Mail by Lyra_lover777 (me!)



"But momma, we can't leave yet! The MAIL hasn't come yet!" The auburn coated filly with the blond mane then dug her muzzle in the shoulder of an older mare, who had an ice blue coat and an icy glare set upon her face.
"I do not care for any mail, Pippy. No, get get! Me must make haste!"
The mare then pushed the filly, Pippy, out the door, which was just really a cut out in the props.
The mare inched towards the table and picked up a glass of water and sipped it perfectly while a black coated pegasus stallion walked in. His burnt orange mane was shaggy and short, and he kissed the mare on the cheek.
"The mail here yet, Hon?" he asked the ice mare.
"NO!" she shouted, and bucked the stallion out of the "house."
More and more ponies appeared, asking about mail and getting bucked away by old ice mare.
Vinyl groaned into Octavia's shoulder.
"What is this crap?"
"Shh, just be quiet. Derpy's the ninety seventh one to ask about mail, so were just going to have to wait." Octavia replied.
"Well, I'm going to the bathroom,"
Vinyl pushed her way through the aisle, which was made mostly out of bored or sleeping ponies.
Octavia was forced to wait by herself while the play went on.
Soon the only noises in the theater were from the performance, and the crowd, which came in the sound of loud snores and sniffs while ponies slept fitfully.
Octavia was counting. They were nearing the eighty mark. She believed herself to be the only non actor awake now. Even several of the ponies working props must have fallen asleep because at one point a giant light fell form the ceiling, almost crushing a lime green unicorn.
Finally they reached the end of the act, the ninety seventh. The other three actor ponies had fallen asleep waiting to go on stage and had been escorted out by a barely awake assistant.
Suddenly Derpy came out, smiling like the sun.
She asked the ice mare about mail, but the ice mare herself had fallen asleep and was drooling on the tile floor.
Derpy then counted to ten and then sang out a loud note that supposedly her fellow actors and actresses were supposed to sing with her.
"MAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" she squeaked, breaking light bulbs everywhere and Vinyl's glasses. Vinyl had just returned from the bathroom, which had really been her hiding outside the building until she thought the show was over.
Derpy flew up to them form the stage, knocking into a seat or two on her way.
"Did ya see it?" Derpy asked Vinyl.
"Well, I was in the bathroom for the most part..."
"Well we'll just do it again then!" Derpy squealed, pointing to the passed out ponies on stage behind her, who were snoring and drooling.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" every awake pony in the building screeched before promptly making an exit.
"Wow," Derpy said. "It must have been so good that everypony remembered every moment, so they don't need to see it again!"
She then flew out the door, or more like bumped into the door frame repeatedly before ripping it off the wall and flying away haphazardly.
