Elegy to the Snow Pony

i went downstairs, and i came out of the boutique, and i sat down on the grass, and i saw the shining lanterns of the city, until i heard a little voice

the sun didn’t come out yet, and the clock falls softly for the wall, the bright stars of the night shone beautifully, and a strong feel of sadness invaded my heart, the leafs of the trees are moved with the wind, and my body started to feel the cold of the night.
my hands still perceived, the Rarity’s warm horn and her soft mane, and when i closed my eyes i could see her walking in the red room, I felt strange, but I didn’t know why, like if a strange feeling fill me. But no matter what I do, we’re separated by the distance of being different, and that is something that I must learn to accept.

It’s true, i said some thing about her that i never should say, and that didn’t make me proud. But i know that when all was said and done everything will be so different

i never was a good man, i assumed, even I’m a lonely man, abandoned by the circumstances of the time, but that no matter now, because I had a motivation to open my eyes to the life, to change, i have the courage, i have the will.

but the feeling of the love, starts to awake in my soul, but sometimes i feel that I’m walking so close to the edge, so close to fall. Some say that the love can change a men, but here i am, alone, with fear, lonely in the dark night.

A great distance separate us, this is something that i must learn to accept, but.. There must be some other way.. Some other way.

In these reflections, the morning comes; i could hear the sing of the birds and the sound of opened windows, until i heard Rarity’s voice

i looked up and i smiled at her, she greeted me shaking her hoof

I came into the boutique smiling and planning my next movement.

IV

In the way of the crusaders

The afternoon clock noted the 02:28 PM and after a lunch, i went to the school to pick up Sweetie Belle, for request of Rarity who was to finish some dresses, and i, like it was evident, wouldn’t refuse to her request in any way.

I came out to the road with some fear when I saw The abject way that some ponies look at me, maybe seeing in me a potential threat, they don’t spoke , they don’t looked me into my eyes. They only whispered silent words that i couldn’t hear

Like foreigner, find the school was a great challenge; I walked for the streets for a long time searching that place where I could find the girls.
y thanks to my no capacity of guidance, I finish, again, in a riverbank who was between a green hills

The day was cloudy and dark, I turned around and went to the centre, before go to the suburbs, where i supposed I could find the school

It was getting late, so i started to run, until suddenly i saw to cherilee, teacher of the girls, i stopped and asked her

i walked happy after arrive to the school and I remembered the promise that I had done to Sweetie Belle and I turned pale, I wasn’t sure that i should have done that promise

And in effect, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom was waiting, standing there. I arrived, catch my breath and said

I wasn’t sure of all of this, so i tried to evade her

They went jumping and singing melodiously, after a while we came to what was once the applejack’s club house, now remodelled by the girls and indeed, there, inside, Scootaloo was waiting.

I was invited to sit the house was so small and uncomfortable for me i must said
- Very well, which are the activities programmed for today? - Scootaloo asked
- Lets see... lets see... - said Applebloom leafing through a book - here it is.
- Which are? - said Sweetie
- Racing scooters, Weightlifting and throwing darts

I feel a little bit of fear so I said

We came out to the plane; they brought all the implements for the day and began with the tests. The first one was Scootaloo who took the scooter went to a ramp and asked me to position myself at some point of it

she turn on the little engine, the scooter slid down the ramp and when reached the pinnacle shine with the sun, but when started to descend, it was directly into me, i did hundred of possible connections, who crossed for my head and rolled to one side 3 seconds before, or maybe i would have died, And though Scootaloo landed smoothly almost I ended up with a heart attack.
- Hey girls!, you nearly killed me - I said almost in a scream
- Sorry. I suppose we must try with the weight – said Scootaloo

It was the turn of Sweetie Belle this time, a weight of 44 pounds she leaned over the little table and began to lift with great effort and vigor

I was asked to hold on one end of the weights, but I presume that it were defective because one of the weights started to slide i must said that I'm not strong, I couldn’t hold it and the weight fell on my feet, it don’t exploded, strangely. But it caused me a great pain and a instant swelling in the foot, I screamed so loud.

The girls laughed I couldn’t stand it anymore... but everything exploded in the third test: the darts. cause I positioned myself under a tree with the target between my hands.

I dodged the first dart that went straight to my head, but the next two fell directly into my arms and legs. I pulled them out immediately and fell on my knees.

Almost shouting i asked

I got up with difficulty and said

I was going away slowly along the path, I looked back and the girls said

I went away whispering words and angry for my bad luck, simply, I couldn’t believe that three girls could cause so many problems. I passed for the park and I found Lyra sitting in a bench
She looked at me and gave me a kick with her hoof. And yes, I assume that this was one of my worst days

Arrive at the hospital for a quick and urgent attention. I searched for a doctor, after a while, he came out

From there to an hour I was in my bed waiting. I must be frank, nothing was going well and I was getting tired of all this

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I thought it was one of the doctors or nurses with their stupid pills or something like that

To my surprise wasn’t a doctor, it was Twilight Sparkle who came through the doorway

Suddenly I heard the sound of hooves in the distance until an orange pony entered
Into my room

We talked a while and then she went to help big mac with the apples. Twilight was leaving, but I stopped her

She looked horrified

The door opened and I heard suddenly and a voice saying to me

The night passed while she was telling me stories of his life and the wonders of Ponyville

The clock pointed the 4:40 AM when she closed her eyes in the dream of a dream, fragile and weak I got up and I hugged her, almost imperceptible.
