Chapters It was a cold night in Equestria. People made sure to wear warm clothes, stay inside and drink hot chocolate by the fire. Not a single soul was seen outside that night... Except for one unlucky princess. Princess Luna had Everfree watch. She didn't really want to check out the everfree at this time a night. Plus, it was very cold out. But alas, she had to for safety reasons.
"You'd think the weather would be an excuse for me to stay inside tonight but noooooo, It's 'mandatory ' that I do so. I'd like to see Tia out here, freezing her butt off just to walk around a stupid forest." Luna complained to herself quite immaturely.
Luna was just about done scoping the area and was about to walk back when she heard someone shiver and cry a bit near by.
"What in the..." Luna muttered under her breath and cautiously walked over to where she heard the voice.
When she got there, her heart began to melt. A girl was sitting next to a cave, shivering from the cold gusts of wind. It looked as if she was crying as well.. But Luna couldn't tell for sure quite yet as she didn't want to get close and startle the girl.
Luna decided to approach her calmly so she didn't scare her off. "Hey there.."
The girl gasped a bit and looked up at Luna. "P-princess Luna? What are you doing o-out here.."
Luna noticed the girls stutter. Surprisingly, it wasn't out of fear. She still kept her distance just in case."I was scoping the area for safety reasons when I heard shivering and crying. I followed the sound and it lead me to you... What happened, if you don't mind me asking..."
The girl paused for a moment. "You can come closer if you want... I don't mind."
Luna smiled a bit and walked up to her. Now she was able to see her features a lot better. The girl had white hair with Amethyst purple eyes. She looked young... Like around 18 or 19. Luna knelt beside her in silence.
The girl began to speak "The people of the city I lived in chased me out of town a few years back... They saw me as a threat I guess... So i decided to live in the forest as no one is around to hurt me..."
Luna was was taken back by this. 'She's lived out here all this time... poor thing... ' Luna thought to herself. She spoke up"What?! Why would they do that to you?"
"Because of my element... I was a cursed child..." The girl said sadly.
"Why would you be a cursed child because of your element?" Luna asked curiously.
"It's the element of insanity... It's the worst element to have... You're seen as a threat and a curse by everyone..." She said quietly
"Well that's just stupid. They shouldn't judge you on your element, but by your personality. Thats what matters more. To be honest, I see a really kind and amazing girl." Luna smiled softly
"Y-you do?" The girl asked, surprised.
Luna nodded "I really do."
The girl began to smile "That's a first for me.."
Luna smiled softly and gave her a quick but warm hug "Hey.. What's your name?"
"My name is Dollie.." The girl said quietly.
"Thats a very pretty name." Luna said softly.
"Thank you..." Dollie said shyly. She began to shiver.
"You need to warm up... How about you stay at the castle with me?" Luna suggested.
"Nonono, it's quite alright. I don't wanna be a burden to anyone..." Dollie said quietly.
"Nonsense. You won't be a burden to anyone. If anything, we'd like to have a face around. You'd be a good friend." Luna said, smiling reassuringly.
"A friend? No one's really wanted to be my friend before..." Dollie said, now feeling a bit warm on the inside.
"Well now you have one. Me." Luna smiled softly.
A genuine smile formed on Dollies lips. "Well... I guess I can stay at the castle then..."
That seemed to make Luna happy. "Great! Now lets get you back to the castle to warm up."
Dollie nodded a bit. As soon as she knew it, she was in another room. Luna wanted to hurry home as it was cold and just teleported back into her room. Dollie was sitting next to the fire place in Luna's room. She was cold and Luna waned her to warm up quick so she didn't get sick.
Dollie felt the warmth of the fire melt away the icy cold feeling that took over her body "Thank you..."
"Anytime." Luna said softly as she handed Dollie a cozy blanket.
Dollie wrapped it around herself and smiled softly. No ones ever been this kind to her before... It felt good on the inside and she was greatful.
"I think you and I will become good friends." Luna said, looking out her window.
"Ya think so?" Dollie asked, eyes sparkling with a bit if hope and happiness.
"I do" Luna said softly "I really do..."
It's been a few weeks since Dollie first met Luna in the everfree forest. Luna was right that night. They became very good friends. Dollie and Luna felt comfortable with each other and would trust one another with many things. A couple of weeks back, Luna's friend Orion came to visit and was introduced to Dollie. He was tall and had brown hair as well as brown eyes. He was very friendly towards her, making Dollie feel comfortable around him.
Luna said they've been friends for a while and said how sweet and warm hearted he was. Dollie began noticing Luna had feelings for him by the way she tended to act like a love struck puppy. Orion seemed to have feelings for her as well because he would sometimes become a little clumsy around her and his face would turn red.
Dollie would watch them make fools of themselves in front of one another and giggle. A part of her heart felt empty though. She wanted the kind of affection Orion would give to Luna.
She remembered a childhood friend she would always play with... She had a huge crush on him, and still does to this day. They got separated a while back and she hasnt seen him since... He was the only one who accepted her for who she was and was always so happy around her. She wished she could see him again... For now she just talked with Luna and Orion and enjoyed the friends she had now.
"Orions coming over today. He said he's bringing a friend with him." Luna said
"Well the more the merrier." Dollie smiled softly.
Luna smiled at Dollies enthusiasm. She seemed happier since she went to stay with her at the castle. It made Luna feel good to know she was doing so well.
After a bit, There was a knock on Luna's door.
"Come in!" Luna said, knowing who it was.
The door opened, revealing Orion behind it with his friend. Dollie couldnt see his friend well or Orion as she was sitting in a spot that didn't have a view of the door. Orion walked in and gave Luna a hug.
"Luna, this is my friend, Gianfar." Orion said as his friend shook her her hand.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Gianfar." Luna smiled softly.
"Likewise.." He said kindly.
Dollies eyes shot open when she saw the 'friend' Orion brought. His long white hair and deep electic blue eyes were unforgettable. He was way taller than the last time she saw him...
"Gianfar?" Dollie asked quietly and slowly stood. Tears formed in her eyes.
Gianfar looked at the girl. Tears began to form in his eyes as her recognized her as well. "Dollie...?"
She hugged him tightly and begand crying into his chest. She hugged her back the same way and began to cry as well.
"I thought I lost you..." Gianfar sobbed silently.
"I thought I lost you too..." Dollie said, still crying into his chest.
Luna and Orion had a sad smile. Gianfar told Orion about a good friend of his that he hasn't seen in years and that he missed her very much. Vise versa with Dollie to Luna.
After a bit Gianfar and Dollie slowly redived to snifles and smiled softly at one another.
"It's so good to see you again.." Dollie sniffled a bit but smiled.
"Its good to see you again too." Gianfar smiled back.
Luna smiled at that "So this was your childhood friend?"
Dollie looked at her and nodded "Yeah he is.."
"You two look so cute together! You'd make a great couple." Orion smirked.
Dollie and Gianfar blushe and looked away shyly.
"How about you two walk in the garden a bit. Ya know, to catch up." Luna said.
Dollie thought that be a good idea and nodded.
"Do you want to do that G?" Dollie looked at G shyly.
"Sure!" He smiled.
Dollie smiled brightly. She held his hand and lead him out the door while Gianfar chuckled at her childish antics.
Luna chuckled softly " I think those two will be dating before you know it."
"Do you think they still have feelings for each other?" Orion asked with his head tilted.
"Definitely.." Luna said with a soft smile.
Where old feelings resurface
Dollie and Gianfar were walking in the Royal Gardens. Dollie was still holding Gianfars hand and didn't really want to let go as if she'd lose him again.
Gianfar didn't want to let go either. He wanted this to last for a while. 'I missed her so much... So luch time has gone by... Has she changed at all...Is she still the girl I fell in love with...' He thought to himself.
They sat on a bench near the little pond in the garden. Dollie cuddled up with him lovingly. Gianfar blushed but cuddled with her as well.
"You're very cozy..." Gianfar said quietly.
Dollie's face turned light red "you are too..."
She nuzzled his chest a bit. Gianfars face turned red but he found himself purring to that. They both felt warm on the inside whenever they were with each other.
Dollie still seemed to be that same shy and sweet girl he fell in love with all those years ago, and He seemed to be that warm hearted, sweet and sensitive guy That Dollie fell in love with.
'Thats my snowy...' Gianfar thought to himself. His nickname for Dollie was snowy as her hair was so white. Even more than his.
All Dollie wanted to do was be with Gianfar... She didn't have to talk at all, and neither did he. All they wanted was to be close with one another.
Dollie huggled him a bit clingily and mumbled "Mine..."
Gianfar's dace turned dark red at that "W-what..."
"Mine..." She mumbled again.
His face was still dark red, but he smiled softly at that. "Forever yours." He kissed her cheek lovingly and hugged her back more.
Dollie began to play with his hair a bit, making him purr softly. She remembered cuddling up and playing with his hair as a kid and how much she loved him. She wanted to make him hers so badly, but she was scared he didn't love her.
Gianfar felt the same way she did. He was scared she didnt like him back... He was scared of rejection. He decided to wait a bit and then tell her when he was ready. It was better to tell someone and be rejected then never tell them and they actually like you.
Meanwhile Luna and Orion were still in Luna's room playing chess. Luna ended up winning as she used to play it when she was younger with her sister.
"You're too good at this game." Orion chuckled.
"Practice makes perfect." She winked playfully.
He laughed a bit "Well that was a good game. Wanna play go fish?"
"Sure! At least in that game anyone could win." Luna said.
"Exactly." Orion said.
Luna laughed and got the cards out. She shuffled them and gave Orion seven cards. She kept seven as well.
They played about four rounds. They tied in two of them, orion won one game and Luna won the last game.
"Well... we tied." Luna said.
Orion laughed "we have the best luck at this game."
Luna laughed as well "I guess so."
Orion became a bit shy and a blush appeared on his face.
Luna tilted her head "Orion are you alright?"
He nodded "Yeah, I am... I just wanted to ask you something..."
"What is it?" She asked, sort of confused.
"Would you like to go to Neighagara falls with me on Saturday..?" He asked shyly.
Luna wasn't expecting that at all. Her cheeks turned bright red but she seemed happy. "Sure. I'd love to go with you."
His face seemed to brighten up "Really?"
Luna nodded and smiled "Of course!"
Orion was grinning ear to ear. He seemed really happy. Luna giggled a bit at his big goofy grin.
"How about we go after dinner?" Orion asked.
"It's a date." Luna said softly.
