There aren't many gardening jobs in Cloudsdale. Poor Purple Carnation! But a chance encounter might change that. Or not.

Story written for the The New Blood Contest.

I actually was initially aiming for three bonuses: two PoVs that run concurrently, experiment with the form, and story told as a collection of works in-universe; but, as per contest rules, the last one can be ignored.

Two friends end up in Equestria. One loves it, and the other hates it. Will their friendship survive? A shameless self-insert featuring a transgender mare and her cynical friend.
