It was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville. The birds sang in the trees, and the whole city was bustling with activity.
Caramel stretched and winced slightly as his joints popped, sounding like gunshots. He shook his mane and dropped from the bed to the floor.
"M'urnin Caramel," grumbled his sister, Gala, from the bed next to his.
"G'mornin sis," he said with a pleasant smile, making his way to the mirror that stood in the corner. Caramel ran his hoof through his mane, attempting to straighten out all the wild tangles. Today was a big day. Caramel's father had finally decided to let him help with the Winter Wrap-Up festivities! Barely able to contain his enthusiasm, Caramel let out a quiet whinny and twirled in place, his tail and mane swirling around.
"Hey Caramel," Gala called, clambering out of bed, "You're with the green team right?"
Caramel nodded excitedly and pulled the green vest from the drawer. Taking it in his mouth, he trotted happily over to his bed.
"So that means you get to work with Big Macintosh huh?"
Caramel dropped the vest in shock, his face turning crimson red. "Wh.... What did you say?" Caramel's voice came out as a strangled squeak. He shook his head violently and turned around so his sister couldn't see his face. "y... yeah!" he said, trying and failing to sound indifferent, "What of it?"
Gala walked over and nudged her brother in the side, eliciting a loud squeak. Smiling, she whispered, "Oh little brother... Your secret is safe with me." She turned and began walking out the door. "You might be able to hide it from everypony else, but you're the biggest coltcuddler I know." And with that, she shut the door behind her, leaving Caramel in a shocked silence.
Still blushing, Caramel picked up the vest and put it on. He opened the door, and with one last glance in the mirror, he descended down the stairs.
