Hey everycreature! What's up!?

It's been awhile since I last updated this hasn't it!?

Anyway, after such a long delay, I finally have the Yak choice like I said I would do! I had a hard time thinking about how to approach this choice and go about doing it, but finally it's here!

Also, as always, suggest other choices you want to see here, because I'm running out of ideas!

Choose the Yaks

After Flurry ran away from the throne room where her parents were, she knew she couldn't stay in the Empire, she needed to run away somewhere far, where her parents wouldn't find her. So Flurry decided to run away into the Frozen North, wherever she could hide from her home and parents, to be aline. Quickly, but carefully going out of the Empire, making sure no pony saw her, Flurry left the green fields behind to face the cold, snowy wasteland that was the Frozen North.

And there was no lying in the name of the Frozen North, because soon enough the sky was grey and snow fell down in sheets as Flurry found it more difficult with each hoof step to trot through the deep snow and with the howling wing constantly beating against her, trying to push her back as Flurry had to keep her eyes half closed to have some kind of vision.

"Come on, you can make it Flurry, you're strong enough." Flurry told herself.

Despite Flurry's persistence in trying to make her way through the Frozen North, it was hopeless as the weather eventually beat the young alicorn as she lost balance and collapsed, landing down in the snow. As Flurry felt herself becoming weaker, before she fainted the last thing she saw was the outlines of a few big creatures, with horns, come towards her. The young alicorn had no strength to defend herself from this possible threat, not that she cared anyway as her world became black, Flurry's eyes closing, not seeing who the creatures were.

And just like that, what seemed like only a short time, Flurry's eyes shot wide open as she felt warmth. Flurry saw that she was laying on a straw bed, with a warm blanket over her, confused she looked around to see a fire roaring in the middle of the hut structure she was in. The hut, straw bed, and fireplace all looked so familiar, but she couldn't think properly what it reminded her of as Flurry let out a mighty cough as she shivered, still feeling a little cold as she saw her breath in the air, telling her she was still in the Frozen North.

Flurry's answer to where she was came as a huge creature with horns came inside to check on the young alicorn.

"I see pink pony princess is awake." The creature spoke as she had a smile.

"Princess Yona?" Flurry said in surprise as indeed it was the leader of the Yaks, confirming she was in Yakyakistan.

Yona, once a little yak and just a student at the School of Friendship in Ponyville, became the new leader of the Yaks after Prince Rutherford decided it was time to spend his elder years relaxing and so gave Yona the title of princess, making her the new leader.

"Pink pony princess is lucky I was on my way to your home for a visit, found you lost and so brought you back here." Yona went on. "How is pink pony princess doing?"

"I'm okay Princess Yona, I'm sorry to bother you, but I must keep going." Flurry said quickly as she got off the bed, however as she got on her hooves, her legs gave in as Flurry was a bit disoriented still as she felt dizzy, Yona helping Flurry to stand as the Yak princess was rather concerned.

"Pink pony princess is in no condition to travel right now, at least stay the night and rest up, than you can leave in the morning." Yona suggested.

"Oh no, I don't want to be a burden on you Princess Yona." Flurry said, but only because she needed to leave quickly before her parents could catch up to her.

"No burden, please stay and rest, you're a regal guest here." Yona insisted. "And when you feel ready, you can join me and my family for dinner."

"Well, if you insist…" Flurry sighed as she got back on the straw bed that was made for her and laid down.

Meanwhile Yona left, wondering why Flurry was in such a rush to leave as she went back to her duties as leader of the Yaks. Going back to the largest hut in Yakyakistan, the hut reserved for the leader, Yona decided to write a letter to the Crystal Empire, to be sent right away…

After a few hours, as it was starting to get dark, Flurry woke up, yawning as she stretched out her legs, feeling well rested and her body temperature back to normal as she no longer felt cold. However even thought she no longer felt cold, she now felt hungry as she heard her belly rumble and beg for food.

"Yona did say I could come join her and her family for dinner…" Flurry remembered. "Might as well take her offer up while I'm here." Flurry giving in to her hunger.

Coming out from the guest hut she was staying in, Flurry saw some Yaks out and about, of which they all bowed politely to the young alicorn as Flurry smiled awkwardly. Coming up to the nearest Yak, Flurry cleared her throat before speaking.

"Excuse me, but where does Princess Yona live with her family?" Flurry asked.

"Right there, pink pony princess." The Yak answered as he pointed out the large hut where Yona lived.

"Thank you." Flurry replied as she went to the hut.

Opening the flap a tiny bit, she could see Yona and her family gathered around a low lying table with their dinner on it, looking like they were just about to dig in. As Flurry couldn't decide how to enter, Yona saw Flurry unsure of herself.

"Pink pony princess is here, come and join us, we're just about to eat." Yona smiled as Flurry now had to enter.

Flurry sat down in an empty spot, between Yona and her younger brother, as the family began eating their dinner. It was more simple fare, compared to what Flurry eats for dinner in the Crystal Empire, but Flurry didn't expect anything else, because she knew the Yaks lived a more rustic lifestyle than she was used to in the Crystal Empire. She still enjoyed it nevertheless, having had such food before when she came along with her parents on diplomatic visits to Yakyakistan while growing up. While Flurry was eating, Yona's younger brother was staring a little bit at the young alicorn, eventually finding the courage to speak to her.

"Pardon me pink pony princess, but where is your crown?" Yona's younger brother asked.

"Oh…" Flurry began awkwardly. "Well…" Flurry tried thinking of something, luckily Yona spoke up to avoid Flurry not giving a proper answer.

"That question is not appropriate, brother Yak, let the princess eat her fill, she doesn't have the energy." Yona scolded her brother.

"Alright sister Yak…" Yona's brother sighed.

Flurry had to chuckle very quietly at the sibling attitude and well seeing Yona and her family eating their dinner together made her remember all the times when she and her parents ate dinner together, the three spending their meal time alone as a family, just talking and sharing laughs, like Yona's family was doing right now. At that thought, Flurry's expression changed from happy to sad and regretful, something that Yona noticed and took note of.

As the family and Flurry finished eating, Flurry was about to go back to her guest hut, but Yona stopped her.

"Wait, pink pony princess, why don't you sleep here tonight, we have a spare bed for you." Yona suggested.

"Oh no, I already ate some of your food that your family prepared, I don't want to bother you anymore." Flurry replied.

"It's no bother, please." Yona insisted. "You're a special guest and should be treated like one."

Flurry was rather touched by all the hospitality from Yona, must be from all the things she learned from the School of Friendship, Flurry thought as she didn't want to be rude and trot out on Yona, so she stayed.

"Mother Yak will show you to your bed." Yona told Flurry as Yona's mother came froward.

"It's an honor to have pink pony princess here." Yona's mother said as she smiled and led Flurry to her bed, which was a fine straw bed. "I'm sorry if it doesn't suit pink pony princess, this is the best we can offer."

"It's fine thank you very much." Flurry said politely as Yona's mother bowed once before leaving Flurry.

Flurry felt tired now from eating as she yawned and laid down on the straw bed, which was a bit more comfortable from the one before, telling her that Yona's family were putting a lot of effort into making her feel at home. As night fell, Flurry fell asleep and as she was asleep, she was thinking a lot about the day, seeing Yona and her family being a happy family reminded her of her own family, when it was just her and her parents. Maybe that's a reason why her parents hesitated in telling her the truth, because they didn't want to ruin all those happy moments.

Morning came as Flurry slept nicely, the light of the morning promoting her to get up, Flurry rubbed her eyes with her hooves and then went to see if Yona's family was awake, which they were, already out and about.

"Wonder where they are." Flurry said to herself as she exited the hut which was Yona's house.

Adjusting her eyes to the sunlight, she then saw something that merely a day ago she wished she never wanted to see… Her parents. Yes, her parents were here and talking with Yona, but stopped as they saw their daughter.

"Sweetie!" Shining Armor yelled as he galloped towards her, Cadance joining in as they hugged Flurry.

"We were so worried about you!" Cadance added as Flurry was rather confused at how quickly they found her.

"How did you two know I was here?" Flurry asked as she was hugged very tightly by her parents.

"Princess Yona let us know that she found you and took you in." Cadance answered and Flurry looked to see Yona nodding.

"And we're glad that she did." Shining Armor now having a few tears. "Sweetie, we're…"

"No dad…" Flurry interrupted her father. "I'm sorry I ran away, I just didn't know how to respond appropriately to the news, but I should have been willing to hear you two out."

"That's okay sweetie, we should have told you in the first place when you were old enough." Cadance said apologetically.

"Well it's in the past, I'm ready to go back home and only look towards the future." Flurry smiled.

"Well, lets not wait a minute longer than." Shining Armor said as he turned around to head for home, only Flurry spoke up as the family was at the gates.

"Wait, before I go, I got to say something to someone." Flurry said as she turned around and came to Yona. "Thank you Princess Yona for everything, I will never forget what you did."

"Yona only did what was right, nothing more." Yona said, not taking any credit whatsoever. "And do please call me only Yona." Yona wrinkled.

"Will do, Yona." Flurry chuckled. "See you again hopefully soon." Flurry smiled as she then went back to her parents, back home to where she truly belonged.

And that's the Yak or Yona choice done! Finally finished it like I said I would!

And now please suggest more choices! I need them!

See everycreature later!
