	I kept my eyes closed, enjoying the snow with Scootaloo. We had just finished sledding down a fairly large hill, I had rolled off of the sled, and landed in a snow drift.

I lifted my head and looked left, where Scoots had her back turned to me. "Hey what are you do-" I started before a lump of snow landed in my face. "Hey, where did you learn to make a snowball? Even I have trouble with it." I asked, wondering how hooves had been able to form a cube.

"Nowhere..." she said, dodging the question. After a few hours of a snowball fight, we returned home.

"Well, I'm going to start dinner, Vegetable stew." I chimed, but only got a loud thud as a response, I skidded out of the kitchen, towards the room where the sound came from. A bright pink pit, the size of a door was on the floor, along with some orange feathers. I felt that maybe she had fallen in, or was dragged in.

"Hold on Scootaloo! I'm coming!" I yelled, diving in. I was greeted by falling on a tiled floor. I looked up, and saw four pairs of white hooves, leading to two unhappy looking royal guards. Then, two spears pointed at my face, followed by a tingling full body sensation.

Next thing I knew, I was in shackles before The one and only: Princess Celestia. I had a bronygasm incoming, but managed to hold it back. She looked displeased. She waved her hoof and the guards left the room. It was just me and her and we both stayed silently, until Scootaloo barged in. She had tears in her eyes.

I ran up to her, and held her, giving her assurance. 

"Dad, they-they said that-that" She started before I hushed her.

"Scoots, you have to be strong. You have to shoot skywards and don't look back." I started as guards walked in. They dragged us apart.

"Scoots!" I yelled, then looked to the guard holding me. "Let go of me!" I said as I broke free and ran to Scootaloo. More guards came in, and tackled me. I struggled under the weight of the stallions, but couldn't escape in time.

The massive doors closed, and all was silent besides my grunts. The guards piled off, with a displeased Celestia staring me down.

"Tell me, what is your name?" She asked.

"Tanner." I replied.

"Tanner..." she said, trying it out.

"Well, Tanner, you are charged of kidnapping." She said softly, giving bad news with a smile.
