Chapter 9:Surprise for a friend and a family.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWinter sneaked back into the hospital room with a wrapped box in his tail. He put the box quietly with all the others. His wasn't labeled so Prism wouldn't be upset with him if she didn't like the gift. He glided slowly over to an empty spot on the floor next to Midnight, perfect spot because it was a corner that he easily fit into. Putting himself in the corner he lowered his body and dozed off to sleep.
The next morning came too quickly for Winter and soon he was pushed out the door with the rest of the ponies and wandered home.
"Hey traitor!" Somepony yelled. Winter turned as his friend, Morph, came up," why did you abandon us for that," she said pointing disgustedly at Prism. Winter glared at Morph when she did that.
"What? She is a half-ling," she defended
"Yes but she's also my friend. Unlike you, she actually stayed loyal to me and didn't object to me doing anything. Unlike you, she actually tried to be kind to me and everypony else. And unlike you, she actually protects and helps ponies with disabilities or problems that they can't work through," Winter said this calmly but through gritted teeth. Shrugging it off, Morph just assumed it was a mistakenly said comment and would apologize later.
"Fine I'll get out of your hair.....for now." With that said Morph walked off. Winter sighed in relief, he really wanted to leave. Walking over to his house he felt like something was missing. Shaken out of his thoughts by something speeding past him, he sighed. Scared of his father's reaction to him coming home at noon from the hospital. Opening the door he walked in slowly trying not to make a sound.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!! YOU ARE GOING TO BE PUNISHED SEVERELY YOUNG MAN!!!" Busted, crap. Winter hung his head in shame,
"Sorry dad."
"You better be. Now before your punishment starts, I want to now where you were."
"Okay. I was at the hospital because my friend was hurt in the fire."
"Who was this friend?"
"Um. Prism th-the half-f-l-ling."
"YOU TRAITOR TO CELESTIA!!! YOU DISGRACE,GET YOUR STUFF AND LEAVE!!! DONT COME BACK EITHER!!!" Winter ecspected him to get yelled at but not kicked out. He quickly got all of his stuff then left.
I have no where to stay. Um. I am just going to have to go from house to house asking, it's worth a try. He smiled, speeding toward the last house on the street. On the way he ran in to Rainbow.
"Ouch!" Winter rubbed his forehead.
"Oh. Um Mrs. Dash, I was kicked out of my house because I helped your daughter, and I was hoping if you knew anywhere that I could stay." Rainbow looked at him sympathetically.
"Can you stay right here, I'm going to be back in a minute." Just like that she sped towards her house.
Rainbow landed on a cloud in front of the twins.
"Hey do you guys object to having another colt in the house." Confused they both said,
"No."
"Thanks! Bye," and then she just sped off.
"What was that about," Lightning asked.
"Dunno, don't care." Rolling her eyes at Thunder's bluntness, Lightning continued busting clouds.
Flying into her house she stopped just before colliding with a table. Midnight was playing with his daughters when she came in.
"Okay, I'm going to ask a question to you and I want all of you to answer truthfully. Do you object to having another colt in the house?"
"No," Midnight answered.
"Depends," said Cumulus.
"Not really but why do you ask?" Prism replied
"Because Winter Wind was kicked out of his house because he saved you." Hearing this Cumulus quickly replied,
"At that, yes I do mind another colt." Rainbow looked at her daughter in fear. Cumulus said this with a large amount of venom in her voice.
"Really. Just because it's him you don't want another pony in the house," Prism said.
"No. It's because, HE FRICKING BULLIED YOU FOR NEARLY HALF THE YEAR. THEN HE JUST RANDOMLY BECOMES YOUR FRIEND!!! YEAH, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IS A GOOD REASON TO HATE HIM!!!" Cumulus yelled this at the top of her lungs.
"Cumulus please lower your voice," Midnight snapped. Groaning, Rainbow said,
"Sorry, but if he agrees he's going to live with us." Cumulus started squeezing Prism,
"He won't hurt me Cue," Prism gasped, trying to breath. Releasing her grip, Cumulus moped on over to her mom. Rainbow flew as fast as she could out of there knowing what Cumulus was about to do.
Landing next to Winter, Rainbow said,
"Good news and bad news, good news, you're allowed to stay with us if you want, bad news, Cumulus hates you, so watch out." Winter smiled.
"Yes! Thank you!" he exclaimed hugging Rainbow.
"Kid, you can let go now," Rainbow said after a few minutes. Winter blushed in embarrassment and released his grip. Winter realized that since he had a new care taker he needed to talk to Miss Cheerilee.
"Um Rainbow, we need to tell Miss Cheerilee that I have a new care taker now." Rainbow sped off grabbing Winter. They stopped at a small house and Rainbow knocked on the door. Miss Cheerilee opened the door.
"What can I do for you two," she asked. Rainbow and Winter explained the problem. Cheerilee nodded.
Rainbow flew to her cloud house with Winter by her side. Winter walked inside behind Rainbow. Prism ran up to Winter and hugged him.
"You gave me the album, didn't you?" she asked. He blushed and nodded.
"It's beautiful, thank you." Once again Rainbow cleared her throat. Reluctantly they let go of each other.
"Cumulus, sorry but he agreed to stay," Rainbow said this happily. Cumulus burned holes into Winter's head. He slowly walked back trying to avoid her gaze. Rainbow chuckled and brought him back inside and closed the door.
