Its Winter for the red eyes that are gleaming.
The sun beamed down on the soft and golden sand, giving Celestia’s grand gift to many happy ponies, all except one. The unhappy pegasus let out a sigh as her pink mane fell over her right eye. She looked out to the ocean and felt even more lonely, not it was her fault though to by herself here. It wasnt her fault that she won KCOLT’s radio contest, after all how was she supposed to know that she was the only pony in all of ponyville who knew the name of the acient guardian of the woods-great Ak. Her friends also supported her leaving and got her to go off alone like this. She sighed again, her loneliness growing and making her feel worse. Deciding to shake off her sadness she went off to the zoo.
The little pegasus walked around the zoo, taking note of all of the cute critters that lived around there. Seeing these creatures did make her a little more happy and a lot less lonely, but she still missed those that were the closest to her, and a little less important she missed something else. Walking to a peguin exhibit, she leaned over the rail to watch the flightless fowl playing and walking around their snowy enclosed world, “ You guys are so lucky.” Fluttershy said, looking down and smiling, “ You get to have your friends close by (She remembered asking, but found out that the trip was only for one pony) and get to have all of the snow you want down there. I wish it would snow here...but there isnt a cloud in the sky and I think its way too warm for it.” the mare then sighed and walked away, wondering if she should cut the vacation short. It was getting close to hearth’s warming after all and her friends are probably missing her. Also, she missed the lovely snow, the soft white powder that she could walk around in, feeling the cold wet droplets on her back. She always loved seeing how Ponyville could be changed at the time and how the white powder could make the city beautiful.
Another sigh came to her, it just didnt feel the same spirit without her friends and, “What?” HEr walking stopped when she felt something cold land on her snoot. Looking up, she saw all that the sky was covered in a blanket of clouds, and from those clouds came, “Snow!” She exclaimed as she began to walk a little more briskley to get to her hotel and get something warm. However, something caught her eyes, it was a package. Picking it up and looking it over, she discovered that it was a cake box and in it was a spongecake with whipped cream and cherries on top.
As she ate her cake while walking she caught another package, this one being a clothes box. Opening it up, she found a scarf and a pair of warm boots that looked hoof made and stiched. Quickly she put them both on and walked a little more slowly, now wamr enough to enjoy the snow that fell around her. Getting to the hotel, a sales clerk handed the pink maned pegasus a small package, containing a small penguin plush made from straw. Smiling, she thanked the clerk and walked to the stairs that led to her room. Just outside of the door, she found one more package: a book on how to make a good snowpony. Opening the door slowly she saw a very bright light coming from the made up Hearth’s warming tree in the middle of the room, and standing in front of said tree were five ponies that meant the world to her, “Happy Hearth’s warming day!” The five ponies exclaimed, a bow on each of their necks.
No words escaped from her lips as she ran into their legs to give all of them a big hug, feeling their love and warmth.
