Soarin' woke up and looked over to Twilight, who was sleeping with her mouth open and drool rolling down her face. He had to put his hoof over his mouth to stop himself from laughing. Soarin' slowly exited their bed and tip-hoofed down the stairs, careful not to wake Twilight.
As Soarin' reached the bottom of the stairs he heard a yawn behind him. "Good morning Soarin'."
Twilight trotted down the stairs and almost tackled Soarin in a hug. "Happy Hearth Warming."
After a light kiss Soarin' replied. "Happy Hearth Warming, one second." Soarin' walked over to the stocking that hanged near the door to the library. He pulled out the envelope and went back to Twilight. "I got you a gift."
Twilight walked over to the couch and pulled out a large book with a bow on it. They both sat on the couch and exchanged their presents.
Soarin' opened the book and saw inside, the first page had a picture of Twilight next to him and above in large golden words it said 'Memories'. The second page had some ticket stubs from a movie theater they had gone to a few times, and Soarin's hospital band at the bottom of the page, the rest of the pages were blank.
"Twilight, this is awesome!" Soarin' closed the book and smiled.
Twilight opened the envelope and saw train tickets inside. "Train tickets to Florhayda?" Twilight hugged Soarin' and kissed his cheek. "I've always wanted to go there! Now I even get to go with you!"
Soarin's smile grew. "I thought we could go somewhere fun while the workers add the new addition to the library."
The two had thought the same thing, gifts that can be shared together.

Applejack and Spike were walking from her room. Spike was still wearing Applejack's hat and she was wearing her necklace.
Applejack led Spike to the tree what was in the corner of the living room. She reached under and pulled out a basket of turquoise gems.
Spike's eyes lit up. "No way!"
Applejack handed him the basket smiling. "I know ya love yer gems spike, so ah had Braeburn send me some for ya."
Spike jumped to hug Applejack. "You're so awesome AJ."
Applejack cleared her throat. "Ah'm no good at talkin' bout my feelin's and ah aint a pony that’s fancy with words. But if there’s one thing ah want.. it's you Spike." Applejack continued to softly smile at Spike.
Spike had forgotten all about his gift and lost himself in Applejack's soft green eyes. Spike leaned forward into Applejack, and they shared a long kiss.
A soft giggling came from the other side of the room, Spike and Applejack looked over and saw Apple Bloom with her hooves over her mouth and Granny Smith smiling at the young couple.
Both Spike and Applejack blushed and rubbed the back of their heads in embarrassment.
"I can cook you guys breakfast if you want." Spike suggested.
"Tha sounds good Spike." Applejack said, still blushing.
The Apple family and Spike left the room, all happy to be together for Hearth Warming day.

Big Macintosh and Fluttershy were kneeling in front of the tree exchanging presents by a small fire.
Big Macintosh got a copy of Shakeshooves complete works in hardback form that made his eyes light up with delight. "Thank ya' kindly Fluttershy."
Fluttershy had gotten a hoof-stitched quilt made by Granny Smith. "I love it, Big Mac..." Fluttershy leaned over and kissed Big Macintosh on the cheek and it turned them both beet red.

Pinkie stretched as she woke up in bed with Gummy on her head. "Happy Hearth Warming Gummy!" She picked up Gummy and hugged him tightly. She put Gummy on her back and she hopped downstairs to greet Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and then a knock came to the door.
Pinkie opened the door and remembered the Spanish Inquisition pony she had talked to. "Hi!"
The pony cleared his throat. "Good morning, last time we were not properly acquainted." He outstretched his hoof. "I am Cardinal Ximinez."
Pinkie took the hoof and shook it violently. "I'm Pinkie Pie! Glad to meet you."
Cardinal's eyes were spinning from the hoof shake and recovered. "Yes well, I recall your attraction to the Spanish Inquisitions robe correct?"
Pinkie grew wide eyed and replied. "Yes! They are awesome!"
Cardinal pulled out a set of Spanish Inquisition robes and handed them to Pinkie. "Happy Hearth Warming."
Pinkie grabbed the robes and quickly put them on and then hugged Cardinal. She took a few steps back and made a slight pose. "How do I look, Cardinal?"
Cardinal blushed a little. "You look f-fantastic, Pinkie."
Pinkie smiled and grabbed Cardinal by the shoulders. "Want to spend Hearth Warming Day with us?!"
Before he could respond Pinkie pulled him in Sugar Cube Corner and the Cakes welcomed Cardinal.
Everypony’s Hearth Warming was just as they had hoped for.

(Epilogue)
Twilight and Soarin' boarded the train and quickly found their seats. They opened the window to wave goodbye to their friends.
"Bye everypony! Be back soon!" Twilight said as the train started chugging off.
Twilight sat back down and turned to Soarin'. "This is going to be so fun!" She said while clapping her hooves.
Soarin' smiled and turned away for a moment to look in his saddle bag. He opened up a tiny box that held a hoof-ring in it, hidden from view from Twilight. "Yeah, I can’t wait."
Team Joker: We hope you enjoyed our Holiday Special. Blue Skies will most likely start next year so we can plan the plot well and finish up the story of the Sparkles. Happy Holidays!
Youve done it. There's too much Daaw. If you continue with this story you will rip a hole in the space time continu- oh the story's complete? Oh thank god. I thought you were about to kill us all.
In all seriousness, it was quite the good read. Both sappy at times and comical at times. I shall patiently await your next story.

OR is it?!
yeah the special is over, so far what we have planed for blue skies is pretty cool so far
I'll prob just head back to writing my discopie fic till then
It's a heartwarming little story. Although you may want to go back and fix the Big <ac typo.
I'm looking forward to Blue Skies and hope things continue to go well with this story.
" Big <ac and Fluttershy were kneeling in front of the tree exchanging presents by a small fire." say what now lol

68451 Well, they live together, and twi is preg. So why not? :p it would be a crime not too.
68444>>68426

Wow that was amazing, but I have one question where in Equestria is Spain? I mean that literally as it is written. Oh wait if the daww in this story ripped a hole in the time space continuem that could be possible. Oh my, better call the Doctor.
Got a Question, What is Blue skies going to be about?
68921
It's the follow up we're working on, a true sequel. It goes through Soarin and Twilight's vacation, marriage, child birth and fast forwards to the their child's first time in school. It also features the future of AJ and Spike's relationship and offspring. Pinky also has a kid. Once everything is set up, the meat of the story focuses on the three children(a halfbreed, a unicorn and an earth pony) and the beginning of their friendship and adventures.
Peace Out.
68935hummmm interesting
68935THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. Too bad that means my Idea is rejected.
69407 What idea?
Echo Fleetfoot? Don't you remember?
Ending so soon? Didn't really see that coming.
69499 Yeah I remember that, I have no way of making flutter be able to meet echo or risk her losing character. and it can be an accident because echo can handle herself well from what ive read on her. But I am doing a DiscoPie fic right now, its a little archaic but I think its coming out well
Awww. Oh well.
Well done on the end of this winter. Not to short not to long. Wonderfull and it put a smile on my face.
D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
is this all the chapters or r u going to add to it?
100678 Pardon?
This was a holiday special we did - it also acts a a bridge to connect Purple Skies to the third story, it will be called Blue Skies
Just read purple skies and this. Can't wait for blue skies. I'll be watching for it.
I like your writing style. Very diamond-in-the-rough, but still quite enjoyable.
OK...lets see if I can comment on this, and try to hold onto my dignity......
Screw it... *squeals like a fangirl* I LOVED this story! Not sure which couple is cuter Twilight/Soarin or Spike/AJ. OK that's a lie, being the massive Twilight fan I am, its almost blasphemy for me to think it is anything other than Twilight/Soarin. Still Spike/AJ is a really cute couple. On a further note..... omygoshomygoshomygosh!!! I love stories where twilight becomes a mom, I just wish there were more of them.
Patiently awaiting Blue Skies:

I'm so glad you liked it - I loved this story and I love Twilight being paired with Soarin' alot, I think they push off of each other in the best ways - I have another fic in mind that I have almost completely thought out with twi and flutters - but I'm loyal to Twisoar so I'm kinda against it, its a good story and really sweet, but Twisoar is better imo.
And here's a small piece of Blue Skies
Star Dust - Twilight's daughter.
Fang - Spike's son.
Cherry Pie - Pinkie's daughter.
My co-writer and I are trying to make Blue Skies as awesome as possible - first chapter may be out Saturday, but I'm really sick right now and can't write and I'm still trying to finish up Stay Ardor
Curses... I am going to be busy this weekend. Owell I guess I will have to wait till Monday to read the first chapter. *sqwee* I cant wait!
how does a red pony blush red confusing and aww pinkie has a boy friend poor rarity no boy friend for her
