//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Maybe once you do know // by Fat1thatyoulove //------------------------------// Chapter 5 – Weather problems The outside air is brisk on your once cozy body and your breath is stressed as you continue your galloping attempt at following Twilight. Since you left Rarity's boutique it has felt like the storm has gotten worse, there's still no snow falling but a few wisp of cold air are from time to time striking against you....I should had stayed in the boutique. Rarity seems to share your thoughts as she speaks out, "Ugh, I should had just stayed in the boutique. I mean honestly why does Rainbow Dash need you to help clean up a mess she and the rest of the weather team ma...-" Rarity's voice is cut of as the three of you stare towards the center of town. There seems to be a decently large snow vortex beginning spun down from the large puffy dark clouds. The wind that you only felt briefly from time to time now swirls around you, it almost seems focused on this one area. The loud sound of wind chilled ice fills the air and you hold your mouth open still dumbly to the cyclone. The snowy color is being slightly drafted by the colorful pegasus that fly around it, from what you're seeing it almost looks like there holding the thing in place. Twilight breaks from her astonishment as you all watch the cyan mare leave the cyclone, "Just keep it up everypony! We should be out of this soon!" Rainbow quickly darts over to where you three stand as she talks, her mane has snow throughout it and it makes her vibrant color look grey, "Please tell me you got a spell." Twilight hoovers a book in front of her as she still holds her gaze to the mass of spinning snow, "I do but this doesn't look like any kind of regular precipitation cloud." Rainbow frantically shakes her head as she holds her hoof to the cloud, "You think?!" "Just give me a few moments Rainbow." Twilight holds the book in her grasp as she studies through the pages. But the wind that escapes the pegasus hold are more intense here and with each escape its loud wishing pushed the books pages around; even through her magic. You and Rarity stay silent not really knowing what to do or say as Twilight continues her studying of the book. "OK Rainbow I think I have something but it looks to be a difficult spell, I would need everypony to leave the weather tornado." Rainbow bites at her bottom lip as she looks between her friend and the still swirling clouds, "Twilight if we leave that thing its going to go crazy? Its to hard to get it back in control are you sure?" Twilight looks to the book for a moment before she shakes her head, "Ya I can do it." You blink yourself back into thought as you talk, "Wait is that too big of a spell?" She closes the book as she floats it over to Rarity, "No, its just different." "Different? What do you mean different?" Rainbow gets antsy as she listens to your banter and speaks over you before you can finish, "Twilight can you do it or not?" Twilight nods her head as she moves her hooves to the snowy ground in a more stable stance. Rainbow darts back to the cyclone as she starts to break up the pegasus holding the clouds together. Your mind races a little like before as you stand beside Twilight, "You should not do this spell if its too big. You had trouble with the memory spell this morning." Your comment seems to have struck a chord with the lavender mare as she lifts her head up more, "This is just a simple levitation spell compared to that." "Simple? How is anything magic sim..-" Your comment is blown away as the snow twister starts to unfold from the top, the snow and wind that was being mostly contained now starts up in a furry as the pegasus leave. Twilight loses a little bit of her confidence as the cloud structure begins to unravel into its tangled mass. You all watch as the last few rows of worn out ponies fly out of the makeshift hold. The sound only increases around you as you squint your eyes to the flurry of snow around you. "NOW Twilight!" Rainbow almost crashes herself beside you as she calls out. Before you could even make a motion Twilight's horn takes on a deep purple glow as a large bubble forms above it. The whipping winds slightly diminish the chime but as the magic around her horn starts to glow brighter the chiming begins fighting back the wisping snow. Twilight holds her eyes closed in a tight concentration as the bubble resting on her horn bursts into waves of bright purple magic that make a snake like crawl to the now completely broken snow twister. The base of her horn has a deep dark purple as her magic pushes the cluster of clouds back together. You like everypony around you watch in amazement as the cloud twister starts to dissipate. But just as the magic creeps into a cone shape to what looks like pushing the clouds up the purple encasement starts to falter. Twilight buckles her stance a little as a slight gasp escaped her. "Twilight!" You call out as you hold your hoof out to her but still with nothing in your mind telling you what to do. The moment of hoof biting around you quickly changes as Twilight pushes her head and chest back up and out. A loud crashing chime breaks from her stance as her horns glow takes on a green like tent. The cloud funnel that was only moments ago being barely held now are shoved back to the mass of black clouds above you all. The sharp winds stop and the snow flurry follows suite; as the last flak drops the crowd of tired pegasus erupt in a cheer. Twilight's horn's glow vanishes with a low resignation poof as she opens her eyes. Her stance is a bit wobbly but she's quickly rushed into a hug by Rainbow Dash as the mare calls out in a high pitched tomboyish voice, "Alright! I knew the best unicorn in Equestria could do it!" Twilight gives an exhausted giggle as she takes in a few deep breaths, "Ya...Nothing to it." You can't hide the smile you got from the magic show but your mind screams at you for not stopping her and your stomach feels a terrible uneasiness to it, but you hold the happy smile as you look over her tired face. Twilight averts her eyes up to the looming clouds as she talks in a low voice, "Rainbow can you move these clouds?" Rainbow lets go of the mare as she takes herself into the air, "Heck ya! Alright everypony lets get ready for a clean up." The crowd around you gives a tired reply as most of the mares and stallions try to stretch their wings. You look around the crowd of tired ponies for a moment but quickly bring your head down as you feel a warm body rub against your leg. You hold your shocked face to the smiling purple filly for only a moment before you call out, "Violet?!" Twilight brings her head down from her gaze as she looks to the smiling filly wrapped around your leg, "Violet! What are you...-" Her voice is drafted as you hear Spike's voice call out from behind you, "There she is...-" You and Twilight both bring your angry faces to Sweetie and Spike as they stop their run. Spike points to Sweetie as he talks, "It was his fault I swear!" "But...but but..." Sweetie is quickly lead away by Rarity as the white mare nudges her to walk, "No buts young filly." You and Twilight still hold your gaze to Spike as you speaks up as your mind shouts out a comment, "Spike if anything were to have happened to Violet you don't even want to know what would had happened." Spike points to Violet as he talks, "Uh..." You quickly look down to the filly still wrapped around the bottom part of your leg. The filly now has a baby like confusion being held up to the clouds above you; but thats not what concerns you its the bright green glow sitting on the tip of her horn that brings you into action, "Violet don'.--" Your voice is cut off as you try to scoop the filly up, as you move your hoof form her she snaps out of her gaze a bolt of magic is shot up into the air above her. But before it meets free air it sticks against your face. You are knocked onto your flank as you stare wide eyed to the filly in front of you. The bolt of magic that was released from her horn quickly sticks against the dark cloud mass. A thundering sound can be heard as the clouds begin to shift. Rainbow is the first to speak up as everypony around you stares to the shifting clouds, "Oh man..." But as the clouds stop there shifting only a light snowfall starts. The crowd of pegasus give a loud annoyed awww but Rainbow and Twilight who stand closer to you give a sigh of relief. Rainbow talks towards Twilight as she starts her walk, "You think you two could help out a bit more?" She nods her head as she continues. The lavender mare is quick to the little filly as she tries to catch a snowflake on her bright red extended tongue. Twilight stops her scoop of the filly as she looks over the pony happy smile as she plays her boot covered hooves in the snow around her. You on the other hand have not moved your flank from the snow as you stare at Twilight and Violet in front of you...You blink your eyes for a moment as you wet your lips in a quaking smile, "...I...I always wondered what winter would feel like with a coat..." Twilight turns with a confused look to your cracky voice, "Are you ok?" You hold a teary eyed smile to her as you try to talk, "...I said I wasn't going anywhere right?" You slowly stumble to your hooves as she stares at you silently. You stare at her for a moment as your warm breath wisp in front of you, "...I love you." You push your head forward as you catch her in an unexpected kiss. A few streams of warm tears roll from your cheeks as you hold the kiss a bit longer. After a moment you break it and stare back at her. Her eyes are slightly watery as she looks at you, "Y-you..." She doesn't complete her sentence as she embraces you in a tight sniffling hug. You return it as you try to bury you muzzle into her snow filling mane. Neither one of you can talk as you hold each other and everypony around you has turned there confused gaze to you two but still neither of you can speak as you both give a light happy sob. You quickly open your watery eyes as you drop your hold of Twilight and move to the filly staring up at you, "And you...stop growing up..." You give another slightly louder sob as you scoop the filly up, "...No big filly spells and you're going to eat baby mush and a bottle." Violet slightly sticks her tongue out to your shaky words. You can't tell if its because she knows what you said or if shes still trying to eat the snow but you don't care as you bring the squirming filly to a tight grip you don't intend to let go of any time soon....You close your eyes as you rub your head to hers.
