//------------------------------// // Message For Pinkie // Story: Frost Bite's Cutie Mark Story // by Ryu Hayabusa //------------------------------// My past still haunts me to this day. That memory is burned into my brain for as long as i live. My train of thought went off course when i heard a knock on my door. I got up and walked away from the window to answer the door. Derpy Hooves, the messenger pegasus, was handing me my mail. "Hi Frost Bite! I have your mail right here." Derpy proceeded to hand me my mail while I had responded with, "Thank you very much, Derpy." I was shuffling through the mail to see that they were from relatives and friends. A sad frown came across my face. Derpy, after putting away the rest of the mail, looked up and saw my face. She said with a voice like silk, "Hey, what's wrong Frost?" "I just miss her a lot. It hurts from how much I miss her." I said. "Who do you miss?" She asked. "Pinkie. She was one of my only friends that I had talked to before i met you. I left without saying anything and since then I've been hesitant to go back to Ponyville. I'm not sure if she will forgive me. I told her. "Oh, I'm sure she will forgive you. She's Pinkie Pie, she always forgives everypony." "Thank you Derpy, I have a little bit more confidence now in returning." "You're about to go back?" "Yeah, tell Pinkie that I will be coming to Ponyville around like 3:00 PM." "Sure thing Frost Bite, I'll tell her when i pass her house," she answered. "Thanks, see ya 'round!!" i shouted as the blonde-maned pegasus flew away. I went back inside and relaxed as clock said 10:30 AM, "Man, she came early today." My home is standard for two ponies, but since nopony likes the cold as much as i do, at least from what i think, i'm the only one in the house. I sat down and started to think of how Pinkie Pie would react to me returning to Ponyville. Maybe she would throw a party like she always does, ain't no party like a Pinkie Pie party as i always say. Maybe she would tackle me with the biggest grin after not seeing me for a couple years. I have known Pinkie Pie since the first day that i went there for a few months after that one, treacherous, day occurred. A few years ago... Pinkie Pie, like most ponies know, is the one that talks to strangers first, so when i had arrived she had presented herself first before i spoke. "Hiya stranger, I'm Pinkie Pie and welcome to Ponyville!!" "Uh, hi Pinkie. Please I'm not in the mood for this right now." I wasn't very friendly at the time because I was depressed. "Is there any place that I can stay for a while? I'm an orphan, I used to have a family but something *sniffles* unfortunate happened." "Really? What happened??" Pinkie asked. I put my face in my hooves and broke down right in front of her, I felt weak that I did but I just couldn't hold it back. It hurt too much to remember and it hurt even more to explain to anypony. She immediately hugged me and said with a soothing voice, "It's okay, its okay." Pinkie Pie did everything in her power just to make me happy, and im glad that she did. I was happy to have met her! She enlightened me with her bright attitude and very delicious cupcakes, she showed me her best friends, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Fluttershy. She introduced me to them so quickly before I could even say anything, and she didn't even know my name yet. I had told her and only her what had happened to me as a young pegasus and why i was so depressed, and i never gained the courage to tell anypony else. "I should probably tell you my name, might as well start making some new friends if i'm gonna live here now, my name is Frost Bite, sorry i didn't tell you my name earlier, i was too depressed from my loss...." "It's alright, I knew how depressed you were by the look in your eyes, if you don't want to tell me what happened, I understand." Pinkie cooed. As a good friend, she had always checked up on me and consoled me when i was down. "I'm sorry Pinkie." I whispered, crying while running away. I felt so terrible for leaving since I kept having nightmares of that one day constantly becoming worse and worse, and the love and affection that Pinkie had shown me reminded me too much of- of them... I've always thought of moving back into Ponyville at some point. Way earlier before I ran away, I had thought about Pinkie's friends and told her, "Your friends seem nice, I'm just sad that I didn't speak when I met them. Oh well, I'm certain I'll meet them again soon." "Oh yeah! They are the best I've got! They always are happy to lend a helping hoof." She responded. Back at Frost Bite's home. I tried staying away from the Crystal Mountains, which is where I live now and is where the incident happened, but I absolutely love the cold so it's hard to stay away. The only problem is that it brings back painful memories of when I lost the two things closest to me: my parents. I didn't know i had fallen asleep, my dream, unfortunately, was of that terrible event. My dream, or i should say nightmare, was worse than the actual event itself, it was exactly as I remember, except instead of me unexpectedly walking in, I knew it was going to happen yet I could not stop myself from opening the front door... "AHH!! FUCK!!" I screamed while bolting upright. The explosion was twice as loud and had woke me with a start, and i was sweating. I had tears in my eyes and i was on the verge of breaking down. Putting my face in my hooves, the tears started to fall for 10 minutes. I thought to myself, Damn, you really don't want to leave me alone don't you. Why do you have to torture me like this, I know what happened and I'm ashamed that i couldn't prevent it. I recollected myself before looking at the clock. it said 2:00, "Shit, I gotta get going!!" i said while preparing to leave. Since the cold didn't really affect me, i didn't wear a jacket and since i have sub-zero temperature powers, unusual for a pegasus, i just started to depart from my home. Well Ponyville, here I come!
