'Twas the night before Heart's Warming, when all throughout the town,
All were asleep, and not a pony did frown.
As smiles adorned their slumbering faces,
As they all reveled in others graces.
But there were a few innocent foals,
Who sat awake in the snow, with an innocent goal.
To see that mythical sight,
The Fire of Friendship burning bright.
Everypony's love of all types, all combining together to form one strong might,
And drive away the windigo fright.
And it is here we begin. The brightest of the bright eyed, the cutest of the cute, have all gathered together here on this wonderful night, to try and catch even a glimpse of the Fire of Friendship, that oh so wondrous sight.

I'll push my glasses up again.
"No, you got it wrong. The fire's never close enough to actually touch, we just see it over the horizon in that direction. It would take weeks to actually get to it, and by then it would have gone out."
Huffing a little, I'll add under my breath "Don't you read about these things?"

As you all talk amongst yourselves, the town clock chimes and rings, signaling that midnight is soon approaching, and with it, the Fire of Friendship!
>>254723
You find plenty, in the form of a tree that has recently fallen. Plenty of branches lying around it that you could use.
>>254728
Realizing your previous mistake, you take off your mittens and gather up some snow, compacting it into a nice and tight snowball that you throw with almost perfect accuracy, striking Spritz dead on in the face and knocking his glasses to the ground.
>>254729
You scoop up some snow and sort of halfheartedly attempt to throw it.
It falls on the ground in front of you.
>>254730
You try to roll up some snow to make a snowpony, but you slip and fall.
>>254732
You roll up a snowball, but when you cock back your arm to throw it you whack yourself in the face get a face full of snow.
>>254734
You gather up some snow and drop it all on the poor foal, covering him in the stuff.

Pfft, who said it's a bad idea to wear sunglasses at night?
You down those shades like and rock 'em.
>>254757
>>254760
>>254762
You all try your hardest to locate the Fire of Friendship, turning your little heads every which way to see it, but nothing! Nothing but the stars and the sky!
>>254761
>>254759
>>254758
>>254756
The more attentive and knowledgeable of you, however, notice something rather peculiar.
Or more accurately, feel something.
A cold chill has suddenly settled amongst the town.

Wait a minute…
This chill…
This isn't any ordinary chill…
This is the chill of DEATH
>>254780
>>254783
You two, however, know exactly what's wrong.
It's the dreaded windigos! Just like in the tale!
>>254787
The inside sounds like a great idea right now!
All nice and toasty and warm…
>>254791
You search high and low, but you find nothing!
What are those ponies searching for…

You scan to and fro, but lo and behold, nothing! Nothing at all!
You do notice that the sky is becoming ever so slightly murkier.
>>254802
You get up to begin your vigilant search, but you accidentally step on your scarf and are pulled face first into the snow.
>>254808
Nope, nothing.
They're just being silly babies.
It is rather cold though…

You hide alright.
All the way back home, nestled safely and warmly in between your two parents in their bed.
No way any windigos are going to get you here!
>>254817
You find nothing! Nothing at all!
You attempt to fire up your magic and-
OH MAN EVERYTHING'S FALLING ON YOU THE WINDIGOS ARE HEEEEEERE
RUUUUUN!
The clock chimes and rings again.
It's getting awfully late, and it looks like there's no sign of the Fire of Friendship…

Nothing. Nothing but the cold, frigid night sky.
>>254836
AAAAAAAAA-
You run face first into a tree.
A bunch of snow falls down and buries you.
>>254838
You pile those sticks alright.
The perfect tipi formation! Any scoutmaster would be proud of that fire.
Now if only someone had a match.
>>254840
You search around, but everywhere you go there's that dastardly chill!
>>254848
You're pretty dang embarrassed.
They must be so soft… like hugging a warm blanket!
>>254849
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUAU7r9akfs
That's… probably not the right song.
what are you even doing with a songbook like that
you're too young for that!
>>254850
You explode into treats!
Why, even Pinkie would be jealous of your enthusiasm!
You are SO READY FOR THIS LIKE OHMYGOSH
CAROLING!
HUGGING!
A sudden breeze flies past you all, bringing with it even more cold.
At this rate you might even get sick!

You stomp right on home to your racewagon bed.
>>254863
OH GOD
IT'S SO COLD
EEEEVERYWHEEEEERREEEE
EVEN PLACES YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD GET COLD IN
You should probably dig yourself out.
>>254864
You peek your head out from under the covers, and suddenly…
A WINDOW BURSTS OPEN AND THE WIND HOWLS!
>>254865
In your excitement you attempt to run and gather eeeeveryyyyone into a great big group hug!
Unfortunately snow is not conducive to running, and you slip and trip.
>>254867
It's completely average in every way, shape, and form.
Congratulations.
>>254869
http://youtu.be/WPRd892li3g
You're… also pretty sure this isn't it.
>>254870
Oh man.
You are the hug master.
So warm and reassuring…
And you hold that spaghetti like a boss!
>>254871
You still light up like a candycane though.

You play that beat alright.
That's pretty fun… maybe this kinda music isn't so bad at all!
>>254881
You dream a peaceful dream of frolicking in fields of beautiful flowers! And butterflies!
You giggle in your sleep and a goofy smile appears on your face.
>>254882
You DIVE into the hug, somehow wrapping your hooves around everyone and instantly you feel your warmth returning to you!
>>254885
You hug that pony tighter alright.
He's so warm… and soft, too.
>>254888
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuapp9SORA
…This is a weird songbook.
>>254889
That's a much better idea!
You check the table of contents and… there it is! Right on page thirty.
>>254890
You reluctantly climb out of the oh so warm covers and shut the window.

Yaaay!
>>254895
Are you… drooling?
Ew.
>>254896
Nope.
You trot around the entire group, but you can't find an opening!
>>254898
He's drooling!
Ewww!
>>254899
Oh gosh.
You really are good at this!
You hug that mare like one swag mofo.
>>254900
You pull the mare closer to you and accidentally drool on her!
>>254901
Man, singing is lame.
This rapping stuff is so much cooler!
You try rapping out the song instead.
>>254904
You know this one by heart! You don't even need to look at any songbook to know the words and the notes. You sing your heart out and you sing that song beautifully!

You fly back home and immediately dive into your bed, and promptly fall asleep.
>>254920
The cold freezes you so bad that your singing turns warbly and your wings just smack everyone else in the face.
>>254924
You bravely wrap your hooves around her and stop her menacing wings from harming any more ponies!
>>254930
You join in on that hug alright!
You can feel a bit of warmth from it, too!
You'd all best act fast.
1d10 to see how you're all doing.

You sneeze and you're pretty sure you got a case of the sniffles.
>>254942
You however, are just cold.
Your spaghetti is successfully contained however.
>>254943
Yes.
Eventually.
>>254944
Oof, you can already feel the redness on your face.
You can feel your nose starting to run and your throat starting to itch.
>>254945
All you see the peaceful, slumbering town. No signs of your friends…

The snow proves troublesome to move through, but you eventually make your way home and have your mom brew you a nice cup of herbal tea.
She isn't very happy about you staying out past midnight, in the middle of winter like this, however.
>>254951
Nope, those covers are on.
>>254952
You find it just fine!
>>254953
You're almost certain of it.
Why, you even have a hunch that they're having a sleepover!
>>254955
You also find it.
So is everyone at someone's home?

Eeeeew.
>>254969
You however manage to distance yourself away from his face and cuddle!
Warm~
>>254971
Yeah. Sure. 'Cold.'
That blush and the dopey grin sure says otherwise.
>>254973
Seems everyone's all occupied cuddling one another.
Looks like you're all by your lonesome self tonight…
Soon, everypony settles into a deep sleep, some more pleasant than others, and before anyone knows it the morning has arrived, and with it, the hustle and bustle of the town as ponies move to and fro, attending parties and giving gifts!
Or… they should be?

IT'S BLOODY FREEZING
why did you think walking outside with no clothing was a good idea!
>>254988
That's pretty lackluster, to be honest.
Could do waaay better.
>>254989
Your mom and dad are gathered around the table, sipping coffee.
Servants? They have the day off silly! They're off spending it with their own family.
You dunno where breakfast is though…
>>254990
Nope.
Far as you know it's just a normal day.
>>254992
And that they did!
It's…
It's your own foal sized workbench!
With pegboards for tools and drawers for storage and a built in work light and a table clamp and everything!
You are going to make and fix SO MANY THINGS WITH THIS
>>254996
You manage to contain your blush.

IT'S STILL BLOODY COLD BECAUSE ALL YOU'RE WEARING IS A SCARF
>>254999
You never did tell your parents you were spending the night.
>>255000
Nope. No dice.
>>255001
You knock your easel over and send your canvas tumbling to the ground!
All that work for nothing…
>>255002
You parents gesture towards a wrapped gift sitting under the tree.
>>255004
They hug you right back!
Such a strong family bond…
>>255005
Is that…
No…
IT IS!
It's a copy of "The How-To Guide on Finding Things: Everything You'll Ever Need To Finding Anything Missing Ever and Then Some!" AND the accessory kit! With this… NOTHING is ever going to be out of your finding grasp!
>>255006
You walk out the door and are immediately pelted by a snowball, knocking your glasses to the floor. Again.

Before you even have time to react, you're pelted by what must be a dozen snowballs in the span of a few seconds.
>>255019
It's…
A new pair of ice skates! Good ones too!
A definite improvement from the beginner skates you've had to make do with!
>>255021
IT'S A NEW SET OF WEIGHTS
OH MAN LOOK AT THAT
THERE'S EVEN AN EXPLOSION ON THE BOX THAT'S HOW AWESOME THEY ARE
>>255022
It's awfully big…
It's a brand new pedal harp!
>>255025
That's impressionist alright.
A bit too impressionist for your parents to truly appreciate, though.
But what do they know! They're just a bunch of ignorant plebs.
>>255027
You immediately fetch the birdhouse from outside and get right to work on fixing it!
You fix the loose paneling, pulling the nails and hammering in new, shiny ones and making sure they're all nice and tight, and once you're finished with that you take out some sandpaper and begin sanding down all the sharp corners and giving the entire thing a finished, professional appearance!
>>255031

You're excited alright. Excited to learn! nerd

You grab those glasses and hightail it back home!
>>255042
No, sadly.
It looks like you're going to need to do a lot more work than just fixing a simple birdhouse to get a cutiemark!
>>255043
There's so many strings… and what do these pedals even do?!
Your parent's smiles falter as they hear your playing, but instantly perk right back upw hen they see how much you're enjoying yourself! Even if your new taste in music is… unique.
>>255044
You wander the streets and find them oddly… empty. Nobody's out! How strange.
>>255045
"Happy Hearth's Warming, Lully!"
They smile at your enthusiasm (and not so much your artwork) and give you a big hug, then hand you a wrapped present.

>>255064
Chipp BARRELS into the two of you, knocking you over like bowling pins in his desperate search for somepony, anypony in this ghost town!
>>255060
…I'm going to let you reroll that. Just this once.
>>255061
Yes!
You don't catch them in the act, but you overhear them talking about it as you walk by them. It's definitely Sledge and his gang.
>>255062
They look pretty cross with you…
Might wanna come up with an apology or an excuse, and fast.
Maybe? What do you want?

>>255074
After taking a deep breath, I'll lay out my apology.
"I'm sorry. I was out trying to watch and see the Fire of Friendship at midnight with a couple of my classmates, and well, it never showed up, and it was getting really cold, so one of them said we could have a sleepover and you keep telling me to try and make friends so I thought this might be a good way and I spent the night at Meadowlark's house."
Looking adequately sheepish, I gauge their reaction.'1d10'
Roll #1 5 = 5

They're a bit lopsided.
You look kinda like a dweeb
>>255080
You open it, aaand…
It's a knitted hemp beanie.
It's slightly itchy… B- BUT it was lovingly hoof made by your own two parents!
>>255082
Oh man, you look like the swaggiest pony alive.
You strut out that door and find your friends in no time.
>>255084
Their angry gradually softens as you give your long winded explanation, before softly smiling as they realize you did it all to make friends and they pull you into a hug.
"You're still going to be ground for the next week. But… today's Hearth's Warming. Happy Hearth's Warming, Spritzy!"
They give you a gift.

It's really itchy…
But warm. Kinda?
You're scratching your ears too much to really appreciate it.
>>255101
It's a scarf!
With a bunch of numbers and equations and mathematical symbols on it!
It looks… neat? NEEERRRD
>>255108
You manage to contain your tears.
Mostly.
You're crying on the inside. That hurt…
>>255112
That sure is one condescending pat.

Your shades are fixed.
Nothing can upset them.
>>255132
Spritz is at home, and you also see Vonnie pressing his face up against the window.
>>255134
That's a very… minimalist rendition of your idea.
It takes you some time, but you eventually find your friends by Spritz's house. Which wasn't too hard, since they seem to be the only ponies out and about today. How strange.

>>255182
A larger tinge of red shows through.
>>255185
You take off your beanie and finally relieve yourself from that annoying itch, and replace the beanie back on your head.
…and the itch is back.
Anything you guys will need me for, or are y'all just gonna be roleplaying amongst each other?

Last time on Lil Pon Adventures: Hearth's Warming Edition:
Many of our unwitting heroes have gathered together in the town square, having already woken up bright and early to experience the joys of Hearth's Warming and open their presents. Others, *coughAureliacough*, however, enjoyed their sleep a little too much and decided to slept in, only now just waking up to meet the day.
But all are aware of the unsettling chill and the eerie silence that has settled over town today.

"Right. If there's Windigos about, then it must be because the town's not feeling the warmth of friendship. So we gotta get everypony feeling friendly."
>>258705
"Maybe… maybe we can convince some of his gang, though. In the story, it's not the leaders who set aside their differences, but their assistants!"

Your wings are freezing to you.
Maybe you should stop making snow angels and put your jacket back on.
>>258708
You hear a sound off in the distance, but you're not quite sure what it is or where it's coming from, what with all this wind.
>>258713

You're probably back at your house unless you don't mind missing out on your gift, of course

Nothing but the howling of the wind and… the sound of a pony, though you're not quite sure where it's coming from or what they're even really doing.
>>258719
>>258725
It appears that your parents share your affection for sleep, and they're still deep in their own slumber.
Your gift however, is sitting under the tree, neatly wrapped.
It's…
A neat new jacket!
It's all soft and warm and has tons of pockets! Plenty of places for keeping things.
>>258721
It's a very chubby snow angel.
Wonder if that's saying anything about you…
>>258727
Oh hey, there they are! Best follower the-
Oh wait. Those are just your own.
>>258730
Unlike your companions, you hear the sound much more clearly.
It's almost definitely the sound of a pony crying.

JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TIME YOU FIND YOUR FRIENDS
They're all together in the town square.
>>258740
>>258744
>>258745
You all follow the sound and find a little filly, who looks to be not much younger than all of you, sitting on a bench and crying her eyes out, mumbling something through her moans but what you can't quite make out.
>>258742
You hear exactly what you heard before.
>>258747
Apparently your parents forgot to include ear holes.
You just hear the muffled noises of your friends and the wind.

She looks up at your dance and smiles slightly, but immediately goes back to crying.
>>258779
"Who's… they?"
>>258780
>>258782
>>258783
She gently hugs you all back, sniffling.
"My… my best friend… we-"
>>258788
"W- What's wrong?… E- Everything! An' it's all my fault!"
She breaks out of the hug and runs away, crying even harder than before.

>>258824
You dive in for a hug, but you miss her by a decent bit and crash into the snow.
>>258823
You manage to not only catch up to her, but get in front of her and stop her right in her tracks as she barrels into you!
>>258830
You decide to try you hand at modernism and paint a heart wrenching rendition of a crying filly, her spirit crushed by the oppressive monarchy and corporate dominance.
It looks like a bunch of squares.

She's terrified by it.
"AAAA GETITAWAYGETITAWAYGETITAWAY!"
She shuts her eyes and bats it away with a hoof, hitting whoever is close as well in the process.
>>258866
You are so utterly terrified by the painting that you are reduced to a catatonic state, collapsing to the ground, whimpering and shaking.

>>258883
She immediately forgets about the painting and jumps over to you, grabbing you into a tight hug.
"M- my… my best friend… she hates me!"
She sniffles.
"We had these cute little friendship bracelets… they were half of a heart a- an' when you put them together they made a full heart! An' we both had one… b- but I lost mine and now she hates me and I'll never get to talk with her or hang out with her o- or anything forever!"
She breaks out into tears again.
>>258884
You join the hug, but she doesn't seem to notice you.
>>258887
AWW YEAH
YOU SHAKE THAT OFF LIKE A TOTAL BOSS AND GET BACK ON YOUR HOOVES LIKE IT WAS NOTHING
YOU EVEN MAKE EXPLOSION NOISES WITH YOUR MOUTH SO IT'S TOTALLY LIKE THERE'S A BUNCH OF EXPLOSIONS GOING ON AROUND YOU AS YOU GET UP
SO COOL
>>258890
She's too wrapped up in the hug to notice it.
>>258896
A few tears fall on it and soak in, but she otherwise doesn't notice it.

>>258915
>>258925
"I- I dunno… I just remember that one day I looked at my left hoof -I- I always wear it on my left hoof because she wore it on her right- and it was gone!"
>>258921
You tell yourself that she's just crying! The poor filly's barely aware of the ponies around her, much less something sitting on the floor.

She frowns and verges on breaking out into tears again.
"Y- Yeah… when I saw I didn't have it I ran straight over to Fall's house a- and told her about it… a- and she told me to get out! She said she never wanted to see me again!"

>>259015

>>259021
It's soft, but you're faaar to much of a strong stallion to want one of those sissy things!
>>259022
"I turned over my entire room an' I couldn't find it! All my clothes are all over the floor an' even my sheets are all crumpled up…"
>>259028
>>259038
"She did! She meant every word of it!"

>>259071
"I don't even know where to begin looking…"
>>259073
I'M DISTRACTED OKAY
"I thought you were gonna try and look for the bracelet though?"
She scratches her head in confusion.
>>259074

"I do, but… won't she be mad at me 'cause I lost the bracelet still?"
>>259105
"I can't remember! I told you!"
>>259114
A small smile comes to her face at your enthusiasm, and she takes your hoof and follows behind you to the park.
"There, there's the tree!"
She lets go of your hoof and runs over to an old pine tree and begins looking around in the snow for it.
'1d10'

She searches high and low, before finally finding that small glimmer of silver in the sun on… a branch, high above you all.
"Hey, there it is!"
She points up to it.
>>259131
>>259148
You both find the same thing, noticing that it's strangely positioned behind a out shooting branch, almost as if it was purposely positioned there.
>>259134
You use your strong wings and dig up a bunch of snow onto everyone else, finding absolutely nothing.
>>259135
You look around and catch a faint glimpse of silver somewhere in the tree. Where, you're not quite sure.
>>259138
You keep your nose stuck to the ground in your search of the bracelet, but your search comes up with nothing.

>>259160
>>259161
"I don't like to climb trees… that's something Fall likes to do."
>>259162
You smack that tree alright.
And knock Meadowlark off balance and send him tumbling down.
>>259166
You pluck the bracelet off of Meadowlark and look it over. It looks scratched in a few places, but you think it's okay.

Run right into Sledge.
"Are you crying? HA! What a wimp!"
>>259180
You make a magnificent leap into the sky, spreading your strong wings in an attempt to catch the falling mare…
In the completely wrong direction.
You catch nothing.
>>259184
And are promptly slammed face first into the ground by Aurelia.
>>259182
You barely manage to catch yourself at the last second, landing on your back rather than your face.
>>259185
>>259187
"That's it! That's it! Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"
She takes the bracelet and grabs both of you into a hug.

A pendant's an awfully small thing…
But you comb over the area and you are almost definitely sure that there's not even a chance that it's here.
>>259215
You try to make your way around him, but he just sticks out a hoof and trips you as soon as you attempt to run.
"Gonna run home and cry to mommy? What's wrong, some big mean bee sting you? You trip and scrape your knee?"
Sledge and his cronies are laughing up a storm.
>>259218
"Friends?…"
Her lips turn up into a smile.
"O- Oh! It… it looked like half of a heart…"
She scrunches her snout thinking of details.
"And… there was an engraving on it! I think… it was a leaf and a snowflake! Yeah! I got the snowflake."
>>259227
You lift your head up blushing so hard a tomato would be jealous.
You sticking your butt high up into the air probably isn't helping things either.
>>259229
You get up.
Because you were already standing up.
And why would you cry? Nothing happened to you!
>>259233
You try to contain yourself but you still giggle at the sight.

LAST TIME ON HWQ
SHIT HAPPENED
The foals discovered a plot to overthrow President Barack Oba-
Oh wait, wrong thing.
The foals discovered a crying filly, distraught over her potentially destroyed friendship with her BFF because of a lost bracelet, which the party later found sitting high in a tree.
Oh and Lullaby is apparently demented or something and painting something that terrified everyone ever.
And now we return to our inadvertent heroes.

You're now in a hole five feet underground.
>>266030
"It's not the bracelet! This bracelet was a sym… sym.. symbol of our friendship! And I went and lost it and now everything's ruined!"
The filly breaks out into tears again.
"Filly's bracelet? Who the hay are you talking about dweeb? Why would I even want a stupid thing like that anyways?"
His two cronies pop up.
"Yeah, why'd we wanna stupid thing like some dumb bracelet?"
"Yeah!"

The filly breaks out into tears again.
>>266035
I'll roll my eyes.
"Nothing's ruined. We just have to find it, apologize for losing it, and hope for the best."
I'll hug the filly to get her to calm down '1d10'
"And besides, if all it took was a bracelet getting lost for her to stop being your friend, then are you sure she's really a friend worth having?"
Roll #1 6 = 6

>>266040
She sniffles.
"R- Really?… You think that-"
>>266043
You try to hug her, but you accidentally topple everyone over with your STRONK physique and shove her into the snow.
>>266046
What if
What if
Hear me out here
What if you flew really high up…
And then DIVEBOMB HUGGED them!
This is totally a great idea and nothing can go wron-

He sticks a hoof out in front of you.
"Woah woah woah, namecalling dweeb? And trying to leave? I'm not done with you!"
He swipes his hoof forward and trips you, laughing.
>>266052
YOU CLIMBED ON TOP OF THE TREE
Looks like you've put on some weight. Chubby chubs.
You dropped those poor ponies and gave 'em some pretty nasty bumps and bruises, Winter-
>>266055
…remaining absolutely unharmed, Spritz nobly shielding her with his body and taking the brunt of Aurelia's landing.
She just looks up at you with starry eyes and grabs you into a hug.
>>266053
You stand up from the foal pile.
>>266054
No dice.

She enthusiastically nods and continues hugging you.
"Yes! That looks like it really hurt… are you okay?"
>>266069
You stand back up alright.
You stand back up with such confidence that you startle Sledge, making him take a few steps back.
>>266075
He can hear you.
It's up to him to respond though.

>>266081
>>266085
He shakes his head and comes back to his senses, tackling you to the ground before you have a chance to take off.
"You looking to start a fight dweeb?"
His cronies start approaching you as well, waiting for their command.
>>266084
You do!
You see that he's pinned down on the ground by that mean bully Sledge, surrounded by his two underlings.
>>266089
You stand on top of a table.
You don't really see much more.
>>266090
Winter releases you from her hug and leans up, giving you a quick peck on the cheek.
"That was very brave of you, you know."

You notice Lullaby flying over somewhere and follow her, leading you straight to Hopscotch.
>>266108
He climbs off of her, looking back to you.
"And? Whaddya gonna do 'bout it?"
He kicks some snow back on Hopscotch.
>>266109
Winter nods.
"Right… do you think she'll still want to be friends with me?"
>>266110
You charge in and tackle him, though Sledge noticed you charging and charged back, trying to knock you down.
'1d10'
>>266114
You kind of make a squeak, much akin to a dog toy, and run away.
Those bullies are scary…
>>266120
You crawl away from him, though you don't get very far.
>>266122
You mumble out your threat and immediately take cover behind a light post.
If you can't see them, they can't see you!

"Don't see why not. You seem nice enough to me. And besides, there are always more bracelets. There aren't always friends."
>>266153
Looking over at the melee, I'll sigh.
"And I think mine need me… Do you think you can hide behind the tree here?"
taking a look around the ground, I'll gather up some snow and try and peg Sledge with a snowball. '1d10'
Roll #1 7 = 7

No need for that!
He takes his first step charging towards you and immediately slips and flies into the air, landing painfully on his back.
You're still anticipating him, however, and when he trips you loose your balance and fall over as well.
>>266156
Hell yes you are.
Who's scared of some fucking bullies?
Not you!
YOLO!
>>266157
>>266160
"…What. You think showing me some goofy art is gonna make me like you or something?"
He's too stupid to be terrified by it.
He throws a snowball at you.
>>266158
"A- Are you getting into a fight? I thought good foals weren't supposed to fight!"
She hides behind the tree as you let loose a snowball, hitting Sledge dead on on the side.
>>266161
"My ma don't care what I do! She's always out of i- DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY MA!"
He scrambles to his hooves and throws a snowball at you.

You take flight and are immediately pelted by snowballs.
You are now Helpless.
>>266175
You nail Sledge right in the face!
>>266177
You dodge it.
>>266178
You feebly flap your wings but you fail to get up.
>>266179
You throw a snowball, striking one of his cronies, who you recognize as Singe, in the wing!
>>266180
Their direct grasp, yes.
Some of your friends are still on the ground though.
>>266181
You throw another snowball, hitting Sledge in the face this time!
He looks really mad now.
You all feel another chill sneak upon you, the howling of the wind suddenly seeming much louder…

You attempt to get up, but all the collected snow from the snowballs thrown at you is too much and you fall back down.
You are still Helpless
>>266186
You feebly attempt to brush some snow off of Hopscotch, but are pelted by a snowball before you can make any progress.
>>266188
"You wussing out like a little filly? Gonna run home and cry to momma?"
>>266190
You barely manage to get up.

No

Ooh, that looked like it hurt…
>>266200
>>266201
You both help Hopscotch get back to her hooves.
>>266202
IT'S REALLY COLD
YOU TRY TO ENJOY IT
You throw a snowball at Sledge, hitting him in the head. He's starting to look dizzy from all these snowballs…
>>266205
He shakes his head and shakily moves towards you.
"You gonna wuss out because of a bit of cold?! O- Or…"
He falls over, mumbling something about his head as his two cronies rush over to him, shooting you both glares.
"This ain't the end of it!"
"We'll be back! And next time you're all gonna get it good!"
They drag him away.
The howling hasn't ceased though.
If anything it seems like it's gotten a bit louder… and a bit colder.

"Anywhere to get out of this cold…"
Winter starts walking off towards Fall Leaves' house.
>>266221
They're pretty cold.
You're definitely gonna have trouble flying until you find some place to warm up.
Or run around a bunch.
>>266223
She blushes as you wrap the scarf around her.
"Okay… thank you."
>>266224
"Oh… she probably won't because she hates me…"
She stops in her tracks and sits down, sighing and whimpering.

>>266235
>>266238

"Yeah… maybe I should ask her! Then I'll know for certain… if, maybe she still likes me!"
She hops back up and starts off on a determined trot towards Fall Leaves' house.
>>266236
You think you should just follow her and see what comes of it.

Everyone follows her back to Fall Leaves' house, a simple two story building, festively adorned with reefs and garland and candycanes, and other such Hearth's Warming decorations.
She walks up and knocks on the door, a yellow earth pony mare answering it who you all can only assume to be Fall Leaves' mother.
Winter speaks with her for a few minutes, then walks inside and gestures for you come inside as well.
