Tables. Tables are so, so... tabley. They should add that to the dictionary, tabley. Tabley: a word used to describe a flat surface meant to hold items. I don't know how I thought of this thought, I just did. I guess it is because I am lifting a table. A very tabley table.

"What are you thinking about now?" Meadow smiles. I turn my head and look at my sister. My expression goes serious. My smile disappears. I open my mouth, my failing to look away, and reply.

"Tables. I am thinking about tables."

After getting the table inside, I think again. I think about the color of the table. That dark brownish color. Like dirt. Very dirty dirt. Or hot chocolate mix. Always great in the Winter. But I am not a Winter pony, because in the Winter, the ground get cold and it takes more energy to use my power. That and there aren't as many worms in the Winter. I like worms. Worms are pink. Not magenta, like Fireglow's mane, but pink like my mare friends little sisters coat. Rosebud's coat is a very light pink. Not as light as bubblegum, but light.

I sip my soup. My very soupy soup. I like the warm soup. Homemade to."Hey Meadow, what type of soup is this?"

"Celery soup." Replied Meadow quickly, as if she knew I would ask that. I have never had celery soup until today, but I urged Meadow to make it after I read about it in one of my novels from long ago. I had hoped the soup tasted as good as the book would say, and I was right. The soup was delicious. It was somewhat tangy, with a bit of sweetness. The perfect balance. I think it goes best with a little salt.

"Can you pass the salt please?" I extend my hoof to meet Meadow's halfway. I sprinkle a dash of salt onto my soup, and stir it around a few times, just to mix in the flavor, then continue eating, more like sipping my soup.

I finish rinsing my bowl clean, and trot outside. The mailmare has just delivered the mail. This time it is a postcard, not a bag of chips and a tomato. I flip the postcard around to reveal a message. From the front, there is a picture of Las Pegasus, so I know where it is from, but who?

"Dear Stone (and Meadow to) greetings from Pegasus! See you in a couple weeks, maybe longer, you never know. Keep being awesome, Storm Chaser."

Ah, Storm Chaser. Fireglow's older brother. An old friend of mine. I have no idea why he left for Pegasus, but then, Storm is a very strange guy.

"What is in the mail this time, cheese puffs?" asked Meadow sarcastically.

"Surprisingly, no. This time we have a postcard from Storm." Meadow gives me a look. She clearly didn't see this coming.

"What is he doing in Pegasus? Gambling most likely."

"Didn't say, but I think he is enjoying his stay. Doesn't want to leave. Probably some mare there caught his eye." That sounds most like Storm. Stay someplace for a few extra weeks, just to try to woo some mare. Never works. I walk inside, and notice a jacket hanging on the staircase. It wasn't mine, and something about the size tells me it definetly wasn't Meadows. "Hey Meadow, who's jacket is this?"

She walks down the staircase, and picks it up. "Oh, there is a new stallion in town, from Horshoe Bay. His name is Wave Rider. He is the head of the resources department at town hall."

"Any reason he caught your eye?" I say with a smirk.

"Actually, yeah. You know how there are supposed to be ponies with the powers of water and air? Well he said he was an expert in water magic, but when I checked with Miss Fiction, she said there is no such thing." I scratch my chin and think for a moment.

"I will check into this later. I say we get Fireglow and start a special mission. Agent Earth, out."

Author's Note

I made a reference to Past Sins in this chapter, with the celery soup. It is probably my all time favorite fic and I recommend you check it out. That is, if you haven't already.By the way, if any of you know someone who works with the dictionary people, could you ask them to add tabley to the dictionary? :3 the postcard from Storm Chaser was an epic reference to my other fic, Lovestruck Las Pegasus. You will just have to read to find out.
The Horseshoe bay idea comes from the tumblr blog ask king sombra. Just giving them credit, I had to tab out quickly and find the name of it. :3
