The Return of the Ice Queen

          Rainbow Dash glared at Snowfrost who had a sadistic grin on her face. She spat at her and said,

"Buck you." Immediately she got smacked in the cheek by the coldest hoof ever. Fleetwind hissed at her,

"Be respectful of the Empress, pony." She heard Snowfrost say

"Fleetwind, she's a 'guest'. Show at least SOME restraint. Crystal-light, you may show Loyalty to her room." Rainbow said,

"My name is Rainbow Dash." It fell on deaf ears as Snowfrost headed for a different room, talking with Fleetwind. A sweet looking windigoe mare with a purple mane and tail and bright teal eyes. She said in an airy, joyful voice

"Come this way please. I think you'll like the room, it was once occupied by Sir Frostwind!" Rainbow Dash didn't say anything while Crystal-light led the way through a maze of corridors, prattling about famous windigoes Rainbow had never even heard of. Finally they came to a room that Crystal-light opened. Just then Rainbow realized she hadn't gotten the least cold here other than when she was smacked

She interrupted Crystal-light by saying,

"Woah hey, how come I'm not cold?" Crystal-light said

"Because Fleetwind put a spell on you while bringing you here." She opened the door and Rainbow Dash looked on in bewilderment. A bed was made of clouds with a purple cloud blanket, there was a closet that showed some outfits that Rainbow found herself actually liking. A bookshelf with books on Daring Do and the Wonderbolts, plus one HUGE book on Windigoe History. She said,

"Cool. How did whoever made the room know what I liked?" Crystal-light said

"Oh, just the last guest here known as the Lady Cloud-Frost liked to many pony books and history. If you need me, just ring the bell over there on the table. Now, dinner is at six and if you want to know about some entertainment afterwards. See you soon!" Crystal-light left and Rainbow felt her eyes starting to water. She mentally scolded herself and forced herself to grab a Daring Do book off the shelf and start reading, feeling an intense hatred for Snowfrost.

Fluttershy was comforting a distressed Scootaloo who was brought to Canterlot to learn what had happened to Rainbow Dash. She was sobbing as Fluttershy rubbed her back, whispering comforting words. Scootaloo asked in a choked sob

"Who... who took her?" Fluttershy said

"An alicorn named Snowfrost." Scootaloo cried

"I hate her! I hope she rots in Tartarus!" Fluttershy was shocked at the crude language coming from the filly but kept rubbing Scootaloo's back. She said

"Don't worry, we'll get her back. The princesses are working on it." Scootaloo sniffed and asked

"Promise?"

"Promise."
