Rose Tinted Part IV
Dropping Things (Off)
Dash dipped a hoof into the metal container, relishing the intense wet warmth inside. It'd been a very long afternoon in the highest clouds, and she could use something to drive away the chill. Condensed Rainbow was so piping hot, she could feel the blood returning from her hoof. It was like summertime creeping up her chilly limb.
Work in the highest clouds meant cold. It was the kind of cold that didn't bother interacting with the skin. It didn't give the satisfaction of feeling pierced with cold; it just was. This sort of chill settled into limbs and arms and joints

The night was warm and wonderful and smelled like daffodils and some kind of wild hay on the edge of Carrot Farms' fields. It felt inviting and the kind of weather you rolled in hay and took your foals out to play games in. It also felt totally inappropriate for the situation.
Two carriages sped through the dark winding roads around Ponyville. The first was skidding about erratically, swaying this way and that. Something in the skidding skeetering sloughing of the wheels indicated the leading driver was not wholly "sane and sober." The bulk of the car entered and exit
Driving Rain

Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard.
It was strange warm fog, then a drizzle, and quickly a storm. The patched windows of the library barely held back the winds. Not weather for another sleepover ...
Rarity managed by thinking of Saigon during monsoon season, drinking tea, listening to rainfall.
"S'like Celestia's just pissin' away on a flat rock out there," came a drawl to her side.
The dressmaker cringed. She could - manage. The storm would pass again - just as the first had. Twilight would make it back after the rain. Things would be balanced on a fulcrum, Separated at opposite ends.
The room was several shades too dark.
Pinkie was disappointed; on the previous night, the room had been perfectly bright without the lights on. Now Luna's high moon was overcast by high gray clouds. What little light came from the moon was thin and milky-gray, casting her many cupcakes and cookies in strange charcoal tones.
Even her radiant pink coat was dun and plain in the bakery window's light. Everything felt cold and gray, despite the springtime warmth creeping in from outside. It felt wrong.
The Weather Team must have scheduled an overcast night. Usually, Pinkie would maintain a

Clerical Error

Twilight burst in to the Mayor’s office in a tizzy.
“What do you mean my citizenship is being ‘reconsidered?!’” the violet unicorn barked, beating on the receptionist’s desk, red letter in clenched hoof. The velour on the cheery Calendar Helper was battered quite vigorously by a wax seal of a dancing pony.
“I’m s-sorry miss, I don’t know what-” the orange-maned pony stammered. She trembled from head to carrot cutie mark. Of all the ways she’d imagined meeting with Ponyville’s resident Librarian, there’d been rather mo

Drink Special
by: Chistery
The Tumbling Downs was on the very edge of town, an off-the-path place where usually a stallion could be found with too many sheets to the wind and a few too many gold coins wasted on mead. On most nights the Prancing Pony or the Fancy Girdle would be Rarity's first choice, but tonight of all nights, with the village suddenly pizzled in a late-March rain
That she wouldn't be caught dead looking mangled and upset like this in front of her "social friends", well it was convenient.
Ambling in, the haggard stark white and dark lavender pony took in the sight of a clean, well-lit tavern.
Okay. You got me. I started watching My Little Pony, and thanks to Lauren Faust and Hasbro I'm watching something intended for "all-ages," otherwise read "four-year-old girls."
I'm extremely happy with it. Google Reader is brighter for having Equestria Today in it.
I'm back in action - and the iPhone 4 is nearly here!
