'Tis the season to be jolly!

 

All over Equestria snow is falling upon the ground, fires are crackling in the spirit of the season, snowflakes are twinkling in the treetops and ponies are preparing for Hearth's Warming Day. Gifts are being bought and wrapped, Hearth's Warming trees are being decorated in homes and weather ponies are preparing clouds for a snowy winter. 

 

Ponyville citizens, the most cheerful and warm-hearted of all are certainly the most enthusiastic about the coming holiday. With winter set up, they wait for the day when the bell will be tolled to signal the start of Hearth's Warming Day. Of course, you are one of these ponies but with most of your preparations done, you'll be spending your time sipping hot chocolate in front of the fire and playing snowball fights.

 

Have fun!

 

Rules

1. Nothing 13+. This applies to horror and sexual themes.

2. Character development is encouraged!

3. No need to apply. Just jump in with any OC, but introduce them sufficiently in your first post.

4. Your OC lives in Ponyville.

5. No mane six characters will be present.

6. Have fun! It's Hearth's Warming Day soon, after all.

7. No overly-grumpy ponies. If your OC is grumpy, try and make them a little bit cheerful.

Potipah sat by her fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate between her hooves. Pink and white marshmallows bobbed in the hazel-coloured liquid, melting slowly as a pillar of warm air rose from the mouth of the mug. She brought the rim of the mug up to her lips with her creamy white hooves, then peered fondly over at her Hearth's Warming tree that was adorned with baubles, strings of coloured lights and an angel that crowned its highest point. The warm liquid spilled down her throat, warming her from within and welcoming her to the season.

 

It was her first Hearth's Warming away from home. She had lived in Trottingham most of her life, but now, being 20, had felt it appropriate to move away and start a new life. Ponyville, being a quiet town, seemed and had so far proved to be the perfect destination. She had already made new friends and acquaintances, and had even been lucky enough to find work in the quirky Sofas and Quills shop as a quill-advisor. It wasn't a grand sum of money that she earned, but it was enough for a single pony to get by.

 

She tipped the mug to her mouth once again and took a long drink, then set the hot chocolate down on the table. With her pale-green magic, she levitated a marshmallow then quickly dropped it into her mouth. It was gooey, sweet and stuck to her teeth as she chewed. She finished her hot chocolate, then put out the fire, intending to go outside to sightsee. Ponyville was beautiful in winter, yellow thatched roofs peeking through beneath white, fluffy blankets of snow. It was also entertaining to watch the pegasus weather-ponies going about their business, pushing clouds together to create more snow.

 

Potipah levitated her pale green scarf off of its hanger, wrapping it around her neck and pulling out her brown and beige curly hair from beneath it. She then put on her brown boots and opened her front door, then walked out into snow-covered Ponyville.

The windowpanes were hazy in the warm shop, concealing the white flakes that floated down lazily outside. Putting a hoof to the window, a red pony wiped the moisture away slowly, craning his neck to look both directions outside. He saw nopony outside, but there were fresh tracks in the snow where the paths were. Some others must have ventured outside recently, he speculated as he turned around to the burning fire he had created. It crackled softly, belching silvery smoke from the chimney.

 

He sat staring into the fire for a few minutes before a sudden urge came over him to get something to eat. Hopping up, he made his way over to the refrigerator and flung it open. Rooting around inside found nothing appealing to him, but cemented his desire to get something to eat. He also noticed that he was out of a few other amenities. Ack, he thought as he scratched his head, I gotta go out? With a sigh he grabbed a heavy coat and made his way downstairs to his shop, putting on his coat as he descended the steps.

 

The wind bit him sourly while he shut the door. The ice and deep snow around his shop was cold to his legs, but manageable. He figured he could make it to the store or restaurant eventually, but a quick glance up at the pegasi put a frown on his face. They're working too hard, take a break already.

 

With a shiver, he set off towards the center of town with a warm plate of sweet grain and molasses in mind.

Black Widow had set some water on her stove to boil, as she had planned to make some hot chocolate for herself on this cold day. She had gotten a crackling fire going with her magic, so her house wasn't as bitterly cold as it was in the morning. Her wife was elsewhere, probably at a tailoring convention or something similar. Their adopted son had went off somewhere with his marefriend, so Black Widow was left alone to tend to the home. 

 

The kettle on the oven began whistling, so Black Widow got up and took it off of it's red-hot boiler. She had poured it into a mug, which was about a quarter-filled with a brown powder. She stirred it together with a spoon and was soon left with a steaming cup of hot cocoa. In an attempt to cool it off, she opened the door to go outside-

 

Which resulted in her getting a face full of snow from a wayward snowball.

 

'Probably just some foals having a snowball fight. I'll give them a break. It is Hearth's Warming Eve season, after all.' She thought, smiling as she sipped at her hot cocoa, despite the snow still covering her face. It was going to be a good day, and she could tell.

((Aww, this is making me feel all fuzzy. Hurrah for winter.))

 

The crisp snow crackled beneath Potipah's boots as she ambled around Ponyville, her scarf being blown about softly by the icy winter winds. Her favourite season had always been winter, with its snow and relaxation. In Trottingham they had had snowpony-building competitions in groups when in school, and she and her family had since made it tradition to build extravagant snowponies each year. She looked down to the ground for a moment, pondering who she would build snowponies with now. Thinking it fickle to worry about such petty things, she again looked up to the tops of houses and trees.

 

One of her favourite things was, undoubtedly, the formation of snow upon the bare branches of trees in winter. It adorned the branches like lights on a Hearth's Warming tree, a blanket for the tree to rest under while it hibernated for the winter. If she were a creative pony, there would be no doubt that she would spend all her time in winter sat outside under a warm, fluffy blanket sipping hot chocolate and drawing or painting the branches of trees. She would use a thin brush for the dark branches, then a thicker one to daub the white paint upon them plentifully.

 

A snowball hit the ground in front of her, making her stop and look to the place it had been thrown from. A small, pink-coated earth pony looked over a wall of snow in shock, squeaked a quick apology, then ducked back under to make more snowballs. Figuring she ought to get out of firing range, Potipah pressed on through the gently-falling snow.

((Wow, I got really distracted there. That took a couple hours longer than I planned xD))

 

The red pony struggled through the snow. His hoofprints trailed back to his place, though he hadn't made it all that far it felt much farther. The snow still fell, How do they stand it, so far up there with all that wind? The ponies worked happily above, squeezing those little flakes of cold goodness down from the sky. They probably make this wind too, with all that flapping. This is ridiculous, he thought as he shivered a bit more, looking down at his hooves as he carefully made his way through town.

 

A giggle followed by a squeal brought his view up quickly, revealing nothing more than one foal with a rather large face-full of snow screaming as the other foal laughed uncontrollably. Gah, I miss that... I'd love to throw a snowball again, but... what's stopping me? Well, I guess nothing apart from the fact that... I'm 21. And apparently that's not acceptable. Or maybe I just think it isn't. Or maybe it isn't... Or... Ugh... Shaddup.

 

He closed one eye and squinted the other to keep the cold wind from drying his eyes, shielding the rest of his face with his front leg as a gust blew fine snow up from the ground and into his face. The foals had run around the corner out of view. He could faintly hear them in a scrap somewhere ahead, but the wind howled in his ears. Pulling his guarding hoof away for a moment, he laid his ears back and tried to tighten his coat. The wind died down a bit, reminding him that it was just wind blowing between the houses and not some hurricane. So stupid, it's not even that ba-

 

He slipped and fell into the snow with a yelp as he collided with something warm. His body's silhouette was pressed into the snow where he had landed with an oof! Propping himself up in the snow, he glanced over at what he had hit: another pony. "Oh, sorry! I... I wasn't paying attention. Are you alright?"

Potipah, entranced by her surroundings, stayed nearby the playing fillies and foals. Their laughs and the sound of snow hitting the ground - or another pony's face, in the case of one unfortunate foal who was wailing in frustration. She smiled at him as he looked up to her with watery eyes, then to rub the snow off his face with his ice-cold hooves and continue playing. She missed fooling about in the snow, but was possibly a little scared of being attacked by a flurry of snowballs.

 

With little time to react, she was punted in the rump by some other entity. She put one hoof in front of the other in an attempt to stabilise herself, but the momentum was too large and the cocoa-maned mare toppled over forwards to land face-first in a small pile of snow. With her rump in the air, she stayed there in shock for a moment, then spluttered and pulled her head out of the cold heap.

 

The culprit who had knocked her forwards apologised. "Just fine.." Potipah said, chuckling softly with her Trottingham accent clear in her voice. She shook her head to get the snow out of her mane. "What happened? I was zoned out."

 

((I'll let you decide if the two know each other or not.))

((They probably don't, iffen she just moved there.))

 

The red earth pony ran his hooves through his hair to remove the powdery snow from his head. Pulling the coat tighter, he scrambled to his feet, slipping about in the snow as he noticed the mare he had crashed into lying in the snow as well. "I don't know, I was just watching the foals and I guess I wasn't paying attention to... where I was going," he replied, holding out a hoof to help her up. "Sorry," he sighed, wiping the rest of the snow from his legs and coat.

"No, no, it's fine... Really, I'm no less clumsy than you are. Probably clumsier, actually." Potipah scrambled to her feet, then brushed off the majority of snow on her coat. "As much as I love winter, I can never find my balance in the snow." She rubbed the back of her neck, looking down at her hooves. Finally, she had a look at the pony who had bumped into her. His coat was red and he had no wings or horn: a red earth pony. Life must be so different without magic, she thought. The mare opened her mouth briefly, intending to start a conversation about this, but quickly realised this was a boring conversation starter so decided against it, choosing something else.

 

"What's your name? I'm Potipah." She extended a hoof.

Bronze Shine walked through the streets of Ponyville happily. His coat was glistening in the winter sun, and he was codify wrapped up in a scarf and three layers of secured blankets. His dark brown mane was ruffle da cross hid face, every so often blocking his vision. Upon his back he had three parcels each containing a present for one of his loved ones. Sadly, this was all great weight for him and at any second he could slip and the presents would be ruined. Bronze, a normally quiet and careless pony, was whistling and keeping his balance quite perfectly. His boots were a bright red, which he thought complimented his brown coat nicely (though he didn't have much fashion sense). He then turned, and went towards his festive home.

A few minutes later, he was by his blazing fire sipping large amounts of hot coco. As soon as he was finished, he placed it upon the coffee table and sat at his couch. He felt like he could doze off, but he knew he mustn't. Keep focused Bronze he told himself as he got up from he couch and went over to a table containing the parcelled presents! and wrapping paper. He quickly, but moderately neatly, wrapped the presents before putting neat little silver ribbons on top of them. He then made his way back out if his house, and towards the eastern part of Ponyville. There he saw some fillies and colts, playing in the snow. He smiled, and then sat done at a nearby bench before dozing off.

((That better?))

The pony watched the mare as she collected herself, brushing the snow from her coat. I know that feeling... All too well. He shook his head, reminding himself that he was in a conversation. "Tinker," he replied, meeting the hoof with his own. He ran the name through his mind for a second, "Wait, what? Say that... again? I don't think I caught that right." Putting a hoof to his face, he sighed, realizing he was being ignorant and stupid.

 

"So... what're you doing out in all this?"

The cream-coated mare shook the stallion's hoof."Nice name, so I suppose you do mechanics and things?" She smiled as she shook his hoof, then withdrew as he asked his question. "Potipah." She responded; "It's a weird name, I know. Just call me Po' if you like, it's what most ponies do."

 

"Well, I really just wanted to have a look around. It's my first winter here, Trottingham is gorgeous at this time of year and I figured it would be the same case for Ponyville." She looked about fondly at her surroundings. "Seems I was right. What're you doing out, then?"

Ally Harmony stepped outside of her house that she and her best friend, Electra shared, the snow crunching beneath her dark blue winter boots. Her friend had passed away from an illness not many months ago, and she was still hurting inside. She looked around, her breath coming up in mini steam clouds. She hadn't been in Ponyville for a few years, as she was travelling across Equestria to try and distract herself from the pain, but she had decided to visit her hometown just for the holidays. She wondered if she had any old school friends still in the town. Walking out of the front garden, she set off for the Ponyville graveyard, holding snowdrops to put on her best friend's grave.

 

As she walked, tiny, white flakes drifted down through the cold, winter air, which was gently blowing her dark blue scarf about. Ally had become a lot more closed in on herself after Electra had died, as she didn't know many other ponies. Most days she just sat at home reading a book. She was kind of awkward when it came to talking to ponies, anyway, so she only did when she had to. Other than that, Ally kept herself to herself. She had never felt more numb or lonely in her life, especially when this was her first Hearth's Warming alone.

"Yeah, among other things," he nodded, letting her continue. "Heh, gorgeous and treacherous are two different things, but I guess you could say it's nice," he added, kicking a bit of snow up into the air. The breeze caught it like a sail and sent it scattering away from them, the sun reflecting little bits of light off the flakes. "I've lived here all my life, and so far the pegasi've made quite a workout for theirselves, it's a lot thicker this year for whatever reason. I guess they just like it cold. Me, not so much," he said with a slight smile.

 

"Anyways, I was getting hungry so I decided to head out and grab a bite to eat, and maybe run by the store if they were open." Tinker paused, aware of the awkward silence that ensued. She was apparently rather new in town from what he had gathered, and probably didn't have any news or tidbits of information to give, but he wasn't the best with new ponies either.

 

"So, Trottingham? I don't think I've ever been there, what's it like?"

The train came to a full stop onto the station a white colored Batpony wearing a light brown trench coat and a hat, came out of the train. Grabbing a small suitcase he made his way out of the station and into the snow paths. Hmm.... Just as cold as Manehattan.... Less busy thought. This is perfect for my vacation The pony kept on walking through the snow seeing all different ponies going their own business for hearth´s warming eve. Certanly was beautiful to look at, but the white pony didn't have much time to appreciate the decoration, not at this time at least. He needed to make his way to the hotel was or was it a inn given the size of the town. He pondered for a bit on the question, shortly after he shook his head Let's go back on track it's getting cold and I'll hate to be lost here. The white pony kept on walking until he reached a part on the town where different shops and stores and cafes. A warm drink wouldn´t hurt.

 

 

the white pony sat on a table droped his hat on the side of his chair and made a signal for the waiter. After ordering some black coffee he opened his suitcase and grabbed today's newspaper.

"Oh, Trottingham's real nice." She started, smiling as she thought of home. "You must visit; everyone there's so charming and if you're interested in learning about Equestria's history, well, there's few better places than the Museum there. Simply fascinating, I'm quite interested in history myself. My dad's a historian." The mare spoke quickly and with confidence, but faltered on the word 'historian' as she realised what a boring subject history was. She cleared her throat.

 

"Um, sorry. I'm sure you don't want to hear my monologue. How about you? Lived here long? I only got here about two months ago."

"All my life, and welcome, I guess. I haven't traveled anywhere for a while and there's not a whole lot here, but it's big enough for whatever, I guess," he shook some of the accumulating snow from his snout and stepped into a new spot in the snow, his legs starting to get a little cold. Again he paused, not entirely sure what else to say. "Say, got some time? Wanna go grab a bite to eat with me? It's getting a bit cold out."

"Of course! I just had a hot chocolate at home, but I think I could do with a coffee." She copied his actions and brushed off snow from her muzzle. "I've got all the time in the world, I'm off work for the winter now." The mare shook snow from her boots, then began to walk in the direction of the café.

 

"Do you mind if I navigate? I'm trying to get where everything is into my head. Ponyville's big for a small town."

((Oh I know that feel, that's one of the bad things of rp'ing. Dialogue can't happen like it can when you're writing a story, so it seems shorter. :/ And feel free to do the environment and town layout, it's your rp.))

 

Tinker followed, crunching through the snow slowly as he tried to catch up to her. "Yeah, that's fine. It's not too far anyways. Lead on." By the time they had made it twenty feet from where they started, his hooves had become slick with packed snow. His eyes opened a bit wider and he felt that 'Oh crap' feeling every other step as he slid about helplessly in the snow. He forced out a labored exhale of frustration, scraping the snow off both pairs of hooves with the opposite. Tinker trotted to catch back up with Potipah, nearly slipping again.

 

Note to self, need to make some sort of... hoof-spikes... for this nonsense, he thought to himself as he glanced around at the buildings around him. Consider it noted...

"You alright?" Potipah asked, cocking her head over her shoulder to glance back at Tinker who seemed to be having trouble with his footing. "I've got some traditional-sorta snowshoes back at home, I could lend them to you if you like." She stopped for a moment to let him catch up, then turned to the left. "I think the café's this way? Or was it straight ahead.." She furrowed her brow in thought, then spun three-hundred and sixty degrees, observing the area. "Uhg, I need a map..."

"No, I'm alright, I'm just... struggling today," he said, finally catching back up to her. "I've got some stuff at home, maybe I'll make something later for this..." He stretched, watching as she looked all around for some sort of inspiration or direction.

 

"Cafe? It's down that street," he pointed ahead and nodded his head in that direction, as if to affirm that's where he meant, "Just a bit farther, and on the left." He grinned, "It'll come to you eventually, it's not so big a place once you walk it for a while."

Black Widow had now put on a black and red scarf to match her coat and mane. She began trotting through town, looking at the several cheery ponies dotting the streets. She sipped her hot cocoa, when she came upon Tinker and Potipah.

 

"Happy holidays, neighbors!" She smiled.

"Okay then." Potipah nodded her head, then puffed up her shoulders and exhaled, letting them down again. "Sorry for this, I must seem like such a dunce." She blushed, looking at her hooves. Honestly, she should have learned her way around by now, but she was far too busy most of the time sleeping in until 12 PM and sending scrolls to her old Trottingham friends.

 

A black-coated pony approached the pair, a red and black scarf around her neck. "Happy Hearth's Warming to you, too." Potipah said, beaming at the newcomer. "Where are you off to?"

"Y-y-you don't s-say?" Black Widow said with a shaky smile, shivering. 

 

"Anyp-pony know where a fire is?" She blushed, still shivering.

"Well, me and Tinker were just making our way down to the café. You could join us! I'm sure it's warm there." Potipah said with a smile. She gave Black Widow a hug. "C'mon, it's not far now."

Ally had stopped walking, watching the three ponies. She had been like that once - before Electra died. She sighed, wishing for everything to go back to the good old days.

((Come on, Wolfey, it's your first post. I know the rest of us are posting bugger all at the moment, but surely you could've come in with more background.))

 

Potipah began to walk towards the café, but felt eyes upon her. Sad eyes, belonging to some stranger. A guilty frown crept on to Potipah's face, then she asserted her emotions and peered over her shoulder. Standing there, in the middle of the path, was a white mare with an orange mane.

 

"Are you okay?.." The cream-coated mare asked to break the silence.

Cider was at the front door, grinning slightly. A red-and-white hat lay forgotten beside him as he knocked. It's not that he disliked it, he was just uncaring really. He liked christmas and the jovial spirit that accompanied it, not the the faffing about with hats and gifts. As far as he was concerned, his presence should count as a gift. He sat by the door, waiting, as snow fell around him. He heard others inside and waited patiently.

 

it's been forever and a half since I've even seen anyone, this should be a nice surprise. Wonder what they've been up to.

 

He hadn't really done much with himself. Ever since Uni, he'd completely ignored everything he'd studied and started in a bar, slowly working his way up until the previous owner left and he purchased it. Now life was simple, he woke up, worked for a few hours, and had the rest of the days to himself. His staff were efficient enough to not need him. He shook his head, snapping back to reality and grinned slightly at himself, snow falling from his mane as he continued to wait, chill starting to seep into his body.

(Yeah, Squint, but I've kinda re-designed her. Yet again. I'll make the re-design of her my new profile picture in a minute.)

 

"Y-Yeah." she stuttered. She hadn't talked to anypony in a few months. "Just walking."

 

(EDIT: Okay, my profile picture is now what she looks like.)

"Doesn't look like you are at the moment." Potipah said, nodding at the mare's white hooves that were upon the cold ground, camouflaged against a background of snow. This drew her attention to her own hooves, making her realise that even through her boots they had been chilled to the bone because she had stood around for so long. She pulled them up one at a time, teeth chattering.

 

"Listen - I can't stand around much longer or I'll freeze, but if you want to accompany us to the café that'd be lovely. If you don't have any bits, I'd gladly buy you something."

Potipah smiled back at Ally. She decided not to ask why she looked so troubled; it was probably none of her business and would only make Ally feel gloomier. "You live here in Ponyville, correct?" The cream-coated mare began, deciding to ask why she had never seen Ally before. Despite living in Ponyville for only 2 months, she was certain she had seen most ponies. It was likely that the white-coated one lived nearby - nopony would venture from one side of the village to the other in this weather. "I've never seen you before. It's a wonder why not, you do seem nice as anypony else here."

"Yeah, I do live here, and I tend to stay inside most of the time..." Ally said, wrapping her scarf around her neck again. "You're new here, I suppose. I'm Ally." she said, smiling, sticking out her hoof for Potipah to shake.

"Yeah, kind of new." Potipah took Ally's hoof and shook it twice, firmly. "Been here a few months, I would have expected to have seen you by now... But I guess I just haven't because you're inside more often than not. I can't say I blame you, it has been cold." She said, smiling warmly as she withdrew her hoof.

 

"Shall we walk?" The cream-coated mare began trotting in the direction of the café, seeing a sign with a teacup painted upon it up ahead.

"Sure!" Ally said, following the two mares. She felt happier than she ever had, since she had made a new friend, and the pain was slowly welling away, forgotten.

They entered the café. Inside, the smell of mulled cider filled the air. A pony holding a ladle stood behind a large pot that was set upon a portable gas hob that was on low heat. The pony, who had a mane of blue and a yellow coat, waved to the group as they entered. "Five bits for mulled cider, if anypony's taking!"

 

Without a word, Potipah was at the stand and with a cup of warm mulled cider levitated by her magic. Five bits were on the table the cider-selling pony stood at, and she seemed quite stunned. The cream-coated mare, however, sat her mulled cider down on a table and looked into it, blowing on it occasionally to cool it down a little. She went sparkly-eyed as she gazed down at the beverage.

Tinker shook the snow from his cold, wet legs, loosening his coat and tossing it up onto the rack with a flick of his head. He walked over to the bar, straightening his mane with a spare hoof as he pulled up a stool. He browsed the menu and found a toasted lettuce and onion sandwich that looked appealing. Tinker placed the order and his cider was brought out, still steaming. His eyes turned to the side, observing the group. Must've picked up a couple when I wasn't paying attention. Ah well, I guess a few more never hurts. Right?

 

He settled into his stool and stretched out, taking a sip of the cider. It was rich and satisfying. He knew he would miss it as soon as he stepped back outside into the cold.

Ally paid the yellow pony the bits for her cider, sitting down next to Potipah. "So, what's your name?" she asked her, blowing on her cider gently to cool it down.

Potipah, who still had her wide blue eyes upon her drink, said not a word to Ally. She blew it a final time, then picked it up gently in her hooves similarly to the care that would be taken when lifting up a new-born foal. The rim of the cup reached her lips, and she tipped it up and poured the warm cider into her mouth. Once she was done, she put the cup down on the table and slumped back in her seat slowly, resembling a gradually melting snowpony.

 

"Oh, I love winter.." She sighed, looking dreamily up at the ceiling and placing her forehooves (boots removed, of course) on her chest. Another moment came and went until she finally sat up again, stretching her forelegs and covering her mouth as she yawned. "Sorry, what was your question?"

The cream-coated mare picked up her cider and had another sip, then placing it back down on the table but keeping her hooves around it for the warmth. She smiled over to Ally and replied: "Potipah, and your name is..?"

"Ally. Also, nice name." she said, smiling, taking another sip of her cider, trying to stifle a laugh at Black Widow. "So, do you like Ponyville so far? How long are you planning to stay for?" she asked Potipah, her fringe falling in front of her face and then brushing it to the side with a hoof. She then looked around the small café, it being filled with a gentle, orange glow from the fire nearby.

((Well, a good way to spice up your posts is just to describe the place as your character sees it. Surely she would have a bit of a different point of view on the situation and the location than Tinker or Poti would, right? If nothing else, you could describe your own character's thoughts and physical reactions to things. You did that in your post above, which is good, but after she asked the question, you could think of what you would do if you were sitting at a table with a drink waiting for someone to respond to a question. Would you take a quick drink, or look around, or mess with your hair? Little things can fill a post pretty quick, but don't overdo it. Leave some things for future posts, i.e. don't ask a question, then trim your nails, comb your mane, and down a drink all in one post. You could draw all of those things out over the course of five or six posts, just to be sure you had enough to fill each post.))

"Well, I don't really know.." Potipah said with her hooves around her cup, eyeing Black Widow but mostly disregarding her. "I really like it here, I want to stay for as long as possible. I do miss Trottingham, though." Feeling thoughtful, the mare leaned an elbow on the table and gazed at the fire. She thought of Trottingham, her home, with its cobbled streets and rose-gardens. The museums, the libraries. Everything that was there and of great significance also existed in Ponyville, but this little town still was not home. It never would be, and even after two months she was struggling to accept that fact.

 

"I do like it here, honestly. I just find it hard to adjust to places so quickly, two months doesn't feel like long enough." She tapped her hoof on the table in thought, her brow furrowed.

As Black Widow attempted to inform the group that she was wedded to another mare but then asserted it was a stallion, Potipah tilted her head with a look of puzzlement. In Ponyville, an integrated society with equal rights for all ponies (as it should be), why would somepony be concerned about being married to one of the same gender? However, the beige mare had little time to question Widow's hesitation, as a statement about restaurants was put forward and she could not help but agree.

 

"Oh my, I couldn't agree with you more. Restaurants in Trottingham are wonderful, and I wasn't disappointed by the wonderful settings and chefs over here. I had brunch over by the river not too long ago, it was exquisite." She then smiled and turned to Ally, who had now begun her own short anecdote.

 

"An ice rink?" Potipah asked as Ally finished. "I must be misinformed, I didn't know of an ice rink. We had one back in Trottingham that came along with a winter fair, but I didn't know there was one here too. I'll have to go and visit!"

"An ice rink would be fun! I'd need skates first, though.. and a bit of hot chocolate, as well." Black Widow laughed a little. A waitress came to her and offered her some hot cocoa, which she happily bought an immediately started drinking.

 

"Oh Celestia, I needed this." She laughed in bliss from the warmth of the drink.

"Yeah, I went to the rink last year, and they provide the skates." Ally said, smiling, but then staring into space, being reminded of Electra yet again. She shook her head, not wanting the dark memories to cloud her mind when she was having fun.
