Previous ChapterNext Chapter

    After a long night's rest, poor Soarin and Dashie. Staying at the crystal castle until midnight was exhausting. Now that it was morning, what a day for the girls to wake up and start their day. Applejack had to harvest apples, Fluttershy had to take care of her animal friends, Twilight as always: royal duties, Rarity had to make outfits for the ponies of Canterlot, and Rainbow just slept in lazily as always.

      After that exhausting night, chatting and having a good time was too much work for the wonderbolts. It reminded them of the grand galloping gala in Canterlot. That occasion was a drab!! Just talking to stuck up ponies; like the canterlot ponies. They hated it. But now, since they got the vacation they always wanted, helped put all the anxiety away.

                                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                "What morning already", groaned Soarin looking at Celestia's golden sun.

                      Soarin,as always, never liked waking up early in the morning. He was not a morning pony. Always complaining he never wants to wake up. But he is always forced to, usually for practices for shows/just work outs. That was one thing he did not like. He then went to the bathroom to get ready to start the day.

"Soarin, you better be here before 8!!" shouted Spitfire through the speakers.

          "Yeah, I'm awake", he shouted back to the speaker. Soarin didn't like it when Spitfire would shout at him like that. If he ever heard Spitfire shout him like that again, he would just stay in bed the whole day. Soarin just covered his face on his pillow groaning and complaining to himself once more.

"Hey sleepyhead , you awake", Surprise said jumping over to her stallion friend.

"What is it Surprise?"

"Just stopping by to say good morning, Soar. You better show up at the mess hall, all of us will be waitng for you there". Then Surprise walks off to the mess hall.

         Soon, Soarin stopped groaning. He then headed to the bathroom to get ready to start his first week of a vacation. Doing all the shows was exhausting, even traveling place to place. He remembered, always, he was the last one to go to the mess hall. It happened all the time. He would just wake up late for no reason, why, because he never sleeps well. That's what makes Soarin lazy. He then noticed that his mane was messy again. " Oh come on, why is mane always sticking up like a porcupine's quill", he said harshly.

       "Hahahaha!!! porcupine boy", Lightning Streak laughed from the doorway.

"Lightning it's not funny. Just because my mane sticks up and is always messy, doesn't mean that it's laughing time".

       "Soarin, I was laughing at you because your mane is always funny when it sticks up".

"Yeah porcupine boy, see you in the mess hall", he said waving hoof and still giggling like a 2 year old foal.

         After handling a hilarious situatiion, he headed to the mess hall for a morning breakfast. He thought about having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast. Also, he even thought about spending time with his marefriend, Rainbow Dash today.  Then he headed towards the opened doors of the mess hall.

"Wonder what's on the menu today".

"There you are Soarin, you're the one who's always last to the mess hall, dope", Spit said in high authority voice.

"At least someone here is so high rank".

"Enough you two, just let my brother get some breakfast, okay", said Wave Chill.

"Fine Wavy, you win".

"Quit calling me Wavy. No pony should call me by my pet name, am I clear".

Soarin just ignored Spitfire and his brother Wave Chill. His brother always liked to bicker with Spitfire every morning. He always thought that those 2 would just act like foals instead, aside from being growned up.

Soarin then came to the table and sat down. "You two act like foals rather then adults". He ate his food while Soarin and Spitfire and Wave Chill continued bickering.

"Better get going then". He gave the dishes to the caters and headed out the door to Ponyville.
