The Snowy Skies Chapter 1: The falling snow.
It was the final day of Autumn, the sun was setting faster then normal as the ponies of ponyville prepared for the cold snow, doors and windows shut tight, fireplaces lit and cozy blankets. All but one pony was out as the snow was starting to fall, returning from a errand from cloudsdale was Rainbow dash, shivering as she soared in the night sky.
"Of all the days to run an errand, when I could be at home in my bed asleep and not freezing my flank off."
The light blue pony grumbled as she flew against the falling snow. The snow clouds were dark and thick, making it to hard to see without the moon light.
Rainbow dash soared on, finally reaching the skies of ponyville and giving a sigh of relief. Most of the ground was already covered in white snow and many lights were already off.
"Finally I'm home!"
Rainbow dash would smile but before she could go down for a land suddenly a shadow figure stormed past at at incredible speed, making her stop in her tracks. She couldn't believe that something was going as fast as her. She wanted to find out who or what but she also wanted to prove that nobody fastest then herself in all of Equestria.
"Hey! Come back here!"
Rainbow dash would soon start to fly against the falling snow and cold wind, chasing the figure but as she got closer it started trying to throw her off but that didn't stop Rainbow dash as she followed right behind it trail, doing everything that it did."Your not going to get away from me Buddy! I'm the fastest pony in all of Equestria!"
The figure changed direction once again and flew up above the cloud line with rainbow dash following closely behind."I got ya now!"she would break through the cloud and came to a full stop. The Shadowy figure was gone, disappeared without a trace as she looked around."Hey! stop hiding or are you a chicken!"she announced as something soon broke thought the cloud, soaring above the pale moonlight.
Rainbow dash jaw dropped as she stood frozen at the figure, a faintly glowing pegasus with glowing white eyes and massive glowing wings. Rainbow dash gave a loud shriek and disappeared, going faster then before, down to the ground and towards her house, scared out of her wit as she zoomed inside, locked all the door's and windows and flew right into bed, quivering.
The next day now covered all over ponyville, It was alittle thicker then usual but didn't slow down the daily activites of the ponies and colts of the down. meanwhile at the Library, Twilight was telling her friends about a amazing find about star constellations as Rainbow dash flew though the window, still shivering as everyone turned to her."Hey Rainbow dash, why are you shaking? Are you cold?"Twilight asked as Rainbow dash shook her head."Girls, you wouldn't believe what I saw last night. There I, was flying home from cloudsdale and suddenly something flew by me, I chased it and then when I finally caught up I saw...I... saw..."she shuttered a bit as everyone looked at her."
"A...?"Applejack spoke, looking at her as Pinkiepie jumped in.
"Oh oh! Where playing a guessing game? A pie? a magical lamp with a genie in it? Oh OH! I know, You saw a flying goat!" Pinkiepie continued as Rainbow dash finally told them."A ghost!"she yelled out as all the girls started at them and gave a little giggle."
"A ghost? Really?"asked Twilight as Spike was hiding behind her, quivering at the mention of the word."D-did she say ghost?"the purple dragon sputtered as Applejack grinned." Aww Is Rainbow dash scared of ghosties?"she mocked as Rainbow dash stared at her."I I'm not scared of ghosts!"she quickly defended herself.
"A ghost, how dull.. come on Rainbow dash, you know ghost's ain't real."Spoke rarity as Twilight had already gotten a book on myths and legends.
"Well We don't know that for sure Rarity, there nothing to prove that they exist, What did this ghost look like?"she answered as Rainbow dash described it in great detail as Twilight looked though her book but before she could make her answer pinkie pie spoke."Hey that sounds like the Ghostie Jack frost!" as all the other ponies look at her, blinking.
"Umm...Who's Jack frost Pinkie?" Twilight asked as now futtershy hiding behind spike."I-I don't think I wanna know?"she spoke softly as Pinkie pie grinned a bit, shutting off the lights and closing the curtains, grabbing a flash light.
"Jack frost is the soul of a lost pony, flying home one winter night but before he could make it back to ponyville, a snow storm hit, but not just any snow storm, a massive wall of snow. The pony got lost and flew around in circles..disappearing into the night sky... Some say, He appears on the last night before winter, trying to find his way home and some have even said if you stare into his eyes, you will lose your soul woo"Said pinkie pie as she shined the light under her, giving her a scare face while making ghost noises which send Spike and fluttershy gave a little scream before Twilight turned on the lights.
"That just a bunch of hokey pokey, There no such things as ghosts. Err Right Twilight?"Applejack stutter a bit as she was now beginning to believe as Twilight sighs."I highly doubt it was a ghost. Beside it was late, your eyes could of been playing tricks on you Rainbow Dash."Said twilight as Rarity made her comment.
"If it was a ghost, it sounded horrible fashioned..."Said Rarity as spike came forward, holding his stomaching as it growled.
"Well I think I go make some lun-."Spike was interrupted as he burped, making a letter appear from the green flames as he caught the letter.
"It's a letter from princess Celestia! Quickly read it spike."Spoke Twilight a bit worried about what the letter might maintain.
"Yea, yea Hold your horses."Spike joked as he untied the string and pulled open the letter as everyone listened closely."Dear my Fateful Student Twilight, I wrote this letter for you as I need you to go on a mission, Something wrong with the snow clouds this winter as the snow clouds are darker then usual and can not be moved at all, and I fear something bad might happen if it is left uncheck. So I humble request that you and your friends, go to Snow Valley and seek out the cause of theses unmovable clouds. I have 6 train tickets enclosed in this letter. I wish you the best of luck. From princess Celestia."Finished spike as he took a deep breath."Well that's all of it."said spike as he rolled up the letter.
"Snow valley? That's way up north... Well princess Celestia trusted us with his task, So we have to go. Beside it will take us off this silly ghost story"Said Twilight as she looked at her Friends.
"Well if were going up north, I better get the right fashion style."Smiled Rarity as she looked at the others.
"Oh yes! We get to have hot cocoa, go skiing, build an igloo and even have snow cake!"Scream pinkie pie as she jumped up in down with excitement
"Well Shoot, I have nothing better to do until spring. So count me in!"smiled Applejack.
"W-Well... I go, since I've meaning to check out the winter wildlife, If that's ok."Spoke fluttershy with her soft voice.
"Yea and with Spike along, He can kept us nice and warm."Grinned Rainbow dash as she nudged spike, as he had an annoyed looked across his face.
"I'm not your personal heater Rainbow dash."he groaned softly as Twlight nodded.
"Then it's Settle, everyone get your things packed and we meet at the ponyville Train station at 6am sharp!"she Twlight as all her friends nodded in agreeing, after that they all home to get backed but rainbow dash couldn't shake the image of the ghost from her mind as she packed. That Night a heavy snow storm hit, like the night before. What was it she saw? What is wrong with the snow clouds? Where will the adventure lead?
