The sun was high over Fillydelphia as Flutterbreeze awoke from his nap. He rolled over on the cloud he rested on and shielded his eyes from the light. He was a blue pegasus, with a curly blue mane, including a beard and moustache, and yellow eyes. He discovered he was still wearing his mailpony uniform when he woke up. As usual, he decided a fresh cup of coffee would be a great way to start the afternoon. He yawned and stretched his wings before drifting down to the ground.
The birds were singing as he strolled through Fairmount Park, above which is his favorite place to nap during the day. He walked the streets of Fillydelphia until he arrived at the coffee shop owned by his best friend, Coffeeflower. Coffeeflower, the barista, was a thin unicorn with a brown coat and yellow mane. He greeted him as he entered the shop.
“Well hello there, Flutterbreeze. You look like you’ve been enjoying a long sleep.”
“Five hours. I figured it was about time to face the day.”
“I should hope so, any later and you might have missed it! Anyways, the usual?”
Flutterbreeze nodded and Coffeeflower got to work, blending all the ingredients magically with his horn. “That was quite some time you had over in Cloudsdale yesterday, wasn’t it?”
“Oh, I’m still trying to repress the memories. Hopefully today will be free from surprises.”
“Good luck with that one” Coffeeflower floated the finished drink to Flutterbreeze, who grabs it out of the air.
“Another masterpiece. Well, a pegasus can dream, can’t he? Anyways, I’ll see you later. I’m sure I’ve got a ton of work piled up, literally!”
Flutterbreeze made his way to the delivery section of the post office. ‘Just as I thought.’ His mailbag was completely full of letters. He read the address on one of them to see where he was going. ‘Ponyville, how interesting. I haven’t been there in a while. What could possibly be going on there?’
In a small side pocket he found a letter for him. ‘Oh boy, here we go again!’ He opened and read its stately message:
Agent Flutterbreeze, we recently sent all our operatives from Ponyville on assignment, and we need you to cover for them until they return. Another message will provide the specifics when you arrive.
He ate the letter for disposal, thinking about what was to come. ‘Hmm, this could be an uneventful day, but I have a bad feeling about the word “specifics”. That and the fact that this job is never boring. Still, Ponyville is nice this time of year, and this could be a lot of fun. Lots of strange things have been going on over there lately it seems.’
He packed his things and slung the mailbag over his back, unhappy about the weight he would have to carry for such a long trip. But duty calls, and he took off to the skies. He admired the town scenery as he left, and was soon flying over Chom Poo Acres. He spotted his friend Appleshine working in the orchards and decided to fly down to see him before continuing on.
“Hey Appleshine, I’m heading to Ponyville today. Can I have one for the road?”
Appleshine smiled as he said, “I don’t know whether I should ask ‘Why does the road need an apple?’ or say ‘But you don’t use the roads!’’ He tossed an apple up at Flutterbreeze, who caught it.
“Yes I know, the jokes just write themselves, don’t they? Anyways, thanks and goodbye!”
“Yeah, see you later man.”
It was night-time when Flutterbreeze finally arrived in Ponyville, and his wings were so sore he could barely move them anymore. He decided that both the mail and his mission, would have to wait until morning, so he gathered up a nice-looking cloud at the edge of town and went to sleep.
When he awoke, Flutterbreeze was startled at the sight of a blue mare with a rainbow mane hovering over him, looking puzzled. He asked her, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Well its not every day a new pony comes to town, especially alone, in the middle of the night, wearing a uniform, and sleeping on one of my favorite clouds.”
“Oh I’m sorry, is this yours? I just needed some place to sleep for the night, that’s all.”
“Its not a problem at all, but who are you? And what do you have in the bag?”
He quickly said, “Mail! I’m the mailpony here to deliver the mail from Fillydelphia.” He forced a cheesy grin.
“Odd, I haven’t seen you around here before. And I see everything from up in the sky.”
“Well, I don’t always deliver mail to Ponyville, but when I do, I try to keep a low profile.”
This statement seemed to confuse the rainbow pegasus more that ever, and he realized his error. Nervously, he said, “Anyways, it was nice meeting you miss?”
“Rainbow Dash.”
“Rainbow Dash, eh? My name’s Flutterbreeze. Now if you’ll excuse me I have quite a few letters to deliver today.”
“Alright, nice meeting you too...” When he left she said under her breath, “weirdo” then laid down on the cloud for a nap.
When Flutterbreeze arrived at the Ponyville post office, he picked up an updated map and address book of the town, along with more mail, including the letter for himself. He began reading the letter silently to himself:
Agent Flutterbreeze, there are a few matters that need to be investigated and addressed in Ponyville.
‘Ha, addressed! I see what they did there.’
One of our operatives was investigating rumors of strange occurrences in the Everfree Forest yesterday when we lost all communication with them. Your first priority is to find her and provide aid if necessary. There have also been reports of a monster leaving the Froggy Bottom Bog, threatening the whole area. Last, but not least, you are to investigate the stories of a secret cult inside Ponyville that has been foal-napping young ponies for unknown reasons. As always, report your findings when you are done, and deliver the mail on time.
‘Sounds like a slow day for me.’ He thought sarcastically as he ate the letter. He looked around the post office. A few of the workers were staring at him. He recognised a couple of them from past trips to Ponyville. “What? Its a good source of fiber.” He said aloud. The others shook their heads and slowly returned to their work. ‘Why is everyone acting so suspicious today?’
He shrugged and walked out of the post office, saying aloud to himself, “This is going to be a cakewalk.”
Suddenly a very pink pony rushed up to him and said, excited, “Did somebody say cake? A cakewalk? Is that where we walk on cakes? Or maybe where cakes walk on us?”
With a concerned look on his face Flutterbreeze said, “No... that was just a figure of speech... there is no cake.”
“The cake is a lie? Awwwwwwwww. *gasp* WAIT A MINUTE!” With that, she dashed off at full speed, leaving Flutterbreeze clueless. ‘Well, this certainly is an interesting town.’ No time to spare, he flew off towards the Everfree Forest.
“Now there’s a sight for sore eyes. The wild and untamed forest, a mixture of primitive fright and natural beauty. I honestly have no clue what “strange occurrences” would mean for a place like this, but I guess I’ll find out.”
Flutterbreeze slowly made his way into the forest, marking landmarks as he went so he could find his way back. Then he realized he could just fly out if need be and stopped. A plethora of strange sights, sounds, and smells awaited every step he took. His curiosity was piqued, but he had a job to do, and it couldn’t wait a minute longer than necessary. That and the forest was a little bit creepy.
He still wondered what a “strange occurrence” was supposed to mean. ‘These vague assignments are always difficult. Its basically just a lack of Intel leaving 100% of the work to field operatives.’ He stopped dead in his tracks... no, not literally.
He quickly ducked behind a tree and peered around it. The outline of a small pony was visible through the brush, but it was unmoving. ‘It could be the agent I was looking for... or an enemy.’ He decided to fly up and take a closer look from above. He peered at the young filly for a while before thinking, ‘Mother of Celestia, she’s been turned to stone!’ He nervously looked around him and retreated to a nearby bush.
He reached into his mailbag and pulled out his communicator. He speedily typed a message to his commander:
Can I have a physical description of the missing operative?
He waited a few moments before the response came:
Young filly. Yellow coat. Red hair. No cutie mark. Wears large pink bow.
Although being a stone, coloration was not visible, it was obvious that this was the missing operative he was looking for. He took a picture of her and sent it with the response, “I found her.” back to the commander. He waited another minute before receiving the final message:
Sweet gravy and sassafras! What happened?!? I suggest you leave the area immediately and gain information from the locals townsponies about the cause and remedy of this.
Flutterbreeze sighed. ‘Of course, I’ll just walk into town and ask somepony what to do when you get turned into stone. Brilliant!’ He took one last look at the statuesque agent. Without another alternative, he decided to do as he was instructed and cautiously left the forest for town.
Although the bright sunlight was always a bit bothersome to him, Flutterbreeze welcomed it as he exited the gloomy woods. He was just getting ready to take off for town when he noticed a rabbit running straight at him, which then jumped on top of his hat, much to his surprise. And then he saw her, a yellow pegasus with pink mane and soft blue eyes. He thought she was beautiful... and she was running right at him.
She stopped near him, and they paused for a moment. He didn’t know what to say at first, but he finally smiled and said, “Uh, hello there. Is this bunny yours?” He picked the rabbit up off his head and handed it to her. It seemed reluctant.
“Oh, yes.” she said, “I was just going to give angel here his bath, but he always makes such a fuss. Thank you for finding him for me.”
He blushed. “It, it was nothing, really. He just sort of jumped up on my head.”
“Oh, well that’s odd. He’s usually so shy around strangers... oh, by the way, who are you?”
“I’m Flutterbreeze, a mailpony.”
Then she blushed, making him blush again. “My name is Fluttershy.”
They didn’t say anything for a few moments. They just stood smiling until Flutterbreeze remembered his mission.
“Oh, sorry I uhh, have to go now. But it was very lovely you- meeting you.”
“Oh, I suppose do have a lot of mail to deliver. See you later then.”
“Yes, I hope so. See you later.” He tipped his hat and flew off, but watched Fluttershy from the air long enough to see which way she was trotting home to. She stopped once to look up at him. He noticed a fuzzy feeling in his stomach.
As he flew over Ponyville, Flutterbreeze wondered where he could possibly go, or who he could ask to find out what turns people into stone... without seeming too suspicious. ‘Cake shop, dress shop, oh the library! A fountain of knowledge both real and fictitious, and its a tree. Fancy that. Meh, I guess its worth a shot.’
He landed at the door of the library and walked in. He spotted a baby dragon snoring on the couch, but then a lavender mare walked up and greeted him, “Hello, and welcome to the library. Can I help you find something in particular?”
“Actually, yes. Do you have anything about people being turned into stone?”
The mare looked a bit confused. “That’s... a bit of an unusual request, but yes. Are you looking for non-fiction or mythology?”
“Non-fiction please.”
The confused look changed to worry on her face. “Alright.” She walked over to a bookshelf. “Why on Equestria do need this for anyways?”
He became a bit anxious. “Oh, I’ve just always been curious about such things.”
“Well, I’ve actually been turned to stone once myself.”
This excited him. “Really? How did that happen?” He may have made himself seem a little too interested.
“It was a cockatrice, a rooster-headed creature that lives in the Everfree forest. If you look at it directly it can turn you to stone.”
“That’s it! I mean, um, that’s just the sort of thing I would like to read about.” He made a really fake-looking grin.
She used her magic to bring a book about the forest’s strange creatures down from a shelf, and opened it to the section on cockatrices. “You haven’t, say, run into anyone turned into stone have you?”
“Oh, no no no no no. I’m just genuinely curious is all.” Her glare showed that she didn’t buy his story for a minute. He started reading:
The cockatrice can turn its victims into stone at a glance... yadda yadda yadda... The effect of being turned into stone cannot be undone by killing the cockatrice. Although few accounts are verified of recoveries, it is believed that one may be revived if the cockatrice cries at the sight of the victim... blah blah blah... it is said that one who forces a tear from the cockatrice is forever immune from that particular beast’s effects, though not to other cockatrices’ gazes.
“Well that was very helpful.” Flutterbreeze looked at the unicorn still glaring at him. “Helpful in satisfying my curiosity. Thank you.” He handed the book back to her, and she put it away.
“Anyways, I’d better get going, I have important stuff to do.”
“I’m sure you do.” He felt ever more awkward the more she spoke. “But before you go, who are you? I’ve never seen you here in Ponyville before.”
“I’m Flutterbreeze, a mailpony.”
“And I’m Princess Celestia. Oh wait, that’s not right, I’m Twilight Sparkle, and I hope you have a real nice day with that new-found knowledge of yours.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
He left quicky, glad to be away from that incredibly awkward situation, and her stare.
‘Alright, now. How do I make a bird-headed monster cry? Oh, now there’s an idea!’
Back at the Everfree forest, Flutterbreeze prepared for the task ahead by putting on a pair of blindfolds. ‘Alright, I got this. No cockatoo is gonna turn me into a lawn ornament.’ *bonk* ‘Ow, that was a very stealthy tree.’ *bonk* ‘Same with that one.’ *bonk* ‘Ok this isn’t going to work!’ He ripped the blindfold off and threw it on the ground, then rubbed his nose.
‘I need another plan.’ He rummaged through his mailbag. ‘Hmm, I wonder...’ He pulled out a mirror, and some duct tape, then attached the mirror to the brim of his hat, in front of his face. ‘Alright, its awkward, but it just might work... or at least keep me from running into trees.’
And so, he walked backwards into the Everfree forest. He thought about honey badgers, which made him feel better about the scenario.
He returned to the young operative, still stone, and then wandered the area aimlessly. Suddenly there came a noise that put a chill down his spine. It was something halfway between a rooster’s crow and and a roar.
‘Now I know I skipped the part explaining what it sounded like, but if I were to take a guess, I would say that was it.’
He flew up into the canopy, then backed towards the direction of the noise, looking skywards so he could see the ground.
Then he saw it... the dreaded cockatrice! He quietly reached into his mailbag and pulled out a sack, then slowly lowered himself towards it. It was pecking at the ground, not noticing the pegasus descending upon it, inch by inch, little by little. Flutterbreeze started to sweat a bit as his tail got inches from the ground. It was right behind him. He slowly lifted the sack up... opened it wide... NABBED IT! In one acrobatic flip he snatched the bird-thing up in the sack before it knew what happened.
He let out a huge sigh of relief. He could feel his heart pounding, trying to leap from his chest. He tied the end of the sack and removed the mirror from his hat. After catching his breath, he dragged the cockatrice back to the stone agent.
Flutterbreeze untied the end of the sack, holding onto what he believed to be a foot. The beast bit at his hoof through the fabric. He reached in with his other hoof and grabbed its rooster neck, and pulled it from the sack. It struggled, but he jumped on top of it and forced its gaze upon the victim. He then pulled a knife out of his mailbag, then carefully positioned it below the Cockatrice’s head, and sliced mercilessly at an onion he had placed there.
As tears flowed from its chicken eyes, it subdued, and the stone pony became flesh again. Flutterbreeze let the beast run free, then walked over to the young filly, apparently now dizzy.
“Wha... what happened? Who are you?”
“I’m agent Flutterbreeze, I was sent to find you after you went missing. And you are suffering from Whoa-I-was-just-turned-to-stone sickness. It should pass in a few hours.”
“I’m agent Applebloom. Wait, I was turned to stone?”
“Yes, by a cockatrice.”
“Gosh darnit! Not again. Hey what’s with the onions?”
“Oh, never-mind that. Have you found out about the “mysterious occurences” yet?”
“Yeah, it was just a false alarm. These here pony folk get so spooked by the forest.”
“All that for nothing. Well, almost nothing.”
“Anyways, why don’t y’all come on over to the farm so we can discuss the rest of the mission.”
Flutterbreeze’s stomach growled.
“An’ we can rustle some grub too!”
“I suppose that would be best. As long as we can get out of this strange place.”
“Absolutely! Oh, but first ah reckon ah’d better call the chief an’ let ‘em know what happened.”
“Well, here were are, Sweet Apple Acres! C’mon an’ let me introduce yah to mah family.”
Flutterbreeze and Applebloom walked past countless apple trees full of ripe, juicy apples, which did nothing to help his hunger. Eventually, them came across a orange mare with yellow mane, bucking apples off a tree.
“Well howdy there sis!” Applebloom yelled.
“Applebloom! Where have you been? You’ve been gone a whole day and night! And who’s this?”
“Weeeeeeeell, its a bit of a long story. Ah was just out wanderin’ in the Everfree forest ta see what everpony was so worried about when a cockatrice found me... again. But then this here gentlecolt came along and rescued me. We was just about to have us some grub”
“Applebloom, what are we gonna do with you? You just never learn do you?” She turned to Flutterbreeze. ‘Well thank you kindly for savin’ this here little sister of mine. She’s always getting intah trouble. I’m Applejack.”
“I’m Flutterbreeze, nice to meet you.”
“Howdy do, Flutterbreeze, but what were y’all in the forest anyways?”
“I’m a mailpony, so I was just delivering mail... to...”
“Zecora!” Applebloom interrupted. “We went over ta her place after he found me.”
Applejack thought a moment, “I reckon that makes sense. Anyways, Ah’ve got ta keep apple bucking but y’all help yourself ta whatever grub suits yer fancy.”
Applebloom and Flutterbreeze kept walking, and she said “Ah’m not a very good cook, but there’s always apples and applejuice.”
“That would be fine, anything to help fill the bottomless pit in my stomach.”
At the farmhouse, Flutterbreeze met Applebloom’s big brother, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith. They then went out the her clubhouse to eat and discuss the rest of the mission.
Flutterbreeze had a mouthful of apple when Applebloom said, “Ah reckon y’all know about the other mission I was on.” An awkward silence continued until he could finally swallow.
“I’ve received notice of two missions. A monster escaping from some place called the Foggy Bottom Bog, and some foal-napping cult.”
“A monster? That’s new. By the way its called the FROGGY Bottom Bog. And its not a colt, its some twisted secret society.”
“That’s what I said, a cult.”
“Not a colt, you nitwit, a group of insane ponies up to no good.”
“I know, that’s what a cult is!”
“Ugh, maybe ah better handle that mission while you go hunt yer monster.”
“You sure you’re fit to handle it on your own?”
“A course I am! I may be young but that doesn’t mean I’m weak. I could probably whip YOU if I wanted to”
“Alright, alright, don’t throw a fit. Maybe next time I find you turned to stone I’ll just leave you there.”
‘Ah’m not throwin’ a fit! Yer throwin’ a fit!”
“FINE, I’m throwing a fit! Happy? Just tell me where this foggy, boggy, bog is so I can look for the monster.”
She pointed at a map of Ponyville on the wall drawn in crayon. At the edge of town was a picture of a marsh with a frog in it.
“Alright, well I guess I’d better get going then.” He looked down at the apple with one bite in it. “Ok, I’ll finish my lunch and THEN get going.”
Flutterbreeze was expecting more scenery like the Everfree Forest, but the woods around the Froggy Bottom Bog were remarkably docile. As far as he could tell, there was nothing out of the ordinary... except for a certain “monster” running amuck. ‘Should make it easier to find, at least.’
He kept trotting along, ever alert, until her heard a scream off in the distance. ‘That’s my cue!’ He galloped through the trees at top speed, till he eventually came to a clearing. It was a picnic area where a pony family was having a picnic, or at least they were until they were interrupted.
Flutterbreeze noted a trail of mud along the grass leading through the clearing. He chuckled to himself, ‘It really IS running... a muck.’ *facehoof*
The picnickers told him that a big green and brown monster had come through and ate the whole picnic. “MY POTATO SALAD! WHY POTATO SALAD?!? WHY!?!?!?!?!” Despite the amount of time they had spent preparing it, Flutterbreeze thought it a bit melodramatic.
No time to spare, and hot on the trail, he followed the oozing path of the monster all the way through the forest. ‘This guy can run! He must be at the bog’s jogging track every day.’
The mud path continued all the way to Ponyville, right up to the front door of Carousel Boutique, from which he could hear the screams of a filly in distress.
He flew over to a window and looked inside. Therein he saw the monster. It looked like a big lump covered in mud and tangled up weeds, with two big blue eyes and a mouth. It walked around the room touching things, leaving mud everywhere while a white unicorn with purple mane sat in a corner and screamed.
“THE WORST POSSIBLE THING!!!”
Flutterbreeze flew around and burst through the doors. “Have no fear! Flutterbreeze is here! Now, you rascal its time you left this town and went back where you came from!” He puffed out his chest at the monster, which then roared at him, throwing its mud-slobber around.
“COME AT BE BRO!”
The monster charged, but Flutterbreeze flew off to the side as it ran out the doors with its momentum. He followed the beast outside, duct tape in hand. As he got up close to it, he dodged a couple of swings from its filthy arms, then thew one end of the duct tape at it. He then circled around it as fast as he could, tying its arms down.
But, after a moment its arms retreated inside of it, then reformed from the mass, as if they were made of mud. The monster then pelted Flutterbreeze with a huge ball of mud, which coated him and knocked him to the ground.
“So, you want to fight dirty eh?” He said, wiping off his face. He got airborne again, reached into his mailbag, and pulled out a hairdryer. He then flew around the monster, continually heating it up, dodging its swings, until it finally hardened so much it couldn’t move. He then shot up into the sky, and dived down to kick it, right in the... gut? Regardless, the strike was decisive, and the monster was down, defeated.
By this time, a small crowd had gathered at the scene, which started cheering. Flutterbreeze felt a little embarrassed and shrank back behind the boutique from where he watched the townsfolk carry the monster back to the bog. He could see tears coming from its big blue eyes, which made him feel a little sad... and confused. ‘Why did it come here in the first place?’ He pondered this for a few minutes, then looked inside the boutique, where the unicorn was frantically cleaning up. ‘Aha! That’s it!’
He stepped inside, and was noticed by the unicorn. “So that rampaging... thing is gone now? Thank heavens! It left such a frightful mess of my studio.” She looked him over. “And your uniform! I can’t thank you enough by the way, for getting rid of it. I’m Rarity, by the way. But, who are you?”
“I’m Flutterbreeze, just a simple mailpony trying to help out those in need.”
“Oh surely you don’t expect me to believe that. I mean, the way you battled it was downright heroic.”
“Oh nonsense! I don’t think it even wanted to fight. I honestly believe it... wanted a dress.”
“A dress! A dress? You think that... came all the way here looking for a dress?”
Flutterbreeze nodded. “Why else would a swamp thing go to a dress shop? Besides, I could tell by the look in its eyes that it was sad and disappointed about something.”
“You really think so?” He nodded again. She sighed and looked at a pile of filthy cloth. “Well, I suppose I could make something out of this mud-covered fabric. Its not like I can use it for anything else.” She looked back at him and said in a more cheerful tone, “And while I’m at it I can make you a new uniform! No no, don’t try to object dear, I INSIST. After all you’ve more than earned it after what you did.”
“Well... that’s very generous of you, thanks. Oh, but I’d better be on my way, I have lots of mail to deliver still. Oh, I bet there’s some in here for you.” He opened the mailbag and pulled out quite a few fashion magazines, as well as a couple letters. ‘So THAT’S what all the weight was from!’
“Alright, come by later and pick up your uniform. And thanks again. Wait! I forgot to get your measurements!”
After all the mail from Fillydelphia had been delivered, and he retrieved his new uniform, Flutterbreeze returned to the Ponyville post office. There waiting for him was another pile of mail, including a letter for himself, just what he was afraid of. ‘Oh no, not another plot against the princess...’
Just then he got a message on the communicator, it was from Agent Applebloom.
The mission has been completed sucessfully, but it is imperative that you return to the library at once.
He packed up the mail and flew over to the library as quick as he could. Opening the door, it was pitch black inside... and silent as the grave. ‘I’ve got a bad feeling about this...’
Suddenly the lights turned on. “SURPRISE!!!”
His jaw dropped at the scene inside. The room was filled with ponies, decorations were hung all over, there was music playing, food could be seen at tables. In front of the group were the ponies he had already met, and the young, sleepy dragon.
The very pink pony bounced up and down. “Surprise! Its a party! Were you surprised? You look surprised. I know I was. Oh wait, no I wasn’t, cause I planned it cause earlier when you said cake and I thought there was cake and you said there wasn’t it made me sad and then I thought *gasp* you are new here and don’t know anypony here so we should have a party and then there would be cake and so we planned the party and now there is cake and so I knew about the party and so it wasn’t a surprise to me-”
“I think what Pinky Pie is trying to say,” interrupted Twilight, “Is that we all thought it a good idea to throw a party to welcome you to Ponyville and thank you for what you’ve done.”
“Like saving my little sis from the cockatrice.” Applejack said.
“I KNEW IT!” Twilight yelled. “Um, I mean I knew you were a little too curious.”
“And you got the swamp thing out of my boutique, while at the same time opening up a line of business to the swamp monsters.” added Rarity.
“Yeah, it was totally awesome how you defeated it! Flying in there and dive bombing it from the sky!” Rainbow Dash made had gestures while she talked. “Then bam! Right in the gut!”
She made a punching motion in the air.
“And you returned my bunny to me.” Fluttershy quietly added.
By this time Flutterbreeze was melting with embarrasment. “Well, I’m just in the right place at the right time I guess...”
“Oh, but there’s got to be more than that. Mailponies don’t just go around doing stuff like this everyday.” Twilight said.
“Yeah its like you’re some kind of super secret agent!” Rainbow dash put on a pair of sunglasses as she said this.
Flutterbreeze chuckled, “Ha ha ha, that’s a laugh!” Pinkie Pie joined him in laughing for a bit.
“Anyways, we were hoping you could stick around for a little bit and enjoy a party.” said Twilight. “So, what do you say?”
“What do I say? What do I say?” said Flutterbreeze “I SAY, LETS DANCE!!!”
And so all the ponies, plus one dragon, enjoyed a night full of joyful merriment, which included dancing, pin the tail on the pony, punch, and of course, cake.
“Time to write a letter to the princess!” said Twilight.
“If you’d like to, I can deliver it. You see, I’m headed off to Canterlot right away.” offered Flutterbreeze, patting his full mailbag.
The ponies looked a little disappointed. Rarity was a little envious.
“But hopefully I can come back again sometime soon!” This gave them hope.
After the letter had been written and sealed, they said their farewells before Flutterbreeze flew off into the night. ‘Well, that wasn’t such a bad adventure after all!’
