Frozen Shadows Chapter 2 Preview "Taking Sides" · 5:31am Feb 25th, 2016
Hi all! *waving* Look for Chapter Two of Frozen Shadows to be released early tomorrow morning (Pacific Time). For those in the rest of the world (Askre, Pixel_Spark, etc.) in about 11 hours from the release of this blog. And I'm sorry (but not too terribly sorry), it isn't going to be wrapped up in two chapters like I originally promised. That's probably a good thing if you like Derpy and Dr. Whooves who I find very enjoyable and easy to write for *grin!*. As I worked on this chapter, I realized it had so much potential and needed more care and feeding of the characters and story than two chapters could do it justice.
So here is your preview. Sorry it's so short, the chapter is not terribly long:
“Your ship doesn't like me,” she told the Doctor and his companion.
The Doctor and Derpy turned to her, surprised. “She likes everypony!” the Time Lord countered. “Well, except Cyberponies, Daleks and anypony that tries to kill me or doesn't like me...” he eyed her suspiciously. “You perchance don't either dislike or want to kill me, do you?”
“Not yet, Doctor,” she replied. “unless you give me a reason to, of course.”
He looked askance at her, concerned there was a caveat to her friendliness she so honestly admitted to. “Yes, well, that is good to know.” He looked sharply at Luna's night guard. “What about you?”
“Sounds like a reasonable set of exceptions to me,” he agreed with Nyx. Nyx fought an urge to smirk at the remark and failed.
“Great!” Derpy muttered as the Doctor turned back to her. “this is going to be a fun trip!”
“I guess I'll just have to be on my best behavior then, won't I?” he announced to them. Then, to Derpy in a low voice, “You'll make sure I'm on my best behavior, won't you?”
“That all depends on you, Doctor,” she informed him.
