Invitations for Everyone!

A Hearth’s Warming Fantasy

Hearth’s Warming or as I like to call it Christmas… A holiday where everyone gets to hang around chatting, playing, poking at each other, all the usual stuff you would expect on this holiday! And I got a visit by a lot of ponies here! Let the fun begin!

Snow, the pure white fields of it covering the former Wasteland made by no other than Littlepip herself.

Our Hearth’s Warming event came after the world was slowly recovering from the effects of all the wars that came. The fight against the Eater of Souls, the war against Fillydelphia and Neighvarro, the fight against Nightmare Noob (I still find that nickname hilarious…), the inside fight of Fillydelphia, it was after all of that. You have no idea how much I wanted to do this after all of those events and invite all the people involved in it.

Okay, let me get started on how it all began. Yeah, I knew that Blackjack’s friends are deceased with the exception of Rampage (Or should she be named Arloste now? I don't know...) and Scotch Tape, but I had the ability to bring them back if only for a short amount of time just for Blackjack. Poor mare, having to lose all of them against the Eater of Souls. The same thing can be applied to Puppysmiles since her friends miss her. Littlepip and Murky were a bit luckier with their friends still alive. Of course both of them have conditions that seriously hampered their lifespan so they can’t live for long.

But enough of all those sad feels, this is Hearth’s Warming Eve! Where you’re supposed to be happy throughout this rare moment! That would have been easy if I wasn’t so sleepy trying to get up! I’m lucky that Pandora managed to wake up from my slumber, “Hey you sleepyhead! Get up; you’re going to miss out on the snow!”

I got of my bed as she went to the bathroom. I gave out one big yawn as I covered my mouth a few times looking outside the window seeing the beautiful crystals of ice fall down on the Wasteland. I walked up to the window opening it and smiling seeing the snow fall on my face. Surprisingly, it isn’t that cold today despite it being winter.

I checked on my PipBuck seeing the date. I had my biggest grin seeing what today is. I left the master bedroom of ours as I went into the living room. We had a house of our choosing in Baltimare after all of those. It’s not as comfy as one might think but it was relaxing to have a house just for me and Pandora. Of course everyone in Baltimare was generous to even give us a house even though I did decline the offer at first. Pandora talked me into renting the house and, well, here we are.

With that out of the way, I went to making invitations for everyone to come to… Where should we hold the Hearth’s Warming party? Originally, I was thinking of hosting the party in our house, but the space would is too small and it would cramp up a lot of space. Tenpony Tower seemed like the best idea but even after the war, everyone was still alert for who knows if the Enclave or Red Eye’s Army might come back. Dragon Cave was my next idea but I’m not so sure if… Nah, of course Spike would be happy to oblige, he needs some friends to come along to cure his loneliness.

I started on writing the invitations as Pandora came down from the bathroom hugging me from behind and kissing me on the cheek. It was warm and comforting to have that, “So, what are you doing?”

I gave her my best ‘do you have to ask’ look but only chuckled as I told her anyway, “I am making invitations for everyone we met so that we can gather at the Dragon Cave of Spike’s.”

Pandora smiled hearing that realizing quickly what today is, “Hearth’s Warming Eve huh? Well now, shall I get the food ready?’

I kissed her for a short while before departing our lips, “If you think you can cook enough food for about I don’t know twenty or so of our friends, be my guest.”

“You know I can cook enough for all of them!” She chuckled as she began to start cooking on the food. Getting the ingredients for her signature foods, a knock came upon the door as she started cooking, “Zodiac, someone is knocking on the door!”

“I got it!” I left the dinner table as I went to the door opening it to see both Epsilon and Harmony together, “Harmony! Epsilon! It’s good to see you two here!” I hugged them both as they hugged me back.

They pushed me away as I let go of the hug, “We wouldn’t miss a chance of celebrating this momentous occasion! Right Harmony?”

“Aw shut up brother of mine!” She gave a punch to his metal arms as the both of them. Harmony lifted her nose upward smelling the aroma of the food being cooked. She turned to see Pandora cooking as she walks to the kitchen, “Hello Pandora!”

“Harmony welcome!” They hugged each other and backed away from each other as Pandora focused her attention on the cooking, “Say Harmony can you help with cooking?”

“Sure I’ll help with the cooking!” She set her jacket down on the coat racket getting some of the ingredients that Pandora requested for.

“Be careful that you don’t make a mess when you cook Harmony…” She blew a raspberry as she averted her gaze back to helping Pandora’s cooking. He came close to me ear as I still making the invitations for our friends, “She’s a terrible cook I dare say, don’t eat her food.”

I chuckled lightly as I was getting more paper for the invitations. So many friends it was crazy to have this much, it was like a sort of a family reunion in the Wasteland I’d say. Another knock came upon the door as I was getting some materials, “I got the door! Say Epsilon can you finish those invitations for me?”

“Already on it!” True to his word, he was getting the materials for the invitations as I went to the door. I opened the door to see Noir and Aura there. I hugged the both of them as I welcomed them, “Noir! Aura! Welcome you two, come enter!”

Noir entered and was already awash in the family love of Harmony and Epsilon and me and Pandora’s intimate love, “Ah so much love! Especially the intimate love for you and Pandora, Zodiac!” He turned to see me blushing a bit from that exchange. Pandora could only chuckle from hearing that, “What?”

Both Harmony and Epsilon just shrugged while Aura sighed hearing that response from our beloved changeling, “You just had to say that out didn’t you Noir?”

“Hey, at least I didn’t need a jacket comparing to you. I hate the fact that you’re half draconian, half pony.” He poked at his lower draconian half putting emphasis on it.

Aura just rolled her eyes from that, “Don’t go blaming the existence of the kirin race Noir.”

Pandora and Harmony were making delicious food as the aroma hit all of our nostrils. Aura couldn’t help but let a few bits of saliva escape from his mouth as he walked to the food. Pandora eyed the kirin as he looked at the food. He did back away a bit but Pandora found some use for the kirin, “Say Aura, can you help with the cooking?”

Aura smiled as he grabbed a cooking apron ready to help them. I smiled seeing the three of them helping each other. Me and Epsilon were getting to finishing the last of the invitations as I checked the time. We still had a lot of time at the moment as we finished. Epsilon gave me his half as I stacked the other. I grabbed some jackets and a scarf for me. What? An alicorn can still freeze to death; we’re all not that powerful even if we are omnipotent, “Alright everyone, I’m going to send these invitations out now! Do all of you know how to get to Dragon Cave?”

Noir looked at everyone and all they did was gave a shrug, he did as well, much to my chagrin, “Are you guys serious? I took you all to Dragon Cave before! You should all be able to…!” A smirk appeared on everyone’s face as I realized that I got caught in that, “You’re all playing with me aren’t you?”

“Maybe…?” They all said it at perfect unison still having those smirks on their faces. I could only scowl as I left the house to give the invitation to all of our friends. They all exploded into laughter as I left my household. Haha, very funny…

Normally I would teleport to their destinations to make it quick, but with all this wonderful snow falling on my body, I decided to just fly to those destinations as I can enjoy the scenery. My first one was to deliver the news to Spike first. He needs to know this because I really don’t want to surprise him when he sees all of our friends gathering there.

I looked above me as the pure white clouds glistened in the night like stars in the endless space. Many of the snow landed on my belly sending chills throughout my whole body. It was very nice to feel the snow trickle on my body. I looked downward and see the children playing around in the snow making snow angels and snowponies (Have no idea how they do that…), playing a snowball fight, and sliding down some snow hills with sleds. The joy on their faces we very much deserved after so much turmoil to achieve peace.

I looked ahead to see the mountain where Dragon Cave is. I hasten myself hoping to see Spike still there probably sleeping at the moment. I landed in front of the entrance surprised to see Spike not only awake but also chatting with a Pegasus I’m very much familiar with. I banged on the metal walls hoping to get Spike’s attention. That sound made Fluttershy jump a bit as she went behind Spike. I rubbed my head forgetting the fact that she was still timid even if she is leader, “Ah… Sorry Fluttershy, forgot that you were still timid…”

She popped her head out of Spike first out of fear but then calmness took over for her seeing that it was just me, “Oh it’s nothing Zodiac… I just came by… to visit…” She made a squeak sound as she put her face behind her tail. I came forward, comforting her as she stood up, “I know that I’m supposed to be the leader, but it’s just so…”

“Difficult, frightening, the usual stuff?” Spike said that answer for me. God damn it, even now someone cuts me off from what I was about to say.

“Yes… I know that, but I can’t just help about it at times.” Spike bought his gigantic hand behind Fluttershy comforting her this time instead of me.

“No worries Fluttershy, you’ll be able to do it, I know you can…” He shifted his attention to me, “Now what about you? Why are you here?”

I facehoofed there forgetting about what I was here for! Stupid memory of mine, “Sorry Spike I forgot. Well since Fluttershy is here, I was going to…” At that moment, something hit me there. Without even realizing that I just said it out loud, “Fluttershy, how did you get here?” Spike raised his hand to answer that question. Well, that pretty much simplifies things there didn’t it? “Okay that answers that, I came here to tell you that I’m inviting some friends here for a Hearth’s Warming celebration.”

Fluttershy almost smiled immediately as she heard that, “Oh really? I’d like to join in this, maybe I might get a chance to talk with Littlepip.”

Spike nodded his head in agreement hearing what I offered, “Yeah, I’d like that, helps to bring every one of our friends here for a bit of fun right?”

My wings fluttered in happiness hearing their responses, “Thank you Spike, well I got to send all these invitations out soon, don’t want to be late. Oh! Spike I have a favor of you to ask.” Spike’s ears perked as he brings his head close to me. I pushed him away a bit, I need my personal space here, “Can you go to my home at Baltimare? I go friends already cooking the food for all of us…”

Spike smiled giving me a thumbs up as a response, “Sure, I’ll be there soon!”

“Thanks Spike, I really appreciate it.” I went out of the entrance and flew to the closest destination as Spike carried Fluttershy off to Baltimare. I wonder which destination was closest from Dragon Cave? I checked on my PipBuck checking which area is closest and found that Tenpony Tower was to be our next destination. An arrow pointed to the general direction. I made a hard right to Tenpony Tower holding onto the invitations for Homage and possibly Calamity and Velvet Remedy.

Again the sound of children playing around in the snow reached my ears. It still was very soothing to see them playing around. Having already reached Tenpony Tower in record time, I landed on the spire of Tenpony Tower gracefully. Well, almost gracefully, I slipped on some ice that was caked on the roof tumbling until I gained some traction skidding to a stop. Note to self, don’t land on it like you would do with an airplane.

I entered through the door at the roof entering the radio station where Homage was delivering some news as DJ Pon3, “Good morning wastelanders! This is DJ Pon3 here and what a day it is today, Snow is falling and you guys know what today is? That’s right! It’s Hearth’s Warming Eve! To all those who have family members or friends out there, go join them and celebrate the fun times. Don’t go staying in your homes when you all can share in the opportunity to have some fun with friends and family! Eat a buffet, play around in the snow, or just gather around a fire and enjoy one another! As of right now, no news of the Enclave or Red Eye’s army lurking around so all of you are safe from them! Again have some fun because DJ Pon3 won’t be around during this time, because he’s going to visit some friends! This is DJ Pon3 signing off for now until the holidays are over!”

I saw Homage put her hoof off the transceiver smiling to deliver good news for today. Her ears perked as she turns around to see me clapping my hooves here, “Well done DJ Pon3! Well done indeed Homage.”

She came charging at me and hugged me, “Zodiac, it’s good to see you here!”

I hugged her back in return of hers, “As it is to see you as well Homage.”

I let go of the hug as she distances herself, “Well what brings the Angel of Darkness here?”

I looked away a bit, my face blushing a bit from that response. She chuckled lightly there seeing my reaction. I cleared my throat as I pulled out the invitation for her, “I got invitations for you, Xenith, Velvet, and Calamity to come to Dragon Cave for a Hearth’s Warming dinner. You want to come?”

“Of course I’ll come! I wouldn’t miss the chance to go there!” She took the invitation seeing that two more invitations were under it, “I’ll make sure to bring the others along! Say you bringing my little lightbringer there as well?”

I tried to stifle a laugh there. Damn, Homage just never stops to crack me up even if we were far away, “Yeah of course I’ll bring Littlepip along as well.” I winked at her knowing what she is going to do once I bring her in. She did blush a bit from that, but returned the gesture as well. We said our farewells as I left for the next people to invite. Now who’s closest now? Checking on my PipBuck, I saw that Puppy’s friends were close from Tenpony Tower, just right around the edge of Emerald Shores now renamed Nightmare’s Fall where Puppy’s tombstone is next to her mother.

They are probably mourning for the loss of such an innocent filly like her even though she was dead before. Well, that’s going to change very soon! I flew to the next destination being Nightmare’s Fall. On a holiday like this; I am not going to see sad faces! Oh goodness, am I starting to be like Pinkie Pie right now?

The flight there was relatively short. Over the soon-to-be-rebuilt city of Nightmare’s Fall (I got to find a way to not say the city name constantly), The sounds of water crashing into the cliffside soothed every little bit of my body. At the edge of the cliff stood Puppysmiles’s friends and her own tombstone saying their share of words. It warms my heart to see them saying their words to a good friend. I waited for a few minutes, best not interrupt them right?

Henrietta of course was the most hurt out of all them despite her being a griffin from what I can tell. As they finished up, I came forth to her gravestone which caught some of them off guard. To be honest, I never got the chance to visit the tombstone and leave a gift for her. For my gift, I left a bouquet of flowers on her tombstone. After that was over, then they decided to ask specifically Henry, “Who the bloody hell are you?”

Of course, I never properly introduced myself to them before but regardless I gave each one of them an invitation to the Hearth’s Warming dinner, “My name is Zodiac, and well, I happen to be one of those people that Puppy here touched.” I looked back at the tombstone shifting my attention back to them, “Sorry for not being there when the fight against you-know-who happened. I heard about it from a friend named Watcher… er Questioner I meant”

They all looked at each other for quite some time before Henry spoke for them, “Hey if you know Puppy then you’re a friend to me.” The other agreed with each other as they pulled out the invitations I gave them, “What this for by the way?”

“Oh that? It’s an invitation to Questioner’s cave. Me and a bunch of friends of mine are going to have a Hearth’s Warming Eve party, wanna join?” Of course many of them were somewhat disagreeing with me here. Expected, but I had a little trick up my hoof, “What if I were to tell that I can bring back Puppysmiles for just this holiday?”

All looked at me like I was crazy. They did initially believe me since I was an alicorn but they wanted proof that I can do it. That question came from a ghoul by the name of Molten Gold, “Can you truly bring her back from the dead?”

Of course after that Henry came very close to my face glaring daggers at me, “Don’t lie to us, if you so much as joke about it, I will not hesitate to kill right here and right now even if you are an alicorn.”

Happy and Jamie pulled her back giving me the truth eye wanting to believe me. Oh much tension by these guys it was ridiculous, then another pony came up carrying a saddle with him, “Guys? What are you doing here…?” He saw me with a bouquet of flowers behind him.

Happy told this merchant everything so far. He looked to Jamie seeing if he was imagining this but he pointed at me for the question. He put down his stuff coming to me, “Is it true that you can… bring Puppy back?”

They all eyed me wanting me, again, to prove to them that I can do this. Of course I wasn’t going to keep them waiting for so long! I concentrated my magic on the form of Puppysmiles herself. Her form begins to take shape in my mind and suddenly a bright light emerged from where I pointed the horn. Everyone but me covered their eyes as I looked to see the form of Puppy complete.

They all took their arms away and, much to their surprise, they saw her in front of them. Even that was proven by her actually speaking, “Guys? Are you all alright? Is there something on my face?” I was watching her trying to get what was on her face off only to see that she was in the suit, “Aw! I’m in the suit again! Wwaaahhhh!” She turned around to see me behind her. She smiled as she waved to me, “Hi there Mister Zodiac!”

“Hey there Puppy!” I lowered myself and rubbed her helmet like I would do with a mane.

Before she got the chance to do anything else, Henry picked her up and hugged tightly much to my surprise, “Puppy! You little rascal! How’s your day with your mom going?”

Puppy could only smile seeing Henry and her friends well including myself, “I’m good! I got the chance to meet my mom in this cool place and…” She went silent as the snow fell on her helmet melting with it, “Oh snow!” She went down and did a snow angel giggling as she waved her arms and legs. Most of her friends had tears and joined in with her. I couldn’t help but chuckle seeing them all of them do this.

Henry stood up shifting his gaze to me, “Well you just proved that you can bring this little ball of crazy…”

I saw Puppysmiles get up and, well, you know what kids do, “Hey! I’m not crazy!”

Henry ignored her and continued to chat with me, “We’ll join your party! Say where this Questioner is by the way?”

Without me even me seeing it coming, she jumped on me and made me go on my back hopping like Pinkie. “You got to meet Questioner? Can I see him!? PLEASE!?

I got Puppysmiles off me with some telekinesis answering her question for her, “You will Puppy! No worries…” I looked at each one of them as they stood up looking at me, “If you guys want to know where he is, he’s right up there.” I pointed to where Spike would be from my understanding.

They turned their attention looking at where Spike’s Cave would be and without them even knowing, I teleported every one of them to Dragon Cave. Most of them were dizzy and were blaming me for that, but managed to calm down. Puppy on the other wanted me to do it again, “Sorry I can’t do it again but you can see Questioner right there.” They all turned and were shocked to see a dragon there.

They were about to run until he spoke to Puppy, “Puppy is that you?”

“Hi there Questioner! Wow, I did not know you are a dragon, can you show you did it with the bot thingy?” He looked at me wondering if this was real or not. I denied that this was fake poking at Puppy to prove my point. She yelped in pain (Does she even have pain receptors?) when I pinched her, “Ow that hurt there!”

I only chuckled as Puppy’s friends came in seeing that Spike was gentle, “Guess you guys are the first one that’s not my friends! I got to go and invite more people here, don’t try to do anything disastrous!” I left them much to their disapproval as I went to invite the next few people left. Goodness, this inviting thing is taking much longer than anticipated. So far, mine was here first than its Puppy’ friends second if I was correct. That leaves Murky’s friends and Blackjack’s friends who are... Nope, no negative thoughts today please.

I should head to Fillydelphia, I hope that Murky is there for me to give the invitation because I’d be happy to see his reaction when he finds out about Littlepip himself. Oh boy am I evil today!

==========

The flight to Filydelphia was a bit shorter than expected. No smog covering the city thank goodness, that stuff I would hate to breathe in. I flew to the Mall where supposedly Murky would be. Landing on a part of the broken roof of the Mall, I was a bit surprised that he was not here, instead someone else was here. A mare to be exact.

What was her name again? I can’t seem to remember. I checked the invitations seeing if her name was written on here. I did find the name of this mare, Unity. Huh, what a nice name and her being the love of Murky, it would make things interesting. I flew down in front of her much to her surprise. She did calm down upon seeing who I was, “Oh it’s just you Zodiac.” She stood up shaking off some of the snow that cling to her body, “What are you here for?”

I gave the invitations to her, “Invitations for you, Murky, anyone who you know. We’re throwing a big Hearth’s Warming Eve party and well, I’d like to see you there.”

She smiled thanking me for the invitations; “Thanks I’ll see to it that everyone here gets them.” Before she left to give them to her friends, something clicked in her mind, “Oh, can you get some alcohol for Glimmerlight? She said that she would want some for the party.”

Aw great, do I really need to get them? I reluctantly agreed with Unity’s request. She smiled as she left for Murky and company. Great, we’re going to have two drunks in the party, one being Blackjack and the other Glimmerlight. This just cannot get any worse right?

Well next on my list, Blackjack. Flying from Fillydelphia to Hoofington is probably going to take a while from my guessing. I wonder how Blackjack is handling this right now? Hope I can still invite her in even with her friends gone. Then again I can bring them back for this one holiday so it’s like she’s not going to the party right?

==========

Turns out finding her is not going to be easy as I thought. She was hard to locate with all of this snow. Her coat is white and that makes it even harder for me to find her under this field. I checked out all of the possible locations she could be in such as Chapel, the Stadium, almost all of them. Ugh, this is going to be difficult than I imagined. Throughout my search, I had almost given up in finding Blackjack until I managed to find her standing on a cliff looking over the ocean.

I flew to where I saw her and landed to her side. She didn’t to hesitate as she responded when I neared her, “Hey…” I moved to her side looking over the ocean as well. The sounds of the ocean, again, were soothing to my ears. I wonder if she was here to relax, “This was where I almost committed suicide.”

Come again? “This here spot? You almost committed suicide?”

She was silent for some time looking over the cliff and into the endless vast sea, “Crazy huh? One minute I was here wanting nothing but to commit suicide and the next thing you know, Spike came and showed me the Gardens of Equestria.”

I looked at the vast ocean in front of me looking at the snow that descends in front of us, their cold touch making contact with my coat. I was about to put a wing over her body to comfort her but decided better to not go for it focusing in the roaring ocean, “Time sure does fly by fast doesn’t it Blackjack?”

She was silent again, this one lasting longer than the last one. Was she still troubled by the loss of three of her friends? I wanted to give her the invitation but… I’m not so sure if I should though. Blackjack talked me out of my thought process looking into the ocean, “It sure does. To be honest, aw what am I saying I don’t think I’m ever honest…”

“You still bothered by the loss of your friends aren’t you?” I was right to the point as she looked a bit down. She knew well enough and was in that ‘I want to kick myself’ trance. I whacked her rump with my tail eliciting a yelp from her, “Come on Blackjack, I know you are the guilt-tripper but had your friends and you not have done all of what you did, I don’t think even Littlepip would have survived to see another day.”

Blackjack was rubbing her rump in pain with a bit of red on her face. She did understand what I said though as she looked at the ocean again, “You’re right. I guess that I feel a bit lonely even with Scotch and Rampage. Thanks Zodiac, really needed that.”

“No problem Blackjack, why do you think that I enjoyed being around you and Littlepip?’ She was chuckling as she did a jab on my chest. I pulled out the invitation with Rampage and Scotch in it and gave it to her, “Here, invitations for the Hearth’s Warming party if you, Scotch, and Rampage want to come. I’ll also bring Littlepip and your deceased friends back for just this holiday. Everyone should be here to celebrate and I want to see you smile.”

She did indeed smile as she turned around, leaving the spot where she almost committed suicide, “I’ll be there! Get me some of that Wild Pegasus so we can really throw down!” She ran back to where Rampage and Scotch would be as I stood where she was. Yeah right, like I’m going to give her some of that stuff, I’m denying her and Glimmerlight that privilege. I don’t want them drunk like a certain Scottish explosive man I’d rather not think of. She screamed back at me from faraway apparently about me denying her booze, “And don’t you dare deny me some Wild Pegasus!” Did she read my thoughts before she left?

Well I got everyone I needed to invite, all that remains is Littlepip and we have a complete set. I extended my wings checking to see if they have enough for one more flight. Popping some of the bones, I took off to the S.P.P. in hopes that I can get her for Homage to have some fun times with Littlepip.

==========

I had already reached the S.P.P. with tired wings as I saw Littlepip… sleeping through the job. I looked at Celestia who just shrugged. I pulled out some potions as I gulped it down. Immediately my stomach felt as I expelled green fire onto the barrier opening it for me to enter. Never thought Dragon’s Flame would be as handy as a curative for radiation and as a way to enter the S.P.P tower. I slipped through the barrier easily entering inside the tower and to the side of Littlepip sleeping. I looked at Celestia who was chuckling.

I had a funny idea that I wanted to do on Littlepip ever since I saw her. I never got the chance to use it but now that I’m here and she’s asleep, well why not use this opportunity? She was sleeping peacefully snuggling her… Homage doll? Well this is something I’m not willing to forget ever!

I licked my hoof (Tastes so disgusting comparing that to hands) looking at Celestia seeing if she approved this. Her trying to stifle her mouth pretty much confirmed her answer. I pressed my salivated hoof onto her chest and rubbing it upwards. Littlepip was shuddering from the feeling but was not waking up.

Well, that didn’t work. What would happen if I? I pulled an alarm clock from the bag and set to ring loud like a freight train. Five seconds after that, I covered my ears and the clock made the loudest ringing sound I ever heard. She jerked up screaming her lungs as she looked at the alarm clock. I was rolling on the floor laughing my lungs out seeing her reaction! She was definitely not pleased with that, “Not funny Zodiac!”

“Oh please! If… you hadn’t… slept through the…” I could not stop laughing though my chat with as I was clutching my chest from so much laughing. She just rolled her eyes as I stopped laughing. I stood up and wiped a tear away from all of that, “Ha… Ha… Oh I am so sorry there Littlepip.” I cleared my throat returning back on topic, “Well since you are now awake want join me and many others in the Hearth’s Warming party we’re holding? We’re all waiting on you.”

She eyed me curiously and raised her eyebrow on me? This can’t be good… “Um, what’s Hearth’s Warming Eve?”

I looked at Celestia wondering whether I was dreaming of this or she’s gone cray-cray from that wake-up call. She shook her head on the yes category. I just stood there with my mouth open looking at Littlepip and then proceeded to facehoof there because this is just wrong, “You’re kidding? You’re kidding right? How could you not know what Hearth’s Warming is!? You should have…” A smirk appeared on both Littlepip and Celestia as I got caught in that trap again… “Why do I always get caught in this trap?”

Both just shrugged not minding why about it. Ah, whatever, at least this got me a little giddy to bring her to the party. I placed a lifespan spell on Littlepip granting her temporary extended lifespan to that of alicorns. Knowing almost all of the known spells from across the many universes has its perks. She stepped out of the pod with as Celestia made a green portal to the party, “Well, you ready Littlepip?”

She looked nervous as far as I can tell, “I’m not so sure, this is my first time going to this kind of party…”

I wrapped her around my three right wings as I comforted her. “It’s okay; it’s everyone’s first time since after a whole slew of events. You’re not alone.” We both smiled as we entered the portal and outside the S.P.P. into the Dragon Cave where literally everyone was here. They all looked at us oddly with different expressions. I looked at the direction where Homage and… oh no… Blackjack and Glimmerlight were eyeing us with those mischievous grins on their faces, “So… Did you two managed to have some smexy times?”

The two of us immediately backed away from another, our faces blushing red. I did remember the promise with Blackjack as I resurrected Glory, P-21, and surprisingly Lacunae, not so sure how on the alicorn but not like it really matters. After that feat and of Littlepip denying what those three said, the whole party started and it only got crazier from then on.
