//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Twilight’s first Heart’s Warming Eve // by Miyukana //------------------------------// “Rarity,if we don’t want Twilight to know about her parents coming to Ponyville.Where will they spend their two days here?” Twilight’s parents looked at her. “Applejack volunteered her barn.If that’s okay with you” she said. “It’s fine dear,as long as we could see our daughter, it’s okay if we sleep in the barn.Even In the sewers it’s fine” Twilight Velvet smiled at her.Rarity covered her mouth in shocked “but honestly dear I don’t want to sleep in the sewers it’s pretty disgusting in there.”she whispered in her ear.Rarity sighed in relief. We arrived to Ponyville the conductor called out.Without waiting they stood up from their seats and walked towards Sweet Apple Acres. Rarity knocked on the door,she saw Granny Smith opened the door for them as she greeted them to come in. “We’re gonna leave you two here for a while.Me and Spike are going to see our other friends to help them decorate the Town Hall.” Rarity took another glance back at the couple and motioned Spike to come with her. “See you guys later” Spike called waving at his not biological parents. **** When Rarity and Spike came , both of them carrying the decoration that Rarity bought in last minute.They saw that their other friends just came at the front of the town hall at the same time. “Where’s Twilight’s parents!” Fluttershy asked. “They’re in Applejack’s farm.We told them that if they could stay there for a while until Twilight’s Surprise.Don’t worry Granny Smith is taking care of them.” Spike replied.They both parted there ways to start all things together.Spike and Rarity are in the boutique carrying the decorations that they bought a while ago and start crafting.Fluttershy and Rainbow start digging a hole for the tree while their pegasus friends helping them carry the tree.Pinkie and Applejack went inside the Sugarcube Corner to start cooking with the help of the cakes. ****** Twilight’s stomach growled. “For the last time, if you don’t keep quiet I’m swear to Celestia that I’m gonna punch you” Twilight said angrily to her stomach.When she heard that her stomach growled again, she was about to punched it but sighed in defeat and walked upstairs to make some doffodil and daisy sandwich.She was on her way to the top when she saw her different pictures with her friends and some of it are her parents. “I’m sorry to all of you but I need to finish this research.Mom and Dad I’m sorry, but you’re the one who’s missing in here not me.If you could just spare a time with me and you want to spend time with me wholeheartedly.I will give time for you and my studies.” She said sadly and continue to walk upstairs.She opened the door to see that Spike didn’t come home since yesterday Rarity borrowed him from her. She looked outside to see that many ponies are gathering together outside the Town hall saw she walked outside to see if there’s a problem.She pushed the ponies aside until she’s in the front. “What’s happening in here?” She asked them.But before the other pony could answer, Rainbow glared at her giving her a signal that she don’t need to say the surprise thing that they were going to prepare for her.Twilight looked at Rainbow. “We gather the ponies here to prepare and help us decorate Ponyville for the coming Heart’s Warming Eve” she said. “Well since there is nothing going on here and only gathered ponies for some silly ocassion,I’m heading home now” she said.When she saw the look of the ponies,she gritted her teeth regretting for what she said. Rainbow was about to flew towards Twilught slap her right in the face so she could snapped that thing out of her, but she was stopped by Fluttershy.She looked at the mare who walked inside the library.”I just hope you wake up Twilight from your nightmare” she mumbled and look at the crowd in front of her. “As you could see how my friend talk about Hearts Warming Eve.Pinkie planned that we should make a surprise on the day of Hearts Warming Eve” the ponies looked at her. “Did you see just how she react a while ago? Why do we need to surprise her if she just called it a ‘silly ocassion’?” One of the pony in the crowd said. “That’s why we need to surprise her because she never ever experience to have a Hearts Warming Eve” Fluttershy said.The ponies gasped in concern. “You mean....” she nodded. “Oh my gosh poor Twilight.Let’s help her with this after she had done to us to save Ponyville,even Equestria” the mare said.The crowd nodded in agreement with her as they all separated to help them finish the decorating in time.Rainbow and Fluttershy looked at each other and smiled.They flew towards the hole and start digging the last one and the pegasus start lowering the tree inside the hole gently.When they finished the tree they hoof bumped in each other as their mission was success. Applejack and Pinkie finished their cooking at the same time.They thanks the ponies who helped them preapared the dishes quickly.They carried the banquet inside the town hall and place in it a long table that they compressed it together. “Thank ya, ya’ll really help us cookin’ and decoratin’ This place for our friend Twilight” Applejack said. “It’s the least we can do to pay the things that she had done to save us here in Ponyville a couple of times.” Mayor mare said. “And the party canon is done.The decoration is the last thing we could do.Fluttershy is still handling the birds.Rainbow and the other Pegasi are moving the clouds” she said.Mayor mare was about to speak when Pinkie interrupted her.”ohh I know I’m gonna make some chocolate fountain, gonna make some Rainbow cupcakes, or another pie, or some donuts or....” Mayor mare looked at Applejack who just shrugged off and both decided to leave Pinkie pie alone “.....or maybe I’m gonna put a lot of party canons in every corner of the townhall or...” she looked back and saw that Applejack and Mayor mare are nowhere to be seen.” Where did they go? Oh well I’m still gonna do all that starting now” she sped up towards Sugarcube Corner and inside her Secret Party Planner Basement. “”....and there you go we finish the last piece and now we’re going to head in the town hall” Rarity said. She looked at Spike who’s having a hard time carrying those tons of decoration that Rarity made. “I think....you.....done it....too....much” spike gritted his teeth on how the decoration weight so much.He felt a magic sorrounded the other half of the decoration.He sighed in relief that he’s going to carry the decoration much better. “Come on Spike,I think the others are.....” she stopped when she looked outside that is already midnight and Nopony is outside.”please tell me Spike that I’ve been working about the decoration for that long” her voice raised.Spike rolled his eyes and looked at her annoyingly. “Well I tried to snapped you from your crafting a thousand times but you still keep focusing with your crafting.” He replies back But this time his voice is much louder.”I’m sorry Rarity for shouted at you like that, I guess I’m tired.Im heading home now” he didn’t wait for Rarity’s response when he saw that Rarity is still standing behind him.Her mouth was agaped from Spike’s sudden reaction and blinked that Spike is no longer inside her boutique. ******* “Twiligt I’m home” he called out, but Twilight didn’t answer.He walked downstairs in the basement to see Twilight curled up on the floor snoring a little.He smiled at her sadly and went upstairs to get a blanket. He put the blanket over Twilight and mumbled to himself “ I hope you realize that your parents are there for you no matter what.And as your not biological brother I will help you to know and see that” he said as he planted a kiss on her forehead “good night Twi” he said until he closed the lights in the basement leaving a smiling Twilight on her sleep. “I never thought that being a brother to Twilight even though not biologically feels amazing” he said happily as he lay down on his basket and drifted himself to sleep.
