Hearth's Warming Eve~
"Oh goodness, Angel! I'm a mess," said Fluttershy, as she hastily set up some decorations around the cottage. Over the fireplace, lay two stockings, with the names Angel and Fluttershy. Both were red, except Angel's had a blue ribbon while Fluttershy's was pink. "Discord will be here any second!"
"Why do you want that dishrag to come here?" asked Angel.
"Angel! He is not a dishrag," Fluttershy scolded. A knock on the door sounded, and her ears perked up. "Oh, here he is!"
"Go get your coltfriend," said Angel, rolling his eyes, and leaping on the couch. "I'm not giving up this couch today." Fluttershy turned bright red.
"Um, he's not my coltfriend," said Fluttershy. "But I-" Another knock, except this time it was louder. She rushed to the door, and opened it, and smiled. "Oh my, I'm sorry for taking so long, Di-" But it wasn't Discord. It was Rainbow.
"'Sup Flutters, may I come in?" asked Rainbow.
"O-Oh, what a nice surprise," said Fluttershy. She was pretty disappointed it wasn't Discord. "Come on in, would you like some hot chocolate?"
"Some of that sounds good. I'm freezing!" said Rainbow. Fluttershy went out into the kitchen, and she set the kettle on, adding some cocoa powder inside. She headed back into the living room, to see Rainbow sitting next to Angel.
"What brings you here? Sorry to ask, sorry if I'm rude," said Fluttershy. Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"Well, I wanted to let you know us pegasus ponies of the weather team scheduled one heck of a snow storm tonight! Request from Twilight to make it super white for Hearth's Warming," said Rainbow.
"Okay, thanks for the warning. Now I know to let some animals in tonight," said Fluttershy. The kettle whistled. "I better get that." A few minutes later, she came out with two mugs of hot chocolate. Rainbow took it, and drank.
"I needed that," Rainbow said. The cup was half full now. "Here, I have a present for you, since I'm going to be with some friends on the Wonderbolts for Hearth's Warming." She untucked her wing, and revealed a wrapped box.
"Aw, thanks, let me get your present," said Fluttershy, quickly rummaging through a pile of presents in the corner, until she came across the one that read 'Rainbow Dash'. She handed it to Rainbow, and took her own. "Thank you for the present." She ripped it open, and she smiled as she saw it was a little fox plush. "It's adorable!" Fluttershy hugged it to her chest.
"And this is awesome!" exclaimed Rainbow, pulling a golden pendant with the pattern of her cutie mark in silver. She walked over and hugged Fluttershy. "This is absolutely amazing! Thank you, Fluttershy."
"Your welcome," replied Fluttershy, smiling.
"Well, I better get going," said Rainbow, glancing at the clock above the fireplace. "If I want to get all my gifts to my friends and get to the Wonderbolts on time, I better go. Thanks for the cocoa and the awesome pendant." She walked to the door, after taking one last drink of the cocoa.
"Goodbye, Rainbow," said Fluttershy, waving. Rainbow waved back, and she was gone, back outside in the cold weather.
"Disappointed that is wasn't your coltfriend?" asked Angel.
"H-He isn't my coltfriend, I already told you," said Fluttershy, turning red yet again.
"Aw, I thought we had something special," pouted a new voice from behind Fluttershy.
"Discord!" exclaimed Fluttershy, whipping around, and hugging Discord. "I missed you so much!" Discord smiled, and he looked slightly pink in the firelight.
"I missed you too," said Discord. "Now, for your first present of thirteen." He handed her a checkered box, which was surprisingly small.
"Oh, I didn't have anything for you today," said Fluttershy, guiltily.
"That's fine. You having me here is the best present I could ever ask for," said Discord. Fluttershy smiled. She opened the box, and inside shone a silver butterfly necklace.
"Oh my Celestia, it's beautiful," gawked Fluttershy.
"Allow me," said Discord. He took the necklace out of its case, and put it around her neck. Fluttershy was soothed by his paw and claw grazing on her neck. She didn't realize she was leaning on his paw until he laughed. "Getting comfortable, are we?" Fluttershy turned even redder.
"O-Oh! I'm sorry," said Fluttershy quickly, getting off his paw. Discord frowned for a moment. "Would you like some hot chocolate? I have extra, and it's still warm."
"That would be great, my dear," replied Discord. Fluttershy gave him one last smile, and went into the kitchen. What was she going to do? She didn't have a present. Even though Discord said having her over was good enough, Fluttershy still felt guilty. She had a few presents for Hearth's Warming day, not eve! She started breathing quickly, until she thought of something to do. Fluttershy blushed at the thought, but it was the least she could do. She grabbed the mug of hot chocolate, and blew on it, and went back to Discord.
"It's nice and hot," said Fluttershy. Discord took a sip.
"It's delicious," commented Discord.
"I'm glad you like it," said Fluttershy. "And by the way, I do have a present for you."
"Do you now?" asked Discord, raising an eyebrow. Fluttershy smiled, leaning up, and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Happy Hearth's Warming Eve," said Fluttershy, giggling giddily, and sitting in a chair. She blushed, and stared into the fire, leaving the dumbstruck draconequus to think about what happened.
