When he woke, he first opened his left eye. through this eye he could see his room. He could see his mom and a stocking that was set up with his name on it. Their was a small tree with a few ornaments on it showing some of the pictures from when he was younger. This was that wish he had made. He closed his eye and opened the right. He could see Scootaloo laying next to him looking right into his eye. She was huddled close to him. The source of warmth in the dream. She was probably why he saw purple and orange colors there.
He got what he asked. It was his choice on which reality was real and which was a dream.
Ice Drop closed his eyes and waited for the right time to come out of his sleep. When the decision was made, and all had thought of, the positives and the cons, the choice he made was definitely the correct one.

Christmas day was when he woke. His mom had been filling the stocking while he sleep. She wasn't worried about how long he had slept since she knew how long Ice ponies could sleep. She was coming over to wake his when she realized he had been sleeping for two whole weeks now. That was just a little long so she moved over to wake him. When Ice Drop woke up without a problem, relief flooded her. " Mom, i'm so happy to see you. I had the strangest dream." Ice Drop started crying into his moms chest.
" You can tell me about it later. Today is christmas." Her voice was very soothing and cheered the small pegasus.
He sniffled " Ok mama."

Ice Drop woke two weeks later. Scootaloo was still pressed into him as if he was dying. She was softly crying into his shoulder since she was unable to wake him. She hadn't left his side but once to go get food and a supply of water. Her eyes were stained with pink from the tears and she had her head pressed to his neck. " You promised me you w-w-would never leave me."Scootaloo broke out into more sobs. She hadn't noticed he was awake, but instead was just talking to his body.
Ice Drop moved his arm to her neck to comfort her and pushed her close. " So are you crying because you miss me or because you think I left you?" Ice Drop had a small amount of sympathy in his voice.
" Oh my gosh, your back." Scootaloo wrapped him in a giant hug.
" Ya,um your on my bed and your touching me."
"And you want me off," Scootaloo's sounded very disappointed but she started to move anyway. She was about to hop off when Ice Drop grabbed her.
" You know, it really doesn't bother me anymore." Ice Drop and pulled her to him in a large embrace. In the two weeks that i've been in there, I've had a lot of time to think. And I spent most of that time thinking about you. Scootaloo started to blush wildly.
" One more thing, Scootaloo, I think i'm ready to tell you about my parents
....
Scootaloo and Ice Drop were sitting in the CMC clubhouse with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo had rested her head on Ice Drops shoulder.
Apple Bloom spoke up."So let me get this strait, you two are a thang now."
" Yes, but when it starts to warm up around here, I will have to leave. I can't live in the heat so I will be going to the Crystal empire and heading back up to my home from there." Ice Drops head hung low but popped back up." Do you have any really strong flyers in this town.?"
Sweetie took her turn to speak. " Their is one, he is new here and seems really nice. I can't remember his name but he is a stronger flyer than Rainbow Dash. Oh, and theres Rainbow Dash. Why?"
" I was really hoping that someone can fly you and Apple Bloom over to where I live. Do you think that Rainbow or the other guy could fly with you two on his back or something?"
" What about Scootaloo?"
Ice Drop looked over at Scootaloo, " What do you mean, she can fly. Can't you?" Scootaloo shot a glare at Sweetie Belle and a silence fell over the room. They sat in silence as Ice Drop looked around confused. " I again feel left out of something."
Apple Bloom interrupted the conversation," Ok gals... and Ice Drop. We got crusadin' t' do and it ain't goin' to get done if we sit here and yap at each other."
" We got ordi-mints to hang up on the tree in town and there not going to hang themselves." Sweetie Bells had a large smile slide across her face as the thought of bright balls and decorative lights floated in her mind. " Ice Drop, we'll need you to hang the higher up lights.
" I can do that."
" Scootaloo, you get to do the star on top."
" YAYyyy, wait I can't."
Sweetie looked challenged," Why no-, oh yeah. Thats right."
Ice Drop sat and looked around for an answer." Why can't you do it."
" I can't do it because, um...ah..."
" You can't fly can you."
" What, ha-ha, of course I can fly."
" No you can't, look at your wings."
"What's wrong with my wings?" Scootaloo was giving off a look that deceived her own words.
" Just look at them, there so..."
" So what!"
" There so loose."
" What do you mean by loose?" Scootaloo had almost choked back on her tears.
" You clearly haven't preened them before. I can't believe I didn't notice it before, but you can't fly with wings that would shed all there feathers if you took off."
" Haha, ya, there just a little loose. Thats something we can take care of back home."
" You mean at the orphanage?"
"It's not an orphanage!" Scootaloo was searing at his remark.
" Ok, whatever."
" Just because your an orphan doesn't mean everypony there is."
The last attack stuck Ice Drop. Hard." I-I-I, oh forget it." Ice Drop took off out the door back to the Homing center.
" Scootaloo, what did you just do." Apple Bloom was the one mad now. " We needed him to hang the lights at the top of the tree!"
"W-we can do it without him."
" HOW!" Apple Bloom had moved close to Scootaloo and was yelling right into her face.She sounded like a normal pony at the time and didn't carry her accent.
" We'll find out how."
