((OOC: Gerty Greetings http://www.canterlot.com/topic/5941-gerty-greetings-final/ ))

Gerty Greetings watched her husband leave for work. 'Always in a rush... But, he's still the sweet pegasus I fell in love with all those years ago. He hasn't changed a bit.' She thought to her self. Gerty smiled as she started to fill her saddle bags with paper and pencils. As usual, the earth pony was preparing for her trip to Sweet Apple Acres. It was that time of the year when she needed to come up with new designs for cards. Her cards often needed scenery and apple trees just seemed to fit perfectly some how. From what Gerty had heard, this year's crop of apples were even more shiny than the last. The thought of drawing such beauty on a tree made her feel so joyful and free. Of course, she stopped for a moment to remember her husband's last words to her, before he left the house. 'Watch your step and try to avoid any accidents my dear.' She reminded her self through thought. Gerty Greeting's smiled a cheerful smile. She slipped her saddle bags on her back and left the house.

Gerty trotted towards Sweet Apple Acres. She constantly looked around her. The day felt young to her. It had innocence, beauty and a strange sense of a calming wonder. She inhaled large amount of fresh air and let it go with a deep sigh. Everything seemed perfect until she tripped over a tree trunk. Gerty was unharmed. It was mainly embarrassment that she felt. She was trying to avoid having one of her little accidents. Though the harder she tried, the harder it gotto try and avoid them happening. The mare stood up. She collected her papers that had spread across the ground and placed them back into her saddle bags. "I hope no pony saw that..." She mumbled to her self. After that little blunder, Gerty Greetings continued to trot towards Sweet Apple Acres. She wasn't going to let one little slip up ruin a perfect day. It took plenty more than that for her to have a bad day.

Up ahead, Gerty saw Sweet Apple Acres in all of its natural beauty. Her grin widened. He was even more beautiful than she could have imagined. The apples really did look shiny. Even from a distance, Gerty sould see them twinkling like stars. Gerty began to gallop as fast as she could. The mare just couldn't wait to get started on her sketches for the new card designs. Her heart was pounding and her head was filled with thoughts about the new cards. 'This year will be my best year for cards... They'll be as attractive as the apple trees. Oh I can't wait to sell my first batch. Oh, I bet my husband will love them. He always said get well soon cards with pictures of apples on them cheered up sick ponies. They've really out done themselves this time around.' But Gerty wasn't looking where she was going. She ran head first into a tree. Her saddle bags fell off her back. For a moment she just sat there rubbing her head. Then when she looked around, she noticed that she had collided with an apple tree. That meant only one thing. She had made it to Sweet Apple Acres.

Fixed it!

-Mumbling- Umm... I'm the last... to... Erm... Be the one to post.

((OOC: Prepare yourselves for a postal worker delivering letters on a bad day. A bad day for her, that is.))

Pixie Parcel flew in soaked to the skin, Her mane and tail were stood on end. She was grunting under her breath. "Why would they even let a colt play with storm clouds? He thinks he's so funny... Lets electricute the postal worker and then make it rain on her! If his parents were home, he'd be getting such a telling off..." It was clear that she was having the most terrible of days. Pixie Parcel had been the victim of childish prank. It was the last she needed. The postal depot had five workers call in sick. She was taking all of their rounds, which meant she had to rush around like a maniac. Pixie loved her job, but this was all too much even for a workaholic like her. She nearly crashed on the way to several houses. This wasn't her usual route and she was far from home. Luck was on her side for that issue because she'd memorized the map. That was something she was really good at and she knew it.

She walked up to the desk; rain water dripping from her long thin legs. "The usual postal worker for around this area couldn't make it into work... So, you've got me until he can get back into work." Pixie Parcel explained. She slipped the extremely large saddle bags off her back. They landed on the floor with a thud. Pixie Parcel let out a sigh of relief. All of that weight was giving her intense back pain. It was too double the size of her own body weight. Never the less, Pixie Parcel did not complain. Instead, she opened one of the saddle bags and took out five letters. Then Pixie Parcel placed the letters on the front desk. She looked at her saddle bags and sighed. "Well, I best be off... I've got plenty more places to go to." Pixie parcel slid the saddle bags onto her back. She let out a small squeak of pain. She was in agonising pain. Pixie Parcel was also shivering as getting soaked, made her feel so very cold. "Achoo!" The pegasus sneezed. As she turned to leave, Pixie Parcel muttered to her self. "I think I've bitten off more than I can chew... This work load is going to kill me."

Character Summary:

Whisperpaw lived with his aunt because his parents had jobs that took away any free time that the average pony had. His aunt had promised to raise him well. Every week his parents wrote to him. His aunt would read him every single letter with love and care. Then she'd take a photo of him and post it to them. He was an only child and a very shy colt at that. His aunt was a singer. She loved him dearly, but she had trouble understanding him at times. She thought it was strange for him to spend most of his time alone. Even when he was at school he never spoke to other ponies. She tried to enrol him in drama lessons. He was doing fine until it came to the day of performing in front of an audience. He got stage fright and went off to hide. Then she enrolled him in a music class. He didn’t like the sound of the musical instruments, so he ran off. She was having quite a lot of trouble finding something for him to do. Then she had an idea; an idea that gave him his cutie mark.

She signed him up to go to a colt’s summer camp. Whisperpaw was unsure if it was a good idea. He’d left his home to join other colts of his age to go camping in Whitetail Wood. He was pleasantly surprised about how peaceful it was with the other campers. They were just like him. They were all quiet and shy. He didn’t feel the urge to run away or to hide from anything.

On the first night, he sat alone looking up at the stars. In the distance, he could make out the shape of a large dog. But it wasn’t a large dog. It was a wolf. He heard the wolf howl to the moon. Something inside him, made him feel strangely comforted by this beautiful sight. He knew it was a wolf. He made a note of it. Every night he waited for the wolf to howl at the moon. Every night, he saw the wolf. With each night, he made more notes about it. Then on the final night, something happened that he couldn’t have even dreamed about.

He watched the wolf howl to the moon as he usually did. He made his note of it. Then the wolf came towards him. It wasn’t afraid of him and Whisperpaw wasn’t afraid of the wolf. Whisperpaw then noticed something about the wolf. It was looking for something. “Have you lost something or someone?” He asked the wolf. The wolf looked down at the ground. There was a small paw print on the floor. It was a wolf paw print; a very small wolf paw print. “You’ve lost your baby.” He mumbled. Suddenly his horn started to glow. It glowed stronger as he followed the paw prints.

His horn lead him towards the wolf pup. There it was, the small pup was sleeping in a bush. The adult wolf followed up behind him. “I’ve found your baby...” He mumbled to the wolf. The wolf responded by licking his cheek. Then it picked up its pup and wandered off into the darkness. Whisperpaw turned around to leave, when he noticed a cutie mark had appeared on his flank.

When he left school, he spent some time studying wildlife conservation in university. He worked hard, reading book after book. His thirst for knowledge about wild animals was clear. He studied hard and came out with a degree. His aunt cried tears of joy on his graduation day. She knew he had grown up to become a charming young stallion.

When he had left college, he moved to Solstice heights because he wanted to live in a more peaceful place, where he and the animals he wanted to help, wouldn't be too far apart. There, he started up his own wildlife conservation programme. He helped out the wildlife in need and offered to educate fillies and foals about the importance of wildlife conservation. He couldn’t have been happier. Once a week he’d write to his aunt, telling her about his adventures. He knew she was interested in his progress.

Whisperpaw always has had one serious flaw. He’s always been shy. But his shyness meant he was afraid to speak. Sometimes he couldn’t even bring his self to let out the words he’s wanted to say. What he did about it, was practicing talking in the mirror. He has achieved the ability to communicate vocally from his practice. However, it is always in the form of a whisper. Sometimes he may hesitate and let out a nervous squeak. But in the end he manages to bring his self to whisper a few words.

I didn't even think of that. But now that you've come to mention it, Granny Smith's hip suddenly getting better does sound suspicious. Very suspicious, indeed...

Oh, I almost forgot to mention it... But I used be afraid of the toaster. I used to be afraid of it because I nearly set the house on fire when I put bread in the toaster. I set the temperature too high. It took my dad four months to get it into my head that toasters aren't trying to burn down the house. Now that I think of it, it was kind of a silly fear... But, I was only fourteen at the time. Everyone makes mistakes.

I think everyone likes to look back on the past. Remembering the good times often comforts people and gives them that boost they need as they go through day to day life. Like when I'm in Aquatics at college and I'm stuck with that evil tutor who hates one student and everyone sees her yelling at the student. At those times all I want to do is scream because I think it's mean to blame an innocent person for being childish when they weren't. So then I start thinking about those innocent childhood days when I'd watch Rugrats on TV on Nickelodeon in the morning. I'd remember going bike riding with my childhood friend who lives across the road. I'd remember coming inside when my legs felt tired and watching Dexter's Laboratory, then Cow And Chicken. It makes those awful lessons bearable. Though I have a feeling that the tutor will lose her job if she keeps acting the way she does.

It taught me who my real friends are.

Talk none stop about words that rhym with bean, until he begs you to stop.

- When all of the songs on your phone are out of MLP FIM.

My family always say that I'm like an absent minded proffessor because I'm forgetful. But I do have a friend who, I compare to Derpy becuase like Derpy, she can act really stupid sometimes. But she calls herself a Derpy.

I'd spend the day with Fluttershy. We could snuggle softly with all of the cute bunnies and start a humming bird choir together. Then we could watch some butterflies as the flutter gracefully from one flower to the next. Then we could go and see if there are any ducks to feed. Ahh, it would be animal heaven.

Character Summary:

Gerty Greetings was born in Ponyville. There she lived with her parents who, like her, were also land ponies. She also had a little sister who looked up to her dearly. Her mother was an artist and her father was an actor who worked in Canterlot. He would spend months away from the family leaving only his wife to take care of Gerty and her younger sister. Often Gerty Greetings felt sad about her father not being around as often as she’d like him to be. She saw all the other fillies and foals at her school with both of their parents. But, most of the time Gerty only had one to be with her. It made her feel like an outcast. But she stayed strong for her younger sister, who equally missed their father when he went off to work.

Then one morning when her father was about to leave, Gerty got up early and grabbed onto his leg. She was begging him not to leave because she knew he was going to be gone for a long time. He turned to her and said. ”I promise I’ll write to you this time... You’re not alone. I’m always with you in your heart.” Gerty Greetings let go of her father’s leg and gave him a kiss before he left the house. She knew he’d never break his promise. He always kept his promises.

Two days later a letter arrived. It was addressed to Gerty. She opened it up to find that it was a letter from her father. Inside the envelope were several photos of her father both on the stage of the theatre and a few off stage. She beamed a bright smile. Gerty Greetings loved the photos. They were so special and meaningful to her that she wanted to send something equally as special back to him. That’s when she got the idea of making him a greetings card. Gerty worked really hard on making it perfect. When it was completed, her cutie mark appeared.

As she grew up, Gerty Greetings made her own small greetings card business. At first business was very slow. But two weeks into the card making business, it all changed. She out wearing her saddle bags stuffed with all sorts of cards she’d made. There were birthday cards, get well soon cards, cards congratulating success, cards welcoming new foals into the world and cards for weddings. Gerty Greetings was daydreaming while she was walking. She wasn’t paying much attention to where she was going when suddenly she stepped in a bucket, fell over, only to get her other hoof stuck in a bucket. Frantically she reared and kicked, trying to get the buckets off her hooves. They came flying off and she kicked a wall.

Gerty Greetings ended up going to the local doctor’s clinic where she met the love of her life. While he was treating her, they got talking. She told him about her little business and he even looked at her cards. He bought some get well soon cards. He told her that they would be perfect for cheering up some of his patients. That made Gerty smile. From then on she spent more time with the love of her life. Soon, she moved out of her parent’s house and went to live with him. They got married and had three beautiful off spring, which grew up and moved out getting jobs of their own.

Gerty Greetings had some clear flaws. She day dreamed too much. This meant that she blocked out the world around her and often got lost in a world of her own thoughts. She was also very clumsy. She would get herself into all sorts of crazy situations. These situations meant that she saw her husband’s place of work several times per year. When those two flaws were combined, she was a walking disaster. Since then she has learned not to day dream outside of the house and to watch her step. It has made her slightly less accident prone and she has had less visits to the clinic. But, she still has her moments where accidents do happen. But one accident a week for her is a great achievement.

Sex: Male

Age: Stallion

Species: Pegasus

Eye Color: Brown

Coat Color: Grey

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His mane is short and scruffy. His tail is wild and untamed. Both of which are pure white.

Physique: He is quite a tall pegasus, but his body condition is relatively normal as in he has the average overall weight of most pegasi.

Cutie Mark: A golden heart wearing a stethoscope

Origin/Residence: Golden Heart was born in Cloudsdale, but he currently lives in Ponyville.

Occupation: Doctor

Motivation: Golden Heart, has long working hours. But when he goes to sleep, he dreams about making sick little fillies and colts feel better. He dreams about taking away their pain. When he works and he sees a sick filly or colt smile; it makes his job feel more worthwhile. When he sees a mare or stallion thanking him for everything he has done for them, he feels the warm motivation building up inside him. It is the kind of motivation that gets him going through the toughest of days at work.

Likes: Making children smile, listening to the patients stories of what happened and spending quality time with his family.

Dislikes: Missing seeing is daughter delivering the post in the morning and spending less time with his loved ones due to his long working hours.

Character Summary:

Golden heart was born in Cloudsdale. He was an only child who lived with his parents, who both were pegasi like everyone else in Cloudsdale. His mother controlled the rain clouds and made sure they rained where and when they were scheduled to rain down upon. His father coached one of the pegasi who competed in the pegasi races. His father wanted him to grow up to join the pegasi races or control the weather like his mother. His mother on the other hoof, just wanted him to be happy. This is why she asked him where he wanted to go, unlike his father who took him to the racing courses and made him practice. Golden Heart didn’t like racing too much, but he tried his hardest on the practice track with his father. Although, his father was never pleased with the time it took for him to get to the finish line.

Because his father was a coach, Golden always got free tickets to see the great races. It was when he went to the races with his father that both of his parents became concerned about him. Golden always seemed to be more interested in the racing injuries than the actual race in its self. At first they thought it was just a childish phase and that he would grow out of it in a matter of months. But when he continued in showing interest in the injuries, they took him to a psychiatrist. After a few consultations, they found out that Golden didn’t like watching them get hurt. He just wanted to know how their injuries were healed. From then on, they accepted that was just who Golden was.

Then one day when Golden was with his father watching the race for the championship, there was an accident and a pegasus in the race had injured his wing. There were no doctors in the crowd for some reason. Something in Golden’s head sparked off an idea. Golden zoomed off onto the race track. It was the fastest he had ever flown. He pulled the bandanna off his head and used it as a sling for the injured wing of the pegasus. The pegasus suddenly spoke. “Hey colt... Thanks... Oh, and your cutie mark just appeared.” Golden Heart beamed a bright smile. “It really, really has! I knew I always wanted to make pony folk better.” He cried out. Even his father was proud of him on that day.

Golden Heart studied hard in medical school. There, he got his degree and officially became a doctor when he graduated. He left Cloudsdale and moved to Ponyville where he would start work. He wanted to move to Ponyville because he wanted to help out more than just pegasi. He wanted to help out a variety of ponies. But he didn't want to work in a fancy place such as Canterlot. He never felt as though he could fit in amongst the richer pony folk because he didn't understand how to act around them. On his second week on the job, he met a beautiful young mare and fell in love. They got married, had twins both male. Then they had a beautiful daughter. Each of their children grew up and moved out. Their daughter still came back every morning when she had moved to Cloudsdale. She came back because she delivered their post. Golden regretted missing her on every visit, but his duty of work meant he had to start before his own daughter started work.

Golden’s flaws were quite obvious. He didn’t spend enough time with his family and he didn’t even take a week off work for his own relaxation. Then one evening when he came home, his wife had already gone to bed. There was a letter for him on the table. It was from his daughter. He read it and began to see how much his family missed him. He never even spoke to her since she’d moved out and his wife barely saw him. From that day on he had learned that sometimes it’s important to take time off work to spend time with his loved ones. It made him stronger because he learned how to better himself. Since that day, he started taking the occasional week off work just to spend with his loved ones. Today he feels that there is such thing as too much work and he understands what went wrong.

When you compare yourself to one of the characters. (-Blushes- Guilty for that one...)

When you memorize everything said in your favourite episode by your favourite character.

- Well, I love the animals.

- I love the varied personalities of the ponies.

- I love how the cutie mark appears when a pony discovers who they are. It reminds me of childhood. You spend your childhood, growing and learning about who you are and what you can achieve in most. Then one day, you stop and think. 'This is what I want to do when I grow up.' Sure some children change their minds because their still discovering themselves. But there are others who keep on at the same dream because they know who they are and what they are destined to be.

- I love how they are constantly learning something new about friendship. The lessons they learn are passed down to the younger genteration of veiwers and that helps them make the right choices in life.

- And overall I love the humour the show provides.

The sad song in the background of this part of the movie always sets me off into tears.

And I love this one in the final movie.

More!
