After what seemed like a mere few minutes, the super duper party pony Pinkie Pie, had conjured up a massive party in the middle of Ponyville. There were games, music so loud the houses all look as though they’d just fall, courtesy of a The Dj Pon3, there was also multiple different baked goods and bowls of punch. After the party had kicked off, the residents of Ponyville began to chat with the Quartet. Winter was dancing and chatting with Pinkie and a few other ponies. Tundra was hanging with Twilight, the two bookworms discussing something book related, even asking about the Mare of the Moon. Glacier was chatting with Spike. The young dragon was having a blast chatting with another dragon, glad to not be the only dragon in Ponyville. Arctic, on the other hand, wasn’t really hanging with anypony. All of the ponies of Ponyville where still apprehensive to talk to him, as well as Glacier. While they do believe that they’re both good, especially after the display the Element Bearers put on, they were still unsure. Although, there was one pony who was brave enough to at least try talking to him.
Arctic was sitting on a bench with a cupcake in hand just watching everyone do their thing, when he heard a voice next to him.
“Um, excuse me.” It said.
Arctic looked over and spotted a tiny filly. In terms of height, she was quite short. She came up to about his knee. She sported a yellow coat with white Overo markings. Her mane and tail were a vibrant shade of red with her mane tied into a ponytail. She had bright blue eyes and a big pink bow in her mane.
“Uh, hello there.” Arctic said slightly raising an eyebrow. He wasn’t really expecting one of the Ponyville ponies to come up to him, let alone a little filly.
“Ahm Applebloom. What’s yer name?” Said the filly.
Arctic could tell the little filly was nervous, if not scared, but trying to put up a brave front. He smiled a bit admiring the little filly’s bravery.
“My name’s Arctic Okami. But you can call me Arctic.” He said holding out his fist to the little filly.
Applebloom flinched back slightly, staring at Arctic’s fist. Eventually it clicked with her what he was doing and she put out her hoof giving him a hoof bump.
“So you’re Applebloom huh?” Arctic asked.
“Y..Yeah.” Applebloom said cautiously.
“Applejack told me and my siblings about you. She said you were the best little sister in all of Equestria.” Arctic said with a broad smile.
Applebloom’s face brightened up at that.
“She said that?” She asked.
“Yup she did.” Arctic said.
Applebloom just beamed. She was so happy to hear that, even though she knew she was best little sister in all of Equestria. Feeling a bit more comfortable and confident, Applebloom hopped onto the bench and looked up to Arctic.
“Uh, could yah tell me what yah are? Ah’ve never seen anythin’ like yah before.” Applebloom said.
Arctic chuckled and told Applebloom what he was which made her just stop and stare at him. She was so still, she looked like she was a statue. Eventually Applebloom began to speak again.
“Y..you’re really an alien?”
“Eeyup.” Arctic said, mimicking the way he heard Applejack say “yup”. He liked it, thinking it was an odd way to say that, but liking it nonetheless.
“Woah.” Applebloom said.
Behind the pair, there were four eyes watching, hidden in some bushes. The eyes were wide in both fear and amazement. Eventually one of the pair of eyes vanished before a filly’s head popped out of the bushes loudly saying, “An alien?!”
Looking back Arctic said a filly. She saw him look to her. She sheepishly shied away before slowly making her way to him. Then another filly emerged from the bushes following the first. Arctic smiled slightly as he took in the two fillies.
One was a Pegasus filly, the one shouted. Her orange coat had deep purple sock marking over her forelegs and hind-legs. She wing’s feathers and her tail feathers were mixes of white and purple. Her mane and tail were a deep shade of eggplant purple. Her eyes were a light shade of purple. She also had a few bandages on her legs, nose, and one on her cheek.
The other filly was a Unicorn. Her coat was white with gray sock markings on her legs. Her mane and leonine tail were curly and were two toned with purple and pink. She had bright green eyes and she wore what looked like a sash that wrapped around her chest, going beneath her right foreleg and over her left shoulder.
Another thing Arctic noticed about the two fillies and Applebloom was that the three of them had no cutie mark.
Arctic watch the two fillies come up. The Pegasus filly seem nervous but all excited. Whereas the Unicorn filly just looked nervous and as though she was about to bolt at any moment.
“Arctic, these are mah friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. We’re…”
Before Arctic knew it, the three fillies were all standing together wearing capes. And with a loud shout, mostly from Applebloom and Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle’s voice was quite, just barely above a whisper, they proclaimed,
“THE CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS!”
The loud shout threw Arctic off guard and his ears began to ring. Even the ponies who were closer to them’s ears began to ring slightly.
Trying to make his ears stop ringing, Arctic asked, “Cutiemark Crusaders? So what do you three do?”
With a sheer unbelievable amount of enthusiasm, Applebloom spoke up.
“The three of us are on a mission tah get our Cutiemarks!”
Arctic just smiled.
“Well, I hope the three of you manage to get them someday.”
Arctic reached out and began to pet Applebloom and Scootaloo on the head. He remembered Pinkie really liking it, so why not to it with the Crusaders. Well, at least Applebloom and Scootaloo, since Sweetie Belle still seemed a bit scared. The two fillies sighed in relaxation as they got pet. Eventually, Scootaloo spoke up.
“Hey, are you really an Alien?”
“Yeah. I’m an alien. The only of my kind in all of Equus.” Arctic said.
Scootaloo’s eyes widened.
“Could you tell me about your kind?” Scootaloo asked, her tail wagging slightly and her wings buzzing a bit in excitement. Even Applebloom looked a bit excited.
“Sure I can.” Arctic said.
Scootaloo jumped onto the bench getting on Arctic’s other side opposite of Applebloom. Sweetie Belle did get a bit close, but not super close. Once they were settled, Arctic began telling the three fillies all about the Saiyan race from what he could remember. Overtime, he had gone from talking about his race to talking about the Blizzard Kingdom. He didn’t delve into too much, mostly telling them about how it looks, the different creatures that live there and the many places Arctic and his sibling hung out. Eventually, Sweetie Belle’s fears had subsided a bit and she was a bit more comfortable sitting closer to Arctic.
The ponies of Ponyville closer to them had watched them and smiled seeing that the Crusaders had warmed up to him quite quickly and decided that if those three were willing to give him a chance, then they should as well.
At some point Scootaloo hoped up and held onto Arctic’s arm.
“Hmm? What’s up Scootaloo?” Arctic asked.
“You said you can fly right?” Scootaloo asked.
“Well, yeah. I can said I could fly. You seemed quite amazed at that.” Arctic said with a light chuckle.
Thinking back, Arctic remember The Crusaders reaction to hearing he could fly. He even showed that he could when he started to float. Sweetie Belle was shocked, Applebloom was also shocked but a bit amazed, Scootaloo was astounded and giddy as ever seeing that somepony could fly without wings.
Scootaloo looked a bit nervous before looking to Arctic again.
“Um, could I fly with you? On your back?”
Arctic tilted his head.
“You want to sit on my back while I fly?” Arctic asked with a small chuckle.
“I..if that’s okay.” Scootaloo says.
=================****************=================
“So it was Princess Luna?” Asked Tundra.
“Yeah. It was Princess Luna who had become The Mare in the Moon.” Twilight said
“And here we though it was just something the moon always had.” Said Tundra.
“Not to mention, after so long, Princess Luna has missed out on so mu-Woah!”
Twilight and Tundra jumped as a shadow flew over them and wind blew all over them. It was Arctic. He had flown by with The Crusaders. Scootaloo was sitting on his back with her forehooves wrapped around his neck and Sweetie Belle and Applebloom in his arms, all three screaming and cheering.
“Looks like they’ve taken a liking Arctic.” Twilight said with a chuckle.
“Who were those three little fillies he was carrying?” Tundra asked.
“The Cutiemark Crusaders.” Twilight said with a chuckle and smile.
Twilight and Tundra just smiled as they watched them fly.
==========*************============
Pinkie and Winter were both dancing with a group of other ponies. They were all having fun and Winter was really enjoying herself partying with new ponies who could potentially become new friends for her. Applejack and Rarity were also there drinking some punch and chatting with each other. Just then all of them saw Arctic flying with the Crusaders. Upon hearing the three fillies laughing and cheering, they all just smiled.
“Looks like those three are having fun with Arctic.” Rarity said with a smile.
“Yah got that right Sugarcube.” Applejack said as she let out a hearty chuckle.
===========**************===========
Spike and Glacier were talking with each other, both sitting on a bench eating some cupcakes.
“I didn’t know there were such things as Ice dragons.” Spike said.
“That makes sense. From what you said you were always around ponies since you hatched.” Glacier said as he bit into a cupcake
“Well that’s true. Sometimes, I’d like to learn more about dragons and my parents.” Spike said.
“Hey, you’re not the only one.” Glacier said.
“What do you me…”
Before spike could finish, he sees Arctic flying with the Crusaders.
“Woah! He can fly?” Spike asks, watching in awe.
“Oh yeah. I’m sure he’ll explain how he can fly. That is, if Twilight doesn’t explain it to you first.” Glacier said with a low chuckle.
“I wanna fly like that!” Spike said with a giant smile.
“You know, I could carry you and fly you around.” Glacier says.
“Really? You’d fly me around?” Spike asked, looking up to Glacier.
“Of course.” Glacier said.
==========*********=========
Before anypony knew it, they were all having more fun than ever. After watching Arctic and Glacier fly Spike and the Crusaders around, they all very slowly began to trust and speak with the two brothers. Of course a few ponies were still apprehensive but most of the ponies had slowly grown to like the brothers a bit. They were all dancing, singing, Arctic and Pinkie even got into a cupcake eating contest. They both tied. Eventually once the sun had begun to set, everypony had begun to head for home. Once they all had gone home, Twilight had brought the Quartet to her home, which amazed the siblings, having never seen a tree turned into a library/house, and got things set up for the siblings. Twilight had managed to pull out a second bed and set it up by hers.
The four sibling all slipped onto the bed, Arctic and Glacier laying on it longways with Tundra and Winter curled up with their heads resting on Arctic and Glacier’s legs using them as pillows. Spike he already plopped into his little bed and almost immediately fell asleep. Twilight watched them and just chuckled to herself as she slipped into her bed and blew out the candle, plunging the room into darkness as they all slept peacefully, ready to see what was in store for them next.
