[At Melody’s house…] *The ponies watch the TV*
“We have unusually cold weather heading our way today,” said Dan. Folks here better bundle up because this storm is expected to remain here for all of today and it will be a cold one.
“Well there goes good beach weather,” said Bright Eyes.
“We should be fine with our fat bodies,” said Melody.
“If you say so, Melody,” said Bright Eyes. I’m staying in here though.
“You’ll roast while I have all the fun,” said Melody.
“I’m with Bright Eyes,” said Bon Bon. You’ll be a giant popsicle.
“Well I’m going outside,” said Melody.
“No you’re not, young lady,” said her mother. Didn’t you hear the weather report?
“Yeah but I’ll be fine,” said Melody.
“Listen to your friends,” said her mother. It’s too cold, even with a bigger body.
“Fat is supposed to make you warmer, mom,” said Melody.
“Yes but not warm enough to survive in this weather,” said her mother. Now stay inside.
“Okay,” sighed Melody. *her mother leaves the room* Now’s my chance. *she sneaks outside* [Outside Melody’s house…] Boy they weren’t kidding it is cold out here but I’ll be fine. *snow and wind buffets her* This is awesome! [Later…] *her body freezes into a block of ice*
“Where’s Melody?” asked Bright Eyes.
“She was just here a minute ago,” said Bon Bon.
“Oh no,” said Clover. What if she’s outside?
“We’d better check and see,” said Starlight. *they look outside the window*
“Uh guys, I see her,” said Clover.
“She’s frozen!” said Bright Eyes. We have to get her out, even with this cold.
“We’ll need something to bring her in,” said Bon Bon.
“Here’s a wagon,” said Bright Eyes.
“We’ll need to bundle up,” said Bon Bon.
“Luckily we came with coats in case we were wrong about our previous guess about being fat and cold weather,” said Bright Eyes. Looks like we were wrong but let’s go get Melody out of the cold. *they pull the wagon out and carefully place her on the wagon and back into the house. We’ll put towels on the floor so that the floor doesn’t get wet and damaged. *they lay towels down and very slowly the ice melts*[A few hours later…]
“Melody, you’re back!” said Patch.
“What happened?” asked Melody. Last thing I remember was playing outside.
“You became covered in ice from the cold,” said Bright Eyes.
“I’m definitely going to need a warm up,” said Melody. I’ll just sit by the fire and watch TV with you guys.
“We’ll have to clean up first,” said Bright Eyes. *they remove the water from the wagon and dry it off* *Melody’s mom comes back in the room*
“What’s that wagon doing there?” asked her mother.
“Melody learned a hard lesson not to ignore the weatherpony when he’s making a forecast,” said Bright Eyes.
“I’m glad you’re safe but you’ll be grounded tonight,” said her mother. *she leaves the room again*
“Serves me right,” said Melody. I shouldn’t have gone out there.
“At least you came back in one piece,” said Patch.
“Yeah, that’s true, Patch,” said Melody.
“I guess there’s not much to do now except wait this storm out,” said Bright Eyes. [Later that night…] *the snow picks up and the wind increases* [The next morning…]
“Well that was an exciting day,” said Melody.
“Yeah but the storm is over,” said Bright Eyes. Weatherpony says we should be back to normal weather today.
“That’s good,” said Clover. We shouldn’t take mother nature for granted because she can be quite a hassle.
