CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

It's been a long day. Working at the hospital's taken it out of you. Deciding against being distracted, you walk towards home. It's an even longer walk home as you've already been on your hooves for hours and hours today. The only thing getting you through the last leg of your journey is a determination to get into your bed.

You pause, spotting some mail in your mailbox. With a hopeful little smile, you stop in front of it and lift the mail in your magic for a peek. One, two, three letters! They're from friends back home. At least the first two. You grin with delight and trot into your home.

You drop the letters onto your table and gather some snacks to enjoy with them. With those safely nearby, you use your magic to slice through the top of the first envelope. They wish you well and gush about how things are going with them even as they prod into how your life's going. "Aw, I should write back." You're already jotting out that reply even as you say it.

It takes a while, but you manage to craft a lovely letter telling them all about what you've been up to. Your life has been busy since you came to Ponyville, but it's good to hear from home.

The second is from your mom, asking is you've found that special somepony yet. That gets you laughing. She knows full well how unlikely that would be, given that she was the one who sent you away for exactly that reason. You let her know that you're still waiting for a miracle of love.

That left you with one letter. You slice it open with a sweep of your hoof and a twinkle of magic. It seems somepony who had been in the hospital went and bought you a day at the spa! "How lovely!" Being a hospital staff was often thankless work, but you appreciate even a little attention like this. "Maybe I'll take Redheart with me."

You shake your head, staring at the page. There's a brief note from the pony thanking you for your assistance, but it's scribbled off to the side. They didn't include their name. "Shy, or they just don't want credit." You flop from the chair with a yawn. "Either way, bed time."

You curl up with a smile. This was a satisfying day in Ponyville.

The End.
