Hearth's Warming Day

Snowfall Frost found herself in her room in the morning. “I’m back. I’m back!” She exclaimed with joy. “But is there still time?” She wondered because she didn’t know how long she’s been gone. She then came to open the window and saw a young colt outside. “You there, young colt!” She said. “Me miss?!” The colt said in his thick British accent (played by young Pipp from the ponyville school). “What day is it?” Asked Snowfall. “Today? Why today is Hearth's Warming Day!” Said the pony. Snowfall was amazed and said “Hearth’s Warming Day! Hearth’s Warming Day!” Then she said quietly to herself “there’s still time! The spirits did it all in one night! Well they can do whatever they like, of course they can!” She looked back at the pony still standing there and said “young pony! Do you know if the prize cake down the street in the bakery is still there?” “You mean the one as big as me!? It’s still there!” He said. “What a smart young pony! Go and buy it for me with this!” She then threw down some bits. “Bring it back here at 5pm tonight and I’ll give you 300 bits! No, 500!!” “Wow! Really?! Thank you miss!” Said the young pony.

Snowfall Frost closed the window and said to herself “I’ll bring that cake to Snowfall’s house! It’s twice the size of Tiny Kim! But first…” Snowfall looked at her spell she was working on to erase Hearth’s Warming and she destroyed it. “There. Now that that’s done, before I go to Snowdash’s house,  it’s time to wrap some presents! I’ve got my niece’s party to go to!” She then started to wrap some presents with anything she could find in her house that would be good for a gift.

After some time, Snowfall started walking to where her niece was having the party, when on the way, she saw the same pony she saw before about the donation to the poor. “Happy Hearth’s Warming my fine pony!” Said Snowfall Frost with exceeding joy. “Snowfall Frost?” said the pony (Derpy), confused, surprised and baffled. “About that donation you asked me about yesterday…put me down for…” then Snowfall whispered an amount of bits in Derpy’s ear. Derpy gasped “That much?!” “And not a single bit less!" Said Snowfall. Derpy was amazed and said “wow. I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much!” “Happy Hearth’s Warming!” Said Snowfall. “And a very happy Hearth’s Warming to you Snowfall Frost!” said Derpy with beaming joy.

Snowfall then started to walk to where Starshine was having the party, the same place she saw before with the spirit of Hearth’s Warming Presents. She knocked on the door and was greeted by two surprised ponies. “Oh, my.” Said Marry (Rarity if you forgot). “Snowfall Frost?” Said Flutterholly (Fluttershy). I was hoping I wasn't too late for the party? I brought gifts” Snowfall said as she was levitating some presents she wrapped. Starshine then noticed her aunt. “You came!” She said with surprised joy. “Yes I did. Thank you for inviting me” said Frost. “I was wrong earlier, about Hearth's Warming Eve. It's not all about singing and presents. The singing and presents are all about celebrating the ponies in our lives. The ponies we should listen to more often: our friends. Our family.”

Snowfall then gave Starshine a wrapped present. Starshine unwrapped it and then got excited. “A spell book!” She said. “And one on rare spells too! Wow! Oh thank you aunt Snowfall!” “You’re welcome!” Snowfall said. “All of the rest of the gifts might not be as amazing as this one because I was in a hurry, but I’ll do better next time.” Snowfall then heard a voice in another room that sounded very familiar. One that she hadn’t heard in years. “Could it be?” she said, as she went through the crowd to find the pony. “Sunbell!” Snowfall said, and it was him! “Snowfall Frost?” Sunbell said, sounding surprised. “I know that you might never want to see me again, but I just want to say that I am so so sorry for the way I treated you” she said, starting to cry. “I let something else be the most important thing in my life when it should have been you! The best way to make Equestria a better place isn’t by making spells, but through love, through friendship. That’s the real magic. I was hoping that…maybe…we could start over?” “I would love that.” Sunbell said. “I’m just so glad that you finally came back around after all these years! Why don’t you stay for dinner? We have eggnog and fruitcake!” Snowfall was very happy, but then said “thanks, but I can only stay for a little bit. I’ve got somewhere else I need to be later on.”

After being at the party for a few hours, Snowfall went back to her house at precisely 5 o’ clock and that young pony was there with the cake, and she gave him 500 bits. She then walked to Snowfall’s house with the cake, more presents, and some food. She went up to the door, but put everything by the wall out of view of the door so that Snowdash wouldn’t see it. Snowfall knocked on the door, and Snowdash opened it. “Boss?” she said, looking surprised and a little scared. “Snowdash…I have something I need to say to you…” Snowfall said, sounding a little mad, because she was trying to surprise and prank her employee while she could. “I…I’m giving you a raise!” Snowfall looked even more surprised now and said “what?” Snowfall reevaluated herself and said “I’m…I’m giving you a raise. And I’m going to pay off the mortgage on your house.” The entire family heard what Snowfall said and were all surprised with delight. “Why don’t you come on in?!” Said Snowdash with joy.

Snowfall then revealed everything she had by levitating it with her magic. “I brought presents and food!” she said. The entire Dash family was in awe. “Wow!” Rosetta said. All of this shocked Snowfall, to the point where she started to question it, so she said “so is all of this true?” “It is.” Snowfall said. “I am going to give you a raise, pay off your mortgage, and I will pay for any medical bills needed to help your family.” she said those last words looking straight at Tiny Kim with care and love. Snowfall looked back at Snowdash and said “I am so sorry for the way I have been treating you. I was so wrong about Hearth’s Warming Eve. It’s not about gifts and songs, but about the ponies in our lives that mean so much.” “Wow” Snowdash said, so in awe and in shock that she couldn’t think of anything else to say. Mr. Dash witnessing all of this with the entire family then said to Snowfall “why don’t you stay for dinner?” “I would like that very much” said Snowfall emotionally.

From then on, Snowfall became the closest friend to the Dash family, and provided them every need. And for Tiny Kim, who did not die (as a filly), Snowfall became like a second mother to her, and they became as close as family. And for everypony who knew Snowfall, they would say that out of everypony, Snowfall Frost knew how to keep the Hearth’s Warming spirit alive. And for every year on, it was always said of all the Hearth's Warming Eve celebrations, Snowfall's was the Hearth's Warmingest.
