Scootaloo is celebrating Hearth's Warming with everypony on Sweet Apple Acres, but Scootaloo can't bring herself to join the fun because she's beginning to have doubts about Santa Hooves. When a magic train pulls up in the middle of the night and asks the crusaders to come on a journey to Hearth's Warming town in the Frozen North where Santa Hooves supposedly lives, will Scoot get her answer?

Hearth's Warming Eve is coming, and Scootaloo, like all ponies, is looking forward to it. On returning home to the orphanage, she discovers the decorations arent exactly what she imagined. Spurred on by the surpressed sadness in the other ponies eyes, she decides that she has to do something about it...

This is a special three-part short for Christmas and shares nothing in common with my other underway fic, Ruining Harmony.

On Christmas Eve The Cutie Mark Crusaders try to stay up to get a picture of Santa Hooves.

The Hearth's Warming season has always been known as a time of celebration and happiness in Equestria, even in some of its darkest times. On Hearth's Warming eve, amazing things have been known to happen. When their world seemed so dark and unforgiving, even the worst of enemies can put aside their differences, If for only a day.

(A quick, one shot, ponified, version of the old story of the Christmas Eve Cease Fire in 1914)

Everypony in Ponyville is having a blast, what with Christmas coming up. But one pony, Scootaloo, isn't having a great time. Rainbow Dash is in the hospital, after she and Scootaloo encountered some rough ponies. She had some scratches, but Dash had some major injuries. Scootaloo worries that Dash won't make it. The Mane Six and some others notice her droopiness, so they team up to make a super fun party for Scootaloo's happiness, also included with some singing! This musical is a joy to read, unless you don't like your favorite pony being injured and in the hospital!
(Note: Feel free to sing my parodies of songs and post somewhere!
Just let me know, and credit me/the original person who made them! <3, Akemi-chan)

Hearth's Warmning Eve is a time of family and of joy. One of many traditions involved in this most beautiful of holidays is the presents given to the young ponies.

One small filly wish only for one thing. A wish that can never be fulfilled.

Things are pretty awful in my life and it just keeps getting worse. That is until I get sent to Ponyville and I find out one of my favorite stories is actually real.

"Dear Santa Hooves. My name is Apple Bloom, and I don't want presents for Hearth's Warming this year. I just want my cutie mark..."
