Angling her wings in a way that made her flight path begin to loop in a tighter circle, Rain was more then halfway to the ground when she noticed a pony standing in front of her house. Tilting her head curiously, she watched the brightly colored figure lift a hoof to the mailbox, opening it up before placing an envelope inside. Who she was now assuming was a mailpony gave a rather excited squeal before they began bouncing away, bright pink main and tail streaming behind their retreating form. The corner of Rain's mouth quirked up as she watched, surprised that she would already have a letter when she hadn't even been in Ponyville for an entire day yet. Landing in front of her mailbox with a soft clop of her hooves, the mare retrieved the brightly colored envelope and glanced at it before ripping it open. It certainly had her name on it.

[I]Dear Miss Rainy Day,

Mayor Mare kindly requests your presence at Townhall at 2 PM this afternoon to discuss your residency application and assess your satisfaction in the home you have purchased and to make sure that all the proper documentation has been filed. We at the city hall warmly welcome you to Ponyville and hope to be able to serve you in the future.

Yours sincerely,
Ponyville Town Council
Mayor Mare[/I]

Her surprise turned to understanding as she reread the short message, her head instinctively turning in search of a Clock. The large tower in town told her that it  was just a little past 11 now, so she had a few hours left to put in to unpacking before she had to be at town hall, that was good. Taking the letter with her inside, she opened one of the nearby cardboard boxes and began sorting through her belongings, smiling at the idea of having such a friendly Mayor.

Meanwhile, a pink blur was steadily making its way through Ponyville, depositing envelopes to surprised Ponies, frequent bursts of confetti accompanying the deliveries. When the blur finally reached the door to One of the café, it paused long enough to reveal the same pony who had dropped off an envelope in Rainy Day's mailbox earlier, her blue eyes bright with excitement as she opened the door. Then she became a blur once more as she ran around the interior of the little restaurant, dropping off an envelope with the name of each pony it was given to written on the front. Before the door had fully closed, she streaked out it once more, the bell giving a gentle tinkle.

"Looks like Pinkie Pie is excited about something." A mare at One of the tables chuckled, picking up the envelope and opening it with a smile.

[I] you're invited to a super special secret surprise welcome to Ponyville party this afternoon at 2 PM to welcome our newest resident, Rainy Day the Pegasus!
