"Spiiiike!" Twilight called through to the kitchen, "I'm off for a walk around Ponyville, I need you to watch somepony the Princesses sent to stay with us!"

Spike, now two times taller than Twilight, entered the main room only to freeze at the sight of a dainty crystalline ice mare.
"Wow...you're pretty...er, I mean, uh, ahem, I'm Spike."

Cheeks flushing a slightly darker hint of blue, the ice mare nodded and did a slight curtsy.
"Icene Myst."

Twilight laughed, noting the way Spike was looking at Icene.
"Okay, well like I said, I'm out for a walk, Spike, why don't you show Icene around town, in fact, get some dinner while you're out, my treat. Oh, and Icene is a wendigo, or ice pony, so show off that breath you've got!"

As Spike and Icene Myst exited the door the latter turned to him.

"Breath?"

Spike shrugged for a second before pointing at a scar on his chest.
"Fell on a branch when I was younger, heart my primary heart. Means I can't breath fire, but I can do this!"
Spike blew a soft mist of ice out, using his claws to skillfully make a small replica of a flower that he presented to Icene.

The wendigo stared at the figure in wonder, holding it close.
"It's...it's beautiful!"

Flushing, Spike shrugged.
"Nothing special, I can do it anytime. Not many ponies find it too cool anyway. In fact, you'd be the first Icene."

"Oh no, I think it is amazing, and please, call me Myst."

Spike nodded, an the pair of them started walking around town, quickly becoming fast friends.
