MLP:FiM - Mommy NearestA My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic tale.Melius tarde, quam numquam.Rainbow Dash rolled back and sank into the soft, fluffy cloud, the only one in the skies over Ponyville. With a contented sigh she closed her eyes. Despite her misty resting spot the sun's heat had no trouble permeating her sleek body on that hot day. The slight breeze was only the barest whisper in her ears, drowned out by the calls of cicadas and occasional chirping birds. The only other sound was the soft and nearly continuous grating of Big Macintosh's plow tilling the soil directly below.It was one of the easiest days ever. All she had to do was move a big enough
Reunion, Pt. 4Height gives you a psychological advantage, towering over someone as you give them a good stern talking to adds a whole new level to a dressing down. Unfortunately there are very few opportunities for me to physically dominate my opponent without some convenient terrain feature. Best I could do was look her in the face and show no fear. Approaching the stairs, I inspected the windows surrounding that opened on to the porch. There were powerful people lurking in that building, no matter what the public thought about their obsolescence. Avoiding an ambush would be ideal I suppose though if Sarah had betrayed me, I'm not sure En

Sarah stopped beside me, and I dodged her grab for my arm. Frowning, she was about to chide me for my cowardice again no doubt but I attacked first. I smiled at her, for the most part not frightening at all, and pushed her forward "You, go see your family.... I, need, um, a few seconds to, you know, gather my thoughts? Because, I've been too excited to bef-" Not convincing, just shrug and push her forward again. She certainly wasn't convinced, from the look she gave me "I'm sure I'll ge
Reunion, Pt. 2Once again, there we were, standing alone on a small town station's wooden platform as the train pulled out. Sarah and I were the only passengers going there it seemed, though a few locals had been on hand to load produce and pick up mail. It still felt strange to be wearing a dress again, even if she had been able to find one that was a lot like the ones Mother used to wear for everyday, it felt pretentious to be mimicking her appearance. I still had my pack though, no way to get rid of that despite her attempts to get me to leave it with the car and switch to a regular suitcase. I didn't want to g
Reunion, Pt. 1February 28, 2010Location UnknownThere I was. Doesn't some comedian start his routine that way, before launching into some inane story? I heard it somewhere, on the radio one time perhaps, maybe someone told me about it. I don't remember, and it's not exactly important in this case anyway. What is important was WHERE I was, because, it has been quite a day. To say the least. Where I was, was a train as a matter of fact. There are still a few places in this country where such a comparatively peaceful method of transportation is preferred. For one thing, there was no way I was driving half way across the country in a car. And flyin
