Chapter 1

Sharp Spell is Celestia's best student in Canterlot 1000 years ago, long before Twilight Sparkle, in fact he's her great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather from long ago. Sharp Spell was in his room in the Canterlot Castle as he was reading a few books on magic, which was also known as the castle library. He continued to the the many books piled around him as he heard a knock from his door. He went to open the door to find Princess Celestia with her flowing pink mane smiling upon her student. "Hello Sharp, are things well with you?"

"Yes Princess, though all of this reading is somewhat boring." He doubts himself as he picked up a random book. "Like this book of master spells. I read it over about a dozen times and I've pretty much mastered it." He said as he placed down the book and slumped over a random pile of books causing his teacher to giggle.

"Worry not my young student, I have an assignment for you."

The student's head popped up as he beaming like the sun. "An assignment? Oh good, I've been looking for something to do around this castle. What is the assignment princess?"

"I want you to accompany me to Cloudsdale, we will partake in a special tradition there."

"Okay princess, when will we be leaving?"

"In a few minutes. Please note that we will be staying there for a few days so pack well." The princess informed as she bowed to her student and left him for his packing.

Sharp was in his room as a thousands words of theories raced around his mine. "Hmmmm so a tradition in Cloudsdale? Haven't been there before, might be fun." He said to himself as he ran around in his room packing up his saddlebag of clothes, toothbrush and paste, paper, ink, quills, and best of all books. He packed up all that he needed in a fairly sized backpack as he trotted outside of the castle. The time was near winter as he heard the call from his teacher being made nearby. "Hello princess, are we ready to go to Cloudsdale? I am excited." The student said as Celestia chuckled at his gleefulness.

"Yes we are ready." She said as both ponies climbed onto the carriage and rode off into the sea of clouds. The young student had nothing but glee on his face, but for his teacher, she had a sad long face. She had remember what she did just a year ago. It had been at least at year at the choice that she was force to give.

"Princess," Celestia snapped her head back into consciousness as her student called for her. "are you still sad that you banished Luna to the moon?" Asked a concerned Sharp Spell

"Yes Sharp, I am." She said in a sad tone as a tear escaped her eye. "If only I could find some other way to help her." Sharp placed a hoof on Celestia's shoulder as she started to shed less. "I hope she will forgive me."

"It's okay Princess, I'm sure in the future she will forgive you. I promise you on my afterlife."

"Thank you Sharp." The sad princess thanked as the two arrived at the cloud city known as Cloudsdale. "Now Sharp don't forget to activate the master version of cloud walking. It lets you walk on clouds for a few days, instead of of one, which gives you enough days to spend in Cloudsdale."

"Yes princess." Sharp shimmered his horn as his feet began to glow and feel lighter like air. "Alright feet are light, time for the test." Sharp announced as he slowly placed his hoof on the cloud. He could feel it thick as a log, but soft like a marshmallow as he stood on top of the cloud. "Alright, good to see this is working. So where is this tradition being took place princess?"

"At the weather station. Come I will explain what we will be doing there." Sharp nodded as the two made their way towards the weather station of Cloudsdale. "This was introduced just 10 years ago, a small little filly had a dream, to spread happiness across Equestria. She made something small, but beautiful, during a project for a class in Cloudsdale, she took a small piece of ice and she carved it into what she said was a star, a star of winter. She wanted to make winter a time of happiness and so she did as she made more and more. We loved her project, especially Luna as her stars inspired this filly to create them."

"Wow princess, I'm amazed that such a little filly amazed you with a small piece of ice."

"I was surprised too but it was so beautiful. She called them snowflakes. After that project, many pegasi in Cloudsdale began to make more and more snowflakes as they stored them up in clouds and let them fall for all the ponies on land enjoy them and become happy. As the years passed, many pegasi create the wonderful art known as snowflakes and many ponies on Equestria enjoy them, she has made Equestria a new place with these snowflakes. And the fun part is, no snowflake is the same, you can create it in any style you want."

"That is interesting princess, I am excited to partake in this tradition." Sharp said as he hopped around in glee.

"And so am I my young student." The two arrived at the massive cloud building, there were pools, fountains, and waterfalls of liquid rainbows, machines that produced puffy white clouds from buckets of water, wheels with wires plugged into grey painted clouds, and a tall building with a blue white star on the top of it. Also known as the weather station. "Here we are, now let's find Snowdrop."

"Is she the creator of snowflakes?" Asked a curious Sharp Spell.

"Why yes she is, she is about your age, just a year younger and she is a very talented pegasus."

"I bet she is, how come I never heard of her princess?"

"I gave you newspapers about her. Did you read them?" Celestia asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hmmmm....."

"Sharp, I have the newspaper for you. It's a very good article and I thought you might want to read it." said a castle maid as she walked inside Sharp's room.

"Sure, just place it on my table." Sharp walked over to the newspaper as he piked up the paper and looked at the article. "Hmm Snowdrop? she made-" He was interrupted as a 'bonk' noise came from his window. He quickly dropped the newspaper as he ran towards the window, he opened it do find his pegasus friend Firefly rubbing her head in pain. "Firefly what are you doing here?"

"Oh I was wondering if you wanted to hang out."

"I got time, sure!"

And he never picked up that newspaper again.

"mmmmm nope." Sharp said in a flat tone as the two walked through the colorful factory of weather. They walked in the factory as they found a large door with a ice white star above it. Two pegasi in lab coats, goggles, helmets, gloves, and boots came in with two boxes.

"Princess, you will need this to partake in this tradition." One pegasus said as they both opened the boxes revealing white uniforms, the two were wearing the exact same thing. "And don't worry about your luggage, we will hold it for you until you are finished." The pegasus proletariat said as several pegasi flew over to Sharp and Celestia and brought their bags to the nearest room.

"Of course." Celestia compiled as she levitated a uniform to herself and one for her Sharp. They both put on all the required parts of the uniform as the two pegasi nodded and opened the door. The two entered the room as they found tens of tables of working pegasi making the beautiful ice art known as snowflakes. They came in all shapes and sizes, the two walked through each working pegasi, Sharp noticed something strange...it was quiet.

He leaned in closer to the princess as he was close to her ear. "Uh... princess, why is it so quiet here?" Sharp asked in a whisper.

"That's because each snowflake is very delicate. It's like glass basically, but they are very thin like paper." Celestia whispered back.

"That's amazing." Sharp snapped out lout as every pegasus in the room shushed him as he shrunk back in embarrassment. "Sorry." he apologized in whisper. "So where is Snowdrop?"

"She's right over here." Celestia responded as she pointed towards an icy blue pegasus mare working on snowflakes. The two walked over behind her as Celestia cleared her throat. "Snowdrop?"

The pegasus mare jumped in surprise as she nearly dropped her work in progress, she turned to find Princess Celestia smiling upon her. "Oh princess! It's so good to seee you." She said as she ran over and embraced Celestia, who also embraced back. "It's so great that you wish to partake in snowflake making." She whispers as she beamed at the princess.

The princess breaks the hug as she cleared her throat as pushed Sharp Spell forward. "Snowdrop, I'd like you to meet my personal student, Sharp Spell." Celestia introduced as Sharp Spell was frozen like an ice cube. Not only him but Snowdrop stared at him like an owl, her cheeks felt warm like Celestia's sun in the spring. As for Sharp Spell, he felt the same way.

Sharp's head was plagued with many thoughts, most acted like a little filly on fire. She's so....beautiful.

I don't inside me, sure she's.....cool looking but that doesn't mean I have a crush on her.

Yes you do.

Do not.

Do too.

NOT "H-Hello" Sharp Spell introduced timidly.

"Um...Hello." The pegasus said in a shy tone.

Omigosh he said hi to me!

And he's so cute.

I wonder if he likes me.

I but he does.

Oh what do I say now?

Celestia couldn't help but chuckle as she easily put the pieces together for those two. "Snowdrop, may you please teach us as to how to make snowflakes?" Celestia insisted as the icy snow pegasus mare snapped back into consciousness as she bowed her head in apology.

"Yes of course, right this way." The pegasus compiled as she led the two ponies to another room. Inside were massive blocks of ice, there were many pegasi who were shaving the ice until they had a nice sheet of ice and placed it gently on a tray and brought it into the room they were just in. "This is the resource room, this is where we get all the ice to make snowflakes. It's really easy, all you do is take a razor and shave a paper sheet of ice. Be careful though, that razor is sharp enough to cut your tongue." The mare informed as a pegasus brought in a tray of three separate razor blades. The three ponies grabbed the blades with there mouths as they approached a glacier of marble white ice. "So you must gently press down the blade of the ice as you get a the paper thin ice. Be careful not to make tot thin, tot thick, too long, or too short. Any damage to the ice would result as a waste and we have to throw it away." The mare informed with the razor blade in her mouth as she placed the blade on the ice. "Let me show you first before you try it yourself."

Snowdrop slowly and gently pressed down the blade as a sheet of ice began to form, it was small like a sticky note and thin like paper. She then pulled away from the ice as the ice sheet fell slowly onto the mare's hand. "And this is ice paper, we use these to either make multiple snowflakes, or one big one."

"Cool, may I try?" Asked Sharp

"Go ahead." Sharp walked up to the icy mountain as he placed the blade on the ice. He pushed down the blade as it slipped causing his razor to fall to the floor, and causing the stallion to slip his head making contact with the ice wall and his forehead.

"Owww....." The stallion whimpered in pain as the two mares behind him giggled in torment. "Okay I got this." Sharp proclaimed as he picked up the blade and pressed it down on the ice, this time with more prestige he gently pushed it down until a sheet of ice was removed from the icy mountain. Sharp quickly placed his hoof under the paper as it gently landed on his hoof. "Yes! Got it!" Sharp exclaimed as his newly born paper, shattered like glass. "What!?"

Snowdrop couldn't help but giggle at the stallion's failure. "You had it, but you were too loud. Now let's get some ice paper, shall we?"

"Of course, it would be my honor." Celestia said as the three ponies began to carve into the rock ice walls as they collected several pieces of ice paper.

"So is this enough? With this amount, it just looks like cardboard." Sharp theorized as he picked up a small tray full of paper ice.

"Yes, it's enough to fill a whole cloud. Now let's go to the modeling station, it's where we make our snowflakes." The two Canterlot ponies nodded as Snowdrop lead them towards the same room with several working pegasi. "Now we must stay very quiet, each snowflake is very delicate." Snowdrop whispered as she led the two to an empty work table. "Now let's get started." She quietly said as she laid down three sheets of ice paper for each of them.

"Soo, what do we use to carve snowflakes?"

"Well, you can use a feather or a quill to carve snowflakes. Just be gentle because if you press to hard, you could shatter the whole thing."

"Alright." Followed Sharp as he grabbed a nearby feather and levitated it above the ice paper. He slowly pressed the sharp tip of the feather against the ice as he slowly moved it left and right slowly carving the piece of ice. In a slow and long process, Sharp was able to create a fairly decorative snowflake. "Is this good?" He asked the two mares.

"It doesn't matter." Said Snowdrop. "No snowflake can ever be the same, it's what make's snowflake making fun. You can make any design you want. The more unique the design, the more happy the ponies of Equestria can be." The two laughed as they paused in red embarrassment. "Let's see yours Celestia." The princess nodded as she levitated up her complete snowflake.

The two ponies both dropped their jaws to the floor at the decorative design of this snowflake. "Wow princess, that's an amazing design!" Sharp quietly exclaimed.

"Yes, It's the best I've seen." Complimented Snowdrop.

"So where do we take these snowflakes?"

"Just over to the ice clouds. It's where we store the snowflakes for them to fall." All three of them walked over to the clouds as Snowdrop and Celestia flew over to the clouds, leaving Sharp Spell behind. Snowdrop looked over to find Sharp sitting lonely on the cloud floor as she quickly flew over to the lonely unicorn. "Oh sorry I forgot you don't have wings." She apologized as she dropped her head down.

"Yea, It's okay. So how am I going to put this in the cloud?" Asked a confused Sharp Spell.

"Hmmm...... how about you ride on my back?" Sharp Spell suddenly cringed back at the suggestion and turned pink in his cheeks.

"Umm..... I uh...are you sure? I mean I could just try to use the wing spell." Suggested a timid Sharp Spell

"Well I don't want you to over use your magic, so you can just ride on my back." Clarified Snowdrop as Sharp opened his mouth in suggestion, but said nothing in defeat as there was nothing to protest about.

"Alright fine." Snowdrop landed on the cloud floor that Sharp stood on. She lowered herself as Sharp carefully sat on Snowdrop's back. Snowdrop slowly lifted up from the cloud as she carried sharp on her back, as they came in close to the white filled air puff, Sharp took his snowflake and levitated it into the cloud.

Ohmigosh ohmigosh ohmigoooooosh he's riding on me.

Y'know that sounds wrong right?

I don't care! He's so soft and CUTE!!!

Yea, he is. This is good, keep going and make sure that he kisses you.

Gaahhh! Too far, it's too soon for that now!

Well at least ask him out.

But I don't know if I can talk to him. I mean he's a-

"Snowdrop?" Snowdrop snapped back into consciousness as she looked up at the confused Sharp Spell. "You gonna put me down now? We've been up here for a few minutes and everypony starting to watch." Sharp said in embarrassment as Snowdrop turned red and quickly flew down on the base cloud floors. Sharp hopped off as he stared at Snowdrop who continued to be red like a rose. "You okay? You zoned out up there."

"I-I-I-I-I-I'm fine, I uhh... had something on my mind." Snowdrop exclaimed as she covered her face with her wings.

"Oh well okay, well Celestia and I are going to our hotel rooms. You're kinda cool, we should chat sometime." Sharp shrugged as him and the princess walked away from the pegasus mare.

Smooth move, "we should chat sometime" reeaaaaaal smooth.

Shut it, at least I can get the chance to know her.

And whyyyy?

Because she's......kinda cute.

HA! KNEW IT!!!

Oh shut it!

As the two Canterlot ponies exited the weather station, they took off their uniforms and give it to the workers in exchange for their luggage. Sharp and Celestia soon arrived in their hotel as they soon entered their rooms. Sharp had his own room for obvious reasons, he took his key and opened his room door. Everything was made of clouds but felt like real wood, they were colored and looked exactly like a hotel in Equestria. He threw his saddlebag in the corner as he slumped on the bed as stared at the ceiling. "Man, I think I'm going to enjoy my stay here." Sharp said with a smirk as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Bwahahahahaha I can't believe he has a crush on Snowdrop! Bwahahahahaha!!!"
