XI - Surprised? (Yes... Yes I am...)

Surprised? (Yes... Yes I am...)

"Jayden....? .... wake up..... Jayden wake up, please?" I hear a voice calling to me through my hazy sleep. "Jayden wake up." I feel myself being shook gently by somepony. I groan and open an eye to see a dark hoof pushing into me. "Jayden? Are you awake?" I reply with a shallow 'mhmm' and the voice continues. "I have wonderful news."

I sat up and rubbed my eyes opening them to look at the pony who interrupted my slumber. Thankfully it wasn't Applejack, telling me she had some work for me to do. "Wonderful news? Well then lets hear it." I say tiredly getting up and stretching myself even more awake. I was still sore but I ignored the searing in my muscles and put on a smile for her.

"I have acquired a job." I almost fell flat on my face until that strange force from before lifted me and put me back on my hooves. I look at her amazed, who knew she'd get a job within the first day. I really had to step it up tomorrow and find a job. If I didn't what kind of role model would I be?

"That's great Moon, what job did you get?" I ask shaking the surprise off my face and changing it back to a smile trying to cover my surprise as much as possible even though it was near impossible at this point.

"I work at the schoolhouse." She replied with a sharp smile. By sharp I mean her sharp teeth are showing and gleaming pearly white. Besides the fact her teeth being as sharp as razor blades she really does have nice teeth.

"The school? Okay, what job do you have? Teacher, Co-Teacher, Librarian, or maybe a teacher's aide?" My mind was going through all the possibilities of school jobs. Most of them were great, besides janitor, worst... Job... EVER! I couldn't keep my mind from wondering to her in a teacher's outfit.... I shook my head again to purge my mind of those dirty thoughts and slap them into a lockbox in my brain with a sign that says 'DO NOT OPEN EVER!' I turned my attention back to her when she replied.

"Well, I basically am a teacher, but I only come in on certain days." I could literally feel the lockbox in my head rattle for a second before she continued talking. "I was hoping we could celebrate..."

Celebrate? That sounds like a fantastic idea, but how to do it."Hmmmm, how to celebrate..." I though about it for a bit sitting down on the couch and rested my head on my hoof. "How about tomorrow we go into town and we look around for something you want to do? I'm not sure what we'll find but it's worth a look to find maybe a place to have a picnic if Granny is kind enough to whip us up somethin'. Sound ok?"

I guess my idea made her happy because her smile turned from a sharp one to a soft one with no teeth showing followed by a nod and a yes. I got up and looked outside it was late afternoon about 4:30 if I had to guess. "Do you want to scope out a place for the picnic?"

"Yes, I'd love to. Where should we start looking?" Moon replied almost immediately heading towards the door. "I do hope for a nice sunny spot with some shade from a tree... and maybe a game?" She asked stopping by the door.

"A game? Hmmm, I like games as much as anypony else so... what game?" I ask in reply to her question making my way towards her and opening the door for her.

"I thinking somewhere along the lines of a word game? Or maybe a game of secrets?" I for one liked the idea of a game like that however I really wouldn't like it if any of my secrets were accidentally overheard.

"Why don't we tell Twilight about your new employment. I bet she'd be surpized however I believe that if Celestia hears about it she'll flip." I couldn't help but smile as she did at Celestial flipping out over it. "I can picture it now, Celestial coming down from her chariot at the school a day when you there and when she sees you in front of children, teaching them things. I honestly would love to see the look on her face." Moon smile seemed to get a bit sharper as if she enjoyed the thought. We had made our way outside when we saw Twilight was actually helping AJ with the moving of some apples.

"Well, no better time then the present." Moon declared walking towards Twilight and AJ with confidence, more than I've ever seen. Could it be that maybe she's enjoying this too much? Possible... Too little, that's up for debate. I followed her a bit behind as to not interrupt her in her moment. "Twilight Sparkle, I have something I'd like you to be aware of so you may report my were abouts to Celestia, as I'm sure she is having you watch me." I wasnt close enough to hear what twilight said but both her and AJ stopped and listened to what she was about to say next. "I have acquired a job at the ponyville schoolhouse." I didn't even need to hear the other end of the conversation because Twilights mouth dropped open and AJ just plain stared at Moon with disbelief. The looks on both their faces was just to die for. I had to muffle my own laughter at their shocked and dumbfounded looks. "That is all I wanted to say have a absolutely wonderful day." After that she turned and made her way to me with a rather nice amount of pep in her step. "That felt soooo good..." she sighed in relief and gave me a smile. "Now let's get back to finding that picnic spot."

We then trotted our way around ponyville ignoring the mixed scared and nervous looks from mostly every pony as we passed Moon didn't seem to be at all worried about it though I assumed it didn't bother her that much because she couldn't wait to rub her victory in Celestia's face.

After a few hours of disagreeing on a spot for our picnic we finally decided on a place just outside Whitetail Woods near the Everfree Forest. She claimed the spot was perfect and I couldn't really complain all that much it was a nice spot. A lake in the center of a clearing under the shade of a large and sturdy oak tree that had violets, daisys, and marigolds scattered about making it quite a lovely scene so I couldn't, no wouldn't dare disagree with this. I had to admit it was perfect, just like her.
