A new pony had just stepped hoof into Ponyville. To him, it was warm, as he was from a very snowy place indeed. A stranger to this town, he was eager to make friends, which he found ironic, seeing as he was quite a loner by nature. But thats how things go, 'Cane, he told himself, things change...ponies change...
He looked down at the faithful companion at his heel. He could always count on Sooner to be there for him. He'd turn around and their his dog would be. Unlike Minty, though. She'd often be drunk, or just plain missing. Where was she, anyway? He'd travelled down from his home to visit her and she wasnt there.
Just like her, he thought. He began to stroll over to the fountain, and on his way he saw ruins of buildings. Hearing the ponies speak of arson, he decided to keep his powers secret...

(Cont from loft 16)
As Snowflake wandered through ponyville, she stopped as she saw a white pony standing quite a distance away.
Is he..? she thought. I know him from....somewhere...maybe it's all in my head. She shook the thought out of her head. Ponyville was all new to her, since she had just moved from the snowy mountans, but somehow she still felt as if she'd known him.

Candy Cane looked over at Snowflake. Sooner did, too, and as soon as he saw the blue mare, his tail started to wag and he was running across and over to her.
"No-Sooner-stay!" yelled Candy Cane, galloping at top speed after his spaniel.
He felt like he knew Snowflake, too. He didnt know where, or how, but he did.
Sooner bounced up onto Snowflake, almost knocking her down. He began to lick her face, still wagging his tail and very happy.
"Sooner!" groaned Candy Cane, rolling his eyes, "I'm sorry, miss, this dog needs some manners knocked into him. Badly."

"That's alright, he's quite cute." she said whipping the slobber of her face with her hoof.
She looked at his symbol for a moment, then it hit her. Hey, I do know him!
"Excuse me, but did you live in the snowy mountains up north? Near a small village?" She had to doubble cheack before saying anything.

Candy Cane nodded, "Oh yes..." then he began to think, too...
I definetly remember her from somewhere...
Looking at her symbol, her hair, her eyes and her body colour, he slowly began to realise that he wasnt just thinking.
He had to know her!

"Oh yes! Now I remember, you were the young stallion I used to always see playing with his dog in the snow when we were younger. I used to live in the cave on the cliff overlooking the village." she said smiling.

Cane began to laugh, "Yes...I remember! So what've you been up to these days? Meet that 'someone special' yet? What brings you to Ponyville?"
Cane was bursting with questions. It was strange to meet someone he knew this far away from home. Especially when they hadnt met since they were youngsters.

"No, I haven't met anyone yet. Your the founth pony I've talked to since I got here. I arrived this morning from the mountains. I guess I just needed to get away from all the icolation of living up there, you know? Anyway it's great to see you again!" she stopped and tried to remember what she was looking for....."I was wondering, do you know anywhere I can stay around here? I tried loft 16 but they're closed." She then looked down at sooner and scratched behind his ear.

"No, I'm afraid I have no idea," Cane replied, but looking up he added, "Maybe the Castle, but I couldnt really be sure."
Shuddering, he looked around, "Wonder what happened here..." he said quietly.

Snowflake looked at the ponies standing around the Ponyville sign. A puddle of blood was on the ground. Snowflake looked the other way but said nothing. Her expression didn't change either. "Maybe we should go somewhere else." she suggested.
She did not want to see anything remotley related to murder on her first day at Ponyville. Although she's learned to accept it.

Cane nodded in agreement.
"Geez, I dunno what I expected, coming here, but this definetly wasnt it." Cane replied, "I mean, blood...The way it was described to me, I expected happy, peaceful ponies."

"Yeah" she said, turning to head towards the local shops. "C'mon, lets go." she said not looking back. She wasn't shure where they would go but she knew she didnt want to stick around near the dead pony.

"Yeah," Cane agreed, ushering Snowflake and Sooner away and manuvering his body so to block the dreadful sight of...(uh...I forget...  ) from the mare and dog. Chancing one last glance at the hanging mare, his face softened to pity for her, "I hope her death was painless," he sighed quietly, "And I hope she can rest in peace, and her family and friends are ok." Sooner whined slightly, almost as though sensing the gloom in the air. Cane tried to take their moods off the body, "Any good shops around here?" |

Snowflake closed her eyes as she walked and said a silent prayer for the dead pony. Then she turned to Cane. "I dunno. I was in the middle of exploring when I ran into you. " She sniffed the air. "But something smelled good coming from that street ahead. She was smelling the baked goods from the Cotton Candy Cafe.

"Your right," replied Cane, also sniffing ahead, "Maybe we should go there?"
