The Life of Autumn Frost

When Frost awoke he was greeted with chirping birds and a smiling pink face at the edge of the bed.

“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?” said the pink face.

“Umm, I am Autumn Frost. Where is Fluttershy?”

“You know Fluttershy. Well you should know Fluttershy since you’re sleeping in her bed that’s in her room that’s in her attic that’s in her house. I mean duh. Next time use your head Pinkie.”

A voice from across the room called to the pink pony saying “Let the pony have a little bit of space Pinkie. She only just woke up and all.”

Frost sat up in bloody bed sheets and saw four ponies in the room all looking back at her curiously. “Who are you all?”

“Well Autumn Frost if you must know we are Fluttershy’s friends.” Pointing to the rest of the ponies in the room including herself she said, “You’ve already met Pinkie, I am Applejack, this is Rarity, and this here is Rainbow Dash.”

“Nice to meet you all.” Looking closer at the rainbow maned pony she noticed her from Cloudsdale and said, “Hey I know you. You’re the pony who did the Sonic Rainboom.”

“The one and only. I also did it when I was a filly too,” said Rainbow Dash.

“Now Rainbow, there is no need to boast,” said Rarity.

“Hey, she’s the one who asked me.”

“Actually, for clarification, I am a colt,” interrupted Autumn Frost.

“Oh,” said Rainbow Dash surprised.

“You’re a colt?” said Rarity. Frost gave her a nod. “I don’t mean to offend you dearie, but you just look sooooooo. How do I put this lightly? Feminine.”

“Don’t worry. I have been teased for that a lot with the whole long mane put back in a bandana and wearing my tail girly and the girly voice. I was built to look feminine. I don’t care if you think of me as a mare or not.”

“Phew. Goodness that is a relief. I’m sorry that you have been bullied for being feminine Autumn Frost,” said Rarity sympathetically.

“Oh don’t worry about it. And call me Frost from now on.”

“No problem Sugarcube,” said Applejack.

“So where is Fluttershy?” Frost asked.

“I’m downstairs making breakfast,” called Fluttershy.

“Okay,” confirmed Frost.

“So Frost, where you livin these days,” said Rainbow.

“Umm, no place,” replied Frost.

“You don’t have a home?” questioned Rarity.

“Dontcha have parents that look after you?” Applejack added.

“Pff. My parents don’t give two feathers about me. All I know about them is that my dad was a Pegasus and my mom was an Earth Pony. Nuttin else,” replied Frost grimly.

“Well I insist that you stay with one of us because I refuse to let you live on the streets,” affirmed Rarity.

“No I should be fine just living in some of the trees in the Everfree forest. But thank you for the offer,” said Frost.

“We do appreciate the manners and all but that wasn’t’ an offer Sugarcube,” said AJ.

“Yeah sorry but that is a no can do with me. Any friend of mine, especially one without a home, deserves all the love and care we can give you,” confirmed Pinkie.

“You girls are my friends too?” Frost asked shocked by the Pink pony.

“Well duh. Why do you think we are all here? Fluttershy told us all about what happened two nights ago,” said Pinkie Pie.

“I am so happy that the four of you can all be my friends. You see I have never had any friends before Fluttershy came along, and now you guys too. I am just so happy to have friends,” Frost said starting to get tears in her eyes.

“Hey Sugarcube there is no need to get all huss and fuss about it. We’re here now. That’s all that matters,” said Applejack comfortingly.

“Umm Applejack, I think you’re missing just one pony from this picture,” added Rainbow Dash. As if on cue, that pony knocked on the door.

“Coming.” Fluttershy called and she opened the door to let the purple coated pony inside.

“Sorry I’m late girls. Royal duty calls,” said the pony while trotting up the stairs.

“Oh that’s quite alright Twilight. Our new friend Frost was just telling us about her – Oh, I’m sorry, his experiences before he met us,” said Rarity casually.

“Your friends with the Princess?” asked Frost aloud.

“Well yeah. We’ve all been friends with her before she became the Princess. We’ve known each other for quite some time now,” replied Pinkie.

“And that doesn’t only mean that we are her friends. You are too,” said Rainbow Dash.

“I… I don’t know what to say. I would be honored to be your friend Princess Twilight Sparkle,” said Autumn Frost as eloquently as she could.

“No-No the pleasure is all mine Autumn Frost,” replied Twilight.

“Hey! Now that we are all friends why don’t we all have a slumber party tonight at Twilight’s?” suggested Pinkie. “That way we can get to know Frost better.”

“That sounds like a mighty fine idea Pinkie. Count me in,” said Applejack.

“Yeah I’m down for a sleepover at Twilight’s place,” added Rainbow Dash.

“Oh I don’t know girls, it might be tight for me to do this because I have to do a ton of dresses for Hoity Toity and I don’t know if I would have time to cram it all in,” said Rarity doubtfully.

“Oh come on now Rarity don’t be such a party pooper,” said Pinkie Pie.

“Yeah Rare, don’t let us gals down on this,” added Rainbow Dash.

“Oh. You know what. I am going to tell Hoity Toity that he might just have to find somepony else to make his dresses. Nothing is more important than my friends,” said Rarity triumphantly.

“Alright then. Good. Twi is this all gonna be alright with you?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah I have no problems with hosting a slumber party,” replied Twilight.

“I will definitely come to the sleepover too,” said Fluttershy while holding out a platter full of food for Everypony.

“So that only leaves one more pony,” said Pinkie taking a sunflower and spinach sandwich and two chocolate chip cookies while looking at Frost.

“Yeah sure. I have never been to a slumber party before though so don’t leave me in the dust on it,” replied Frost.

“Don’t worry; I have a book on slumber parties so we can go by that too,” said Twilight.

“Twilight, you have a book on just about everything don’t you?” joked Rainbow.

“Yeah I guess your right on that,” Twilight said. And they all ate their breakfast and laughed together with smiles on their faces.
