Ice Crystal left the streets of Ponyville and made his way to the outer edges of the city. He saw a wide open plain and decided he'd go for a run. Instead of looking for a place in town to spend the night, the idea of sleeping under the stars seemed great. At full speed, he ran across the prarie and whinied. It felt good to be outside the confines of the city streets. He missed the wilderness of his mountain home already, and even though this wasn't the mountains, he felt more at home in the open country. After a good run, he found a cool brook and stopped to drink.

Dawn was approching soon and Willow meandered through the forest with a copper tea kettle in her mouth. She was humming a sweet tune. When she saw the stallion drinking at the stream she stopped humming and dropped the empty kettle acidentally. It made a loud crash. Willows eyes opened wider and she had trouble blinking. Usually no pony ever really came here. Recently, it seemed Ponyville started to boom. Maybe there are more ponies moving into the area like Jewel did. Willow was now very exided, and she stooped to pick up her kettle quickly.

Ice looked up quickly at the sound. He saw the white pony and turned toward her tossing his mane back.
"Hello" he said with a charming smile.
He was surprised to see another pony so far out at this time of night.
As she approached, he was able to see her in the moonlight. A very pretty pony...he thought to himself.

"Oh Hi!" Willow said blushing. She smiled at the stallion and her heart twitterd at bit. "I was just coming out here to get some water to make some tea." She picked up the kettle.
" Oh... and my name's Willow by the way!!", She looked up at the stallion as she filled her kettle. She smiled sweetly.

"Willow, nice to meet you. My name's Ice. Do you live way out here?" he asked.
He watched her as she filled her kettle. She seemed very outgoing and sweet.
"I couldn't find anyplace to stay in town, so I figured a night out here would be even better anyway."

"Yeah, I live in the middle of the prairie not too far from here." Willow stood up with her full kettle. "Are you new around here...Ice?" She didn't want to be too nosy but from what she understood, he seemed to need a place to stay. She flashed another brilliant smile.

"Yes, actually, I'm from the mountains far past Dream Valley. I just got to Ponyville today. It was a long and tiring journey. I'm glad it's finally over." he said.
"So you live in the prairie, huh?" he added. "You must love it. It's beautiful out here." As he spoke, he looked up at the early morning sky, still sprinkled with stars as the first hints of sunlight crept onto the horizon.

"Yeah its a really nice place." Willow had to admitt. she really loved it out here. She was glad to meet another nature fan. "Welcome to Ponyville! Will you be staying long?" Willow hoped so... she liked the idea of having more ponies come and enjoy the fabulous nature of Ponyville, especially a stallion.

"Thanks!" said Ice with a little grin. "Actually, I'm here to stay. I was thinking of looking for a place in town, but I'm really much more at home out here. It's not quite the mountains back home, but it's as close as I'm gonna get here in Ponyville." he said.
The sky was getting brighter quickly. The last bits of night were creeping away as light began to flood the sky.
Suddenly, Ice realized how hungry he was. "Any good clover fields nearby?" he asked as his stomach grumbled.

When willow heard he needed a place to stay her ears perked up and she reminded herself that there was barely any room left in her kleepa. Willow thought, and said," You'll need a house or a place to stay.. Perhaps I could help you with that." Willow smiled. " Yeah, there's a clover field up the way a little further. The clovers are really sweet this time of year." She Pointed the direction with her hoof.

"I'd appreciate your help very much!" Ice replied, truly grateful. "I'll probably get started on something today. Got any ideas?"
He had never lived on such level ground before, and didn't really know what type of home he'd build.
"Care to join me for a clover breakfast?" he asked, turning in the direction she had pointed.

"I would love to join you for breakfast I'm starving!" Willow laughed as she picked up her kettle. She followed close behind Ice as he made his way to the feilds. She indeed was very hungry. "Yeah I built my own errr..home myself. I would enjoy very much helping you build a home. Of course it would be built with your help and specifications. "Where do you plan to live exactly? Theres the prairie,-which is where i live-the forest, and the grassy bluffs. Out further are mountains, but if you need to visit town and such I wouldnt suggest living there...its too far away. But if you ever need a nice vacation, the ponyvile mountains are the perfect place to go..its just beautiful up there." Willow blushed. She was talking too much, she didn't want to scare off a new nieghbor. She needed to take things slow. She was kinda nervous around this new face, and that was an odd feeling for her because she rarely ever was nervous and she usually didnt talk this much.

"I'm thinking the prarie would be perfect. Lots of open spaces, close enough to town, and nice neighbors," he said and gave her a wink.
He saw the clover in the distance looking lush & green. "C'mon" he said, and took off like a bolt.

Willow chased Ice laughing giddily. "I always love a good run!" Willow felt very exided that HE wanted to live on the prairie by her. Aww, he's so charming! Willow thought after the wink.

Ice liked that Willow was so carefree. She'd make a great... neighbor, he thought to himself.
They reached the clover patch quickly. She had no problem keeping up with him despite the fact that he was bigger.
"You're pretty quick!" he said, between bites.
"By the way, nice eyebrow ring" he grinned, raising an eyebrow.
