By any objective standard, Zephyr Breeze has made a hash of his life. Obnoxious, lazy, and self-deluded, he has, unfortunately, taken his worst traits unto the grave. At least the pressure’s off his back now, surely? However, the Grim Reaper – or shall we say the Graceful Lady of Harvests? – has other ideas.

Christmas has come once again to the city of Canterlot, and everyone was excited to share in the upcoming festivities of the holiday. Gifts would be shared, laughter would be heard, and people would eat, drink, and be merry.

But one day at Crystal Prep, when the Shadowbolts realise that Sugarcoat is far less than happy with the traditions and joy of the season, they swoop to her aid and try to find a way of helping her smile once again.

Why does Princess Celestia leave Twilight to face all the villains?
