Help, what are backgrounds?
Entry for a giveaway going on. I picked 5445 Paint It Red and 1092 Suibhne as my candidates. They're both major cutie pa-toots~
Story- “Wake up. Suibhne, wake up.”
The stallion’s eyes fluttered open as he looked out. The first thing he saw was snow. He was surrouned by the stuff. It stretched out around him. The landscape was pure white, the occassional tree and shrub breaking the surface. Snow was still falling, landing and sticking to his face.
The second thing he noticed was Red, the tabby mare down his row. She was standing a few yards away, ears pinned back. Her breath came out in large white puffs. As Suibhne woke up, she moved closer and repeated her question.
“You awake?”
Suibne grunted in response. He felt sluggish and dull. Even as he took a few steps forward, his hooves barely cleared the ground and dragged through the snow. Red rolled her eyes and moved to walk next to him. The pair didn’t speak. Silence descended over the land once again as they walked. The land changed little. More shrubs really.
“Where are we?” Suibhne asked, breaking the quiet.
The pair had stopped at the crest of a hill. Red shook her mane free of snow and turned to look at the stallion.
“Canada.”
“What?”
“I said Canada.”
“Why Canada?”
“Because there’s snow. Canada has snow.”
Suibhne looked over at the mare. She gazed out over the field. He turned and let his own eyes roam. In the distance he could see the dark green of trees. Canada? How had they wound up in Canada?!? He sighed in resignation.
“So what do we do?”
“I don’t know, walk?”
“Walk where?”
“To Hawaii. That is where we live.”
“How did we even get out here?”
Red didn’t answer. The chestnut mare trotted down the hill. The stallion watched her and followed. They crossed the expanse of white at a brisk jog. The dark trees grew larger as they approached.

Hopefully, this is the first of two pieces. Right now the pair is journeying.
