My Little Dragon Ball: Icebound

by Tundricwolf

Ch 12: Off to Canterlot

After the battle with Sombra, the Crystal Empire had been returned to normal, the Crystal Heart returned, and Sombra defeated. All of the Crystal Ponies cheered and celebrated, jumping for joy at the end of Sombra’s reign. They even took some time to admire their crystal bodies which had finally returned after what felt like forever. Even the siblings started admiring themselves.

“Woah! This is pretty cool!” Glacier said as he kept admiring himself.

“Yeah it is! I never thought this would happen!” Tundra said with a smile.

“Cool? Cool?!” Came a voice.

Looking to the source of the voice, they found Rarity staring at them with a bit of a manic glare.

"Darling, this is not cool! This is absolutely wondrous! Look at how we glisten and shimmer in the light like freshly polished jewels! Oh, I wish this could last forever!” Rarity said as she squeal and laughed with pure joy.

The siblings just watch rarity do her thing as Tundra leaned over to Applejack and whisper, “is she usually like this?”

“Eeyup.” Applejack said with a slight smirk.

As the siblings just chuckled and kept watching Rarity with the other’s of the mane 6, they were ambushed by the Crystal Ponies. The siblings could barely heard what was being said but they could tell they were being thanked.

“Thank you so much!”

“We wouldn’t have won this without your help!

“You four were amazing!”

All the voice came in like a tidal wave. Once they had calmed down some, the siblings spoke up.

“Thank you, but we didn’t do much.” Said Winter with a shy smile.

“You guess could’ve won this without us.” Tundra said.

“Yeah. I mean, the element bearers could’ve bested Sombra instead of us.” Glacier said rubbing his arm and pointing to the six mares.

“Yeah. We probably wouldn’t even have been needed.” Arctic said scratching the back of his head.

“Maybe, but you did help us win this battle.” Came a voice.

Looking back, they all saw Princess Cadence walking up to them with a smile. Everyone started bowing, but Cadence just smiled.

“No need for that.” Cadence said with a chuckle as they all rose.

“You four didn’t need to help us in this battle, but you did. You also helped train my ponies. You helped them grow stronger so they would be able to defend themselves and each other. I can tell they’re stronger now than ever before. You’ve even helped me and for this, I thank you.” Cadence said with a smile and bowed to them. “You will forever have my gratitude.”

The siblings blushed and smiled before asking Cadence to stop, as it felt strange to have a princess bow to them. Cadence did and let out a chuckle as she thanked them again.

“Well, now that this is over, who’s ready to PARTY?!” Shouted Pinkie, the tiny pink mare riding on her party cannon as it fired shooting confetti and even fireworks.

Everyone began to cheer and the party begun.

As the party got underway, Arctic was approached by a Pegasus mare.

“Excuse me.” Said the mare.

Turning back, Arctic saw the mare. The Pegasus mare had a relatively long gray mane styled in a braid. Her eyes a bright yellow and her coat was a mint green. Her cutie mark was a needle and thread

“Hello ma’am.” Arctic said with a smile.

“My name is Sharps Yarn. I’m Morning Dew’s mother.” Sharps said with a smile.

Arctic stared at her and soon smiled as he bowed.

“It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Yarn.”

“There’s no need for that. I should be bowing to you. You’ve done so much for her. You and your siblings. She really looks up to you four.” Sharps said

“S..she does?” Arctic said, a bit surprised.

“Of course she does. She even told me she wants to be big and strong just like you four.” Sharps smiled brightly at the saiyan.

Arctic couldn’t help but smile at that. He knew the little filly enjoys being around him and his siblings, but he never really expected to hear that she looked up to them.

“We’ll have to go talk to her when this is over.” Arctic said with a smile.

“Please. She would really enjoy seeing you all again. And one more thing.” Sharps said.

Arctic tilted his head slightly and became a bit more alert.

“Morning Dew saw that your clothes were all destroyed and she asked me if I could make some new clothes for you. I’m a fashion designer you see. So I often make various clothes for many different ponies. Well, Morning Dew is often with me. Watching me design clothing. She wants to do it too and often makes little doodles of clothes but is too afraid to ask me to make them or try her hoof at making them herself. Until recently. She wanted you to have some new clothes. So she made many designs and she made one she liked and one she thought you might like.” Sharps said.

Arctic was even more surprised. He wasn’t expecting to hear this. He had known Morning Dew had a liking for fashion design. She told him and the others when they all were locked up in the dungeon. But to hear that she designed something for him? He couldn’t help but smile.

“She actually designed an outfit for me?” Arctic said his eyes welling with tears.

“Of course. She wanted you to have a brand new outfit made by her as her way of saying thank you. I’m here to ask if you would allow me to take your measurements for the outfit.” Sharps said.

Arctic didn’t hesitate to start rapidly nodding with a giant smile on his face.

Sharps took Arctic to her place where she took his measurements and began working on the outfit. Arctic sat and observed. He was amazed by how fast Sharps was when making the outfit. It was also clear to him that Sharps was filled with pride. Pride he could only assume was for her daughter.

After about two hours, Sharps was completely done with outfit.

“Here you go Arctic.” Sharps said giving Arctic the folded up clothing.

“You can use the changing room right over there.” She said pointing to a room.

“Yes ma’am. Thank you.” Arctic said as he rushed in.

After a couple of minutes, Arctic had the outfit on and was admiring it.

“So, what do you think?” Sharps asked.

“I love it!” Arctic said as he stepped out.

“There must be a way I can repay you for this.” Arctic said.

“No need. This is a gift and I’m not taking any payment for it.” Sharps said.

“Are you sure, Ms. Yarn?” Arctic asked.

“Of course I am. Now let’s go enjoy that party, huh?” Sharps said as she trotted up to the door.

Arctic just smiled and followed after her. When he returned, his siblings and the element bearers saw him and were shocked. No more so than rarity.

“Well I’ll be! I like the new outfit Sugarcube.” Applejack said.

“Same here! That looks really cool on you!” Winter said.

“You do look really nice.” Fluttershy said.

“Darling? Who made that outfit? It looks magnificent!” Rarity said with a giant smile as she quickly started examining Arctic’s new outfit admiring the work.

“Ms. Yarn made it, but Morning Dew designed it.” Arctic said.

“Morning dew designed that?” Tundra asked.

“And who’s Ms. Yarn?” Glacier asked.

“Yup, she did. And Ms. Yarn, or Sharps Yarn, is Morning Dew’s mom. And this outfit only took her two hours to make.” Arctic said.

“Uh, who the hay is Morning Dew?” Rainbow asked hovering next to Arctic.

“A little filly who was in the dungeon with us. And is currently resting there recovering from her injuries.” Arctic said.

“A filly designed that and her mother made it in only two hours? My, my, looks like you got some competition Rarity.” Applejack said with a smirk.

“Oh hush.” Rarity said glaring at the farm mare.

“Well, how about we keep this party going?” Glacier asked getting a cheer for everyone else.

The party went on for hours. Games were played, food was eaten, even songs were sang. The party was, overall, an absolute ball. Afterwards, the quartet had made their way to Morning Dew to check up on her. When Morning Dew saw Arctic in the outfit she designed for him, she couldn’t help but smile. The five talked for what felt like hours before eventually making their leave having promised Morning Dew that they’d come see her again. As they stood outside. They saw ponies still having fun even after that party had ended.

“So, what do we do next?” Winter asked.

“I have no idea.” Tundra said.

“Maybe you could come with us.” Said a voice.

Looking back the quarter saw the element bearers.

“You want us to come with you?” Tundra asked.

“I don’t see why not.” Applejack said. “I’m interested in learning more about y’all. Ya done peaked ma interest.”

“I can also learn your favorite ice cream flavors!” Pinkie said appearing on Arctic back with her forelegs and hind legs wrapped around his neck and chest.

Arctic was startled but calmed down and smiled.

“And I get to learn more about you and your kind.” Twilight said, levitating a massive stack of paper and a dozen inkwells and quills. “The chance to learn about an alien race. This is gonna be amazing!” Twilight said bouncing up and down.

Arctic just chuckled watching the mare.

“So where are we gonna go?” Glacier asked.

“We’ll be going to Canterlot to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and tell them what happened.” Twilight said with an even bigger smile, clearly eager to go see the princesses, especially Princess Celestia.

“Alright then. Guess we’re going to Canterlot.” Arctic said.

As the announcement was made that the elements and the siblings would be leaving, the crystal ponies all set gathered to the train station. As they all said their goodbyes and got on the train, the siblings were stopped. It was Morning Dew and her mom. They had come to say goodbye. The siblings gently picked up the filly and hugged her. After getting on board the train, the elements and the siblings, poking out of the window waved to the crowd. As the train began to leave the station, fireworks began to go off in the sky. The crystal ponies cheered and waved back even after the train had left their view. But they all smiled and laughed when they heard them all shout,

“Canterlot, here we come!”
