Make my dreams come true!
Username: Makoto Kino
Signed-up Lambie: Novaria
Prompt: Novaria pressed her little paws against the window, eyes wide as they followed the thick, slow-falling flakes. She vaguely remembered this happening once before, a whole long time ago, but then it hadn’t- everything was all green and warm and soft; then it got all chilly and crunchy, and now it was cold! Really really cold and slippery, so much that she couldn’t use her wheelchair easy any more or play at the beach. Or outside at all much. But she got hot chocolate milk with whip cream and sprinkles before bed sometimes now, and there were a lot of pretty lights going up around town- and they looked really pretty at night, like now! The house next door was all glowy green and yellow, across the street was in rainbows, another one all blue. Some lights were even buried under the snow now, all pretty patches of red and pink and yellow...
A patch of light just at the edge of her vision seemed to wiggle. Novaria pressed closer to the window, staring intently- there, it did it again! She tapped her paws against the glass, too excited by this new development to even try words.
“See something out there?” her father called, looking up from the meal he was preparing.
“Mm!!” Novaria looked back, tapping the glass again. “Light’s movin’!”
“That so?” Her father chuckled, approaching the window and glancing out as he moved to pick Novaria up- but the light, a pretty patch of a lot of colors (mostly purple! not enough of the lights were purple!), moved again. She squeaked, her father paused. The light grew brighter, and then-
“Horn!” Novaria tugged her father’s fur. “S’a horn?”
“I think- Novaria, you stay right here, okay?” Her father deposited her on a chair, waiting just long enough for Novaria to nod before dashing outside. He wasn't gone long, though- only a few minutes passed before her father returned, a shivering, shining bundle held close to his chest.
--
The patch turned out to be a lambicorn, one just around Novaria's age! He wasn't in too bad of shape when Sebastian found him, but still extremely cold, so Novaria immediately gave him the mug of cocoa that had just been made up for her, and snuggled right up by the other Lambie until he wasn't shivering any more. Not terribly long after, an older Lambie showed up- the one in the snow was her grandson, he'd run off during a parade, could you believe that! She was glad that her Tera had been found so quickly though, and invited Sebastian and Novaria to her home- which turned out to be the library across town- for tea the next day.
So, Novaria's thoughts on winter? Every season is great, but winter holds a special place in her heart, for introducing her to Tera!
Dream: Fashionable new Friend!
