The Golden Garden is wilting?

Celestia got many looks from local Canterlot residents as she flew over the city to Golden's house, which was just on the outskirts of Canterlot. Golden's garden was called the Golden Garden, as it was probably the best-looking garden in Equestria.

Celestia finally spotted Golden Peach's house, which was a typical Canterlot house, only it was painted with flowers and fruits on it, and the top floor had fruit baskets painted on it everywhere.

Celestia landed right in front of Golden's door. She knocked on the door.

Rustling. Yelping. A thud. Finally, the door opened. Golden Peach was a beautiful Unicorn with a yellow coat, a multi-colored yellow and orange mane, and her Cutie Mark was a peach titled to the left, toward her body, an apple titled toward her tail, whom was in a bun, and a large-looking peach behind the apple and pear. Today, she was wearing an orange dress the ended right before her hindquarters.

" Princess Celestia! You're here! Thank goodness. Come in, come in!" Golden Peach had a few scrapes, and she looked flustered.

Celestia walked in and looked around Golden's house. There was a stairway leading upstairs if you looked to your left halfway in, and her living room was what you entered in. The living room had a long couch, and peach-shaped and colored bean bag, and a small table in front of the couch, which was facing a window looking out to her front yard, with a bookcase next to the window. A few of the books were gone, since Golden sometimes sent Celestia her books about gardening and fruits. The living room lead to the kitchen, which had a table in the middle, and had cooking supplies behind it. Next to the table, to the right, there was a door leading to her backyard. I you looked to the left as you entered Golden's kitchen, there was a hallway that had 5 doors on it: to the left, there was a door for the guest bathroom, which was at the back, and next to it, the guest bedroom. On the right side, there were three doors: at the very back, there was Golden's bathroom, next to it, there as her bedroom, and next to that one, was the door to Golden's closet, since, unlike most ponies, she wore something everyday, unless she was sick.

Golden handed Celestia a peach tart with her magic. Celestia took the tart in her own magic.

" Princess, as I said in the letter, something is wrong with my garden..." Golden said as she opened the door to her backyard. There was a patio with a railing, with two open entrances, the right one leading to a huge garden, with four poles holding up a thin blue cloth over the garden. The left one lead to the rest of Golden's huge backyard.

Celestia and Golden walked toward her garden.

Golden's garden was wilted, which wasn't normal. Celestia was horrified at the sight of Golden's formerly beautiful garden so... wilted.

" Celestia, could you fix it?" Golden said just as it started raining out of nowhere. " What in the name of the sun?" Celestia said. Water slightly leaked through Golden's covering over her garden, like she planned for it to do. Celestia set down her half-eaten tart on a table in the middle of the patio.

" I can try, Golden. I'm not that good with-" Celestia stopped short as the rainclouds went away suddenly. " -garden magic..."

" Yeah, this happens three times every week. Random weather starts suddenly, and goes away as quick as it came." Golden explained. " Weird. I'll talk to the Head of the Weather Ponies. " Celestia assured Golden as her horn began to glow yellow.

Golden sat on a chair next to the right entrance and watched as Celestia repaired her garden.

Celestia looked up as she finished repairing Golden's garden. Sweat beaded Celestia's forehead. " Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much, Princess Celestia! Please, stay in my bedroom overnight! I don't want you to have to fly all the way back to your castle, Princess."

" If you say so, Golden. But are you sure you wouldn't like for me to sleep in the guest bedroom so you can enjoy your own bed?" " No Celestia, my bed is much larger than the guest bed. You are a Alicorn, thus you are much larger than a normal pony. I insist you sleep in my bed." " Alright, then, Golden. " Celestia said as she walked inside so Celestia could set the sun.
