Manehattan

Screams of excitement. Giggles and laughs.

That's how I remembered Lemony Lime. I miss her so much. It's been 5 years since I last saw her. She moved out of Ponyville to Manehattan. We were both crying as we hugged goodbye. I wonder if she still remembers me.

This is what I'm thinking about as I go to sleep. I dream about her. Yellow with a green mane. Neither of us had earned our cutie marks. Of course, now I had. A bee with a ginormous smile. My special talent was talking to bees for their honey. Sounds strange, but is totally useful. I wondered if Lemony had gotten her's yet.

My alarm clock beeped loudly and I woke up with a start. I stumbled out of bed after turning my alarm clock off and then walked sleepily towards the door. When I got to the breakfast table, everyone was already awake and eating. Even Melon, my younger sister who never is up on time. The batteries in my clock are probably dead, because the wall clock says 8:40.

"Good morning, sunshine." My mom, Bronze, greets me, smiling. "Eggs and toast for breakfast." She is acting unusually happy today, especially since I woke up late. I sat down.

"Mom, what's up?" I asked, knowing she had good news and was waiting for me to ask that.

"Well-pause for dramatic effect-we're going to Manehattan!" she exclaims, way too enthusiastically for my liking. Then, I realize why. "Mostly to just see a show, but I thought you might also see your old friend. I barely remember her, you haven't seen her so long. We're staying for 3 days and 2 nights."

"We are?!" Now I am acting way too enthusiastically for my liking. "Seriously?! When?!"

"Tomorrow! The train leaves precisely at 10:00 am. Be ready!"

I was so excited. But then I began to panic. What if she didn't recognize me? What if she doesn't live there anymore? Or worse? I told myself it would all be ok and then finished my breakfast.

I am not a very patient pony. I lay on the grass in the backyard and stare up at the white, puffy clouds in the light blue sky. They each looked like different shapes. One looked like a flower, another one a bunny. I soon got bored of this because they began to just look like smudges of white paint on a blue canvas. Plus, when I'm waiting, I get bored very easily. Luckily, the day is passing very fast. It's already 3:00 pm.

When I get inside, Melon is waiting for me. "Hey, big sis! Wanna play dress up?" She smiled. I agreed because I had nothing else to do. Melon is so cute. When she puts on my old dress, it is way too big for her, and she starts tripping around the room. I help her take it off.

Then I think of something. I'd have to pack since we would be staying for more than one day.

"Sorry, Melon. I gotta go pack. You should, too." I told her. "Oh, and wear something nice tomorrow. This is Manehattan we're talking about!" That and because of the fact that Lemony had never seen my sister. She might not understand how crazy Melon can be, being only 4 and all.

I leave the room and open my closet. There wasn't anything real fancy in there, but I could just wear my yellow spring dress tomorrow, my long green dress the next day, and ask Rarity to make me something special for the last day. I pack my special stuffed cat and my photo album that was used specifically for pics of me and Lemony Lime. I was soon ready to leave for Manehattan in the morning.

I check on Melon, knowing she probably needs help packing her stuff. I see her struggling to close the suitcase that was jam packed with toys, knick knacks, and everything else she didn't need. I sigh and walk over to her.

"Melon, only pack important things! You don't need all this stuff!" I tell her sternly and open the suitcase, taking out the small objects that will get lost and replace them with fancy dresses, her toothbrush, and some other things important when going to Manehattan. "There. Now you're all set." I nod in satisfaction and leave before she can say a word.

My next stop is Rarity's Carousel Boutique. Luckily, she's home and invites me in.

"Rarity, I know you're probably busy, but do you think you could make me a nice dress by tomorrow morning?" I ask nervously. I hope she doesn't have some big order do soon, as well. "It's for Manehattan."

"Of course, darling. Any specific requests?" she asks. I shake my head, no. She smiles. "Well, then be ready for something fabulous to wear to Manehattan." I then return home to get some sleep, since the sun is setting.

The next thing I know, my alarm clock is beeping, loudly as ever. I fall out of bed in surprise then remember that we would be leaving in 30 minutes. Slipping on my yellow dress and clipping a blue barrette into my hair, I take care of my morning routine then go to the kitchen. I'm down there before Melon, because of my amazing memory to change my clock batteries. Mom was scrambling around and getting things ready when she noticed me.

"Are you ready to go, Honey?" she asked, glancing in my direction. "We're leaving soon." I nod. Melon finally arrives dragging her suitcase on the ground.

"Rarity dropped off your dress." she said, setting the heavy thing down. "It's in your bag." I unzip my case and pull out a beautiful purple and pink dress, covered in diamonds and jewels. I gasp at the work of art that I would be wearing in just a few short days. Lemony will be amazed.

"Wow! I love it! Somepony remind me to thank her when we get back!" I put it back in and zip it back up.
