The Return of Frost Paw
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen the morning came the storm had abated and the sun shone through clear skies. Frost Paw was first one to wake; he looked over to see his brother still in-between him and Luna. Seeing the colt brought a smile to him as he remembered the night before. Looking over at the clock he saw it was around seven thirty in the morning which meant that he needed to start breakfast, so he got out of bed as quietly as he could as not to disturb its other occupants then headed to the kitchen and started to cook.
About half an hour later the smell of pancakes and hash browns filled the air waking the occupants of the house. Luna and Fusion walked into the dining room to see a mountain of food already set on the table and they were the last two to arrive. Seeing that they were late had Luna blushing for sleeping in so long and started to apologize. “Don’t worry, I let you two sleep-in so long because it takes a while to cook everything,” Frost cut her off.
Luna looked relived as she heard him say that. “Well you should have let me help,” she said with a smile. “How long were you up anyway?”
“I have been up for half an hour cooking,” Frost said, “I don’t mind. In fact I kind of find it relaxing and I kind of like cooking.” That said they ate the breakfast he made. When they cleaned up and put everything away they left to start the day, meaning Luna left for Canterlot while Frost Paw, Robinton, and Octavia left of the music store. The only one left was Fusion Flair who no one noticed. Seeing that he was alone he walked out to see the town that was near the house.
On the way into town he ran into a white unicorn mare with three diamonds on her flank and a curly purple main and tail, and a purple and green dragon walking towards the house he came from. As the two came closer the white pony saw him and ran up to him saying, “What are you doing out here little guy? Where are your parents?” she asked him as the dragon caught up with her. “Oh, there you are Spike. Do you know who this little guy’s parents might be?”
The now named dragon shook his head and replied, “No Rarity, I don’t.”
Upon seeing another dragon Fusion started to tell Spike about who he was, the only problem was that he was talking in dragon not the pony language; which meant Rarity could not understand him. “My name is Fusion Flair and my brother is Frost Paw. I’m just wondering around town to get familiar with it. It is nice to meet you two, but could you help me find somepony?”
This shocked Spike hearing the pony speaking in draconic but replied likewise, “It is nice to meet you as well Fusion Flair. Who do you need help finding?”
Rarity could not take not understanding what the two were saying and asked, “What did he say Spike?”
“He said his name is Fusion Flair and he is looking for somepony,” Spike told her. When she looked confused he told her that they were talking in the dragon’s language.
Fusion took that moment to give Rarity the puppy dog eyes which made her fall all over him because almost no one can resist the cuteness of the look. The technique, however, worked against him as the mare squealed and grabbed him with her magic and ran to her house to make a cute outfit for him. With a sigh Spike followed her to make sure she did not do anything to make herself look bad.
When he arrived at Rarity’s he saw that Flair was sitting in the middle of the main room looking scared while Rarity was sewing up a storm in the next room. Spike walked over to Flair and whispered so Rarity didn’t hear him, “Don’t even try to get her to like you she is mine.”
Flair looked at the other dragon with confusion written all over his face and asked, “What are you talking about? That mare scares me.” This made Spike feel kind of bad seeing as he was getting jealous over nothing.
Just then the lady of the house walked in with a dress floating in front of her as she moved over to Flair. “Now then how about we get this fitted on you. Hold out you wings please,” the mare said to now shaking colt. As Flair unfolded his wings a vile fell to the floor and the three saw a note attached to it written in a different language. Spike picked up the vile and noticed it was in draconic so he read it aloud, “’For Fusion Flair, drink in case you meet Rarity. Your brother Frost.’ I guess that maybe you should drink it Fusion Flair.” Flair thought about it and then took the vile from Spike and drank the potion that was inside. When the contains were drained a light formed around Fusion Flair and when it receded it left a mare the looked almost exactly like Fusion Flair. Socked Flair ran to the mirror to look at him/her-self, only to see that he was a mare. Upon seeing that she started to get mad at Frost Paw and screamed out his name so loud that it was heard in Canterlot.
“You mane is smoking dear,” Rarity said after she calmed down, “That won’t be good for your dress, so you need to calm down.” Upon hearing this Flair started to calm but she was still muttering curses under her breath. Seeing that the now filly had stopped smoking Rarity helped her into the dress. “There now that wasn’t so bad now was it? Now I understand why Frost Paw asked me to make a dress for you.”
‘That explains why this crazy mare dragged me here’, Flair thought, ‘You messed up brother and I will get you back for this.’ “Hey, Spike do you have any dragon to pony translation books I could borrow?” she asked her fellow dragon.
Spike thought for a moment before he replied, “Twilight might have some in the library. Why do you need them?”
Flair gave him a look that said, ‘do you really not know’ and facehoofed. “I can’t speak pony yet if you hadn’t noticed. Why do you think I’m only talking in dragon?”
“I’m sorry, just thought you were raised by dragons and were afraid of other ponies,” Spike tried to apologize.
“How about we show you around Ponyvill now Fusion Flair?” the ever lady like Rarity asked. Flair nodded and they left the building to see the town. The small group walked around Ponyvill with Rarity telling Flair the names’ of the stores that they passed on the way to the Siren’s Song. When they arrived by the library they stopped to get the books that Flair wanted but Twilight saw Fusion Flair. “Who are you parents? What are you? Where did you come from? Do you understand me?” Twilight started to ask more about the young filly but Flair’s eyes barely glowed brighter as a zipper appeared on Twilight’s mouth and zipped it shut shocking the purple mare.
Flair glared at Twilight as she said, “You voice annoys me, shut up.” Hearing the younger filly speak in draconic shocked Twilight almost as much as her using magic. Twilight was not the only on shocked to see the zipper appear on her mouth as Rarity fainted and Spike fell on the floor laughing.
“Ha ha ha. At least someone has finally found a way to shut you up egghead,” came a voice from above them as a rainbow maned mare flew down from a cloud and landed in front of Fusion Flair. She looked at Flair and winked as she introduced herself. “I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in all of Equestria. And who might you be cutie?”
No one noticed when Fusion Flair’s eyes glowed again as she cast a spell so that they could understand her. After the spell took over she said, “I’m faster than you.”
“Oh yeah, race you to the new store at the edge of town,” Rainbow said with a cocky tone as she took a ready stance next to Flair.
“You are on I hope you like the few of my flank as that is all you will see,” Flair said as she too took the ready position.
Spike raised an arm and shouted “Go!” as the two mares took flight leaving a pair of trails, one of flames and the other a rainbow. The two where about half way there when Flair noticed an cone of air forming around her as she was pulling ahead of Rainbow, just as Rainbow saw this Flair broke the sound barrier causing a flash of fire to appear where the barrier broke and a trail of flames behind the now blazing filly.
As Fusion Flair approached Siren’s Song she started to slow down, but her momentum was too much and she nearly crashed into the store’s front window until a wall of water appeared to catch her just then did the boom from breaking the sound barrier hit the store breaking the window and knocking the instruments from the wall. When Rainbow Dash caught up she saw that Flair had beaten her and started to become angered when Flair came up to her and gave her a peck on the cheek and said, “Told you I was faster. And the name’s Fusion Flair.” With that Flair strutted off into the store to talk to Frost Paw about the potion.
Frost looked up from trying to clean the store and saw that Flair was glaring at him. “What happened to you to turn you into a filly?” he tried to ask but could not help laughing at the sight of his sibling as a young female. When he started to laugh Flair glared at him all the more as a fire ball formed in front of her and shot it at her brother hitting him in the snout. “That was uncalled for,” Frost said without mirth as he wiped the soot from his face. “What do you want so much that you would nearly destroy my shop to get to me?”
“I want to know why you gave me a potion that turned me into a female and why you had Rarity make me a dress,” the irritated dragon pony nearly screamed in Frost Paw’s face shocking Rainbow who just walked in still shocked that the new pony kissed her.
Rainbow looked at Flair in shock at seeing her yell at the prince of the lands to the north. Rainbow walked up to the two and stood between them and said, “I don’t know what is going on, but you need to calm down Flair. That fox is a prince. Frost Paw sighed and explained who what he did to his sibling making Rainbow look at Flair again with wide eyes. “I would like to apologize for causing you trouble little sister but it is in my nature to prank someone on occasion and you just happened to be available besides you already had this side I just brought it out. So what brings you to my humble shop Miss Dash other than my sister?” he asked the stunned mare. “You may want to close your mouth you before you catch flies in it.”
Rainbow shook her head to clear it before replying, “I was on my way to pick up the now record I had ordered last week, is it in?”
“Just a moment and I can get it for you,” Frost said as he walked into the back and returned moments later with a record floating in front of him that had ‘Katy Parry’ on the middle. “Here it is, that will be ten bits please.” Just as Rainbow was paying the rest of the mane six arrived at the store to see who beat their friend in a race. “Hello ladies, how my I help you?” Frost asked them.
Twilight, who had just got the zipper off of herself, answered, “We just wanted to see who beat Dash in a race. The fiery trail led here so we followed it. Turns out it was your sister. I didn’t even know you had other siblings Frost, does princess Celestia know about her?”
Flair looked at Twilight as her eyes flashed and a bucket of bright pink paint fell on Twilight’s head coloring her mane pink. Seeing the change in hair color made Rarity gasp, Rainbow fall out of the air laughing, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack also started to laugh, and Fluttershy hid behind Frost Paw in fear from Fusion Flair. They heard laugh from mid air, looking up Frost Paw saw his father rolling around on a cloud trying not to fall off. “Dad what are you doing here? I thought you would still be in the homeland,” Frost said alerting everyone to Discord’s presence.
Twilight looked at who Frost Paw was talking to and was shocked to see Discord freed from stone. “Discord how did you get free?” she asked while taking a fighting stance so if he decided to attack she would not be caught unaware.
Suddenly a flash of light signaled that a pony casted a teleportation spell blinded everyone in the store as Celestia appeared causing almost all of the ponies to bow, the only ones to not bow were not ponies to begin with meaning Fusion Flair, Frost Paw, Robinton, and Discord. “I let him out on ‘good behavior’ as his sons wanted to try to get him to help save their home lands. He was not always the he was over one thousand years ago.” Celestia looked at Frost Paw with a queer gleam in her eyes and whispered, “So how was your night with Lulu, Frost?”
This caused Frost to let out a sigh as he looked at Flair and replied, “It was ok until the storm got very bad. Then Flair came in and ruined the mood. I told you to have this storm today when it would not have gotten so out of paw.”
Celestia chuckled at that, “It looks like you were right, again, about the weather at night. Sorry that it ruined you night. That reminds me, Rainbow Dash you were in charge of that storm so why didn’t you look after it?”
Rainbow blushed a bright red and Applejack started chocking on air. “Well you see princess…I kind of lost track of time and fell asleep,” Rainbow explained slightly embarrassed at being caught not doing her duties.
Frost saw that his friends were embarrassed and spoke up, “I asked Rainbow to help me with a pet project that took most of the day after I left Canterlot so you will have to forgive her. I should have gone out to quell the storm but Flair needed me to help him sleep.”
Rainbow looked at Frost in shock at hearing that Fusion Flair was a colt. “You mean the Flair is a colt and not a filly?” When Frost nodded she looked about to fly out of the store when Discord spoke up.
“Fusion Flair is part male, part female so you could say he is a she, and she is a he. It may be confusing but you will get used to it,” Discord said with a chuckle as he dodged a fire ball.
Flair growled at her father as she threw more fire balls, “I will get you old man!”
Discord stopped laughing when Flair called him an old man and glared at her and grabbed his youngest child and bent her over his knee when a flash of light came from Flair as the potion wore off, just as Discord was about to spank Fusion he farted fire burning Discords hand and ran off towards where Luna was. “Buck that hurt, what did you feed him Frost?” Discord yelled as he tried to cool off his paw.
Frost Paw walked over to his father to heal the burnt paw. “It might have been the potion I gave him as a prank or it could have just been gas; he is part dragon,” Frost thought out loud.
Celestia looked at Twilight and started to laugh at seeing her student’s mane died a brighter pink than Pinkie’s coat. “What happened to you dear? You look as if you fell into a vat of die,” Celestia was trying not to laugh at her poor student’s misfortune.
Frost Paw laughed at that. “Fusion Flair dumped a bucket of paint after Twilight started to annoy him by asking too many questions. That girl needs to learn self-restraint, I was about to shut her up by throwing her in a lake,” Frost explained and whispered into Celestia’s ear as he started to cry, “She made the water in the air cry out in pain. Water doesn’t cry in this world!! Make it stop Tia, make it stop.”
Celestia looked wide eyed at Frost Paw then at her student and back again and leaned in asking loud enough for Twilight to hear, “How do you think her parents will take it that she can make the very life water cry? Should we send her to the moon, or lock her in stone?”
Frost looked at Twilight who was now starting to sweat and look at them with fear in her eyes before saying, “I say lock her in stone and then send her to the moon.” The look on Twilight’s face was priceless and Frost Paw could not help but laugh. Hearing him laugh made the elements of harmony look at him as if they were going to beat the living hell out of him.
“What the hay is wrong with you, you’re demanding to send Twi to the moon as a stone statue!” the pink one nearly yelled as her mane deflated and her coat darkened.
“I was just joking, Pinkie, I would never do that to Twilight. You know as well as I that Celestia wouldn’t let me do anything to her pupil. Besides I am part fox so I am a prankster so what can I do but be myself,” Frost said trying to lighten the mood. “Now if you will excuse me I need to talk to a pony about a deal.” With that said Frost left the store and walked out into the town.
The ponies that were still in the store decided to introduce themselves to Fusion Flair. After that slightly traumatizing experience Flair went to get the dragon to pony translation book from Twilight and headed back to Frost Paw’s house to read it.
