//------------------------------// // Chapter 88: Claw Patrol: Dragons Help Save Christmas // Story: Sarah's Adventure's in Equestria // by Zipp Storm //------------------------------// Ren's POV Yep, it that time of year again. Christmas Time! The home-ship was decorated with all kinda of Christmas decorations and the Christmas Tree. Big D and Douglas came in with Sarah, "Aha, nice work on the tree, Ren." Big D said. "Thanks." I smiled. Then Kaede came in with some holiday gifts card, "Big D, why is you face plastered on all of the cards and says 'Happy Davendays?!" she asked with a hand on her hips. "What do you mean?" I asked and Kaede gave me one of the cards where Big D's face on plastered onto the reindeer and at the bottom is said, "Happy Davendays" instead of "Happy Holidays." I looked at Big D with a deadpanned look, "Really?" "Oh come, on they are much more festive with me on the cover." Big D defended. Sarah and Douglas rolled their eyes. Typical Big D. "Donny, Christmas is not always just about you." Douglas said. "Remember, this is the first one where we can actually spend it with Sarah." Sarah smiled widely and hugged her two fathers. "And I couldn't be more grateful." Suddenly, "REN! HELP!" What the-? Was that Jack and the others? "It sounded like it came from outside." Douglas said and we went outside. "Guys, where are you?" I called. "Up there, you brat!" Jack called and we turned and saw that Jack, Jamie, Carrie, Mason, Nicole, Rantaro and Skye were all tied up in Christmas lights on top of the home-ship! "Oh my god! Who did that to you guys?" I asked in shock and then the culprit popped in. Discord. "That would be me, Ren Loodan. Like the Christmas ornaments I put on the home-ship?" Discord said, tapping Mason on the nose, earning a growl from him. "Discord, untangle them and bring them down here." Sarah said with a warning smile. "But they look more festive like this." Discord whined. "Chill you guys, we got this." Moonshine said as he, Winter, Storm, Firestorm, Silverspike, Striker and Spark and Fire flew up and grabbed their respective riders and cut them free from the lights and placed them on the ground. The lights fell off of them. "Thanks brats." Jack said. Discord huffed, "I still say they looked better on the roof." Big D and Douglas sighed. "Hey Sarah, where's your mom and Shimmer?" I asked, turning to Sarah. "Mommy Mommy.....!" A small blur suddenly tackled Sarah to the ground and she laughed, seeing it was Shimmer Glow. "Hi sweetie." she greeted. "Hi Mommy, Grandmom brought me over to see you, so we can celebrate together..." Shimmer cooed. And Sapphire, Sarah's mother, came up to us. "Haha, yes she's very excited to see Santa Claus this year." she chuckled. I came over and ruffled Shimmer's head, "Well you might see him, tonight, Shimmer." I said to her and she squealed happily. "Yeah." We all shared a laugh together. "Hi guys." We heard a voice and turned to see Twilight and the Mane 6 coming towards us. "I see you're decorated already." Twilight smiled happily. "You bet." I said with a big smile. "The place looks great." "Why didn't you want to celebrate at your castle, Sarah?" Rainbow asked, hovering over to Sarah. "I wanted to change up for the year. Besides, it the first one where I can actually get to spend it with my dads." Sarah smiled, looking at her two father before looking at her mother, "And my mom." "Hey don't forget about us!" Another voice came and we all turned and gasped seeing, "Emerald, Jake!" I exclaimed in shock. That's right, it was Sarah's brother, Emerald and her biological father, Jake. Sarah and Sapphire gasped in happiness and hugged the two. "What are you doing here?" Sarah asked. "What you didn't think we'd miss Christmas with our family and friends did you, little sis?" Emerald asked, rubbing Sarah on the head. Sarah giggled, "And I can't wait to catch up with my loving wife." Jake said as he came over to Sapphire. Sapphire chuckled, "Same here honey." Jake bend down and the two hugged each other. "Awwww...." we all went except for Jack and Rainbow, "Bleh, mushy stuff, gross." they said in unison. "Oh don't be rude now, Jack and Rainbow Dash." Discord said, suddenly appearing beside them. "I for one can't wait to see what holiday chaos I can bring this year." "You're not doing any chaotic on Christmas, Discord." Sarah scolded. Discord sighed and huffed, "Fine." "Now come on everyone, let's go inside." Big D said, looking at the night sky. "Christmas is tomorrow and we want to get our rest." Everyone nodded and we all headed inside to get some sleep for the big day tomorrow. POV Ends Third Person POV Meanwhile, flying high over Equestria, was Santa Claus an his team of reindeer. The wind was blowing hard and it was shaking the sleigh a little, "Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Whoa!" The wind turned the sleigh to the left a little and the bags filled with presents fell out of the sleigh! "Ho, ho! No! Not the presents!" Santa cried. The wind blew harder and it and Santa was forced to make a landing. "Coming in for a bumpy landing!" They were flying over Applejack's barn when the sleigh clipped the roof and the magical Christmas Star fell off of the side of the sleigh. "Oh, no! The Christmas star!" The sleigh went into a nose dive, "Whoa, cupid! Watch out!" and it crash landed in the orchard. The reindeer were now laying on the ground making painful noises. "Oh no..!" Santa said. "Hmm... I know who to call to help me." POV Ends Sarah's POV I was sleeping in my old room when my pad went off. I woke up and pressed it, "Hello, whose this?" I asked and I saw a familiar jolly man on the screen, "Ho, ho, ho! Hello, Sarah Gem. It's Santa." "Santa? Santa Claus? Calling me?!" I said in shock and joy. I couldn't believe it. "I seem to have run into a big storm and a wee bit of trouble. My sleigh crashed, I dumped a load of gifts and my reindeer are injured." Santa explained. "Worst of all, I lost the magic Christmas star." "The magic Christmas star?" I inquired. "The star has the magic that makes the sleigh and reindeer fly. Without it, I'll never finish delivering my gifts. Christmas will be ruined." Santa said and I gasped in shock. Christmas? Ruined? Oh no! "I need you and the Claw patrol, friends and family to help save Christmas." Santa said. "Save Christmas? Us?" I asked in shock. "I was under the impression there was no job too big, no pup too small." Santa smirked. "You're right, Santa! The gang and I will do anything we can to save Christmas! We'll be right there!" I said. I logged off and pressed the pad, "Claw Patrol, everyone! To the Castle of Friendship!" I called. I gathered my family and the girls and Ren and the others and we all rushed to the Castle of Friendship to my room. "What the big idea, Private Gem?" Skye asked with yawn. "Yeah, why'd you wake us up?" Kaede asked, rubbing her eyes. I pressed the pad and the screen came down, "We have a big emergency everyone." "An emergency? On Christmas Eve?" Emerald echoed in shock and concern. "What is it, sis?" "Santa's sleigh got caught in the blizzard and crashed." I said. "Santa crashed?!" Carrie exclaimed in horror. "He's fine. But the presents he brought for Adventure Bay fell out of the sleigh." I said. "All the presents?!" Ren gasped. I nodded and added, Even worse, the reindeer were all injured in the crash and the sleigh lost its magic Christmas star. Without it, the reindeer don't have the Christmas magic they need to fly, and Santa can't deliver his gifts to all the girls and boys and ponies!" Everyone gasped, now wide awake. "Oh man, this is really bad." Mason said. "We gotta help." Kaede said. "Right. And that's why Santa asked all of us to help save Christmas." I smiled and everyone cheered in agreement. "Silverspike, Jack and Emerald. I need you guys to help dig Santa's sleigh out of the snow." "You got it Newbie." "Right sis." "I can dig it!" "Spark, Fire, Nicole, Rantaro, I need you guys to lift the sleigh out and use some part from your recycling truck to fx the sleigh if its' broken." The four nodded. "Fluttershy, Mom, Shimmer and girls, I need you check on the reindeer and see how badly their injured." I added. "We're on it." the girls said. "Ren, Moonshine, Jamie, Striker, Mason, Carrie, Firestorm, Skye, Storm, Winter, I need you all to help find the presents." I added and the gang nodded, "We're ready to roll!" "Alright, Claw Patrol, is on a roll!" I exclaimed with I slid down the pole to my self-driving car while the others slid down the slide and into their dragons vehicles. We all drove off away from the home-ship and towards Applejack’s farm. We found Santa, the reindeer and the sleigh together. I got out of the car and gasped. “Woah, that looks like one nasty crash.” I said. “Yes it does.” Santa said. Fluttershy and the girls went over to check on the reindeer. “Ren, everyone, you know what to do.” I said to them and they nodded and they all went off to find the presents. Fluttershy and the girls saw that the reindeer all has scratches and bruises on them from the crash. The dragons came over and nuzzled them to keep them calm. “Thanks dragons.” Fluttershy said. Twilight and the girls bandaged the reindeer up. Jack, Silverspike and Emerald dug the sleigh out of the snow and Spark and Fire used their forklift to lift it up so we could see the damage to it. “Hmm... the crash broke one of the sleigh runners off completely. Spark, Fire, you know what to do.” Spark and Fire nodded and they, along with their riders, went into the back of the recycling tuck and found an slightly used snowboard. “This should do it.” Spark and Fire said. “Perfect.” I smiled. I placed the snow roared against the broke part of the sleigh. “Roar, ratchet.” Spark said and a rancher came out of his pack and they used it to wield the pieces together. “There that should be good now. Now all we have to do is find the Christmas Star.” “Do you know where the star fell out?” Nicole asked Santa. “It fell out when it clipped the roof of a farm nearby.” Santa replied. “Applejack’s family farm. Come on guys let’s go check it out.” I said. They nodded and we all went to Applejack's farm. "Wonder how Ren and the others are doing with the presents?" POV Pause Ren's POV Moonshine, Jamie, Striker, Mason, Carrie, Firestorm, Skye, Storm, Winter and I were scanning the trees in the orchard for the presents. I was on Moonshine's back while Mason, Carrie and Jamie were on their respective dragons. Skye was riding on Storm. "Woah... this is cool." she said with a big smile on her face. I smiled at her, "Yeah, we told you." I grinned. Winter flew beside Moonshine and with her dragon eyesight, she spotted one of the large bags of presents in the treetops. "Look! A present bag!" I called. Winter and Moonshine flew over to it and Storm warbled seeing something sticking out of the snow nearby. "What is it, Private Storm?" Skye asked. Storm hovered over and used her wings to stir up the snow and it revealed the second and third bags of presents. "Alright that's all the present bags!" I smiled. Storm, Winter and Moonshine grabbed the present bags and we all flew back to the Santa's sleigh. "Ho ho ho, the presents." Santa laughed happily. The dragons placed the bags into the sleigh and we landed near the sleigh. "Where's Sarah and the others?" I asked, noticing the others missing. "They went to find the Christmas Star." Santa said. "They went to the barn nearby." "My barn?" Applejack asked in surprise. Santa turned to her, "Yes, the star fell out around there." "Well then, let's go help them find it." I said and I mounted Moonshine. The other mounted their dragons and we flew off to Applejack's barn. We were greeted by a most unusual sight, "Is that... Granny Smith... flying?!" I exclaimed in shock. Yep! Granny Smith was indeed flying. "Hey!" We looked down and we saw Sarah, Nicole, Rantaro, Jack and their dragons. "Can you guys get her down. She has the star on her side, that's what making her fly!" Sarah called up to us. "Got it." Moonshine flew over to Granny Smith who was laughing, "Ho, wee, this feel great." "Hey Granny Smith." I called. "You wanna go back down to the ground?" "Sure whippersnapper." Granny Smith said. I carefully grabbed her and Moonshine landed on the ground and I placed Granny Smith on the ground. Sarah went over and gently took the Christmas Star off of her. "Great, now we have the Christmas Star. Let's go back to Santa." Sarah said and we all flew back to the sight where Santa was. We landed and Sarah showed Santa the Christmas Star, "Ho, ho, ho, ho! The magic star!" Santa said as he took the star and placed it on the sleigh which glowed with magic. I went over to Fluttershy, "How are the reindeer?" Fluttershy sighed, "They're not good, some of them have sprained and bruises legs. They can't fly the sleigh like this." "Then how's Santa going to deliver the presents all around Equestria?" I asked in worry. If Santa can't deliver the presents then Christmas will be ruined. Then Discord popped up, "I have an idea." he smiled. "Discord?!" I exclaimed. "You have a plan?" "Yes, why not use your dragons friends to fly the sleigh?" Discord asked, pointing to Winter and the others. "Use the dragons...?" I asked. "Actually.... that's an excellent idea." "Hell yeah!" Jack added. Sarah and her family soon hooked up the dragons to the sleigh and Twilight, the Mane 6, Sarah's family all piled into the sleigh with Santa. "Alright everyone, let's save Christmas!" Santa called and the dragons spread their wings and we flew off to deliver the presents al while a Christmas song played in the background.

Well... we did...! We delivered all the presents around Equestria and just in time too, it was almost Christmas Morning. The dragons were unhitched from the sleigh and the reindeer were connected back to sleigh, now fully healed. "Thank you so much for your help, all of you. You all are definitely being at the top of my Nice List." Santa said. "Yeah!" Carrie cheered happily. "Your welcome." Skye saluted. Santa nodded, "Merry Christmas everyone!" Santa called as the reindeer all flew up into the sky and the sleigh vanished from sight. "Well that was a blast!" I said happily. "We actually saved Christmas with the Santa Claus." "Hell yeah, that was totally epic!" Jack added. "Now come on, let's get back to the home-ship, we've all had a long night." Sarah said and we all nodded and we went back to the home-ship. The Next Morning.... "Guys! Wake up! Wake Up!" Carrie called, waking us all up. I opened my eyes and we saw presents under the tree. "Santa came! Santa came!" she cheered happily. "Woah..." I saw load of presents underneath the tree. "Alright!" Jack laughed. The others started to move towards their presents when Carrie said, "Wait, wait, wait, Sarah first." she insisted. "Oh yeah, Sarah first." I agreed and the others added their agreements and she pulled out Sarah's gifts from the tree which were two of them. "We all picked this out for you." Carrie smiled. Sarah smiled and she went to the big box that had a bow on it. She pulled the lid off and she gasped in joy, "Awww... it's beautiful..." it was a band new dress that Rarity made along with a pair of rainbow wing covers. "Awww... I love them, you guys." Sarah said with a happy smile on her face. "Open the next one." Kaede added with a cheekily grin. Sarah put the dress and the rainbow wings down and she opened the second present. "Hehehe... awww..." it was new small sweater she could give to Shimmer Glow. It was pink and purple, her favorite colors. "Thanks guys, I was meant to get her a new sweater..." Sarah cooed and Shimmer eagerly went over and Sarah placed the sweater on her and she looked adorable in it. "We thought you would.." Rarity smiled. One-by-one we all opened our gifts together and spent one very Merry Christmas together.
