The grandchildren of Luna and Sombra were having fun in the snow, since it was wintertime in Canterlot. Shining Shield, Hurricane, and Golden Arrow were having a toboggan race, Screwball and Apple Jewel were building a snow pony, Gemstone and Starling were having a snow ball fight with Sprinkle Pie, suddenly, a voice cried out, which was Applejack's
Applejack: Kids, it's time to come in
The kids simultaneously groaned, but obeyed as they made their way into the kitchen, where their mothers were waiting for them with a tray of hot chocolate, they were each handed a cup and looked to see the number of tiny marshmallows in them, Gemstone frowned when comparing the marshmallows in her cocoa to her brother's
Gemstone: Hey, how come you have more than me
Golden Arrow shrugged: I don't know, maybe because I'm older
Gemstone angerly: That's not fair
They started to bicker
Rarity: Stop it
Both of her children faced her
Rarity: It doesn't matter who has the most marshmallows, Gemstone, what matters is that you both have something to drink that's warm after being out on a cold day like today

Twinkle Star: What do you mean, Mommy

The girls were young fillies with cutie marks, they were running down the castle steps giggling away
Rainbow Dash: You can't catch me, Applejack
Applejack: Oh, yeah
She managed to tackle her sister down, the two laughed
Rarity: You two should be more careful, you almost knocked me down
Pinkie Pie jumped: Aw, I love being knocked to the ground after a tackle
Fluttershy meekly: Oh, but what would have happened if you got hurt
Twilight: It really is dangerous to tackle each other on stairs
Rainbow Dash: Lighten up, Twi, we were only a few steps from the floor
Rarity moved ahead: Hurry up, I don't want to be late and have Mother mad at us because we're late
Fluttershy whimpered: Oh, I don't want Mother mad at us
Twilight: Me neither
