Daniel...or as he now called himself, Frost, gave a quiet sigh as he finally stepped out of Twilight's home. It had taken time for him to figure out exactly where the front door was (he'd gotten lost in the maze of hallways), not to mention that he wanted to get out without bumping into Twilight or Spike. He actually hadn't seen her assistant the entire time, but it was better to be safe than sorry. What he wanted - rather, what he needed - was to get away from everypony and get comfortable with his new body.

Urgh, everypony? Really? I'm going native....though I doubt I'm getting home anytime soon. I need to leave town so...

His body and thought process froze when he noticed a mare making her way down the street. A pink, curly-haired, giggling and bouncing mare at that. He'd been so focused on his problems, that he forgot the one pony that would cause nothing but trouble if they met. Every part of him was screaming one thing: RUN. NOW. Without hesitation, Frost turned and bolted in the opposite direction, praying to what or whoever dropped him into Equestria that she would leave him alone. Unfortunately, all that praying was useless; within moments, she was bouncing next to him, as if he weren't running at all.

"HI!MynameisPinkiePieandit'sreallynicetomeetyou!YoumustbenewbecauseI'veneverseenyouherebefore,oohhhyoudon'thaveacutiemark,that'sreallysadbutit'sokbecauseIcanthrowyouaparty!EveryponyLOVESparties,sowhat'syourname?"

Frost let out a yelp of fear and put on even more speed, unintentionally letting out his wings and flapping them in a panic. Before he completely knew what had happened, he was in the air, leaving Pinkie standing there with a stunned expression. As he flew off (in an incredibly unstable manner while howling in terror), she gave a small shiver and pouted. "That wasn't very nice, blasting me with all that cold air......but then again...Twilight did tell me that I sometimes scare others when I do that." Her mane slowly began to deflate before poofing back up. "Idea! I'll give him a super-yummy 'sorry for scaring you' cupcake when I see him next time!" Giggling, she began to bounce her way to Sugarcube Corner when she paused again in thought. "Hmm...maybe a few icepacks too. He'll need it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frost, on the other hoof, was screaming and desperately trying to figure out how he ended up in the air. One moment, he was on the ground running from Pinkie as fast as possible, and now he was in the air flapping like crazy and trying to figure out how to land without killing himself. The rational part of him was noting how his wings reacted when he shifted and trying to understand how to manipulate them into something steady, while the irrational part kept telling him to panic and hope for the best. As he continued to panic, he began to dip and head straight for the cloud. He noticed, but it didn't really register until both his irrational and rational parts screamed out CLOUD! Unable to react in time, Frost flew face-first into the cloud and bounced against its surface a few times before coming to a complete stop.

"Blurgh. Gotta......get better....control of these things."

He slowly sat up, wiped away bits of cloud from his muzzle and closed his wings before slowly struggling to sit up. When it occurred to him that he was in fact, sitting on a cloud, he nearly began to panic again. No! Breathe.....in.....out......you will look at this like the rational human....or pony you are. After a few deep breaths, he gingerly poked the cloud beneath him before letting out a small chuckle. That's right, he thought. Pegasus. That means I can walk on clouds. Suppose this'll work for now. As he slowly got himself comfortable, he looked over the edge of the cloud to see Ponyville not too far off from where he was.

"Well, I made it out of town in one piece...and nopony knows that I'm here."

That out of the way, his mind slowly turned to figuring out how he had gotten there in the first place. He could instantly cross off the royal sisters from his list for two reasons: Celestia hadn't gone after him as soon as he woke up, and Luna seemed to believe that he really was a pony. Giving a small shiver in discomfort, his mind turned to the only other three options. Option one: Twilight botched up a spell and somehow got him dragged here, accidentally turning him into a pony in the process. Option two: Discord. Sure, he was 'reformed', but it wouldn't be unusual for him to pull a stunt like this. Option three: well....he was just very unlucky and happened to fall into Equestria, on his own. He hoped it was option one or two so that there was a small possibility of going home but if it was the third...well, chances were, he would be stuck. As he kept thinking, exhaustion finally set in and set him to sleep, twitching fitfully and quietly muttering.

-Inside of Twilight's Home-

Twilight gave a content sigh as she made her way back to the study. She'd finally got Spike to wake up and make them breakfast, even though he complained about her always waking him up way too early. While they ate, she explained to him what had happened between herself and Luna a few hours earlier before realizing that the Pegasus was probably hungry as well. Making an extra plate, she magically carried it with her as Spike tagged along.

"So...what's his name again?"

"Frost. He's a...little rude, but maybe some food will help. After all, he did wake up in Princess Luna's bed."

"WHAT?! Really?! Jeez....that's some luck he's got."

"Yes, yes it is Spike. Thank you for making breakfast, by the way."

Twilight brought Spike close to her and gave his cheek an affectionate nuzzle, making the Dragon blush and squirm. "Cut it out Twi! I'm getting a little too big for that." She chuckled and let him go as they kept going down the hall. It was true; he had started getting slightly bigger. It was only a few months ago that she'd gotten the castle and not too soon after getting used to it, Spike started to grow. Now, he was the same height as her, but slightly slimmer that what he was before. Breaking herself out of her thoughts, she opened the door with a smile, ready to try speaking with Frost again.

"Sorry about earlier, I brought some.....break...fast..."

Disbelief crossed her features when she realized that he had vanished. Concerned, she put the plate down and began to try and think of what could've happened. "Mabye Luna came back for him...or he needed to go to the bathroom...?"

"Uh...Twi? There's a note for you."

She snapped out of her trance and took the note from Spike, who had a worried expression on his face. After re-reading the note four times, she carefully put it down and gave him a small smile. "Spike, where did you find this note?"

Spike's eyes grew wide and he slowly began to back away as he recognized what would be coming next. "Um...on your desk. Twi? Are you alright?" He already knew the answer, but he wanted to try and calm her down before things took a turn for the worst.

"Hmm? Yes Spike, I'm perfectly fine. Can you do me a favor though? I need you to write a note to Princess Luna and explain that.....I needed to....have a chat with Frost for awhile. I'll get the girls to help me. Thanks!" Without waiting, a purple flash went off and she was gone.

Sighing, Spike went to the desk and quickly scribbled the note to Luna, before letting loose a puff of fire and watching it take off. He'd mastered sending letters to different ponies as he got older, so he knew she would get it. What worried him, was how soon she would arrive in Ponyville. Before Twilight had left, she had a look that he'd come to know and fear: a very small smile, accompanied by a small tick under her left eye and a slowly fraying mane. Whoever that stallion was, Spike hoped he could fly fast. Very, very fast.

-Back in Canterlot-

Luna had just finished brushing her mane and making sure her regalia was in place when a small scroll materialized in front of her. Confused, she opened it up and skimmed it before crumpling it up in front of her. Resisting the urge to scream out in frustration, she ground her teeth together and turned to head to the balcony, when she heard a snickering behind her.

"Oh, it seems like somepony's upset. Would you like some ice cream to cheer up moonie?"

She spun on the spot and glared at the smirking God of Chaos, who was sitting mid-air holding a tub of chocolate ice cream. "What?" He asked. "The last time I called you LuLu, you nearly impaled me with your horn. Not a very good way of showing friendship hmm?" Fluttering his mis-matched eyes at her innocently, he grabbed a spoon from nowhere and took a huge scoop of the dessert.

"What does thou want Discord?!"

"Whoa, there, so hostile. I suppose that note had to do with your new bed buddy?"

"Bed bu-! How...DARE YOU! HOW DOES THOU KNOWEST OF HIM?!"

Wincing, Discord let go of the tub of ice cream and plugged his ears. "Easy there! I'll tell you, but would you please refrain from the Canterlot Scream? Half the city can hear you like that..."

Blushing, Luna cleared her throat and gave a small indignant sniff before talking once more. "Apologies. We....I did not mean to use such volume. He is, however, NOT my bed buddy. How do you know of him?"

Pouting, he uncorked his ears and did a lazy spin in the air before responding. "Well, I felt a weird magical energy coming from here last night, and it didn't belong to anypony I knew. Had to check it out. So? What does the letter say?"

Luna rolled her eyes before explaining to him. "It seems that...Frost...has gone out for a walk. Without telling Twilight directly. And now, she is out to find him."

Discord winced at the last comment but kept his face mostly expressionless. It seems that the human is smart...stay away from Celestia or anything to do with her, while he gets himself acquainted with his new body. Not bad...though I do feel a bit bad about Twilight hunting him down. Glancing at Luna, he gave a small shiver, noticing how angry she looked. Make that Twilight AND Luna. Clearing his throat, he looked at her and gave the best puppy eyes he could manage. "May I come along?"

Luna gave a small snort and nodded before making her way to the balcony and taking off. Discord paused for a moment before following behind, making sure not to get too close. Good luck to you Frost, you have two very angry mares hunting you down.

-Outskirts of Ponyville-

Frost jerked awake and shivered violently before looking around in worry. "It feels like someone walked over my grave.....twice......Mabye I should find a better place to hide for now..."
