==PLOT SUMMARY==

After Snowdrop had created the first winter snowflake, other pegasi learned to carve on the snow as well. With their vision as an advantage, they were able to create much more beautiful carvings on their snowflakes. Snowdrop was very frustrated at this, because she couldn't improve her own work with blind eyes.

One day by chance, she had a small talk with Princess Luna, and told her that she had always wanted to wish upon the stars that she could see the world. Luna, who cared so much about her little friend, promised that she would do whatever she could to realize Snowdrop's wish.

Surely, she couldn't cure her blindness. But being the Princess of the Night, she had her own way to open that little filly's eyes to a wide and colorful world, even though she wasn't fully prepared for such arcane magic that manipulates the dreamscape.

Nopony could have foreseen what that promise would eventually cause...

It has been many months since Snowdrop first introduced the snowflake to the world and changed the face of winter forever. Though life had improved for the blind filly, her mind is now plagued with questions and doubt.
Much like a certain pony.

Snowdrop has led a happy life as a mother, teacher and snow maker for Equestria. But now at the ripe old age of ninety seven, a retired Snowdrop takes a trip to Canterlot at the invitation of a school teacher who wishes for the old blind mare to talk about her life being blind and creating the beautiful stars of winter.

Nearing the end of her days, Snowdrop takes the time to be with her family and friends, visiting Princess Celestia, returning to her old school and lamenting the loss of her best friend. Accompanied by her granddaughter, Snowdrop makes the best of what she can with the little time she has left.

Twilight Sparkle's coronation was just over a month ago. Organizing Winter Wrap-Up back in Ponyville kept the longing questions of what she was to do next at the back of her mind for a while, but now that's passed as well. Spring is here, and everything seems the same...

Princess Celestia knows that they could be facing a big problem if they cannot figure out how to create more of Snowdrop's special stars. She devises a plan which seems somewhat absurd -- go back in time and retrieve the little filly, then bring her back to the present time, over a thousand years past where she belonged. Her faithful student and newest princess, Twilight Sparkle, seems like just the pony for the job. If she keeps Twilight and Snowdrop together, the new alicorn might just learn a thing or two.

The magic required to pull off the feat will be difficult, but it's their only chance. Celestia begins to write a letter to call her old student to Canterlot, hoping she will be up to the task.

This story is inspired by and based around the tale of Snowdrop, a blind filly who changed how everypony thought of winter on the centennial anniversary of the Princess' rule over Equestria, at the 100th Spring Sunrise. The idea of Snowdrop was taken from Silly Filly Studios' fantastic fan animation of the same name, which can be found here.

Some parts of Chapter 3 are somewhat sad, but I intend for most of this story to be fun and happy, and will not be tagging it as a sad fic. The scenario in which the majority of the story (which begins in Chapter 4) kind of required this sad portion to be put in. Some of the recollection of Snowdrop's tale in Chapter 2 is purposely inaccurate (This is partially explained in Chapter 3).

This is the first time I've ever ventured down the path of writing fanfiction, so I apologize if it's not up to snuff. I feel like I write too much. Do I write too much? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Snowdrop, a young blind filly meets Icy Mist, a young disabled pegasus that moved to Cloudsdale. As they become closer, she unravels a certain secret that he begs her not to tell others. Can she save Icy from his father?

Snowdrop heard the twinkling in the stars in the dead of night. A sound which none other could hope to comprehend and, in her saddest moment, a single tear froze on her cheek. Down in swirled with the snow until it clicked into her hoof... And she heard it. The faint twinkle of a star.

Snowdrop's time came and went like every other pony in Equestria, but she left behind a gift of unsurpassed beauty: the glorious and intricate snowflake. But she left behind something else as well, the ever gentle and timid Snow Sparkle. Sparkle can't hear the twinkling of the snow or the stars, but she can see more than anypony. She can see how they sparkle.
