My book of stories

"Bye my little ponies! Have a great summer!" Miss Cheerilee called. Winter, Prism and Cumulus ran up to their parents(although Winter doesn't think of them as parents). Midnight picked Prism up and twirled her in the air.

"Another year gone! My little Prism is growing up so fast," he said this with tears in his eyes. Prism giggled and tackled him. Winter stood by and stared. Rainbow got up and let Cumulus jump on her. Winter flyer around them and thought, this is going to be a long and boring summer. He sighed and followed them home.

"Hey kid," Rainbow said to Winter, she captured his attention,"I need to talk to you when we get home," Winter nodded. Rainbow lead them inside but kept Winter outside.

"Kid, what's on your mind," Rainbow said softly.

"I-I don't know." Rainbow shook her head.

"What do you feel?"

"Well I feel like something's missing, when I'm around your daughters it just dissapears." Rainbow nodded knowingly.

"Who is the one that makes the feeling go away?"

"I think it might be Prism. But why did you pull me aside?"

"Because I-I wanted to know what's been happening."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I.....just, I  needed to know how you felt towards the family is all," she stuttered and partly lied.

"Okay. I thank the fact that you care. I'm sorry but I still don't think of you as a real family."

"Hey kid, it's fine. You don't ever have to. Please enjoy your stay with us," Rainbow said this with truth.

"Okay, but can I be alone for a bit?"

"Of course. Call me if you need anything." With all that said, Rainbow headed inside.

Winter sighed and opened up his wings. Taking to the sky, he searched the ground for something. He found it and zoomed down toward it. It was a gravestone which read,

R.I.P

Snowflake,

A loving mother and willing wife,

Snowflake maker at cloudsdale weather factory,

Died protecting equestria,

Aged-34

Winter let a tear escape his eye. He sat down and said,

"Mother I need help." A blue spirit escaped the gravestone and landed next to Winter. The spirit formed into a beautiful mare.

"Yes Winter." Winter sighed,

"I was kicked out of the house because I helped the Dash's daughter. They thought that I could stay with them and I agreed. Now, I don't know what is happening anymore." He started crying and leaned into the spirit. She put a hoof around him and replied,

"I will haunt your father for the rest of his life. Anyway about the Dash family, do you have any weird feelings?"

"Yes actually, I always feel like something's missing when I'm not around their daughter, Prism, she's the one that I saved from the school fire a few weeks back."

"And why did you save her?" The mare asked this in a knowing manner, much like Rainbow when she started asking questions.

"Because, she.....I don't know anymore! Am I going insane mama."

"No, but I must tell you, follow what you think is right, don't trust your heart in almost any situation, it will mislead you. Follow what you know is right. Don't ever and I mean EVER, trust your heart, especially in dire situation. Follow your knowledge, and if you really don't know, open this locket," she said this seriously and handed over a silver snowflake shaped locket. Winter put it around his neck. He smiled and hugged his mother.

"I love you mom."

"I love you too Winter." All things said, Snowflake got up and floated back into her grave. Winter smiled and took back to the sky.

"-and then Thunder ran into a storm cloud," Lightning finished her story and finished dusting. Winter walked inside right then. Rainbow looked curiously at the locker he was wearing but didn't voice it.

"Welcome back. I'm surprised that you came back so early." Winter raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off.
