I was enjoying the sunshine in my garden. I could feel it in my mane and it made me feel so happy. But, everything can change in a minute, because one minute I was enjoying the sun, the next I was getting rained on. I really have no idea what the weather ponies were thinking, making it rain on such a pretty day. But, I have no say in the matter, so I simply went inside. Kind of lucky timing you could say, as the second I walked into the door, the phone rang. I checked the caller ID; it was my boss. I quickly picked up and answered with a sweet, "Hello, sir! How are you doing today?" He wasn't having it.
"Ms. Ash, why have you refused to come to work?"
"Well, you see boss," I answered tiredly, "I just haven't felt like going recently." He seemed surprised with my answer as he didn't respond for the good part of a minute. Right as I was about to hang up, he said,
"I need you, Ash."
"Whatever do you mean, sir?" I asked, confused at the worried tone in his voice.
"I just need you to be here at Peace Corps. headquarters as soon as possible," he responded with the same worried tone, this time sounding a tad bit more urgent, "Oh, and you mustn't tell anypony where you are going or why."
"Whatever do you me-," before I could finish, the line went dead. Oh, well isn't this just great, I thought to myself, I get to go to work today after all. I shook my head in confusion before I grabbed the necessary items for a trip to Peace Corps. HQ. "I do believe that I will need an umbrella, it hasn't stopped raining yet," I said woefully as I looked outside at the storm, "I might as well also bring my fedora. Just because it's an urgent meeting doesn't mean I can't look my best!" I grabbed the fedora and carefully placed it atop my head, giving myself a glance-over in a mirror. "I think this will do," I said to my reflection. With that, I headed out the door to the nearest train station.
