The 25 Days Of Hearth's Warming
Day 20: See The Light, See Them See Them
Sparkle Productions
Night was quickly approaching. The festival had took up the entire day and was very tiresome; the entire festival consisted of assigning roles for party preparations, mainly Twilight. Rainbow had fallen asleep halfway through her lecture, which Twilight got upset about and scolded her. Now Mayor Mare had called them all to gather around the stage, something about a ceremony. Ponies walked on and off the stage, preparing for what Mayor Mare had planned. They checked the microphone, cleaned the stage, and got the podium and speech ready.
After those boring long minutes of waiting, through the wait it was definitely night, Mayor Mare announced her presence by clearing her throat, "Hello everypony. I have gathered you here today for a very important reason. But before that, I must thank you all for being so kind as to have volunteered to help with party preparations. I'm lucky to be serving such a kind and helpful town. Now that I've gotten that out my way, the news is that our situation has cleared." The crowd began to ask questions about what she was talking about. "Now, now, calm down everypony," the crowd silenced, "the snow has cleared enough for us to let down the force field. Everypony may leave now that the situation has resolved."
Dash turned to face Soarin, an apparent sadness on her face. “I guess after tonight you'll be gone."
Soarin returned the look of sadness, "Y-you wanted me to stay?"
"Of course! Your spirit always brightened my day, and let's not forget the upcoming party. I want you to be here, for me and the challenge," Dash realized what she was saying, a bright blush appeared on her cheeks. Why was she saying these things? Why, why, why? Did she really care about him like that? "Mostly for the challenge!"
Soarin blushed as she said this, it increased by a tremendous amount after each sentence," Oh, well if it means that much to you," a mean glare came from a blushing Dash, "I mean, the challenge, then I'll stay." Does she really like me back? He wondered to himself.
Pinkie pulled down the lever, lighting the entire town with rainbow lights; fireworks quickly surfacing afterwards. "See the lights! See them! See them!"
Rainbow still wondered if she liked him. Maybe in the back of her mind she truly did, who knows?
