Breakfast - The ice sun

>You are Shimmer Light.
>It's one of the last hot days of the year, unfortunately.
>You love the heat.
>Cold is useless, why does the heat have to go away?
>Stupid seasons. The world should always be in blistering heat.
>That would be perfect.
>Many moths are celebrating the heat by jamming as many Summer activities into the day as they can.
>You've seen many moths running around with water balloons and other water-objects.
>Losers.
>Running around is for fillies and colts, not full-grown ponies.
>"Ha! I got you!"
>"Virgo, you were right next to me, how could you miss?"
>The white one is harassing the bee after drenching him with a water balloon.
>"... You didn't have to chuck it at me point-blank, dick."
>Everyone's immature.
>Fillies seem to be playing tag in the street.
>The fat one isn't telling them to go somewhere else, so she must condone it.
>Idiot.
>Why is the world filled with idiots?
>"Ha! I got you! Now you're it!"
>"Aw, but Dandelion was doing so good..."
>That should be "well", not "good".
>It's good to know the education system is just as bad as the rest of the world.
>"Why am I here, again?"
>Oh, look, Dark-and-Edgy is here too.
>The bat-moth is next to the fat one; he has an expression of boredom.
>"I just need a little help keeping track of all of them, that's all..."
>That isn't "all".
>She's very obviously holding some information.
>Fatty has a crush on Edgy, how vomit-worthy.
>You continue on your way, trying both to block out the sound and to stop yourself from throwing this morning's breakfast all over the ground.
>...
>Many moths on the street around you have stopped moving to stare at something in the sky.


>Their jaws are all open, dropped at whatever sight they're seeing.
>You have more important things to do than look, however. You-
>Actually, you believe the sight has put itself in your line of vision.
>The stagnant brown one flies down from above. Though, it's not her they're looking at but what she's wearing.
>A piece worn only for attempting to entrance any pony who sees it into loving the wearer.
>She has to wear something like that just to get attention, pathetic.
>The pony gently knocks on a door; only a few moments later, the yellow one opens to receive quite the sight.
>"Hey there, Goldie, what do you think of this?"
>The yellow one just stands there, dumbfounded.
>"It's marvelous, ri-"
>Before she can even finish her sentence, the yellow one grabs her and rushes her inside.
>The door slams shut behind them.
>... A moth whistles.
>"Cut it out, Virgo."
>"Aw, just because she doesn't do that for you, Pepper?"
>"Virgo, I swear t-"
>You hear a water balloon burst and the white one cackles in laughter.
>He's running away at this point.
>The overly-brown stallion he was is now infuriated and chasing after him.
>Once again, everyone on this planet is immature.
>...
>Well, you almost made it home without encountering Hexferry...
>Unfortunately, she looks like she wants to talk to you.
>You both walk until you're only a meter away.
>"Hey, um..."
>Oh great, she's going to waste even more of your time than she usually does.
>"Do you... have anything going on tomorrow?"
>... Fantastic, this again.
>You continue to stare at her.
>"I know we haven't really spoken very much, but I'd like to hang out with you. I have all day free, so..."

>Once again, she doesn't seem to be embarrassed.
>She's so... natural around you.
>Around others, she's squeaking and huffing in anger.
>... You don't show a single sign of caring.
>"We could just go to my house, if places with a lot of ponies aren't your thing."
>Being around anyone is the worst.
>Hexferry included.
>"So, what do you say?"
>...
"No."
>With that, you turn to walk around he-
>Y-your vision hazes over.
>Your h-head is th-throbbing...
>W-were you... h-hit?
>S-something's wrong...
>You feel...
>S-so c-c-c...
>Cold...
>You don't feel your body hit the ground, but you certainly see it.
>All your body can feel is the quake.
>Why is the ground shaking so?
>Or... is that just you...?
>Hexferry's face comes into view.
>What's that emotion?
>Fear? Worry?
>You don't know but she certainly isn't happy.
>... Are her lips moving?
>You can't hear her.
>The only thing you can hear is your shaking breath.
>Your sight is... fading?
>So... cold...
>Hexferry jumps up.
>You can only see her hooves now.
>... She seems to be... standing there...
>Why?
>Your brain is running in circles.
>She's standing there...
>Then what?
>She's standing there...
>... Your blood...
>You can feel your blood.
>... It's just as cold as you are.
>So... cold...
>... Your window of vision gets smaller.
>It's closing in on you.
>Hexferry comes back into view.
>Is she worries?
>Does she even care?
>... Why?
>She dashes out of your sight.
>... Though, that isn't difficult now. Your eyes have almost stopped working.
>You can feel your consciousness fade...
>The world shifts just as your sight ends.
>...
>So...
>Cold...
>...
