“Hey, Yosh!” cheered a youthful voice. “How are you doing?”
Yosh gripped the white cane in his right claw and glid it gently before him until he came upon where he knew the voice to be coming from.
“Hey, Snowdrop!” he cheered. “I thank you so much for helping me feel more comfortable in being totally blind.”
“Well,” she giggled. “There are other ways to see, right?”
The dragon-duckling laughed and nodded.
“Yep!” he cheered.
“Though…,” stated Snowdrop. “There is something I need to tell you.”
“What’s that?” asked Yosh.
FA-CHING!
“It is really I, Princess Luna, who have been guiding you in your dreams,” the mare with the dark-blue, flowing mane stated.
“What?” gasped Yosh as his cane slipped from his fingers.
Princess Luna used her magic to pick up the dragon-duckling’s cane and ease it back into his claw.
“I’m sorry,” she said. “I did not mean to deceive you.”
“So,” panicked Yosh. “Snowdrop isn’t real?”
Luna felt a tear form in her eye.
“Snowdrop was indeed real,” she said somberly. “She was the first who truly appreciated my night while illustrating to us the true gift of winter.”
“Was she blind?” Yosh inquired.
“She was,” replied Luna. “And, like you, she was capable of amazing things even without physical sight.”
“So…,” worried Yosh. “Now what?”
The Princess of the Night nodded.
“I know you have had difficulty in the real world coping with your situation,” she spoke. “I advise seeing the one known as Doodle Noodle.”
“Doodle Noodle?” wondered Yosh.
“Yes,” replied Luna. “She will be able to help you where I cannot.”
“And how will I find this ‘Doodle Noodle’?” he asked.
“I’ve left you her address on your night stand,” she replied. “It is in basic Braille and Spike will help you there.”
“Isn’t he back in Ponyville?”
“I’ve made arrangements for him to arrive in canterlot tomorrow morning,” she stated. “He knows he is to guide you to Doodle Noodle’s office.”
There was a brief pause.
“Luna…?” wondered Yosh. “What of the real Snowdrop?”
“My sister wrote a book of her exploits while I was… away,” she sighed. “If you are willing to work with Doodle Noodle, I shall take time to visit your dreams and tell you of her tale.”
“Promise…,” Yosh said with teary eyes.
“I promise,” she replied while gently putting a hoof upon Yosh’s shoulder.
“Then I’ll do it,” stated Yosh. “I will meet this Doodle Noodle and see what she can do to help me where these dreams may have not.”
“Good,” grinned Luna. “Then until tomorrow night.”
