Beauty And The Geek

In Ponyville, it's a sunny day. Fillies and colts laughing and playing. It was a normal day, but on this normal day, as every pony enjoyed the warm outside environment, a certain blue unicorn spends his time distracted by the technology he builds and creates.

Somewhere in Ponyville stands a huge blue condo where no one has seen any pony go in or out of. No one knows how or when it was built, but that is only because the certain blue unicorn lives there and rarely comes out.

This blue unicorn is named Band Sickle, oddly enough, and on this day he will see some pony in particular that will show him the fun and joy of nature and it's friends.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Inside the condo, in Band's bedroom, Band sits at his computer desk tip-tapping on his keyboard while his loyal crystal dragon, Blue Ray, sits beside his right leg.

Blue Ray looked up to his master's face and saw a sense of determination. Obviously, Band was playing a game, but then the computer shut off all of a sudden and Band looked at the screen with subtle shock.

"What the heck?" He asked to no pony in particular. He then pushed his chair out from under him to stand up and crouched down under his desk to look at the wiring.

"No. No," He mumbled quietly, checking each wire and it's place for any possible issues, "No. That's fine, too."

While he did this under the desk, Blue Ray crawled over to Band's face and began to nudge his master's cheek with his snout.

"What is it, Blue Ray?" Band asked looking toward him now.

Blue Ray crawled away toward a door in the far corner of the room that led to the kitchen and began scratching at it with his forelegs. This allowed him to tell Band that he was hungry.

"Okay, Blue Ray," He said, "but after I feed you, I have to get back to the issue at hand. Okay?"

Blue Ray just looked back at Band and made a sound from his voice.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Band opened the door and the little dragon scurried across the tile floor to his food bowl and waited patiently.

Band opened his freezer and took out a handful of ice sickles. Ice sickles are the only thing Blue Ray will eat. Band wasn't sure why, but he was glad that he could made ice sickles with his cheap water and not have to buy expensive gemstones like normal dragons eat.

Before Band moved to Ponyville, back when he was just becoming a  grown stallion, he was exploring The Crystal Mountains near the Crystal Empire. He went to the mountains as a daring adventure he had always wanted to take since he heard of the Crystal Mountains as a colt. He had already known that the exploration would take a span of weeks and on the second week, he had come across a cave and cautiously went in with his torch. The cave's ceiling was covered of ice sickles and some were broken in half, as if some pony chipped off a piece from almost each one. When he made it to the end of the cave, he saw something shine brightly from the ground in front of him in a blue-ish white glow. As he approached it, he saw a baby blue crystal dragon laying there, curled up, and freezing.

Band instantly realized that this dragon had been abandoned or left for dead, knowing how adult crystal dragons were hunted for their claws. He picked up the dragon and wrapped it in a blanket and named him Blue Ray because of Band's love for technology, and, of course, because the dragon was blue.

After all these fond memories floated to an end in his train of thought, Band was back down to Equestria, still staring at his little companion, who now was chomping and cracking his jaw on the ice and began to emit a cool misty fog around his body. This was because when Blue Ray ate ice, Band thinks that Blue Ray's stomach is lined with veins that  when Blue Ray consumes cold material the blood within the veins is cooled and then moves throughout the rest of his body and, what would be sweat glands for ponies, Blue Ray's frost glands emit steam from out of him (not sure where the steam is stored though) and allows his body to become completely ice cold.

Band made sure to keep his little buddy full of ice at almost all times. Because blue crystal dragons' natural habitat was in the Crystal Mountains in a frosty temperature of -35 degrees Celsius, and his species hunted to extinction (other than Blue Ray, of course) Band felt it was his job to protect Blue Ray in Ponyville, but because Ponyville was so warm during most of the year Band has to make sure he feeds Blue Ray larger amounts ice in one feeding than his normal appetite amount. Band found it nice in a way to be depended on, to be trusted, and to-

Band realized that he had to check on the computer problem and left the kitchen to his room. He bent crouched down again, taking a final check on each and every painstakingly small detail in the jumble of wire. That was his whole life's passion. He enjoys and indulges in his intellect every time he remembers how uncommon  it is to see a blue unicorn, no any unicorn in general, that takes great happiness and glee out of just rewiring a few misplaced jacks (for those who honestly don't know, the jack is the metal stem that sticks from one end of a headphone wire, for example).

As Band scanned his eyes across the vast wall of rubber wires drapped under his desk, he saw no misplaced wires and no damages to the the wires themselves. Band then felt a sense of dread and anxiety shiver up his spine as he hoped that, what was the last and most likely problem, wasn't the problem. He stepped out from under his desk table and stood up to face the computer system itself.

Band's face began to show a mood of complete and pure terror. "No," He thought as he saw the memory chip inside now melted and burned, "Not my baby. She was so beautiful!" Now the chip was covering every sensitive strand of copper wire within the computer with it's melted plastic.

"Blue Ray!" Band called to his dragon without looking away from, for Band, is a very mentally scarring sight, "We're going out!"
