Winter was Pony's favorite season out of all of the seasons. Nothing ever grows or sprouts, not even a genuine flower. The atmosphere seems so lonely and she liked the coldness of the temperature. She liked it because winter seems so emotionless just like herself but revealing beauty secretly like a mysterious snowflake. She thought the snow was breathtaking, beautiful, mysterious, and calm.
The brunette saw from her window that snow was planted on the ground; however, the sky was not letting snowflakes crash peacefully to the ground. No, today was a bright sunny day and Pony was slightly disappointed that she couldn't see those astonishing snowflakes fall from the sky.
However, there was one reason why Pony didn't like the winter...
Her birthday was approaching and she didn't want Skye or anyone else to know about it.
She doesn't like to celebrate her birthday, since according to her parents, she was an accident and she caused her parents to struggle with money. Pony didn't like to remember her childhood at all and she hated that apartment she lived in the city. She wanted to follow in her dad's footsteps, and technically, she was right now.
She was now outside completing her ranch chores and she was now brushing her horse Paul.
All last night she couldn't stop thinking about Skye and she kept on questioning herself if she was really in love or not.
She continued to look at the snow that surrounded her and a thought then struck her, I wonder if this snow could cover up my feelings towards Skye... I guess I just have to act the same towards him as always, its not like I admitted anything and I don't want to higher his suspicion if I act oddly towards him.
The brunette then saw that her apple tree was still frozen; however, it was sparkling of immense beauty that left Pony breathless.
She then wondered what the valley looked like right now, all covered in snow, and Pony's curiosity was increased as she continued to think more about it.
Pony was urging herself to go check out the valley to see the beautiful snowy wonderland and she kept thinking it would only take her breath away.
With that thought on her mind, she finished all of her ranch chores, started to head out of her ranch, and heard a huge amount of voices coming from inside the Inner Inn.
Why are their volumes so loud? Pony wondered as she waltz right into the building.
As she walked in, she saw three shocked faces: Rock, Nami, and Ruby.
Rock suddenly coughed and whispered to his mother, "Ruby, please tell Pony about what just happened."
"Rock, how many times do I have to tell you that I like to be addressed by the word mom and not my own name!" his mother shouted at him infuriated.
Rock only chuckled as he responded in a cocky voice, "I already told you that 'The Rock' is way to good for using words such as mom. I should be allowed to call you whatever I want, you dig?"
Nami only scowled as she hit Rock on the head and shouted, "Rock, quit being such a moron and just shut up! Tell Pony already what happened!"
Rock only groaned in pain as he placed a hand on his head and he only scowled back at the red haired girl.
Pony just all gave them a confused expression as she stood in front of their doorway and she then thought, I think I should leave. It seems I interrupted something important.
"Pony, forgive these two. Especially my son... But um, I just received this letter from Phantom Skye and he says he is going to accompanying us tonight. Will you please help us catch him?" Ruby requested as she gave Pony a soft warm smile.
