It took three more days for it to finally stop snowing. By then, the Princesses had managed to put together an expedition to the crash site. They were both very nervous about what they may find...

"Should we take more guards?" a young purple pong asked.

"Young Twilight, this is half of the Royal Guard, how much more do you think we will need?" Celestia asked in reply.

Both wore plate armor, as they really weren't too sure what they would find. Only Luna seemed calm, staring at the whisps of smoke still emanating from the base of the mountains. She would turn as the captain of the guard marched up.

"We are ready to depart, your majesties." he said, an equally calm look on his face.

"Good, the sooner we know what is there, the happier I'll be." Luna replied, frowning slightly.

The two other princesses nodded in assent, and the whole troop moved out.

"You think he's dead?"

"Nah, he's still breathing..."

Leave me alone...[i/] I thought. My body was now throbbing, the adrenaline from the crash long worn off. I had been asleep for a while, but I wasn't sure how long. One, maybe two rotations? I remembered freeing myself from the ship... and then I walked into a cave I saw.... Ugh, why was my mind fogging up like this? I had escaped from something.... A lot of somethings....

"Look at his face, he must be in a lot of pain..."

That voice... one of the beings I found here spoke like that... bubbly, yet soft at times... Man, what was wrong with me?

"Wouldn't you be? He did walk away from that crazy crash without a scratch on him!"

Ah, that would be the blue one... very dominant... or just tomboyish... Since when did I analyze people like this?

"Looks like the snow stopped for a while... we should try and make it back before it starts again." the blue one said.

"But what about him Dashie? We can't just leave him here..." the pink one replied.

"What, you want me to carry him? I may be strong, but Applejack would be better for that. Not to mention, he's too injured to be moved I think..." they answered. Were they actually caring about me?

"Then... you go back to Ponyville and get some help. I'll stay here and watch him." the pink one said.

"Pinkie, you think I'm going to leave you alone with him? We don't even know who or what he is! He could be dangerous!" Dash argued.

"He's not dangerous. Now go get help, I'm almost out if snacks." Pinkie said defiantly.

Dashie yelled in frustration, but did eventually leave, her footsteps getting fainter until I could no longer hear them.

Well, looks like she's not all bubbles and glitter... imagine that[i/] I thought.

"Make me walk alone.... ugh, what is she thinking...." I thought. Pinkie Pie was acting weird. Well, weirder than normal. She almost seemed to like this guy.

But why, it made no sense. She just met him. He literally crashed in some crazy contraption! Isn't that like, really weird?[i/]

I was gonna drive myself nuts trying to understand what she was thinking, but I had to get help or else she would freeze out there.

"C'mon Dash... just a bit farther" I told myself. I would have flown to town, but it was so dang cold I couldn't fly more than a few feet. The sun was getting low in the sky by the time I reached town, and I was sore from walking.

"Dash? Dash!"
Suddenly I was wrapped in a hug, and I realized it was Fluttershy.

"H-hey Fluttershy. I n-need some help" I said, my voice cracking from the cold.

Before she could answer, a voice called out from behind us.

"So you were up on the mountain?"

We both turned to see our friend Twilight as well as Celestia and Luna, along with a small army. I nodded, and Celestia stepped forward.

"Then tell me. What happened?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
