Shade could do nothing but growl...

 

She hissed at the ponies and flew over to the cafe...

 

When she got there she entered shivering and freezing...

 

She sat next to the heater to warm up... All she needed was a little warmth to warm her completely...

 

She got some warmth and then she surrounded herself with green fire and changed back to her pony forum... She was still cold but now she felt like a normal pony... Except for all the attention she attracted entering the cafe.

@,

 

Coco stood there, feeling like freezing inside. Like everytime - She tried to do something lawfully good, and all she got was a hissing. She felt disappointment in herself. She decided to stay on her chaotic neutral way.

"I don't get it..."

She looked at the colt. "Sorry about that. Thanks for your help.." she said with teary eyes.

"Someone has to say thank you... when the one who was supposed to do so."

She took off her glasses and put on her flying goggles, preparing herself to take off and continue in her flight.

Arcane was a bit taken back by the rude response from the pony in the snow. He turned to the mare that brought him here and walked over to her. "You okay? I don't think either of us was expecting a response quite like that. If you want we could go to my dorm and get some hot chocolate or something?. I need to put a scarf on anyway, can't keep a heat shield up forever" he offered.

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

@,

 

Coco got nervous. "Sorry I can't. I have a sl-"

"ime pony in my room and I have to bring some food..."

"...I have a task that has to be done right now." she was thinking for a second. "But it's a question of ten minutes, if not less.. So I can hurry and then meet you inside, if you want." she added. She seemed shocked by her own words. But after all, a hot chocolate after all those sleepless and "eatless" days and nights sounded good. She slowly took off and hovered in the air.

[Sky 746]

Sky slid back to the dorms and sat on the steps. The slippery ice and snow had truly beaten him. As Sky's boredom began to grow from him just sitting there he decided to randomly sing songs. "Let me light up the sky, light it up for you, let me tell you why, I would die for you." He sang loudly, and as soothing as he could.

[Windy Scamper 403]

Slide nodded. "Yeah. I'm still here." He responded. "You're in my room. I didn't have a key to anypony else's. Just rest until you feel better, and don't mind me..." he then chuckled. "If you can." He said, still grinning.

 

'Ugh, why do I still act like this? It's not like anypony knows you, and knows you have to act slick. It's a stupid way to hide emotions....but, it's effective, I suppose,' Slide thought to himself.

 

He then went to his bedroom and grabbed his trombone. "I hope you don't mind me playing. It shouldn't keep you awake that much." He ten began to play. 'Don't expose any feeling while playing this time....I have somepony around, and a mare, fo course. Even if she is pretty, she's still a mare, and mares are obsessive over feelings...'

@@Descant,

 

Rambler felt Cascade pressing up against him and wrapped a foreleg around her shoulders, pulling her in tighter.

 

"Is it too cold for you out here? I really enjoy this time of year myself. Playing around in the snow makes me feel like a little kid again."

Cascade happily allowed herself to be pulled closer, and nodded. She was shivering slightly, despite the fact she was dressed for the cold weather. "We never get anything like this back home in Las Pegasus," she said conversationally. "Too coastal, too deserty. And that's the part of the city that's not on a cloud I'm talking about."

[Sky 746]

Sky then stopped singing and realized he could just teleport to the cafe and his usual seat as he had spent so much time there. He casted the teleportation spell but after it had finished he found himself on top of the green fire mare from earlier. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I thought I had perfected that spell." Sky apologized quickly as he helped her back on her feet.

Rambler nodded and continued to hold her close to him as they walked.

 

"I can imagine how you might have trouble adjusting, then. Hopefully you'll get used to it after a little while. After breakfast maybe we can see about getting you an even thicker coat to keep you warm. But does that mean you've never seen snow before?" 

[Undyne 1,483]

Slide nodded. "Yeah. I'm still here." He responded. "You're in my room. I didn't have a key to anypony else's. Just rest until you feel better, and don't mind me..." he then chuckled. "If you can." He said, still grinning.

Lite was mainly staring at the ceiling while Slide was playing, rubbing her bruises from where she was snowballed. "Uh, Slide... What's that... Thing you're playing? And how do you make it work?", she asked, sitting up on the couch, rubbing the back of her neck gently.

[Windy Scamper 403]

He stopped. He then smiled. "It's called a trombone. It's the most amazing instrument in the world. You blow into this moutpiece here," he said, showing her the mouthpiece. "And then move the slide down here to change the pitch. Or, you can move your lips to make it change octaves.....make it go significantly up and down. If the instrument is out of tune with the rest of the band, you change it by pulling or pushing this tuning slide up here," he said, pointing to the top. "If it needs to be higher, you push it in. If it needs to be lower, you pull it out. Same with the main slide down here. And there are 7 positions you can go to to get each half step, er, interval, right." He then pulled the slide to each posktion, saying its number as he hit it. He then passed it over to her. "Her, you can try it, if you're up for it. I'll sit behind you and help with positions."

"Uhg... No problem.... Just don't do it again..."

 

Shade got to her feet and sat at a table... She picked up the menu and ordered just a muffin and a coffee

 

She needed a coffee after almost freezing to death... Her day wasn't going how she would like it to go...

 

She took a bite of her muffin and gluged down her coffee...

[Sky 746]

Sky sat down next to the mare and pulled out enough bits to pay for what the mare had ordered. "Here, I owe you." He said as he gave her the bits and then ordered himself an extra espresso shot mocha and a blueberry muffin. "My name is Sky by the way." He said in an attempt to start a conversation with the mare

[The Original 571]

@, 

Arcane nodded. "Okay. Room 83" he said before leaving back to his dorm.

 

Once he arrived, he immediately threw on a scarf and started to prepare hot chocolate for himself and the mare he met just a minute ago. "Probably should have caught her name before she left... oh well" he thought to himself.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Yup. I have met couples who are at least ten years apart. And to be honest, I don't care what others think as long as we're happy. Now, Lets go get you that tux." She said, finishing her scone and tea then standing up. She placed a few bits on the table as a tip to the waitress, then she trotted towards the door.

 

"That sounds awkward," he laughed. He blushed.

"I agree."

He left a little on the table, and followed her.

"You know," he gestured to his own money on the table. "To make up for those who don't tip. It's one of the only ways, if not the only way, waiters and waitresses get paid."

Lite looked at this odd instrument with confusion, but took it into her own hooves. Adjusting herself to where she could play it satisfactory, she blew into the mouthpiece, only receiving the sound of air coming through.

 

"Maybe I was blowing too soft.. Let me try again." 

 

She blasted out a B flat on the highest octave possible, and looked over to Slide. "Like that?"

@, @@Descant,  

 

Well, since I have no idea where to find either of them, the best place to start is by idly wandering until I so happen to stumble upon them. Yes, that is how much free time I have. Think what you will.

 

Well, it was more effective than one would have you know, it didn't take Star too long before he spotted them walking together. He was deterred by how close they were, but after a quick shake of the head he was back on track.

 

"Hey, Rambler, Cascade." He called out as he walked up beside them, keeping to Cascades side. "Sorry, I just wanted to see how you were doing this morning. We finally have snow."

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

"See ya." she said, repeating the number in her mind, and got into flying.

"Wait.. have I just accepted a meeting in a room of a pony I met a while ago..?! I don't even know his name.."

Coco's mane floated behind her while flying in her bouncy way, as she tried to fly carefully. It was still faster than going by hooves.

The shop wasn't far. She analysed the food around while running between the racks.

"Okay so food.. I don't need that and for Slimy... I guess I'll just take what I used to feed him with all the time, just in bigger package and different form.." she said, grabbing a package of relatively fresh sushi. She checked if it contains algae.

"Algae... check. I hope it has enough of iodide.."

She paid for her package. This time, her flight wasn't save and slow at all. She felt her wings and mane getting wet with snow. She got into her room by the window, as always.

"Slimy?" she looked around. The slime pony was surrounded by books. "Good." she smiled. "Sorry for being late... Some complications.. I brought you a breakfast." she opened the package. The slime pony unsurely stared at sushi. Coco sighed. "Like this." she took a pair of eating sticks from the package, took one piece and fed Slimy with it. "So, how is it?" she asked. "Not bad. Not at all. Thank you, miss Cocodrillo." answered Slimy. Coco blushed. "You don't have to call me like this, Slimy..".

She watched Slimy. The slime pony was trying to pick the sushi with the eating sticks. Slimy looked neutral, genderless. She decided to talk about him as about "him", not "her". After all, his voice sounded more like a male than female. She was sure he could change his voice in whatever he wanted, because he could stretch his vocal chords as much as he wanted.

"Slimy.. if I was the only living being you saw while forming.. why don't you have a pair of wings?" she said and fluttered her framed wings. "I can have two of those." answered Slimy and grew a pair of wings. "I'm super elastic, remember?"

Coco smiled. "Oh, yes... Green And Knitted..."

"Slimy.. I have to leave now. I'll try to hurry up, okay? I'll try to get there before my class starts..." she patted gently Slimy and got outside. She felt a special kind of relation to this slime. It was like having a close friend after all that time. She's been taking care about that green ooze for months, and now.. it decided to form itself to keep her company. "He needs to meet more ponies so he can percieve from more ponies than just one. It can help him with the development and progress in his shaping."

Coco got outside and realised she didn't remember the number.

"Oh geez..."

A milion of pictures and thoughts ran through her mind in a second.

"Wait.. It were two numbers... The second one wasn't half of the first one in a numerical way, but in a graphic way... 83.. yes.."

She looked around, realising that the number 83 was a room just opposite her room. She took several deep breaths and finally got courage to knock on the door.

Rambler looked over at Star with a hint of suspicion, never fully trusting him after his trying to break them up at the beginning of the year.

 

"Oh hello, Star. Yeah, I'm pretty excited to finally have some snow on the ground. I can't believe they cancelled classes, though. I mean it's good to have a day off, but this isn't exactly a natural disaster."

"Well, I'm certainly not complaining. It's nice just to have a day to, well...  relax a bit."

"That was....great!" He said, amazed. "You must have soe natural tendency to buzz real high, because it took me forever to learn how to play that note. If you want to play lower, just uncurl your lip when you buzz a bit," he said, demonstrating that a bit. "It's real easy once you get the hang of it. Then you can start moving around to the other positions and play songs!" He said excitedly. 'Careful....don't get so comfortable.....don't want to reveal any emotions.....' 'Then why do I feel that I could with her. Is she....different than the other mares I've met? How?'

Arcane turned to the door and opened it with his magic. "That certainly didn't take too long" he mentioned. He levitated over one of the cups of hot chocolate over to the mare and then took a sip of his own. "I didn't manage to catch your name back there. I'm Arcane. Of course, not many ponies know that..."
