There are times when you feel utterly alone...and sometimes, when you're alone enough, you forget what it's like to even want the company of another. I've been alone for so long now; I don't need anyone else.

Snow falls silently against the gray of the mountains surrounding the cottage tucked away in a bed of trees.

"Thanks for your service!" An old mare yelled as I exited the door.

"No problem sir, thank you for your business "

Walking out into the open I was met with the suttle caress of the Norths chilly wind, blinded by star like flakes reflecting in the light of the moon. It amazed me how the Pegasi could keep this place so well maintained. With the sun gone and the moon fully out I realized my job took way longer than anticipated and probably should've asked to stay the night of it wasn't any trouble.

"Sigh~ oh well."

The night seemed to dragging on forever. And the longer I stayed in the snow the more it's charm was wearing off. I decided to rest for a bit on the edge of a cliff nearby overlooking the frozen valley when suddenly the sky lit up in flashes of light unfolding into a river of colors across the sky! I'd never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life. I sat on the edge enchanted by this rainbow dance, losing myself in my imagination.
"Just a bit more- I told myself. "Then I'll get going."

Just then there was a flash of light and I immediately looked up to see the light had split apart and was now squirming in the air. Just then a shadow flew high above me, rushing to grab the two ends. The Pegasus then proceeded to forces the wild ends together, struggling a bit, until finally the ends met. Sealing the Crack and returning it to its normal way as if it never broke in the first place.
*~♧
There's nothing more I love than my job. The beautiful colors, the crisp wind through my mane and wings! Extreme bliss. Tonight though, has been one of the busiest all month. The lights were breaking all over the place! Once here, a little there, then one 10 miles away and then another 3 miles back.
"This is crazy. Magic must be unbalanced lately." I say binding another ray together.

Once I finished up the connection and re-checked to make sure there were no cracks, something caught my eye. I noticed a shadowy figure amongst the trees near the cliff. I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. And I wasn't. There was a pony down there, which baffled me. No one's lodging was around for miles, let alone would sit at the end of one of the deadliest cliffs willingly. This pony must be seriously bonkers or worse.
"Must be lost." I said flying down to meet the mystery pony.

Flying down I caught one wicked wind stream that sent me hurdling towards the cliff. It took all I had to pull myself up to avoid crashing into its face and realign myself to land behind the pony, with some distance of course. My wings are too big to close like a proper Pegasus so I just kept them close to my body as I walked over to get a closer look. And man, the sight before me was truly sent from above. The Mare in front of me basically shone with all the brilliance of a glistening gem. Mane long and flowing, coat sleek and shiny like an opal, as purple as an amethyst and as delicate as the flowers in spring, soft and full of life. I tried to gather my thoughts together but to no avail. My words came out harsh and wrong.

"Oi, what are you doing in these parts of the woods eh? This is my territory you know. And I don't take too kindly to trespassers." Fool! What were you thinking!?

She shrunk into herself, "I um... I seem to have become lost I-I had no idea I was trespassing. Honest!"

I circled the mare wanting to get a better view, entranced by her scent and sweet lulling voice. Lavender. But again, my words were harsh and not at all what I wanted to say.

"Hmm, I don't believe you. Got any proof?" Proof! What good would proof do you block head!?

"No. T-This is the f-first time I've been up north. I had work, my boss s-sent me instead because she was busy with other orders, Honest!"

"Oh really? Where? " Great! Just great! Her first time up north and she's being interrogated by somepony she doesn't even know!

"Well, just a little up the way from snake river. I have the paperwork if you want to see it." She whimpered, shaking nervously, but I couldn't tell from me or from the cold. Sweet Celestia I pray it wasn’t because of me.

"No thanks, that's enough. But tell me, what's a mare like you doing in a place like this? Don't you know it's dangerous to travel alone? and in the dark for that matter?" Ah, right oh good chap, the first nice thing you meant to say all evening, well done.
"Well I…Mare?, I heard something snap. "I~ am a STALLION."
"What!? REALLY!?" I gasped in shock and disbelief.

"Yes."

"Really!?"

"Yes!" Sh- He, responded with flaring nostrils.

"...REA~LLY?"

He looked at me with his mouth gaped open the again with a straight face. I looked him over once again, my eyes not believing that this body belonged to a male, and yet, seeing so. Once our eyes met I came crashing back to my senses and realized I had been staring for way too long and I could see he was going to lose his temper.

I cough to break the ice, his glare still focused on me. I said the first thing that came to mind, and looked dead in his face.

"Really?"

"Urgh! Of all the pony- sweet Celestia! How rude can one be! Good day sir!" He stormed past me, tail slapping me in the face as he stormed by and headed down the hill, I was right, it was lavender and…cream? Before I knew it I had chased after him.
"No wait! Look. I'm sorry it's just-

"I don't need to hear your Excuses thank you! Now if you EXCUSE me. I have to return home where there are civilized ponies around!" He trotted off into the darkness, the forest swallowing him whole in attempt to block me from pursuing.

The snow covering his hoof prints and the strong scent of the evergreens cover his smell. I sat where he left me dumb founded and blank. Replaying over and over things I could’ve said, should’ve said. But I didn’t. I was brought back to reality from the explosion of another light strand breaking.
“Sigh~ way to go me, no wonder you live up here all alone.” And I fly back to my job.
