Chapter 47: Sun's First Christmas

After some time, Sun and her family are having a fun time in the snow and having a wonderful time with her friends. During the time, Sun can see that her pen pal Twilight hasn't message her yet. She figure that she must be busy and can't get to her right now. She's been spending time with her friends and family in the coldness of winter. However, even though Sun remember having fun in the snow, there seems to be a strange force that causes Sun to feel uncomfortable with. She then feels better when she is having fun with the people she loves so much.

Today is christmas and it's very early in the morning. At this point, Sun is now sleeping in her room and trying to keep herself warm from the cold. However, her sleep has been interrupted when her sister slams the door open with a glee on her face and starts to jump on Sun's bed.

Screwball happily screams, "Sun! It's time to wake up! Wake up sis!"

Sun hears her sister screaming happily and starts to wake up. When she opens her eyes, her vision is a bit blurry, but can tell that's her sister jumping on the bed with excitement.

Sun yawns and says, "Screwy, what time is it?"

"Sun looks at her clock to see that it's 6:30 in the morning. She is starting to wonder why her little sister is waking her up at this time.

Screwball, it's 6:30 in the morning," Sun says and then lets out a yawn.

"It's christmas, sis. We have to open our presents!" Screwball screams with excitement.

Sun knows that Screwball is not going to give up on getting her up to start with their Christmas day. So she decides to try to wake herself up and start having a christmas morning.

Sun gets out of bed, let out a yawn, and says, "Okay we'll go down stairs after we wake up dad."

With that, Screwball leaves the room with a smile of her face and on her way to wake up her dad. Sun leaves the room as well, but is going to the restroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

After getting herself up and her sister wakes up her dad, Sun and her family are down stairs to see some presents wrapped up in nice paper and ribbons. The stockings on the fireplace are all full up. Screwball is very excited and can't wait to open the presents.

Screwball happily says, "Wow! We got so many presents this year!"

"Yeah. I'd bet you can't wait to open the presents," Sun replies with a smirk on her face.

"You don't need to tell me twice," Screwball replies happily.

At that moment, Screwball zooms downstairs to see the presents. She then separate the pile of presents by name and put the stockings on them. Sun thinks Screwball maybe be chaotic as her dad, but for some strange reason, she reminds her a lot of her friend Pinkie Pie.

After separating the presents, Screwball happily says, " Now that the presents have been separated, it's time to open them."

"Okay Screwball, just let us sit down first," Discord replies.

Discord and Sun sits to where Sun is and can see the excitement that is being shown all over Screwball's face. Sun and Screwball unwrap their presents and they end up with some fun and interesting stuff.

Sun ends up with some nice clothes from Rarity, a basketball from Rainbow Dash, a cookbook from Applejack along with a baking book from Pinkie, and a stuffed kitten from Fluttershy. Her dad gives her a nice bonnet, and Screwball gives her a pogo stick. Most of Screwball gifts are funny pranks, candy, and anything that involves having fun.

After they open their present, Sun and Screwball are helping their dad make some breakfast. They have fine breakfast and then they all get dressed in winter clothes so they can go have some fun in the snow.

Sun looks around to see snow falling from the sky, covering the city of Canterlot with it's white and cold flakes. She can see that so many people are enjoying the snow in any way they can. She then start to remember something that happens a long time ago. She starts to remember seeing the small filly again along with her family playing in the snow. They all seem to be happy being in the snow and doing winter activities.

Screwball drags her sled through the show and says, "So Sun, are you ready to go sledding?"

"Yeah. But try to make sure it's not a big hill, at least not too big," Sun replies.

"Sure," Screwball says while nodding her head.

After that, Sun and Screwball start to go search for the hill to sled on, while their dad is simply watching his daughters having a great time together. It doesn't take long for Screwball and Sun to chose the right hill to ride down on. It's big enough for them to have some speed, but not big enough for them to go sonic speed. The two sisters are ready to go have some fun.

"Ready for take off," Screwball replies happily.

"Yes Commander Screwball," Sun replies.

Then Screwball says, "Alright, then in three… two… one… blast off!"

At the signal, Sun pushes Screwball's sled and jumps onto it so they can slid down together. The two on the sled are going fast and are having a blast. When they ride their sled to the ground they end up running into a small hill of snow. Screwball and Sun pops their head out of the snow to see they are both covered in snow.

Screwball laughs and says, "That was awesome!"

"I know. I don't think I had this much fun in a while," sun replies while laughing.

The two sister are having a great time being covered in snow. Sun can't wait to see what else they can do in the snow. Just then, Sun and Screwball ends up being hit by snowballs. When they turn around they can see Rainbow Dash and and Scootaloo holding a bunch of snow balls.

"Hey guys, having fun in the snow?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"We were just sledding and now you're hitting us with snowballs," sun answers while wiping the snow off of her hair.

"Wanna play?" Scootaloo asks.

"Sure," Sun and Screwball answers with a smile.

After getting out of the pile of snow, Sun and Screwball go play a snowball fight with Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. It's starting to get fun until Applejack and her sister Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie and her three sisters, even Fluttershy and her brother Zephyr Breeze are joining the game along with Rarity and Sweetie Belle.

After that, their little snowball fight as turn to a snowball battle. Sun, Screwball, Sweetie Belle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Maud and Limestone are one team. On the other team are Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Zephyr Breeze, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie. At that moment, the snowball fight has become more exciting.

Sun throws the snowball and it manages to hit Applejack on the back.

Applejack laughs and says, "You're going to get it now Sun."

"Not while I'm around," Screwball says and throws the snowball.

It misses, but the two teams are not giving into the fight. The snowball fight is starting to get tough and it seems that Sun's team are having trouble keeping this up. She then start to notice a bunch of snow that are in the trees and see that Rainbow Dash's team is right under them.

Sun turns to her team and says, "Guys! Aim at the top of those trees!"

Screwball and the others are a bit confused as to why Sun wants them to throw snowballs on the tree. Then again, they figure that Sun has a plan to win the game. They then start to throw snowballs up the tree and Sun can see that her plan is working.

Rainbow starts to laugh and says, "What are they doing? Are they trying to aim at us or at the trees?"

Applejack looks up to the trees and surprisingly says, "Or maybe both."

"Why?" Zephyr asks.

"Maybe because Sun decides to get the snowball on top of the trees so the blanket of snow can fall on top of us," Pinkie Pie says looking up.

Rainbow and the others look up to see that the snow is starting to fall on top of them. The next thing everyone knows, the snow has fallen on top of them. Sun and the others can see that everyone on Rainbow's team has been covered in snow.

Screwball laughs and says, "Looks like we win the game."

Rainbow Dash sticks her head out of the snow and screams, "Hey, who said you can drop a pile of snow on us."

"You didn't say we couldn't," Maud replies.

"Come on Rainbow, they are just putting up a good fight like the rest of us," Applejack says, as she help get her sister and her friend out of the snow.

"I hate losing," Rainbow mutters to herself.

Everyone starts to get out of the snow and can see that they have lost the game to Sun and her team. Sun and the others help them get out of the snow and glad they the snow doesn't hurt them. Just then, everyone starts to laugh and are glad to have a great time.

Then Sweetie Belle asks, "So what do you want to do now?"

"Maybe we can make some snowmen," Apple Bloom suggests.

"Maybe some snow angels," Sweetie Belle replies with a smile.

"No way. How about we go ride of Screwball's sled," Scootaloo says, wanting some excitement.

Then Rarity says, "Well to be completely honest, I could use a break after that snowball fight."

"Me too. My hair is starting to freeze out here," Zephyr says while taping his hair.

Applejack point to the sky and says, "And it looks like it's getting pretty late outside."

Sun giggles and says, "I guess with our snowball fighting, we practically played in the snow all afternoon."

"Yeah. I'm getting pretty tired," Fluttershy says.

"And it's starting to get cold outside," Limestone adds while shivering.

"Guess it's time for all of us to head back home before it gets dark," Pinkie replies.

Then Sun says, "And before it gets too cold for us."

After saying their goodbyes, Sun and Screwball goes back to their house with their dad, while the others head back home to their families. When the reach back home, the snow starts to fall again and the weather is starting to get colder too. Discord makes some hot chocolate and some tomato soup to he and his daughters can keep warm.

"So Sun, Screwy told me that you and the others had a snowball fight," Discord replies.

"We sure did. We practically played all afternoon," Sun replies.

Then Screwball says," Yeah. but it's nice that we get to spend christmas evening together."

Sun sighs calmly and says, "I know. It's nice to have some hot chocolate and hot soup."

"You can say that again," Screwball replies with a smile.

The Screwball asks, "So Sun, did you heard anything from Twilight."

"Not yet. She must have something else going on," Sun answers.

"Wonder if Twilight has a holiday that is like Christmas," Screwball questionably replies.

"Could be," Sun answers thinking of the idea.

Discord comes in and says, "I know that this friend Twilight is a great friend to be with, but let's go have the rest of our christmas and fun at home."

Sun smiles and says, "Sure."

The rest of the evening, Discord, Sun, and Screwball have been watching some christmas shows and movies, bake some cookies, and simply relaxing by the fireplace. After some time, Sun, her dad, and sister are sleeping soundly in the living room floor by the fireplace. In her sleeping, Sun dreams of having a wonderful and relaxing time with her family and friends today. It sometimes wonder if she has friends from her old home and from her old memory. She still needs to wait until she can understand her memories and know who she used to be before she becomes Sun.
