Spike and the mail quest
Another mail
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next day comes, this time is cloudy and gray, rain pouring like a furious waterfall, thunder that could scare the most vicious of beasts, lightning that threatened to strike at any fool who dared to walk outside, and at the center of all was Derpy, looking with both eyes at the castle in front of her, with a very serious expression. Meanwhile our hero of the story is taking a relaxing shower at his room. Pink bubbles float around accompanied by the sweet smell of strawberry lavender, a gentle humming like that of a diva is sung by Spike, such beautiful melodies fill the room, truly a soothing sound. Suddenly wham!
A furious bundle of gray feathers and fan fantasies crash through the bathroom window onto the floor, she rolls to the wall and like nothing happened gets on her fours (phrasing) and with the most serious tone says: Youuuuu!
Dumbfounded by the situation Spike, still in his tub, points his fingers to his chest as in asking if he was the person Derpy was looking for. She nods affirmative and proceeds to tell the story of her current presence:
Long ago, about two weeks before this very day, a corrupt and greedy group of gryphons bought the mail station for 20 ponybits, such a low price was the result of the owner being a very senile pony who need the cash for the annual lottery, luckily he got the winning ticket and is now spending his days in a paradise island with a lot of beautiful mares, playing volleyball that is. Regardless I was fired by the gryphons due to my lack of effectiveness in my job, also I called the boss fat and ugly, which he totally was, but that didn’t matter because I was favorite pony in that station, so my others co-workers still gave me assignments to do and paid me like the usually did, in time my gryphons lords noticed my precense but because my absence caused morale to go down they just turned a blind eye. Eventually the boss forgave me and we are now official facebook friends!
And? – Said Spike waiting for the conclusion of that story
That’s it- Replied Derpy in a nonchalant tone
So let get this straight, you broke my window bathroom, trashed the floor, almost destroyed the wall and ruined my bathroom time just to tell me that- Said Spike a little bit annoyed
Yeap, oh wait, I almost forgot, this if for you- Replied Derpy, who then proceed to give Spike a small letter.
The gray pegasus proceed to exit the bathroom, leaving Spike with a mess of a bathroom and an innocuous letter at his hand, a normal day for the dragon. Spike then got out of his tub, took the towel, dried his hands and opened the envelope to read the letter:
Dear Mr. Spike we inform you that the scrolls that you had send to the Ponyville station are currently stuck in Hay town, a village that finds itself in the middle of a very bloody civil war, given those unexpected conditions we are unable to deliver your mail to Canterlot until said war is over.
With most regards
Ugly Fat Gryph
