Snow Diamonds (Amber & Sparkle)

Amber laughed lightly as the snow from the branch landed of her mate's face. It was cute, for the moment it lasted. Now she was gazing at him and he was gazing at her in turn through the now the breeze carried snow.

She tried to put her thoughts in order but they didn't want to. Grace, Power, Protection, Bright, Diamond were words her mind tried desperately to sentences to make them make sense. She was taken back to reality when her brain clicked off the image of Sparkle looking at her, and showed what now was happening.

She grin and took a few strands of the grass he offered her and munched on it contently, while looking at him. Amber tried again to put what she felt to words in her head, but nothing really worked except that Sparkle was very dear, to her. She knew what her brain was trying to do, but it was failing as of now.

She took a step closer to him so their bodies touched, "Thanks. Your light always send the the shadows packing."

Smiling, he nuzzled her fondly before reaching down and pulling up another mouthful. What was it about that mare that got him drowning in love? Ah, well, what didn't have that effect on him, when it came to her.

Swishing his tail, he dusted some snow off of her as they pressed together, grinning mischievously as he contemplated her reaction at being bumped into a snow drift. She made him so happy he would burst with it soon, if he didn't find some way to let it out.

"I try, any way."

He paused for a moment there, studying her face, before nuzzling into her mane and letting her lean on him.

"I could try for a million years to explain what you do for me and still fail. So I won't try; instead I'll just say that I love you, my Amber."

With that, and a gentle nip, he stepped sideways and swung his body to bump her, letting out an excited laugh. If this worked would she ever get even with him!

Amber looked back at him as he removed snow from her back and noticed the mischievous grin on her mates face. She grinned, he was planning something, but what? She looked up at figured he was close to the tree that snow that had fallen off the branch was, and was thinking he may bump the trunk and knock down all the other snow hanging around in the trees canopy. Which she was currently standing directly under.

She was about to get prepared for what ever Sparkle was planning, but at the touch of his muzzle on her neck, all those thoughts evaporated. She could not help but lean into him, at the last moment she put it together, how do you disarm Amber, you nuzzle her. Her brain got the plan, but her heart was like, I like where I currently am. She closed her eyes in complete content.

She would have responded, but next thing she knew she felt a playful nip and then she was landing in a giant snow drift. She gave a surprised snort at landing on the cold snow Her eyes flew up open and she looked over at her laughing mate. She grinned, he was so dead now. "I love you too Sparkle. Words can not describe how much nor how much you mean to me."

She slowly got to her feet and shook her coat of all the snow dust that had clung to it from falling into the drift. She admired how the tiny ice crystals could seem like diamond shards in the sunlight. She made her way over to Sparkle slowly, her forelock from shaking her head was lying over one eye.

She stopped when in front of him, leaned out and kiss him. Hoping he would his defenses would met, just how his touch had evaporated hers. After a moment she pulled back and bolted to his closest to the tree. Then stopped and bumped the tree truck hard. If this worked, the snow would dislodge from tree tops and cover her mate. There was probably enough to have snow cover him to his back, so his neck and head would be the only thing visible.

Prancing happily, Sparkle grinned at his mate and waited for her to get even. It was impossible for him to stay still, the anticipation was so high.

Then she kissed him, and he found himself relaxing a little. She was a marvelous kisser and he always found himself melting into it, into her. The very next instant she had jumped aside - and he found himself all but buried in snow!

Laughing, he climbed out with an effort, pausing as the glittering flakes distracted him. The way light played could be so very, very beautiful.

Glancing at his beloved with bright eyes, he trotted over and kissed her cheek, still chuckling to himself as he shook images of drifting snow flakes out of his mind. She was certainly something else.

"Nice one, sugar. Betcha I can do better, though!"

And the very next instant nearly the entire pile of snow that had fallen on him was spiraling towards her face.

This was going to be a good day.

She snorted and laughed, it was so cute. She enjoyed their kiss and now to see him laughing as he made his way out of the giant snow mound, it was perfect. Her sunlit eyes watched Sparkle with love and determination in them. She was not going to loose this little game of theirs.

Amber watched him playfully as he trotted over to her, she knew he mad somehting plan to top her move, but what? She fought desperately not loose herself in him, when he kissed her on the cheek and managed to at least keep her head above the waterline of loosing herself.

She grinned at his comment and it was enough to give her shallow ground to stand on in her battle to not go loose. Amber felt the spark of her determination to win click in a little more.

The next instant Amber knew was all the snow that she had dropped on Sparkle was flying towards her. She had a second to move to steps out of the snow waves path. She managed to avoid getting her face, head and neck covered in snow, but her back to her tail was snow white.

She look like a black and white paint with yellow flecks on her neck only and a electric blue mane and forelock. Amber looked back at her half snow covered body and laughed. She focused hard and was to get her tail to be seen too. The snow had packed on good.

Amber looked over at Sparkle, "Thanks Dear. Nice come back." With that she leaned forward and moved out of the snow mound, but she still looked like a paint. "I believe Sparkle, that the light fluffy snow is becoming packing snow."

Amber bolted to her mates side, skidded up some snow at him and once at a stop she shook all the clinging snow onto him, well she hopped she did.

He snorted out a laugh, grinning at her with such bright love in his eyes that they practically glowed. This was perfect.

"Packing snow? What's that?"

He stepped back before he shook off, letting her have the last prank - it was only fair, and knowing her competitive nature she wouldn't be happy with anything less.

"Does it snow at your home?" he nickered, pressing against her as he played with her mane. "I see some here, now and then, but never at home. Don't know that much about it."
