As Hearth's Warming was approaching at a rapid pace, more and more houses in Ponyville turned into grandiose displays. Mainly because there was a decorating competition coming soon. If ponies' houses weren't decorated yet, they soon would be because one of Pinkie's challenges was to decorate your house. Or in Rainbow Dash's case, cloud mansion.

Pinkie had gotten up early and already started decorating. Mainly because Sugar Cube Corner was closed in the morning for the time being and wouldn't be open until the afternoon. That was due to it being dangerous. Anything could happen such as an ornament hitting somepony in the head or the lights electrocuting somepony.

Rainbow had gotten up for that sole purpose too. After searching in the attic for the miniature ornament box, she finally found it. There was an assortment of red, blue, gold, yellow, green, white, and many more colors of the ornaments. She also found a collection of miniature trees, stars, and other displays outside displays.

The first step Dash started was to hang a giant green wreath on her door. A huge red bow along with some pine cones that encircled it. In the center of the wreath there in shiny gold cursive letters read, 'welcome'. She sprinkled some white sparkly confetti on it to mimic snow.

After that was done, Dash next put the 12 miniature trees near the rainbow waterfalls, on the sides of her door, and the rest where ever she could find the space to put them. Then, she added the ornaments. Once she had done that, she sprinkled some more sparkly white confetti to accomplish the effect of snow.

Soarin had come outside to do his part of the agreement. "I'm ready to add lights and the rest of the displays," he said, already grabbing the lights.

"Tell me when you're finished," Dash said. And with that she was ready to relax.

There were colorful lights, white and gold, blue and white, red and green, and gold, silver, and rose gold. Soarin decided on the colorful lights to decorate the house with. He then decided on gold, silver, and rose gold for the trees near the rainbow waterfalls. Next he chose blue and white lights for the trees near the door. For the rest, he decorated them with red and green lights. Next he randomly added the gold, silver, rose gold, or white stars for the trees.

Then he strung the colorful lights around the house. He also put red or green bows around the house as well. Decorative miniature stockings were also put on the house decorations, each with a plushy sewed in them. The last thing Soarin did was add a large gold light up sign that read, 'Happy Hearth's Warming' on the roof.

Darkness had approached quickly soon after finishing. Getting the power socket and attaching every single light up decoration he readied himself to press the button that would light up their a beautiful display. Dash saw this and came outside, "This looks great! It's going to look even better when you press the button. Light it up, Soarin!" He pressed the button, and the display lit up with brightly colored lights. She did an air flip from excitement, "This looks so awesome!"

Soarin admired their hard work, "Yeah, it does. We make a great team."

"Yeah. Yeah, we do, don't we?"
