SnowFlare, Pegasus of Ice.

Snowflare's eyelids fluttered open. Sunlight filtered through the window as he rolled out of his bed, stretching his muscles.

Groggy with sleep, Snowflare glanced into a nearby mirror to see that his mane had been transformed into a mess of frizzy curls. He chuckled to himself as he patted it with a hoof. I'm no fashion star, but I should probably at least run a comb through my mane...

After taming his wild case of bedhead into a mild one, he settled down onto his bed and pulled out of one of the magic books he borrowed from Twilight. He flipped it open and began to read.

After reading a few chapters he put it down. His legs were beginning to feel cramped, and the prospect of feeling the wind in his mane and the sun on his back. Getting to his hooves, he opened the door and headed for town.

As he walked through town, he noticed that it was still early. There were not many ponies on the streets, and few pegasi were administrating the water. He almost forget where he was, but was soon reminded when he heard a familiar voice.

"LOOK OUT BELOW!" Before Snowflare could see who the caller was, a familiar cyan shape barreled into him. He slammed into the road, dust collecting on his fur.

Since not a lot of ponies were there, no one noticed the cyan colt groaning as he lay in the middle of the street.. Snowflare then realized he had his body temperature was dropping, remembering Celestia had said it automatically happens when he got embarrassed or scared.

"Snowflare! A-are you okay?!" The cyan mare, who was laying a few feet from Snowflare, quickly leaped to her hooves, nudging Snowflare. "And why do you feel so cold? Are you sick or something?" she asked, her voice worried.

My body is still cold? That's not good...better think of an excuse...  "I-I'm fine, Rainbow Dash. I think

I...just...left the air conditioning on in my house yesterday. Yeah, that's why it was so cold last night."

"Okay..." Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow as Snowflare mentally facehoofed.

You left the air conditioning on?! Great excuse, genius... "So why were you crashing?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

"I was practicing," Rainbow dash declared proudly. Snowflare cocked his head, interested. "Practicing? For what?"

"For what else? The Wonderbolts!" She shouted, but since there weren't really many ponies out, nobody paid much mind.

Snowflare had heard of the Wonderbolts, he didn't really know anybody in Canterlot who didn't. He almost snickered to himself, but managed stifle it so as not to wound the cyan mare's pride of feelings..

"So what're you doing in town so early, Snowflare?" Rainbow Dash asked.

That was a good question, but it was one Snowflare didn't really have an answer for, so he weakly replied, "Going for a walk."

Rainbow nodded. Good, she's buying it.

"Well, it was great seeing you. Gotta dash!" with that, she took off again, Thankfully. Snowflare made his way into town again before he heard a pony gasping.

He turned around to see an earth pony mare with a pale pink coat and a fluffy, curly pink mane. "Um, is something wrong?" he asked nervously.

The pony began chattering at once, her words flying out as her mouth motored away. Snowflare winced as he tried understand, but the only words that stood out clearly were "birthday cake," "cockroach," and "tulip."

"Excuse me, could you...um...slow down?" he asked, the pink mare instantly giggling at his request..

"Oh! Sorry! I'm Pinkie Pie!" she giggled, grinning.. Wow, she's even more excitable than that filly!

"You're the new pony, aren't you?" She squealed, hopping in a circle around him. Her bright blue eyes shone brightly as she gazed at him. Not giving him a chance to respond, she continued, "I love meeting new ponies! In fact, that reminds me of that one time I met a pony who loved lollipops! Her name was Lolly...or was it Pop? Anyways, I bought a like a gazillion lollipops for her to make her feel welcome, but then suddenly, out of nowhere, a squirrel appears...oh, wait, I'm getting off topic! Anyways, we're gonna be best friends! Riiight? Like that squirrel? Y'know, after the squirrel stole one of the lollipops, I gave it a nut muffin and we became best, best, best friend! Even though only Fluttershy really knows what it says...have you met her? She's--"

"Wait!" The sudden shout from Snowflare caused the mare to pause, mid-bounce. How does she...  Snowflare gaped as she hung, suspended in the air, for a few seconds, then suddenly dropped to the ground.

"About the friend thing..." I really, really don't know if i need more friends. I just hope she won't be hurt.

"Well, actually, I have a lot of work, so I'd prefer to keep to myself.

He was almost expecting the mare to be upset, which he really didn't want, but for some reason it was like he never said it. Her expression didn't change. "I totally understand! If you want to keep to yourself, that's your buisness.And I will respect that! That reminds me of Cranky..." A grin overtook her face as her eyes became distant as she remembered something. She began to hum quietly as she turned and began bouncing away. .

As Snowflare walked back towards his house he muttered, "That is one weird mare."

Before going into his house, he realized there was a note on his door. Pulling it off, he read aloud, "I know you wanted to keep to yourself, but welcome to Ponyville anyways!"

Snowflare smiled. Strange mare...but friendly. He trotted into his house, opened the magic book and began to read once more.
