WELCOME, ANIMAL TEAM!
Vest: Tan
The Animal Team ponies take care of all of the animals in Ponyville, waking them up for the springtime, tending to their dens, and making sure they have food to eat!
Animal Team Groups:
• Animal Wakers: wake up all the hibernating animals and tell them it's time for spring!
• Nest Builders: in charge of building nests for all the families of birds that are flying home after the winter
• Den Dusters: clean up all of the animal's dens and make them nice and pretty for springtime, as well as making sure there is enough food for them nearby.
Your Team Captain is Fluttershy, so if you have any questions or need any directions, you can go to her!

Rarity was at her station and ready before everyone else arrived. She had all of her nest building materials organized into neat piles by material and then, within the material sections, she had them organized by color. Everything was perfect, as long as nopony messed it up, and Rarity was ready to teach her disciples the fine arts of nest buildery. |

Oh being a leader was awful, just awful. Everypony would be looking at her just like when she was a model. And even worse she was responsible for them and had to make sure that they were doing a good job. Fluttershy quietly stood by the burrows with her bell at her hoof as she stared down at the snow. She really didn’t want to have to lead everypony else that was on her team waking animals. Actually, she would have preferred if she were to work alone. Though it would be really hard for her to wake up all of her little animals and she was so excited to see them again.
Fluttershy stood very still and waited for her team to arrive. She looked around and sighed softly. Hopefully, they'd be there soon. |

Apple Bloom was pleased to not only be old enough to participate, but to also be old enough to be on a team that wasn't with her older brother and sister. Not that she didn't love Applejack and Big Mac, but sometimes it was nice when she got to show off and do something different to prove she was a big pony too.
It was especially exciting because she got to do something she was good at-- help build things! Granted, it was building bird's nests, which were a bit smaller than the things Apple Bloom was used to building, but working on a farm meant she helped animals out like this in many ways, so it wasn't something she'd never done before. Plus, she'd be working with Rarity, who was the second-coolest big sister she knew, besides her own, of course.
Apple Bloom pranced over to Rarity's station and beamed up at the older pony. "Hi Rarity!!" |

Snakebite had only signed up for Animal Waking because it seemed like the best way to get the ponies in Ponyville to trust her. After all, waking animals was something only nice, gentle ponies could do properly, and although Snakebite was generally neither nice nor gentle, this was a good way to come off as both.
Plus, it amused her that she was working with Fluttershy, who was possibly the most easily startled and most soft-spoken pony she had ever been semi-acquainted with. With a little grin, Snakebite sidled up to the yellow mare, waving a hoof at her.
"Ahoy, Captain," she greeted her, putting on her most cheerful and enthusiastic voice. "Ready to wake these precious little guys?" |

If one were to look in a dictionary Fluttershy's picture would probably be right near the word "Meek" as she was easily the most soft spoken pony in Equestria. Looking up with her cyan eyes she watched Snakebite draw closer to her position. She felt her ears move back and she smiled back at the mare.
"Good morning," she murmured quietly but as she said that her voice wavered. Scuffing her hoof on the ground and in the snow she moved to her left and then motioned to the bells behind her. Nudging one forward she looked around anxiously. "H-here's your bell aand um..." She looked at the warrens and dens behind her. It looked like she needed help and Snakebite would be under her supervision. Motiong to the right with her hoof she stated, "A lot of my cold blooded friends are over there but try not to wake them up until it's a little warmer and the snow's melting otherwise they'll be too cold." It was taking a lot of courage for her to speak but she sort of knew Snakebite at least by name so that made her feel more comfortable.
"Most of the bunnies are over to the left, just all you have to do is ring the bell and coax them out." Fluttershy smiled as she thought about seeing everyone again. "The den cleaners will take care of getting their food and cleaning them out. So when they wake up just move on, okay?" She scuffed her hoof on the ground again, "Just do your best and use a kind voice and they'll be out lickity split just let me know if you have any trouble." |

Rose was SUPEREXCITED to be building nests and to prove it, she had a saddlebag full of baby's breath and heather across her back. She couldn't wait to hang out with Apple Bloom and Rarity and she tripped many times as she ran over. When she finally arrived, she skidded to a stop.
"Hi, Rarity! Hi, Apple Bloom!" She beamed. "I brought other stuff!" |

Lotus smiled happily as she walked towards Fluttershy. "Oh, Winter Wrap-Up is my favorite time of year!"she thought out-loud, dark blue eyes sparkling. She had been an animal waker for as long as she could remember, and all the animals seemed to like her. She walked over to a bunny den, and quietly whispered"Wake up, little one. Spring is here."her norwegian accent was beautiful and silky, soon a few rabbits came out. She gently rubbed one's back with her nose, and it nuzzled her cheek. She laughed softly, and slowly walked to another den. There was a lot more animals to be wakened!

Littlewing hopped down from the lowest cloud she could find. she had never helped with the winter wrap up before... normally she was asleep till this time. she had seen other ponies arriving and was nervous, the more ponies there were the more chances there were for her to mess up and for everyone to see the mess ups she caused.
she had spotted fluttershy and walked toward her. her tail accidentally grazing snakebites pelt, who littlewing avoided because she seemed scary. the tail left a thin line of ppaint on snake bites flank as littlewing talked to fluttershy and got her duster and vest.

Snakebite listened to Fluttershy's directions, resisting pulling any kind of smirk that would give away how she really felt about this animal waking stuff-- which was that frankly, she wouldn't mind if they stayed sleeping forever.
Nonetheless, she smiled and nodded at the end of Fluttershy's spiel. "I'm sure I won't have any trouble," she said sweetly, and then wandered over to the dens. As she was walking away, she felt something glide against her flank and whirled around to see a really puny little fillie who appeared to be covered in... paint? Snakebite glanced down and saw that her flank had been colored on slightly and she rolled her eyes, rubbing it off.
"Hey, why don't you watch what you're painting on?" she muttered gruffly to the younger pony, so that only she could hear. |
