Princess Celestia at this time, a few years later, has found a new student. Twilight Sparkle has just arrived after the tragedy of Sunset Shimmer. Snowdrop wanted to be careful around this new filly, because of what had happened to her. Although she couldn’t see her, Snowdrop could tell that Sunset Shimmer wasn’t the best.
“Alright Twilight, I hope that you’ll enjoy being here at the castle.” Princess Celestia welcomed.
“Of course, it has always been my dream to live here.” Twilight said.
Then, in the corner of her eye, she saw a light blue Pegasus in the corner, working. Snowdrop was preparing for the winter coming up. She was crying, that was the only way she knew how to make her wishing snow.
“Who’s that? Why is she crying?” Twilight asked.
“That’s Snowdrop, she makes the snowflakes in the winter time. And the way she does them is using her tears. Then, using one of her feathers to make them look like a star. She found the winters blessings, so if you think that winter is happy now, thank her, she made it happy. The twinkle from the stars that I made help her make the snow.” Celestia answered.
“Why?”
“Because she can’t see anything.”
“Can I go see her?”
“You can, but let her get to know you. She has had a rough time making any friends.”
Twilight trotted over and looked at her face.
“Hello Twilight Sparkle.” Snowdrop welcomed.
“You know my name?” Twilight asked in disbelief.
“Even though I can’t see you, I heard about you from Celestia.”
“What did she say?”
“I can’t answer the question now.”
“Okay, how did you start to make the wishing snow?”
“You mean the star?!”
“Yes sorry.”
“It’s alright; anyways. When I was a little filly and was in school to prepare for the 100th spring sunrise under their rule. I made a wish to the stars my mother had told me about; then it came to me. I created a star, and gave it to them for the celebration. And then the following winter, I released more of them that winter.”
“Whoa.”
“I’m glad you asked me, none of the other ponies wanted to know about me. They’d judge me before they even knew me.”
“You’re welcome Snowdrop. If you need to talk we can.”
“Thanks. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to work.”
“See you later Snowdrop.”
Twilight left the room with Celestia. Snowdrop went back to work with a sad smile on her face. She made a friend, a forever friend.
