twilightponyWhile the four of us were in Canterlot yesterday, Applejack and Pinkie were hard at work putting together a Mid-Way Through Winter party. Our hay stores are robust, as reported at the Hay Board meeting a few days ago, and the carrots and corn stores are well stocked as well. The last apple crop was a bit lean due to the jump in the vampire fruit bat population last year. I should ask Fluttershy if she found out the why's and wherefores of the bat population boom from the Biodiversity and Ecology board.
So we have food and time on our hooves, it's a good time to throw a party. Fluttershy helped Rarity hang banners and streamers, Applejack saw to it that the tables and bins were supplied with food, punch and treats, Pinkie helped the DJ set up and sound-check her sound system, I double checked to make sure everypony had all the supplies they needed and all the invoices were in order, and Rainbow Dash flew around town distributing flyers and pulling a banner inviting all the townsponies.
By two in the afternoon ponies were lined up at the door to the Town Hall and we were ready.
First event, Rainbow Dash and a few of her fellow Wonderbolt reservists wowed us with a show. With practiced, precision flying, they performed aerial stunts, skywriting and cloud sculpting. Great teamwork! Then Mayor Mare made a (mercifully short) speech and we threw open the doors to the Town Hall. There was food, music, dancing, games, confetti and streamers everywhere. Everything a pony could want for a good party. Pinkie stuck a crown on my head and had me waving from the balcony. I'm going to get Pinkie for that! I should have a new copy of that book on practical jokes in my library. But on the other hoof, I'd better not start a gag war that I'm sure to lose. I'll just glower at her for a bit.
The party still going strong, but I'm all partied out. And stuffed too. I don't think I'll need to eat for a week. Now I'm going to enjoy a bit of light reading before turning in.
