Capper has been carrying a torch for Rarity ever since the Storm King's defeat. Now, at the behest of a friend, he vows to deliver her a Hearth's Warming surprise. Too bad he's never experienced winter before.

Written as an exchange story gift for my friend Nailah, with the premise: "Romance, preferred. Any pairing is fine, but I'm a big fan of Rarity and Capper."

This story's timeline is also continued into Season 8 by Twilight's Pirate School.

After spreading the world of the Storm King's demise, Tempest Shadow feels it is time to further atone for her role in his attrocities by leading an attack on Klugetown to liberate the slaves being imprisioned and sold there. After a rousing speech to convince Equestria's Royal Guard, and an appeal to Queen Novo's desire to make up for years and years of cowering in Seaquestria, an army of ponies and hippogriffs is ready to shatter Verko's hold on the town. With Tempest Shadow, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and the other five Element Bearers leading the charge, victory is all but assured.

What's more, two of the brave creatures among this army are about to have meetings that will significantly alter the course of their lives.

Princess Skystar has lived her entire life beneath the waves years after her people were driven into hiding by a monster known simply as "The Storm King" and given sanctuary by the undersea empire of Mu, her days spent under the tutelage of the ryu Manda and under the watchful eye of her mother, Queen Novo. One day, Skystar decides it is time to venture above the surface, after a fateful encounter with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, peaks her curiosity due to his grudge towards humankind. Upon venturing to the surface, assuming a human form, Skystar seeks to uncover the mysteries of Godzilla's hatred toward mankind as well as try to restore the kingdom her people once ruled... even if it means risking an encounter with the Storm King.

Down in Klugetown, they don't celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve like Equestria does. The residents of Klugetown don't do anything like the ponies do. And if you were someone who would call yourself a friend of ponies, you'd have a tough time making it in Klugetown, a place where a friend is a liability to one's health and fortune. Living in Klugetown required one to be smart, and it's not smart to have friends. Only stupid creatures have friends in Klugetown, which is when they start hoping they're lucky, because they have an uphill battle to stay afloat.

Whoever said it was better to be lucky than smart might have been on to something. Because a pony like her, you only meet that kind when you're lucky and stupid. And if you're smart, you'll realize it'll never happen and you should stop thinking about it.

But you didn't meet her and fall in love because you were smart.

Sequel

Departure

Long Description

It was an ordinary bit. Like all the others, bearing the face of the new Sovereign. No longer the naïve young alicorn Capper once knew. Older. Wiser. Aware now, of just what kind of a place Klugetown was. Aware of what Capper almost did.

A fitting thing for Capper to contemplate while ruminating over his past. While wondering what is to come. He would find out soon enough.

Continuity

Based on a couple of lines in and set in the past of Companion, though it is not a direct prequel.

Author's Note

I mean, I'm not the only viewer of the MLP movie to think that the implications of its depiction of Klugetown are kinda messed up, right?
