My filly Snow cloud is going to school now! I hope she can take the pressure. I have loads of faith in her.

You've probably been anticipating this for a while now, and here it is; the sequel to How I Met Derpy.
As the proud parent alongside Derpy, I've taken up the task of recording the life of my daughter, Snow Cloud, as she begins school. Here's the life of my little filly as she struggles in everyday life in her conquest to make friends and learn her special talent.
Guess stars in this story:
Pen Stroke's Nyx from Past Sins (she's adorable).
Lowell (AKA Valentine-crin).

Gage (though you all may know him as Dovahbrony).
Finally, there's the famous Derpy Hooves (her character tag isn't there because you can only put a maximum of 5 character tags).

Prologue: The Birth of my little Snow Cloud the alicorn

There in the Ponyville hospital, on one of the beds, laid a pregnant Derpy Hooves. She was howling in pain, squeezing the hoof of her husband Ian Lawrence DelValle, known to some of the locals as Music Within us. The reason for her pain; birth. She was giving birth to the filly they were expecting for nine months. Odd thing was, however, that it was only three months that passed, and already their little filly was ready to become a part of the world. Music felt no pain at all as he anticipated the filly's arrival. Derpy, however, was cursing up a storm as she pushed even harder each time. Finally, after a long, excruciatingly painful process, Derpy's ears perked up at the sound of crying. Nurse Redheart came to the side of the bed, holding a little unicorn filly wrapped in a sky blue cloth. Then, Music looked atop the baby's head, and noticed the mane was turning the same sky blue as the cloth upon making contact with the cloth. The baby's coat was a deep blue, almost as blue as the night sky.

After a few hours, the little one finally opened her eyes, revealing them to be the color of the sun in all its blazing glory. Music looked at the beautiful little filly his wife Derpy gave birth to, and realized he was proud of being a father. He put his forehooves on the side of the crib, brought his head in, and kissed the little filly's muzzle. It took a little debating on what her name should be. After talking to Lightning Storm, they all agreed on the name Snow Cloud, due to the filly's interest in the precious little snowflakes that fell a day before they visited Lightning Storm. Music took care of the little filly while Derpy went back to work as official Ponyville Mailmare. After a few days, Music decided to take her to the music studio to show the filly to Vinyl and Octavia.

Big mistake.

He saw Thunder Roller there, laughing with Vinyl, and when he saw the baby, he stared in awe. Vinyl went "d'aww" and headed upstairs. Octavia did the same, but passed out afterwards. The last thing she said before snoring silently was "So...cute..." Vinyl came back down with the laptop and hooked it up to the speakers. Music realized almost too late, and held out a hoof to stop her, but Vinyl played the latest song she made while he was gone. The baby immediately cried, so loud the speakers broke. The speakers didn't even stand a chance. Vinyl stopped the dub-trot, and came up to the baby. Music's eyes welled up as he looked at the filly's right ear. Her right ear was bleeding. Not an easy start for the young filly. Music's hope, however, was that she wouldn't have a terrible life. He prayed to Celestia to bless his child, and his prayer was answered when Tia visited the next day, picking up the newest track he made called 'Piano VS BPM.' Before leaving, she noticed that the filly had her right ear covered with an ace bandage, and bestowed a beautiful life upon her. Suddenly, two little wings sprouted from the filly's back and fluttered a bit.

One day, it was snowing again. Music took Snow Cloud with him that day for some grocery shopping. A snowflake fell on her muzzle, and she picked it up with her tongue. The snowflake didn't even melt, he noticed. It just danced on her tongue, spinning and shaking. At first, he thought she was having those magic surges Rarity warned him about, but after looking at the filly's horn realized there was no magic involved. This intrigued Music but he let it go. Little did he know that this little filly was destined to have quite the interesting life.

Author's Note

That was weird, when I found out Snow Cloud was ready to join us in the world of Equestria. I'm glad she was born early, though. I am very patient, but only to an extent. I hope you enjoy the much anticipated sequel. I'm glad my little Snow Cloud here gets her own story. And Derpy is, too. She was all for it. As was Snow Cloud. Anyways, those of you wondering; Derpy and I did...things...in January. She was born during the final days of Winter Wrap-up (the reason it was snowing in April). Again, hope you all enjoy.
Yours Now and Forever,
Music within us
PS: I lied about the Code of Law story being ready. It needs more time.

Her First Day of School (part 1)

"Snow Cloud, it's time to go to school. You ready?" I yelled to the top of the steps. Just yesterday was Snow Cloud's sixth birthday, and she was ready to go school for the first time. Snow Cloud yelled down the steps, "Coming, daddy!" and I heard hoof-steps galloping down the stairs. I soon realized she had Derpy's clumsiness, as she fell down the stairs. I trotted towards her and asked if she was alright. She simply nodded and got back on her hooves. She started to laugh and ran towards the kitchen to eat breakfast. She gobbled it down, burped, said excuse me, then ran for her saddlebags. She had a little trouble putting them on until I came over and tightened the straps. She thanked me, and I walked with her to school. She seemed so eager for school. She wanted to learn, my Snow Cloud. And I felt it my job to encourage her.

"Snow Cloud, do you have that apple you wanted to give Miss Cheerilee?" I asked. She in turn nodded and pulled out an apple from her saddlebag using her magic. I smiled, and ruffled her hair a bit. She put the apple away and leaped into the air, those little wings flapping. I was amazed at how fast she had learned to fly. Finally, we made it to the school, where Miss Cheerilee was waving for the kids to come inside. I brought Snow Cloud to Miss Cheerilee, and waved hello to the teacher. She smiled and said, "Oh, hello there, Music." She then asked, "How's the music coming along?" I told her it was fine, and introduced her to Snow Cloud. "D'aww," replied the teacher. "Isn't she adorable? I'm sure she will be much loved by her fellow classmates. Especially those Cutie Mark Crusaders."

Just hearing their group name made me sick to my stomach. They once hassled me with taking them to the music studio, where they trashed the place. The only one who didn't ruin anything and got their cutie mark was Sweetie Belle. It was a heart with a music note, similar to mine, except it was a normal 1/4 note on the inside. Funny thing is, she still is a part of the group, despite finding her talent already. I will admit though. They'd be some nice friends for Snow Cloud. It was as if they heard their group name get called, because suddenly, there they were. No kidding, it was as if they materialized there, crusader capes and all. Apple Bloom looked at Snow Cloud and said in a southern accent, "Hey there! I'm Apple Bloom. What's your name?"

Snow Cloud simply stared at her red bow and giggled. She then said with cutely executed pronunciation, "Hi. My name is Snow Cwoud." Miss Cheerilee d'awwed and told the CMC to head inside. She then looked to Snow Cloud and told her it'd probably be best for her to do the same before the school bell rang. Snow Cloud hugged me for one last time, then went inside. I headed towards the studio, and got to work on a new Modern Meets Classical track.

"Okay, class! We have a new student today! Her name is Snow Cloud, and this is her first day of school, so please be nice to her!" Said Miss Cheerilee as I stood next to her. I looked around the classroom. I saw the three girls from earlier, some boys (one with scissors for a cutie mark and another with a snail) and two girls who were obviously the popular ones. One of them had a tiara on their flank while the other, a spoon. I decided to sit next to the three girls from earlier. As I took off my saddlebags, the girl with the purple mane and tail and the orange coat of fur waved and smiled. The one next to her with the purple and pink mane mouthed the words "I like your mane." I noticed the girl who said that had their cutie mark. A heart with a 1/4 note in it. It was similar to my daddy's, but my daddy had a treble clef in his. Didn't matter though, I thought as I continued to look around the classroom. I then saw another alicorn, just like me, but with a purple mane and tail and a black coat of fur. She noticed me looking at her, and smiled, waving. I waved back with a shy grin on my face.

"Now then, class," said Miss Cheerilee with a bright smile. "I'm sure you all remember me, but for the sake of a new student, I'll repeat my name. I'm Miss Cheerilee. It's a pleasure teaching you, and I hope we can all get along this year!"

Author's Note

Okay so, EXPLANATION TIME!!! Nyx is in the story due to some roleplay I do with Gage. The roleplay shows that due to an alternate dimension Pinkie Pie (them appearing in Ponyville is explained in Gage's story I get to be a pony! Tales of me in Equestria. ) killing off Nyx's mother, Gage adopted her. Due to this, that's the POV I'll be following. M'kay? (Ah, South Park references, either you love them or hate them).

Her First Day of School (part 2)

"Now then class, if you'll please open your textbooks to page 1, we can get started on our--" said Miss Cheerilee as the school bell rang. She rolled her eyes, still smiling, as she said "Oh, dear me. I lost track of time! It's lunch time, everypony! Go on now, and enjoy your recess." Suddenly, the class took their saddlebags and galloped to the schoolyard. I followed their example, and looked for a place to sit. The three girls from earlier waved me on over to the table they were sitting at, so I thought, 'Why not?' as I trotted over to their table. I sat down and put my saddlebags on the table, then opened the flaps to take out my daffodil and daisy sandwich Mommy made for me. I then took out the juice-box she packed with it. I really do wish I could've said thank you, but she went to work before I came downstairs. I started to eat when I noticed a tugging at my tail. I looked behind me and saw the one who said 'I like your mane' was braiding it. She saw I was looking, and squeed. She then said "What? My older sister, Rarity taught me how to braid. Scootaloo won't let me braid her mane. Same for Applebloom." She then put a band around the end of my tail, and asked me what I thought. I smiled as I watched the braided tail swish back and forth. "It wooks amazing, umm..." It was then I realized I didn't know her name. I told her this, and she said it was Sweetie Belle.

"Weww, Sweetie Bewwe. Nice to meet wou." I held out my hoof, and she took it, shaking it. Then, the two popular girls from earlier came over and glared at me. I kept chewing my food as I watched them stare at me. Finally, after a few minutes, the one with a tiara cutie mark opened her mouth and said, "Would you look at that? Another blank flank with no purpose. Why do you blank flanks even try to fit in with society when you can't even find your talent." I heard the three girls sitting next to me mumbling about them, and I heard the names of the popular girls. So I just waited for Diamond to stop talking, and when she did, I just giggled as I took a sip from my juice-box. Her jaw dropped as she said, "I don't see what's so funny. Silver, did I say something funny?" Silver Spoon shook her head and whispered in Diamond's ear. Diamond laughed and said, "That could be true." I cocked my head sideways and asked, "What couwd be so funny?"

Diamond looked at me and said, "Silver says that maybe your talent is being a stupid little blank flank who likes getting picked on." I wondered for a minute, then said, "That wasn't funny." Diamond smiled with glee, and asked, "Why? Because I just hurt your little feelings?" I shook my head and said, "Becawse I've heawd funniew." Diamond just stared in shock, her jaw down to the floor. She shook her head and tried again by saying, "You don't get it, do you? You don't belong here. You have no purpose, it shows so on your cutie mark...Oh wait, that's right; you don't have one!" Diamond Tiara, sure she hurt my feelings, laughed so loud the entire class heard it. She continued laughing until she heard me thump onto the floor and roll on my back, laughing so hard my wings flapped. She stopped and yelled, "WHY WON'T YOU CRY!?!" I stopped rolling and looked up, my face just inches from her, and I replied with "Yes, it's twue I hawe no cutie mawk. But thewe was a time you didn't eithew. Wasn't thewe?" She just stared, trying to say something, when I then licked her muzzle and continued to laugh.

The whole class saw, and laughed at Diamond and Silver. The two girls' faces grew redder than the mane on Applebloom's head. They turned and galloped away, tears rolling off their face from the speed they went at. The three girls just looked at me, shocked from what I had done. Then, their faces lit up, and they tackled me in a huge hug. I felt amazing, because it was only my first day of school, and already I made three friends.

And their names were Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

Wow, guys! 8 likes and 1 dislike! I'm incredibly surprised, because usually my stories end up at a tie or with more dislikes or with a like one percent ahead. I'm glad you all love this. Please, I urge you to read on! I will see you all in the next chapter. Keep Calm and Brony on my fellow Bronies, Pegasisters, and straight up readers. Here is a chapter about later, after the first day of school.

The Nightmares of a Little Filly

I waved bye to Vinyl and Octavia. My work day was over, which meant the same for Snow Cloud and her school day. I trotted over to the school, but on my way bought some food for tonight's dinner. I put it all in saddlebags and continued on my way. After a few minutes or so, I finally reached the school, and there was Snow Cloud. And it seemed she already made friends! I was so happy, because when I would start a new school year with a new school, I never made friends that easily. Her friends were the Cutie Mark Crusaders Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. I trotted up to the fillies and said to Snow Cloud, "Hey, Cloudy! I see you made some friends. Nice job!" And I ruffled her mane, which I noticed had a braid. I asked who did the braid, and Snow Cloud looked at me and said "Sweetie Bewwe owiginally bwaided my taiw, but then took it out and did my mane instead." I in turn look at Sweetie Belle and said "How sweet. That's nice of you, Sweetie Belle." I then thought up an idea, and asked Snow Cloud, "Hey, Cloudy; I'm curious right now, but do you want to invite your new friends for a sleepover?" She grinned so wide, I thought her face would split in half. She nodded her head, still grinning widely.

I looked at the CMC, and they were doing the same thing as Snow. I just chuckled and lead the way home. When we got there, I saw Derpy landing in front of the door. Her wings folded and she approached us. She asked why the girls were there, and I told her Snow invited them to a sleepover. Derpy said it was okay, so long as they didn't get too rowdy. I opened the door for the girls and Derpy, then trotted inside. I asked the girls, "You hungry?" They nodded, and so I went into the kitchen to help Derpy cook.

"So, um...Is thewe anything you want to do?" I asked my new friends. I didn't know what to do, since this was new to me. They all looked at me and smiled. Applebloom took a pillow and said, "Pillow Fight!" I heard of pillow fights, so I realized we'd have to do that in my room so Mommy wouldn't get mad. I held out a hoof to then stop her, and told her about it. I told Mommy and Daddy I'd be going to my room. They said "Sure, just don't hurt yourselves, now. We'll call you when the food is ready." I brought the girls upstairs and I gave them each a pillow with my magic. They grabbed a corner of their pillows with their mouths, and Scootaloo threw hers at me. It impaled itself on my horn, and I looked cross-eyed as I tried to see it. I started to giggle, then laughed harder than I did earlier today. They started to laugh, and I took advantage of the moment to get them with the pillows.

After about an hour, Mommy and Daddy called us down for dinner, and we ate hay-fries and a grilled cheese and daffodil sandwich. After eating, I yawned, and the other girls did, too. So Mommy told us to go to sleep and that they'd come check on us at some point in the night to make sure we were tucked in. I went upstairs with the girls, and Sweetie Belle taught me to braid. I asked to braid the other girls' manes. At first, they weren't sure. Then, they let me. I braided their manes, and they found it very pretty. They then told jokes until we fell asleep. When I fell asleep, I saw myself in an odd place, bits of earth floating by me. I tried to find anypony that could tell me what was wrong. I found nopony, and I started to quiver my lip until I saw a huge shadow loom over me. I looked up, and it's eyes burrowed into my deepest fears. I never realized I was screaming outside the dream until I was awoken by a loud bam! and saw my Daddy's head stuck in the door.

He pulled his head out, and Mommy pushed the door open with a poker face directed at Daddy. She then galloped towards my bedside and sat onto it, stroking my mane as she had pulled me in for a warm embrace. Daddy got back on his hooves, and followed Mommy's example. He saw tears rolling down my face, and held out his hoof to wipe them away. He started to sing, and the song made me stop crying. He always said he had that effect on crying ponies when he sang. I looked at him, and he then sang a different tune to help me go to sleep. I slowly closed my eyes, the melody drifting me towards dreamland. Finally, I was sleeping peacefully.

The Next Morning; her Second Day

I woke up the next morning with the concerned faces of my friends. I got up, and they asked me in unison, "Are you okay? Last night, we heard you screaming, and called your parents up the stairs." I nodded, and hugged them for caring so much. They were truly good friends to care so much. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then took a shower. I dried off, and when I went into my room, Applebloom was smiling widely. "Applebwoom? Why are you smiwing? Is thewe something on my muzzwe?" I asked. She shook her head, and held out...a purple bow similar to hers. I gasped, staring at the bow with a huge grin. I looked up at Applebloom and tackled her with a hug. She tied the bow on my head, and I went to a mirror to see how it looked. I moved my head to the left, then the right, and squeed. It was so pretty!

"Thank you so much, Applebwoom! I wove it, it's so pwetty!" I said at the top of my lungs. Applebloom replied, "You're welcome, Snow. Ah thought ya might like it, since ah saw how ya looked at mah bow yesterday." I went to my room, and braided my mane. I then packed my books into my saddlebags, and headed downstairs, where Mommy and Daddy were downstairs putting breakfast on the table. We all sat down and ate. Daddy then looked at the clock on the wall, and his jaw dropped. "Oh, wow. Come on, Cloudy. You're gonna be late." I put my plate in the sink, and put on my saddlebags. The girls followed my example, and I shouted, "Wast one to the schoow is a chicken!" Scootaloo muttered, "Hey...that's not fair..." And got on her scooter. I raced Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. I starting galloping, and I passed by Sweetie Belle. I then zoomed past Applebloom. I kept getting faster and faster, until I even passed Scootaloo. I ended up running so fast, I went through a portal and landed in the sandbox.

I realized my head was stuck in the sand, and tried to get out. Finally, I put my forehooves beside me, and pushed up. After a few tugs, I felt a hoof wrap around my side, and pull. I ended up flying onto whoever helped me. I got off of the pony, and saw it was a colt with a stare the same as Mommy's. His eyes were the color of chocolate, and his fur was mahogany brown. He had light pink hair, too, cut like a buzz cut. Also, his wings looked almost mechanical. His saddlebags had the words, 'I'm a true Dovahkiin's son' sewn in on the sides. I looked at the colt in front of me and realized he just helped me out of the sandbox. I opened my mouth and said, "Thank you, umm...I don't know youw name...aww..." He looked at me and smiled as he said in reply, "It's Dazed Feathews. And you'we wewcome." I let the name Dazed Feathers sink in. It sounded like a very nice name. I decided that maybe we should be friends. I even asked him, "I'm Snow Cwoud. Can I be youw fwiend?" Dazed grinned hugely as he nodded so hard his head looked like it'd fall off. He then tackled me with a big hug. I squealed with laughter as the hug tickled a little. He then let go, and trotted with me to the school.

I sat down, and noticed the seat next to me was empty. So, I patted the desk with my hooves as he trotted nearer. He squeed and nodded, taking a seat in the desk next to me. He nearly fell over, though, until I used some magic to stop him. I smiled as I looked at him. He just giggled a bit. "Seems I'm not the onwy cwumsy one, huh?" He nodded, laughing as he regained his posture on the seat. I took out an apple, and struggled a bit with my magic as I levitated the apple to Miss Cheerilee's desk. Diamond, however, saw the apple and took it. She started to take a bite of it when I pulled it away with magic. Thankfully, it made it to the desk in one piece. I nearly passed out on my desk from using the magic, but Dazed quickly gave me a juice box, claiming he had more. I took the straw off the side, put it through the hole, and started to take a sip. I instantly felt better. I thanked Dazed, and threw the now empty juice box out in the garbage.

Miss Cheerilee finally came into the classroom and said loudly, "Hello, class! It's so nice to see that you all came early!" She then took off her saddlebags and plopped them down on the desk, noticing the apple. She knew it was from me, as I figured by the fact she looked at me with a smile. She ate the apple, threw out the core, and took a history book out of her saddlebags. "Now, class," she began. "If you'll kindly turn your books to page 2, we can get started on the lesson we couldn't start yesterday." She opened her textbook, the class following her example. Suddenly, I felt something wet hit me in the back of my head. I rubbed my hoof, getting it off, and looked behind me to see Diamond with a straw. I got under her skin by mouthing the words, "Not very sophisticated for a rich, popular girl, now is it?" Her face turned from pink to red real quick. I turned back around, and continued to listen to Miss Cheerilee read.

"And so, after dethroning Discord, they took over and brought about peace and harmony..."

Another spit wad. I ignored it, and wiped it off the tip of my ear.

"One day, Luna grew tired of..."

Yet another spit wad, which hit my braided mane. I wiped that one out, too. I looked at the clock and saw it was almost time for another class.

"And so, she was banished to the moon..."

I heard the sound of another incoming spit wad, and heard it make contact. But...not with me. I turned around, and saw Dazed took the wad for me, it resting on his eyelid. I got up, and trotted to him, wiping it off his eye. I then licked his muzzle as a thank you. He simply trotted up to Diamond and said to her, "Don't you have something bettew to do than spit wads at othew ponies?" Miss Cheerilee trotted up to Diamond and told her she'd be seeing her in detention.

later...

"Youw eyes wemind me of Mommy," I told Dazed as I took a bite of my sandwich. He simply cocked his head sideways and asked what I meant, in which I told him about who my Mommy was. "Oh!" he exclaimed. We kept talking for a while, until lunch was over. We went back inside, and Miss Cheerilee started our math class. She put an addition problem up on the board, then asked "Now, is there anypony who can answer this question, please?" Nopony raised their hoof, so my ears went down and I curled in, blushing, as I raised mine. Miss Cheerilee smiled and called me up. I slowly walked up to the board and took the chalk. I answered the question, and Miss Cheerilee thanked me. I walked back to my desk. I looked around the class, and I saw that other alicorn with the purple mane and tail again. This time, she mouthed the words, "Nice job." I mouthed a thank you, then turned to face the front of the class.

At the end of the day, Daddy came to pick me up, and saw me talking with Dazed. He smiled and said "Ah, I take it you've met Gage's son, Dazed Feathers. Yesterday was his birthday, so that's why he didn't come for his first day. That's what Gage told me, that is. Nice to meet you, finally. Last I saw you, you were being born." He then ruffled Dazed's mane, and he just laughed. "You know, Gage and I are so close, we're like brothers. You're practically my nephew...just kidding!" Dazed looked away shyly at the thought. I did the same.

"Well, anyway; we gotta go, Snow. Say bye to Dazed." said Daddy. However, Gage came and said "Actually, I won't mind if he stays over at your house. He just needs to pack some things before he goes." I grinned and looked at Daddy, who just chuckled and shook his head, his ruffled mane shaking around. I noticed it growing a bit longer. Soon, it might be around Vinyl's mane size...unless he cuts it again. So, we waited at home, and heard the sound of knocking. Daddy opened the door, and at the other end was Dazed. I giggled happily and waved to Dazed, who did the same back. It was going to be such fun!

Day 3; The Realization of Puppy love

"Hey, Snow! Breakfast is ready! You up, yet?" called Daddy. I was then woken up, and found myself bundled up in my bed.

And Dazed was in it, too.

I got scared, and jumped back. However, that sent me flying off the bed and on the floor. I yelled, "Ow!" I tried to get up, but a sharp pain in my right wing went against it. Dazed immediately woke up and saw me there. He shot up and jumped off the bed to land next to me. He struggled as he lifted me and put me on his back. He galloped down the stairs and came to my Mommy. He yelled out, "Snow is huwt! She fell off the bed!" Mommy looked to Daddy and Daddy galloped over after turning off the stove. He looked at my damaged wing and said, "Ooh...I know your pain, Cloudy. I'm gonna go call the hospital." With that said, he grabbed the phone with his hooves and used his wings to dial the hospital. He put the phone to his ear and said, "Hello? It's my daughter, she broke her wing while waking up...Who? It's Snow, you genius! You don't remember me? Just...get here as soon as possible, she's in a lot of pain."

Later...

"I um...got you some flowews." Said Dazed as he held them out for me. I smiled and gratefully took them. As I put them on the nightstand on the right side of the bed, I gave a small blush which went away as I turned back to face him. He smiled and looked at me. He then said, "So, I also got youw homewowk fow you, but Miss Cheewilee said you don't have to do it until tomowwow since you wewen't thewe today." I nodded and said, "Thank you, Dazed." He put his hoof in the air and dismissively waved it at me. "No pwobwem, Snow. Weally." I decided to shift myself so I was on my left side while I looked at him. I noticed him staring right back at me for a bit, then he shook his head and said in a awkward voice, "Well, um...see you tomowwow, Snow." As he left, I realized something;

I...I think I liked him...

Day 4; How Do I Tell Him?

About a week passed, and my wing is better, now. I also finally learned to pronounce my R's and my L's. But anyway, I woke up and went home from the Hospital. When I got there, Dazed was at the front of the house. He was smiling when he saw me. I landed next to him and said, "Thanks for the flowers and bringing my homework while I was gone." He simply waved his hoof dismissively and said, "Wasn't a problem at all. I'd do anything for my friends. Especially you, Snow." I blushed at this, looking down while my ears flopped down. I looked back up and saw he was also blushing, shuffling his forehoof across the ground. He then opened his mouth and said, "So, today's a Saturday...wanna go to the park?" I grinned and nodded. I then trotted next to him and went to the park alongside him.

As we walked, I looked at him from time to time. Eventually, he caught on and saw me blushing. He asked, "Umm, why is your face getting red?" I realized my face was going red, and I looked away, wiping my muzzle with my foreleg. He simply stared in confusion, then looked back ahead. After a few minutes of awkward silence, we made it to the park. I sat down on a bench next to him and stared at the fountain, where a statue of a hooded stallion was the centerpiece. I looked back at Dazed, who was doing something like a prayer. He then stopped and rested his forehooves on either side of him. I gazed at him, and blushed. I looked away, inching my hoof closer to his. His hoof overlapped mine, and my face went red as a cherry.

I looked at him, and he was looking into my eyes, smiling. I did the same, my heart beating faster. Was this feeling normal? I didn't know, and I definitely didn't care. I inched my face closer to his, and he did the same. We were only a few centimeters away, and he closed the distance. I felt his lips connect with mine, and of course, I was surprised. My eyes were wide as soup bowls at first, but then they closed and I eased into the kiss. He pulled me close into a hug and eventually broke the kiss. He smiled at me, and all I thought was, 'wow...this whole time, I've been worried about how I could tell him...'

According to this, it seems I didn't have to worry about that.

Later that night...

"So, Dazed...What do you wanna do?" I asked Dazed. Daddy was helping Mommy cook some food. Dazed simply laughed and took out from his saddlebags...a bunch of cards. I cocked my head sideways and asked, "What awe those fow?" He then replied, "Cawd games. Wouwd you wike to pway some?" I put my hoof to the bottom of my muzzle, then nodded. He then showed me how to play some games, and shuffled the deck. He passed out the cards, and we started to play 'I Declare War.' For a while, he was winning, but then I got the upperhand. Suddenly, he started to convulse. His body started to twitch, and he fell to the floor, shaking and writhing. I opened my eyes wide from shock, and I started to cry as he continued. I yelled at the top of my lungs, "DADDY!!! DAZED NEEDS HEWP!!! HEWP, DADDY!!!"

Daddy galloped up the stairs and slammed into my door, opening it and sending it off its hinges across the room. He got to Dazed and saw him convulsing. He looked trough Dazed's saddlebags and took out a needle. He jabbed it into Dazed's hind leg (with much trouble) and injected whatever was in it. Dazed immediately stopped shaking and just lay there. Suddenly, Dazed gasped and his eyes opened. He sat up on his haunches and put his hoof to his throat. He started breathing heavily, and then looked to me with a scared look on his face. Tears streamed down his face. I started crying and tackled him in a hug, crying into his mane. I then broke the hug and hit him in the foreleg, yelling, "DON'T EVEW SCAWE ME WIKE THAT AGAIN!!!" He nodded, and got back on his hooves. He looked up to Daddy and said, "Thank you, Mr. Music." Daddy just smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. Gage warned me about the seizures. He told me he would pack a needle into your saddlebags to inject when it happened."

Dazed then noticed the needle stuck in his hind leg. He wrapped his hoof around it, and with a sharp tug, took it out. He winced as it came out, but then eased up. He put the needle back in the bag, and continued the card game as if nothing happened, making me giggle on the inside. But, I also wondered what this new warm feeling was in my heart…
