twilightpony | Mad Mare Season

I think we're overdue for some rain in Ponyville. It's been a week or more since I've seen any rain, apart from that psychotropic drizzle in the Everfree forest. Ponyville looks a bit dusty and the fields smell a bit limp.

I'd packed up a picnic blanket and a few books this morning, but after a short stroll I decided against lounging in the pasture grass. I don't want to get that much dust in my books. I decided to put down my bags, roll in sand and gallop like a mad mare up and down the grassy knolls. Well out of sight of any houses. I felt much better. A little shake to get the sand off, a little breeze on a hillock to dry off the sweat while I stared off into the dreamy distance, I gathered up my regal saddle bags and strode royally off into town. The perfect crime.

In the shop windows I saw romantic-themed sweets and treats. Here and there, couples, dining at tables for two at Café Hay, strolling flank against flank in quiet conversation, one mare had a braided dandelion coronet. It's Hearts and Hooves day again. Little wonder I'm feeling frisky and distracted.

I went to the market to see if I could find some dandelions for lunch, but sadly, everypony was sold out. I did get the last tub of chocolate sesame ice cream. I trotted off to the castle to eat it before some other mare asked for it. Starlight, Spike and I polished it off before supper.
