Hey everypony! What's up!?
So it's been quite awhile hasn't it!? Well here to give you all a short two, maybe three chapter story about a unicorn and her friends, I won't say much, I'll let the story do the talking, so without further ado…
Chapter 1: After so Long
Two unicorn friends trotted into the Arctic Patrol Office located in the Crystal Empire, feeling a little tired from the day as they shook their manes, feeling the warm inside of the office after being out in the cold.
"I could go for some hot cocoa now, what about you Fizzy?" One of the unicorns asked the other.
"Sure thing Glitter." The other answered with a smile as the one named Glitter Drops to be more precise when to heat up some of the hot chocolate while the other Fizzy, aka Tempest Shadow, went to settle down, only to notice something new in the office. "What's this?" Tempest said as there was an envelope, deciding to wait until Glitter came back to open it, which she did a few minutes later.
"Careful, still very hot." Glitter cautioned before noticing what her friend was having. "What's that?"
"I don't know, must have come when we were out." Tempest replied as Glitter put down the two cups in her hooves, Tempest taking one and letting the hot cup warm her hooves while Glitter opened up the envelope and reading the scroll contained within.
"It's from Spring Rain!" Glitter explained.
"Spring?" Tempest asked, feeling her hooves shake a little from the name.
"Yeah, he says he's going to be free for a week in a couple of days and he's coming here to visit for a little vacation." Glitter happy upon hearing the news, but Tempest…
"I haven't seen him since…" Tempest started, but Glitter knew what her friend was going to say.
I'm sure he'll be happy to see you too, it's been so long since you two saw each other." Glitter cheered her friend as she took her seat and then a sip of her cocoa.
Meanwhile Tempest put down her own cup and thought about their friend, a colt than, now a full grown stallion with his own life. Tempest thought about how Spring Rain looked now, what the light blue coated unicorn was like, how smart, tall, handsome… Tempest shook her head free of her thoughts as she had to hide a blush starting to form on her face, which luckily Glitter didn't notice.
"Oh it's going to be great to have the three of us together again for a week, we have so much to catch up on." Glitter continued as she was really looking froward to their friend's visit.
"Yeah… A lot…" Tempest sighed as she took a long sip of her drink, part of her dreading the moment she would meet her friend from long ago…
A couple days passed and Glitter and Tempest were at the Crystal Empire train station, waiting for the Friendship Express which was bringing their friend. Tempest kept tapping her hooves and shuffling about, feeling extremely nervous as despite the cold, there was sweat. Glitter of course was just happy as can be as the train eventually came into view, rolling to a stop as it arrived at its destination.
At first there was just steam swirling around, but it cleared up as the doors of the passengers cars opened, letting out ponies and other creatures as along them was a tall light blue unicorn stallion looking right and left as he found who he was looking for.
"Glitter!" The unicorn stallion shouted as Glitter came up to give him a hug.
"So glad you could come Spring." Glitter noted.
"Well, it's great to be here." The stallion replied as Tempest came up slowly, clearing her throat loudly to grab the two's attention.
"Hey there Spring Rain…" Tempest greeted, the blushing beginning to come back.
"Fizzy…" Spring Rain narrowing his eyes. "Is that really you?" The stallion began to smile as he and Glitter leg go of their hug to stand face to face with each other.
"Yes, it's been a long time…" Tempest noted, trying hard not to stare too much.
"Well, it's so great to see you, I didn't expect you were here too." Spring said happily as he went in for a hug, Tempest not exactly returning it, she was already feeling quite warm inside and wasn't feeling quite right. "Can't believe we're all back together as friends."
"Yeah… Friends…" Tempest commented as now Glitter took notice of how Tempest was, especially with Spring.
"Why don't we take you to your hotel you'll be staying at during your visit, you must be tired from your trip here." Glitter pointed out.
"Now that you mention it, I could go for a nice rest, want to feel fresh when we all spend time together during my vacation here." Spring agreed as the three friends trotted through the Crystal Empire, eventually coming to the hotel where Spring would be staying.
The three friends said their goodbyes to each other for the day before Glitter and Tempest returned to the patrol office where they stayed. At first they trotted in silence before Glitter started a conversation.
"So… Spring…" Glitter began.
"Yeah, what about him?" Tempest caught off guard.
"He looked really happy to see you." Glitter pointed out.
"Yeah, he was…" Tempest hated to agree as she was afraid of where this conversation was going…
"And you looked also happy seeing him…" Glitter said as Tempest began to realize what Glitter was getting at…
"Oh no…" Tempest saying quickly. "We're just friends… You know like how you and Spring are…" Tempest defending herself as she began to trot a little faster. "Lets just get to the office." Tempest ending the conversation as Glitter just rolled her eyes and followed her friend to their office.
Once there, Glitter began to think of an idea on how to get Tempest and Spring alone together, so they could talk to each other and admit what they felt. For while Tempest hid her feelings, Glitter knew Spring also harbored something for Tempest and well Glitter was determined to bring those feelings out.
Meanwhile as night fell and Glitter turned in for the night, Tempest was in her own room, laying on her bed as she couldn't quite sleep, her thoughts completely on Spring Rain. Seeing him after all these years, fully grown up, woke up these new feelings Tempest was having, she could no longer think of Spring as just a friend, but something more…
And I'll leave it there for next time!
I hope you enjoyed and looking froward to how Tempest will handle herself!
Until than… See everypony later!
