> Snowed in at the House of Pony > by JusSonic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: Snowed In! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue: Snowed In! It is Hearth's Warming Eve, one of the most wonderful times of the year in Equestria. The House of Pony does their best to celebrate this wonderful holiday of unity and friendship for all of pony kind (and anything else in between). So Twilight Sparkle and her friends make sure to hold a 5 to 8 show during the seasons at the House of Pony ever year. That way, it would be simple for the shows, have fun with the guests especially the villains, serve food and make sure that they get their dose of cartoons. It looks like it's going to be another House of Pony holiday...that is until one evening... ------------ The audience is applauding excitedly. Twilight is about to wrap up another story before they leave to spend their holidays at their own homes. The purple alicorn smiles to the audience saying, "Well folks, that's our show! Thanks again for spending Hearth's Warming Eve here at the House of Pony! We wish you all a great holiday and a safe trip home. See ya soon!" The audience applauds as the spotlight is off Twilight. The mare smiles as she goes to the backstage area. Ben, Spike, Nyx, Phobos, and even the Snotty Duo and Maxin were preparing to leave. "Hey, thanks for the decorations and the special act, Diamond Tiara." Twilight said with a smile. Even if Diamond Tiara has cause trouble for the ponies and try to shut down the House of Pony many times before, at least she did all right for the day. "Yeah, who knew you could be nice for once?" Nyx ask Diamond Tiara with a smirk. "Don't get me wrong, I am still my bullying blank flank disliking self but Silver Spoon insisted on it." Diamond Tiara explains to Nyx with a shrug. "It gives me something to do on Hearth's Warming Eve." "Plus, Nyx's mother and her friends did show you that ponies can be nice on with the Hearth's Warming Eve activities as well as showing you how complicated running a show can be, Diamond." Silver Spoon comments to Diamond Tiara, making her friend frown a bit. "Yeah, okay, there's that." "Well, at least it's a good Hearth's Warming Eve show once more." Twilight said with a smile on her face. "Right, at least now I can relax and have a great celebration back home." Spike said with a smile. "Yeah, well, time for us to get going." Ben chuckles as he check the time. "We got some time left before we can go home for Hearth's Warming Eve..." "Ponies, we got a problem!" Pinkie exclaims frantically while rushing into the backstage area. "No pony or body can go home!" "Huh? What do you mean?" Twilight ask Pinkie in confusion. -------- Twilight's group quickly head to the front doors as they see all of the guests standing around in worry. The purple mare turns to a worried Rarity while asking, "Rarity, what's going on?" "We are snowed in!" Rarity exclaims in concern to Twilight. "Oh yeah, a fine predicament, how terrible," Rainbow remarks dryly while rolling her eyes. Apparently, she doesn't seem to care what is going on right now. "Awww, the snow isn't that bad about there! See?" Phobos remark as he walks over to the door and look outside. "YIKES! I spoke too soon!" Sure enough there is a lot of snow, all over the place, blocking. Fluttershy gasps, "Oh my, oh my! I think the Wendigos are back!" "That's crazy, Fluttershy." Soarin' exclaims to Fluttershy with a frown. "Those freaks hadn't been seen in generations." "Wait, hang on, I remember something. There was a snow storm scheduled...but it wasn't supposed to be scheduled for today!" Golden Heart exclaims in realization. "Diamond, what did yew do?" Apple Bloom demands suspiciously to Diamond Tiara as if this is one of her schemes. "Oh sure, blame me for everything that goes wrong at this dump!" Diamond Tiara scowls in annoyance at Phobos for the accusation. "Anyway, if I wanted to snow everypony in here, I would do it from outside, not inside where I end up getting trapped in!" "She's right; Diamond Tiara wouldn't be foolish to do that." Silver Spoon said with a sigh. "Anyway, you think we would want to do something bad to the House of Pony on Hearth's Warming Eve?" "No worries, we will use magic to melt the snow and get out of here." Twilight said thoughtfully as she prepares to use her magic as did some of the unicorns, villains and those who uses magic. But to everyone's shock and surprise, nothing appears to be working. Only fizzling noises are heard. "What the hay?" "My Triforce powers aren't working either!" Ben exclaims as he tries to use his Triforce powers to no prevail. "What about you bad guys?" "Nothing's working!" Chrysalis snarls as she tries to blast her way out but to no prevail. "My magic is gone!" The audience begins mumbling in worry and concern. Spike yelps a bit as if he's getting sick. Garble the Dragon groans in disgust, "Awww, sick! If you wanna throw up, baby Dragon, do it in the bathroom!" Just then Spike burps out a flame, sending out a scroll of some kind. As everyone watches, Twilight gasps, "It's a message from the princess!" Spike takes the scroll and opens it. He begins to read, "'To my faithful student and niece-in-law/daughter in law Twilight Sparkle, as you are aware, there is a huge snow blizzard in Ponyville. That's because due to a mix-up, the snow storm that was scheduled ended up being on the day before Hearth's Warming Eve.'" "Oh, great! Leave it to the Pegasi to mess things up, dudes." Gilda remarks in disgust, making the Pegasus ponies annoyed. "'Unfortunately, the crews that I normally send to clear the mess has gone home for Hearth's Warming Eve and won't go back to work until the day after. Also, you are well aware that your magic isn't working. That's because at the same time as the snow storm, a magical comet is passing over Equestria, causing every pony, magical beings and even villains to lose their magical powers. I have to use my own magic before then to make a shield so I could send this message to you. The effects of the comet will last until morning.'" "What?" Galaxy gasps in shock along with her friends from Ponyland. That means that no one who uses magic can use their powers until morning...or even escape at all! "'I advised everyone who is snowed in to stay inside the buildings until morning. I apologize for the trouble. I will do everything I can to get this mess fixed. Princess Celestia'," Spike said as he finish reading the message from Princess Celestia. Everyone looks worried, mumbling a bit in worry. Lorcan turns to Princess Luna while asking, "Luna, did you hear that? We can't go home." "Shucks, we can build a new home!" Braeburn suggests, trying to keep up a positive attitude. "Nnope, where does that get us?" Big Macintosh asks in concern, making the other guests more worried. "Calm down, everypony, I will try to think on this." Twilight said as she sat down, pausing to think. What now? No one can leave due to the snow storm and no one can use magic or flight to escape at all. The audience begins whispering in hope that Twilight may find a solution. Flash Sentry whispers, "Perhaps Twilight Sparkle is thinking of something. She always finds a way out of messes." Twilight pauses and look out a window then looks around at the club. The show was finished up, she doesn't know how to keep it running...but maybe...the princess smiles eagerly. Perhaps Twilight knows of a way to keep everyone occupied until morning; which means... "I got it! Everyone, listen up! I got bad news and good news. The bad news is that, sadly, we are stuck here until Hearth's Warming Eve morning." Twilight explains to everyone, making some of them, even the bad guys look down. "However...you all should have your magic back by then and go home. But let's not think negative, but rather positive! Everyone, I want you all to have a great Hearth's Warming Eve and, by the Mag'ne's name, you all will have one! That is why, as of now, we are holding our first annual House of Pony Hearth's Warming Eve Sleepover!" Everyone is surprised. A concerned Cheerilee spoke up, "Uh, would this be like the sleepover you had one time with Applejack and Rarity?" "Yes, but different! It will be a combination of a sleepover and a Hearth's Warming Eve! Yeah, yeah, it's a thought on the spot, but I figure, what else can we do, right? Also, you're asking 'what about our families? We're snowed in, so how the hay are we supposed to go home to see them'? I will say this, don't worry! You all got family right here, all of us!" "Even the bad guys?" Nyx ask her mother in surprise as she glances at some of the guests who are bad guys or bullies, especially the ones from Gen 1. "Yes, they may be bad guys, but to be honest, they are family to every one of us!" Twilight explains with a smile. Everyone gave looks of bewilderment and confusion at her...then applaud eagerly. What a great idea! This will keep them busy and make up for not leaving for their own holidays! "All right, everypony, if everyone can return to their seats, we will start our Hearth's Warming Eve Sleepover, free of charge!" The guests cheer as they return to their seats. As the sleepover start, we see Pinkamena and Golden Heart along with Gold Wing at the spot as Golden Heart says, "This Hearth's Warming Eve Sleepover at the House of Pony will be good." Pinkamena nods while saying, "Yep especially since we are trapped here right now due to a huge snow storm blocking the way out." "Ok but let's just watch the show." Pinkamena nods as she and Golden Heart and Gold Wing watch on. Ben smiles while saying, "What a great idea, Twilight! Now I know why you're a princess!" "Oh boy, oh boy! I am soooooo nervictied!" Pinkie giggles happily, ignoring the angry look on Rainbow's face. "Yew do know 'dat's not a real word, right?" Applejack asks Pinkie dryly. "Also, I always wanted Dashie for a sister!" "Well, not what I mean but..." Twilight begins to say, but an angry familiar voice interrupts the mare. "Bah! Humbug!" Rainbow scowls angrily as she turns away from her pals, crossing her upper forearms, much to the surprise of her friends. "Huh? 'Bah, humbug'?" Phobos asks confused. "What, you're quoting Rarity from her role in the fanmake of 'Mickey's Christmas Carol' now?" "Yeah, what gives Auntie Dashie?" Nyx ask Rainbow in concern. "I thought you like Hearth's Warming Eve." Brave Heart sighs a bit while explaining, "Lads, lasses, ye all must understand. Me cousin Rainbow hasn't have te spirit since she lost her real father years ago. Rainbow sure seems te like te holidays...but over time, she became a real grump without real familt te spend Hearth's Warming Eve with, well, besides me and me own family that is. Her adopted father, Timothy Tyler, cannot make it." "But she got Scootaloo, shouldn't that count as family?" Fluttershy ask Brave Heart in concern. "Aye, but it will take more than Scoots 'te gives me cousin her Hearth's Warming Eve spirit back." "Well, as a true friend of Rainbow Dash, I won't rest until we will change Rainbow's sour attitude and get her Hearth's Warming Eve spirit back to make up for all those lonely nights at home." Twilight said in determination. The mare cannot bear to see her good friend Rainbow act like a Scrooge anymore. "I sure hope you're right." Soarin' sighs, hoping that tonight, maybe Rainbow won't feel grumpy about Hearth's Warming Eve anymore. > Chapter 1: Rainbow on Ice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: Rainbow on Ice The folks are sitting down, preparing for the first annual Hearth's Warming Eve Sleepover at the House of Pony. Since they are stuck here for the night, everyone may as well make the most of things. As the Cutie Mark Crusaders are performing for the guests, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and the animals came out with cups of hot chocolate and cookies. Pinkie calls out, "Here you go; Hot cocoa and cookies, on the house!" "Or inside since it's kinda cold out there." Fluttershy giggles as she and her friends serve the cookies and hot chocolate for everyone, even the villains. Rarity pushes a makeshift fireplace onto the stage. Maxin took a match and lit the thing up; this fireplace is a best place to be comfortable at so far; Meanwhile, Roclan is complaining, "Great; stuck in here with this creep!" Lorcan Hyde smiles stupidly as he points out, "Hey, look on the bright side: we have each other." Roclan looks a bit disgusted by that comment. As Golden Heart, Pinkamena and Gold Wing watch, Pinkamena says, "I like sleep overs. I remember that one time you and me had a sleep over and it was so much fun." Golden Heart smirks while saying, "Indeed little sister and I recall that you slept on my side." Pinkamena giggles, "Well it did not hurt you. I mean you are an alicorn right?" "True but let's just watch on. It is not sleep time yet." Pinkamena nods as she, Golden Heart and Gold Wing keep watching. Twilight uses her magic to bring back a Hearth's Warming Eve tree, Nyx pushes a box of ornaments over to her mother. They work on setting the tree up; Looks good. Twilight grins as she saw Pinkie pushing a chair that a very annoyed Rainbow is sitting in over. The purple alicorn exclaims, "All right, looks like this party is starting to warm up now!" "Hey, good news, Twiley," Ben exclaims as he brings in a box of DVDs. "I found some old Hearth's Warming Eve stories from our past shows, along with some new ones." "All right! Looks like this is going to be awesome," Nyx exclaims with a smile on her cute little face. "Yeah, looks like we got some cartoons to watch, everypony!" Twilight exclaims with a smile while looking the cartoons over. Maybe one of these will bring the spirit back to the frowning Rainbow Dash. "Bah, humbug!" Rainbow scowls while sitting in the chair as she crosses her upper forelegs. "Humbug? What's a humbug?" Sweetie Drops ask Lyra puzzled. "Simple, humbug is something you say when somepony doesn't have the Hearth's Warming Eve spirit." Lyra Heartstrings explains to her roommate with a shrug. "And Rainbow Dash doesn't have the spirit that's for sure." Miko (Prime) in disgust groans, "Bug? Eew! That's so disgusting! Why would a pony like her eat bugs?" Raf (Prime) corrects Miko, "Em... Miko; Rainbow Dash said 'Humbug' not 'bug', as in not having the best mood to show your Christmas Spirit in Christmas or Hearth's Warming Eve. And also that's considered a bit disrespectful to it." Jack (Prime) nods as he adds, "Kinda like Ebenezer Scrooge who hates Christmas a lot from 'A Christmas Carol'. And I thought Ratchet is more Scrooge than Megatron or his Decepticons." Ratchet (Prime) frowns as he protest, "I maybe grumpy Autobot, but I am not like any Decepticon. By the way children, I do not hate Christmas, just troubling fitting in Human culture. That's all." Smokescreen (Prime) chuckled, "Yeah, like you couldn't admit that you and Ironhide (Prime/WFC) are the most uptight and grumpiest bots in Cybertron when something went wrong." Bumblebee (Prime) nodded his head while beeping the sound as if laughing. Bulkhead (Prime) smirk, while asking, "You mean like this?" Bulkhead smashed Ratchet's Energon Medic Kit. The Autobot exclaims angrily, "Bulkhead! I needed that! Do you have any idea how much it cost that kit? I doubt that Christmas can replace that! It is not FUNNY!" All Autobots and Humans (from Prime) laughed at Ratchet's usual habit. Miko unimpressed and upset at Rainbow's attitude ask, "Seriously? That is so uncool." "Well, Rainbow Dash, you may say humbdug now, but I betcha once you watch this cartoon from the time that Brian had Santa Hooves's list..." Twilight begins to say to Rainbow onstage. "Sorry about that!" Brian calls out to Twilight sheepishly, apologizing for that incident. "...you will get the spirit of the season. And trust me, this one is about you, Rainbow my good friend!" Rainbow scowls in annoyance, "Yeah, like that change my mind." The audience applauds as Applejack starts the first cartoon of this sleepover. ------------- presents... Rainbow on Ice JusSonic It is a nice and snowy day in Ponyville. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are looking a banner that advertises a contest that is happening. Apple Bloom exclaims eagerly, "All right, Cutie Mark Crusaders; 'De Snowpony Contest has done arrived." "Right, today," Sweetie exclaims eagerly. "This is going to be fun!" "We are so going to win this year." Scootaloo exclaims eagerly as the CMC heads off quickly. They are excited; the trio of fillies is going to make the best snowpony for the contest this year. "Yeah; we could be...Cutie Mark Crusader Snowpony Makers!" "YEAH! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SNOWPONY MAKERS," The CMC cheers on wildly as they begin work on their snowpony. Apple Bloom chew up some bubble gum and blowing a bubble before rolling the thing down a hill, making it big enough for the bottom part. Sweetie works on making a little cannon so that she can fire a medium sized snowball right onto the big one for the middle part. Scootaloo plays basketball with a little snowball and lands it on the medium sized one for the head part. Scootaloo now uses two slingshots to put two rocks on top of the little snowballs for the eyes. Sweetie eats on a corncob until she got it to the size of a pipe for the snowpony. Next she took a carrot that the filly borrowed from Angel and put it onto the snowpony's head. The three fillies pull one button each from their own coats and put them onto the snowpony to make a button like short for the medium sized head. Scootaloo soon tied a boomerang on a scarf and threw it so that the said boomerang will circle around the snowpony's head, putting the scarf on in the progress. The boomerang flew into the air and knocks two sticks off of a tree to make arms for the snowpony. Apple Bloom giggles as she and her friends check their work, "Dang, we done going win fer sure! But we need just one more thing." Apple Bloom now takes out a top hat, making her friends smile. This will complete their snowpony for sure. Unknown to them, the trio of cutie mark searching fillies are about to run into trouble. At the same time, at the other side of a lake nearby, Rainbow Dash wear wearing snow gear and carrying a pair of ice skates. The mare needs a day for herself and decides to do so by ice skating. "Man, looks like my day will be 20% awesome when I go ice skating." Rainbow chuckles while putting on ice skates on her hooves. Rainbow got onto the ice and begins to skate, though the mare has trouble keeping balancing as she felt down. Rainbow got back up and tries her best to keep balance, only to fall once more. The Pegasus pony kept trying and fails once more. Enough, she screams in frustration, frowning while standing upright...Rainbow then realize that she is standing upright, not slipping. "Oh yeah," Rainbow exclaims excitedly...only to fall down and got her head stuck in the ice. She got it out and saw a ring of ice around her neck. Ugh, why her? Rainbow tries her best to get the ice off with her hooves and ice cream, trying not to break her own end. She hops around on her flanks, but landed in the hole where her head was, causing her to fell into the water, with her head sticking out of the ice. "Horse feathers," Rainbow groans in irritation. ----------- It took a while, but Rainbow got out of the lake, shaking herself off and grabbing clouds, tying both around her own body. The mare begins ice skating once more in hopes to do better. Like before, Rainbow slip, but bounce up and down with the clouds, landing on her bottom hooves to keep her balance. "All right, there we go, it works!" Rainbow exclaims with a smile of triumph on her face. She is going to skate better this time! Rainbow laughs but stops upon seeing a line of barrels up ahead. The mare prepares to fly over them as she pulls off the clouds, skating towards them. Rainbow jump/flew over the barrels all in one jump. The mare lands and skate some more, but ends up tripping on a root that is stuck on the ice; Rainbow screams as she slips and spin around like mad. During that time, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are on each other's shoulders, putting the hat on the snowpony. But the trio heard screaming, turning to see Rainbow heading their way, skating out of control. The CMC scream as they push their snowpony out of the way, sighing in relief. That's a close one. Of course, too bad that Rainbow ends up turning around and knocking down the snowpony anyway, the fillies got out of the way in time. The Pegasus pony climbs out of the remains, spitting out the carrot before tossing the hat aside. Rainbow has no time for this. She heads back to go back to ice skating, apparently not bothering or caring about what the mare herself has done. Needless to say, the CMC are very ticked off at what happened. They worked so hard on their snowpony and Rainbow ends up ruining it. To make matters worse, she didn't bother to apologize or offer to help, just going back to what Rainbow herself was doing. Well, accident or no, the mare isn't going to get away with this. The CMC frowns as they gather around, whispering, preparing for the next revenge on Rainbow. ----------- It was a few moments later as the Cutie Mark Crusaders hid behind a rock, watching Rainbow pass by them. They got to work with Apple Bloom taking out a red marker, Sweetie a nail and Scootaloo a mallet. Time for the revenge to begin! Apple Bloom put a red X in the middle of the ice before Sweetie put a nail down. Scootaloo slams the mallet into the said nail, causing a crack to appear in the ice. Satisfied and knowing that Rainbow will get what's coming to her, the CMC head back to their snowpony. For those wondering what the CMC has done, the nail on the ice cause a crack to go after Rainbow...and sure enough, it caught up with her causing the mare to slip. Rainbow frowns as she snaps, "Hey, what gives?!" She saw that what causes her to slip this time was a crack on the ice. "Weird." Rainbow shrugs it off and goes back to skating...but saw the crack following her. That shouldn't be possible! The mare skates to the left, with her chaser following. The Pegasus pony looks concerned as she ballerina dance onto the ice for a moment and the crack was follow. It was sentient and obviously wants payback on Rainbow for some reason! "Look! It's the Mag'ne!" Rainbow exclaims while pointing in a nearby direction. The crack, confused, turns causing the mare to galloped off. It didn't like that trick as the crack begins following Rainbow like mad. Rainbow flew over a rock which got split by the same crack. She now run over some barrels, doing so fast enough to make a fence out of them. The crack somehow open a gate in the fence and close it while following the mare some more. Rainbow soon find herself surrounded by the crack of the ice as it melted all of it, including the ice that Rainbow is on. Rainbow frantically worked on finding some solid ground until she has one hoof in the ice. The mare flew off until she got to some solid ground with snow. She rubs the said snow off of herself while sighing in relief, "Phew; that was a close one." Of course, Rainbow spoke too soon. As if in another impossible way except by Pinkie Pie matter, the crack follows Rainbow on ground. She screams while galloping through the snow with the said crack chasing her. The mare makes a canoe from a log using her skates while making her mad escape, the crack cracks the canoe as well. Rainbow flew up the tallest tree, clinging on. But she yelps as the crack moved up the tree, making her fall off. She screams as the tree was about to fall right on top of her. Luckily for the Pegasus pony, the crack causes the tree itself to split apart and falling between Rainbow. Rainbow sighs, thinking that the worst is over. Wrong again! She saw the crack getting close causing the mare to rush into a cave as the crack follows her. Of course, neither of them saw a sign nearby that said 'Danger! Abominable Snowpony! Do Not Disturb or Else'. Rainbow trots as she saw the crack following, making her trot faster in hopes to escape her pursuer. Of course, the Pegasus pony then run into something big and wet...she notices a pair of sinister eyes that grew taller and angrier. "Uh oh..." Rainbow yelps as she struck a match to see what the mare has ran into: an angry Abominable Snowpony and it doesn't look too happy by the intrusion. "Hey." Rainbow turn back to see the crack getting close; the snowpony roars furiously, causing the weird pursuer to whine and whimper, rushing off in fear. The monster then blew out the fire of the match that Rainbow is holding. The Pegasus pony screams and run off with the Abominable Snowpony in mad pursuit now. Rainbow jumps onto the ice and skates with the snowpony following her. The mare open, enter and close the gate on the fence from earlier and gallops off some more. The monster just runs over the fence, causing them to turn into barrels once more. Rainbow now flies into some deep snow, skating past some trees then run into a big oak. She recovers from the hit to the head in time to escape once more. Now back at the Snowpony Contest, the Cutie Mark Crusaders smile as they look over the new snowpony that they themselves had made. Looks like nothing can destroy it this time. But then the trio of fillies heard Rainbow screaming as she came in and collides with the snowpony again along with the CMC. The three fillies pop their heads out of the snow, giving angry looks to Rainbow. She ruined their snowpony again! But just then, the four saw a shadow looming over the group, making them all look up. Rainbow, Apple Bloom, Sweetie and Scootaloo screams in terror as the Abominable Snowpony appears to close in all three of them. Looks like this is it! "And we got a winner!" An announcer is heard. The five looks confused, wondering what's that all about. The announcer goes over to the monster while continuing, "Gotta say, I have never seen a real live Snowpony up close, you are definitely worthy of this prize!" The Snowpony gasps in amazement as he was given a pair of ice skates. This is incredible! The monster has never won anything before, it felt great! The Abominable Snowpony smiles as he got his picture taken. ----------- A while later, the Abominable Snowpony was skating around happy. Rainbow of course isn't so happy. The Cutie Mark Crusaders advance on her with a barrage of snowballs;, all of them are upset at her for ruining their chances at winning the contest again. "Come on, girls, you gotta admit, you wouldn't share those ice skates anyway." Rainbow said nervously to the three fillies. "Plus I didn't mean to!" "FIRE," The Cutie Mark Crusaders scream while firing snowballs at Rainbow who skates away angrily. Mean to or no, the mare got into a lot of trouble today. The End A JusSonic Production --------------- Once the cartoon is over, the audience applaud for the good one. Pinkie smiles to Rainbow onstage while asking, "How was it, Dashie? Did it help with your Hearth's Warming Eve spirit?" Rainbow frowns as he snaps, "Pinkie, does showing a cartoon that shows somepony being chased a huge Abominable Snowpony then getting attacked by your fan and her friends with snowballs all because of a big mistake even count as lifting Hearth's Warming Eve spirits?" "Err, no?" "The cartoon's director asked me to make a complete moron out of myself. Seriously, it seems everypony likes making me the butt of jokes." Rainbow groaned after the cartoon ended. She settle back into her chair while scowling, "Bah humbug!" "Hmm, I guess showing a cartoon of Rainbow getting tormented like that wasn't a good idea, huh?" Nyx ask, feeling a bit guilty for showing that cartoon. "Still, some of the bad guys like Starscream got a kick out of it." Phobos remarked, pointing out how Starscream is laughing at what happened to Rainbow in the cartoon. "Looks like we better come up with another idea," Ben said in concern. Twilight nods as she and her friends begin thinking up a new idea to cheer Rainbow up. > Chapter 2: Wishes and Santa Hooves > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Wishes and Santa Hooves As Golden Heart and Pinkamena watch on, Gold Wing was sleeping in a nest that Pinkamena made. She says, "Gold Wing was really tired so I made him a nest so he can sleep." "That is nice. You sleepy yet," Golden Heart ask Pinkamena curiously. "Nope. There is still much to do and Dashie is still grumpy." "Indeed but remember like I said, things will go well in the end." Pinkamena nods as she and Golden Heart watch on as Gold Wing sleeps. Ben did some thinking then smiles while saying, "Wait! I got an idea! Maybe we can hear some Equestrian Wishes!" "Yeah, good idea, Ben," Twilight exclaims smiling to Ben before turning to the audience. "Why, I found some old clips from when Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and Maixn Talos tries to steal the presents that we were giving Diamond and burn them into the furnace when we trot over to them on ponies wishing for what they want. Plus, earlier today, I went out onto the street to see what everypony else wished for!" "Let's check it out!" Nyx exclaims excitedly. The audience applauds as they turn to the big screen which shows some images from the mentioned show. ------------ Spike is heard narrating, "All right, now it's time for...Pony on the Street! This part of the show is where Twilight Sparkle asks a certain question to certain ponies on the streets. The answers that they give her may surprise ya!" Twilight waves to the camera while saying, "Hey, everypony; It is now 7 in the morning and we got a few hours before the show begins. I am about to ask the ponies and whatnot the question of the day...what would they like for Hearth's Warming Eve or Christmas from wherever they came from? Now here we go!" 7:13 AM Twilight hold a mike with her magic to Pinkie Pie, asking, Pinkie, what would you like for Hearth's Warming Eve?" "That's easy!" Pinkie chirps happily. "All I want for Hearth's Warming Eve is my two front teeth!" "Pinkie Pie, 1, you got those, and 2, I wasn't quizzing you on a song." "So what do I win?" 7:16 AM "The Alicorn Amulet, I want the Alicorn Amulet!" Smaug exclaims madly to Twilight. "Figures," Twilight remarks dryly while rolling her eyes at Smaug's answer. 7:19 AM "How about Rarity's phone number?" Blueblood asks Twilight arrogantly. Spike however appears, growling as he holds out his claws sinisterly. 7:22 AM "What we want for Hearth's Warming Eve?" Jewelie ask Twilight as she and her sisters watch on. "Try bunk beds for one." "Come on, don't you like sharing our bed?" Twinkle Rose teases her sister Jewelie a bit. 7:24 AM "A chance to play games and sports all day long!" Scootaloo (Gen 3) exclaims to Twilight excitedly. 7:28 AM Blueblood, now with a black eye and a beat up snout, frowns as Twilight spoke up in annoyance, "Okay, let's try this again, Blueblood." "Okay...uh...how about...Trixie Lulamoon's number?" Blueblood asks with a groan to Twilight. "WHAT," Boris is heard yelling devilishly. Twilight and Spike saw the angry Devil Pony pouncing right at the terrified Blueblood, his horn about to stick right into him. 7:31 AM "Well, I would like a bunch of woods, some books and some passes to the Wonderbolts." Sweetie Drops explains to Twilight with a smile. "Sure, while you're at it, how about asking for an air freshener?" Lyra remarks with a frown, causing her roommate to give her the same emotion. "Are you saying that I stink?!" 7:36 AM "All the love to feed my army of Changelings of course!" Queen Chrysalis laughs madly as Twilight interviews her next. "Okay, seriously, get away from me." Twilight said nervously at this answer. 7:45 AM "I wish that Princess Celestia takes me back." Sunset Shimmer said in regret and frantically. "I'm sorry for making my mistakes, princess! Please forgive me!" 7:49 AM "Now I want a doctor's phone number!" Blueblood, now with a bandages on his face and a bruised burn from when Boris beaten him up, groans before fainting right to the sidewalk. 7:58 AM "What do I want for Hearth's Warming Eve, Twilight?" Lorcan asks while patting Luna on the hoof. "Simple, for those to find their own friendship, love and anything else good." 8:02 AM "What I want for Christmas?" Roclan ask Twilight sinisterly, "Death to all." 8:10 AM "That bunny!" Swiper remarks to Twilight with a chuckle. 8:13 AM "A chance to sing!" Dr. Lizardo insists eagerly. "Dr. Lizardo, you already did that when some of us went into the basement to look for Ben." Twilight points out to Dr. Lizardo, much to his surprise and confusion. "Wait, I did? How come I don't remember that? Ugh! Blast you, Wilco!" 8:21 AM Starscream (Prime) spoke with a grin, "You really want to know what I wish for Christmas or Hearth's Warming Eve; I wish that Megatron just stay dead for good so I don't have to suffer from his punishing wrath! It is humiliating! And I can be the new leader of Decepticons since that's what every version of mine wanted." Knockout (Prime) scoffs, "Ha! As if! You had your chance, but you barely even lead the Decepticons invasion at any sector of Earth since Megatron's death from 'Darkness Rising'! You know what I wish for? I wish no bots or anyone dare to scratch my paint job!" A giant rock hit Knockout's chest. It is scratched. Knockout (Prime) groan, "Oh C'mon; that's not funny; I just wish that already for Primus's Sake!" Megatron (Prime) nearby snaps, angrily, "Starscream; Just be glad that I have some use of you, instead of death, so that I can vent my anger of disappointment and failures at you! I desire one ambition: conquest of Cybertron and the Universe. Only Megatron rules them all!" 8:26 AM Russell (Littlest Pet Shop 2012) smiles while saying, "I wish for my friends and all of animal pals to be free and safe from Largest Pet Shop." 8:30 AM Sunil (Littlest Pet Shop 2012) said to Twilight, "I wish that I can be brave as every heroes from Hasbro, even sweet Fluttershy." 8:36 AM Zoe (Littlest Pet Shop 2012) explains her wish to Twilight, "I wish that I can be famous star in my universe." 8:40 AM Blythe (Littlest Pet Shop 2012) now answers, "I wish that everyone from my universe can communicate and understand the animals' feelings." 8:43 AM Ray (Kaijudo) said, "I wish for both Humans and Monsters from Creature Realm live and work together in peace. Just like me and Bob." Tatsurion (Kaijudo) nods while saying, "I couldn't agree more. After all, both of us are meant to be together. All of you can try." 8:49 AM Duke (Resolute) now explains to Twilight of his own wish, "For the sake of my universe, I wish that there will be no war, destruction and Cobra. People will be safe from them." 8:55 AM Sentinel Prime (Animated) frowns while responding, "Wanna know what my wish is? I want to become the best and famous than Optimus Prime. I bet that fans would like me than anybots." Snowballs were thrown at Sentinel Prime. Transformers and Humans (from all versions) laughed at him. Bumblebee (WFC/Prime) comments, "You; Famous; No way! Optimus Prime is best and coolest bot in every universe! Way better than you, you jerk and coward. You couldn't even beat Sentinel Prime from the Movie. Beside, I'm famous too. Wanna know why? Coz I never let everybot and pal down." Ironhide (WFC) laughs, "You said it, kid! I maybe grumpy bot, but I'm a true, true friend to my pals and Optimus." Arcee (Prime) chuckles in agreement, "I couldn't agree more. Famous and power didn't make Optimus Prime famous; it's his nobility, courage, heroic, wisdom and kindness. He is the true Autobot." Miko (Prime) cheers on wildly, "You said it, Arcee!" Sari (Animated) taunts Sentinel Prime, "You are a big loser and coward, Sentinel!" Sentinel Prime (Animated) groans, "Everyone loved Optimus Prime than I am. This is so not my day. This is why I hate organics, especially this season! They can't even respect me!" 9:00 AM Optimus Prime (Prime) spoke to Twilight, "I do not desire or wish anything but peace and harmony to both Transformers and all living beings of this, every world and universe, even Megatron and our greatest enemy. This is Christmas and Hearth's Warming Eve. It is important, priceless and special to all of us. That is important to everyone. Let us be friends and enjoy our special event and moment." -------------------------- Once the reel is done, everyone, even some of the bad guys, made an 'awww' sound. Twilight smiled while saying, "Oh yes, very heartwarming and inspiring. Ben?" "Yeah, honey?" Ben asks Twilight with a smile. "To be honest, did you know that you, my friends, my family, and your smile are all I wish for?" "Twilight, you are the best mare that any Earth pony like me can wish for! You may be an alicorn but you are a sweet filly." "Aye, true love and friendship," Brave Heart chuckles before turning to his cousin, who frowns still, "So, Rainbow lassie; How about ye?" "Bah humbug! Wishes don't mean anything to me!" Rainbow scowls, making her friends concerned. Looks like the wishes didn't do anything for her either. "Hmmm, oh yes! Rainbow Dash, maybe this could work!" Twilight exclaims thoughtfully. "How about we keep the party going with a theory made up by Dr. Hooves, formerly known as Time Turner, which was from the time of Diamond Tiara stealing her own presents that we planned to give to her that she almost burned in the furnace?" "Ugh, you gotta bring that up!" Diamond Tiara exclaims in annoyance. "I mean, I thought those presents were for that dumb Gift Exchange that you do every year!" "Diamond Tiara, I told you before: I thought up the whole idea of giving you presents in hopes to give you some niceness and Hearth's Warming Eve spirit!" Silver Spoon reminds her friend with a frown. "Don't you remember?" "Sorry, I hate being reminded of my stupid mistakes." Twilight chuckles as she now say, "All right, we now turn to..." "THE SCIENCE OF SANTA HOOVES," Spike booms into his mike as the spotlight is shown right onto Dr. Hooves who grins on stage. "All right, everypony, good day! Today we are going to take a look at a theory which everyone asks, how does Santa Hooves deliver presents all over Equestria and the world in one night," Dr. Hooves ask with a smile, "To be honest, if there was milk and cookies waiting for yours truly, why I would definitely be flying around the world myself!" Dr. Hooves begins munching on a gingerbread cookie, coughing a bit as he continues, "Now then, Santa Hooves can get anywhere because he was driving this!" Sure enough, the stallion pulls in a mechanical sleigh. "This is a turbo charged Santa sleigh! It's copyrighted Dr. Hooves someday so don't steal. This thing can go fast, why even Santa Hooves himself can be in more places at the same time!" As if to prove Dr. Hooves right, another mechanical sleigh drove it with two other Time Turners appearing, the first one said in a British like voice, "Hey everypony!" "What did I told you? I didn't leave yet and I am there already, picking me up along the way!" "Obviously we are kinda the Dr. Hooves that were send for a demonstration with a cars a season back." The second Dr. Hooves/Time Turner points out, in another British-like voice, to the real one in concern. "And for the sleigh part..." "Sssh, don't ruin the magic." Dr. Hooves shush the second Time Turner in annoyance. "Got a box of gingerbread cookies," The first Time Turner exclaims while holding a box of cookies. "Let's eat!" Dr. Hooves smirks as he jumps into the sleigh while exclaiming, "All right, step on it," The other two Time Turners nods as the second one step on the gas, causing the sleigh to droves off very fast. The audience laughs while applauding. "Ha ha ha," Twilight laughs while turning to Rainbow. "Come on, Dashie, you got to admit, hearing the Santa Hooves and the wishes must put up in the spirit of Hearth's Warming Eve by now, right?" The others smile though Rainbow scowls angrily with her usual sour attitude, "Hearing Santa Hooves and wishes make me even more tick and angry! Wanna know why? He couldn't make my most important wish come true; so HUMBUG!" "Hoo boy, that didn't work." Soarin' said in concern. "Nothing we're doing appears to be working so far." "Well, why not we show another cartoon? That could work." Fluttershy suggests to everyone hopefully. "Why, so far even cartoons could bring a chuckle to Rainbow Dash's face." "Oh, yeah," Rainbow remarked sarcastically to everyone and everypony. "I'm so gonna be in a good mood when nearly all the cartoons are of me being used as a joke! Why not at least have Spike be humiliated! He's humiliated all the time!" "I'll have you know that I do get humiliated in some cartoons... but at least I have fun with it, I do laugh at them from time to time..." Spike pauses as he thought up something. "Actually, I think I have a Christmas cartoon about myself... hang on a sec!" The Dragon begins to digs around the box for that said cartoon.
