This story is a sequel to Cuddles III
Spring rains make the crops grow, and the weatherponies mostly schedule them around when ponies commute, but sometimes ponies get caught out and sometimes a pony’s just got to roll in a mud puddle on her way home.
Was that silly? Or was I the foolish one for not remembering the joys of fresh puddles?

I had an April Showers with a sister May Flowers in one of my stories.
Rain in the springtime, mud puddles, and ponies in hoodies; this is what is good in life.
A cute. A. Cute.

pots of flowers
In Equestria, flowers eat you!
I must admit, I'm confused that she didn't shower off the mud when she came in.
And I just moved out of my Sears and Roebuck home too. Oh well, life goes on.
"Glüüüüe-*coughing*"
Bruh, are we ever gonna see them kiss?

Lets hope it wasn't pony based, he might have gotten a taste for them and gone feral.

Oh sh**, I totally didn't realize how dark that was until you brought it up.
Cu...Cuddles IV?!
*nervously presses upvote and fav* Okay... now that the paperwork is done, let’s get our fix...
Pony: *offers fair price*
Human: *accepts fair price*
Pony: *sad pony noises*
Occasionally after a fierce battle concludes the pony and the monster decide to hit the bar together, sharing a drink (battling makes thirsty, after all). That's why she is sometimes late.
A silly filly doing silly filly things?
I see nothing out of the ordinary here.
Fair enough.
And Twilight once tried to tell me invisibility would be a master-level spell...
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
Ok this is very cute indeed. And also amazingly heartwarming
Are they in a small town? I can't remember. I guess then everyone would know who the resident human is living with.
That reminds me of the couple in The Haunting.
There's nothing like the lovely feel of mud squishing between your toes. We should all endeavor to remain children at heart, just for that particular sensation.
This was the blast of silly pony cuteness that I needed.

That seems like a common combo of pony names, TBH, especially if you’ve got a pegasus and then an earth pony.
But a good pair, nevertheless; they’ve got the symbiotic relationship all worked out.
10814907
It really is
10814931
Thank you!
10814964
Corrections made, thank you!
I mean, that is kinda canon with the tatzulwurm or Flowey or whatever that thing was.

I might be mixing up canon with fanon. . . .
Then you defeat the purpose of it. Mud doesn’t work right if you just wash it back off right away, you gotta let it dry and then brush it out.

Shame . . . I was going to include mention that you could buy houses and have them delivered from the Steers and Roebuck catalog . . . I think the one I have predates houses (it’s a reprint of a 1902 catalog), or else you didn’t order them from the normal catalog.

Fun fact, many school glues are wheat-based, thus making them non-toxic. And tasty!
10815038
I think they did in the second one, not entirely sure.
10815158

It was probably wheat based, ‘cause that’s non-toxic and you know kids are going to eat the stuff. PVA, the other common craft glue type, is also (mostly) non-toxic and not made from hooves. Elmer’s school paste is currently corn-based.

Theoretically, the spa or the farrier could keep hoof-trimmings and sell them to a glue-maker for some side income. I think some barbers used to do something like that with human hair (the barber also could have been pulling my leg; either way, I no longer trust barbers).
Anyway, if one really wanted to run with that idea, perhaps the kind of hoof would change the properties of the glue; perhaps earth pony hoof glue is the strongest.

One can never have too many cuddles.
10815606
Like, you gotta haggle or else the pony is sad.
Reminds me of the old Warner Brothers cartoon with the sheepdog and the wolf? Where they’d greet each other, punch in, spend their shifts fighting each other, then be civil at the end of the day.
It is Equestria, that’s very plausible.
Like, it’s a fresh mud puddle, of course it needs to be rolled in.
Obviously, Twilight doesn’t know the power of the hoodie.
Thank you!
10815900
Thank you!
10815901
Yes, they are, so everypony knows everypony’s business.
The difference is that Milfoil is a sensible earth pony doing sensible earth pony things, whereas Cami is a silly fluffy unicorn.
10816068
Totally agreed. We haven’t had a proper rain in a while, but I think the next time we do, I need to squish around in a puddle.
10816104
Thank you!
Hoodies make everything better.
10816178
Do I need to commission Cami this time? XD
10815606
10816175
I wonder what would happen if he purposely haggled the other way...
"Two bits is a fair price!"
"I dunno'... They can't possibly be worth less than three bits."
thats it i need a origin story for how these two met and became roommates like the details
I just binged through all the "Cuddles" stories. They were exactly what I needed to help stave off this mild funk that's been creeping in. Thanks Admiral Biscuit!
I will see your mud puddles Cami and raise you stretching out in a bed of blossoming clover on a warm, sunny sunset surrounded by blooming honeysuckle and wild rose
1 out of 1 Celestias agree!
derpicdn.net/img/view/2017/12/4/1600271.png
Oh boy, what a treat! More Cuddles, huzzah!
This is why as Celestia's student, Sunset Shimmer had more suitors than she knew what to do with. Or really wanted.
In any case, wonderfully wholesome little story. Thank you for it. (And Cuddles III, which I hadn't read until now.)
10816178
Silly fluffy unicorns are, after all, the best.
10816317
They do, indeed.
10816689
I could contact the artist I yoinked the coverart from and ask if he/she would draw the rest of the unicorn . . .
10816933
Poor May Flowers would be so confused.
Heck, if someone did that to me, I’d be confounded. I always ask more than I want for a car and let myself be talked down, I don’t know what Id’ do if they offered more. Midwestern nice, I’d probably refuse to accept it or give them something else as well.
10817078
Either in the line at Cheerful Cow-Bear, or else it involved a magic spell gone wrong and Cami showing up to fix it.
I kinda like the second; maybe one of the typewriters at the office went rogue.
10818479
Yay, Cuddles made it better!
(seriously, though, most of these get written when I need to decompress; helping others in the same boat is a fantastic side-effect)
10822169
can you put it in story form please
10819024
Ohh, yes, that is nice too. (also the pic is gorgeous)
There can be only one!
derpicdn.net/img/2016/10/30/1284964/large.png
10819512
Yay! Cuddles are the best!
10819766
In all seriousness, though, and I realize that this is a very loaded question, but is there an ideal pony color in every tribe?
You’re welcome!
And good news to the Cuddles fans, the broken Ford and the work to fix it that brought y’all this is still broken, which leaves open the possibility of Cuddles V following faster than anybody would expect.
