//------------------------------// // Frosty love chapter two // Story: Accidental adventure and romance // by virgoknight //------------------------------// The light creaked in on the sleeping pair who were intertwined to fight off the cold in the cavernous cave. The frost melted slightly causing some fog to cover the entrance giving the scene a mysterious appearance. Applejack could smell sweet cotton candy as her eye's open gazing at a messy mane covering parts of her body. She felt a chill run down her spine causing her to shiver when she felt pair of hooves full of warmth pulling her closer into a sweet embrace. The orange mare could only smile wanting this moment to last as long as Granny Smith still does. Pinkie Pie was dreaming of apples and cupcakes frolicking at a picnic party as she shot her confetti cannon along with Applejack. The dream was ending as she felt the warmth from her friend shaking her wake slowly. The pony of joy only clung to her even harder as Applejack was attempting to shake her awake. "Pink's? you awake sugar?" said the concerned earth pony as she shook Pinkie Pie. "No more oatmeal mom I swear ill clean the tub with a brush instead of a pie this time." snorted the party pony as the fog died down revealing the entrance to the outside. "Oh buck its cold in here," she then added " But how did your mane cover most of me and how much do you got in there." Noticing that throughout the night ambiguous items along with a bag full of chocolates fell out of her mane. As she shook her sweet smelling friend only more item's appeared confusing the orange mare. The reliable mare realized that her friend must have retain more damage like Big Mac did when a crate of apples fell on his head when he was a foal. Pinkie groaned slight as the orange mare looked her over looking for signs of her waking. Applejack smiled at her friend as the sun revealed her friend face this startled the orange mare. Pinkie had a large bump above her right eye with a small size scab that was barely healing in this cold. This brought some panic from Applejack as the laughing mare stirred waking from her slumber. Pinkie raised her head lazily with a slow smile spreading from her face that caused the honest earth pony to freeze in her spot. Her thoughts wandered into her no no zone in the left portion of her brain. Amazing and beautiful was the two words echoing in her head. She blushed fiercely as she rushed forward to hug the party pony as gently as she could. "Whoa did we party last night, must have been a blast my head hasn't hurt this much since we threw a party for Spike he is such a fun little guy." spoke the embarrassed pink mare slightly dizzy from her injury. "I buck whole field of orange tree's just to see you wake up sugar," said the proud pony her feelings becoming more firm in her heart " Apples we got stuck here in this snow trap my little cupcake." " Felt like an oven to me." then she added slyly " Like I was cuddling with some warm apple pie hmm if only I had some whip topping nummy num num." Applejack went slack for a minute before responding "Hay bails little cupcake you sure know how to make your cousin blush don't ya." The joy pony didn't respond to the cousin because she was unsure if Applejack was awake. Pinkie rubbed her head before she replied with an easy smile " Hope to have more slumber parties Twilight bragged about hers real good made me a little jealous that I missed all that fun." Quick response from the work pony " Not sure if I could call that fun with Rarity being all fancy but sure I think we could have some real fun little cupcake." Pinkie Pie finally noticed her new nickname, something like a pet name which brought her a happy balloon into her heart. Her head twinged as her hoof reached up to touch her bump which began to throb. A memory flashed of a yeti chasing both her and Applejack, then a fall into the snow nothing came after that. The orange earth pony took her cowboy hat off and place it over the party ponies head covering her wound. This caused Pinkie Pie to smile so wide convincing the honest mare that she was made of a elastic material. Both of them began laughing as they fell into an embrace tears running down their cheeks as relief finally took over. "Apples cupcake you could buck my apple tree's any day and it would always brings me a smile." said Applejack realizing her own honest words embarrassment fell across her face. "Oooo that sounds like fun maybe I should do an apple tree party for my sweet mare friend." she winked flushing at her own words. " Now that's my kind of party but I think we should get home first so we can get your head looked at and tarnations this loose mouth of mine too." as a faint tinge of red barely touching her cheeks. Pinkie Pie was unsure why AJ needed to have her mouth looked but if she needed help she would.. no bad Pinkie she is your friend. Her mane poofed three times as her mind overheated at the thoughts that raced through her mind causing her to vibrate in one spot. This action lead Applejack to smile as her emerald eye's glistened at her friend with a creeping fear of relatives not approving. The two stared at one another not understanding their feelings which whirled worse than the storm they fell into last night. Applejack put her emotions into check as she realized how much danger they must be in. This wonderful moment was interrupted by some unfamiliar voices being yelled outside the cave striding by. A group of voices was yelling outside the cave with a rough texture to the sound startling both mares. Applejack one to take action grabbed Pinkie's hoof leading her outside to meet the intruders. "By Granny smiths walking stick could it be?" asked the honest mare holding her friend. "Yup yaks told you they are a chatty bunch and sometimes they know how to ruin some good fun." a lazy smiled sprawled across the face of Pinkie. "Whaa?" asked a confused earth pony " Like the ones that ruined your party if they try again they are gonna get bucked!" "Silly apple, but no these are different voices I know they need a party a search party!" she drum tapped her mare friend shoulders. . " Wait Pinkie." Applejack watched her friend dash out the cave calling out to the yaks, as a thought raced through her mind chase party. Pinkie Pie felt like she could party for a whole year straight her heart was thumping faster than normal like a zillion times faster. Her Pinkie levels were at an all time high as she zipped across the ridge, her head began to spin. Applejack caught the crazy pony as she fell in front of the yak's holding torches with looks of concern and surprise. "Who are you two and why is she hurt?" asked a broken horned yak. "Is she alright little thing?" asked a young yak. Pinkie Pie put on her best meet someone new for the first time smile that caused the yaks to be quiet for a minute. She tried to stand up and failed but her words still came forth. " Hi Yakki's its me Pinkie Pie I almost traveled to your home once to look for the perfect party item to help your prince realize that we ponies know how to get down." she blurted out surprising her guests but not Applejack. "We need help now," Applejack said with a stern plea "My friend is hurt and there are varmints who chased us mean ugly ones." The largest yak stood forward holding a burning torch " Yak village not far it will keep warm yes." A young yak brought a sleight forward and asked earnestly " Need help strong one?" Applejack was full of concern but still flashed her business grin " Sure little warrior help auntie Applejack out please mite tired from the running." The yaks pulled out a sleigh and assisted Applejack in putting the party pony in its care. Applejack wouldn't let anyone pull the sleigh but her as they followed the yak's towards their home. The orange mare barely spoke as she pulled her friend through the snow. These treacherous ridge made it difficult for her to pull slowing her pace down. The large yak spoke " Little one need break let me pull for now we have distance to go." "No ah not gonna share this chore," she spoke with heated passion "mah fault she is hurt in the first place." "You said yeti chase and hurt her," the young yak spoke "Seems like its yeti fault." A misshapen rock caught onto the leg of the sleigh jerking both ponies to the ground. The broken horned yak helped the work pony up giving her a chance to get Pinkie back onto the sleigh. She felt her friends head and it was burning with a high temperature that sent chills down her back that wasn't from the weather. "Dang nabbit she got a fever this ain't fair." she threw her hat on the ground daring herself to stomp on it. The large yak spoke with concern "We have shaman he can help." The broken horn yak spoke next with sympathy " Let me pull for now little pony you rest with her keep her from getting worse." This line of reasoning made Applejack give up the reins of the sleigh. A sigh escaped her mouth as she quickly covered her mouth. "Ah am sorry for being stubborn thank you." Applejack said as she climbed onto the sleigh to cover her dear friend. Back in Ponyville Twilight was sending her research and correspondence to princess Celestia on the matter at hand. She and spike were making many letters gather all the possible information she could garner from her teacher. Fluttershy along with Rarity and Rainbow Dash was waiting in the same room impatience filling the air. The castle room was filled with the nervous energy of these five characters causing Rainbow to pace the room kicking at random objects. Fluttershy was petting Angel who was struggling in her arms with an annoyed expression, he was trying to escape unsure why his master was so nervous. Rarity was the calmest one in the room sipping her tea as she watched with concern over her friends. "Rarity how can you be so calm." Rainbow asked roughly. "Because my dear Twilight couldn't possibly hurt our friends even on accident that's how." Rarity said with confidence. Rainbow Dash snorted at her response and then replied "I know she wouldn't do it intentionally Rarity but how can you be so calm its driving me crazy." Rarity set her cup of tea down and look at her friend " I have to be calm right now Dash or I would be bawling my eye's right now and Twilight needs us to be strong." Fluttershy looked at both of her friends amazed by their strength to handle their friends gone missing she was nearly at the breaking point barely holding it together. Angel decided to resign his fate to being pet repeatedly he just have to get his extra carrot for all this work. Rainbow Dash growled at the wall and then she took several deep breath's that Fluttershy taught her to do when she felt a lot of tension. "Umm are they gonna be ok?" Fluttershy felt the need to say something. Rarity took another sip and then spoke "Do you think Applejack would have a problem anywhere I bet you right now she is bucking like a crazed mare." This caused the sky color Pegasus to chuckle "And Pinkie I am sure that mare can survive anything she is the craziest and friendliest mare in Equestria." Fluttershy finally stopped petting Angel and smiled vaguely "Your right those two can do anything when they put their hooves to it." Twilight burst into the room along with Spike they both took a several breath's before speaking. Spike spoke first "They are alive!" Rarity nearly dropped her cup of tea "How do you know?" Spike responded again "Twilight cast a life detection spell that was oriented on both of them." "Is that even possible never mind who cares that is awesome." Rainbow danced across the room. Twilight Sparkles spoke "Me and Celestia along with Luna are working on a region location spell this will take a few days to locate them." Fluttershy spoke an octave higher "That means we can find them thank you oh thank you Twilight." The kind Pegasus latched a hug onto the guilt ridden alicorn giving both of her friends a face full of regret. "Do not give me that look Princess Twilight this was accident and not your fault!" Rarity slammed her cup on the table. Rainbow Dash admired her friends resolved and followed with " She's right Twi it's that uncool book's fault for messing with your magic don't blame yourself gal you are awesome!" Twilight felt tear's welling in her eye's "But it was I who cast the spell because I wanted to learn how to create the destination spell." Spike held Twilight hoof gently with a soft stroke "Let it go Twilight your research has helped many of the ponies of Equestria and the other princess's accidents happens to us all please don't let this stop you being you." Twilight was being hugged by all of her friends after the hug fest each friend returned home to gather supplies for there eventual journey for their friends. Twilight Sparkles along with her amazing assistant Spike went to visit the royal sisters to help with the location region spell. Back in the crystal ridge there was a small scuffle ensuing unknown to the sleeping duo the yaks were fighting a small group of yeti's. The large yak had a yeti in each hoof tossing them into the other yeti's. The young yak worked in unison with the broken horned yak defending the sleigh knocking the yeti's aside with amazing strength of the yaks. This convinced the small group to run off as they bit off more than they can chew. "Silly yeti's only small one's came." spoke the large yak. "Careful there are many yeti's." spoke the broken horned yak as she stroked her unbroken horn. The young one surveyed the other and sighed "Sometimes there are big ones too." The three nodded in unison as the large one took the reins pulling the two weakened ponies towards their village higher up the ridge.
