//------------------------------// // About a Year Later // Story: For Christmas // by DiscordFan //------------------------------// I was walking home as snow flurried about. The moon shone brightly on the ground, making the snow glisten. I felt a migraine attack as my spiraled horn grew colder. I shivered in my finely tailored suit from, ur... Canterlot Carousel, I think? Whatever it was, there was a slim blue pony there with orange hair. I could see my house up ahead, decorated with rainbow lights and a festive green wreath. I turned left onto my snow-shoveled sidewalk. I got my key from my wallet and unlocked my maroon door. "~gasp~ Sounds like Daddy's home," a voice said from another room. A childish gurgle and giggle replied. In a flash of blue fire, I lost the spiral horn in favor of a sharp curved one and gained frost-colored insect wings. I walked down a short hall and turned left where a mare and a colt waited for me. The baby colt was a grayish blue with immaculate white hair. His warm purple eyes shone with glee. A small curved horn protruded from his forehead. "Da! Da, da, da, da, da da da," he babbled. In a swift motion, I scooped him up into my arms. "Hey, Snow Cover," I buzzed playfully. He began giggling wildly as I tickled his tummy. "Uh oh! I the tickle monster!" From Frost Gaze's spot, she laughed at my antics. "Well, the tickle monster needs to stop, so we can eat some dinner," she said, getting up and heading to the kitchen. I gasped at Snow. "Din din? Are you ready for din din?" "Da, da, da, da da da da da!" "I'm just gonna assume that's a 'yes'," I laughed.
