Into the Early Morning Night
Jan. 3rd, 2016 10:39 pmLast night, after I'd snuggled up under my horse blankets on the balcony and I was staring up at the sky, Rainbow Dash landed next to me! She'd come to watch to shooting stars too. She'd brought smores and a blanket. So I scooched over a bit on my cushion and offered her some chocolate peppermint spice tea. Then Rarity trotted out on the balcony. Followed closely by Applejack.
Pinkie had planned this 'surprise meteor shower watch with Twilight'. She and Fluttershy were the last to arrive (Spike was asleep in bed the whole time). Everypony brought a little treat too: Rainbow with the smores, Pinkie some hot cocoa, Applejack hot apple cider, Rarity jasmine tea, and Fluttershy, cookies shaped like shooting stars. I got out the cups, plates and more pillows and blankets. I have the best of best friends.
We did see some shooting stars while we laughed and chatted, with mostly just our heads poking out from under our blankets, but I misread my Almanac! The real peak of the meteor shower is tonight, or rather very very early tomorrow. We thought we were just having too good a time and that we had just missed most of the shooting stars speeding overhead. Of the ones we did see, some came quite close. I think our friendship drew them near.
So I'm going back out under the stars for the real peak tonight! It's colder out than it was last night. I'll need more blankets. And a few hot water bottles. Ear muffs. Scarf. Hat. Tea.
