The sun once again peaked over the horizon to the start of a cold Monday morning. It was snowing outside, but inside Party Favor's house, it was warm and snug. Diamond's eyes slowly awoken. He yawned and looked down at the stallion he was holding. He closed his eyes once again, only to reopen them in shock. He panicked and fell off the side of the bed. This was enough to wake up Party.

"HUH?! WAZZAT?!" Party yelled as he woke from his slumber.

Diamond was on the floor, rubbing his head where he made contact with the ground. 

"What happened last night?" Diamond asked as he stood up.

"I don't know!"

"Did we...?"

"WHAT?!"

"Nothing."

"Okay," Party sighed. "I had trouble sleeping last night, so I sort of got closer to you. Then, you grabbed on to me and held me in place."

Diamond blushed. He looked into Party's eyes, and spoke up. "I'm sorry, dude."

"It's fine."

"So..."

"So, what?"

"We're still having breakfast with Sugar and Night, right?"

"Of course."

"Finally, my hoof is back to normal." Party said triumphantly.

"Yeah."

"So, I know it caused the problem in the first place, but can we head up to that slope again?"

"I don't know." Diamond worried for his friend.

"Come on."

"Fine, but if anything happens to you, I will never forgive myself. I need you to be one hundred percent sure that you want to go."

Party nodded.

They grabbed their gear and put on their scarves, and headed up the trail.
