Blizzard was sound asleep dreaming when he's a baby surrounded
by fire. He tossed his head then he suddenly wakes up. He sat
up in bed and looked on the floor. Skyview and Starfire wasn't
there under their blankets. The room was dark and the curtains
were closed letting very little light in. He could hear the birds
chirping and the sounds of wood being cut. He climbed out of
bed and opened the curtains. He blinked a few times from the
brightness of the sunlight. Then he turned and was about to walk
towards the door when he noticed his bed had frost on it. He
was relieved to see it wasn't ice, he guessed it was probably
because he had woken up in the middle of his dream. He left the
room and went downstairs.
When he reached the bottom steps he noticed Starfire in the
dinning room with a small box and several thin books. He was
curious as to what Starfire was doing. He walked across the living
room and stood at the table in front of Starfire. He noticed
Starfire coloring in a book, it looked quite interesting to him
and yet he wondered what the purpose in coloring a book was.
Starfire put a crayon down and went to pick another one up when
he noticed Blizzard watching him.
"What?" Starfire asked.
"Nothing," Blizzard replied, then he turned from him.
He walked into the kitchen and saw Rosebud stirring something
in a large bowel. Blizzard approached her quietly and watched
for several minutes. He was curious to see what was in the bowel
and why she was doing it. Rosebud looked to the right and noticed
Blizzard staring at the bowel.
"Good morning, Blizzard. I'll have your breakfast done soon,"
Rosebud told him.
Blizzard remained quiet not sure what to say to her. He walked
around her and continued to the living room.
He walked to the stairs and saw something black in the family
room. Blizzard peaked in and saw Skyview sitting on the couch.
Blizzard walked up to him and looked over his shoulder.
"What is it?" Skyview asked, looking up at him.
"Umm...nothing," Blizzard replied.
He turned and left the room, he walked to the living room and
watched Starfire for a bit. He had wondered around the house
and there was no sign of Luna. He wondered where she went?
When Starfire caught him watching, Blizzard quickly left and
hurried into the kitchen.
He stood at the kitchen counter curiously watching Rosebud
pour something onto a pan. Blizzard approached her and stood
next to her watching closely. Rosebud smiled greatly when she
saw how curious he was.
"Is there something you want?" Rosebud asked.
"No," Blizzard turned and left the kitchen.
Rosebud finished pouring the batter onto the pan, then she went
into the dinning room and peaked around the corner. She watched
as Blizzard walked into the family room to see Skyview.
"Starfire, what's he been doing since he got up?" Rosebud
asked.
"Going back and forth," Starfire replied, "from
Skyview, to me and then to you. I ask him what he wants and he
says nothing."
"He said the same to me," Rosebud replied, "He
seem curious though and just watches."
"If he's so curious then why don't he just ask?" Starfire
asked her.
"Let ask him why," Rosebud suggested.
Starfire stood up and walked from the dinning room with Rosebud
to the family room. Blizzard was leaving the room when they walked
in.
When Skyview heard Blizzard was out of the room he stood up leaving
his book on the couch.
"What is wrong with him?" Skyview asked, "He watches
and when I ask him what, he says nothing."
"Lets ask him then," Rosebud proposed.
The three of them left the room and walked into the kitchen
to find Blizzard staring at the pan and watching the batter cook.
"Blizzard," Rosebud called to him.
Blizzard turned and stood looking worriedly at them. he was nervous
to see the three of them together looking at him.
"Is there something wrong?" Rosebud asked.
"No, nothing's wrong," Blizzard replied.
"You've been watching us" Skyview told him, "If
you have a question to ask, just ask."
Blizzard remained silent wondering if it would be alright to
ask a lot of questions. He knew he was never allowed to ask curious
questions with his father.
"You...don't mind me asking?" Blizzard nervously asked.
"No not at all," Rosebud answered.
"How are you going to know something if you don't ask?"
Skyview asked him.
"Father has always told me not to be curious and don't ask
questions, just do it," Blizzard answered.
"Your still listening to your father after what he's done
to you?" Skyview explained.
"Blizzard, you're a little pony. Little ponies are always
curious, it's normal. It's how you learn by being curious and
asking questions," Rosebud explained.
Blizzard sighed sadly, he had not realized he was still listening
to his father. He knew Skyview was right. Blizzard looked up
at him, "Really? You don't mind?"
They smiled at him.
"Not at all," Skyview answered.
"Oh, so...What's this stuff in the pan?" Blizzard asked.
"That is pan cakes I'm making for you. I hope you don't
mind, I'm always making them for Lunarstar," Rosebud replied
walking up to the stove.
Blizzard looked at Starfire curiously, "What were you doing?"
"Coloring. I was bored this morning so I decided to color
in a coloring book."
"A coloring book?" Blizzard asked.
"Don't tell me you don't know what it is?" Starfire
asked.
"I never heard of one," Blizzard answered.
"It's a book you color in," Starfire answered.
Blizzard looked curiously at Skyview, "What were you reading?"
"It's a book I found here this morning called Mysteries
and Magic," Skyview replied.
"Mysteries and Magic?" Blizzard asked not sure what
it meant.
"You sure don't seem to know much," Starfire commented.
"Father never let me read more than a few books. I've never
gone out and talked to other ponies. All I know is what father
told me," Blizzard explained.
"Well, You'll learn a lot now that your living here,"
Rosebud remarked.
"Why don't you come with me and color. it's fun," Starfire
suggested.
Blizzard turned and looked at Rosebud, "Where's Luna?"
"In school. Why don't you color till breakfast is ready,"
Rosebud proposed.
Blizzard had nothing else to do so he followed Starfire into
the dinning room.
Skyview approached Rosebud, "I can't imagine why his
father kept him isolated from everyone."
"Well he's here and he'll learn to be a normal little pony
like he should have been," Rosebud told him.
Skyview turned and left the kitchen still thinking about Blizzard.
"But he isn't normal. I wonder where he really came from?
It's not possible for someone outside the family to have abilities
like his, it's just not possible," Skyview thought. He sat
on the couch in the family room and continued reading his book.
Starfire spent some time showing Blizzard how to color. Blizzard
found it quite interesting and didn't want to stop coloring. |
