Ah... a fresh new day filled with fresh opportunities, the smell of fresh pancakes filled my room and made my stomach rumble, "Okay, okay, i wont forget dinner again." I said to my growling midsection.

I trotted downstairs to find my Dad making some pancakes, "hey Fluff Puff, how ya feeling?" he asked

"Hungeryyy" i spread my front legs out in front of myself and walked to his side like a zombie.

He laughed and in a 'scared' tone said "Oh nooo a zombies gonna eat my brains! i hope she lets me eat my delicious pancakes before she rips me apart!"

He flopped some pancakes onto some plates and brought them to the table while I got the silverware, my Mom came downstairs with my little brother in tow.
They copied my zombie like movements with their their arms screamed
"FOOD FOOD!! LET US EAT FOOD WE SAY" which of course made everyone bust up laughing.

After breakfast Mom helped Copper get ready for school as I did the dishes and Dad got ready for work up at Cloudsdale.

"Hey Stormy can you toss me your brother's thermos real quick?" Mom asked me from the table where she was fixing Copper's lunch.

"Sure thing" I replied as I chucked the round blue camouflage cylinder to her,

"Oof, thanks Sweetpea" she said when the thermos hit the bread bag.

While I was finishing the dishes I found an old pan near the bottom of the sink that had some grease on it from one of Dad's 'Masterpieces' and the smell of it made me sick to my stomach.

I quickly ran (more like flew) upstairs to the restroom and puked my guts out, wiped my mouth, and mumbled "what the hay..." then returned downstairs to face the stench again. I had to get a dust mask to help hide the smell, thankfully everyone had left shortly before I found the pan so no one was suspicious.

I finished up the dishes and found my mind wandering to a memory of my now Ex-boyfriend, Antler Dust.

He and i had been dating for about 5 months but we broke up a few weeks ago after i found out he was cheating on me with another filly, but I didn't really miss him much, I was thinking of splitting things off anyways.

When I was done with the dishes I went to Sugercube corner for a light snack, I seriously needed some cookies right now and besides Pinkie's jokes always make me laugh.

When I got there Pinkie Pie had her party cannon out and was blasting decorations everywhere for what seemed like some sort of announcement, "Hey Pinkie Pie, are the Cakes home?" I asked as the pink mare straightened a wonky duck shaped cookie tray.

"Nope! they're getting something for their party tomorrow! i don't know why though, I practically have every shape balloon ever made! Unless of course there was a balloon shaped like Princess Luna or Mayor Mare then i'd be outta luck but hey, why would the Cakes need one of those for a baby announcement?" she chuckled and pointed her cannon behind me.

"a baby announcement??" I asked as I ducked her shot.

"oh whoopsies! I wasn't supposed to spill those beans! Hey! You seem like a pretty good bean keeper can you help me keep my beans by not spilling the already spilt beans in the can so they wont spill farther?" I shook my head in confusion,

"Uhh s-sure i wont spill the canned beans- I mean the bean can.”

"Ok great thanks! By the way, what did you come here for, certainly not just to get some beans from my bean can right?"
she asked.

"Oh, um no, Can i get a dozen sugar cookies please?" she chuckled again.

"Okie dokie Loki!" she handed me a box of cookies. "five bits please!"

I handed her the amount and went home.

On my way home I stopped at the library and returned a book K had borrowed, while I was there I went ahead and got the next one in the series, 'Daring Do and the Legend of the Ruby Falcon.' it was the third book in the series and I was hooked.

When I got home I grabbed myself a big glass of milk, a plate of cookies, and the book I borrowed, "Okay Daring, lets see who you face this time!"

Just as I finished my third cookie I heard a knock on the door, I peaked through the window to see my good friend, Daisy Rose, waiting impatiently outside with a basket of flowers while struggling to keep her silky white mane out of her face, she didn’t look like she was in a very good mood either.

I opened the door "Well who pulled your feathers, Daisy?"

As she stepped into the house she sighed, "You wont believe who had the nerve of asking me for flowers!"

She stormed in and flopped on the couch "Let me guess, Antler Dust?"

Daisy nodded. "he's such a jerk"

I rolled my eyes, "where they for his 'snookie?'" I asked.

"UGH YES IT MADE ME SICK! WHY DIDN'T HE JUST GO TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS A SHOP AND SELLS FLOWERS INSTEAD OF SOMEONE WHO JUST GROWS THEM?!?"

I sighed. “Maybe because he doesn't want to wait in line?"

she grumbled "Maybe...",

I decided to change the subject "what are those flowers for?"

She smiled "I’m glad you asked, these where hoofpicked, by yours truly, as a congratulations for you!" She shoved the basket my way.

"Congratulations for what exactly?" She smiled again.

"for a solid month after dumping the stink brain of course! here take a whiff!" She shoved the flowers to my nose which only made me feel nauseous again and apparently turned me a shade green.

"Whoa you okay?" Daisy set the basket down and put a hoof around my neck,

"Y-yeah, just a been a bit barfy today" i said as i swallowed some bile.

"Oh uh, okay.” she looked at me, a worried glint in her eyes.

"i'm fine i'm probably just coming down with something…”

She gave me a sideways glance, "or the... 'incident' with Dust brain might've... made a consequence?"

I glared at her "I doubt it, besides nausea can be from lots of things not just... that"

I smirked, changing the subject yet again, "have you read Ruby Falcon yet?"

Daisy’s eyes went wide. “Oh my gosh, you have it?!? i thought Twilight's only copy was out on loan?!"

I laughed, "Nope! it just got returned last night! Hah!, And you said daily checks wouldn't help…"

Daisy Rose pouted "No fair, you gotta let me read too."

I snickered "Oh alright, we'll read it together."
