Starlight In Snowfall Land

by TheSuperTransformerFan

Epilogue: Two Glimmers Together

Starlight had recently shown her double, Snowfall the recent futures, and how bad the outcomes were, and Snowfall just couldn’t handle any of it, and asked her to return her back to her own time. When she did, a flash of white light blinded them completely.

When the light disappeared, Snowfall opened her eyes, and saw that she was back in her own home. She even saw her cauldron still bubbling, and saw ponies marching outside. She was relieved that her time hadn’t changed at all. “There's still time!” She saw Starlight smiling at her, and happily shook her. “Starlight, there’s still time!” She shouted with glee.

“That’s nice.” Starlight said dazed, as she was shook. “Now, can you let go of me?” She was let go, and she regained her senses, as she saw Snowfall about to leave. “Wait, Snowfall! What about your spell?” She asked, pointing to the bubbling pot.

“Forget that!” Snowfall said happily. “We’re going Christmas shopping!” She grabbed her double by the arm. “Let’s go!” Starlight wailed, as she was pulled out into the town as Snowfall gleefully went shopping for the party.

They then showed up at the party, with Starlight a little nervous, but Snowfall a little excited! She looked at her double. “What’s the matter, Starlight?” She asked. “You helped me out. You want to come to the party?”

Starlight’s legs were shivering, and her expression was scared. She looked at Snowfall, who was smiling, and took a deep breath. “I can’t go into the party, Snowfall.” She said, pushing her in. “I’m gonna look silly. And, I don’t even have clothes on!”

Snowfall giggled, and shook her head. “Yes, Starlight. Yes, you are.” She said, as she pointed to her. “But you’re going to be the most fashionable kind of silly there is. And, it's the least we can do. For friendship.”

“But, what about me? I’m from the future, and I don’t want to wreck anything that might have happened in time.” Starlight continued, worried.

“Relax, Starlight.” Snowfall reassured her. “Remember that I’ll be there with you every step of the way!” She stuck her hoof out. “So, what do you say? You wanna go to the party with me? For Friendship?”

Starlight looked at her double smiling, and she smiled too. “For friendship.” She said, as she nodded. They made their way to the door and knocked on it.

The door opened to reveal both Flutterholly and Merry, who were both shocked at their appearances. “Oh, my.” Merry said, stunned.

“Snowfall Frost?” Flutterholly asked her, as she saw Starlight. She then got nervous. “Two of her?!”

“Here we go.” Starlight said, nervously, ready to back out, but Snowfall put a hoof on her to reassure her that everything would be okay. Starlight took in a deep breath, and smiled as they turned back to them.

“Actually, it’s a long story.” Snowfall explained, winking at her, as Starlight smiled. “We were hoping we weren’t too late for the party? We both got gifts.” She held out a few gifts to the ponies, as Snowdash, herself saw her and spat out her cider in shock.

“Boss?!” Snowdash asked in surprise.

“You’re her boss?!” Starlight whispered to her surprised as her. Snowfall nodded, as Starlight was trying to comprehend all this. “Huh- What?! How?! WHY?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!" Starlight immediately gasped.

“I was wrong earlier, about Hearth's Warming Eve.” Snowfall confessed to her worker. “It's not all about singing and presents. The singing and presents are all about celebrating the ponies in our lives….” She looked at Starlight, who winked back at her, as she smiled. “The ponies we should listen to more often: our friends. And, someone special here helped me learn that.” Starlight smiled, as she blushed, while Snowfall handed her a gift.

“Wow.” Snowdash said, as she unwrapped it. It appeared to be a bottle of purple soda. She turned to see the label, which was… “Dragon toenail?” She asked.

Starlight facehoofed. “Really?!” She asked, as Snowfall blushed.

“Uh…thanks.” Snowdash said, thanking her, as Starlight’s eyes widened.

“I was in a hurry.” Snowfall quickly explained. “I'll do better next time.”

But, Snowdash was actually excited at all this, that she whooped in glee. “Ha. Are You kidding?” She said. “No one's ever given me dragon toenail before! It's awesome!” Snowfall shot her a ‘told you she’d be happy’ look, as Starlight blushed.

“I guess she really did like it.” Starlight said, as Snowfall nodded.

“And, who is this pony?” Merry asked, pointing to Starlight. “She looks just like you.”

“And, you both have the same Cutie Mark as well!” Flutterholly added. Starlight got nervous, as her face sweat, and her blood ran cold.

“Oh, I forgot!” Snowfall said, pointing to her double. “This is Starlight Glimmer. She’s my sister. Her parents are from out of town. WAY out of town!”

Starlight looked at everyone nervously, and just waved a hoof. “Hi.” She said nervously.

“You have a twin sister?” Snowdash asked. “That’s super awesome!”

“It sure is.” Snowfall said, turning to her. “Starlight, I want you to meet my worker, Snowdash, and her friends…Merry and Flutterholly.” Starlight shook each of their hooves as they smiled at her.

“Glad to meet you, Darling.” Merry greeted her, as Flutterholly nodded.

“We’re so happy to have you here.” The Fluttershy pony added.

“I’ve never seen you here before!” Snowdash said excitedly. “Good to meet you.”

“Good to meet you too.” Starlight said, as she took in a deep breath, and smiled. “Y’know, you three kind of remind me of a few ponies I know.”

“Really?” Merry asked her. “Who are they?”

“They’re from out of town, like me.” Starlight just put in.

“Well, no matter what, it’s always good to have another pony join the party.” Flutterholly agreed.

“I guess it is.” Starlight confidently said to her.

“You bet it is!” Snowdash said. “Now, come get some eggnog!” She raced over to the beverages, as Snowfall put her hoof on her double’s shoulder.

“So, that wasn’t so nerve wrecking, was it?” She asked her. And for the first time, Starlight smiled at her, and shook her head.

“Not at all.” She said happily. “Not at all.”

Snowfall smiled, and blushed, as she hugged her double so happily. “Thanks for all this. You saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life.” She said happily, as she cried tears of joy.

“It’s nothing really.” Starlight started.

“But it isn’t nothing…” Snowfall reminded her. “It’s everything!” Smiling at this, Starlight returned the hug. “Thank you.” She said hushed.

“You’re welcome.” Starlight said happily, as her cutie mark glowed. She saw it, and she smiled. “I guess that was the problem I needed to solve after all.”

“Huh?” Snowfall was confused.

“Nothing.” Starlight quickly covered up. “Happy Hearth's Warming, Snowfall.”

“You too, Starlight.” She said happily, as Snowdash came back with a few cups of eggnog, and Starlight happily took one, as the others did too, as they all sang.

Hearth’s Warming Eve Is Here Once Again

As they sipped on the eggnog, Starlight motioned to the musicians to start playing a tune, as they nodded, and the mood and beat was set as the song continued.

Starlight & her double and their friends all hung out and embraced the holiday altogether! Starlight’s friendship problem was solved, and Equestria was safe for the next generation of ponies. And, of all the Hearth's Warming Eve celebrations, Snowfall's and Starlight’s were the Hearth's Warmingest.

After a while, the party guests were leaving, and both Glimmers were happy that they had a good time, celebrating the ponies they loved. The two were walking out happily.

“You know, I had fun, Starlight!” Snowfall said happily.

“And, I had an adventure!” Starlight agreed, as she looked at the moon. “But, I think it's time I went back to Ponyville…my time.”

Snowfall was surprised to hear that, and hugged her hooves. "You’re leaving…already?” She cried out sadly and happily. “Please stay." She begged with puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry, Snowfall." Starlight said as she patted her friend on the head. “But, a pony’s work is never done. I already miss my own friends in my time.”

“I know.” Snowfall said sadly, as Starlight cast the time bubble. “But, Will I ever see you again?" She asked.

She turned around and gave her double a gentle embrace, "Of course I will. Rest assured, I'll be back…someday." She started to leave. “Farewell, Snowfall Frost." She winked at her, and jumped through the bubble, as it vanished.

Snowfall stood there blushing, and smiling as Starlight was gone through the time bubble. She waved her goodbye. “Bye, Starlight! I won't forget you!” She called out, happily as tears left her eyes. After that, she went back to her house to set up the decorations for the holiday. Happy, that she got to learn an important lesson with the help of her own double from the future.

In Ponyville, in the present time, the Cutie Map opened the time bubble portal, and spat Starlight out onto the ground, as she landed with an audible thud! She groaned as she got up, as both Twilight and Spike ran in the room.

“Starlight, Where have you been?” Spike asked worriedly.

“Are you alright?” Twilight asked her.

Starlight hugged her friends happily. “You wouldn’t believe where I was!” She said to them. “I was in Canterlot, and I met somepony who looked like me…that was Snowfall, and we took a trip through time!”

“Oh, that's nice!” Rainbow Dash said, giggling. “Now, come out here! We’re having a little party!” She dashed out.

“In a second!” Starlight continued, as both Twilight and Spike giggled. “I was seeing myself for the day, and I had a party with Snowdash --“

“You know, Twilight?” Spike said to his sister. “I think Starlight’s been in the snow too long!”

Twilight giggled. “I think so too!” she said, rubbing his belly.

“What? No, I didn’t!” Starlight said, blushing. “I wasn’t even outside.”

“I’ll take your word for it!” Twilight said as she giggled. “We’re heading downstairs, and if you wanted to, you'd be welcome to join us for the party.”

Starlight’s ears perked up. “Party? Is there a party?” She asked, confused.

“Of course!” Rainbow told her. “Only one of the biggest ones of the year!”

Starlight was about to come down, when she felt a chill down her spine. “Wait! What day is it?” She asked.

Twilight giggled with Rainbow. “Starlight, you know what day it is!” She told her. “Look outside.”

Starlight was confused at first, but did so. She saw snow falling down in the town, and right there and then…her mind clicked. She was surprised. “That’s right! I was so busy focusing on my friendship problem, that I almost forgot today was Hearthswarming Eve!” She said in realization. She turned to look for her teacher, but she wasn’t in the room. It didn’t take long for her to figure out where she was.

She ran to the balcony upstairs and saw her mentor partying with her friends. Twilight saw her, and waved. “Hey, glad you could make it!” Twilight called out from downstairs.

“Are you kidding?!” Starlight asked jokingly, as she smiled. “I wouldn’t miss this one for all of my friends!”

“I knew you wouldn’t.” Twilight said, as she smiled. “Happy Hearth's Warming, Starlight.”

“Happy Hearth's Warming, Twilight.” She said to her teacher, as she slid down the railing and took a mug of eggnog. “I’m home!” She cried out in glee, as she joined the others and started to sing a song.
