SnowFlare, Pegasus of Ice.
Passage into Ponyville
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSnowFlare had fallen asleep during the train ride, feeling the wind against his mane during the train had put him to sleep in the first place. Dreams filled his mind, visions of him controlling his powers, and a small smiled graced his lips. An air of serenity surrounded him as he slept. "END OF THE LINE!"
A loud, harsh voice startled him awake, and the realization that he was in Ponyville suddenly struck him. As he departed the train station, his eyes widened as he took in everything around him. Ponies milled about on the dirt roads, and small houses dotted the hills. In the sky, puffy white clouds were topped by frolicking pegasi. Wrapped up in thoughts of his new home, he was completely lost in thought when he was startled by a, "HEY MISTER!"
Snowflare looked down to see a pale, yellow-coated filly with a wavy red mane and a large pink bow. She sported a goofy grin as she confidently met Snowflare's eyes.
"Oh, H-hey." he replied when he realized she had talked to him. Paying more attention he realized that this filly had no cutie mark.
"Did ah scare ya mister?" She asked only half jokingly.
"No, you just surprised me, thats all." He replied quickly. The filly started giggling, and then Snowflare was almost completely red at the fact that he embarressed himself in front of a filly. Gee, this is a fantastic start. He thought sarcastically.
"So what'cha doin' outside so early?" She asked in a normal tone, finally.
"I just moved in to town, and i'm looking for my new House, thats all." He replied, a bit hesitant.The filly seemed nice enough, but he still felt apprehensive around other ponies who could possibly expose his secret, but then again, he was probably just being paranoid. It was just a filly.
"Well Mah sister is an apple farmer, if you want, stop by, she'll probably welcome ya to town," The filly said seemingly excited.
Trying to end the conversation, he hastily said
"I just might do that, thank you." The filly, filled with joy, waved goodbye and shouted a farewell as she turned and hopped towards town.
"OH NO!!" A voice suddenly sounded, probably hearable from every part of town.
Immediately rushing to the source of the voice he saw a baby carriage rolling down a hill. a look of horror filled everypony even Snowflare's face.
He saw the carriage hit a rock and flung the baby out, plummeting slowly into the ground. Snowflare for now could just watch with horror!
suddenly, a shape whizzed by at breakneck speed. It was a cyan mare with a bright rainbow mane, shooting towards the baby with her hooves out, prepared to catch it as she whizzed by Even so, SnowFlare realized she wouldn't make it in time! He didn't have a choice but to do a Super-dash!
Snowflare began beating his wings instantly, knowing what he had to do. A blue aura began to envelope him, and he began to dash even faster. Wind filled his mane as time seemed to slow down around him. He hoped it was just him who saw the slow ponies.
The rainbow mare was almost Astonished to see somebody that fast, as he flew by, passing her in almost an instant. A heartbeat before the baby hit the ground, Snowflare's hooves slid under the baby, and he came to a shaky halt.
The rainbow-maned mare landed behind him a moment later.
The mother of the baby ran up to SnowFlare and gushed, "Thank you so, so much!" A relieved smile dominated her expression as she gingerly took the baby from Snowflare, hugging the baby. Calling out another quick thanks, she placed him back in the carriage and began rolling him away...
Then after she left the Rainbow mare walked up to his face, her magenta eyes glowing.
"Hey, i haven't seen you around here before, you new here?" She asked casually. Almost too casually...
Realizing he hadn't said anything he quickly replied, "Y-yeah, i am." The rainbow mare nodded replying with
"You're pretty fast there, where are you from?" That's what questioned Snowflare the most.
Snowflare, you Idiot! Just say where you were born! "I grew up in Cloudsdale..." he eventually said
"Cool! Me too!" The mare broke into a large smile, adding
"I'm Rainbow Dash, what's your name?" She said after a few minutes.
"Snowflare," he replied. He cast his gaze to his hooves. Growing up in the castle hadn't prepared him for meeting other ponies, and he was still shy. Other ponies still daunted him, but it was pretty easy to talk with this mare, almost like he had known her for awhile..
It was pretty easy to talk with this mare, almost like he's known her before... before he could get the chance to ask,
She broke the silence with "Well, i've gotta go, we should hang out later, See ya!" Without warning, Rainbow Dash had zipped away , leaving a rainbow trail in her path...
Snowflare couldn't help but admire it's Beauty and grace, and like all other rainbows, the end of it.
