Ho ho ho, Merry Chri... Heart's... Whatever. But not from Super-Stalion however. But from Firebird, don't worry I won't hurt. Unless, you want to be burned, but by than the lesson is already learned. Today's story is uninspired and cliché. What? You don't care, I hear you say? Oh joy to everybody in the general vicinity. This is "A Blueblood Carol", in all its 'divinity'.
We begin at Canterlot Castle, where there is always some kinda hassle. The princesses prepared their decorations of elegance for the holidays in advance.
Nightmare was flipping through the toy store's catalog, begging Luna to buy a lot of stuff like a hog.
Speaking of Luna, nothing special happened to her, no interestingness had the older sister to prefer. Celestia finished telling an old fictional holiday tale. Blueblood, the only one listening could only bale.
"But auntie," Blueblood said while sounding like an angry boar. "Tewwing the stowies over and again won't make me wike this holiday any mowe!"
"I don't know why, or how." Celestia said. "How can a pony have such an unnatural hatred of the holiday, how could've embedded in your head?"
"If I knew I would give a peep."
"Maybe you just need a good night sleep."`
After singing Blueblood to sleep in his baby box. Smiling, the princess left the room, writing a message while looking outside where its snowing. Celestia, that sly fox. She sighed as she made a deal with two shady character and another glowing.
'Twas midnight, Blueblood was sleeping like a baby. Was that pun intended? Maybe...
"Blueblood~" That moan woke him up. He gasped at the floating scroll, yup.
The scroll fell. Blueblood opened it to find a lot of misspell.
youll be visited by tree ghosts they shall teach you how to like the holidays and the youll be as happy as a goat(?)
When the bell tolls one, your barely done.
When the bell tolls two, you wonder who?
When the bell three, wait and see!
~a friend, this letter is end
The young prince looked at the nearest clock, it was too dark to see, and he was too lazy to walk.
"I guess I'ww just have to wait and find out." Blueblood said with frown.
Nightmare grumbled and mumbled. "'m twying to sweep hewe, so keep it down!"
The bell tolled one, and nothing about that could be done.
A candle next to Blueblood's crib lighted, it formed formed a unorthodox face that couldn't be easily sighted.
"Blueblood~ Blluuuueeeblooood~" The spirit called.
"What's that? Why is that candle burning?" Towards said candle he crawled.
"Because it's haunted by..." It paused for dramatic effect. "The ghost representing Equestria's past." He jumped out of the candle revealing Firebird, who did you expect?
"Hello there, Mr. Scroogey McGrump." Said the ghostly hypocrite.
Blueblood stared at the ghost standing in midair, he did not try to fidget. He could see his skeleton through his transparent body and flames. "What're you doing here lackey of Discord?" Blueblood automatically blames.
"What makes you think I care?" Replied the ghostly bird of flare. "I got involuntary signed up for this absurd job, it's making my head throb. But a certain person asked so nicely with some money, Discord and became suddenly attracted to it like a bee to honey."
"Why awe you whyming?" Blueblood asked after the bird's blather.
The bird replied in a pessimistic manner; "Does it matter? Look, you hate the holiday, the universe won't have it that way. Us three ghosts will change your mind, and so I can finally sleep because the cheque is signed. Bite my leg, please do it slow and not fast. We're going to fly where it all went wrong; in the past."
Blueblood, seeing no other choice, reluctantly bit his leg. Firebird both laughed and shrieked after this is all done he might need a peg. "Off we go, 3, 2, 1, Alakazoom!"
But before they could take off. "WET ME SWEEP OW SEAW YOUW DOOM!"
"Sorry." Blueblood and Firebird said with grin, interrupting a baby's beauty sleep, oh what a sin.
"According to my time/space GPS, we'll be at the alter of the past in a flash." Firebird said almost out of air, the prince was dense, as for his sore legs, he hoped Discord had a spare. He flew into a portal, that makes sense?
To say it's disorienting for the young prince was an understatement. There was only darkness with a think and tall pillar, they landed with a grunt.
"Whewe awe we?" Blueblood asked about this place.
"Good question, Mr. shorty." Firebird said, even though they stand face-to-face. "I don't know exactly, but it shows a person's past. I just have to point a hoof- or wing as the case may be, just listen and look fast!" Firebird pointed at nothing, making a screen towards Firebird was nudging. "We're looking at your past to whether you like it or not. Many of which became for you a blot."
As they flipped through the metaphorical pages, they could not find anything for ages. Firebird had seen more than enough, he wishes to unsee things but that won't happen, no matter how tough. "Well, there's literally no reason for you to hate, I'm not going to fuel that debate. So that was pointless and gross, I saw nothing for you to hate the festival. I need a beg of ice with this case closed, good night, and please~ in the future do stuff that's less suggestible." Firebird begged as he threw a smoke bomb at Blueblood's head. Blueblood awoke with shock in his bed.
"He bawely wet me talk, wait did I dream that?" He rubbed his after that chat. He went back to sleep, dreading the moment the next ghost would creep.
The bell tolled two, Blueblood feared what fate would do.
Nothing seemed to happen he noticed, but it wasn't silence, not even in the remotest. Some sounds were made outside the room. Blueblood climbed out of his crib to see a ghostly Discord eating snacks in tacky holiday costume.
"D-Discord?!" The prince shouted. "What are you doing here?"
"That's the ghost of Equestria's present, at least for this year." Discord said with an honest and sincere in tone and smile. Blueblood took the time to make that sink in for a while. Discord, unlike his useless lackey, stayed in character. Even his costume choice was tacky. If Discord wanted he could be the the most pleasant Santa this season. Too bad he never has a motivation or a good reason.
"Oh pwease don't teww me-"
"Oh yes widdle Bluey. I'm taking you for a stroll through today, seeing what your friends are doing, eh?"
"I don't exactly twust you. You're a little absent-minded Spirit, Discord."
"No, I'm a large absent-minded Spirit!" Discord said in a classic retort. The joke caused a smile appear on Bluey's face. "Here, jump in." Discord said after he ripped the fabric of space. "It's a portal to Ponyville, come on, crawling doesn't take much skill."
Discord was showing him around, at Twilight's house happiness he frowned. Fluttershy's cottage practically radiated joy, but it didn't seemed to catch the blue blood boy. Rarity's parents house was cozy and warm, but that didn't help a darn. Spitfire and Soarin's decoration pleasant, as pleasant it can be for a peasant. Cadence, Shining and their widdle hell-spawn, had everything planned out as ready as dawn. Nightmare and Sly were playing ball, ignoring Blueblood since his holiday hatred and all.
"How am I seeing this?" Blueblood said knowing something was amiss. "If you're the present, and the future comes at three... Why'we Nighty and Sly fuwwy awake, pwaying to their hearts content? This is confusing me."
"Because the spirit of Equestria's present give-or-take a hours, doesn't quite have the same ring, it's like a dog ruining the prettiest of flowers, or something. Well my time is finally over, I hope you saw and learned what makes this time great."
"Nope, now I have an actuaw weason, it's overly jowwy, it's too much, which is why I hate this season."
Discord's thunder made a blunder. "You're lucky to live in a world with an overly happy fest, on different worlds they're anything but the best. Farewell my royal friend and let it be told." Said Discord as he became rapidly old. "If past and I didn't succeed, the future one must." Discord became so old he scattered in the wind as schizophrenic dust.
The bell tolled three, Blueblood had an idea the next ghost would bring anything but glee.
Blueblood was awake to see the ghost, this ghost gave Blueblood gave the feeling that he's toast. He was tall, tall fellow wearing a concealing cloak, the grim reaper he was trying to invoke. Blueblood was quaking, he was scary there was no mistaking. He hadn't even done anything, it made for others different degrees of trying.
"Awe you the ghost of the future yet to come?" The spirit nodded and remained silent, he didn't even make a confirming hum. The phantom threw his cloak over the prince, Bluey could only wince.
Once the cloak stopped blocking the view, Blueblood saw Celestia's throne room in a way that was new. "My little Pony, you're eighteen once again, I'm so proud of you, you've grown into a responsible true gentleman."
"Why thank you dearly, Mother. But I couldn't have done it without you, and Luna and my friends, but no other."
"And that's why for my present for you is being the mayor of a town." This hit past Blue hard, and make him look down.
"Oh, mother, I can't thank you enough. But I first need to know how to run a town." Future Blue didn't bluff.
Past Blue was silent. "It's not that bad." Blueblood sighed. "But it isn't enough for me to like this long term fad."
The ghost stomped the ground in a hissy fit, snapping his finger they were back in his room, the ghost threw off his cloak showing Kit, with a press of a button summoning his friends to loom.
The past had a pendulum, Future a crystal and present's swirly eyes. All ready to hypnotize.
Hearth's Warming Wve's day from Discord crew in space, Firebird asked something about yesterdays case. "Ever thought the way we did this is all wrong? Did forgot what made the original story so strong?"
"Nope. We just didn't try." Kit said sly.
"Happy Hearth's Wawming Eve evewypony!" Blueblood's holiday hate cured? Blasphemy!!
"Seems like they did their jobs well." Celestia muttered to herself, listening to Blueblood yell.
"And same to you, Moony." Blueblood hugged Nightmare blue.
"What happened to you, Bluey? You'we scawing me..."
So Blueblood went through "Yet Another Christmas Carol" eh? Well it could be worse. Try explaining "A Flintstone Christmas Carol" when they live in a time before Jesus was even born, and therefore Christmas shouldn't exist.

You better not say that out loud man or Boomerang will get you.
3680838 Anything's possible in Hanna-Barbara land.
It must have been hard to talk in a rhyme. It was a very great chapter of time.
3681591 Bragging is something is something I hate, so now credits where credits is due. Rhyming isn't so hard with a general idea and this site: http://wikirhymer.com/, it even can help everyone else too.
3681795
Okay, I was just having a bit of fun there. I am sure not everypony in the story is keen on rhyming all the time.No offense Zecora.
I have not had time to read
But I want to tell you, thank you continue the story and wish you a merry christmas
3681823 Neither was Super-Stallion when writing Her Little Rainbow when Zecora's lines. So I jokingly called the edited version a special edition.
3681832 I see.
3682864
Jonny-5: Input
CS: AH! Jonny-5 your alive?
Jonny-5: I have two movies to prove it.
CS: Yeah, the second one kind of killed your movie carrier
Good chapter FB.
3688848 If you say so. Thank you.

Hey it had some humor, and you had chaos, and confusion. what else are you going to get when you put 2 chaos lords together. besides the Christmas carol has been done so many times I'm just glade to see a new version with a bit more humor in it.
3691204 I'm not denying anything you said. My sense of humor is just... color blind, for a lack of better terminology. I never know what's funny until people comment on it. At least in a text based medium. That and I don't take my writing too seriously, but not in the negative way, like the way the game "Earthbound" does, or the "Sly Cooper" and "Ratchet and Clank" series do, at least I think so.
Update?
3691330
Yeah let's not talk about earthbound, in my mind it's a twisted game.
3692492 I'm just glad it's finally available in Europe.
3693919
So now I'm a little lost on what you meant by Earthbound's negative writting, i thought you learned about the hidden meaning behind it, or at least what the creator of the game was thinking when he made the game. Oh boy, uh if you like the game you should finish it before looking into it, and what the creator was basing it off of.
3694042 I said NOT in a negative way. I was using Earthbound as an example, but just because it doesn't take itself too seriously doesn't mean it doesn't take itself seriously.
And you mean the image in the final boss? That's a little disturbing, but I never would've noticed it until someone to point it out. I had watched several Let's Plays of it because I wouldn't know how to play it, my English was limited and I didn't discover a way to play it on an emulator yet, so I was already spoiled for years on the story.
But I do need to beat it, but many other games distract me.
On a related note I like Mother 3 more.
3694073
Well the final boss is bad yes, but i meant more long the lines of what the entire game was about, first take into account when the game was released, and you'll see the connections to alot of the scenes in the game, also again first beat the game, then look up and find out what the creator of the game based the entire game off of, and that includes the final boss.
3694136 I know what it's based of a scene in a movie Mr. Itoi would regret to have seen if it wasn't for Earthbound. Even though the scene wasn't what he thought we was.
The reason I didn't point it out was because trained myself not to swear or mention any acts of stuff that isn't PG with few exceptions. It's more of a hindrance than help really.

(this isn’t cannon with the story but I figure why not have a bit of fun.)
It was a bright and sunny day in the Crystal Empire as Blueblood, Nightmare Moon, Night-Mist Sky Hooves, Sombra, and Sly ran around in the crystal gardens. “I’m so glade mommy and daddy brought us along to work out the details on the Wonder bolts show here, it’s such a awesome place.” Night-Mist said, as he looked at Sky Hooves who was playing a game of fetch with Sly.
“Yeah, but I wish we could play in the snow.” Blueblood said, as he looked up at the protection barrier over head. “It doesn’t even look all that bad out there today, who wants to go?”
“Not me, I’m not going to get into trouble just to play in frozen water, besides Sly’s to small what happens if he falls into a big snow pile?” Nightmare Moon asked, as she looked at Blueblood who started to pout.
“And I’m not about to make my parents angry, I like my new life, so you’re on your own.” Sombra said, as he played happly with his new toy pony guards he had got for Hearts Warming.
“Oh come on it’s just a little fun in the snow, we can go and be back before anypony knows.”
“Blueblood we would have to leave the empire, and that’s a few miles in any direction, that would take us hours, to crawl.”
“Not if Sky Hooves uses his little powers to float us there, we can be there and back before anypony knows, come on who’s with me?”
3700749 (For some reason this did not show up in my inbox.)
Firebird: *Looking from a long distance* I wanna join, but I don't want to risk melting the snow or ice.
3707704 starting to wonder if maybe fim fic is having trouble
3709154 Not everything's perfect.
3709925
No one is perfect, which means no machine or program will ever be perfect. I'm not complaining about the problem just stating observations.
Sly: walks up to Firebird and whimpers slightly.)
Nightmare Moon: Oh I think he wants you to come. (Watches as Sly nuzzles firebird.) Or he just wants to stay close to you because your nice and toasty.
3710008 Firebird: Come here Sly, I'll be your campfire
3710035
Sly: (huddles close)
Discord: oh that's so adorable (*takes several snap shots.*) Now who wants to see a magic trick.
Foals: we do we do.
Discord: great now watch. (taps the pictures and Firebird's feathers turn blue, and Sly's fur turns lime green.)
Blueblood: neat.
Discord: oh but the trick isn't finished. (snaps his tallons and the real firebird's feathers turn blue and the real Sly's fur turns lime green.) TA-DA! (The foals look at the two for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Sly:
3710097 Firebird: Good thing blue fire is hotter than orange fire, and I'm feeling blue with anger! *Breaths fire at Discord*
3710105
CS: Discord runs past CS laying on a tree branch reading a book, with his flank on fire.) Didn't think that through did you.
Discord: SHUT UP! (snaps his talons and sits in a pool of chocolate milk.) I'LL GET YOU FOR THAT FIREBIRD! (turns to leave but comes face to face with Shadow Moon.) Oh come on I've already been set on fire. (Shadow moon points to both Firebird and Sly who was still crying, as Nightmare Moon tried to comfort him.) What? (Shadow Moon wraps his hand around Discord's throat.) O.K. I'll fix it. (snaps talons and changes bother firebird and Sly back to normal only to watch as Sly runs off into the Crystal Palace crying followed by Nightmare Moon.) Happy now?
Luna: from inside the palace) HE DID WHAT!?
3710160 Later that night Firebird didn't get his dinner.
Firebird: (Good thing for my secret stash of edible stuff.)
3710205
Sly: carefully crawls up to Firebird dragging a bag behind him and placing it in front of firebird) ARF!
(Firebird opens the bag to find it filled with a lot of goodies.)
3710227 Firebird:Thank you.
3710242
Discord: OOOOO!!! I'm Telling Luna (snaps his talons and Luna appears holding a wet Nightmare Moon)
Luna: DISCORD! I was in the middle of giving my little moon her bath.
Discord: but look what Sly did (points to Sly who started to whimper and cower slightly.)
3710294 Firebird: Yes punish the fox who gave me, the bird who's punished for not having dinner tonight, who punish Discord for an unfunny prank. That certainly certain isn't backwards. If I had pupils I would eye roll. Leave this Kitsune alone.
Sly: Arf!
Firebird: Fox, sorry I'm not that well versed in the many subspecies of dogs.
3710365
Luna: wait (sets Nightmare Moon down) what do you mean Discord pulled an unfunny prank?
Nightmare Moon: That what me been trying to tell you mommy, Firebird set Discord on fire because he changed his and Sly's colors, and made Sly cry.
Luna: looks at her daughter and then at Sly) is this true little fox? (Sly nodes.) Well in that case I am sorry for punishing you unfairly, and Discord. (Discord looks at Luna only to watch her use her magic to form a large mace) you should be running.
Discord: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*WHAM!!!*) (Nightmare Moon Sly and firebird covers their eyes, while Discord staggers around with flying pigs flew over his head.) Don't I get a head start?
3710428 Firebird: High five?
3710471
Sly: raises his right paw up.) ra-ra
Nightmare Moon: oh you two are getting along so nicely, but it's time for Sly's bath.
Sly: YIP! (starts to make a run for it.)
3711171 Firebird: Good luck, you'll need it Sly!
3711180
Nightmare moon: SLY YOU GET BACK HERE! (Runs after Sly) SLY THAT'S A ROYAL ORDER!
Sly: ARF ARF!
Nightmare Moon: SLY IF YOU DON'T STOP RUNNING THIS MINUTE I'M TELLING MOMMY NO MORE CHEWY YUM YUMS FOR YOU. (At the threat of his favorite doggy treat being threatened Sly slide to a halt and looked at NM.) You heard me, take you bath or I tell mommy no more Chewy yum yums.
Sly:
Nightmare Moon: Oh come on it won't be that bad.
Luna: funny I can recall saying the same thing to you not more then 20 minutes ago (Walks up and picked Sly up off the floor.) there, there everything is going to be alright.
Sly:
Luna: and don't worry no pony is going to take away your chewy yum yums.
Nightmare Moon: But mommy he.
Luna: Ran away when some pony said the B-word, again I recall another little Filly who did the same not more then 20 minutes ago.
Nightmare Moon:

is anyone having a problem on fimfiction cause i cant read anything, meaning i cant make chaps everything is in numbers and letters and i cant get to any chapters.
3717154 Nothing's wrong with me, sir.
3717154
Me and FB where chatting about this a few days ago, seems he didn't get a comment post. I think they might be having some bugs in the system. Give it time i'm sure they'll fix it.
3717450
3717155
Oh good, i was about to get pissed at my computer i just got it fixed today and i was ready to write new chaps and post CS castle chaos, now i have to wait longer.
3718106 It will work out in the in end, I'm sure
3718106
SS paced back and forth, as he looked over once and a while at CS working under the command consol. “I can’t believe he was able to do this.”
“Well what do you expect for the past few chapters and comment board run post he’s kind of gotten the tar beaten out of him several times.”
“Yeah but I didn’t think he would really do this I mean I know he could get angry and everything but to take out the main computer, come on.”
“He didn’t remember when we asked him, he said his friend took it out for him.”
“Oh right Murphy did it.”
“Yep, and now we’re trying to fix it, just make sure no one touches the power button while I’m working down here, I got bare wires all over the place down here trying to get past all these burnt chips.”
“You sure you know what your doing down there?”
“Listen if I can get a high schools computer mane frame to function with nothing but used computer part donations from the local area, and get a security system set up with parts of old video camera’s from the local junk yard, I think I can get this thing up and running. Just make sure no one touches that power button I don’t need to be electrocuted again. It wasn’t fun the first 20 times it happened thanks to idiots not knowing what they where doing.”
“20 times? How did they pull that off?”
“Long story for each one but I’ve narrowed down the cause of each one thanks to a certain T.V. show where a group of idiots pull some crazy stunts.”
“Really what was the show?”
“What’s another name for a mule?” SS thought for a moment and then nodded.
“I see. Don’t worry I’m not going to let any one touch the power button.”
“Which power button?” Discord asked, as he appeared next to SS.
“That one on the main control console.”
“Did I just hear Discord?” CS asked, as he stopped working for a moment.
“Yep.” Discord responded just as he hit the power button.
“DISCORD NO!” SS knocked Discord to the side and hit the button again to turn off the power then looked down at CS who wasn’t moving.
“He hit the button didn’t we?”
“Uh, yeah, are you alright?” CS rolled out from under the command console, stood up, and held up his hands revealing them to be gloved.
“Rubber gloves so long as I didn’t make a full connection, or become part of the circuit I was fine. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go and make a connection of another sort.” Starts to walk towards Discord. “Come here I want to have a word with you.”
“Uh-oh.” Discord snapped his talons and vanished from sight.
Did Discord write this? This made absolutely no sense! What the hell does Blueblood have to be happy about? If anything, I expected him to hate the holiday even more because of his wasted night and lack of sleep. THAT I would have found believable. THAT I would have found hilarious.
can't tell you how many times i've had a problem like this
