INTRO
Hearths Warming Eve was nearly there. All over Ponyville, ponies were decorating, shopping, wrapping gifts, and setting up their trees. Children were even playing in the snow that covered the ground.
Even Princess Twilight and her friends were busy decorating the Friendship castle, under Rarity’s supervision of course. “Those hollies looked divine.” she said to Rainbow and Fluttershy.
Applejack decorated the many trees around the castle with fancy apple-shaped ornaments. “Sorry, I can’t help It.” she admitted.
“I think it looks great anyway, Applejack.” said Twilight.
Spike and Starlight came inside, “Okay, every-pony, it’s all set up.” Spike said. Everyone followed him and Starlight outside. It was already dark in the night, and with a flick of a switch, the castle was lit up with longs strings of pretty lights decked around its central high-rise, and all the towers and limbs.
“Wow! It’s beautiful!” cried Pinkie.
Rarity couldn’t stop staring as the lights twinkled in her eyes. “It’s… It’s… sensational! Oh, Spike, I can’t believe you did this.”
Spike blushed, “Well, Starlight helped.”
Starlight nodded “Some-pony had to raise them up, but it was still your idea Spike.”
Spike rocked back and forth shyly, “Happy Hearth’s Warming, every-pony.” and the ponies all came together in a big group hug, and then, as some of them looked up, they all backed away leaving Spike and Rarity.
“What?” Spike asked. The other ponies were giggling, “Don’t look up.” Rainbow cooed as she pointed above Spike and Rarity and they saw the mistletoe hanging above their heads. They gasped, and blushed heavily, but Rarity made the first move and gave Spike a big peck to his cheek, “Happy Hearths Warming, Spikey-Wikey.”
Spike, overwhelmed inside fainted in a shower of fluffy hearts. Rarity thought it adorable, while the other ponies giggled.
