Today was Winter Wrap-Up, I wasn't looking forward to it though. These ponies always put on a musical number singing about cleaning up winter, I just didn't understand why they would need to. I was wandering around town, seeing everypony in vests, luckily I had a vest, one that blocks bullets to match everypony elses, I thought I was starting a fashion trend. It looked like everypony had it under control, a few mishaps, but it's all good from what I've saw. Everypony had different colored vests, and Twilight had a one of a kind vest, one that has all the colors.
"Hey Twilight how ya-" I was cut of, with Twilight sticking a hoof in my mouth, and it tasted like dirt, gross.
"Now now Drew, I am really busy today. Why don't you go check on Rainbow, she might need some help clearing all the snow clouds?" She asked me, I had nothing else to do so, I turned into an Alicorn and took off into the skies.
"Hey Drew, can you help me out here?" Jhon was already there, and he was wearing a blue vest for the weather team, looked like he was dealing with a giant cloud, and he was alone. Jhon and I scraped away at it until it was completely gone, going on to the next one. I didn't have a colored vest, so I was wondering what I would do, maybe something different like Twilight. Turns out Twilight's vest wasn't one of a kind, I saw Nick walking down there wearing one himself asking if the pegasi were done clearing the roofs in Ponyville.
"Hey Nick, anything I can do?" I asked, he had told me to meet up with Pinkie over by the lake, she was ice-scoring. I wasn't the best skater around, but at least I could skate pretty well, unlike Twilight from what I've heard last year. I started to head over towards Pinkie's location, my Pip-boy told me to head over in this area, to see Pinkie skating like a pro. I started to put on my skates and headed over to Pinkie, scoring the ice as I go, I wasn't too bad after all.
"Hey Drew! I didn't know you could skate so well!" She saw me skating, I was pretty surprised myself, but when I was in my teen years my mom took me to Rockefeller Center in New York to practice my skating skills. I was really rusty, but I still remembered the basics luckily.
"Yeah, I hadn't gone skating in a while, but I still remember a little bit." I said, wobbling around, but I kept myself stable. Today was just spent helping the ponies clean up winter, I still didn't get a vest in the end, I was just another person offering to help everypony out today. Rainbow was just so tired, she passed out on top of me, I had to carry her back to my bed, and laid her down. I headed back into town, but before I could do that, Derpy got stuck in my mailbox.
"You havin fun there Derpy?" I asked, chuckling, she nodded. I didn't actually expect her to answer my question, but it seemed that she had a letter for me, and it was from Mayor Mare.
Dear Andrew,
I would like for you to come by my office today to thank you for helping everypony out, I have had Rarity design you a new vest, because now I would like to call you the Official All-Team Overseer. Please come by to pick it up.
Mayor Mare
I had just found out that I was the official All-Team Overseer I guess, which meant that I was supposed to help out all the teams next time Winter Wrap-Up comes around. I was already there to receive my jacket/vest thing, it was a vest that looked like Twilights, except I had an armband with a star on it too, squee!
I was happily skipping along the trail that lead back to my house, everypony was looking at me weird, but I didn't give a fuck. Even Pinkie joined in my happy skipping, I didn't know why, but I just went along with it.
"Drew *skip* why are *skip* we skipping *skip*?" Pinkie asked at my randomness.
"I just got a vest! This is the type of shit I like!" I responded, Pinkie was so happy for me, she hugged me and skipped back to Sugarcube Corner, man I loved her positiveness, it went well with my type of personality.
I put the vest in a plastic cover and put it in my closet storaging unit, along with my other sets of armor and clothing to use until next year.
"Hey Rainbow, want something to drink?" I asked, she nodded asking me what I had, I decided it was time for her to try some of Princess Celestia's experimental Nuka-Cola. She had given me a six pack to try out, and I tried one myself. And since it was a modified recipe of the original, it had no radiation in it whatsoever. Rainbow popped the lid and took a swig, it still had the original label too, and her eyes widened.
"You say Princess Celestia made this? This is awesome!" She gestured her hooves into the air, making it more dramatic.
"I knew you'd like it." I said, poking her in the shoulder, she drank the rest of it and popped open another bottle, I had to stop her from drinking all of it before we had to go buy more. We could only buy this in Canterlot because it was still in its experimental stage of development.
Today I wanted to teach Rainbow how to use a gun, but she had no fingers, so instead of that I decided to take her around town. For no reason at all, just to go for the shits and giggles. My hair had been getting long since I got here, to the point where it was no longer spiky, and I wanted my hair spiky, because you can see my scalp through it. Yeah, my hair is that thin, so I decided to head over to Rarity's Boutique to get a haircut.
"So, you want me to cut your hair?" She asked, I nodded silently.
"Okay, go take a seat over there, we'll get started in a minute." She replied, I was happy because I was getting my old hair style back. My hair was a caramel brown with black streaks in it, and it looks awesome when it's spiky, my hair was naturally spiky. Because my hair is really long, it wasn't spiky anymore, and I wasn't gonna deal with buying shampoo all the time.
"My my Drew, you look better without long hair! This is simply livid!" Rarity had said, I just chuckled as I let her get back to work, I paid her in full. Of course she wouldn't take it, but I made her take it, with words, not physically. I can't hurt a woman without a good reason, that's what my dad taught me. I went outside to meet up with Rainbow, and we continued into town, with my new hair style, if I got a haircut in my human form, I wonder what I looked like as an Alicorn. Turns out it didn't affect it at all, luckily, it's like as if Twilight Lightning is a whole another life, and body for me.
As Rainbow and I were walking downtown, I saw posters of me singing?! This was crazy, I knew I was good, but I wasn't planning turning into a music sensation at any time.
"Drew? You're a music sensation?!" Rainbow asked me, I was just as confused as I was.
"I don't know Rainbow, I didn't plan on this happening at all." I replied, my mind has just been blown. Well, that was subtle, I have to tell Vinyl to take down that poster, but it was hard with a crowd of paparazzi surrounding you and your girlfriend. I just teleported both of us out of there, making our way towards Vinyl's House.
"DJ, we need to talk." I said, in an annoyed manner, she knew what I was going to say, to defend herself, she said that she needed the popularity, her nightclub wasn't doing so well these days. I just went along with it, but I wasn't going to sing there for a while, because I have to have my singing voice recharge its vocals. I would like to, but I can't because I'm not able to.
Today was just wonderful, seeing how ponies set up for spring, how they clean up winter. And just finding out about becoming a music sensation. I was hoping for tomorrow to be just another day.
"It will be, trust me." Somepony in Drew's mind said.
"Who is that?!" I asked.
"I'm the author of this story, now, don't talk. You need to be going home right about now." The author wrote in about me going home, I was really tired today anyway so I agreed and went home to rest up for tomorrow.
