And I'm a Horizon
Just Over the Horizon smiled. He loved doing these video shoots. More advertising meant more exposure meant more creatures would become Horizons like him.
"Hello, my name is Just Over, and I'm a Horizon. That's right, I'm that line at the edge of your world where the earth and sky meet. It's an important job, and I'd like to tell you a bit about it and myself.
"I was born fourteen years ago to two wonderful parents, Beyond the and A Cloud on the. I have a little brother named On the, and a big sister named Wanda. I also have a pet fish I named after my big sister.
"A common misconception is that none of us are actually horizons. Ponies think that we're beyond it, or above it, or what ever, but that's not true. We all are Horizons; we just take on punny names. It's a family tradition or something. Every time I ask my about it, he just says something to the effect of 'I'll tell you when you're older, son.' But I'm getting off topic.
"Horizons have a very important job, as I'm sure you can imagine. We have to secure the boundary between the earth and sky, and make sure neither one tries to bleed into the other. It's a tough job, but I'm looking forward to it.
"We work closely with the royal alicorn, Princess Celestia. She used to have a sister, but unfortunately, we haven't spotted her in around six hundred years. When ever somehorizon asks Celestia, she just sighs and tells us her sister is trapped 'far beyond the horizon.' Well, that's during the day. If you ask her at night, the answer she gives is 'she's high above the horizon.' Sheesh, that lady's always so cryptic.
"Anyway as I was saying, we work closely with Celestia. We rotate who is going to sit out on the edge of the visible world that day. There's a pool of about fifty, maybe sixty of us. Actually, probably more like sixty five—I haven't counted recently. We take turns sitting out there, because it's a tough and monotonous job, and it can hurt a bit when Celestia's big ball o' burning gas rips through our midsection. The moon mostly just tickles.
"I myself am proud to have been the official horizon twenty-two times. I'm just starting off, so I don't do it very often. I have the rest of my life ahead of me, and I don't want to wear myself out to early like Broaden the did. My little bro hasn't even started horizonating yet. He will soon though.
"So yeah, it's a cool job to do, being the farthest thing ponies can see and all that. It can get a little lonely sometimes, since most ponies never reach us. I really hope [url=http:// http://www.fimfiction.net/story/25966/austraeoh] Rainbow Dash does though. That'd be pretty cool. [/url].
"I guess that's all I really have to say about myself. I'm Just Over, and I'm a Horizon."
Just Around turned off the TV. "Ugh, these commercials are getting to me. I think I need to sleep." So the river bend brushed her teeth and put on some pajamas, and drifted into sweet reverie beneath the soft warm covers of her riverbed.
