The Life of SpitFire

Slowing down for a casual land, my hooves touched the ground in a trot to make for a smooth landing. Sliding off my goggles as I walked into one of the Ponyville restaurants and taking a seat outside in the lovely sunshine. As I waited for my waiter I watched the world go by before me. Ponyville was such a beautiful, laid back sort of place. It was a nice, relaxing break from the rest of Equestria. I studied the happy ponies going about their daily to dos. Earth ponies happily enjoying the day, waltzing along the dirt road glancing at the little stands in the market, and a grey Pegasus flying overhead, delivering the mail, flying a little less gracefully than normal flying ponies.
It wasn’t till after my lunch did I notice the fluffy earth pony inspecting me from afar. It was like her big blue eyes were staring into my soul. Suddenly, just like that she was in my face. I don’t even know if it was pony possible how fast she moved.
“HI!” she squealed eagerly, hopping up and down. “What’s your name? I’m Pinkie Pie”
I giggled at her energy.
“I’m Spitfire” I replied
Pinkie Pie gasped so deeply that it would seem overly enthusiastic to some, but somehow she made it look almost natural.
“The SpitFire?! From the Wonderbolts?!” The pony exclaimed excitedly.
“Shhh” I hushed her, blushing a little. “Yeah.. That’s me, but keep your voice down”
“Ohhh that’s so cool! My friend RainbowDash is dreaming of being a wonderbolt, she’s the best flyer in the world!” The pink filly gushed.
“You know RainbowDash?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow. “Do you know where she is? I was going to complement her on her amazing job on the weather clearing.” The pony thought for a moment.
“Oh wow, a comment from another real live living breathing wonderbolt! I would go find her, but she’s actually hanging out with a different Wonderbolt right now. HE wanted to talk to her about her cloud kicking TOO. Isn’t that neat?”
“Oh!” I blushed at the thought of Soarin and his gentle and kind ways. “I didn’t know Soarin was in Ponyville, I better pay him a visit after fixing my uniform tomorrow”
The pink pony squealed and grabbed my hoof,
“I know just the place!”
I bounced along the dirt and grass alongside my new pink friend. It was nice having someone without wings to talk to. Being around all Pegasus all the time, most small talk was about flying or tricks. Don’t get me wrong, air entertaining is my thing, but it’s nice to mix things up a bit. Pinky had brought me to her friend Rarity’s clothing shop. It was a large, elegant building, and Rarity seemed simply over joyed to help me.
“Meet you back here tomorrow” Waved rarity and pinkie as I placed back on my goggles. I had some business to attend to in CloudsDale. Checking up on the clouds machine water supply was part of my job. But as I flew away I could hear Rarity gushing about how good having a famous person in her shop be good for her business. I blushed again as I flew through the single cloud blocking my route.
