"Happy Hearths Warming Day, Scootaloo." Dash said to the shaking foal under the blanket. Scootaloo woke up slowly, rubbed her eyes, and motioned for the 'feathery blanket' as Scootaloo called it. Dash covered her foal, and they both went back to sleep.
When they were both awake, Dash made her breakfast. Dash flew the both of them to the couch, and sat down. She turned on the T.V, and changed it to Stewart The Stallion. Dash always loved watching weather, so she bought a grounded house a few years back. Perfect timing... Again... Dash Lifted the blinds, and saw the snow covering the ground. It was beautiful. Scootaloo seemed interested, and stood on her adoptive mother. "M-mama. Why white on gwound outfide?" Said Scoots. Dash decided to show her, rather than explain.
Dash found her winter coat and hat from when SHE was a foal, and put them on Scootaloo. Scootaloo tried to remove them, but was stopped by Dash. "No, no Scoots. You need these on for outside." Dash said with a strong, yet soft voice. Dash opened the door, as cold entered the house. Scootaloo 'ran' as fast as she could out the door.
Scootaloo put her hoof in the snow for the first time, and retracted a bit. "Mama... It cowd!" Scootaloo said, with sad eyes to Dash. Dash nodded, and motioned for her to step off of the step. Scootaloo retracted multiple times, before stepping off. Scootaloo began stepping on the soft snow. Scootaloo giggled, and looked at Dash.
Scootaloo was jumping/stumbling around in the snow. Applejack walked by smiling, with foal Applebloom at her side. Applebloom was almost the exact age as Scootaloo. Applejack looked, as she passed Rainbow Dash. "Hey, Dash? What'cha doin' here at your ground home?" She said, in her southern flair.
"Well... You know... Wanted Scoots to get used to snow." Dash motioned to Scootaloo, who was rolling around in the snow. Scootaloo's wings began to flutter, and she lifted about an inch off of the ground. She landed back down when her wings stopped, the snow catching her. Scootaloo looked back at her wings, and then at Dash and AJ, who both had their mouths gaping open.
"Got'cha!" Dash said, throwing a snowball at AJ's mouth. AJ giggled, and threw one back. The 2 fillies then tried to make snowballs, and threw them. They didn't go far, but they did go somewhere. This turned into an all out snowball fight between Dash/Scootaloo and AJ/Applebloom. The fight went on for 5 minutes, until AJ threw a snowball which hit Scootaloo right in the face.
Scootaloo whined a bit, and then began crying. AJ gasped, and ran over. "Ah'm so sorry, Sugarcube! Ah didn't mean it!" AJ said, trying to pick up the sobbing foal, who just swatted AJ's hooves away, and stumbled over to Dash. Dash just scooped up Scootaloo.
AJ walked over to Dash, and began to talk, but was interupted. "I know, AJ. You didn't mean it, but she's a foal! She doesn't know that. You might want to go." Dash said, motioning behind AJ. AJ nodded, and went off with Applebloom. Dash cradled the scared foal until she calmed down.
"I know you've suffered before. I can tell from those eyes. I've seen the same eyes in different stallions and mares." Dash said, and took the foal inside. She heated a fire, and closed it off with a glass cover. She slid the foal over to the fire, and sat next her. Dash covered the foal with her wing, and they sat there until bedtime.
