Our Journey

Tuesday morning. I wake up to the scent of freshly baked bread and the light of Her sun shining upon my face through the open window next to my bed. I feel the soft warm summer breeze coming in. I sit up and now the view outside through my window is clear. Fillies, colts, and human children play in the grassy field, their protective mothers close by. I smile, and inhale that scent again. I chuckle lightly to myself, for now I crave that bread I smell. I get up, and start the day with a warm shower. Even in the summer, I still very much prefer a nice warm shower. Its soothing to me.

White shirt, jean shorts, I'm sure to comb back my short brown hair, then I put on my white ankle high socks, and finally my tennis shoes. I close and lock my bedroom window, grab my wallet and house key, and I'm out the door. The sun strikes my eyes again, but I don't mind. They adjust, and I make my way to the source of the scent. I walk to Sugar Cube Corner, greeting the friendly people and ponies that I pass by. I open the doors, and there she stands, already expecting me. "Good morning, Sven!", she cries out cheerfully as she skips towards me clutching a plate that held a fresh loaf of bread. She sets it on a table nearby and closes in, wrapping her arms around me and I do the same back. " Heh-heh, good morning, Pinkie", I say to her, and she breaks away, picking up the plate and holding it out in front of me. "Your favorite Sven! Fresh wheat bread", she gleefully says, and I take a peace, eat it, and savor the trillion layers of flavor that Pinkie can bake into a single loaf of wheat bread. "Sweet Celestia", I say to her, "please tell me this is going on the picnic with us". She nods and I smile.

I help Pinkie Pack our basket for the picnic. From what I remember, I believe that Twilight Sparkle and Spike are going to help Applejack pack a basket of apples and other fruits. Rarity and Fluttershy were providing a large blanket for us to sit on. Rainbow Dash is bringing drinks from Cloudsdale. I've never had a Cloudsdale exclusive drink. Lost in my thoughts, I did not realize that Pinkie had already finished packing the bread and cupcakes on her own. "Oh, sorry Pinkie, I didn't realize you were done" She doesn't even mind. She looks up at me and smiles, "Its okay, you can carry it there".

We walk out of Sugar Cube Corner, and make our way to the fields, the beautiful green fields at the north of Ponyville. Out into the grass now, and I see that familiar spectrum streak in the sky. It nears and waves towards it, breaking into a light run in that general direction. The spectrum bolt slows and lands upon the grass, revealing a cyan mare who's mane and tail mimic the rainbows in the sky. "Dashie!!", Pinkie shouts as she hugs her friend tightly. "Hey, Pinks", Dash says calmly. She turns to me, "Sup, Sven". I smile and wave my hand lightly to greet her. "Fluttershy and Rarity, already have a spot set up down by the river, north of here", she says, "You guys go head and start walking, I'm gonna go find the others".

She soars into the wild blue, And our feet guide us along the soft green.
