	A cold wind blew on my back as Sunny and I exited the treeline. The place was quiet aside from the crunching of snow as the two of us trotted towards town. 
"So ummm... didn't you say it wasn't going to snow for a few weeks?" I say as I try to start a conversation.
"Well potato tomato. They're all the same!" she answers back.
"Um no... no they're not actually."
"Well they're both foods right?"
"... ... ... Your missing the point," I try to reason. "anyways... I was just surprised that it happened so fast."
The two of us continue march on into town as we chatted.
"Well the weather ponies are prone to doing that." She suddenly pipes up. "It's all about being top secret or something like that."
I nod my head pretending to understand even though I had no idea of what she was talking about. I mean weather ponies? This place has weather ponies... I was just starting to ponder how these things would even work? Sunny must have trailed off behind me because the next thing I knew. *Thwack!* The freezing cold slush mixture of water ice slapped slowly slipped off my neck. I gave out a small shiver before spinning around. *Thwack* Only in time to be hit with another snowball. I took a hoof and wiped off what was left of it. My eyes scanned around looking for the mare. Then I heard giggles. I looked around but there was no pony to be seen only a single tree...Ah ha! I scooped up a hoof full of snow my self and quietly crept my way over to the tree. I could here the small laughs a bit louder now and I was sure she was just right behind it. I ponced to the side of the icy tree and quickly lobed my snowball into thin air? Just then the tree shook and the thick snow a top it fell upon me. 
"Ahhhhh!," I shriek out, " cold cold cold."
Behind me a burst of laughter came out. I turn around and face Sunny who was laughing tears by now. I jog in-place trying to warm myself back up as she laughed. 
"Hahaha! I gotcha good didn't I?" she said as she tried to get  to get a breath of air.
I glared at her red with embarrassment. I wanted to get upset with her but I realized she really did get me. I facehoof myself as I began to see how I was duped so easily. I myself broke out a little smile as I kicked some snow at her. She gave out a small shudder as the snow covered her.
"Well enough fooling around I really I want to see this town!" I say excitedly. 
Sunny lifted a hoof and brushed off a clump of snow off her muzzle. "Fine fine" she says in a sort of defeated way.
The two of us were on our way again marching through the snow. The scarf around me had grown a bit damp and I longed for some place warm. Sunny on the other hoof, continued to roll around the snow as we trotted on. Not long after we came to a small dirt path that cut into the beginnings of the town. It seemed like the snow had been scooped of along it which I was thankful for. Now my hoofs were out of the freezing slush. We passed the first few cottages and soon I began to saw other ponies! 'So Sunny and I weren't the only ponies after all' I thought. A few glanced over and gave a few waves, others a few "good mornings." The towns people seemed nice enough to make this town likable. Just then a thought came to me.
"So um... Sunny. What exactly are we doing here? Were not exactly gonna go sightseeing are we? Not that I don't mind of course."
"Haha! Well yes and no. I would really like to show you around the town and stuff but we're also here to pick up some groceries. I also thought I would let you air out a bit" She said that last part teasingly. 
"Oh ok then. So what's out first stop?"
"Well I figured why not head over to bakery right quick. Their first daily loaves should have just about finished." Sunny said gleefully.
I nodded and proceeded to follow her. As we trotted down the road a massive building came into view. However it was nothing like any building I've seen before, instead it was shaped like a giant gingerbread house! Gumdrops and all! I began to pick up my pace curious of this strange idea in my head. I passed by sunny and headed over to one of it's candy cane looking poles. I took a look to my left and another to my right. For now there was nopony in the streets aside from Sunny. I took a lick and quickly regretted it. It was just some ordinary painted wooden pole. What was I thinking? Just then Sunny had caught up to my trying hard to hold back a snicker. She passed me and said
"the place my look delicious but it's not real! What did you expect?" I facehoofed and pushed the bakery's door open. The sweet warm savory smells poured out as we entered. The bright colorful insides of the room was filled with many windowed displays. Doughnut towers, specialty muffins, heck even a freakin real gingerbread replica of the darn place! I was practically drooling a river already.  Sunny stopped and turned around as I closed the door behind me. She sat back on her haunches and threw up her hoofs.

"Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner!" She exclaimed.

Oh jeez what am I getting myself into?
