"Hey everypony, how's it going?" I was given strange looks, probably cause of my voice being so deep, even Pinkie Pie stared at me, dumbfounded.
"Jeez, Frostie, your voice sure has gotten deeper!" Pinkie shouted in amazement.
I blushed at that name, I knew that Pinkie was the only pony that ever called me that name. "Heh, yeah it has. I see you brought your friends too. Do you mind re-introducing me to them? I can actually talk to them this time," I said to Pinkie.
"Well, lets see if you can remember their names."
"Alright, I'll try my best, we are gonna see if I still remember what you told me all those years ago." I nudged Pinkie playfully.
Staring and starting from Rarity, i went from left to right calling each of their names out.
"You must be the generous Rarity, if i'm not mistaken," I said.
"The one and only," she responded.
"Honest Applejack?" I asked.
"You bet yer' britches," she happily responded.
I joked and said, "I don't wear pants," and got a laugh out of everypony.
"The super kind Fluttershy, who tamed a Manticore, a ferocious and deadly beast." i stated.
Softly, Fluttershy said "Uh-huh"
I had said to her with a smirk, "You don't have to be so shy around me, I don't bite, so long as you're on my good side.
"That's how she normally is, but once she gets to know you, she will start to talk more." said a random voice from behind me.
I turned around with "I'm certain i would've figured that out at some point, Rainbow Dash. From what I've heard, one word can simply describe you. Awesome."
"Yeah it's true, I am awesome," Rainbow boasted.
"I don't believe you, care to prove it?" I challenged her with that remark.
"Oh, you're on!! Not even a split second after saying that, she took to the skies. Rainbow dash flew through a cloud pulling down raindrops in her wake and then stopped right in front of me and let the water hit her as a rainbow had formed over her back."That enough proof for you?"
i chuckled and blew a soft breeze at the holographic rainbow, it froze in an instant and fell on Rainbow's back before hitting the ground and breaking.
"How 'bout that, huh?" everypony stared at me weird, and, once again, so did Pinkie Pie.
"What? Did i forget to say that i can freeze things and make snowballs from water?" All of their jaws dropped to the floor.
"Heh whoops, yeah, i forgot to say a lot. But before i do that, the magical Twilight Sparkle and the laughable Pinkie Pie. Forgot to say those two names."
"So, you had forgotten to say some things?"
"Oh right right, alright everypony take a seat." All had sat down.
i commenced speaking,
"Yeah, so, you all sorta know me. The one who knows me the most here is Pinkie since i lived with her for a while before running away, ill get to that reason and the cause of it shortly. I don't know what Pinkie has told you, but i'm certain she told you what I've told her, about how i was too depressed at my loss to talk to the rest of you. Believe it or not, i actually had gotten my cutie mark after i had left Ponyville that one day. If i hadn't saved Derpy from that frozen lake, she would've died. i was walking back to the Crystal Mountains in tears 'cause of the nightmares that i kept having and the fact that i didn't have the courage to tell anypony that i was leaving. I was about halfway back to the Crystal Mountains when i saw and heard a foal walking on thin ice, literally. i heard the ice creaking and i knew nothing good would come of it. Right before i could say anything, the ice cracked and she fell straight in. I started panicking and tried thinking of ways to help her, her screams of terror were piercing right through me-."
"The reason Derpy is still alive is because you saved her?" Fluttershy questioned me.
"Yes, Derpy is still alive because of me, i took a very desperate measure to get her. i saw her start to sink, i screamed "NOOOO!!!" and dove in after her. To my surprise, the water, was not freezing cold, in fact it didn't affect me at all and i could open my eyes underwater and see clearly, i rescued her from the water and pulled her offshore to a warmer place. i put her on the ground and made sure she was still breathing, so i put my ear to her chest and didn't hear anything at all. Not a single sound. My heart sank, and i screamed "NO! I WILL NOT LOSE YOU!" and started doing chest compressions to get the water out of her lungs for 10-30 minutes. I had no way of keeping track of time. I could hardly see since my eyes were welling up with tears, but I heard her cough, and i felt her chest suddenly kick. She turned over and coughed all the water out before gasping for air with a shaky breath. She turned around and looked at me for a second before immediately hugging me and whispering into my ear,"
"Thank you for saving my life."
"She told me that her name was Derpy Hooves, and she's been my friend ever since, I also think that is the main reason why she delivers me mail directly to me and not to my mail box, heh. With my sudden discovery of how the cold does not affect me whatsoever, my cutie mark showed up as three snowflakes of different sizes, and I, somehow, was given the powers of sub-zero temperatures. Which is pretty cool if you ask me. I'm part of the winter weather team and i deal with all of the blizzards and cold fronts since nopony else can deal with the extreme cold, and with the fact that i was given those powers, it makes it easy to push away all of the blizzards and cold fronts away from Equestria."
"That is amazing!" Twilight shouted.
"Alright, now i know you guys are anxious to hear about why I was super depressed the first time i was here, but throat is kinda dry right now... I can show another trick too if you bring me a warm drink that is supposed to be cold" Pinkie Pie was snapped out of her trance from my last word and she ran to the kitchen to get me some Cider, and like I said, it was warm. i grabbed the mug and made a crackling sound from it, no one knew what happened, but they saw a trail of ice steam travel from my chest to the mug instantly freezing my drink. I held it upside-down to prove that it was frozen, and then i took my hoof off of it and it liquified itself again.
"Eh? What do you guys think?"
"Bedazzling!" Rarity shouted.
"I can't think of a word better than awesome, I'm just speechless!" Rainbow Dash screamed.
"Super-duper-amaze-a-riffic!" Pinkie Pie shouted with glee.
"That's stupendous!" Stated Twilight.
"Well, now ah've seen everythin'" Applejack Chuckled.
"Frost Bite, that was unbelievable!" Shouted Fluttershy.
I laughed,"Alright, alright, I think i've had enough praise for one day heh," and then i got really serious,
"Okay everypony, get settled in, and prepare for anything.. i'm not sure what will come of my actions or emotions when i tell this. i could already feel the tears starting to build up. I took a deep breath, and began the story,
Okay, i was about 10 when this happened, so six years ago the two things that i loved in the world the most were taken away from me: my parents, and i almost joined them... As a young pegasus, I always loved the cold and snow and I still do now, obviously. My original name was Waterfall, but since my parents realized how much i loved the cold air and snow, they decided to rename me Frost Bite. i really liked it cause it totally fits me you know? Haha! Anyway, i was enjoying a normal day outside in the snow making snow ponies and snow angels... and then that moment came. I was called inside cause it was getting dark outside, and they had closed the door. So I walked up to the door, opened it and all of a sudden, BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!"
"AAAAH!!" Fluttershy screamed at the sudden yell I made.
"Did i startle you? I'm sorry. Ahem, so out of nowhere this deafening, fiery, blinding explosion came out of my house and threw me out of the doorway and knocking me completely unconscious before i even hit the ground. I don't know how much time passed before I gained consciousness. I was hurting everywhere, I could hardly open my right eye, and I had burn marks everywhere on me when i woke up, I saw the house on fire and started screaming in pain and crying "MOM!!! DAD!!! NOOO!!!!" The paramedics showed up and saw that i was burnt badly and took me to the hospital in Ponyville. I didn't keep still cause i wanted to see my parents, but little did i know, they were dead when the house exploded and they never found out what caused it. They put me under a sleep medicine and treated my wounds. As you can see they have fully healed, however there is one that hasn't healed as fast."
"Wh-why couldn't you open your right eye?" Fluttershy asked with a quivering voice.
"I'm about to show you," I told them.
I moved my hair from my right eye and everypony gasped when they saw that I had a huge slice mark going from my forehead to my right cheek. It looked as if it was a fresh wound even though it was just a scar, a scar that will stay with me for a long time. I saw Fluttershy put her hoof over her mouth and her eyes get really watery, she looked like she was on the verge of breaking down.
"Damn Frost! What happened?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"The doctor said that when the explosion had knocked me back and unconscious, a piece of the door came flying out and hit me at just the right time to not kill me, i was *this* close to dying. They only knew it because they saw a large piece of wood where my body had left its landing imprint. The sharp end had blood on it. I was very lucky that my head was tilted back and that door piece just cut from my cheek upwards. I couldn't open my right eye at all, and it was bleeding a lot." Fluttershy couldn't take it anymore and she just broke down, i went over and hugged her saying,
"It's okay Flutter-"
i choked on my last word and broke down too from all of the painful memories. I heard words of condolence from everypony, and it sounded like they were all choked up too. i took a few seconds to look around and all of them had tears in their eyes.
I heard a soft voice saying, "Frost, how come when you came to Ponyville, you only talked to Pinkie and then left without telling anypony?"
"Could you give me a *hic* minute?"
"Sure." Rarity said.
i took a few minutes to recollect myself and tried to talk steadily,
"I had only talked to Pinkie because she was the only one that came to me the day that i showed up, and even though i told her that i was not in the mood to talk to anyone and broke down in front of her, she stayed with me and held me til i stopped. She took me into her place with no objections or anything, so i only had the courage to talk to her. Every night that i was there, I kept having nightmares about my parents constantly dying in that explosion and i actually had one earlier today before i came here and it hit me the worst, but didn't have lasting effects on me. When i had the nightmares i woke with tears in my eyes and it affected me more worse and worse every day. The love and affection that Pinkie Pie had shown me while i was with her reminded me too much of my parents, so i left. i never thought that i would return again until Derpy had come to my house and delivered my mail. The nightmare i had earlier today was twice as bad as the unfortunate event itself because the explosion was twice as big, completely destroying the house and crushing me with debris. I had woken with a start and screamed "AHHHH FUCK!!" Pardon my language. I had tears in my eyes just ready to come out, and i was sweating profusely, then i just buried my face in my hooves and cried for 10 minutes before heading over."
Everypony was staring at me with looks of sympathy and sadness. i reacted with,
"Please, don't look at me like that you're gonna mak-" i choked on the last word again and collapsed on the floor in tears, but this time everypony else was also crying.
"i can't hold back any longer. Somepony needs to fucking help me, this shit has followed me all of my life, taunting me, haunting me, and i can't leave it behind no matter how hard i try. I've even thought of committing suicide!" Everypony gasped and cried even more.
I heard pleads and cries among the lines of, "Please don't commit suicide. Please. Don't."
"But I would never forgive myself if I never saw you guys and said my final goodbyes. That's why I came here, to say goodbye. But I just can't do it. I can't leave you all like that, so i've decided to stay in Ponyville for the rest of my life."
With that being said, i was suddenly surrounded by everypony and then smashed in a giant group-hug. Pinkie Pie took it the hardest.
"Frostie, why? Why would you think of such a thought?"
"I just wanted to leave it all behind, but when I came here and saw how happy y'all were to see me, I just couldn't bring myself to do it." We broke off from our massive group hug as we all tried to recollect ourselves for 10 minutes. Mostly everypony had stopped crying.
"Alright, have we all stopped crying?" I looked around and nopony had tears.
I turned to Pinkie Pie, "I'm sorry for even thinking about that."
"It's okay, I'm happy you changed your thoughts." Pinkie nudged my side as i was wiping another tear from my eye and I fell over from not expecting it. We all busted into a loud fit of laughter.
