//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: 4 Seasons // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// Apple Bloom was just sitting on the porch, enjoying the sun on a winter day of her winter vacation. She had smile on her face, no school and no Diamond Tiara to make fun of her and her friends that they didn’t have any cutie marks. Unfortunately, the vacation isn’t going to last, it had to come to an end eventually. She let out a sad sighed when she thought about that. She was about to go inside when the wind started to pick up. “That’s weird, there’s no storm today.” The wind started to pick up even more and then all of sudden three ponies appeared in front of her, it was Wintres and two of her sisters. Then of them, the one with pink fur, started to waggle away from her sisters. Apple Bloom watch as she had trouble standing. “Seriously? You have still problem with this.” Autumns said to Springs “I can’t help it.” Springs said as she waggled towards the house and her world was spinning. Autumns couldn’t help but shock her head as she walked to the house, Wintres couldn’t help but smile. Apple bloom watch as the two sister walked towards her. “Hello Apple Bloom, how are you this day?” Winters asked her. “I’m good.” Apple Bloom looked at Springs who pump her head into the house. “What’s wrong with Springs?” She asked the two sisters. “Don’t worry, she always have trouble when other are teleporting her, she is fine when she does it herself.” Wintres looked at her little sister who was lying in the snow. “We are not sure why it’s happened.” She looked back at Apple Bloom. “Is your sister here?” Apple Bloom nodded. “Yeah, is inside cleaning up the dishes with Summers.” “Our big sister is here?” Wintres asked with surprised in her voice. “Yes, she was pretty upset yesterday so Applejack let her stay her. I think it because what happened yesterday and with something ells.” She then shrugged her shoulder “I think.” Wintres and Autumns knew exactly what why, Summers still felt bad for happened a thousand years ago and they don’t blame her. Celestia was her best friend and she used her. Then the door opened, Applejack and Summers walked out. Summers froze when she saw her sister. “Wintres, Autumns. What are you two doing her?” Summers asked them. “Hey, don’t forget about me.” Said a third voice. Summers and Applejack looked where Springs where lying. “Why is your sister lying in the snow? Applejack asked the sisters. “She have trouble with teleportation, she ok when she does it by herself, but she always become dizzy when other do it.” Wintres told her. Applejack decided not to ask anymore. “If you say so.” She looked at Wintres. “Are you here for what we agreed to?” She asked the winter alicorn. Wintres nodded. “Good, I am on my way to town now to get them. it shouldn’t take long.” “Take your time Applejack.” AJ looked at her little sister. “Do you want to come alone?” Apple Bloom shrugged her shoulder. “Sure, I’ll see if Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo wants to do something.” With that said, the Apple sister went to Ponyville leaving he four alicorn sister alone. Summers looked at two of her sisters. “Are you two still mad at me?” She asked them. “We are still mad at you.” That made Summers fold her ears. “But you are still out sister and we should forgive you it is Celestia’s fault not yours. We are just a little slow to realized it.” Winters told her and Autumns nodded in agreement. Summers was surprised of what her sister said. “Where did that come from?” Autumns and Wintres looked their fourth sister, who had managed to stand up thanks to the world had finally stop spinning. “Springs mention that we are sister and that means something, we forgive you Summers.” Wintres told her sister. Summers couldn’t help but smile, she never though that they would forgiver. “I love you all.” Before Wintres and Autumns could react, the older sister gave them a hug. Wintres didn’t mind but Autumns, wasn’t that keen when it comes to hugs. Then Springs walked towards her sister and saw that they were hugging. “What’s going on?” Summers let go of Wintres and Autumns, she then gave Springs a hug. Which she returned. “What did I do to deserve this?” She asked her big sister. “For being who you are.” Summers let go of her sister. “And talking to your sister about me, I appreciate it.” Springs just gave Summers a smile. “Don’t mention it, I guess we have to wait until Applejack arrive with the rest of elements.” And so, they did. Three of them decided to ask Summers what she had been doing all these years, she told them that she had been traveling around the planet helping ponies, griffons, dragons and many other species with different problems. She also had taken on different jobs over the years, she had been a doctor, teacher, waitress and many other jobs. Wintres and her sister couldn’t help but feel proud over what Summers had done, she really wanted to atone for what she did to Luna. They couldn’t also help but feel guilty for ignoring her for all these years, Summers wasn’t mad at them for that, she understand why they did it. It didn’t help much but a little. When they were done talking, they saw Applejack walking towards them with four new ponies which they knew were the new elements. Autumns study them, her eyes landed on the unicorn which was new elements of generosity. “So, that’s them, doesn’t look that special to me.” Spring couldn’t help but agree. “I understand what you mean, what wrong with laughter? She is just smiling.” She then looked at the rest, loyalty look arrogant, kindness look scared and generosity looked like she cared more about her look. “They don’t look that impressive.” Then the sisters heard them talking. “Why did you drag us here so early AJ? I was having a nice dream.” Said Rainbow Dash. Applejack stood not far from the sister and turned to face her friends. “Early? It’s past then ten in the morning Dash, you are just a lazy pony.” Dash just rolled her eyes. “And the reason why I ‘drag’ you all here is because you four didn’t believe me when I told you that an alicorn saved my life.” “Really? You got me out of bed just because of that?” Dash asked with a boring look. “I am leaving.” Dash was about to fly off. “You are not going anywhere.” Wintres stomp her foot into the ground. Then ice started to form around Dash’s feet, the ice stopped when it had reached her ankles. Dash tried to break free of the ice, but it was no good. “You are staying here, and you are going to listen to Applejack.” Said Wintres as she walked towards them. “You four is supposed to Applejack’s best friends but I saw that none of you believe her, or even care.” She looked at Pinkie for that last part. As Wintres approached them, they all could feel the cold, it was like their blood was going to be frozen to ice. “What do you want?” Said Rarity in a scare tone. “I am here to make sure that you won’t take Applejack for granted anymore.” Wintres stop not far from them and then she closed her eyes, her horn started to glow. Her sisters stared to smile when they felt the wind pick. “Oh, this is going to be good.” Said Springs with a big smile on her face. Rarity, Pinkie, Dash and Fluttershy started to get very worried that the wind started to pick up like that, Dash tried to break free again, but she was frozen in her place. Then wind form around Wintres and the next thing, the unicorn was replaced by an alicorn. Wintres opened her eyes and looked at the four shocked ponies. “Do you still think that Applejack is lying?” They tried to speak but no word came out. “I’ll take that as a no.” Rarity was the first one to recover at shock they just witness. “If you are an alicorn, what about those three over there?” Rarity asked while looking at Wintres sister, who was standing not far from them. “They are my sisters but considering you didn’t believe your friend I think you will believe me.” Wintres look over to Summers and the twins. “Would you three mind?” She asked them. They looked at each other. “I don’t mind, what about you two?” Springs asked Autumns and Summers, they both shock their heads. “Alright then, let’s do this.” They all walked over to Wintres. Applejack, who had watch the whole thing, decided to take few steps back. She knew what was going to happened, it was going to get very windy. When they were standing beside Wintres, the three sister closed their eyes and their horns started to glow. As with Wintres, the wind started to pick up and before they knew it, three new alicorns was standing beside the winter alicorn. That was all Rarity could take, her eyes roll up in her head and she passed out in the snow, to Springs amusement. Pinkie and Fluttershy just started at them, wondering what just happened. While Dash, she tried to make sure it didn’t bother her, at all. She snorted. “You are all alicorns, big deal.” Wintres and her sister could hear that she was just acting. Autumns looked at Wintres. “The element of loyalty has a big ego I don’t remember you having that.” “That’s because I didn’t.” Wintres walk over to Dash, who felt it getting colder as she the alicorn got closer. Wintres stop when they were face to face. “So, you don’t think it’s a big deal that we are all alicorns, maybe I should turn you into an ice statue and place you in front of Applejack’s farm as a trophy.” Wintres look at the farm pony. “What do you think Applejack? Where do you want her?” Applejack walked over to them while ‘thinking.’ “I am not sure, maybe on the roof of my house, she would look good there.” Dash’s eyes widen. “What the hell are you doing AJ? You can’t be serious?” “I am, you didn’t believe me when I told you that Wintres saved me and now you are acting like jerk, I am very serious.” Dash started to sweat, but they froze on her fur thanks to Wintres. “I am sorry, ok? I will never doubt you words again.” Applejack look into her eyes and she was telling the truth, she then look at the rest of her friends. “What about you all? Are you going to believe me in the future?” They all nodded, Rarity to who had recovered, also nodded. “Good.” She looked back at Dash. “I think this one can stay like this for a while, she deserve it.” Dash’s eyes widen even more when she heard that. Wintres smiled. “Excellence choice Applejack, the spell will disappeared in an hour or so. Just so you know loyalty, I am the only one who can remove the ice, if anyone ells use magic on it the ice will grow until it’s have covert you completely.” Dash become very anxious when she heard that. Wintres looked at her sister. “You girls want to take a walk through Ponyville? I want to see how the ponies react to us.” Summers walked over to her. “Are you sure that’s wise Wintres? Celestia may come.” “Good, let her come I am sick of hiding, I think it’s time for the ponies in Equestria to find out that we exist.” She looked at her sisters. “Who’s with me?” All her sister agreed with her, it was about time they knew who they were. So, with that settled. They headed into Ponyville with Applejack and her friends, except Dash, who was still stuck in ice. “Hey, you can’t leave me like this.” She tried to break free again, but it was no use. “I’ll get you for this Applejack.”
