A Burning Tale

After I've been visited by Luna, my sleep became more calm and I woke up well rested in the morning. After hopping out of my bed I took a quick shower before trotting down the stairs and into my kitchen, where I made myself a coffee and some cornflakes. I already heard the newspaper sliding through the mailslit in my door, so I quickly picked it off the soft but stable cloud and began to read it whilst eating my breakfast. I only flew over the pages, picking out the most important stuff. I haven't found anything interesting so I decided to take a closer but relaxing look at what Ponyville had to offer. As I opened my door to leave I noticed a little cardboard box sitting in front of my home. I examined it and noticed the Mails Pony confound the delivery as it was addressed to somepony else. I didn't hesitate to bring the box to the post office where, to my surprise, somepony was already arguing with the head mailmare, A grey furred Pegasi with limited eyesight stood behind the counter hiding behind her boss as the angry customer argued with the Manager of this post office.

I examined the customer and made a note in my memory. Red-pinkish fur, sided mane with a braided strand, bushy tail, decorative daisy headwear, green eyes, a few freckles under the eyes and a very interesting cutiemark.

After a few minutes of listening to the argument, I stepped in. I spoke just loud enough to drown the two voices in silence.

"Silence! Now, would you be so kind and explain what the problem is?"

I alternately looked at the Manager and the customer awaiting an explanation from either of them. The Manager approached me but quickly changed his mind as I stomped at the ground and giving him an evil glare.

"You may explain. But you will not approach me."

He nodded and was obviously surprised of my reaction. It took a bit for him to find his courage to speak again.

"This custom-"

He wasn't getting far with that sentence so I shortly interrupted him with a silent growl.

"SHE probably has a name. And I'd be thankful if you could call HER by that name if that's alright."

The Mare shook her head and apparently couldn't stay quiet anymore as she broke into a long explanation.

"The thing is I recently ordered something on the Internet and it hasn't arrived yet. The page said it has been sen-..."

She didn't came far in explaining either as I stared at her confused trying to find out what a Internet could be.

"...-nd. Great... you don't understand me either. Just know this. I ordered something and it hasn't arrived yet."

I was confused as I never was before. She eventually noticed the cardboard box on my back and pointed at it.

"May I take a look at the receiver of that package?"

I nodded and set it on the ground in front of me. She giggled victorious as she read her name on it out loud.

"Gloriosa Daisy
Legend Drive 1
32414, Ponyville"

She smiled happily and looked over to me with a questioning look on her face.

"Of course Ma'am. Twilights Castle, right?"

I replied as I picked the box back up placing it on my back once again. She nodded and trotted ahead.

"So..."

I began with a friendly smile as I trotted behind her.

"...what is your relation to Princess Twilight?"

I tilted my head a bit and waited for her to answer. She sighed and turned around.

"I... I'm a friend.. yes! A friend of Twilight"

I noticed nervousness in her voice but I rolled with it that she's friendly with Twi. As We arrived at the Crystal Castle she took the cardboard box off my back and quickly ran in. I stayed outside confused and left after a few minutes. I flew back home and read some old box of mine to calm my thoughts and speculations. The day went by quietly and as it got darker I went to bed. But I had the constant feeling something is special about that customer I met in the post office. My thoughts eventually faded as I fell asleep.
