"So you found another brony?" Peter asked as he warmed himself next to the fire.
I nodded, "Eeyep."
[Why does everyone copy Big Mac?]
I chuckled and looked around me. We was all in the cozy lobby, sitting on throw pillows around the fire. Each couple shared a pillow and was wrapped in each other's hooves.
Zorrow sat alone and chuckled, "I hope we don't find to many bronies."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
We then began to chat about general things and what we was going to do tomorrow on the slopes.
"Hey everyone, Lance told me to come. I brought my friend." Said a voice behind us all.
We all turned to see Shadow Breeze, and a olive green female Pegasus.
I smiled, "Hey Shadow, who's your friend?"
She smiled and walked up to me and extended a hoof, "I'm Vinetion, but you can call me Vine if you want."
Seth smiled smugly and stood up and made his way to her, "Well hey there pretty lady. I must say, you are looking smoking hot today."
Vinetion rolled her eyes and stomped her hoof.
A vine popped out of the ground and wrapped around Seth's back leg and lifted him up into the air.
"What the hell!" He said as he began to thrash about.
Shadow Breeze chuckled as he made his way over to us, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Vine here can control plants."
We all looked at him in disbelief, and I said, "What? How is that possible?"
She shrugged, "Ever since I arrived here in Equestria, I've had this power."
My eyes widened, "Wait, your a brony?!"
She chuckled and shook her head slightly, "Pegasister."
I nodded and gave a slight aha, "Well, its good to meet a female brony for once."
She looked at our group, "You mean you haven't even meet one single female brony?!"
Peter shrugged, "Nope, just us men."
I looked over at Seth, who's face was turning red from being held up side down, "Huh, could you drop him before he has brain damage."
Vinetion looked at him and grinned, "Of course." She stomped her hoof, causing the vine to go back into the ground, which in turn caused Seth to fall face first on the ground.
Zorrow winced, "Owww, that had to hurt."
I let out a small laugh and looked over to Shadow, "So, why are you two still here? I mean, come on, you know you want to check out Ponyville."
Vinetion answered for him, "Well, when we ran into each other a few months ago, we had both been here at this Ski Resort the whole time. He takes care of the kids and animals, and I take care of the forest."
<Sounds legit.>
Shadow nodded, "In truth, I like it here to much to leave. I mean, of course I would like to go to Ponyville and see..." His voice trailed off as his gaze stooped on a pony. Fluttershy.
Fluttershy began to shift uneasily under his gaze.
Shadow quickly looked away and gave a small laugh, "Sorry about that, I just remembered something." He then turned and ran out of the room.
I looked at Vinetion, "What was that about?"
She chuckled, "I'll tell you later." She then looked at the whole group, "I see everyone's paired up, and you've already gotten my favorite ponies. Well damn."
[Wait.... There's only female ponies here that she would know about. Does that mean shes...]
<Break, don't assume that of people you just met. She could mean the bronies...>
[Nah, I think she means the mare's.]
{Both of you, shut the hell up!}
Twilight looked at her confused and then at the group, "What do you mean? You haven't met any of the bronies before, how would you have a favorite?"
I put my hoof on her mouth and whispered, "I'll tell you later, okay Twi?"
She nodded and whispered back, "Okay."
I looked back at Vinetion, who was looking at me and Twilight with a amused face.
Peter rubbed his chin, "AHA! I know what she means now! She means..."
*BAM*
He held a hoof to his head, and picked up the book that had just hit him, "Lance, what was that for!"
I smiled, "Quiet you."
He rolled his eyes and laid his head down. Rarity put her hooves over his neck and began to whisper in his ear. He seemed to cheer up instantly.
Vinetion only chuckled at our actions to what she said.
Luna rubbed her chin confused, "I am confused, can you tell me what you mean by..."
"LANCE! IF YOU THROW THAT BOOK, I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER!" Frederic yelled out at me.
I smiled sheepishly and slowly put the book down that I was about to throw at Luna.
Luna looked between us and sighed, "Uhhh, okay then. As I was saying, can you tell us what you mean by that we've all got your favorite ponies? I didn't know you knew any of the bronies."
Vinetion looked to be holding back laughter, "I'll tell you all in due time. But tonight, I just want to get to know all of you."
Luna shrugged, "We will do this. Lets get to talking about our lives."
Everyone laughed at her and we all began to get to know each other a little better.
That night, Drax and Dali's room
Drax sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Dali who was looking out the window at the night sky. He looked her over and sighed, "So beautiful." He whispered under his breath.
He had liked her ever since Lance had brought him over to her house. It was love at first sight for him, and that has never happened before. He has never even thought about dating his whole life, but for some reason, he wants to be with her. To hold her and keep her safe. He knew he couldn't do that, he couldn't even talk to her or touch her because of her culture.
He rubbed his face and stood, "Dali?"
She turned and to his surprise, answered, "Yes?"
He gulped, he hadn't expected her to respond, "Uhhh... ummmm.... How are you?" He instantly wanted to facehoof.
She smiled, which caused Drax to blush deeply, "I'm doing good. Its cold here, but its bearable."
Drax hastily picked up a blanket, "Do you want a blanket?"
She continued to smile, "That would be nice, thank you."
Drax walked over and threw the blanket over her and backed away, not wanting to scare her.
Dali pulled the blanket around her and sat down on her haunches, "Thank you Drax."
He put on his best smile, "Your welcome Dali, I would do anything for you." He then instantly twisted around and slammed his hoof into his face, causing a searing pain to flare up in his right eye.
Dali looked at him confused, "What is wrong?"
Drax turned around and chuckled the best he could, "Oh nothing, I'm just kinda... tired."
Dali looked at him worriedly, "Why is your eye swollen? It was fine a while ago."
Drax hung his head, "I hit myself..."
She stood up and looked even more confused, "Why would you do that?"
"I'm just stupid is all, I say the wrong things at the wrong time." Drax said as he rubbed his hoof across his face, whipping away tears.
Suddenly, something ran into him and wrapped around his neck. He was taken back at what just happened.
Dali, who would never allow anypony touch her, was now hugging Drax.
"Don't say that, your a good stallion." She said while she broke the hug.
Drax had the larges blush and smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Something began to slam into the wall repeatedly.
They looked at the wall and listened as it was hit again and again.
Dali cocked her head, "What is that?"
Drax chuckled, "It sounds like Peter and Rarity are bucking apples. I wish they wouldn't be so loud though."
Dali blushed, a first, "Bucking apples? Oh my..."
Drax smiled, "Don't worry about it, they'll be done soon. Hopefully." He then made his way for the door, "In the mean time, how would you like to go grab a cup of coco?"
She smiled and began to follow him, "I would love a cup of coco."
Meanwhile, in Peter and Rarity's room
"Peter! Stop it!" Rarity screamed out.
"Never! I'm enjoying myself to much to stop!" Peter screamed out as he began to breath heavily.
"But Peter, your being to rough!" Rarity whined.
"To rough? You haven't seen rough my love!" He yelled out as the bed began to shake more violently.
"Peter, please stop! Your going to break the bed!"
Peter let out a loud yell and collapsed on the bed, "There I stopped, happy?"
Rarity shook her head, "That wasn't that fun."
Peter looked at her and cocked his head, "What? I'm that bad?"
She nodded, "I'm afraid so."
Peter let out a groan, "Damn, and I thought I was the best at jumping on beds!"
Rarity stood up from the chair she had been sitting in while she watched Peter jump on the bed, "My little sister broke her bed, so she beat you."
Peter hung his head, "Well shit..."
The next day, 1:23 PM, at the slopes
I looked at the billboard with a smile on my face. I was reading a announcement about a slope run for advanced skiers. I was seriously thinking about doing it. I'm pretty sure it was because of Break.
[I have nothing to do with this!]
<I do...>
I rolled my eyes and looked in the distance, towards the larges and highest slope that is here. Damn, that's far away.
I sighed and began the long journey to the advanced skiers slope.
Four hours of hard walking later.
I finally pulled made it to the top and collapsed. That was the longest walk and climb of my life!
[Wimp.]
I took a deep breath and stood, pulling my face cover back over my face.
I really don't see the point in this anymore. You climb for hours to ski and it only last a few minutes. A few hours hour hard climbing does not equal five minutes of enjoyment.
As I began to make my way to the starting point, I heard somepony screaming my name.
When I turned, Peter slammed into me, making us roll down the slope a few yards. Once we stopped I stood and looked at him, "How did you get up here so fast?"
He turned and pointed to a lift, "They have those things you know."
I facehoofed, I could have used one of those and turned this four hour trip into a few minutes. Damn it!
Peter than began to look happy and nervous.
I looked at him, "What is it Peter? Why did you tackle me?"
He walked over to me and smiled nervously, "Okay dude, don't over react."
I nodded, "I won't over react."
He took a deep breath, "Twilight's having the baby, right now."
My eyes widened and my breathing began to quicken and I yelled out, "WHAT?!"
Peter held up a hoof, "Its okay, she went into labor a hour ago."
"I'M MISSING IT!" I screamed out.
<Lance, calm down.>
I grabbed Peter by the shoulders and began to yell at the top of my lungs, "SHE'S HAVING THE BABY! AND I'M MISSING IT!"
Suddenly, a loud roaring like sound came from farther up the mountain.
We looked towards the sound and our mouths hung open in shock.
[Oh, way to go Lance! You caused a fucking avalanche!]
The snow was coming towards us like a wave.
I looked at Peter, who was glaring at me with anger in his eyes.
I smiled weakly, "Sorry..." I pulled him close and yelled out, "Hold on! This is gonna be a bumpy ride!"
The snow crashed into us, carrying us down the mountain.
