CYOA: A Day in Ponyville
24
Previous ChapterNext ChapterYou pump a hoof in the air. "Glad to help!" You share a high-hoof with Spike before landing. "Need any help getting rid of that?" You gesture to the tiara floating in Twilight's magic.
She raises a brow at you. "Actually, I was wondering if you could take it to the lake and get rid of it. I would prefer it not be in the library where somepony could just put it on."
Spike grins. "I've seen enough bad stuff from them, but I don't want to remember this tiara either."
You accept the tiara with some confusion. "I thought you wanted to melt it?"
"Tempting." Twilight turns away. "But it's not my magic. It may react oddly to my trying. Just toss it in and forget about it."
The day is not too warm or cold as you wander away. You can't help but admire the skyline as you walk down the streets of Ponyville. The air is still, even as a gentle breeze rustles your mane. It is a fine day to visit the lake! Which is exactly what you plan to do. You approach the lake, relieved that there weren't any more lightning clouds. With a hop, you go for a short swim before tossing the tiara into the water.
As it sinks beneath the surface, a sudden surge of movement rushes up through it. A great river drake curls to look at you, the tiara tiny upon its head. It has bright purple scales and black eyes. Most peculiar of all are its legs. It does not have legs, rather just the tail. It does have arms, and expressive hands. "Well, thank you for the gift! I'd show you more, but we're playing hide and seek with Discord."
"Oh," you say as it dives back beneath the surface. "Bye, I guess."
Ponyville has had far worse days than that one.
You feel like you touched all aspects of an interesting day in Ponyville.
