As they left the paved streets of Maretime Bay, and began stepping onto the dirt path that lead up to the Crystal Brighthouse, Flurry was initially worried that the dirt would mar her brand new hooficure, but Pipp immediately reassured her that the top coat would certainly protect against such surfaces.
As they were coming up to the Brighthouse, Flurry caught a glimpse of Izzy on the top floor, who seemed to spot them down on the ground and immediately zipped back downstairs.
"I wonder what she's up to," Pipp commented as they came up to the front door. She pushed it open, and the pair of ponies trotted in just in time to see Izzy come down the elevator.
"Well, look at you!" Izzy said, looking excitedly down at Flurry's makeover. "Pipp sure did a number on you, Flurry. You look fantastic!"
"Thanks, I feel fantastic," Flurry replied with a smile as they came up to the second floor.
"I'm so glad Pipp was able to keep you out for a little bit, it was all the time I needed!" Izzy said.
"Well, I did what I can, what can I say?" Pipp replied, shrugging her shoulders.
"Keep me out? Wait, what's going on, you two?" Flurry asked.
"Oh, I've been cooking up a little surprise, and I just needed a little bit more time, so I asked Pipp to keep you out of the Brighthouse for just a little bit longer while I made one more trip and got everything set up. Come on up, you'll see!" Izzy said, waving them forward to the elevator.
Somewhat intrigued, Flurry followed alongside Pipp up to the elevator, and stepped on with her. It was a five-second up to the top floor, and Flurry's eyes immediately widened when she saw what the unicorn had been up to while she was out getting a phone and makeover.
The first thing that stood out to her was the a-frame easel that had been set up with a large white canvas set up on it, with several sheets in reserve neatly stacked over near the wall. Right next to that was a small end table with all manner of brushes and paints, along with colored pencils and pens.
Across from that, her sleeping bag and mattress pad had been upgraded to a full-on elevated cot, and it already looked much more comfortable than what she had been using. Next to her cot, a nightstand had been set up, with a small table lamp and a charging dock for her phone.
"Sunny let me know how much you loved painting, so she asked me to make your spot up here a little more homely," Izzy explained, as Flurry slowly got off the elevator and took in her new third floor, open-air bedroom. Flurry looked down at her phone and saw that her use during her salon treatment hadn't even drained it by a quarter yet, so she'd likely wait until tonight to charge it overnight.
"I mean... I don't know what to say other than... Wow. Thank you so much, Izzy. New phone, new makeover, new cot, new art set... I've almost got too much to choose from," Flurry said, turning to the unicorn with a smile.
"Well, that certainly beats not having enough to do. I just figured that with all these new surroundings and technologies, that you could probably use some old hobbies to fall back to," Izzy replied.
"I've got plenty of daylight here, so I think that's exactly what I'll do," the alicorn told her, as she approached the easel, and started to inspect the various brushes and drawing implements.
"I know art takes awhile, so I'll leave you to it, and I'll let you know when it's time for dinner. I'm cooking tonight!"
this has been going since AUGEST? I read the series after then, and I never saw this one! I was always super bummed thinking we weren't ever going to get a fic based off of the alternative ending of the frozen north. Thank god i saw this on the featured tab.
a sweet chapter i love it.
Seems like she's officially a new resident of the bright house by the looks of it.
So it looks like they're about to return to the lighthouse and Izzy is been really busy setting up something special for flurry heart and apparently she set up a room for her a bed and her hobby of painting which that's pretty awesome of her to do that I like that that's really nice I wonder what else could happen guess we'll find out next time
I would say if you want to keep the story Slice of Life. You could always do a Time skip.
The next scene could be Flurry at her first Gallery showing, in Bridlewood. This way Flurry could interact with some secondary characters, and original characters in Bridlewood, and not be so focused on the Brighthouse Gang.
Maybe a budding awkward relationship of two older individuals, in the form of Applebidal, and Flurry?
Or if you want to go low-key Adventure.
Flurry with be needed to embark on a diplomatic mission to a community of Nightponies. Who have been secretly spying on all three of the other pony communities for a very long time in the Shadows of the Night, and now that they've seen one of the legendary alicorns, they're willing to reach out a cautious hoof in friendship.
Just a couple of ideas, that I hope are inspiration.
I’ll think a few ideas for you to explore. It would be sad to see this being a small series it’s fine to take a break from this story to finished Sunset’s if you wanted too.
Flurry wanted to do art is a very nice touch
Izzy's so thoughtful.
That was so sweet of Izzy!
I kinda want to see what will happen when she meets misty and opaline, but also to kinda want to link this with the first ending on the sunset story that was linked in the alternate version of the ending of frozen North
Hey there. Thanks very much for getting this chapter up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. The exchanges, characterization and future chapter set-up are all wonderfully done. Definitely enjoyed Izzy providing Flurry with her own art supplies. And, yeah, Izzy had some points about how having a low tech hobby that she knows only too well could be very helpful.
As for other ideas for later:
1. (as was pointed out by at least one other reviewer) Flurry could do a little light reading while reflecting on what she recalls of her Aunt Twilight and her friends (including Sunset Shimmer, as a nod to this being an alternate timeline branching off from Sunset's return to Equestria after graduating from Canterlot High [in this case, Sunset returned during Twilight's time as ruler of Equestria]).
2. After Sparky hatches, Flurry could help out with dragon-sitting while wondering what happened to the other dragons.
3. Flurry could meet and adopt a Pegasnail.
4. (as was pointed out by other reviewers) Flurry could have a couple of low-key adventures involving finding and re-establishing diplomatic ties with the Bat-Ponies, Sea Ponies and surviving Changelings.
and 5. Flurry can help Izzy and Zipp build the Marestream (adding actual comfortable seats for herself and the others, complete with seat belts - including two extra seats (one for Sparky as he is now [a child safety seat] and another for when Sparky is older)
But, well, I can also understand you taking a "think break" to come up with your own ideas.
At any rate, certainly looking forward to more of this, but quite willing to be patient.
Izzy is very creative and this new chapter is great, I like it!

Incorrect. I'm not talking about the article of clothing, but the coat of hoof polish that is, well, on top.

Okay. Did you do anything on Thanksgiving?

Cooked a 20 lb turkey.

That sounds good. I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on Tv. Then me and my family just drive around town because all the stores and fast food restaurants are closed. Except a McDonald's at North Quincy so we ordered our food at the drive thru. Ate a bit and exercise on the track field next to the YMCA. I had a great time.
Flurry Heart has been nearly installed! She'll make an excellent Zordon in the Brighthouse.

GO GO PONY RANGERS!
"Glorious 90s cheese intensifies"
You had asked for ideas for Flurry Hearts to do. One thing she could do is go exploring to find out what happened to the other inhabitants of the planet that she know of, but apparently are no longer around (such as dragons and griffons)
Cute story so far, hopefully it isn't over just yet, lol. As for things to do with Flurry, you did have Opaline and Misty show up but left them dangling, so I hope Flurry will have some sort of interaction with them in this story.
hhmmmmmmmm😏
