//------------------------------// // A Merry Hearth's Warming Eve (Celly and Woona) // Story: The Foalhood Series // by Black Nebula //------------------------------// Little filly Princess Celestia skipped around the Hearth's warming Tree that was decorated with baubles and colorful tinsel. Her pink mane flowed around as the pony skipped. But as Celestia admired her favorite ornament, a fire ruby and amber sun, the huge pine tree fell on top of the little alicorn. Groggily opening her eyes to see a wild forest of pine leaves scattering the living room, she saw Luna, her little sister sheepishly grinning and munching on a Gingerbread Colt cookie. A shattered sun ornament, Celestia's favorite, was now in a million glimmering pieces scattered on the floor. "Oh Luna! What have you done!" "I-I'm sowwy Tia." said Luna, her eyes shining with innocence. "I was twying to pwactice flying. To be Woona, fastest fwyer in Equestwia!" Luna struck a pose, standing on her hind legs and putting one front leg up. "YOU BROKE MY FAVORITE ORNAMENT! SORRY WILL NOT FIX IT!" screamed Celestia will sadness and anger. Luna started to cry, picked up the pieces of her sister's ornament and galloped upstairs. Celestia sat on her haunches in the middle of the pile of pine and pouted. After she stopped crying, Luna got some dark and blue glass along with the red and orange glass and used some magic. Concentrating, it took Luna lots of time and plenty of breaks to glance at the spell book. Awhile passed and Luna finally finished what she wanted to do. After wrapping it in colorful paper with moons on it and tying it with a orange, fluffy bow, Luna tip-hoofed downstairs and passed her napping sister. Slipping on her scarf and saddle, with bits in hoof, Luna went to the marketplace and bought some mini cakes, and some things from the jewelers shop after forcing the owner to take her bits. With her purchases on her back, the blue alicorn skipped home to Canterlot Castle and thumped on the icy door. After a few minutes of walking circles in the snow, Luna opened the castle with her Canterlot Key and saw her sister looking mournfully at the Hearths Warming tree. "Tia, Happy Hearths Warming Eve!" said Luna offering her sister a sun shaped cake and a golden box and a little ball shaped gift. Celestia chomped the little cake and opened the ball shaped gift to reveal her old sun ornament, half sun, half moon. After giving Luna a quick hug, she unraveled the gold box. Inside was a yellow crown with a purple diamond on it, a necklace, yellow too with a purple diamond also in the middle, and 4 golden horseshoes. Luna took off her saddle and scarf to reveal a black neck-piece with a white moon on it, 4 black horseshoes, a black tiara, and a little cake, moon shaped though. Celestia sighed happily and pulled her little Woona close and said, "Happy hearths Warming Little Lulu." Luna said, "I wove you too big sistew! Happy Hearths Warming Eve to you too!"
