The Day My Life Began

Cloudsdale Here I Come

Killjoy/Darcy

Mornings. The time when the sun first touches to earth and reveals the stories of the darkness. The time when I usually get arrested or hungover, or both. When Morgan would storm into my room and make me clean whatever mess I had left on the living room couch (usually a dead body, other times it was some leftover spaghetti I ate on the couch).

Today was a fun day. Raspberry had been otherwise incapacitated for the past six days. She had been exhausted when I found her last week, nearly falling asleep multiple times in our conversation. I had rarely seen Raspberry like that. Rarely, being a key word.

There have been times in the four decades I have known her that she has been like this. It's just never been this bad before. I blame those fucking ponies.

Sadly, I had to play the part of caring guardian while my sister was on bedrest. I had to explain to Cheerilee why Raspberry couldn't show up for those days of work. I had to explain to Lilac why her mother wasn't able to be spoken with.

Surprisingly, my job gave me two nights off so I could watch my niece. Those guys were really nice. The sap baths I had to give Lilac...ugh. How do you even get covered in sap while tending to a chicken coop?! The things my niece gets involved in...

Damn. That is still weird to think. I'm the one who gets all the sex, and yet Morgue ends up with a kid?

Side Note: Find a stallion and see if what they say about studs is true.

Strange family dynamics aside, Raspberry had been doing very well with her bedrest. I only heard her get up twice and I'm pretty sure it was just for bathroom breaks. It was weird being the responsible twin. Usually when I have this, I find whoever harmed Morgan enough to leave her incapacitated and slit his throat. Forcing her to lie in bed and sleep is close enough.

Since the unicorn will be like this for another day or two, I'm the one who will have to perform today. Morgue said something about a giant race. She also pointed out that it wasn't like the Running of the Leaves (I totally won that, by the way. Got the blue ribbon to prove it), it would require the participant to use their wings to perform pretty fucking awesome stunts.

Raspberry spent the past day drilling (well, sleeping, but she left me things so I could study) today's plan into my head.

Step 1) I will go the library and find the Cloud-Walking Spell.

Step 2) Raspberry will cast a cloud-walking spell on Lilac.

Step 3) I will take Lilac up to Cloudsdale.

Step 3.5) Buy Raspberry and/or Lilac a fun souvenir.

Step 4) We will go to the coliseum made of clouds.

Step 4.5) I will not participate in the event.

Step 4.5.5) I can get food if Lilac and/or I are hungry.

Step 5) I will take pictures of Rainbow Dash making the Rainboom and the subsequent saving of Rarity (the prissy little snob, for those who didn't know)

Step 6) When things were peaceful, I will take Lilac back to the ground.

Step 7.5) Do not drop Lilac on the way down. Raspberry wants her daughter, not a pancake.

Step 8) Show Razz the pictures and deliver the souvenir.

That was the jist of it anyway. I'm not always good with scheduling.

"Aunt Killjoy!" Lilac shouted.

Crap. I'm late.
