The Adventures of Frost Winter

It's the mourning after Frost's nightmare, and Frost understandably had trouble with sleep that night. So when mourning roll'ed on by, the Alicorn was quick to get up and try all he might to forget the dream he had late yesterday. Slowly opening the door to the living room, he see's that it's empty. (Spike and Twilight must be sleep still) he thought to himself. Walking into the kitchen and opening the fridge, its packed full with food. Taking a few things out, he begins to make breakfast, himself and the other residents. He starts by making himself a simple salad; lettuce, tomatoes, salad cream and the like. After he is done, he raps it and puts it in the fridge to keep cool while he does prepares breakfast for Twilight and Spike. He starts by making the mixture for dough, after its ready.He leaves it to one side. Chopping up some vegetables, he grabs a bottle of tomato sauce and puts it next to the dough. He carries on by grating some cheese. After that he cleans the knife's, chopping boards and so on. Next he uses a rolling pin to flatten the dough to a curtain level, once happy, he spreads on the tomato sauce. Laying on the cheese, he then sprinkles the vegetables on with ease. Putting the meal in the oven, he uses the timer so he won't forget. Washing the rest of the stuff he used, he walks into the living and plops onto the sofa. Piking up the book on the side table that twilight suggested he read, he left of were he was last.

Daring Doo walks down the hall, coming up to a chamber, in font of her is a pattern floor of gold. And at last she is face to face with the sapphire stone. Smiling and is looking at the statue with glee. She is about to walk onto the floor but stops herself, almost tripping in the process. She looks around to see holes in the walls, all around the golden floor. Looking down she see's a stone, observing the stone, she gathers its the right size and keeps over the floor. Once the stone stops skipping across the floor, it stops on a random pattern picture of Vulture. The pattern suddenly drops a few inches into the ground, and it sets of the trap. About 20 arrows fly across the room and hit and stick into the wall on the other side.

Daring is a bit shocked, but not to much. She looks at were the arrows had penetrated the wall. Then turning and looking at the pattern closure, she can see creature like Timberwolves, Tigers, Vultures and so on. "Hmm there must be a pattern here, what do all these animals all have in common?" she ask her self out loud "Ah ah, these creatures are predators! expect" looking around see she's a picture of a Rat "RATS!" Putting her hoof gingerly on the pattern of the rat, once on the pattern. She is sweating, from maybe her doom from arrows. After a few seconds she opens one of her eyes and looks down. Nothing has happened, giving out a sigh of relief. She looks for another rat pattern and spots it quickly. Jumping over the other patter she lands on it. She continues to do this with agility of a cat, doing flips and so on. Until she is past the pattern trap. Looking behind her, she gives a huge smile of pride, climbing the steps to where the Statue is placed on a pillar. She takes off her hat and looks at the statue in awe. Putting her hat back on, she looks around the statue for and traps could possibly be there.

Looking above the statue at the light thats coming through, she shakes her hoof across the light. Wiping sweat from her forehead, bitting her lips, rubbing her hooves, licking her lips in anticipation of finally getting the Sapphire Stone after all these years. She quickly grabs the statue in her mouth and backtrack away from the pillar. Placing the statue in her hat and putting it on her head, she can't help but smile at this point. She is about to walk off when she hears a weird noise, stopping from walking off, she looks back. Confused with the small cylinder rising from the centre of the pillar, it suddenly drops and the temple starts to shake. The walls and ceiling start crumbling, sand starts flowing in, the floor gives way to a pool of lava. Backing up each step as the lava starts to rise, and the big pillars at each side of the chamber starts to fall into the pool of lava. Jumping on the pillar that held the Statue, she looks around frantically for a way out.

She is out to give up until, two large pillars fall and stop each other from falling into the lava. And the give a way out, with the hole from which the light was coming in from before. If only she can reach them, looking around she see's another pillar stuck in a 70ish degree angle, using this pillar she can maybe reach the two pillars and get to her freedom. Jumping for the pillar she lands in the middle, but the pillar is starting to fall, rushing and jumping from pillar to pillar to finally makes it to the two pillars. They too start to give way, looking up, she bends down, and which all the strength she has, she jumps as height as she can. She is almost there, getting closer with eat millisecond. Then she grabs the bit off the material that makes the hole with her mouth. Looking down at the lava one last time, she pulls here self up. she is about to pull herself up fully until and eruption of hot air, send her flying into the air. She is thinking that this is her last. She lands with a hard thump on the ground, the Statue lands right in front of her, as does her hat. BANG!!! She looks up to she her arch enemy, the one she dislikes the most. The one and only..... DING

"Oh its done already?" Frost says out loud, giving out a sigh "I was getting into it then." He puts a bookmark on the page he is on and shuts the book and puts it back on the side table. He walks into the kitchen while talking to himself "That book series does remind a lot of One back home, i wonder if Twilight would be interested in that". Turning the timer off, he grabs some oven mitts, opens the oven door and pulls out the meal. Shutting the door and turning off the oven and placing the hot trying back in the oven to cool off with the oven. He grabs some plates and a knife to cut it into pieces ready to eat. It is at this point that Twilight and Spike come downstairs, tempted to much but the aroma of the meal Frost has made. They turn from the stairs and come into view of frost "Good mourning you two, i thought i say thank you for letting me stay here, by making a dish from my world."

Spike looks at the meal with glee, Twilight too has a smile on her face. "So what is this meal called?" she asks genuinely

"What you don't have pizza here?" he asks with confusion

"Well we do now" Spike says

Frost smiles at spike. Going to the fridge he grabs his salad and returns to the table. "Are you not having this with us Frost?" Twilight asks. Frost only shakes his head "Well it's your loss, it looks fantastic". Spike and Twilight take a bite and give out a "Hmm" in approval. Frost giggles at this "Well I'm glad you like it, it's one of the most favourite dishes of my world. It's not the most complex though, but plan and simple is better some times."

"So what are you doing today Frost?" Spike asks with a mouth full, Twilight is quick to give a tab behind Spike's ear.

"Spike don't talk with a mouth full, its rude. Anyway Frost do you have any plans today?" Frost shrugs at this

"Don't know, i not meet anyone apart from you two and Celestia. But i kind of want to meet some more people ... err ponies.... what ever you know what i mean."

Twilight nods "I agree, its about you got out of the library, you don't want to gain weight no do you... err no offence"

"None taken.... Sooo, Have you got anyone in mind?"

"Well, the best place to start would be applejack, because she isn't one to judge on appearance". (Well, apart from Zecora) Twilight thinks to herself.

"Ok i think i'll start with her then, Applejack is a female right?"

"Of course she is a female!" Twilight says quickly back, with a hint of offence

"I didn't mean any offence Twilight, its just that Applejack sounds like it could be both for females and males is all."

"Well, okay. Anyway i was thinking of seeing her myself, so if you want, i can walk with you over there." Twilight ask Frost

"That would be nice" He says with a smile

So the trio get ready to head over to the apple farm. Once there are close to the farm, they spot Applejack apple bucking some tree's. Frost asks twilight what she is doing. "Err Twilight what is applejack doing?"

"Apple Bucking, why?"

"You did say Bucking then didn't you?" Twilight nods "Oh ok, but why is she doing that, and the baskets around the tree won't fall into them, so she would just have go round picking them up." To prove him wrong, Applejack gives a tree a bucking and all the apples fall into the baskets. Frost was flabbergasted "But.. How.. Thats.... Impossible ...." Twilight chuckles at her friend. "Okay can you explain how she did that? She doesn't have a horn, so no magic. And i know for curtain those apples should of done that."

"Well, at first I thought that, but Applejack told me its because it's not just the way she kicks the tree, but the technique. I found out that it creates a vibration that the apples on the edge of the tree beaches that are effected but it the most. The vibration not only shakes them but points them inward, so they place the baskets near the trunk, and the apple simply fall in."

"Have i ever told you are smart Twilight?" Twilight giggles at the comment. Once they are close enough, Applejack waves Twilight over.

"Howdy Twilight what can I do you for?" She says with a wink

"Hello Applejack, I was just show Frost here around the farm, and was looking to introduce you to him."

AJ looks to the side of Twilight and see's a silver Alicorn, jumping and the sight and bowing immediately "Whoa nelly, beg ya pardon, your highness". She only gets a giggle from the trio. Looking up with a bit of confusion to Twilight, she explains that Frost isn't royalty, but leaves out that he's an alien and etc. "I'm mighty sorry for thinking y'all royalty and all, Mr Frost"

"Don't mention it Applejack, I'm not that surprised. Anyway do you think I could help around the farm? I need some kind of work out, so why not this?"

Applejack looks at Frost, squinting her eyes "Well, if y'all can handle the hard work, then I don't see a problem with it. Y'all would be payed for the work ya do of course"

"Thank you Applejack and i will take you on that offer. So what will i be doing?" Frost asks

"Well, have a go at apple bucking, try this tree here. Just get ya self positioned right, put your weight on y'all front hooves and let them have it". Applejack simply explains.

"Erm ... okay ... i'll try" Frost says with a small gulp. Doing as Applejack said, once his back hooves touch the tree, he is sent forward and lands face first in the mud. Applejack, Twilight and spike are rolling on the floor laughing, literally. Applejack tries to suggest maybe he was to near the tree trunk. "Don't use your fancy semantics to muddy the issue Applejack, I did it just fine. I think." Twilight and Spike only laugh a bit more and Frost's joke, but Applejack stops in her tracks and looks and Frost.

"Well, how bout this, me and big mac will do the bucking and y'all can do the lifting, that ok for y'all?"

"Okay, i suppose that would be better actually" Applejack nods at this "So it ok if I start today?" Applejack nods again. Once Twilight and Spike finally pull them selfs together, they say their goodbyes and leave. Like they agree Applejack does the bucking and Frost does the lifting. This goes on for the day they stop now again to get a drink or their breath back, but once 5pm comes along they stop.

"Phew wee, this has been a good day, thanks for the help Frost" Applejack says with a smile. Frost is tired at this point and nods and smiles back. "Well, if y'all hungry you come have something to eat here, it's the least I can do. And before y'all start I won't take no for an answer." Seeing she won't budge on the matter, Frost gives in and accepts the invitation. Applejack and Frost each have a cart to pull along, it doesn't take long for them to reach the barn, they unhook them selfs and start to walk to the entrance of the barn house. Only to see a big red Pony with a Yolk around his neck. "Howdy Big Mac, finished plowing the fields?"

"Eyup" Big Mac says in a low voice. Applejacks asks more question, getting the same one word answer. It is quiet amusing to Frost, and he thought he was a shy and quite one. They go inside and are met by a view of an old light green-ish mare making a feast fit for kings and queens nether mind normal people or rather ponies. "Howdy young'uns, I hope y'all have room." Turning she see's her family plus one "Howdy, Applejack who's ya strapping young coltfriend here?". At this Applejack blushes the same red as the apples on her cutie mark.

"He's not mah coltfriend granny, he's just a friend tis all." Frost is to occupied with his surroundings to hear the conversation that the two farm girls are having. Their house reminds him exactly of the farmhouse Superman / Clark Kent live in the TV show "Smallville", just a little more room, what with them being quadrupeds, they need more run to turn and etc. He is slowly walking forward unaware of his surroundings until he feels something bump into him, or somepony. Looking down he see's a small filly; Yellow coat, red mane, and pink bow tied into the mane, and no cutie mark as of yet. She is rubbing her forehead with her hoof, with her eyes closed.

"What did I hit?" she asks, opening her eyes and looking up. She finally spots Frost, and she pretty much had the same reaction as Applejack. Frost had to stop him self from Aww'ing at that moment, be he decided to have a little fun.

"It's all right little one, do it again and I might have to uses my powers of royalty" He can see her panicking, Applejack, Big Mac are holding back a smirk with a hoof.

"Am so sorry ya highness, I didn't see ya there, please forgive mah." She is looking to the floor at this point. With a evil smirk on Frost's face, he bends down and whippers

"I think a little punishment is in order, say hello to the....... TICKLE MONSTER!" He quickly proceeds to till the filly, who is laughing like there is no tomorrow.

"I.... GIVE.... I... GIVE.... PLEASE...... STOP!!" She says through laughs. Frost stops the tickle assault, and lets the filly calm down.

"Hello, I'm Frost Winter, and no i'm not royalty, i was just messing with you". She looks up to him still trying to calm down, but after a while she clams down enough to say

"Hello Frost Winter ...... I'm Applebloom .... Nice to meet ya" Still giggling here and there, and wiping a tear from her eye. Once Applebloom stops giggling they head over to the table where the other apple's are bringing over the food and setting it down. With a huge verity of foods available, Frost starts with a piece of apple pie. While they are eating, they talk about things like the farm, friends, family, events coming up and so on. As it turns out Equestria and Earth share quiet a few holidays, just with different names, for example Hearts and Hooves day is Valentines, Hearts Warming Eve is Christmas and Nightmare Night is Halloween. But the topic Applebloom is most interested in is, why Frost has no cutie mark yet. Obviously he doesn't tell her the truth, he just say's it just hasn't happened, and he doesn't need a cutie mark to be happy and have no meaning to life. After the feast each pony has a fully belly, but Applejack and Big Mac belly's, are bulging. Mainly because the food contest they had, Big Mac won by the crust of an apple fritter, Which his sister wasn't to happy about. Frost belly is full, just not sticking out, like the rest of them, well apart from Granny Smith as well. Frost looks over to the clock hanging on the wall and its 9:21pm.

Saying his goodbye's, Applejack gives him his pay for the day and tells him he can come by anyway he wants, just let them know a head of time if he can. Frost takes the scenic rout, walking around a lake and walking around the town. The library comes into view, the lights are off and its dark inside. (They must be asleep) Frost thinks to himself. Opening the door and walking in, Frost looks for the light switch. He Finds the switch and flicks it on, he has to shield his eyes from the light, not being used to it as of yet.

SURPRISE!!!!!!

Frost jumps out of his coat, not literally but there you go. He is about to land on his back, till his face decides to help him stop by trying to grab onto the side table. And Frost's vision fades to black. Waking up with a throbbing of his head, he is might by a concern face of Twilight and the Pink pony he meet the first time he arrived who ran of somewhere soon as he said hello.

"Wha.... What happened, and why does my head hurt?" Frost asks robbing his head.

The pink pony begins to talk, he mane is now straight instead of puffy like last time. "ImsosorryIwantedtosurpriseyouwithasurprisepartyforbeingnewButIthinkitsurprisedyoutomuchandyoujumpandhityourheadandthetableandfellunconsciousIthoughtIkilledyou" She says at like thousand miles per hour. Frost looks at her confused as her to say it again but slower this time.

Im soo sorry, i wanted to surprise you with a surprise party, for being new. But I think it surprised you to much and you jump and hit your head and the table and fell unconscious. I thought I killed you" This time she says with a small tear running down her cheek.

Frost's heart almost breaks at the sight, almost. "Hey look at me.... "(lifts her head so they are eye to eye) "It's ok really, I love parties and all, just don't do that again. I also like surprises just not ones that almost scare me to death." She still is sad, but not as much, but he wants to cheer her up. "So why don't we go and have this party you threw for me?" At this her hair inflates somehow and she grabs him into what can only be described as a death tightening hug. The trio head downstairs to the party, with smiles on their faces. It is there Frost meets most of the town, a side from the apple family. The party lasts just past midnight, and the party goers head to their respected homes. Frost slumps on the sofa next to Twilight

"That was one hell of a party, remind me to never drink that much again." Frost says, Twilight smiles and say's her goodnight's pleasantries and head of to bed. Frost sits there thinking of what has happened over the past week, (What a party) He thinks to himself. He falls asleep on the sofa not long after that.
