It's been some time since Sun has one of her dreams, and Canterlot City has having a lot of snow falling from the sky. It's just the beginning of winter break from school and christmas is on it's way. In Sun's house, Discord and Screwball are thinking of idea on how to get their decorations up for the holidays and activities to do for their break.
"I love this time of year," Screwball happily replies.
"I know. There are a lot of stuff to do and it's very magical," Discord replies with a smile.
Discord asks with excitement, "So how should we kick this Christmas off?"
"We should go get the christmas tree first. Then we can decorate the tree and the rest of the house," Screwball suggests with a smile.
"Those are good idea, but there's something we need to do first,"
"What's that?" Screwball asks.
"We can start by getting your sister to focus on us and not on the snow," Discord says as he face the window.
Screwball turns to see Sun sitting on the window sill watching the snow slowly falling from the sky. Screwballs walks towards Sun to her her humming a tone that she doesn't know of. She really like to know what kind of song Sun is humming and get her attention back the plans for christmas.
Screwball calmly says, "Hey sis."
"Yes Screwball," Sun replies, still looking at the window.
Screwball starts to drag Sun by the arm as she happily says, "Come on, we decided to go get the christmas tree."
"Right," Sun replies with a smile.
Sometime later, Discord is driving Sun and Screwball to get their christmas tree. The place they are going is at the other side of Canterlot City so it has taken some time getting there. Just then Screwball is noticing Sun is humming the same song again and wonder what kind of song is it.
Screwball asks, "By the way, what were you humming earlier and right now."
"It's just something I remember, but I don't remember the words to the song," Sun replies with a calm smile.
"Aw well, no arguments here," Screwball replies with a smile and yet feels a bit disappointed.
Just then their dad happily says, "Here we are girls."
Sun and Screwball look at the windows to see a lot of trees and a lot of people there as well. sun is surprised to see so many trees and they are different shapes and sizes. Sun starts to think that she has done something like that before, but doesn't remember what that is.
"Wow! There a lot of trees here," Sun says sounding amazed.
"There are a lot of them alright. Lumberjack's Christmas Tree farm is the best place to get christmas trees in all of Canterlot City," Discord explains.
"And there are many different kind of trees and we can get miniature ones too," Screwball adds, happily.
"Baby pine trees?" Sun questionably asks.
"Yep," Screwball happily replies while nodding her head.
After parking the car, Discord takes the girls to see the owner of the tree farm. The owner is a light tan man that looks a muscular. He also has short black hair and a beard, and brown eyes. He is wearing a red coat with black buttons on it, dark blue jeans, brown boots, and wearing a snow hat.
When they reach the register, Discord calls out, "Hey Lumberjack!"
The man who is named Lumberjack looks at Discord with a smile and says, "Discord, it's so nice to see some familiar faces."
He then notices Sun and says, "And I see you have a new face with you this time around."
"Lumberjack this is my new daughter, Sun. Sun this is one of my good friends and Tree farm owner, Lumberjack," Discord introduces Sun to his friend.
"Hello," Sun replies, feeling a bit shy.
"Ho, ho, hello Sun, it's very nice to meet you," Lumberjack says with a smile.
Then Sun happily says, "It's nice to meet you too."
"You seem just a sweet young girls, no," Lumberjack replies.
"Sure. I guess," Sun says, shyness.
Just then Screwball grabs Sun by the wrist and starts to drag Sun to the tree farm. She can't wait to start finding a christmas tree for the house.
Screwball happily says, "Come on Sun, let's go find a christmas tree."
"Okay, okay," Sun says as she start to giggle and being dragged by her sister.
After Screwball drags Sun away, they start to search for the tree while their dad gets the equipment they need to get their tree. They search around the farm for their tree, but some of them are too big, too small, too wide, not wide enough, too thick or too thin, Sun can see that her little sister is very determine on getting the perfect tree for the house.
Just then, they see a very nice tree for the house. The tree is not to thick or thin, not to wide, and the tree stands about 6 feet tall. Screwball thinks this one will be the perfect tree for the living room art their house.
"It sure looks nice," Sun replies with a smile.
"You can say that again," Screwball cheerfully replies.
Discord's voice comes out and says, "Looks like we have a winner."
Sun and Screwball turns to see their dad with an axe and looks like he is ready to chop the tree down.
Screwball happily says. Hi dad, Sun and I found the perfect tree."
"You sure did," Discord replies.
He then walks to the tree and says, "Better stand back girls, this tree is going down."
"Okay," the girls reply.
Sun and Screwball stands back a few feet away from their dad and the tree that is going to fall to the ground. Discord then starts to chop the tree from the bottom and it has taken them a few large blows until the tree can't support itself. Then the tree start stop topple over and is going to fall into the snow.
"Timber!" Screwball loudly replies.
At that moment, the tree hits the ground after getting cut to where the stump is. Now that tree has been cut down, they are able to take the tree home so they can decorate it.
Sun turns to Screwball and says, "You su wanted to do that."
"Yes. Yes I did," Screall says with a smug on her face.
Discord says, "Let's get this to the car."
"Okay," The girls reply with a smile.
After buying the tree and getting home, Sun and her family are decorating the house and the tree. Since they have a lot of decoration it's talking them some time. Especially since Discord is very busy getting himself and the christmas light untangled. In this case, Sun and Screwball are able to put up some of the decorations on their own.
"Stringing popcorn is not very easy," Screwball says, as she tries to sew up the popcorn.
"Don't worry, we'll get this done soon," Sun replies while hanging the stockings at the fire place.
Then Sun asks, "Do you know how dad is doing with the christmas lights?"
Screwball giggles and answers, " He's still trying to untangle the lights."
Sun notices that her dad has been gone for a while untangling the lights. She is starting to think that her dad might need some help. However, her thoughts are still somewhere else at the time. She feels like this holiday, christmas, reminds her of something very similar, something very special to her. She decides to think about it later and go see if her dad needs help.
"Maybe I should go check on him," Sun suggests.
"Okay by me," Screwball replies while carefully stringing the popcorn.
After putting some of the decorations on the table, Sun leaves the living room so she can see if her dad needs help with the christmas lights. Sun tries to look for her dad, and knows that he will be in the garage somewhere.
As Sun searches for her dad, she calls out, "Dad!"
"Dad!" Sun calls out, loudly.
Sun is starting to think that her dad might not be in the garage, but she remember they have gotten the decorations from in here.
Just them, Discord voice calls out, "Sun, is that you?"
Sun looks around as she says, "Yes. Do you need help with the lights?"
"You could say that," Discord replies.
Sun hears the voice coming from behind some of the boxes that are still full of ornaments and other decoration. When she finds her dad behind the boxes, she can see that her dad is all tied up by the christmas light from his ankles to his shoulders. Sun can't help but laugh a little bit, but remember that her dad needs some help.
"Looks like you're stuck," Sun replies while giggles.
Discord sighs in defeat and answers, "Yes. I'm stuck."
Sun comes over to her father and says, "Don't worry, I help you."
Sun then start to help her dad untie the light and manages to get it more easily, mostly because the lights aren't that tangled. After getting the lights untangled and getting her father untied. she helps carry the lights to the living room with her dad right behind her. When they reach the living room, they can see that Screwball has finished stringing the popcorn and is ready to get it on the tree.
Screwball turns to where her father and sister are and says, "I see you to the light untangled."
"We did, but your sister has to untie me first," Discord says, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Screwball starts to laugh and says, "I kind of figured that would happen."
"Ha ha, very funny," Discord mutters with annoyance.
Sun simply makes a calm smile and says, "Now let's not forget we still have some decorating too and we should start with dinner soon."
"I guess you're right," Discord says as she calm himself down.
Sun and Screwball start to giggle a bit and decide to continue on with the decorating with their dad and they all love it. After a while of decorating the house and the tree, Sun and her family are happy that their house is very nice, pretty, and colorful. Sun is very happy about spending christmas with her family. But during the decorating, Sun is still feeling like she has celebrated the holiday before, but in a different way.
It's not until, Sun and her dad and sister are having pizza for dinner tonight. Discord and Screwball notice that Sun is feeling distracted and that she's eating her dinner in very small bites. They know that something is in Sun's mind and it's been going on for some time today.
Screwball comes up to her sister and asks, "Are you alright sis, you're eating very slow?"
"I'm fine. I just have something on my mind right now," Sun answers, still slowly eating.
"What will that be?" Discord asks.
"Well, for sometime I feel that I have celebrated christmas, but I have this strange feeling that I celebrated a different holiday." Sun explains looking concern.
Discord and Screwball are looking a bit confused of what Sun is saying. They are wonder on how Sun celebrates a different holiday that is similar to christmas.
Screwball then has an idea and says, "Does this have something to do with the song you've been humming?"
"It is. I feel that I know the song, but I don't remember the words that goes with it," Sun replies.
Sun is still curious about her memories and more have been coming. She still manage to keep track of what her memories and dreams are showing to her, but still having trouble piecing them together. During the time, Her family and friends are helping her with the situation. Even they have trouble understanding what Sun is dreaming and remember from her past.
Screwball then turns to Sun and suggests, "Maybe it will be a good idea to wait until tomorrow to write to Twilight."
"She's right. Who knows, maybe you'll have a dream about it tonight and you can write to her about it," Discord adds agreeing to the idea.
"That's a good idea. I wish I can give Twilight more information about my past," Sun replies calmly, but feels a bit sad.
Discord notice it and says, "I'm sure you are doing a good job telling Twilight about it. It might be possible that wherever she's at might be where you used to live."
Sun smiles and says, "Maybe. I'll just have to wait and see."
After the conversation, Sun and her family continue to eat their dinner and then have some fun watching to shows and hearing christmas songs. After the fun Sun has with them, she turns in early for the night. Sun is kind of hoping that she will have another dream.
Later that night, Sun is starting to dream. This time, she is dreaming about her watching a play and the small filly and the ponies she is with are enjoying the play. The play is about 3 different pairs of ponies travel from their frozen home to find a new one and put aside their differences to start a new beginning. Just then they start to sing the song Sun has been humming and the word represent the love and friendship among friends and family.
The ponies on stage and in the audience songs :
As dawn shines on us every morn
The fire of friendship is reborn
And all the friendships we have made
We cherish in every way
Loyalty binds us and makes us strong
Honesty shows that we belong
And kindness shared will unite us through each day
The fire of friendship lives in our hearts
As long as it burns, we cannot drift apart
Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few
Laughter and singing will see us…
...through
Will see us through
We are a circle of pony friends
A circle of friends we'll be to the very end
Though the winter brings all its cold and storm
The glow in our hearts keeps us warm
The friends we know called our family
Will always see us through
Loyalty binds us and makes us strong
Honesty shows that we belong
And kindness shared will unite us through each day
The fire of friendship lives in our hearts
As long as it burns, we cannot drift apart
Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few
Laughter and singing will see us…
...through
Will see us through
We are a circle of pony friends
A circle of friends we'll be to the very end
After the song, everypony starts to cheer happily and have enjoyed the play. The young filly that resemble Sun thinks the play is the best one she has ever seen. Her favorite part is when the unicorn apprentice uses her magic to great a pink flaming heart. It makes her wish she can do something like that she she gets older and wants to do what the unicorn and the princess do. That something is to use her magic to help others and being able to use powerful spells.
In her sleep, Sun feels so happy and it seems to be one of the best memories to her. Of course, tomorrow she needs to write to Twilight about the dream she has and the song she's been humming. One thing comes to mind, Sun remember that this holiday she remember is a very special one. It's about spending time with friends and family, celebrating the country's start, and so much more. The holiday Sun is able to remember is called Hearth's Warming Eve.
