Instead of spectacular, it was snow-tacular! Instead of---" Spike started before a pony interrupted "We get it! Move on!" A pony in the crowd called out Then Cat Noir walked on stage angrily "Hey! Don't talk to Spike like that, he's doing his hardest!" Cat Noir said angrily Just then before there was a fight Ladybug went on stage and pulled Cat Noir off stage before shaking her head in anger before she went and got to her original spot and whispered "Go on Spike, what were you saying?" Ladybug asked in a whispering way Then Spike chuckled nervously before clearing his throat and when he did he talked in a british accent again "Everypony was forced to move to seek shelter, they searched high and low, but the only shelter for miles was a cold and desolate cave, and, of course, the three tribes had to share it and nobody was too happy about it" Spike explained [Back in the past] A lot later the 6 ponies found a cave and hid in it while they all glared or looked in worry "Please, Commander Hothead----" Rarity as Princess Platinum started "It's Commander Hurricane" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane corrected angrily Then Rarity aka Princess Platinum cleared her throat "Please, Commander, could you just step back and give me my royal space?" Rarity as Princess Platinum asked "You mean like this, your highness?" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane asked Then Rainbow as Commander Hurricane puts her hoof closer to Princess Platinum who then pushed it away in anger "Indeed not! You see this invisible line?" Rarity as Princess Platinum asked Then Rarity as Princess Platinum pointed to the ground between the two "Private, outline our territory for everypony to see" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane ordered as Fluttershy aka Private Pansy did so but slowly as Rainbow aka Commander Hurricane moved her slowly "See this real, non invisible line? No Unicorns or Pegasi are allowed to cross it! This is the sovereign territorry of Pegasopolis" Rainbow ordered "Clover the Clever?" Rarity as Princess Platinum called out "Smart Cookie!" Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead called out Then Applejack as Smart Cookie and Twilight as Clover the Clever moved to the opposite sides and moved lines too while Applejack said "I know, I know" Applejack as Smart Cookie said Just then Applejack as Smart Cookie and Twilight as Clover the Clever came to each other as they looked at each other in defeat before moving the opposite way as Fluttershy came across a roc as she moved a line around it to which Rainbow disagreed with "What are you doing?" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane asked angrily before zipping towards Fluttershy aka Private Pansy "I'm not giving up an inch of territory to the enemy" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane explained angrily "That rock is clearly on the Unicornia side of the cave and it belongs to us!" Rarity as Princess Platinum reminded angrily before whispering into Twilight aka Clover the Clever's ear "Who knows? There could be jewels inside" Rarity as Princess Platinum whispered "I claim this rock for Pegasopolis!" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane said angrily "Unhand that rock, you scoundrel!" Rarity as Princess Platinumordered Just then Pinkie zipped towards the Pegasopolis side and to the rock "Oh, look, you found my rock, I've been looking for it everywhere" Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead said happily Then Pinkie zipped back to the Earth side with the rock in her mouth "Hey! You invaded our territory!" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane called out "Finders keepers, losers weepers" Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead reminded "That's the last straw!" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane said angrily Then Rainbow as Commander Hurricane stepped into the Earth's territory and trotted to Pinkie which Rarity as Princess Platinum did too as Pinkie ran off with it "Give me my rock!" Rarity ordered Then Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead, Rainbow as Commander Hurricane and Rarity as Princess Platinum started a chase for the rock which Twilight as Clover the Clever faceslapped as before Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead approached her and made silly noises to which Rarity as Princess Platinum and Rainbow as Commander Hurricane did the same before the entrance started closing down and ice approached the 6 "Look, everypony! The entrance!" Twilight as Clover the Clever called out Then everypony checked the entrance only to see the entrance closing in causing the 6 to freak out in anger or worry "Great, now there's no way out! We're trapped!" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane said angrily "You two deserve this horrible fate, you've done nothing but argue and fight with each other!" Rarity as Princess Platinum said angrily "You've been fighting too, your highness" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane reminded angrily Then the three leaders went to stand by each of their helpers as Pinkie aka Chancellor Puddinghead started freezing into ice making Applejack aka Smart Cookie move backwards worriedly but the former didn't notice it making her continue arguing "Yeah! Worse! I haven't been fighting nearly as much as you!" Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead said angrily Just then Rarity as Princess Platinum and Rainbow as Commander Hurricane followed behind making Twilight as Clover the Clever and Fluttershy as Private Pansy do the same "How ridiculous! A Unicorn never stoops to fighting!" Rarity as Princess Platinum corrected angrily "That's just 'cause you wimpy Unicorns know you'd never win! Earth Ponies are numbskulls!" Rainbow as Commander Hurricane said angrily before being fully frozen "Pegasi are brutes!" Rarity as Princess Platinum said angrily before being fully frozen "Unicorns are snobs!" Pinkie as Chancellor Puddinghead sand angrily before being fully frozen When the three leader's got frozen both Twilight as Clover the Clever, Fluttershy as Private Pansy and Applejack as Smart Cookie went closer to the middle before hitting each other's backs making them yelp and turn around only to realize it was just them making them sigh in relief before hugging each other frightingly while yelling as they saw the Windigo's getting closer "W-W-What is that... Thing?" Fluttershy as Private Pansy asked worriedly "They must be... Windigo's" Twilight as Clover the Clever answered in shock "Windigo's?" Applejack as Smart Cookie and Fluttershy as Private Pansy gasped in shock "My mentor Star Swirl the Bearded taught me about them, they're winter spirits that feed off fighting and hatred, the more hate the spirit feels the colder things become!" Twilight as Clover the Clever explained worriedly "Then... This is our fault, we three tribes... we brought this blizzard to our home by fightin' and not trustin' each other, now it's destroyin' this land, too" Applejack as Smart Cookie said in sadness Then the trio went closer to each other "And now our bodies will become as cold as our hearts... All because we were foolish enough to hate" Twilight as Clover the Cleversaid in defeat "Well, I don't hate you... I actually hate Commander Hurricane a lot more than I hate you guys" Fluttershy as Private Pansy said Then Twilight as Clover the Clever and Applejack as Smart Cookie laughed in agreement as Fluttershy could only smile and chuckle a bit "Actuzlly, I don't really hate her, I just really really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really dislike her" Fluttershy corrected But what the trio didn't know was that they were turning into ice as they all laugh in friendship "Well, I don't hate you guys either" Applejack as Smart Cookie said "Nor do I" Twilight as Clover the Clever said in agreement While they were talking the Windigo's were struggling to keep the ice going on "No matter what our differences are, we're all ponies" Applejack as Smart Cookie reminded Just then the trio laid their heads on each other as the ice went over their heads and towards Twilight aka Clover the Clever's horn and just when all hope was lost Twilight aka Clover the Clever uses her last piece of strength to push the Windigo's away and into smithereens before a hot purple heart appeared "What was that?" Fluttershy as Private Pansy asked in worry and shock "I didn't know Unicorns coould do that" Applejack as Smart Cookie said in shock "I didn't either" Twilight as Clover the Clever said in agreement before she started an explanation "Nothing like this has ever happened before, but I know it couldn't have been just me, it came from all three of us, joined together, in friendship" Twilight explained happily as she stood back up Then Twilight pulled out her hoof to which Applejack and Fluttershy put their hooves on top Then Spike started talking again "All through the night, the three ponies kept the fire of friendship alive by telling stories to one another and by singing songs, which of course became the winter carols that we all still sing today" Spike explained as scenes of that happened before the snow started to thaw "Eventually, the warmth of the fire and singing and laughing reached the leader, and their bodies began to thaw" Spike explained as then the ice wall of the entrance melted and disappeared as the 6 ponies went outside as the sun shone brightly in the sky making everypony smile in happiness and awe before they made their way back and made a new flag pole which is the new flag where past Celestia and Luna were on "The three leaders agreed to share the beautiful land and live in harmony ever afterwards and together they named their new land" Spike started [Back in the Present] After setting the pole on the stand they stared at it in awe before turning to the others "Equestria!" The Mane Six yelled out Then the audience cheered as Cat Noir puts on the music before he and Ladybug went on stage as they along with the Mane Six, Spike and the audience began to sing
