Chapter 8: Magical Music?

The ponies just keep getting odder and odder.

I found out that today is supposed to be the last day of winter, and I don't mean the season naturally changes. What I mean is that these ponies have to manually change the season. I pity all those out in the cold having to deal with this.

But soon, things got even weirder.

I was floating over a gathering of ponies that were getting their assignments from the Mayor, each divided into 3 groups. But it was when the ponies were dismissed to their jobs the oddity happened.

They started to sing, and I don't mean like some humming or little group singing. I mean a full blown musical number.

Rainbow was the first to start.

Rainbow: Three months of winter coolness

And awesome holidays

Pinkie: We've kept our hoovsies warm at home

Time off from work to play

Applejack: But the food we've stored is runnin' out

And we can't grow in this cold

Rarity: And even though I love my boots

This fashion's getting old

Twilight: The time has come to welcome spring

And all things warm and green

But it's also time to say goodbye

It's winter we must clean

How can I help? I'm new, you see

What does everypony do?

How do I fit in without magic?

I haven't got a clue!

Choir: Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Applejack: 'Cause tomorrow spring–

Rainbow: –is here!

Choir: 'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

Rainbow: Bringing home the southern birds

A Pegasus' job begins

And clearing all the gloomy skies

To let the sunshine in

We move the clouds

And we melt the white snow

Rainbow and Pinkie: When the sun comes up

Its warmth and beauty will glow!

Choir: Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Rarity: Little critters hibernate

Under the snow and ice

Fluttershy: We wake up all their sleepy heads

So quietly and nice

Rarity: We help them gather up their food

Fix their homes below

Fluttershy: We welcome back the southern birds

Fluttershy and Rarity: So their families can grow!

Choir: Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

'Cause tomorrow spring is here

'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

Applejack: No easy task to clear the ground

Plant our tiny seeds

With proper care and sunshine

Everyone it feeds

Apples, carrots, celery stalks

Colorful flowers too

We must work so very hard

Applejack, Cherry Berry, and Golden Harvest: It's just so much to do!

Choir: Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!

Pinkie Pie: 'Cause tomorrow spring is here

Choir: 'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

Twilight Sparkle: Now that I know what they all do

I have to find my place

And help with all of my heart

Tough task ahead I face

How will I do without my magic

Help the Earth pony way

I wanna belong so I must

Do my best today,

Do my best today!

Wow, just wow. I don't have the slightest idea how that all worked out, but sounded wonderful. Is this musical thing something normal, or was this pre-planned? And how did they get The Doctor to agree to be apart of this? Too many questions.

After that musical number I decided to find out what the main ponies were doing.

The first one I found was Rainbow, it seems that she is in charge of weather control, so she had to lead other pegasus to either kick away the clouds, or help the bird migrate back.

Why, oh why did she think sending Derpy was a good idea, it is just going to bite her in the flank, mark my words.

I have nothing wrong with Derpy, she is a nice mare from what I have seen, but she is very accidental prone. But I have noticed something weird; I can sometimes see two Derpys running around. Does she have a twin sister?

Enough of that, the next pony I found was Rarity, she was building bird's nest… Were birds really too lazy to make their own, or are the ponies just trying to keep Rarity busy? Knowing how she behaves, she might have just complained too much about how dirty she would get working.

I cannot see Rarity doing much manual labor unless it was towards fashion.

The next pony I stopped to see was Fluttershy, and Twilight was with her. It turns out that Fluttershy and some other ponies had to go wake up the animals from their hibernation. Normally I would have found this too to be odd before I found out why.

I knew I could actually talk to Fluttershy to get some answers, so I did.

"Hello Fluttershy," I said. Fluttershy didn't jump at my sudden voice after this happening every so often.

"Oh, hello Chrome, how are you?" Fluttershy asked. Is it redundant to ask how a dead person how they are?

"I'm doing well, just checking to see what everyone is doing. Hey Flutters, why do you guys have to wake up these animals? Can't they wake up on their own?"

"Oh no, we can't do that. When the pegasus break the clouds, the sun melts the snow, and could flood the poor animals homes." That oddly made sense.

"Do you need any help?" I'm a spirit I could just pop right in.

"No, no, we are doing quite fine, sorry," she said apologizing.

Before I could say anything we heard somepony yelling. We turn find Twilight running from a snake den, then into a bat cave, then a tree to get stung by bees, and then a skunk den. Animals hate Twilight.

After that bit, I went off to find out what Applejack was doing. I floated over her farm and found dozens of ponies plowing the snow off the fields. I also numerous baskets full of seeds for a variety of food crops.

Did they plan on planting these seeds even with the ground so cold? And what of the runoff from the all the snow, it would flood the seeds if planted? These ponies make no sense to me, so I decide to go find the one pony that I can understand.

"Hey Pinkie," I said to the skating pony.

I ended up finding Pinkie skating on one of the local lakes.

"Oh, hi Chromie! What brings you out here?" She asked excitedly

"Just checking up on everyone. What are you doing all the way out here?"

"Oh, I am skating to cut up the ice, so that it melts faster, come join me!" she offered, pointing to a pair of abandoned skates. Might as well, I already checked up on everyone, so I'm free.

I ended up putting on the skates and joined Pinkie. It would be odd to anyone seeing Pinkie skating was another pair going on it's own.

While skating Pinkie asked me a question, "Why do you use only two skates? Wouldn't it be easier if you had one for each leg?" Ah that is right, she thinks I am a pony.

"That is because I only have two legs."

"Why do you have two legs? I thought ponies had 4?"

"That is because I am not a pony, Pinkie." I told her.

"Ooohhh, then what are you?"

"I am a human" When she heard me say that she slipped on the ice.

"A human? You mean one of those monsters from pony tales?" Monster?

"I am human, but what do you mean monster?" Is this why Zecora was afraid of me?

"Yeah, humans are creature that were created during the reign of Discord, they were said to be vicious, mean, and evil. It is said that they chaos is in their very nature. But you don't seem to be that way." Discord? Didn't I read about him in the history books? He was like, the god of chaos.

"Um, as far as I know, I am not a monster. And my kind has never heard of this Discord before. I only learned of that thing recently."

She smiles, "That is good to know, I was worried for a moment that you were some monster that would feast on the flesh of ponies."

"Pinkie two things: One I am a spirit, I don't eat, and secondly, ew." She laughed at that.

We ended up finishing this lake while we were talking so I decided to go find how Twilight was doing, she was rather hopeless when I last saw her. "Bye Pinkie, I have to go check up on Twilight, and see if she hasn't buried the down in snow yet."

"Alright bye Chromie, and don't worry I still haven't forgotten your party!" She said to me while I floated away.

I ended up in Ponyville to find Applejack and Fluttershy arguing about something, the oddities continue.

"Stop," Fluttershy said to Rainbow.

"Go," said Applejack

"Stop."

"GO!"

"STOP!"

Rainbow, having enough of this argument, "Ugh! Make up your minds!"

Then the Mayor shows up, "Oh! What in Equestria are all you arguing about? This sort of silliness is why we were late for spring last year, and the year before that, and the year before that." So it usually this chaotic? I guess Twilight didn't do anything out of the normal around here then.

I heard Twilight in the bush nearby, "Did she say late?"

"I was hoping my amazingly inspirational speech would urge everyone to do better than last year, but now it looks like we're going to be later than ever. I mean just look at this catastrophe. The ice scorers made the ice chunks too big to melt," Hey, I thought we did a pretty good job, "The nest designer is horrendously behind, we need several hundred, and she's only made one,"

Rarity was sobbing while working on a messed up looking bird house.

"And don't get me started on all the clouds in the sky, the icicles on the trees... This isn't good, not at all!"

"And it's gonna be all to pieces disastrous if we can't get our seeds all planted," Applejack added. True, if they don't plant anything we maybe looking at a famine.

"Chillax Applejack, we're bustin' our chops as fast as we can," Rainbow told her.

"No, not fast, we have to wake animals slowly," Fluttershy said. When something she cares about needs help, she is willing to argue about it.

Oh, here comes Big Mac, "Uh, AJ?" He said a little nervously.

"Oh good gravy, Caramel lost the grass seeds again, didn't he?" Applejack asked.

"Eeyup," Simple words that say it all.

A pegasus then came up to Rainbow, "Ditzy Doo accidentally went north to get the southern birds!"

"Oh that featherbrain. Didn't she learn her lesson last year when she went west?" Wow, call me physic.

Ponies were starting grumble and complain about all their misfortune, and the idea of failing again.

The Mayor tried to put a stop to this, "Stop this at once. We don't have time to argue. It's almost sundown. Spring is going to be late again. Another year of scandal and shame. If only we could be more organized,"

"Stop, everypony!" Twilight suddenly shouted, coming out of the bush. But was ignored, "Stop!" Still being ignored, she used her magic to grab a bird, and have it emit a loud chirp. To ponies believe in animal cruelty?

"Sorry," she apologizes to the bird as it flies off, "I know you all want to complete your jobs on time, but arguing is no way to go about it. What you need is organization, and I'm just the pony for the job,"

Wow, I guess Twilight did end up finding her little nitch after all. She had single hoofedly brought order to all of the chaos, and got it all working smoothly again. She would make a good President, if she didn't panic when a plan didn't work. But even then she would be better than most others.
