Oh merciful Bolas! SNOW! I knew it was getting cold, I knew it was becoming late November and now there are the evil white flakes from the sky here to kill me. At least I am safe in the middle of Celestia’s study, there is a fire, and it is in the middle of the tower it is on, while there is a balcony door I have blocked it with a bookshelf so I should be safe.
Princess Celestia always loved winter. The ground was always so beautiful when it was covered in white shining snow, and the cold was always a nice bracing sort of cold. She also always loved to watch her ponies enjoy the snow and the holidays. She was heading to her study. She opened the door and gasped. There in the middle of her study was Sean just standing looking at the fire.
“Sean what are you doing in here?”
“The snow.” He replied
“What?”
“Those evil death flakes from the sky. I must keep them away.”
“Why do you have to keep it away?”
“Because the snow is the tools of the grim reaper.”
Now she remembered, a couple years ago the snow had nearly made his heart stop.
“Sean the snow only hurt you because you had nowhere to go in the cold. Now you have a home you can come back to if you start to get too cold.”
“Never again.”
“Come outside with me tomorrow and I will show you that snow can’t hurt you.”
“Why? I’m fine.”
She looked at him then using her magic moved the bookshelf and slammed the door open.
Sean screamed and leaped behind her “Close it! Close it! Close it!”
She chuckled and closed the door “You are coming outside with me tomorrow so I can show you.”
“Ugh, fine.”
Manipulative, evil white monster with her stupid breezy mane and sun tattoo. I really need to learn what those are called. Where was I? Oh yeah, being mad at Celestia, she was making me go out into the horrid snow. I don’t see what was wrong with my plan. All I was gonna do was sit in the palace with all the windows locked and never going near any of the doors for the whole winter. But now I am following her to the front door of the palace.
She turned to me “Are you ready?”
“No.”
She chuckled and then opened the door. The first thing I noticed was the cold breeze ugh. Then I saw the world. It was not too horrible. I walked out further and the city was actually rather pretty, everything was shinnying and white from the snow. Then I began to walk very carefully, I heard the steps of Celestia following me slowly.
Hey, maybe this is not too scary. After that winter that I nearly died once the snow started I turned into a dragon and would hibernate in a cave, so this was my first winter in over 8 years that I was conscious. Sadly the comfort was short lived as I ran into an ice patch. I set my left foot down and I began to feel it slip. Then I was on the ground with my head throbbing.
I looked up and saw Celestia standing above me.
“Why did I have to come out here?” I asked a bit out of it from the head blow
“Because I don’t want you hiding in the palace every winter.”
“Fine.” I got back up still a bit woozy from the fall. We went back to walking, heading to town square. When we got there the roads were plowed. I walked much more comfortably. I noticed the ponies were dressed in weird outfits. They looked
strange and fuzzy and thick.
“Hey Celestia.”
“Hmm?”
“What are those things they are wearing?”
“Those are called coats they help keep them warm in the cold.”
“How come you don’t need one?”
“Simple I am protected in a magic aura I made.”
We continued walking through the town then suddenly I was attacked. There was a giggle then I was hit in the face by a white projectile. I brushed of the white stuff which was apparently snow. I got up and looked around when I saw some heads duck behind a snow bank. I heard Celestia chuckle. I ignored her and began to sneak around the bank. Then I saw the children giggling behind it. They both gasped in shock and before they could react I had grabbed them. There were two, unicorn and a pegasus. I was about to crack their skulls when they teleported out of my grasp. I looked to my right saw Celestia now holding them in her magic grasp.
“Celestia what are you doing? Those punks attacked me!”
“Sean it was a snowball it is a thing that children throw at each other as a game.”
“Oh.” I walked up to Celestia the kids cowered for a minute.
“Ok then, sorry I guess.”
The kids looked at me and smiled, Celestia let them go and they ran past me. Celestia and I kept walking through town and I hate to admit it but winter may not be such a bad thing.
On our way back to the palace when we were out of the square I found a good pile of snow, grabbed a handful and made a ball. I then chucked it at Celestia.
It was hilarious, she face planted right into the snow. She got up and I saw her horn glow then there was a shadow over me. I looked up and there was a huge snowball above my head
“Ah come on!” Then I was buried under a mountain of snow.
