Chapter 7 – What's a Winter without simplicity?
A short speech...A short speech, you hold the other mares words to your mind with a completely dull face as you shiver a little to the cold weather as you shake the snow that's built up on your back. Which is almost amazing seeing as how the snow fall around the town centers is almost nothing.
But a glimmer of hope comes to you as you listen to the white mare's voice, "...And now to help show the unity Equestria has come to know." A warming smile comes from the white mare as she takes a step aside and the six mares behind her come forward.
You look over Twilight's expression with a smile, but that quickly changes as you watch her horn sparking up in loud magical chiming glow that's being amplified by the microphone still on stage.
The spell slowly climbs up the gold crown that sits on her head as the purple star begins to take on the bright glow itself. An unnerving feeling of uneasiness comes over you as you ready yourself to run to the stage if needed, but you just watch as the magic begins to slowly grow out to the other elements around the five other pony's necks. As the purple magic spreads from the crown it starts to become a white glowing color that begins to form around her friend’s elements.

Sparky and Futty both turn their heads towards the sound of the loud magic chiming but they can't see over or through the crowds in front of them enough to really see anything.
Violet and Bell don't take notice to the building magical chiming though as the colt continues to shake the snow from his face from yet another failed attempt at catching one of Violet's magically thrown snowballs.
The light purple filly doesn't have to say anything because at every failed attempt the colt continues to want to try again, and the small spell that the filly has kept using doesn't even bother her as she brings another snowball to herself.
"Alright this time for sure." The blue colt adjust his stance as he squints his eyes with his horn glowing a low but ready pink.
To the words Violet sends the next snowball towards him as her horn sparks up. As the rush of white powder comes to the colt he slightly closes his eyes as his horn reacts to his mind.
But unlike the other times the cool of ice doesn't hit him and he slowly opens his eyes to the snowball trapped just before his face, "Hey I did it, I DId it!" The colt's voice squeaks a little as he looks to the floating orb.
Sparky and Futty turn to the voice as they look to the colt, "You see you see I-..." A loud pop of resignation chime comes from the stage as a bright and elegant aura of light almost like a rainbow shoots over the sky of the area, but the loud sound sends the colt's spell into a spike as his fear takes hold for the quick second. The jagged and emotion driven pink bolt sticks against Violet and ends up knocking her back to the ground as her horn resonates the magic to her horn, the little filly's lip quivers a little as she closes her eyes and reaches her hooves to her head unable to cry.

The louder sound of the Elements of Harmony's spell blocks the sound of the events that happened only a few quick hooves away from you, and your mind doesn't really think to look over to the light purple filly as you still bask in the feel of the relief nothing bad happened from the element's.
Although your clueless bliss doesn't get to stay long as you get a sudden and burning feeling to turn your head, and as you do your heart drops and mind blanks as you look to your daughter laying to the snowy ground. Without even a breath your hooves start up in a gallop as you slightly push the stallion you stand next to a side.
Your sudden jarring of the stallion who still holds his gaze to the aura of magic above him comes to an end as he watches your gallop, which quickly sends him to follow you as he realizes where you're heading.
Your gallop comes to an end almost as soon as it started as you move your hooves around the filly to bring her to sit on her flank, your voice is a little shaky as you bend your head to her level, "W-what's wrong Violet?"
Volt moves towards the light orange pegasus as your voice comes back again to the little filly who has still yet to bring her hooves down from her head, her lips still quiver and her eyes are clenched tight.
The three colts around where you and Violet stand just look on silent as you continue, "Violet?"
As you start to calm a little down you finally start to notice her horn that still continues to spark the pink magic to it, but the color has started to change to a green tint as the little sparks of magic start to chime around her horn.
In a blink of an eye her horn has fully taken on a bright green glow as he horn's chiming becomes loud. Your feeling of being helpless continues to pound against you as you realize shes about to do a spell and you have no idea how to help through it.
But your actions nor words are needed as the spell to Violet's horn finishes, the bolt that stems from Violet's small horn is nothing that should even remotely have exited her horn as you watch and feel the large zapped screaming bolt of magic rush just pass your face and to the cloud above the town hall area.
As the bolt strikes the cloud cover a thunderous boom comes from above as the clouds are quickly pushed from the area with a ripple almost similar to a rain drop falling into water. The day's sun now pours completely into the area from the new pushed away cloud cover, but what causes the silent crowd around you to turn into a muttering conglomerate of voices is the now absent Element of Harmony rainbow.
"Violet!"
The cause for the absent light show comes next to you as the lavender mare comes next to and to the little filly that has now opened her eyes blue to a very tired half closed and her figure slightly leans a little weakened from her spell.
Twilight's hoof comes around the filly as she scoops here from the ground, Violet's size makes it a little hard to carry her with one hoof; but her tired looking eyes don't look like shes going to squirm.
The three colts's voices come back up as each one begins to ask in there own way, "Is she alright?"
Twilight's voice comes back as she begins to calm down a little, "Yes, s-she's just tired."
By this time the crowd that you've stood behind has now turned their attention to the scene as you and Twilight get ready to take Violet home. However your trot is stopped for a moment as your eyes meet another reason why your scene has become more important than the stage. The tall white mare looks between you and Twilight as she eventually turns her head to the cloudless sky above her, "It seems Violet has her own unique way of expelling her magic..."
The white mare's sweet smile comes back as she looks back to Twilight, "I do hope that I will be able to see Violet's ability to control it...when it comes time for her to be examined by Canterlot's Unicorn School."
Twilight's face shows her own slight worry for the filly but the words from the white mare has put a slight smile to her face as she nods her head. But even Celestia doesn't stop her trot as she turns back to you looks down to the filly still in her grasp, "Come on Violet lets get you home..."
You follow after the lavender mare as Celestia's voice comes back to the onlooking crowd still somehow able to hold her sweet and wise tone as she speaks up, "Come now everypony, Hearth Warming Eve's celebration has only just started..."
You lose your minds ability to fully understand Celestia's continued words as you look to Violet's still tired eyes.
