Luna and Twilight devise a spell to go back in time and view the dream that inspired Celestia to become an alicorn.

It's not what they expected.

After the events of "Magic Duel", Trixie abandons Ponyville after all the trouble she caused, afraid of what will happen if she were to stay. During her long travel, she stops at a diner to get some food, but this decision will affect Trixie much more than she expects.

Celestia has always been more interested in the future than the past. She does not dwell on mistakes – hers, or others'.

But sometimes memories lurk in the oddest of places, and when they strike not even a god can resist their gravity.

A short story written for the recent Writeoff competition.

Ah, Hearth's Warming. The best time of the year! Just ask anypony on the street and they will tell you how much they love Hearth's Warming. The decorations all over the place, shining in their eyes. Presents all stacked neatly under their tree, begging to be opened. And the overall spirit of the holidays, spreading joy to everypony you would meet.

The day is Hearth's Warming Eve and everypony is gearing up for what is the best holiday of the year!

Well, except one pony. Yes, one pony is not into the holiday spirit. The Critique. Not surprising though. He's kind of an ... well, this is a story for everyone, so I can't call him what he deserves to be called, but let's just say it's starts with an 'a' and rhymes with 'glass mole'.

Heck, even his Computer seems to be in the holiday spirit! And she's a freaking machine! So, why the heck can't he be?! What a jerk!

He's rude, he's a hypocrite, he hated Equestria Girls, and he picks his nose when nopony is looking. Ew...

So, why the heck are we focusing on him? Heck if I know. This story doesn't. If I were reading any story, I'd be reading something like Our Gifts by The Descendant.

Monkeys mock mildew more menacingly than most mammals.

Seriously, go read something from TheWraithWriter or from Lunar Metal. I'm sure they've got better stories than this one.

You really want to reach the bottom, don't you?

Pumpkin pie preaches proper punctuation for poor penmanship.

Seriously, guys. There is nothing down here. You are just wasting your time.

I'm serious. Go read something from HudsonHawk or Fedorasarecool.

I'm sure they have some great stories you could read.

How long are you going to keep this up? Seriously?

It was the butler the whole time! That's not cliche, is it?

Okay, you guys deserve a little something since you made it to the end. Okay, I'll let you in on a big secret about the Critique. His real name is

Rarity helps a beautiful mare pick out the perfect hat in her boutique.
