(It was the first day of Spring; Winter Wrap Up had finally come to a close and Snowflake was finally able to stretch her wings in the sky without having to worry about knocking into a snowstorm cloud or two. She was on her way to Canterlot for an 'at home' veterinary visit with a client who was too sick to leave home to get his pet to the clinic himself) Snowflake: What a beautiful morning..! It would be a shame to be sick this time of year and miss the warmth. Hmm.. *takes out a piece of paper from her bag with an address* Almost to Canterlot.. Where does this pony live, again? (After taking a few wrong turns, Snowflake finally lands in Canterlot and follows the paths towards a lonely cabin near the outskirts of Canterlot.) Snowflake: This is the right address.. Alright then! *knocks on the door* Hello! Its me, Doctor Snow; I'm here for my house call to see Sir. Fluffington! (After a few seconds, she heard a lot of bangs and noise heading towards the door with a muffled voice calling from inside) Pony: Just a second! Snowflake: ... *Feels a bit concerned by the crashing sounds but waits patiently* (The door finally opens and Snowflake gasps. A familiar firey colored pegasus stands in the doorway looking flustered and scuffed up. Snowflake gasped and couldnt believe it. It was Sunspot; Her old friend from Flight School) Sunspot: Sorry about that, I- *blinks at Snowflake for a second and then his eyes widen* Wait.. Snowflake?  Snowflake: Sunspot.. I didnt expect to see you; In Canterlot nonetheless! *giggles in embaressment a little* Its been a while..! Sunspot: *blushes a bit* Uh yeah, it has. Wow, I didnt think I'd be seeing YOU today..! *laughs with her* Well, how've you been? Snowflake: I've been good! But, you on the other hoof.. *snickers* You are covered in scratches; What were you doing in there just now? Sunspot: Ehh.. Well, I, um; I was putting away my things. *rubs his mane nervously* Things I was working on.. Anyways, come inside. Snowflake: Oh, right, dont wanna spend the whole appointment in the doorway. *laughs a bit and enters the cabin*  (Snowflake looks around and sees a pretty modest living room; Very unlike the aura of living in a city such as Canterlot. The floor was covered in grease stains, nuts and bolts; and she glances as Sunspot after seeing them and he just blushes in embaressment) Sunspot: Sorry about the mess.. I wasnt expecting you so early.  Snowflake: Oh, thats ok. So wheres your pet? Sunspot: Oh, Sir Fluffington isnt my pet, he belongs to my roommate.  Snowflake: Oh! Well, wheres your roommate? Wasnt he sick? Sunspot: Yeah, but I called for a taxi to bring him to the clinic. Told him I'd watch Fluffinton for him. He's back this way. (Snowflake follows Sunspot into a backroom and sees a fluffy black cat curled up on a bed covered in used tissues) Sunspot: Uhh.. Allow me. *reaches onto the bed and scoops Sir Fluffington up* I'd rather me get sick from contact with this stuff than you.. Besides, I'm probably already exposed thanks to that walking virus.  Snowflake: Aw, thats sweet of you. *laughs and then smiles at Sir Fluffington* Hello there, cutie pie! You ready for your check up? ---- (After Snowflake tested Sir Fluffingtons vitals and gave him his shots, she walked back into the living room to find Sunspot scrubbing the carpet trying to get the grease out)  Snowflake: Need help? Sunspot: *jumps a bit and turns to her, tossing the rag away suddenly* No, I'll get it later.. haha.. Dont want to take up any more of your time.  Snowflake: I dont mind. Its nice to catch up with old friends. *smiles*  Sunspot: Well.. If you insist. We can go somewhere less.. Messy? Snowflake: Sunspot, its ok; Really. You make it seem like you think I'm not used to being around mess! Sunspot: Like this? Snowflake: Well, lets just say Rainboom isnt the cleanliest of ponies. *laughs*  Sunspot: Rainboom? Huh.. You're still hanging out together? Snowflake: We live together. Shes my roommate. We got a place in Cloudsdale a year or so ago. Shes been so busy with Wonderbolt training lately though, its gotten kind of boring. Which is why I started branching out and making house calls! Sunspot: Congratulations by the way; I always knew your destiny was with animals. You're a wonderful veterinarian.  Snowflake: Thank you.. But, may I ask, why of all places did you move to Canterlot? Sunspot: I may not be a unicorn or anything, but.. Mom was born here. And I guess since I dont really connect to my dad all that much, I guess I wanted to try and figure out some of my roots. Even if, physically and emotionally, I dont fit in. But I'm making it work.  Snowflake: .. Show me what you've been working on! Sunspot: What?! Snowflake: Come on! Show me! I promise I wont laugh or tell anypony, no matter how silly it is! Sunspot: I.. *blushes a bit staring at her nervously and then sighs and smiles* Ok.  (Sunspot opens a closet and suddenly a pile of machinery fall out in a big pile.) Sunspot: I've been tinkering with some things; trying to, well, invent something. Something useful someday. But none of these really do anything.  Snowflake: You're an inventor then? *looks through the pile and picks a few piece up to look at them* Sunspot: I wish I could call myself that. I'm nothing but a failure right now. Snowflake: What are you talking about? I could never make anything like this! *holds up a little metal bird with a button on its belly*  Sunspot: You dont even know what it does. Snowflake: ... Well, what does it do? (Sunspot presses the button and the little metal bird begins to sing and flap its wings) Sunspot: I was trying to find a way to get it to actually fly, but nothing was working. So instead I just went with a simple flapping mechanic.. Pointless creations like this are hardly worth the title 'inventor'. Snowflake: I love it.. Its so cute! This is so cool, Sunspot!  Sunspot: *stares at her with wide eyes. She was the first pony besides his roommate to compliment one of his inventions* You really think so? Snowflake: I do! *smiles*  Sunspot: *blushes a bit and smiles softly* You can keep it then. Snowflake: Really?! Sunspot, I couldnt- Sunspot: I insist. It was the only one I ever made.. and I think it belongs with you. As a token of my friendship? Snowflake: *smiles and hugs it to her chest* Well, thank you. I'll cherish it! (The two of them spend a few moments in silence until Snowflake clears her throat and stands up) Snowflake: I guess I should be getting back to Ponyville.. I have other appointments to attend to.  Sunspot: O-of course! You dont want to keep those cute little critters waiting! *holds the door open for her* It was nice to see you, Snowflake. Snowflake: It was nice to see you too, Sunspot.. Dont be a stranger, ok? (Sunspot nods and Snowflake sends him a farewell smile as she spreads her wings and starts flying back towards Ponyville, hugging the little metal bird to her chest) ---- I wanted to make a picture depicting some years later, when the new CMCs are grown, and moved on with lives of their own. Snowflake and Rainboom became roommates, but most of their other friends moved to other cities and towns; Like Sunspot moving to Canterlot. I thought the idea of Sunspot trying to become an inventor would be nice character development for Sunspot; Seeing as I never really had a plan for him besides him NOT wanting to follow after Firestreak into the Wonderbolts.  As you could probably guess, this is a shipping post! xD  Canonly, Sunspot developed a crush on Snowflake when they were young, and even though he didnt say it, moving to Canterlot to connect to his roots wasnt the only reason he moved there. He felt with Rainboom in her life, that he would never have a chance with Snowflake; so eh moved to Canterlot.. Where he knew (or thought) Snowflake wouldnt end up, so he could try to move on. Instead, be began tinkering with anything to try and get his mind off of her; creating the metal bird while thinking of her. (Which was why he was so surprised when she picked it out of the pile as if it were fate) Even after all those years, its evident he still has feelings for her.  Seems he might have to make some trips to Ponyville once in a while now.. lol
