It Was a Real Scream

It seems my shrieking flight through the streets of Ponyville didn't go unnoticed. There was a picture of me being chased by forked lightning on the cover of the Ponyville Express, brought to me by a very gleeful Spike. Who then promptly burped out a scroll from Princess Celestia. She had had a good laugh as well. I hadn't yet realized that Canterlot Castle receives the Ponyville Express too, I guess delivered by Pegasus Express. If I ever had hope of being a picture of princess elegance and poise, this certainly squashed that. Spike plans on asking the Ponyville Express for a print so he can frame it. I'm glad he has his own room now.

Later we all went out to Sugarcube Corner for frozen deserts and to treat Fluttershy. As I suspected, she gave out her ice cream to all her critters and barely tasted it herself.

I passed a lot of giggling ponies on the way there. I think that the Ponyville Express printed extra editions to keep up with demand. My friends all had a copy as well. Rainbow Dash was grinning from ear to ear. At least Fluttershy understood me. Hmph. It didn't help when other patrons in the shop stopped over and sheepishly requested I sign their copies. All the while stealing glances with their friends and suppressing giggles.

I had orange, lime and peppermint sherbet. It was good. I feel like I could eat a whole tub.
