Super Speedy Workers' Cleaning

I quickly got to work as it took awhile for Cloudchaser's nose to heal. It was hard lifting all the decor back to where I remember it especially with books, dishes, containers and other jazz on the floor. But once Cloudchaser's nose finally did heal, Cloudchaser got right to helping me clean up.

The first thing we did, i obviously had the higher contribution on that part, was to set putting the picture frames back up on the wall. Well, it was good to have a similar setup to what I was used to back when I lived here. Most of what that was was me flying to hang up the frames while Cloudchaser, near the end, showed me her ideas of where she'd put a couples of the pictures as opposed to what they were when I lived here.

The second we did was putting up the bookshelves. Most of it was easy to navigate for the both of us. It was easy for me because from the way it looked like the bookshelves fell, it was exactly where I had remembered the bookshelves being. It was easy for Cloudchaser because of the logic that the bookshelves had fallen away from the wall and that all that was on it had their own contribution to this mess we were cleaning up.

The third was all the small stuff before we could place the lamps back where they were when I lived here. Most of it was bathroom items, clothes, quills, pencils, pens, books, dishes and vinyl cases. The other half was putting all the tissues in the trash. Of all the places that chose from to pick them up, I chose my wing. It was the most sanitary yet stickiest way to put them in the trash.

Lastly, the lamps. We had a hoof of a time preparing for this but it paid off because everything else was out of the way.


We wiped our foreheads in unison before looking at Jostle Jinx. "That was one big project." He looked at me and nodded.

"Yeah. And now, we don't have anything else to do. And it's almost midnight. I told you we'd get it done by tonight."

"So, I really hope you enjoy your apartment in the future. I'm actually supposed to return to Ponyville straight after my work in Manehatten is done. One thing I won't forget about Manehatten is you." I put my wing over his back.

The rest of the night was trying to get to sleep. But my stomach was growling so loudly I couldn't get to sleep. Even Jostle Jinx heard it from across the room because, as usual, he woke up from a nightmare thinking he was in the path of the running of the leaves again. Even so, we both decided to get a midnight snack to level out the hunger.
