A heartwarming christmas story

Old Shoelaces an old, retired and weak unicorn living by himself. The last holiday of the year is here, and he sleeps in his bed. The days pass by while he idly sleeps. But then somepony comes knocking on his door, and suddenly his life became that much more important.

I thought about this three days ago and I fell in love with the concept as I thought it through. Hope you enjoy, and I hope you like it! Please leave a comment and rate it!

After the past events I find myself shoulder to shoulder with my new fellowship. Together we must go to Canterlot and deliver the warning of the Shadow's return. But getting there will be so much more than we bargained for...

Note: This fanfic is the sequel to "By the Borders", made by me as well. BUT I won't make it entirely neccesary to read that as well. "By the Borders" was my stepping stone for making fanfics, so this will be my greater project. Proper introductions will be made in the prologue, the characters will have entire chapters for delving further into who they really are.

I'm sorry, but I'll be busy with a "christmas fanfic" first before resuming this storyline.

And feedback is in the highest degree wanted, both voting and/or commenting.

Edit: Apologies, but chapters will come at a slower rate due to upcoming tests... But they WILL be coming.

After literally dropping into another world unknown to me, I find myself getting new friends. The price of this however, is the dangers we face, and the darkness I must face alone. Laughter, kindness, loyalty, honesty and compassion. The five elements of harmony is the foundation of friendship. All of us will be put through trials, and validating the true value of our friendship. I must choose my friends wisely, they must decide wether to trust me or not, and we must all get through this. But where in the hay are we? And will we ever have a day without trials or troubles? Probably not. But I'll try to make the most of it either way!

TL;DR: I'm in Equestria, but I'm always in deep shit. Luckily I won't face it alone... I hope.

And very important: I'm not done with "By the Borders". But when I am, you will see that it is merely an introduction to a larger project I will start with soon. THAT story WILL include canon characters (and some fanon), and it will also be more canon material.
