Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again, and rather than missing their families two years in a row, Gallus all but demanded his friends return home for the holidays. Deciding that the School of Friendship's dorm was more comfortable than the Griffonstone halfway house, he elected to simply remain in Ponyville, brood a bit, and pointedly try to ignore the happy chorus outside.

But then Sandbar just had to go and ruin it by being the great friend that he is.

Sandbar can't resist the distraction of a soft tail swishing across his desk on a slow day in class. The harmless curiosity leads to a new complication in his relationship with Gallus.

A griffon is a creature that has the head of a bird, the hindquarters of a feline, and many of the character traits of both mixed in. Some of those traits show more obviously than others, especially one side more than the other.

And guess who, as Gallus's roommate, has to put up with them?

Gallus is really, truly unenthused about his latest assigned reading. Some lame romance by a long-dead author is good for pretty much one thing and one thing only: putting you to sleep. Sandbar decides to change his mind.

Shameless Gallbar fluff.

Hey there, Braeburn. Sorry to hear about your troubles finding a colt to settle down with in Appleloosa, but I reckon I got just the thing! I know a unicorn named Hoofclid who ain't had much luck finding a special somepony either. He's about as far from a farmer as you can get, but he's cute as anything and I've got a hunch this could work if you give it a try. Why don'tcha come on over to Ponyville for a week so you can meet him?

Looking forward to it already! Love, Applejack

A fluffy illustrated romance story based on my comic blog, Hoofclid and Friends. Many thanks to Krickis and TallFry for proofreading and encouraging me to post this here.

A day after the events of "Hearth's Warming Club," Sandbar finds out another reason why his griffon friend does not want to return to Griffonstone. In the eyes of the griffons, Gallus isn't considered a legal adult as he has no one to perform a coming of age ceremony. One that would give the young griffon self-guardianship and freedom of choice to leave the country to move to Equestria. However, since he could not be adopted without the consent of a living relative, Gallus is stuck in a perpetual legal and cultural limbo.

That was until Sandbar thought up of a loophole. If his friend is unable to be free by adoption, then perhaps the only way to do so, is to marry him. At least, temporarily.

P.S. A special thank you to the writer of this site who has guided me throughout this story who wishes to remain anonymous.

The first exams are due at the School of Friendship and Gallus needs help with a subject.
Luckily Sandbar offers his help.
Can they work together to pass the exams? Is Sandbar able to help his friend? But how will this all work out? And how will those feelings they have for each other play into the mix?
We will see!

Rumble falls head over heels for Spike. How will he deal with it?

In all the high schools throughout Canterlot, there's a very special day the week before prom. A day when all the fillies and colts will do their best to pluck up the courage to offer a flower to their crush. It's a shame Shining's is the Prince of Love.

He might be in just a bit over his head.
