"You're not joking?" The first voice said, not at all amused.

"Of course I'm not, this will be great!" The second said, sounding excited.

"I honestly think this will be hilarious!" A third voice said, as excited as the second voice.

"I still don't see the point in this..." The first said.

"For one, it's to test the ponies, especially the bearer of the Elements. And two, this will be most entertaining." The second said.

"Can we do it now?" The third said, really eager.

"Yes Discord, let's combine our magic!" The second said, giddy.

"I'd rather not get involved." The first said.

"Yes!" Discord pumped his claw.

Suddenly, the area shined.

It was a peaceful day in Ponyville. The sun shined brightly, birds chirped, and ponies walked among themselves.

Quite high in the air, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were riding in a carriage, getting carried by two white pegasi in golden armor.

"I still wish you would've packed some more food." Spike said annoyingly, while bending over the side of the carriage to look below.

"I'm said I'm sorry." Twilight whined. "The princess called on short notice. And I rushed... and I forgot to pack more food." Twilight looked over to Spike.

"I didn't even get to grab any of the gems in my secret stash." Spike whimpered.

"You have a secret stash?!" Twilight asked.

"Never mind, I guess I'll deal with the royal food this time." Spike said pulling away from the side and leaning back against the seat.

Twilight sighed to herself and pulled out a letter. She read it again to make sure. "Princess Celestia said that there was an emergency in Canterlot. We need to get there as soon as we can."

"What happened this time?"

"I don't know, she didn't explain anything in the letter. She'll explain when we get there."

"Hopefully this doesn't take too long. I want to get back to my nap."

Twilight giggled. "Oh, you and your naps. When this is all over, we'll all have plenty of rest."

The ride was smooth. Spike and Twilight leaned back and relaxed.

It was the middle of winter, and close to Hearth's Warming Day.

Suddenly, the guards grew wide eyed when a couple of ponies flew in front of them. They didn't have enough time to stop or turn out of the way.

So they crashed.

The latches on the guards broke off. The guards crashed in different directions and the carriage was no longer flying.

Twilight and Spike got thrown around in the carriage as they screamed and the carriage hit the ground a second later.

Twilight opened her eyes slightly, only seeing blur. She got up but felt dizzy. She wobbled a bit then shook her head to get the dizziness out.

Once she gained composure, Twilight looked around and saw no pony. She was in some part of Ponyville, but everything looked destroyed. The air looked like a dull orange, and the sky was a tad darker. Had the carriage actually done this?

She called out, but no answer came. She then peeked into the heavily damaged carriage, and saw no pony or dragon in there.

Twilight looked back at the surrounding area.

She tried to flap her wings, but the recent impact made her somewhat weak. She decided to walk around to look for somepony to help.

She kept yelling out for help, but every time no answer was returned.

After some walking. She saw what looked like to be a white pony in the distance.

Twilight trotted up to it and started inspecting. "Why isn't this pony moving? ...At all."

She cleared her throat started to talk. "Hey! Can you help me? I'm kinda hurt, and I don't know where the hospital is- AH!"

She screamed as the pony turned and screeched. The pony was full-on white. Even her pupils were white as snow.

Twilight stepped back in fear as this "pony" slowly walked over to her.

Twilight inspected the pony some more and saw that it kind of lacked a mind. It looked lifeless but creepy at the same time.

The unknown pony put one hoof out, making Twilight realize that it wants her.

The alicorn was soon backed into a corner, then realized, "Wait! What am I doing? I'm a princess!" Twilight mentally slapped herself.

"Alright... whoever you are. If you didn't notice already, I'm princess Twilight!"

The pony didn't stop.

"Explain to me what is happening!"

The pony still didn't stop.

Twilight shut her eyes tight, getting ready for whatever was gonna happen.

As the pony was mere inches from Twilight, she panicked and swatted at the pony with her hoof.

Twilight opened her eyes immediately after, and was shocked to see the hoof she swatted some meters away.

The hoof was stable, then collapsed into a clump of... snow?

She looked at it carefully, "Snow?" She thought. "Is that what it's made of?"

Twilight lit her horn and used weak heat beams to cut through the rest of the unknown pony's hoofs.

The pony fell to the ground and Twilight wiped the sweat on her head. "What was that? A pony made from snow. And it tried to do something to me."

Twilight could hear some shrieking from below her, and saw that the snow pony wasn't out of commission.

She gasped and stepped on the pony's head, making it drop once again, turning it into harmless snow.

Twilight breathed heavily. "What was that?" She inspected the pony. "Please tell me this wasn't a (gulp) real pony."

All of a sudden, Twilight started to hear some more shrieks come from around her area.

"There's more of them!" Twilight was shocked.

She looked in the air and saw some other ponies like the one she just encountered. "If those ponies up there act the same as this one was, I'd better stay on the ground. It'd be a lot safer." Twilight said to herself.

Then she started to walk in a direction which led somewhere she didn't know. "This is probably what's happening in Canterlot. I'll need to go there and find Princess Celestia, then, we can stop whatever this is."

Cloudsdale

"Alright! Go again!" Rainbow yelled out.

Scootaloo, on a cloud above Cloudsdale ground, and a few meters away from a flying Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, jumped off and pulled out her wings.

She started glide down slowly, as Rainbow and Fluttershy watched in amazement.

Soon though, Scootaloo felt like she was falling a bit faster than when she first jumped off. And then she realized, she stopped gliding and was falling fast.

Scootaloo yelled and closed her eyes as she fell. But shortly after, she felt as she stopped falling.

She opened her eyes to see Rainbow Dash holding her. "Wow! Thanks Rainbow!"

"No problem squirt, and even if you did fall, the clouds would have saved you." Rainbow said.

Rainbow landed beside Fluttershy who was sitting on a bench, and set down Scootaloo. "Take a five kid."

Scootaloo nodded and walked a short distance away.

"She's doing great Rainbow!" Fluttershy said.

"I'm telling you, soon, she is going to be able to fly fast like me!" Rainbow said as she sat down next to Fluttershy.

"Maybe even faster." Fluttershy giggled.

"Wha- No way! I'll always be the fastest." Rainbow protested.

They watched Scootaloo in the distance try to jump and fly. She flew in the air for three seconds, and fell flat on her belly. She giggled when the clouds tickled her belly.

Rainbow's stomach growled, and Fluttershy snickered.

"I guess I'm hungry." Rainbow shrugged. "Hey Scoots! Let's get something to eat!" Rainbow yelled out.

Scootaloo turned her head and replied, "Okay!" She ran to Rainbow.

"Let's go." Rainbow said.

During the walk, Scootaloo just told Rainbow excitedly how she almost flew. The walk to the restaurant wasn't too far. It took them about 2 minutes to reach there.

As they were about to step into the restaurant, they all heard somepony scream.

Rainbow looked back and saw multiple pegasi flying away in one direction. Rainbow took note that they were all panicking.

She then looked to the left of the shop and saw a turquoise pegasus mare being cornered by some ponies who were walking and flying slowly towards her.

"Hey!" Rainbow yelled as she flew towards the group.

Rainbow landed in front of the turquoise pegasus, blocking the other ponies. However, they did not stop slowly walking towards the two.

"You want some? Come and get it!" Rainbow put her hoofs out in a fighting position. All she got in return was some screeching sounds.

When Rainbow realized they wouldn't stop, she landed a punch on one of them.

The pony who she punched, turned into a pile of packing snow.

Rainbow looked at what just occurred. "Snow? These ponies are made out of snow?"

Rainbow started to plow through the other ponies who were made out of snow. The turquoise pony took the memo and decided to help. She started to buck and hit the snow abominations.

When all the 'snow' was back on the ground, Rainbow turned to the other pegasus mare. "Go! Get out of here!"

The pegasus nodded and flew away.

Rainbow heard somepony else yell and saw Fluttershy by the restaurant getting cornered by some more snow ponies. She was about to go help her when she heard Scootaloo yell to her across from Fluttershy. She too, was getting surrounded.

"Okay, Scootaloo has less of those things, but she can't defend herself well. Fluttershy can defend herself, but there's too much of them for her to handle." Rainbow gulped and thought to herself, "Fluttershy, or Scootaloo? Scootaloo, or Fluttershy? Fluttershy, or Scootaloo?! Scootaloo, or Fluttershy?! FLUTTERSHY, OR SCOOTALOO?! SCOOTALOO OR FLUTTERSHY?! FLUTTERSHY, OR SCOOTALOO?! SCOOTALOO OR FLUTTERSHY?!"

Rainbow started to sweat. "Who do I save?"
