Winter, an excellent time to spend with family, friends and reinforce their bond of love and that is exactly what our protagonists are doing, having a good time with those they love.

6 adult mares, a baby dragon and three fillies were next to a clearing that was beautiful in summer but because of the freezing temperatures it is now frozen so they were using it to skate and hang out.

"Sweetie Belle, dear, you want to stay still so I can put your skates on your hooves" - Said the dressmaker mare known as Rarity, complaining to her little sister.

"I'm sorry sister, it's just that I can't wait any longer to be able to skate, maybe we can get an ice skating cutie mark, can you imagine? It would be great" - Chatted an excited filly trying to stay still for her older sister to put her on. Skates.

"I know dear but if you don't stay still you won't be able to go" - Said the mare a little irritated. When I finally managed to put them on, she let her little sister free her magic grip and go with her friends to skate happily and from time to time I observe them checking their flanks and checking if a mark appeared.

"They look happy don't they Rares?" - A field mare named Applejack asked her dressmaker friend and watching her little sister skate, a filly about Sweetie Belle's age named Apple Bloom.

"Quite a bit, it's like they never get tired of looking for adventures and with them problems but the truth is that I wouldn't know what I would do without my little Sweetie Belle chattering from here to there" - Rarity said.

"You are very right, I hope we are all together always" - Applejack pronounced.

"HELLO GIRLS, what are you doing?" - Asked an enthusiastic pink mare named Pinkie Pie coming out of a nearby tree.

"We only take care of the girls Pinkie" - The cowgirl replied.

"Oki-doki-loki" - And the party pony ran into the clearing with the fillies.

"Since I arrived in Ponyville I have been surprised by Pinkie's agility to handle those skates on the ice and not fall" - Said an Alicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle, recently a princess of equestria, approaching them along with Fluttershy, a shy Pegasus and Spike , a baby dragon and Twilight's # 1 assistant.

"Yes haha, all of us at the time come to surprise or scare us with the things it does but over time you get used to some of them" - I pronounce another Pegasus raised in the sky near them to be heard, this Pegasus had a rainbow mane and tail and was known as Rainbow Dash.

The mane, the little dragon and now Pinkie who had returned from skating, kept talking about various things.

"And how are things going with the event that Princess Celestia asked you to be Twilight" - Asked Applejack.

"Well, I have been doing the last adjustments and paperwork that Celestia told me that there should be and the issues that are going to be carried out, although I am missing a few things and I only have 2 days left to prepare everything, but I know that with the help of Spike we are going to achieve it, right Spike? - Said the Princess.

"Of course Twi, your # 1 assistant is here to support you" - Proudly pronounced the little purple and green dragon.

"Thanks for the help Spike, you are the best" - Twilight thanked with a smile.

"Do not worry Twi, it is not a bother, apart from how I am going to accompany you I can see in passing the costumes that Rarity made for Cadence, Luna and you that I am sure are an excellent and beautiful job" - The enamored Dragon pronounced.

"Awww, you are a sweetheart my dear Spikey-Wikey, although if you are right dear, they have been one of my best works and nothing less than for three of the four princesses of Equestria" - The dressmaker said excited and proud of her work.

"The truth is, Rarity, the dresses you made for us are beautiful, apart from if I'm not mistaken, Cadence asked you to please make her the traditional hairstyle of the empire again, right?" - Recognized and asked the Princess of friendship.

"Right dear, it's an honor that you asked me for things like that, ponies of such a high level as you princesses" - said Rarity.

"Don't say those things Rarity, it's your hard work that keeps you where you are and it's to be admired" - Twilight said.

"I really appreciate your compliments darling" - Said the dressmaker.

Until Applejack turned back to the pond and noticed that the fillies were no longer there and instead were only their skates in the snow outside the clearing.

Alerting the others they went to where the skates were but they only found small footprints in the snow heading and entering the trees that surrounded them, without a doubt they were the footprints of the fillies so the 7 walked in the direction of the footprints but they could not find the little ones.

"Are they nowhere to be seen?" - Asked the cowgirl to the others.

"No, from up here you can't see much with the snow starting to fall faster and faster" - The cyan Pegasus pronounced a few meters away from the ground without being able to see much more than a few meters away.

Until they heard movement and thinking that they were the little ones, they ran towards where the sound was coming from but the only thing they found were 6 rough and strong looking stallions, 3 Unicorns, 2 Pegasi and 1 Terrestrial pony and the 3 unconscious fillies in the snow with a little blood coming out of their manes most likely due to a blow that caused their unconsciousness.

Seeing that, the mares and the dragon tried to protect themselves and save the fillies but they only managed to be disabled by the stallions either by a blow or some spell cast by the unicorns.

"What did they do to the girls!" - growled the cyan Pegasus to the stallions.

"Leave them miserable, they are just girls" - Applejack growled in the same way at the abusers.

"Do not worry about anything beautiful mares, my men and I have a place waiting for you in our lair, so just relax and cooperate" - One of the Unicorns pronounced and gesturing to the others they knocked out the mares and the little dragon .

The last thing they felt was a sharp pain in the side of their head and then ... darkness.
