My Little Frozen

Chapter 10

Back in Canterlot, the ponies were huddling around weak fires as they tried to keep warm. Two unicorns named Claude and Fancy Pants were fighting over a woodpile. "No. No. You got the bark facing down." Claude said turning the top piece of wood on the woodpile face up. "The bark needs to be face-up!" "Bark down is drier!" Fancy Pants said turning the wood face-down. "Bark up!" Claude said. "Bark down!" Fancy Pants said. "Bark up!" Claude said. While the unicorns were arguing with each other, Golden Crown gathered some wood, and gave them to Rarity. Like a light in the dark, Prince Blueblood moved through the crowd as he passed the cloak to the ponies. "Cloak. Does anypony need a cloak?" Prince Blueblood asked. "Canterlot is indebted to you, your highness." A unicorn named Sunny Flare said taking some cloaks. "The castle is open." Prince Blueblood said. "There's soup and hot glogg in the great hall." He gave the stack of cloaks to a pony guard, and said "Here. Pass these out." As the pony guard began to pass the cloaks out, Cranky Doodle Donkey approached Prince Blueblood with Flim and Flam following him, and said "Prince Blueblood, are we just expected to sit here and freeze while you give away all of Canterlot's tradable goods?!"

"Princess Sunset Shimmer has given her orders, and-." Prince Blueblood tried to say but Cranky Doodle Donkey interrupted him, and said "And that's another thing! Has it dawned on you that your princess may be conspiring with a wicked unicorn sorceress to destroy us all?!" "Do not question the princess." Prince Blueblood said getting angry. "She left me in charge, and I will not hesitate to protect Canterlot from treason!" "Treason?!" Cranky Doodle said feeling flabbergasted, and offended. Suddenly, the ponies heard Colgate running as she came back without Sunset Shimmer, and said "Help! Somepony help me!" Prince Blueblood ran up to her, and said "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, girl! Easy. Easy." "Colgate's back." Lyra Heartstrings said. "What happened to Sunset Shimmer?" An earth pony named Octavia Melody asked. "Where is she?" Another earth pony named Sugarcoat asked. "She's still in the mountain." Colgate said feeling guilty about leaving Sunset Shimmer. Prince Blueblood looked at the mountain as he began to worry. He turned to the ponies, and said "Princess Sunset Shimmer is in trouble. I need volunteers to go with me to find her!" As some ponies volunteered, Crank Doodle Donkey said "I volunteer, Flim and Flam, my lord." He turned to Flim and Flam, and said "Be prepared for anything, and should you encounter Twilight Sparkle the princess, you are put an end to this winter. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir." Flim and Flam said at the same time.

-Meanwhile at the North Mountain-

As Sunset Shimmer, Sunset Glare, Winona, and Spike moved through the hostile terrain, Sunset Glare said "So, how are you planning to stop this winter?" "Oh, I am gonna talk to my sister." Sunset Shimmer said feeling confident. "That's your plan?" Sunset Glare asked. "My ice business is riding on you talking to your sister." "Yup." Sunset Shimmer said. Sunset Glare quickly stopped walking when he ended up with an ice-spike to the nose. He moved carefully around the spike as he said "So you're not at all afraid of her?" "Why would I be?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yeah." Spike said becoming oblivious. "I bet Twilight's the nicest, gentlest, warmest pony ever." He backed into an icicle, and it ran through his torso as he said "Oh, look at that. I've been impaled." He laughed it off, and pulled himself together. Later on, they hit what looked like a dead end. The face of the mountain went straight up. "What now?" Sunset Shimmer asked. As Sunset Glare dug into his sack, he said "It's too steep. I've only got one rope, and you don't know how to climb mountains. "Says who?" Sunset Shimmer as she started to climb the mountain. Winona nudged Sunset Glare, and he looked up to see Sunset Shimmer trying to climb the cliff's flat face.

Finding her ridiculous, Sunset Glare said "What are you doing?" "I'm going to see my sister." Sunset Shimmer said straining herself. "You're going to kill yourself." Sunset Glare said as he watch the princess searching for hoofholds. "I wouldn't put my hoof there." "You're distracting me." Sunset Shimmer struggling to climb, but keeps slipping. "Or there." Sunset Glare said. "How do you know Twilight even wants to see you?" "I'm just blocking you out cause I gotta concentrate here." Sunset Shimmer said as she struggled to climb the cliff. "You know, most ponies who disappear into the mountains want to be alone." Sunset Glare said. "Nopony wants to be alone." Sunset Shimmer said. "Except maybe you." "I'm not alone." Sunset Glare said. "I have friends, remember?" As Sunset Shimmer kicked a hoof above her head to catch a hoof hold, she said "You mean the love experts?" "Yes, the love experts!" Sunset Glare said. When Sunset Shimmer realized that she's stuck, she said "Please tell me I'm almost there." She didn't realize that she was only about six feet up as her muscles shook. "Does the air seem thin to you up here?" Sunset Glare smiled while getting a kick out of Sunset Shimmer. "Hang on." He said as took his rope from his bag. Then Spike stepped out from behind a rock and waved to Sunset Glare as he said "Hey, Winona?" Not sure if this is going to solve the problem, but I found a staircase that leads exactly where you want it to go."
