After Shining Armor finishes the Crystalling preparations and Cadance finishes addressing the public, Twilight and Pinkie Pie arrive with the baby to begin the ceremony. However, once the baby is separated from Pinkie, she starts to cry. Her booming wail causes the Crystal corazón to shatter into pieces.

Applejack: I'm guessin' that's gonna make it harder to do the Crystalling.

Twilight: It's worse than that. Without the Heart, the Crystal Empire's about to be buried under a mountain of ice and snow!

Saten: (checking on them) Are tu friggin kidding me!?

Rarity: So... not only can we not take part in a fabulous ancient ceremony, but we're also about to be frozen solid!

Ditto: Yes.. Apparently without the Crystal Heart's magical protection, the entire city's about to become a winter wasteland!

Applejack: But what about when King Sombra ruled the Crystal Empire and the Crystal corazón was missin'? The city wasn't covered in snow then!

Twilight: The corazón wasn't missing. It was still in the castle. King Sombra had just hidden it.

Celestia: I'm afraid Ditto and Twilight correct, the storm clouds are already forming. [lightning cracks].

arco iris Dash: I can totally fly up there and bust those puppies! No problem!

Celestia: I wouldn't advise it, arco iris Dash.. Those storm clouds are not like the ones tu know.

Luna: This far north, the weather has a will of its own, and now it will only grow stronger, enveloping everything in its path.

Cadance: Including the Crystal Empire!

Twilight: And us along with it!

Ditto: (sarcastically) Typical.

Spike: There's gotta be somethin'...

Sunburst: I know Princess Twilight is keen on the two of us rekindling our friendship, but... it's been so long. I don't see how anything on that lista is going to help.

Starlight Glimmer: I know, right? It's not like there's some spell that would magically compel us to pick up where we left off.

Sunburst: Well, actually, there's several. Mist Mane's Material Amity, Rockhoof's Rapport, Flash Prance's Fellow... ship... [ahem] But I-I get the feeling the princess isn't looking for a spell.

Starlight Glimmer: [chuckle] Definitely not.

Spike: Got it! [reading] "And if all else fails, ask them to share an embarrassing moment from their past, maybe even something they regret!"

Derpy: Uh, I don't see how that would help.

Starlight Glimmer: Uh, yeah! We should just get out of your mane. It's pretty obvious this isn't going how Twilight hoped, and I'm sure tu have plenty of important work to do...

Sunburst: What? Oh! Right, yes, heh-heh! Uh, no rest for the wizardly.

Derpy: No need.. Saten is there.. Told me he wanted to check on our friends.
