My Icy Rescuer

Arctic was looking out of the window, watching Twilight leave.

"Too bad Mallory's too busy working. If he wasn't I would've made sure she got home safely." He thought. Arctic, looked at his broken arm. "Damn it Rainbow!"

Arctic looked back in his room, void once more of the company.

"Well, it was nice having someone over, even if it was just for schoolwork."

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the hallway. Arctic looks outside his room and sees Iron lying on the floor with his brother Anthony and his foot got stuck in a bucket.

"Idiot," Arctic muttered as Iron sat up and rubbed his head.

"Hey Ice, help me out here, will ya?" Iron asked. Arctic pulled the bucket out and Iron stood back up.

“Thanks!” Iron said with a smile.

Arctic then looked at Anthony who’s still unconscious.“What happened to him?” Arctic asked.

“Asking Twilight sexist questions about you and her, so I knocked him out.”

Arctic crossed his arms and looked down at Anthony with a big smirk on his face.

“Did he now? Good riddance!” Arctic said smirking even more.

He then drags Anthony's unconscious body to their room with Iron following him. He placed Anthony on his bed and went out of their room.

He looks back at the mess Iron made while he was carrying Anthony. Arctic sighed and puts forward his hand. Suddenly, his hand glows light blue and a mop and a bucket glowed the same. The mop then moved around on its own and mopped the mess, along with the hallway. When the deed was done, the mop and bucket floated above the ground and flew towards the closet. Just as Arctic finished, Anthony woke up.

"Ugh, what happened?" He moaned as he placed his hand behind his head, rubbing the sore spot where he landed on.

"You decided to be an idiot and asked Twilight sexist questions," Arctic said as he entered the room. He then looks back at Iron.

"How did you even get your foot stuck in that bucket?"

"I didn’t see where I was going while carrying him." Iron pointed to his brother.

"I see," Arctic said as he leaned against the door.

"So, what size are they?" Anthony asked. Arctic stood still and Iron noticed Arctic's hair growing longer and his eyes were redder than normal. Immediately, Iron and Anthony knew that this was a bad sign.

"Alright, alright. I'll stop." Anthony said, waving his hands in defeat. Arctic let out a sigh and calmed down.

"Still, if you ask me, she likes you." Iron said.

"Nobody asked you Iron," Arctic said, letting out a small, but noticeable growl.

"Think about it Arctic, every time I comment something about you two, she starts blushing.

"I noticed that, but I don't care. Besides, we're too different. She's smart, wealthy, social."

"And a hot girl," Anthony said, looking up at the ceiling. Arctic paid no heed to what he said and continued.

"And what am I? I'm a creature from an alternate world who got banished for being different. I can barely control my own powers here." Arctic said as he looked at his hands.

"Hey, you can control your powers but you need to keep practicing like Mallory said. Also, you're strong, smart, and you may not socialize, but you're kind and loyal. I don't know about your looks, though, I don't swing that way." Iron said.

"If you say so," Arctic said as he smirked.

"Wait, what are you smirking abou-" Iron said. Then Anthony noticed something on Iron’s pants.

"What the hell, Iron!" Anthony said as he joined in the conversation. "You're 7 minutes older than me and you still wet your pants?!" He said.

"What? I don't wet my..." Iron looked down and indeed, his pants were wet from the crotch downwards. Anthony fell to the floor and started to laugh, while Arctic was desperately holding in a chuckle.

"It's not funny." Iron said as his hair started to move in a flame-like pattern.

"You're right It’s not funny… it's hilarious!!!" Anthony exclaimed as he held his stomach. Iron's hair starts moving faster and his hand was on fire.

"Oh yeah, then let's see who laughs now!" Iron said as he threw a fireball at Anthony, who managed to dodge it, but the fireball proceeded to burn the wall behind him.

"Hey, no fireballs," Anthony said as he threw his hand to the burning wall and a water stream came out of his hand, extinguishes the fire in a few seconds.

As the twins continued fighting in the room, Arctic just simply watched them enjoying the duel between water and fire.

"You guys are making a mess. And I'm not the one cleaning it up." He yelled to them, but apparently, it fell on deaf ears. He sighed he had more than enough of the fight. Arctic walked in the middle of their fight grabbing them both and holding them into the air with his eyes red he looked at them. Anthony and Iron stopped the fighting when they were both lifted up and looked down at Arctic.

“You both know what happens when there is a fight or hatred in a room where I ‘am in.” Arctic said. The two boy gulped at this. They knew what was coming to them. Arctic’s hands started to glow light blue again and the light on his hands spread out over the boys and froze them both. Arctic released them and they fell on the ground.

“Time for cool down boys.” Arctic said leaving the boys in their frozen state.

Twilight was staring at her plate.

"Honey, what's wrong? You haven't touched your dinner yet." Twilight Velvet said.

"Nothing Mom," Twilight replied.

"At least eat something honey."

"I should be grateful. Arctic didn't have a mother to cook for him." Twilight thought as she took a few bites.

"Have you asked Arctic about the case against Flash?" Her mother asked.

"Yeah. He said he was willing to help."

"Alright. Just tell him that the case is on Saturday, at 2:00 PM."

"Sure, Mom."

"So, how did your history project go?" Velvet asked.

"I paired up with Arctic and we discussed on what we should present. We then decided to take the People Power Revolution of the Philippines in 1986." Twilight responds.

"That's great." Velvet said. After twilight finished her food, she stood up and went to her room. When she got there, she opened her laptop and researched more about their history project when a message appeared on her screen. It came from Rarity.

"Call me." was all it said. Twilight followed and picked up her phone to call Rarity.

"HOW DID YOUR DATE GO?! TELL ME! TELL ME EVERY SINGLE DETAIL!" Rarity screams through her phone.

"It was alright. We just talked about our project and nothing else." Twilight said, as her ears were still ringing from Rarity's exclamation.

"Well, did you find anything special about him?" Rarity got very excited because her best friend first date was a success.

"Yeah, he's actually an orphan," Twilight said.

Rarity was quiet for a moment. "Hahaha. That's quite the joke, Darling." She said.

"I'm actually not joking, Rarity. He really is an orphan." Twilight said slowly.

Rarity stopped laughing. "Oh my, I never knew Arctic had it that hard. The poor dear" Rarity said.

"Arctic didn't tell anything to us before."

"Well, you have a point." Rarity said. "Well, do you still like him?"

"Of course. Parents or not, Arctic is still Arctic." Twilight said.

"So you two are a couple now, aren't you?" Rarity teased Twilight

"No, we're not. But... I wouldn't mind if we are." Twilight said as she took a lock of her hair around her finger.

"Did he show any signs of liking you?" Rarity asked.

"I don't know, but I did saw him shirtless.... and it looked good. Except for the bandages."

"You lucky girl. I have to hang up now, though, I have to deliver these clothes to the post office to send them to Manhattan."

"Ok, bye." Twilight smiled as she puts down her phone.

Back at the orphanage Arctic decided to thaw the two boys.

"T-T-Thanks, Arctic." Iron said shaking as he occurred a blanket around him.

"Y-Y-Yeah, thanks… Aaaatsjooooh!!!." Anthony said and sneezed as he also had a blanket around him.

"So... what have we learned today boys?" Arctic said as he focused on fixing the walls.

"Don't fight inside the orphanage." Said the twins.

"Exactly," Arctic said. "Now, as punishment, you both get to clean up this mess. All by yourselves."

"But we're still sick!" The twins moaned. Arctic rolled his eyes and blinked with his fingers.

“Better?” he asked. The boys nodded and they stood up and started with fixing up their room.

“Be glad I stopped you in your room things could have turned out a lot worse,” Arctic said leaving their room.

When the two brothers started fixing their room, Arctic went on his way to Mallory’s office. On his way, he hears Adagio, Aria and Sonata singing. "Luckily most of us are immune to their singing." Arctic thought.

He was on the first floor, turns around the corner when he bumped into someone. It was a girl about his age. Natural blue skin color, violet eyes, long white hair with some silver stripes and a star hairclip. She carried, a blue hoodie and a purple skirt with a magic wand and magic dust on it.

“Sorry, about that Trixie. I didn’t see you there.” Arctic said as he stood up and offered his hand to help Trixie to get back on her feet.

Trixie lies on the ground with an irritated expression on her face. “How dare you bumping into the great and powerful Trixie!!!” she exclaimed. Arctic rolled his eyes. “You can drop the act now Trixie we are not at school.” Arctic still offering his hand to help her up.

She still looks at him with an angry look but her expression quickly changed into a happy smile. “Sorry, but you can never know when someone is eavesdropping.” She said while standing back up with Arctic’s help.

“Nah, that’s ok Trixie. Hey, how is your training in shapeshifting coming?” Arctic wondered.

“Ow, it’s coming along nicely. A few more weeks and Mallory will let me do my final exam and then I’m officially part of the group.” She said excitedly while jumping up and down. Arctic smiled at her. “You know Trixie, sometimes I’m really jealous of you.”

“Jealous of moi? The great and powerful Trixie?” She said in a joking way.

Arctic nods. “Yeah, you get the roll to be the ‘show off’ with your magic tricks and Mallory gave me the role of ‘The lone, cold hearted wolf’ of the school.” Arctic sighed and continued. “I know, we do this to hide our secret powers and all. Some of us including I are not from this world. We have to adapt but still, I’d like to have a different role than acting like the lone wolf with a cold heart.” Arctic was starting to get sad after he said this and closed his eyes while looking away from Trixie.

Suddenly he felt a warm hand on his right shoulder. He turns around and he sees Trixie with caring looking eyes looking at him.

“I know it’s not easy for you to act like this at school, but hey! Maybe Mallory can give you a different role if you and Twilight become a couple.” Arctic was about to say something about him and Twilight becoming a couple but Trixie quickly placed her finger on his mouth. “I’m not finished yet.” Arctic allowed Trixie to continue. “That girl holds strong magic in her waiting to be unleashed. I felt it when she and I had an argument at school.” Trixie explained. “If she discovers her magic she will be afraid of it. Because she doesn’t know how to use it or how to control it. That’s where you come in and show her that she is not the alone with magical powers.”

Arctic had to agree with Trixie. He hopes that he can change his attitude once Twilight knows of her and his powers. "You’re right Trixie but we’ll leave it up to Mallory when that time comes. He’s the one who helped me how to use my powers and how to advance them. Heck, Mallory can help her when it is time. She already could read the title of Mallory’s magic book.” Arctic explained.

“Impressive” Trixie said with a surprised look. “Are you heading to Mallory?”

“Yeah, I want to hear his opinion about this and what we should do. Wanna come with me?” He suggested to Trixie.

“No thanks I still need to finish that essay that Miss Harshwhinny gave us.”

“Alright, I’ll see you later then Trixie!”

And they waved each other goodbye.
