A purple unicorn was trotting down the road. She was extremely frustrated. Whenever the ponies of Ponyville had a problem, they would go to the Mayor. When the Mayor couldn't solve it, she went to her.
"Twilight Sparkle this and Twilight Sparkle that. Honestly, I should be Mayor."
The Mayor had recently come by with a complaint about noise pollution coming from Fluttershys' house. She couldn't possibly imagine why except for a new pet or another one of her cooking attempts. She also noticed some of the houses were wet, even though it hadn't rained in the past few days.
Twilight walked up to the house and knocked on the door. "Fluttershy! It's me, Twilight! I need to talk to you!" She heard a small voice from behind the house. "I'm in the yard!" Twilight rolled her eyes. She walked around back. "Fluttershy, what are you doing-"
Twilight looked up in surprise at the giant dog.
The giant three-headed dog.
"FLUTTERSHY! What are you doing?" The yellow pegasus didn't bother looking up. She was busy rubbing the guard dogs tummy. "I'm just comforting this poor creature." Twilight shook off the amazement. "Does Princess Celestia know?" Fluttershy shrugged. "If she did, she's not complaining." Twilight looked around frantically. "WHY is it HERE, and not at TARTARUS?" Suddenly Cerberus growled lowly. "He says it was getting too hot." Twilight put her hoof on her face. "Tell him he should be GUARDING TARTARUS even if it was HIGH NOON during the SUMMER!" Fluttershy relayed the message slowly. Twilight slowly listened at what she thought was a response.
Fluttershy turned to Twilight. "He says it wasn't that kind of hot. He says it was coming from Tartarus itself." Twilight groaned. "How?" Fluttershy again relayed the message. Twilight tapped her hoof impatiently for its' response.
"I'm not sure what he just said." Twilight sighed. "Tell me." Fluttershy tapped her chin. "He said 'Its' never been so hot. I can't stop it. Only the Frozen Gate can.'"
Twilight stood there. "Frozen Gate?" She began to pace back and forth. "Frozen Gate, Frozen Gate. Where have I heard of that before?" She stopped.
"Back to Canterlot."
