Mare in the sun
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen they arrived and entered the town hall, Sunset Shimmer and Garble liked the style the town hall got. Sunset couldn’t deny that it went well with the style of the Celebration and the princess. They saw a light blue-haired unicorn mare making a dark blue bow. Garble couldn’t deny that she was beautiful. Sunset Shimmer approached the unicorn, “hello, good afternoon”
The unicorn looked at Sunset Shimmer, “Hi. Good afternoon. Who are you?”
“Sunset Shimmer”, replied Sunset Shimmer, still smiling.
The unicorn smiled, “oh. The princess’s student? Delighted. My name is Sunny Flare”
Sunset Shimmer realized that the unicorn’s initial name was the same name as the coffee shop Sugarcoat worked for, “I know there is a coffee shop here in Ponyville. Is she yours?”
“Yes. Have you ever visited the store?” asked Sunny Flare.
“Yes. And who answered me was Sugarcoat”, replied Sunset Shimmer.
“Sugarcoat helps me in the store. Her family works there too”, said Sunny Flare.
Sunset Shimmer stepped back, “As much as I want to keep talking to you, I need to go check on the other preparations”
“Fine, darling. See you at the Celebration”, said Sunny Flare.
When Sunset Shimmer and Garble left City Hall, Sunset Shimmer asked, “What’s the next item, Garble?”
Garble glanced at the list, “drinks”
“OK. Where are there drinks here? ”asked Sunset Shimmer. She was already beginning to imagine that this would be the hardest item to check. Because she didn’t even know where to sell drinks in Ponyville.
Suddenly, a mare with light green hair and a pink headset appeared, “Did anypony say drink?” The mare grabbed Sunset Shimmer by the hooves and led her to a lemonade shop.
Sunset Shimmer and Garble’s pupils spun before they returned to normal. The mare went to the table she set Sunset Shimmer and Garble, “My name is Lemon Zest. And I work at this lemonade shop”
Sunset Shimmer smiled, “oh. So are you in charge of the drinks for the Winter Moon Celebration?”
“Yes. Oh. What’s your name?” said Lemos Zest.
“Sunset Shimmer”, replied Sunset Shimmer.
Lemon brightened, “oh. The princess’s student! I’ll bring the lemonade I made for you to taste”
Sunset Shimmer was confused, “Why are you bringing lemonade for me to taste?”
Lemon Zest smiled, “simple. As a student of the princess, you should try to see if the lemonade is good for the celebration”
Sunset Shimmer smiled, “it’s a good point”
Lemon Zest went into the kitchen to get the lemonade. Garble looked at Sunset Shimmer, “Sunset, have you ever had drink lemonade?”
Sunset Shimmer looked at Garble, “No, Garble. This will be my first time I will drink lemonade. I just hope if I don’t like it, Lemon doesn’t think lemonade isn’t good for the Celebration”
“Don’t worry, Sunset. I’m sure Lemon Zest lemonade should be good”, Garble tried to calm Sunset Shimmer.
“Thank you, Garble. Did I tell you that you’re my favorite dragon?” said Sunset Shimmer.
Garble smiled with pride, “yes. A lot of times”
Lemon Zest opened the kitchen door and headed toward where Sunset Shimmer and Garble were. On her head was a plate with a pitcher of lemonade and two glasses of lemonade and she put it on the table, “Here’s the lemonade. Hope you like it”
Sunset Shimmer took the glass of lemonade and drank. And to her surprise, the lemonade was good, “the lemonade is good”
Lemon Zest still smiling said, “thank you, Sunset”
After Sunset Shimmer had finished drinking, Lemon Zest said, “Want more?”
“Sorry. But I still have to check one more preparation for the Celebration”, said Sunset Shimmer. Her ears were down.
“Well, are you going to be at the celebration?” asked Lemon Zest.
“Of course I will be. I’m Luna’s most loyal student”, said Sunset Shimmer proudly.
“Well, at the celebration, are you going to want to drink more lemonade?” asked Lemon Zest.
Sunset Shimmer smiled, “Of course, Lemon Zest”, she stood up. Garble climbed on the back of Sunset Shimmer. And they left the lemonade store.
“What’s the next item, Garble?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
“Music. It’s the last”, answered Garble, looking in the list.
Suddenly they heard the sound of birds singing. Sunset Shimmer and Garble went to a bush and saw a yellow-haired pegasus mare with pink mane with pink and green stripes. They went to the mare, “hi!”
The mare startled and looked down, “Oh. I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to scare your birds. It was so beautiful”
The mare smiled, “thank you… for disturbing me! I was here over an hour making these birds sing. And you come and disturb me. Who are you?”
Sunset Shimmer was surprised. But soon recovered, “my name is Sunset Shimmer. And I came here to check the music”
The mare looked surprised, “Oh. Princess Luna’s student. I’m sorry. I thought you were another any mare wanting to disturb me ”
“You could show me how it went. That’s if it’s all right with you”, said Sunset Shimmer.
“Yes, I’ll try”, she turned her back, and made a movement with her hull like a conductor’s wand. The birds began to sing. Sunset Shimmer couldn’t deny that he was beautiful.
When it was over, Sunset Shimmer clapped with her hooves, “It’s very good. Sorry, but what’s your name?”
“Sour Sweet”, replied Sour Sweet.
“Do you work with animals?” wanted to know Sunset Shimmer.
“Me? Work with animals? You’re crazy, right? Of course not”, replied Sour Sweet, now angry.
“So what do you work on?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
“I make jewelry,” replied Sour Sweet. “At least that’s a lot easier to take care of these filthy animals!”
“Good. I am going. Feel free to continue practicing bird singing if you want”, said Sunset Shimmer.
“Of course I will train… Because if I don’t do the birds they won’t sing and I will be ashamed”, said Sour Sweet.
“Well, bye. See you at the Celebration”, said Sunset Shimmer, before leaving.
Garble looked at Sunset Shimmer, “So where are we going now?”
“Well, we’ve done everything the princess has asked for. Now let’s have something to eat. Because I am hungry. And I think you’re hungry too”, said Sunset Shimmer.
Before long they arrived at the Ponyville restaurant. There were some ponies eating and others were choosing what to eat. They sat down and chose what to eat. Sunset Shimmer and Garble took the menu to choose what to eat, “Have you chosen, ma’am?”
Sunset looked at the waiter, “yes. I would like a daffodil sandwich with daisies”
Garble looked up from the menu, “Do you have rubies?”
The waiter looked at Garble with an not funny face, “no?” asked Garble.
Garble threw the menu away, “ok. I will want fried hay. Very crispy”
The waiter went out to talk to the cook. Sunset Shimmer looked at Garble, “Garble, I’m worried”
Garble looked at Sunset Shimmer confusedly, “With what?”
“I’m worried that Daybreaker will return during the Celebration”, replied Sunset Shimmer.
“But why do you think that?” asked Garble.
“Garble, think about it. Daybreaker will return on the longest night of the thousandth year. And today is the celebration of the thousandth year!” replied Sunset Shimmer. “What if Daybreaker kidnaps the princess during the Celebration?”
“Wow. You don’t know how to be positive in situations, right?” said Garble.
“And how am I going to think positive when an evil will bring eternal day, Garble?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
The cook brought both foods, “here are your orders”, the waiter handed the sandwich to Sunset Shimmer and Garble, the fried hay.
“Thanks. It looks so tasty. I’m sure when I’m eating, I’ll forget about Daybreaker for a moment”, Sunset Shimmer picked up the sandwich with her magic.
But before Sunset Shimmer could eat, she felt a strong wind in her mane. Lucky she was holding the sandwich with her magic, “what was that?”
Indigo Zap landed on the floor, “Hi, my best friend I just met. What are you doing?”
“I’m eating. What are you doing here?” replied Sunset Shimmer before starting to eat.
“Don’t you remember? You said after you finished checking the preparations you would eat and I wanted to keep you company”, said Indigo Zap.
“So, will you just watch me eat or will you eat something too?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
“I’ll be watching you. But if I get hungry, I’ll order something”, answered Indigo Zap.
Sunset Shimmer didn’t answer, just went back to eating. Garble did the same. Indigo Zap watched them eat. When they had finished eating, Sunset Shimmer and Garble stood up, “where are you going?”
“I am going to the Golden Oka’s Tree Library”, said Sunset Shimmer. Garble climbed on the back of Sunset Shimmer.
“Will you stay there?” asked Indigo Zap.
“Yes. But only for the celebration. When the celebration is over, Garble and Me will return to Canterlot”, replied Sunset Shimmer.
Indigo Zap looked sad at this news, “but why?”
“Because I am a student of the princess. And when the celebration is over, I will have to return to continue my studies at Canterlot”, replied Sunset Shimmer.
Indigo Zap looked surprised. She didn’t know that Sunset Shimmer was a student of Luna, “I didn’t know that you’re a student of Princess Luna”
“Of course I am a student of the princess. Why do you think she sent me to check on preparations for the Celebration?” said Sunset Shimmer.
“I thought you were a normal Unicorn from Canterlot”, replied Indigo Zap.
Sunset Shimmer rolled her eyes, “look. I’m the princess’s best student and it’s good for you to know that i’m the best unicorn and princess luna’s student. I am not a common unicorn like these others. I am going”
