> A Snowy Love > by The Cosmic Consciousness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: What's going on? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sleep. You didn't enjoy it when you had to go to bed, but you liked it in the morning. But a dangerous beast made you wake up... "Thunder! It's time for school!" Your mom yelled from downstairs. You grumbled as you got up and went downstairs. "Well, well, well. If it isn't mister sleepyhead" Your mother said when you entered the dining room. You rolled your eyes when she said that as you began to eat your breakfast. Once you were done with your breakfast you grabbed your backpack and ran off for school. "Tell Snowdrop I said hi!" You heard your mom say. "Okay, mom!" You yelled back before you started flying up to Cloudsdale. "...and that's how the the clouds we stand on are made" Your teacher said finishing her lecture. You slept the whole time she was lecturing before somepony tapped your shoulder. You looked up to see it was one of those prick fillies in your class. "What?" You groaned. "I was just wondering if you'd like to... Umm... go to the Dance that's happening this week?" She said blushing a little. 'Ahh, yes. The Cloudsdale Middle School Dance. You've heard about it happening this week and... Wait... One of the stuck-up fillies in your class asked you to the Dance!?' You thought to yourself jotting up in your seat. "Wait. You're asking me to the dance?" You said pointing your hoof at yourself. "Y-yes" The filly said blushing even more. You were dumbfounded. One of the rich fillies in your class, who never bothered to talk to you, just asked you to the dance. "O-okay" You stuttered. The filly smiled and mouthed 'Thank you' before turning back to look at your teacher. You seriously thought you were dreaming. A filly known as your friend, Snowdrop, slooped back in her seat after hearing you say yes to that other filly. A tear fell from her face. After school you walked out of the school to be greeted by your other friend, Freezy Frost. He had a Cutie Mark on his flank of a drill and an ice block. His special talent was Ice Sculpting. You were pretty surprised when he slipped on the ice while holding a sword that was given to him by his father and saw him flip and make a perfectly straight line. You still haven't gotten a Cutie Mark, but that didn't bother you at the least. "Hey, man! How was School?" He said walking next to you. "Well. I learned how clouds are made. Also I got asked to the dance by one of the stuck-up fillies" You answered. "Wow, dude. You are one lucky colt, my friend" He said patting you on the back. You smiled before noticing a pony walking by itself. You knew it was Snowdrop. "Hey Snowdrop!" You said walking over to her. She noticed your voice and said "H-hi, Thunder". You got confused by this. She usually says that happily, but she's acting weird. "Is there something wrong, Snowdrop?" You asked her. "N-no, nothing's wrong, Thunder" She said quietly, her cheeks Rose-Red. "Are you sure? You're acting pretty odd" You said. "Oh! Ummm.... Igottago, bye!" She quickly said before flying off. "That was weird" You said to yourself. "Hey, Thunder!" Freezy said walking up next to you. You turned to look at him. "Yeah?" You said. "I gotta get home before mom yells at me. Seeya!" He said flying off towards his home. "Bye!" You said waving. ======================================================================== "Are you okay Thunder? You haven't touched your dinner at all" Your concerned mother asked you. "Mom, can I ask a question?" You said looking up at her. "Of course you can, honey!" She said ruffling your mane. "Snowdrop's been acting weird lately, mom. Her cheeks have been turning red whenever I talk to her" You said. You mother giggled at this before saying "I'm sure you'll find out soon enough" before patting your head. You were utterly confused by this. You went to bed thinking about what your mom said. 'I'll find out eventually? What does she mean by that?' You thought before falling asleep. Back up at Cloudsdale... Snowdrop was out on her cloud next to her house. She was thinking about you and what you said to that filly. She groaned because of this. 'What's wrong with me? I should be happy for him... But why do I feel like this?' She thought to herself. "Snowdrop?" She heard her name being said by her mother. "Mom?" She said. "What are you doing out here, Snowdrop" Her mom said flying over to the cloud. "Th-thinking about something" She said blushing. Her mom noticed this and smiled a little. "Something? Or somepony?" Her mom said laying down next to Snowdrop and putting her wing over her. "Umm... I-it's about Thunder" Snowdrop said. "I don't know why but at school today, I heard him getting asked out by one of the other fillies. And... I felt something" She continued. Her mom smiled at this before saying "What did you feel?". "I-i don't know" Snowdrop said drooping her head down. "I think I know what you're feeling, Snowdrop" Her mom said. "R-really? What is it?" Snowdrop said putting her head back up. "Remember how I told you how I fell in love with your father?" Her mom said. "Y-yes" Snowdrop said, confused about where this was going. "I think you're feeling about him like I felt about your father" Her mom said. "Y-you mean.. I'm in love with Thunder?" Snowdrop said with her face turning red. "Yes, Snowdrop" Her mom said nuzzling Snowdrop. 'I know everything now' Snowdrop thought to herself. END OF PROLOGUE > Chapter One: Emotions emerge (Updated) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You tossed and turned all night thinking about what your mom said to you. "You'll find out soon enough" Her voice echoed though your thoughts. "AHH!" You screamed jumping out of your bed. You breathed in and out really fast. You looked around and sighed knowing it was just a dream. You groaned before noticing that the area below your stomach was itchy. You were confused by this and looked down at the area. "It's okay, Thunder. Colts your age normally have that happen to them" Your Mom said while you were slowly eating your breakfast. "Mom, it's the size of the Flagpole I made once" You said still eating your breakfast. Your mom blushed when you said that. You sighed. "I gotta go to school. Later Ma!" You said finishing your breakfast, grabbing your backpack, and running out the door. "...And that's how babies are made" Your Health Teacher finished. You heard Freezy barf in a Trash Can after hearing that. "Sick" You mumbled to yourself. After School... "I didn't know my dad had one of those!" Freezy said walking next to you out of School. "I can't believe I came out of a open line" You said shuddering. "Sick dude, sick" Freezy said. You then noticed Snowdrop sitting on a stray cloud next to the School. "Hang on Freezy. I'll see ya later" You said looking at Freezy before flying towards the Cloud. Snowdrop was deep in thought about something (You, doofus). "Hey, Snowdrop!" You said flying over to her and sitting next to her. "O-oh. Hey, Thunder" Snowdrop shyly said. "You okay?" You asked poking her wing. "Umm... Thunder?" Snowdrop said blushing. "Yeah?" You said. "I think I should repay you for helping me all those years" Snowdrop said with her cheeks turning Rose-Red. "What do you mea-" You were interrupted by a pair of lips locking with yours. You went wide-eyed because of this. One of your closest friends, just kissed you. She stopped kissing you and smiled, nuzzling you. 'I think I got a Marefriend' You thought to yourself. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Is there something on your mind, Thunder?" Your mom asked you noticing that you were sighing happily. "I think I'm in love" You sighed dreamily. Your mom smiled and ruffled your mane. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" You yelled getting up and running towards the door and opening it to show somepony you thought you'd never see again. "Dad?" You said. The stallion in Royal Armor nodded and ruffled your mane. 'Two great things in a day? SCORE!' You thought to yourself. "What did I miss, sport?" Your dad asked you. "The lucky colt got himself a Marefriend" Your mom responded. "I'm proud of you, sport!" Your dad said patting you on the back. You smiled because of this. But something was clawing at the back of your mind. 'THE DANCE!' You thought which stopped you from smiling. 'Aww Buck' You thought mentally facehoofing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, today's the day before the dance... This is gonna be hard as BUCK! You did the usual. Got out of bed, went downstairs, ate breakfast, and went to school. Here comes the hard part... "...And the Ancient Hero of Equestria sealed..." Your History Teacher droned on about some Stallion who saved Equestria or something. "Psst!". 'Oh crap' You thought to yourself. You turned to see that stuck-up mare who asked you to the dance a few days ago. "You ready for the dance?" She asked you while smiling. You gulped. 'This is it' You thought. "Hey! He's my date!": You heard Snowdrop yell. You turned to see Snowdrop with anger in her blind eyes. 'Ohhhhhh boy' You thought to yourself while sinking into your seat. "As if! I asked him first!" The stuck-up mare yelled back. Everypony turned to see them argue. "He's mine!" Snowdrop yelled. "No! He's mine!" The rich mare yelled back. "Thunder's mine!" Snowdrop yelled. "No! Thunder's mine!" The rich mare yelled back. They were so distracted by their fight that they didn't notice you sneak out of the Classroom. You sighed as you slooped down outside of the room. "Why me?" You said to yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After School... "They're still arguing?" Freezy said sitting next to you and watching Snowdrop and the rich mare fighting for you. "Yep'" You said. "I bet Snowdrop will win. What about you?" Freezy said. "Not betting" You responded. "Uhh... Dude? That stuck-up mare is hitting Snowdrop!" Freezy yelled. "What!?" You yelled getting up and running towards them and stepping in between them. Only to be hit by the rich mare where your scar is, causing the wound to be ripped open, causing you to bleed. "GAH!" You screamed in pain. The mare just looked at you wide-eyed before running away. Snowdrop heard your yelp of pain. "T-thunder? Are you okay?" She sadly said with her ears down. Blood dripped from your scar onto the cloud ground, causing it to turn red. "Hang on dude! I'll get the nurse!" Freezy yelled running back into the school. A crowd of the students at your school surrounded you with worried and surprised faces. 'Yep. Like I said. It was gonna be hard. And it was...' You thought to yourself before passing out from pain and blood loss. END OF CHAPTER ONE > Chapter Two: Memories > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's going on? You remember blacking out... Wait a minute... Isn't this Preschool? Why am I here? Wait a minute... Is that me!?! You were a young colt that couldn't fly yet. Your mother brought you to Cloudsdale's Preschool on her back and she dropped you off and said you shouldn't worry, and that she would pick you up when school was over. You saw the Preschool for the first time ever. You walked up to the school curiously, but before you could put a hoof inside the school, you heard voices coming from your left. You turned to see five colts picking on a young filly, her fur was light cyan and her mane was white and light cyan colored. "Haha! You're blind, ya wuss!" A colt said kicking some cloud in the filly's face. The other colts laughed as the filly cried. "Hey!" You yelled angrily at them. The colt who kicked some cloud in her face looked at you. "What?" He said, clearly annoyed that you interrupted him. "Stop doing that!" You yelled back at him. The colt smirked and kicked some more cloud into the filly's face. "And what are you going to do about it, pipsqueak?" He said laughing. Your anger built up because of that. "Well... I'm going to do this!" You said running up to him, turning around, and bucking him in the chin. The colt staggered back a little. The other four colt that were with him backed off a little. 'Clearly this colt was well known around here' You thought turning back around to face him, only for his hoof to graze your left eye, leaving a bad cut there because of it. You yelped in pain because of this and put your hoof up to it. "That's what you get for interrupting me!" The colt backing up to get ready for another blow. "A-hem!" You turned around to see a mare with light orange fur and light grey hair, behind her was... Freezy. "Leafstem! What have I told you about this!?" The mare yelled walking up next to you. Leafstem gulped and he turned to see if his buddies were there, but they bailed, he turned back slowly. The mare looked down at you to see your injury and gasped, she turned to Leafstem. "You're suspended for a year!" She yelled. Leafstem flinched a little hearing this. The mare looked at the filly that you saw Leafstem kicking clouds into. "Are you okay, Snowdrop?" The mare asked. Snowdrop slowly nodded and turned towards the mare. The mare looked down at you. "Did you see if anything happened to her?" The mare said. "Yes, ma'am. I saw him kicking the clouds into her face and I tried to intervene" You said still holding your wound. You turned to see a surprised expression on Snowdrop's face. The mare smiled a little. "What's your name?" The mare said. "Thunder Slash" You said. "Well, you tried to defend Snowdrop. Nopony's ever been that nice before" The mare said looking at you then at Snowdrop, who was blushing a little.. "Snowdrop. Do you have anything to say to Thunder?" The mare said smiling. "Th-thanks, Thunder" Snowdrop said facing you. That's the first time you saw her eyes. The first time you saw that she was blind. "Are you sure he'll be okay?" Your worried mother asked your doctor. "Yes, ma'am. But it'll take a long time for it to fully heal. Your mother nodded and looked at you. You looked back at her with your one good eye. You remember your left eye being bandaged for two years before you could see out of it again. You went back to the school and became friends with Snowdrop and Freezy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pain. Freaking pain. You hated it, but you knew it was going to be there for a while. You opened your eye to see that your were in the Cloudsdale hospital. You remembered what happened and you put a hoof up to your left eye. You felt bandages where your eye was. You looked around the room to see your friends, Freezy and Snowdrop, sleeping in beds that was next to yours. 'They must've been tired' You thought to your self sitting and yawning. You heard some ruffling, then a yawn. It was Snowdrop, she woke up and turned towards you. "Are you awake, Thunder?" She said quietly. "Yeah" You quietly said back. You saw her smile as she hopped off her bed and walked over to yours. 'Wow, her senses keep getting better and better' You thought as you scootched over to make room for her. She jumped onto the bed and sat next to you. "Is your eye feeling better, Thunder?" She asked you. "Yeah" You said putting your hoof on the bandages and rubbing them a bit. "I'm sorry for what happened" Snowdrop said slouching down a bit. "It's not your fault, Snowdrop" You said hugging her. She squeaked when you hugged her but soon she hugged you back. "Hey, Snowdrop?" You whispered. "Yes, Thunder?" She said whispered back. "Wanna be my date for the dance?" You whispered. Her face turned red as she hyperventilated. She stopped when you put your lips on her. She kissed back. You both stopped kissing. "Hey, Thunder?" She said. "Yeah?" You said. "I'd love to" She said kissing you again. 'Guess this isn't as bad as I thought it was' You thought to yourself. You stopped kissing when you heard giggling. You turned to see your and Snowdrop's mom smiling at you both. 'Who is it?" Snowdrop said. "Let's just say our moms know that we kissed" You said kissing her again. Your life. It's going great. END OF CHAPTER TWO > Chapter Three: The Dance Part 1/2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today was the day of the dance. Obviously, you were excited as heck about it. Because of your marefriend, Snowdrop. You used your hoof to straighten your bowtie on your tuxedo that you bought with your allowance that you saved up (You were saving it for something else, but you didn't care). Your mom walked into the room and saw you wearing it. "My little stallion is going to a dance" She said ruffling your mane a bit. You gave her an annoyed glance, you spent a long time trying to get your hair right. You sighed as you combed your mane once again. Your mom uttered a "Sorry" before walking out of your room. You looked at yourself in the mirror. 'Not bad, if I do say so myself' You thought to yourself as you smiled. You walked out of your room and went downstairs where you were greeted by your dad smiling at you and patting you on the back. "Try not to do anything serious, okay?" He said winking at you. You blushed realizing what he meant. "Dad! Th-that isn't going to happen! I-i'm too young!" You said with your face turning red. Your dad chuckled seeing this. "I'm just joking, sport. Have a great time there" He said patting you on the back again. You waved goodbye to your parents as you walked out the door. You started flying towards Cloudsdale. 'Wonder how Snowdrop's doing' You thought to yourself as you flew closer to Cloudsdale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snowdrop was getting ready as well. Her mom helped her get dressed and helped her put some makeup on. Snowdrop didn't know what she looked like, so she turned to her mom. "Mom, do I look... nice?" She asked blushing a little. "Of course you do, honey. i'm sure that Thunder will love it" Her mom said kissing her on the forehead. Snowdrop blushed a little more after hearing that. "Uh... Mom?" She asked shyly. "Yes, Snowdrop?" Her mom said. "Could you help me... You know" Snowdrop said pointing at her eyes. Her mom realized what she meant. "Of course i'll help you get there, Snowdrop" Her mom said ruffling her mane a little. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow, just wow. You never saw the school like this! There was decorative ribbons and balloons all about the perimeter of the school. You heard some ruffling of wings and you turned to see... OHMYCELESTIA! Snowdrop looked amazing! "I-gee-wow" You stuttered as you walked up to her. Her mom giggled seeing you act like this. "Do you like it, Thunder?" Snowdrop shyly asked you. "Y-y-yes" You stuttered. Snowdrop blushed a little hearing this. Her mom giggled again. "I'll leave you two love birds alone" She said before flying away. You looked at Snowdrop for a second. "Wanna go in?" You asked her before grabbing her hoof. "S-sure" She stuttered. You smiled as you both walked inside the school. You never saw the gymnasium look like this! It was littered with decorations and ponies dancing. You went over to the snack bar and grabbed two glasses of punch and walked back over to Snowdrop. You gave her a glass and you both drank the punch. "This is pretty delicious" You said after you were done drinking your punch. "Yeah, it is" Snowdrop said after finishing her drink as well. You looked around at the ponies dancing and saw you friend Freezy dancing with his crush. You smiled seeing this and you turned to look at Snowdrop. "Hey, Snowdrop?" You asked her. "Yes, Thunder?" She said. You grabbed her hoof. "May I have this dance?" You asked her. She blushed a little before nodding. "Yes, you may" She answered smiling. You walked her over to the dance floor and you both started dancing. 'Wow, she's pretty good' You thought seeing her dance like a pro. Suddenly a slow song played. You looked around to see ponies dancing close to eachother. You were surprised when you felt Snowdrop next to you. You looked towards her to see that she was smiling. You smiled as well as you danced with her. 'BEST. NIGHT. EVER!' You happily thought to yourself as you danced with her by your side. You danced and danced with her. That is until you felt something wham across your cheek. You fell down and you heard the music stop and you heard your classmates gasping. You looked up to see... oh no, not him! "Well, well, well. If it isn't little Scarface and the blind wuss!" Leafstem smiled as he pushed Snowdrop, causing her to fall right on her haunches awkardly. "Leafstem" You growled as you got up. Leafstem turned to look at you. "I'm gonna kick your whiny ass, Thunder" He growled. "Oh crap" You heard Freezy say. Leafstem walked up to you. "I've been waiting to do this for Seven Bucking Years" He yelled hitting you across the face. You fell to the floor again, holding your nose. You looked down to your hoof to see blood. You looked up to see Leafstem grinning. "Guess you're not gonna fight, loser" He said turning around and walking towards Snowdrop. He punched her in the face. Causing her muzzle to bleed. You were filled with anger seeing this. You slowly got up and looked at him. "Hey, Leafstem!" You yelled at him. He turned around and smirked. "Guess you're fighting then" He said smiling. "Give it your best shot, loser" He said before laughing. "I'm gonna send you to Tarturus!" You yelled running towards him with anger in your eyes. TO BE CONTINUED IN PART TWO...
