Snowdrop walked through a soot black corridor of sorts, finding that the dream seemed shaped as the royal castle. She had been in the castle of Luna and Celestia once though, and mixed with her bad vision, it made seeing the dream like corridor she was walking in very hard to see. The only thing she could see was a watercolor like image of a pony, a pony she knew and missed. She gasped as she realized that the pony was her own mother. She trotted to the lively watercolor like image of her mother but was then accompanied by the fact that she could not feel the image of her mother like she would if she was still alive. This hinted however how most ponies who knew her would want her to be right now.
"M-Mama?" murmured Snowdrop as she touched the figure.
The figure of her mother soon became flesh and blood, as her mother then proceeded to give Snowdrop a nuzzle on her fluffy mane.
"Snowdrop... you have to wake up...." Said her mother softly.
"B-But i don't want to wake up.... i want to stay with you...." Replied Snowdrop, beginning to tear up inside.
"You will be here soon, but you have to wake up......" Said her mother once more, repeating herself.
Snowdrop began to cry as her mother began to fade into water colors, and soon into wind blown snow. Snowdrop sat on the ground of the big corridor as she said over and over.
"Wake up now..........wake up now.........wake up now....." Snowdrop said, repeating herself three times over.
Luna stayed in her room as she felt Snowdrop dreaming. She closed her own eyes as she saw into Snowdrops dream, she found Snowdrop crying that she had to wake up. Luna stepped into the dream herself as she approached the snow pony as she embraced her in a hug. Snowdrop hugged back instantly, holding onto the shoulders of her teacher, crying as the moon Princess was hugging her as if they where of the same blood, they seemed like that anyway. Snowdrops dream ended as she woke up crying, bawling sort of. Princess Luna emerged from her room as she went to the hospital section of the castle that had Celestia near by.
"Luna!, where are you going?!" Cried Celestia as she found her sister leaning on the hospital room doors.
"I must attend to some pony... this is urgent.." Replied Luna, looking a bit stern as always, yet trying to hold back tears.
Celestia stood, speechless, caused because of Lunas actions on entering the hospital room. She found it strange that Luna would get so emotional about any pony, at times she seemed to feel she should be the center of attention, however was kind and gentle at the same time, it seemed very strange indeed. Luna rushed to Snowdrops bed, panting.
"Snow *pants* drop..., I'm... *pants* here........." Said Luna, panting.
"Hello Princess Luna..." Said Snowdrop, faintly recovering from her stroke 2 nights ago.
"Its very good to see you again...." Said Luna, sitting near Snowdrops hospital bed.
"Its good to see you too Princess.." Snowdrop said, being able to see the moon princess briefly because of her obvious vision problems.
"What happened Snowdrop, why where you screaming?.." Asked Luna, uninformed on what happened.
Snowdrop paused. She didn't want to tell her teacher about the stroke she experienced.
"You have to tell me Snowdrop......" Luna said, being repetitious.
"I had a stroke in my eyes!" exclaimed Snowdrop as she covered her face and cried.
The moon princess walked closer to the bed as she rubbed Snowdrops back as she cried, she felt bad that there was nothing that she could do. Snowdrops eyes where filled with tears, all falling down her face, dripping. Snowdrop laid back down as she felt something in her eyes, it felt like another stroke but wasn't, it was a mind grain. The snow pony put one of her weak hooves over her skull as she rubbed her head, feeling her mind feel as if it was burning. She sat up, and rubbed some more.
"Snowdrop... you have to lay back down Snowdrop..." Said Luna, staring and observing what Snowdrop was doing.
Snowdrop didn't hear as her head drifted, she felt a bit dizzy as her head fell into the pillow as her eyes began to be throbbing in pain, she felt as if the mind grain was forming into another stroke, and it was. Luna took a step back as Nurse Good heart charged towards the bed as she felt Snowdrops head out. Snowdrop, bawling in agony began to feel her vision dimming, it was not like last time where her vision was VERY blurry. She began to close her eyes, closing them slowly, as she had her hoof on her heart. Snowdrops vision began dimming more as she began to look as if she was to pass out, but that wasn't the case at all.
"Snowdrop?" Asked Luna, curious but anxious.
"Your highness.... i'm so sorry...." said Nurse Red heart as she gave Luna a look of disbelief.
"W-Why are you sorry?!" Luna asked again, beginning to cry once more.
"Snowdrop has just passed away........" Nurse Red heart said finally, tearing up a bit.
Luna covered her face in her hooves and trotted out of the hospital room, Celestia was just outside. Luna ran back up to her room as she closed the door, she locked it as well just in case Celestia was planning on entering. Luna cried for three hours on end, burying her head in the small bed she had. It was 7:00 at night and Luna felt a breeze coming into her room, she had strangly kept the windows wide open, exposing her room to the cold air of winter. The moon princess saw the moon coming up slowly, realizing that she had been had been out crying while her sister raised the moon, a bit quicker then she could in fact. She then saw the snow slowly tinkling down in little flurries. Luna walked to her open window as she stared and gazed at the snow coming from the sky, she then looked into the moon gazing and imagining with her imagination, then she saw something brilliant, something amazing. She saw an imaginary cloud with Snowdrop with her mother snuggling, the image looked like that of a painting, accept animated somehow. Then, the image faded from the sky completely. Luna kept gazing at the stars and the falling snow for several more hours, then, the snow stopped falling completely. Luna proceeded to close the windows, she was smiling, however was unaware of it.
Luna pulled the covers over herself as she felt herself getting sleepy, she looked at her window and said,
"Thank you Snowdrop.... thank you for us joy and happiness in the process...."
Luna then fell asleep, awaiting good dreams ahead.
