//------------------------------// // Prologue: The Birth of my little Snow Cloud the alicorn // Story: My Dear filly Snow Cloud. // by Infinty Blade Brony //------------------------------// There in the Ponyville hospital, on one of the beds, laid a pregnant Derpy Hooves. She was howling in pain, squeezing the hoof of her husband Ian Lawrence DelValle, known to some of the locals as Music Within us. The reason for her pain; birth. She was giving birth to the filly they were expecting for nine months. Odd thing was, however, that it was only three months that passed, and already their little filly was ready to become a part of the world. Music felt no pain at all as he anticipated the filly's arrival. Derpy, however, was cursing up a storm as she pushed even harder each time. Finally, after a long, excruciatingly painful process, Derpy's ears perked up at the sound of crying. Nurse Redheart came to the side of the bed, holding a little unicorn filly wrapped in a sky blue cloth. Then, Music looked atop the baby's head, and noticed the mane was turning the same sky blue as the cloth upon making contact with the cloth. The baby's coat was a deep blue, almost as blue as the night sky. After a few hours, the little one finally opened her eyes, revealing them to be the color of the sun in all its blazing glory. Music looked at the beautiful little filly his wife Derpy gave birth to, and realized he was proud of being a father. He put his forehooves on the side of the crib, brought his head in, and kissed the little filly's muzzle. It took a little debating on what her name should be. After talking to Lightning Storm, they all agreed on the name Snow Cloud, due to the filly's interest in the precious little snowflakes that fell a day before they visited Lightning Storm. Music took care of the little filly while Derpy went back to work as official Ponyville Mailmare. After a few days, Music decided to take her to the music studio to show the filly to Vinyl and Octavia. Big mistake. He saw Thunder Roller there, laughing with Vinyl, and when he saw the baby, he stared in awe. Vinyl went "d'aww" and headed upstairs. Octavia did the same, but passed out afterwards. The last thing she said before snoring silently was "So...cute..." Vinyl came back down with the laptop and hooked it up to the speakers. Music realized almost too late, and held out a hoof to stop her, but Vinyl played the latest song she made while he was gone. The baby immediately cried, so loud the speakers broke. The speakers didn't even stand a chance. Vinyl stopped the dub-trot, and came up to the baby. Music's eyes welled up as he looked at the filly's right ear. Her right ear was bleeding. Not an easy start for the young filly. Music's hope, however, was that she wouldn't have a terrible life. He prayed to Celestia to bless his child, and his prayer was answered when Tia visited the next day, picking up the newest track he made called 'Piano VS BPM.' Before leaving, she noticed that the filly had her right ear covered with an ace bandage, and bestowed a beautiful life upon her. Suddenly, two little wings sprouted from the filly's back and fluttered a bit. One day, it was snowing again. Music took Snow Cloud with him that day for some grocery shopping. A snowflake fell on her muzzle, and she picked it up with her tongue. The snowflake didn't even melt, he noticed. It just danced on her tongue, spinning and shaking. At first, he thought she was having those magic surges Rarity warned him about, but after looking at the filly's horn realized there was no magic involved. This intrigued Music but he let it go. Little did he know that this little filly was destined to have quite the interesting life. My Dear filly Snow Cloud Written by: Music within us Edited by: Derpy! Yay! She's my editor, now.
