The Gala

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The ponies were chatting and laughing in the castle. The Grand Galloping Gala was always a splendid time now, full of fun and chaos, thanks to Cheese Sandwich, Pinkie Pie, and Discord. Celestia smiled as she looked at her ponies enjoying themselves, when Twilight Sparkle came up and said "Hello Princess Celestia. How are you?"

Celestia smiled and responded  "Hello Twilight, I'm doing well. Do you know where my sister is?"

Twilight said "I think she is getting ready, after all this is her first time at the Gala instead of on duty. "

Celestia nodded before greeting ponies coming up the stairs, eager to say hello with the Princess of the Sun. Meanwhile, Rarity kept saying to Blue blood, who was following her around.

"Blue Blood, please stop following me!"

Blue blood said "But I love you now, Rarity!"

Just then his fur turned blue. Blue Blood screeched and ran away. Rarity smiled gratefully and said "Thank you Discord. I don't know why now he has set his sights on me."

Discord chuckled and said  Anything for a friend."

Fluttershy came up and asked "Discord, can we please dance now?"

They had been dating for a few months now and although her friends were not sure about the relationship, they still supported it. Discord nodded and took them to the dance floor. Applejack looked up surprise from her food cart to see Rainbow Dash walking over to her.

She asked "Why ain't ya dancing with that Sourin, sugarcube?"

Rainbow said, slightly sad "Well, Sourin is dating Spitfire so, yeah. But its cool. We both agreed to break up."

Applejack asked "But when were ya going to tell us, after cidar season?"

Rainbow said "Nah, tomorrow."

Applejack said "Well, ah sure am sorry, sugar."

Rainbow said "Don't be, it was for the best."


         Celestia was concerned as to why it was taking Luna so long to get ready, so she excused herself from the seemingly endless line of ponies. She went to Luna's room and knocked on the door, asking  "Luna, are you OK?"

A muffled groan was heard and Celestia charged in, only to see her sister now an ice statue. She muttered "Snowfrost," before a chuckle was heard as a mare said "That's my name, alright. Time for you to cool down."

Celestia felt herself going cold, turning into an ice statue, before blacking out.


             Cadence noticed a shadow behind her that was not Shining Armor's. They had left the Gala temporary to quiet down Flurryheart. Cadence whirled around and saw Queen Chrysalis. Chrysalis smiled and said  "It had been a long time, hasn't it?"

Cadence asked with fear "Where are Shining Armor and Flurryheart?"

Chrysalis smiled before stepping put of the way, revealing ice statues of the two, and a white alicorn that was not Princess Celestia.

Snowfrost said  "Its your turn, Love Princess."

Cadence's muffled scream was last thing she did before she was turned into ice.

Snowfrost said "And now for the encore to this 'tragic' event!"

Snowfrost laughed before heading for the door, all statues behind her caught in her aura, windigoe guards snickering before her.
