Dashing Through the Snow

Epilogue

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned about the generosity that this time brings, and the friendship that comes from that. I also learned to never take anything, like flying, for granted, because it may be gone the next day. Sometimes we need to really appreciate who and what we have. I'm such a lucky pony for having excellent friends who will go to any lengths to make you happy again, and what you just might do to make another pony happy.

Signing off, Rainbow Dash.

P.S. Dear Princess Celestia, I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Scootaloo Dash, Rainbow Dash's new daughter! She adopted me this morning. Can you believe it? My idol adopted me! Best. Hearth's Warming Eve. EVER!

The kind-hearted alicorn laughed at the filly's postscript, and wiped a tear from her eye. Her mane glowed in the faint moonlight as she waited for her sister to wake. Celestia opened her mouth and let out a sweet song, the traditional Hearth's Warming Eve carol.

The fire of friendship lives in our hearts,
As long as it burns we cannot drift apart.
Thought quarrels arise, their numbers are few.
Laughter and singing will see us through.
We all are a circle of pony friends,
A circle friends we shall be till the very end!~

Hooves stomped the ground alerted her she had an audience.

"Brilliant, sister." The princess of the night smiled, nuzzling her elder sister. Suddenly, her aqua eyes lit up in a foalish fashion. "Let us open our gifts! Race you!" And with that, Luna whirled around and galloped down the stairs. Celestia laughed and chased after, thinking of the two pegasi in Ponyville, love filling their house, turning it into a castle. Celestia smiled, and little did she know, those two pegasi smiled too.
