Rainbow wakes Doug in his second favorite manner as her lips caress his. She hesitantly pulls back; she wants to keep going but knows they have to head back home. The rest of her herd has already left, taking Scootaloo and the other two foals with them. Rainbow shivers slightly as she pushes to her hooves, no longer pressing against Doug's body. The cold winter air doesn't affect her as much as Doug and she can see the human absentmindedly rub his arms. She offers a hoof and he accepts, the two of them starting the walk back to the farmhouse.

Rainbow deliberates over challenging Doug to another race, but decides against it; while she knows her stallion will do anything to make her happy she just doesn't have the heart right now. She continues her plodding pace before taking to the air, hovering next to Doug as he continues walking along in silence. Her gaze wanders to the snow covered trees, thinking of the upcoming Winter Wrap Up. She is still a little bummed about not being chosen as weather team lead but knows that Cloud Kicker will do an adequate job.

She briefly pauses when Doug disappears from her peripheral vision, glancing over to where he was standing. A smirk crosses her muzzle as she dodges his first snowball, sticking her tongue out and closing her eyes. A moment later she dodges again, her eyes still shut and exclaims, "Hah! You couldn't hit the broad side of a-" but is momentarily silenced as a third snowball impacts her muzzle. "Oh, it is on!" she yells, flying to the top of one of the nearby trees and scooping snow in her hooves. She wings two snowballs at Doug, who takes cover behind a nearby tree before a barrage of snowballs impact her from the side.

Rainbow whirls around to see Pinkie Pie standing off in the distance. She is spinning a large snowball with one hoof while her goofy grin spreads across her muzzle. Rainbow yells as she darts behind her tree, "I call Applejack and Rarity!" She glances around to see where Doug is before dodging back as a snowball passes in front of her.

"Hold on, Rainbow, we're almost to ya!" Applejack rounds the corner, pushing her hooves deep into the snow before throwing a wave of snow into the air. A blue aura surrounds the snow, packing it into a rough barricade as Rarity careens around the side, diving for cover as a hail of snowballs follow her.

"I can't believe I get talked into these things," Rarity mutters as she gathers herself behind the wall, "This snow is going to wreck havoc on my mane!" She levitates several of the snowballs that Applejack is making, peeking around the side to try to spot one of her targets. A snowball whizzes past her muzzle and she exclaims, "That nearly hit me! And in the muzzle! Oh... It. Is. ON!" She sees Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle making their way towards her fort but gasps as she sees Doug dart from his tree cover. He quickly bounds over to the two foals struggling to make their way through the snow and grabs them, lifting them easily into his arms. They both give a happy shriek as he turns, making his way back to the fort Fluttershy and Pinkie are crafting, Scootaloo just behind the yellow pegasus.

Rarity yells, "He has the foals! After him!" and lets loose a swift barrage of snowballs. Doug dodges the first few but gets hit on the side of the head. He falters, tossing the foals out from under him as his body impacts the snow. He lays out as Pinkie jumps forward, managing to pick up both foals and run back human style to the opposing fort.

Applejack appears at Rarity's side, twirling a rope in her teeth. She throws it out, lassoing Doug's feet and dragging the human back towards their side. He playfully struggles, yelling, "You'll never take me alive!" as Applejack relentlessly pulls him behind the walls of their fort. Rarity sees Pinkie Pie dive behind their fort and pass the foals to Fluttershy. Pinkie climbs to the top of their fort wall while making a silly face at the foals. She then turns back, readying several snowballs and giving a victory shout.

Soon enough Doug is hog tied and sitting behind the fort wall, the piece of rope in his mouth disguising his happy expression. Applejack looks to Rainbow and Rarity, regrouped and huddling next to her. Rainbow looks to her lead, "Alright, I'm going in after them! You all follow me!" She starts to dash off but Applejack grabs onto her tail, yanking her back.

As Rainbow massages her tail Applejack says, "No, they'll be expecting that. We'll try talking to them, maybe they'll be happy ending this peaceful-like."

Doug laughs through the rope as Rarity stands up, speaking loudly, "We know neither of us want this. Give up the foals and we can all go home tonight!"

Laughter can be heard from the opposite fort, prompting Rainbow to say, "Can we go with my plan now?"

Applejack scowls, "Alright Rainbow, we'll follow you in. Rarity, go for the foals."

Rainbow takes to the sky as Applejack charges the left side of the fort, Rarity going right. As they round the sides they see Fluttershy cowering, holding her hooves above her head. The foals can be seen scampering away, each going in a different direction. Rainbow swoops down, gathering Scootaloo and Apple Bloom before flying back to her base. Rarity chases after Sweetie Belle, gently tackling the foal and nuzzling her.

Applejack nudges Fluttershy, who looks up at her, the pegasus whimpering, "Um, I'll go peacefully. Please don't tie me up."

Applejack sighs, "It's okay Fluttershy, we're just playing." They both get up, slowly making their way back to the fort. Rainbow lands, setting Apple Bloom and Scootaloo next to Pinkie Pie, who is tied up next to Doug. Rarity arrives soon after, Sweetie Belle happily riding on her back. The mares gather up, congratulating each other on their hard fought victory.

Rainbow looks back after their hug ends, "Wait, who captured Pinkie Pie?"

Pinkie Pie and Doug leap to their feet, Pinkie yelling "Cupcaaaakes!" while Doug shouts, "Freeeedoooom!"

Doug tackles Rainbow while Pinkie charges Applejack, wrapping the startled mare with her hooves. Doug and Rainbow roll around in the snow while Fluttershy moves over to Rarity, a hoof lightly tapping the surprised mare on her horn. "Um, I got you. If that's okay with you." Rarity giggles and sinks to her hooves, the two watching the other four wrestle.

After several minutes Doug has Rainbow tightly wrapped in his arms while Applejack has Pinkie Pie tied up. The two look at each other before Doug asks, "So, do we call this a draw?"

Applejack laughs, "Sure, partner. You ready to head in?"

Doug grunts loudly as he gets to his feet, hefting Rainbow to his shoulder. Rainbow lets go of Doug to raise her forelegs in the air as Scootaloo bounds towards them. The foal also stops, raising her forelegs in the air as well. Her tiny wings beat furiously but overbalances, falling backwards on the snow. She gives a cry, rolling to her side as Doug moves over, taking a knee and scooping the foal in his free arm. He passes her to Rainbow before standing back up and slowly trudging through the packed snow.

The herd arrives back at the farmhouse, each mare brushing the snow off of themselves and their respective foals. Doug sets Rainbow and Scootaloo down before removing his winter garb and sitting down on the couch. Pinkie Pie heads to the kitchen before returning with a tray of hot chocolate, passing a glass to each mare before sitting down next to Doug. She gives him a quick peck on the cheek, saying to the slightly startled human, "I really, really enjoyed today. I'm sorry about your foals, but I think you all will do a fabulous job raising them." She nuzzles Doug again, passing him the last glass before cuddling up next to him.

Rainbow sits on the other side of Doug, rolling over and looking expectantly at her stallion. She smiles as he scratches her belly with one hand and sips his hot chocolate with the other. Rarity positions herself between his legs, her magic levitating a brush through her damp mane. Once Doug finishes his hot chocolate he takes the brush and Rarity leans back further, the light from her horn winking out.

Applejack and Fluttershy take the sleeping foals to the foal's room, tucking each one in bed. They return, sitting next to the couch, sipping on their hot chocolate, and watching Doug as he brushes Rarity's coat. Several minutes pass before Pinkie says to the assembled group, "Well, it's been fun! I've got to head back to Sugarcube, lots of parties to plan!"

Rarity also gets to her hooves, saying, "I too need to return. Pinkie, would you like to walk back with me?"

Pinkie gives several large nods before she pronks out the door, Rarity waving at the gathered mares before leaving herself.
