"good morning Ponyville"

It was a normal day in Equestria, that quickly became a normal afternoon before Comic Strip woke up, the mattres beneath him creaked and bounced as he rolled over and just barely opened his eyes, his bright green mane obstructing his vision, until he brushed it to one side with his right hoove. He was startled to find a purple, female pony attempting to creep out of his bedroom. Comic Strips mouth worked faster. than his brain, some would attribute this to his consistent use, and prolonged exposure to mind altering drugs, like poison joke and Pinkie Pies own triple strength cupcakes, but, the truth was, Comic Strip was always a slow thinker and a fast talker, it was one of the things people loved about him. Comic strip called out to the familiar pony without a single thought "BERRY!"

Her body stiffened in suprise, she lowered her head in frustration and sighed "Hi, Strip" Her voice sounded irritated "Look, it's been fun, really, you're a great friend, but that's it, I'm sorry but..." Berry couldn't finish her sentence.

This wasn't the first awkward morning after break-up Comic Strip had endured, he know the procedure "It's fine, we had fun, we really did, but we both knew it wouldn't last."

Berry Punch smiled and replied with a much more upbeat "You're right, it was fun. OH, I almost forgot, Vinyl's throwing a party at her place later, will I see you there?"

Comic Strip thought briefly, Vinyl Scratch is Equestrias most famous DJ, ponies like her are the reason that the rural town of Ponyville got so much attention from the elite of Canterlot and Manehattan, and her parties reflected this fact, ponies came from all over to attend vinyls concerts, but anyone who attends these concerts would know it's less about the music and more about copious amounts of alcohol and making a fool of yourself, and Comic Strip loved to make a complete fool of himself. He replied with a sly smirk "definitley"

Berry Punch smiled and trotted out of Comic strips house after saying her goodbye "well, I'll see ya then." Comic Strip stared at Berry's flank as it moved up and down, putting him in a trance. When Comic Strip heard the door shut, he knew he was finally alone.

He contemplated what to do and thought to himself "what now? the party isn't for another nine hours and I'm bored."He considered his options: rent a book from the libary? Get some brunch from sugarcube corner?Comic Strip slumped in his bed and let out a sigh, followed by a solitary curse "BUCK."

With nothing else to pass the time Comic Strip decided he'd do some actuall work, he sat at his drawing board and began brainstormig ideas for his comic strip. Comic Strip is Ponyvilles resident comic writer and artist, he made 50 bits for each comic strip he sold to the Ponyville gazzette, although the comics in the paper were published under an alias, Comic Strip was a celebrity in the underground comic scene with his self published, long running dark comedy series "parasprites and happines". Comic Strip stared at his drawing board, jotting down, and then scribbling out half developed ideas. He grew frustrated at his lack of inspiration, creative constipation, he called it.

He was unphased to see the mail crash through his window. Comic Strip slowly trotted over to the grey and yellow mail mare "Hey Derpy, what's cracking?" Derpy Hooves fluttered her wings in excitement as she came to her hooves and began to yell out "I'm great, I was just delivering the mail, y'know the Cakes got a new cradle, did you know they're pregnant? Well, just ms. Cake, not mr. Cake, boys can't get pregnant, that's silly, y'know what else is silly? Pinkie Pie got a new prank set, she's such a silly pony, y'know who else is a silly pony? Applejack, she just got a big-"

"DERPY" Comic Strip swiftly interrupted "why are you here?"

Derpy handed Comic Strip a letter and replied "Just this, well, it's been fun, but I gotta go, see ya Strip!" Derpy zoomed out the window bringing with her Comic Strips blanket and the Equestria flag on his wall. Comic Strip examined the letter Derpy had left in his hoof, it was just the kind of letter he was hoping to see on this kind of day, it read:

Got joke, bring bits-bong hit.

"Short and sweet", Comic Strip thought to himself. He placed his latest, unopened paycheck in his saddle bag before placing the bag on his back. He looked through the gaping hole where his window once was, he looked over everything, the train station, sweet apple acres, the libary, sugarcube corner, Cloudsdale and Canterlot in the distance and quietly whispered to himself "good morning Ponyville"
