It was a lovely morning in Ponyville as Discord marched through the market's, eyeing all the ponies getting ready for Hearth's Warming Eve before he spotted Twilight; her mane was frazzled. She was looking at the decorations wondering what to get.
“What do I get? There are so many choices.” Discord smirked looking at her. He knew how she got on these kinds of things.
“Twilight.” She jumped, turning behind her, seeing Discord. Taking a deep breath, she calmed down a bit.
“Oh. Hi Discord, what are you doing here?” Twilight asked.
“Not much really just walking around town till I found you–” he'd see all the decorations in Twilight's lavender auror “– and your decorations.”
Twilight looked to the decorations as well with a sheepish smile, “There aren't too much just enough for me and my friends to enjoy Hearth's, Warming Eve.”
He'd look at Twilight, a frown formed on his face. “Let me guess: you didn't invite me or anything, but why would you?” He snapped his talons disappearing, leaving the young Alicorn alone. Twilight sighed, a small frown on her face.
She went back to her castle. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door, entering the castle of friendship. Inside she saw Spike sitting in his little throne, he was in the middle of a conversation with Starlight.
“Hey Spike, Starlight. What are you two talking about?”
“Oh. Twilight, we didn't see you come,” Starlight said. Spike nodded in agreement.
“We wet just talking about last year's Hearth's Warming Eve. Boy wasn't that chaotic? With the slimy stuff and that giant creature Discord said was Fluttershy's gift,” Spike answered, chuckling slightly.
“Okay. Okay, maybe let's not keep talking about that. It was a bit of a destarter,” Twilight said, her cheeks going a tad red.
“A bi–” Spike mouth was zipped up by Twilight's magic. She looked at him disapprovingly before unzipping his mouth allowing him to breathe.
“Maybe we should decorate the castle before we do anything else,” Twilight said. Agreeing, they all got to work on decorating the castle. Spike hung up the the decorations for the tree, while Twilight and Starlight handled the rest.
Not long after the castle was set and ready the guests arrived. First came Rarity and her younger sister Sweetie Belle. Secondly Applejack and Apple Bloom, behind them was Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, then Pinkie and Fluttershy.
Twilight looked at the door, (like she was expecting somebody else) but trotted towards the map room. She felt terrible not inviting Discord, and she knew it was a pony holiday but that doesn't give her right to cast away a friend whose different.
“Spike!” She called. In a matter of seconds he arrived, a nervous about expression on his face, like he facing a trial. “I need you to send this to Discord.”
His expression softens. Taking the scroll he blew green flame on it sending it away.
