Brumby_Run's Bonanza Borealis (Estee's "Out of Commission")

Author's Note:

[Comedy]

The following is a riff on Estee's Out of Commission (8,573 words, [Slice of Life])

OUT OF COMMISSION SUMMARY: One of the points raised in both the story and the comments is that Rarity is still paying off the Carousel Boutique's mortgage, though she's nearly finished. And that, of course, will be cause for celebration...

Cadance blinked, squinted, shaded her vision with a hoof, and finally turned away from the balcony to ask Shining Armor, “Darling, what’s that glow on the horizon?”

He looked up from the book he'd been reading in bed and smiled. “Oh, didn’t I mention it? Twily wrote to me earlier. Apparently Rarity is having a mortgage burning party.”

Cadance's jaw dropped. She looked back to the ruddy light on the southern horizon, then Shining, then back and forth a few more times. “But Ponyville is thousands of... And there is a mountain range between us...” She shook her head. “How?”

Shining held up a hoof and led her back out onto the balcony. “Shush. If you cant your ears just right...”

He shut his eyes. Cadance followed suit, adjusting her ears, trying to point precisely in the direction of Ponyville...

“Mortgage burning party. Mortgage burning party. Mortgage burning party. No more loans for you!”

Cadance's eyes snapped open. “Wha? Is the Crystal Empire going to have to take out a noise complaint against Equestria?”

Shining draped a foreleg over her withers. “Pinkie Pie. My sister. Possibly even Discord. Don’t question it, just come to bed, honey.”

She bit her lip. “Is it too late to reconsider...”

”Looking forward to your wedding anniversary in two moons' time, Cadance!”

“Gah!!!”
