Miracles happen every day and occasionally we are allowed to notice; Welcome to Pony Vale.

Readers tonight is a tremendous night I am at the radio station now but will be heading out to Pony Vale Park to watch the Sun Rise and I hope all of you have a fantastic night. Younger readers may not have been old enough to stay up all night or understand the importance of today. So we have a special guest coming in the studio, to both talk about the Summer Sun Celebration and to make sure that we have destroyed all of our electronic broadcasting devices. Mares and Gentlecolts, Mayor Mare will be joining us at 6pm.

First up; Big Mac you know? The farmer, has reported that all of the apples have turned into pears. Those of you keeping up on current affairs will know that this is very strange as apple season doesn’t end ever by order of a town vote. I talked to the youngest filly on the farm a Miss Apple Bloom of Pony Vale Primary School who said:

“I don’t like pears! Besides my name is Apple Bloom ot kinda name is Pear Bloom?! I DON’T WANNA BE A PEAR!”

Wise words indeed, and now a word from our sponsor:

“Are you lost in your life? Need direction? Being chased by ponies you can’t see but you know they are there because you can feel them closing in on you from all sides? You find it hard to breathe and as you run faster and faster the exit seems to get further and further away, you reach the door only to realize it leads you back to the start!

Buy a map.

The Pony Vale drama group will be performing their play “Sun Rise, Moon Fall” for Celestia after she has raised the sun, so be sure to watch and support your community.

An update on the pears a blue box has appeared in the middle of the pear orchard. Witnesses informed us that the 2 ponies inside was a strange brown pony wearing a green tie and the mail mare. The strange pony declared the pears were evil; we couldn’t get the pears to comment.

The party in the park appears to be going well despite Twilight standing on a table and shouting “NIGHTMARE MOON WILL RETURN!” which was very disruptive, she was then escorted out by the Mayor’s secret police.

Readers I am proud to announce that Mayor Mare has just arrived at the studio! She is checking that there are no recording devices besides my assistant who will be writing down our conversation.

“Good Night Mayor Mare.”

“Yes it is isn’t it?"

“Younger readers may not know what is so important about Summer Sun Celebration, would you mind explaining it to them?”

“Summer Sun is the longest day in the Equestrian year, it is a time of celebration and Celestia this year is in Pony Vale! We will be first to witness the sun rise which will be seen all over Equestria!”

“How did this celebration start?”

“Well since Luna went on vacation Celestia has to raise both the moon and the sun until she comes back. We used to sacrifice a foal from a randomly selected town but as we know, that was stopped 4 years ago. Ever since then an appreciation party is thrown in whatever town she chooses to visit we all stay up eat cake and watch the sun rise.”

“Some ponies may not know how they can get involved?”

“Well Sea Salt it is very easy, the city council has created a mandatory art class where fillies from 3-6 make drawings for the Princess the one judged the best gets 500 bits for their family the worst gets banished to Everfree.”

“Sounds like a blast, thank you so much for being here.”

“Pleasure was mine.”

“Now readers I take you to the weather”

The pony with the box has discovered that the apples that have turned into pears are actually apples pretending. Apparently they just wanted to see what would happen, the leader of the apple pear has released a statement stating that they are sorry for the inconvenience and will turn back into apples as soon as the sun rises, which if I am correct should be in 3 minutes.

Readers I have breaking news! Celestia has disappeared! It appears Nightmare Moon has arrived as foretold we are unsure of how the problem will be solved or how this will affect you or your family but I suggest that until we understand the plans for us by Nightmare Moon we welcome our new leader with friendship and blind obedience.

While we sit in the dark pondering what life events have lead us to the darkness we must remember that friends and family can provide all the light we need.

So on this longest night I say to you dear reader.

Good Night Pony Vale, Good Night.
