Sweety Bell was snuggled under the comforter, her muzzle tucked under her pillow. The moon was out and the night was cool, and the window was open, it's curtains fluttering in the warm breeze. Wait... A warm breeze? It was cold tonight. Sweety Bell lept to her hooves and looked at the window through the shadow. In the orange, flickering glow of torches, Big Macintosh, Applejack, and a saddened Applebloom's faces were visible. Applebloom mouthed "I'm sorry" and Applejack looked at her funny, then looked at the window. Seeing Sweety Bell, she tapped Big Mac and they both galloped to a whinnie as the flames climbed upward.

They started doing what Ponyville did, only, because everything is bigger in Canterlot, it much more upper scale. Even the most elegant cities were burned, destroyed, or covered in graffiti. Later, things got much worse. It increased to a high level. An anarchy rebellion level...
