The sun wasn't shining through the clouds as usual. In fact, it was gloomier than ever. Light hail rained down on the snow that surrounded Ponyville. A perfect day to sleep in. Or not if you could be decorating the tree. The artificial tree.

The tree had been shoved in the closet since getting it and hadn't been released from it's confinement. That is, until today. Rainbow and Soarin were going to decorate it. After all, it was a requirement of Pinkie's challenge and they were going to complete it.

"You ready," Rainbow asked to Soarin who was thinking about how they should decorate tree.

A cyan hoof waving in front of his face snapped him back to reality. "Oh, yeah! Yeah, of course I am!" He said hoping she wouldn't notice his lack of attention.

"You weren't paying attention, were you?" Dash asked knowing full well he wasn't, "I'm not dumb y'know? And I wasn't born yesterday. Know that and remember that," she said in a knowing kind of way.

"Nope, no, and of course I will," Soarin answered each question and one sentence.

The tree was beautiful. It had rainbow ornaments with white lights.. In the center was a picture of Dash and her friends. Each had a smile, glad to be to together on that sunny day, on a picnic. They always looked like that together.

Soarin snapped a photo of the tree before heading out with Rainbow. Pinkie had requested they meet at Sugar Cube Corner to show each other their trees.

"That's so pretty!" Pinkie yelled. "What's yours mostly made of? Mine's mostly candy!"

"Ornaments and lights, but mostly lights," Dash replied. She had so much fun deecorating with Soarin. And only more good times were destined to come after this.
