Twilight Sparkle trotted through town, dusk approaching. Above her head, the last of the clouds were being rounded up. She waved to the Pegasi and marked off an item on her checklist.
She opened the door to the library, moved slowly up the stairs and flopped onto her bed.
Twilight thought for a moment, then slid a chair over to her desk.

"Rainbow Dash? Rarity? Is anypony here yet?" Twarkle9 asked, turning the volume down, trying not to wake up Spike, who was asleep behind her.
"I am! Sorry for being behind schedule. Nest making requires time, as you know, dear." RareBeauty responded.
"Not as much time as fixing weather all over Ponyville! Not to mention clearing away all the snow." Dashitall retorted, rolling her eyes. That Rarity wouldn't know a tough job if it smacked her on the horn.
"I'm here, Twilight. All of the animals are awake. Well, all but one. Angel won't get out of bed…" Shutterfly typed, looking over her shoulder at a sleeping angel. She sighed, considering another attempt at waking the bunny before deciding against it. She didn't want to be rude…
"Surprise! I'm here! All done with the ice, Twilight!" PinkyPartyPony quickly tapped out.
"Great job, Pinkie! I think that has us on schedule… Wait, what about Applejack?" Twarkle9 inquired, checking to see if her friend was around.
"Ah'm here, sugarcube. Clearin' off all that snow just gets harder every year, it seems." AppleJackAttack lamented.
"It's the same snow, Applejack. It doesn't change!" PinkyPartyPony sent, gigglesnorting to herself.
"Y'all can understand that, but not when clouds pass, the sky stays the same?" AppleJackAttack replied, recalling a recant conversation with Pinkie Pie.
"Can we call this winter officially wrapped up on time?" Dashitall asked eagerly.
"One last thing… Dare I ask, did the southern birds make it back safely?" Twarkle9 asked hesitantly, remembering the same issue coming up the last three or four years.
"All pheasant and accounted for! :D" DerpyDerp sent, giggling to herself at her own joke.
"Shoulda warned us before posting a pun of that scale, Derpy. XD" Dashitall joked back.
"Pheasant… oh, I understand. Good one, Derpy." Shutterfly smiled.
"Thanks Fluttershy! By the way, I have a package for you." DerpyDerp tapped out, rummaging around in her mail satchel for the small package.
"Oh, what is it?" Shutterfly asked curiously.
"I'm not sure… It wouldn't tell me…" DerpyDerp responded, a little disappointedly.
"You know they don't talk, right?" Twarkle9 asked, slightly concerned.
"Hey, a mare can dream, right? I mean, what if mail could talk? They'd have some great stories, I would think." DerpyDerp answered, considering the types of stories letters might recount.
"Chapter one, life in a mailbox…" Dashitall bean sarcastically.
"Rainbow Dash, don't be discourteous." RareBeauty scolded.
"Yeesh, I'm just sayin'…"
