Cutting the Turkey

The Day Before Break

It was a brisk autumn day in Ponyville and the smell of pumpkin spice filled the air wherever you go. To top it off, Ponyville was decorated accordingly. Drenched in beautiful leaves of red, yellow, and brown, all raked up in neat piles in which the fillies and colts could play, and full of autumn activities for all. You could say that ponies are festive, and that isn't that far off.
Ponyville had hay rides to bobbing for apples, but most importantly, everycreature was excited for the Thanksgiving holiday, especially the Mane Six, Starlight, Spike, the Young Six, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

At the School of Friendship.....

"Remember that it's the final day before break!" Twilight Sparkle announced.

All of the Young Six, Gallus, Yona, Silverstream, Smolder, Sandbar, and Ocellus, rejoiced.

"I can't wait until Thanksgiving break!" Silverstream said.

"Me neither," said Sandbar, "It's gonna be a blast!"

"Damn straight!" Smolder exclaimed.

Twilight Sparkle went to her office, where she was greeted by Spike and Starlight.

"Hi, Twilight," said Starlight Glimmer, "Are you ready for Thanksgiving?"

"That's just what I was gonna talk about," Twilight said, putting decorations out on her desk.

"If you need help on planning a fall-themed party before break, I could help," Starlight said.

"No need," Twilight replied, "I've got Pinkie on the job right now."

"Oh, um, OK," said Starlight Glimmer.

"But I do know what you can help me do," Twilight said.

"And what's that?" Starlight and Spike asked.

Twilight Sparkle chuckled. "One at a time, please," she said with a friendly smile. She then used her magic to pick up a box and put it on the table. "I need your help making cards so that we can do the Thankful Circle I'm thinking of doing!" she exclaimed, "Oh, I can't wait! It's gonna be so fun!"

Starlight Glimmer looked confused. "Thankful Circle?" she said, "Where I'm from, that sort of thing never happened."

"A Thankful Circle is just what it sounds like," Spike explained, "Everycreature sits in a circle and says who and what they're thankful for."

"No offence, but that sounds stupid," Starlight remarked.

Thanksgiving Fun Lyrics

Twilight Sparkle: Well, believe me
When I say
That you'll finally think another way
After all this fun you've experienced today
Believe me when I say
That it'll be great

Lay the cards out
On the floor
Grab them all
There's just one more

Believe me
When I say
That the Thanksgiving fun
Has just begun

Ready to count my blessings
Much more than ever before
Giving thanks to your friends
With the holidays
The fun never ends

Remember to count my blessings
Don't forget to set up
The autumn dressings

Today is gonna be a fun day
Today is gonna be the best day
Thanksgiving is just around the corner
I'm so excited

Everycreature's stirring
My head whirling
It's all so damn exciting

Starlight
You're gonna have a blast
But Twilight, not so fast
All this preparation
Has got me so excited
I can't wait
No, I can't wait!

Believe me
When I say

Believe me
When I say
Today's the best damn day
In the whole wide Equestria
It's the time to feel
The positive holiday hysteria

Believe me
When I say
Believe me
When I say
Believe me
When I say

The Thanksgiving fun
Has just begun
