Chapter 7

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The hall was still full of ponies. Still all dancing, chatting and laughing. Among those were the Royal Sisters, who talked along with a couple of other ponies. The youngest, and newest alicorn of Equestria chatted with several other ponies. A couple of which she knew. The rest of the bearers of Harmony split and walked around the hall. The butterscotch pegasus stood beside the newly coronated, as she bowed to others. Also, the amber farm pony and the white pearl unicorn gossiped among themselves.

However, as a certain pink mare pushed through the crowd, with the Prince in tow, the fashionista mare gasped.

"My word!" She coughed, grabbing her friend's attention.

"Wha?" The apple mare asked, completely confused.

"Pinkie Pie, dear, is with...with that revolting Prince Blueblood." Rarity snorted.

"Ya mean tha stinkin' stallion from tha Gala?"

"Yes, and look." Rarity pointed to the pink party pony as she giggled along with the stallion. "I don't know what she's doing, but she better not be fooled by him."

"Ah don' know, he might have changed." Applejack yawned.

"Pttf. As if." The unicorn laughed, remembering faintly her experience with the Prince.

~~~

"Oops! Pardon. Sorry." The bubbly rose mare apologised as she dragged the stallion towards her friend, the new Queen.
"Can we just get around you there? Thank you." She sheepishly smiled as she tried to get around a large, very large, stallion.
"Oh, there she is. Dashie!" She called.

The cyan mare turned around and smiled gently to her friend.
"Hello, Pinkie." She smiled as her friend awkwardly curtseyed.

"I mean...Queen Dashie...Me again." Pinkie Pie squeaked.
"Um. May I present Prince Blueblood Of Canterlot." She pointed to the stallion beside her.

"Your majesty." Blueblood said as he bowed to the newly crowned Queen. Rainbow gave a polite, yet reserved curtsey to the Prince. Trying to remember where she has heard of him before.

"We would like--" Pinkie giggled.

"--Your blessing--" Blue continued as the two held hooves.

"--Of--"

"--Our marriage!" They grinned. Beaming as the held each other close. The rest of her friends standing slightly beside them, all holding confused looks.

"Marriage...?" Rainbow Dash muttered, clearly confused over the whole thing.

"Yes!" Pinkie beamed.

"I'm sorry. I'm confused." Rainbow placed a hoof to her forehead.

"Well, we haven’t worked out all the details ourselves. We’ll need a few days to plan the ceremony. Of course we’ll have soup, roast vegetables, and ice cream and then-- Wait. Would we live in Ponyville, Canterlot, or shall we live here?" The baker blabbered on, her 'fiancé' nodding along.

"Here?" Rainbow repeated.

"Absolutely!" Blueblood smiled.
"This place is amazing! And I hope you wouldn't mind us staying here."

"Pinkie-" The pegasus began before her friend interjected.

"Oh, shall we invite the whole of your family?" Pinkie squealed. Hanging onto the stallions fore-leg.

"What? No, no, no, no, no." The cyan mare shook her head, but was completely ignored by her friend.

"Of course we have the room. I don’t know. Some of them must--

"Wait. Slow down. No one’s family is staying here. No one is getting married." Rainbow Dash finally interrupted. Pinkie's smile dropped.

"Wait, what?"

"May I talk to you, please. Alone." Rainbow asked, gulping.

Pinkie glanced up to her newly found love, hooking fore-legs with him as the stood their ground in front of the Queen. The group of their friends holding worried expressions as they stood beside them. The Royal Sisters also stood beside the group of young ponies, concerned for the three ponies.

"Fine. You can’t marry a stallion you just met." Rainbow said bluntly, raising her head.

"You can if it’s true love." Pinkie defended.

"Pinkie, what do you know about true love?" The pegasus Queen hushed.

"More than you. All you know is how to shove it back in other ponies faces." Pinkie replied back, snorting at the pegasus. Rainbow blinked several times, taking a step back. She thought for a couple of seconds, before looking sternly at the pink earth pony.

"You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now, excuse me." Rainbow began to slowly walk away, not noticing that her snowflake charm had swung out over her cloak. Clearly visible to everyone who saw it.

"Your Majesty, if I may ease your--" Prince Blueblood started.

"No, you may not. And I-I think you should go." She stuttered, clearly flustered. As she walked away, she turned to the Royal Handler.
"The party is over. Close the gates." Dash ordered.

"What? Dashie, no. No, wait!" She begged grabbing onto the collar of her friend's cloak. But, her hoof slipped. Grasping onto the chain of the charm instead. As the Queen walked away, Pinkie pulled it, snapping the chain.
Rainbow gasped as she turned around. Reaching for the charm.

"Give me my necklace!" She begged, as Pinkie held it away from her.

"Dashie, please. Please. You can’t live like this. Away from everypony. We can't see you like this." Pinkie Pie whimpered. Rainbow stood in silence, watching her friends upset expression. The cyan mare felt like she was on the verge of tears. Knowing that she was a danger to them.

"...Then leave." She whispered weakly. As Rainbow Dash glanced at her best friend's hurt expression, she turned away as she couldn't take any-more. Rushing away as she felt her hooves growing colder.

Pinkie watched as her closest friend walked away.
"...What did we ever do to you?!" She demanded, shouting. As her yells echoed around, the party grew silent as everypony watched the two ponies.

"Enough, Pinkie." Rainbow hushed, holding her hoof to her chest as she could feel the cold growing.

"No. Why? Why must you shut us out?!" Pinkie Pie yelled.
"Why must you shut your friends out?! What are you so afraid of?!" She demanded. Not seeing the frustration growing in the pegasus mare.

"I said," Rainbow Dash started, rising onto her back legs.
"ENOUGH!!" She screamed. Slamming down onto the floor in a fit of rage. As she did, a layer of ice slithered around, trailing from her hooves. Giant spikes of ice shot out of the ice. Making the crowd of ponies stumble back and gasp in shock.

However, the ice did not stop. The crowd parted as the ice still continued to glide across the floor. Until it reached the two elder alicorns. Who did not move in time as the ice reached their hooves. The two alicorns tried moving their hooves, which were stuck in the ice. Yet, as they struggled, the ice began to quickly cover their body. Everypony watched, shocked and stunned as they watched their two rulers become coated by a layer of ice.

"Oh no." Rainbow croaked, as the ice finally covered the alicorns. Freezing them in the positions they last stood. Their expressions of shock and confusion frozen. The ice glimmering in the artificial light.

As the two Princesses were completely frozen in ice, everypony turned to the pegasus. Who gulped as she shakily stood by the door.

Fancypants leapt behind two of his guard ponies.
"Treason! She murdered the Princesses!! Somepony grab her!" He shouted.

The bearers of Harmony looked at Rainbow with a concerned and scared expression. Rainbow Dash gulped as she shakily reached for the door handle.

"Dashie...?" Pinkie muttered before Rainbow swung the door open, and galloped off down the corridor. Leaving a room full of confused, scared and shocked ponies, and two frozen alicorn mares.

Author's Notes:

Next chapter. One of my favourite bits.

Another chapter in the same day?! This chapter was easier as it's a scene with no song. Also, if you're wondering why I froze Luna and Celestia, it's because;
1- Gets them out of the picture.
2- Makes Twilight more important later on

And, here's a note. Rainbow's ice power can not be changed by pegasi or unicorn magic. It's an unusual magic that can only be controlled by the owner.
And (again), Cadence is not here. I'll mention it later but due to the sudden Winter, the Crystal Empire is stuck. Blocked off by the snow and ice. As it's unchangeable by other magic, Cadence is stuck in her castle.

Make sense? I hope so.
