Chocolate milk!

A new pony has arrived in Ponyville and Pinkie Pie sees a chance to make a new friend. Though this young mare is slightly different than the ones she has met so far. Will her Pinkie powers be enough to break through the shell of the newly arrived Snowflake or will she only make the situation worse?

For somepony that has never experienced friendship before the sudden appearance of Pinkie might just be too much.

The habits of a lifetime cannot be changed in an instant. Perhaps the seed of change can be planted, but it will take time and effort for it to grow. But of course, we have previously seen the persistence of Pinkie Pie. She does not simply allow a new friend to slip by.

462340 So true but the wish to change may just be strong enough to allow some ponies to make choices they normally wouldn't do. Pinkie Pie is quite a powerful seed, that is if she gets a chance to grow :pinkiehappy:

She's ... blind? That's depressing. And she's traveling with her sister but they got seperated? Or is her sister gone for some reason, and Snowflake's alone? That was a little vague. I would say go with Pinkie, but if she IS waiting for her sister then, for obvious reasons, wait for her sister. It wouldn't do to simply abandon your sister, especially when she's probably looking for you. Maybe ask Pinkie to wait with her for her sister?
Imho, I don't think you should create a story based entirely on reader's suggestions for the plot turns. I don't see anything wrong with asking for ideas, but it seems to me like you're giving the reader full control over where the story goes, and I personally am more a fan of the author writing what s/he wants to, and not relying on the audience. I gave you some because you asked, but don't feel obligated to go one way because it is what reader's want. After all, it is your story. Just my two cents.
Also, I think the concept's been done over and over, but I don't think I've ever heard of a blind pony being in that position. Or a blind pony ever. I will be watching this.

462427 Her sister lives in Ponyville :twilightsmile: Oh and it wasn't a choice about whether or not she should leave with Pinkie Pie but more of a choice of accepting her friendship or not. As for the reader's suggestion it was something I was curious about, personally I enjoy reading other peoples opinions and I myself was honestly unsure in which direction I would take the story. :twilightblush: Thanks for the feedback, I will try to be more clear when I write from now on. :pinkiehappy:

Ah that makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up. In that case, I see no reason why Snowflake shouldn't act at least cordially toward Pinkie. I don't see her as being able to completely open up, at least not instantly. Maybe with help from her sister, but certainly not by herself, especially if she's gone through the tough times you say she has.

I can understand why you took this approach towards this story, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by how it will affect it. In any case I wish you luck in your future writing!

462501 Thank you, that means a lot to me. :twilightsmile:

Interesting like the way this story is going.

Since were talking from the perspective of a voice that's in snows head that only knows as much as she does.

Old habits die hard and its understandable that moving to a new place so different than what your used to can be hard and a bit scary, but if she feels lonely then she should do something.

I say get to know pinkie better when the opportunity comes, then decide to be friends or not ( but we all know pinkie pie is innevitable:pinkiehappy:)

I like the story so far. I agree with Meliron that you should stretch the story out a little bit, maybe even have Snowflake share her troubles and memories with Pinkie. I'm also hoping that more of the Mane 6 will get involved

I vote for friendship. I think that it's fairly obvious that Snowflake's older sister is Octavia. Most fics portray Octavia as resentful towards Pinkie for ruining the Gala when she was working there. So if her younger sister were friends with Pinkie, then that would make for a lot of potential drama.

I think she should accept the friendship. but probably with some more trepidation in her decision. (yes I finally got to use that word in a sentence!)
