//------------------------------// // Happy Hearth's Warming Eve! // Story: Hearth's Warming Eve with Doodle Bug and Hoop // by Bambisbb //------------------------------// Hoop and Doodle Bug grinned, "We're actually going to make it. We're not going to destroy Hearth's Warming Eve!" Hoop cheered, sure, it was annoying staying inside all day long, for 4 days, just so they could not ruin the holidays, but hey, if the town was happy, he was happy. "I know! We didn't catch anything on fire or break anything or, or..." Doodle squealed, "I HAVE TO GO TELL PINKIE!" She dove out the still broken window before Hoop could object. "Oh no..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So many accidents later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "HOOOOOOP!" Doodle dove back through the window, with Pinkie and Gummy, "I MESSED UP, I MESSED UP BAD!" "Oh dear Luna, what did you do Doodle?! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" "IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" "Actually..." Pinkie started, "It kind of was, I mean, you got really clumsy and stumbled out the door of Sugar Cube Corner, and you made a fruit stand from Sweet Apple Acres fall and scatter the apples and then the carts crashed and nearly killed Mayor Mare, and-" "I KNOW PINKIE, I WAS THERE AND NOW EVERYPONY'S TRYING TO KILL MEEEE!" Doodle collapsed crying. "Now everypony wants Doodle..." Pinkie looked at Hoop, "AJ is really mad, and so is just about everypony..." "Oh, okay...Okay okay okay....We can fix this! WE CAN FIX THIS!" "Give up Hoop...We can't fix it..." "Yes we can Doodle Bug! WE CAN FIX THIS! WE CAN FIX IT, AND WE CAN THROW AN EPIC PARTY!" "No we can't..." "Yes we can! WE CAN DOODLE! WE CAN!" Hoop took off, diving out the window, and running off, shouting, 'WE CAN FIX IT!' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So many accidents later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "But...We got out of it." Hoop smiled, helping Doodle Bug up, "And they want to apologize. Well...If you apologize they will too." Doodle smiled, wiping tears away, "So...You almost burnt the town down...And they forgave you and me?" "As a great mare once said, 'Yuppers!'" Doodle Bug smiled and hugged him, "You're so amazing Hoop!" "I know. Oh, and we also owe them a tree..." "A tree...We owe them a tree....WHERE ARE WE GONNA GET A- Oh wait." She looked at the feather tree they made. "A tree...We can give them a tree! We can give them our tree, and the cookies, and the decorations...WE CAN THROW A PARTY!" Pinkie cheered, "I'll get my party cannon!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~No accidents later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rainbow Dash squinted and watched as Doodle Bug and Hoop pulled a tree up the path, "Oh good- What kind of tree is that?" "It's our tree...And...These are our cookies...We would like to throw a party, to say...Sorry, for everything we've done..." Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes, "I guess...You'll be careful, right? And not destroy the town?" "We'll try our hardest!" ".....I'll take what I can get. Get started." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A few accidents later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We pulled it off..." Doodle grinned, "WE PULLED IT OFFFF!" A few ponies looked at her, and she blushed, "Sorry...." They shrugged and continued on, "We did it Hoopy!" She smiled at Hoop, "We pulled it off, we didn't ruin Hearth's Warming Eve!" "And I helped!" Pinkie Pie bounced beside Doodle, Gummy dangling from her hair. Doodle nodded, "Good job on the last minute sweets Pinkie!" "Thank you!" "No problem!" Doodle nodded, "Time to join the party?" Hoop nodded "Yuppers!" Doodle squealed and ran off to the sweets table, grabbing a cookie before going to Hoop. "I forgot something." "What?" "Your present silly..." She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, "Spent all of my bits on new ornaments..." Hoop blushed and swallowed, "Me too...Uh...Hug?" Doodle laughed, "Sure Hoop. Hug!" She tackled Hoop and hugged him, Pinkie Pie joining in. Doodle grinned and trotted up to the tree, "Joy to the world! The Princesses have come, let Equestria receive, her Queens! Let every heart, prepare their room, and Saints and angels sing, and Saints and angels sing, and Saints and Saints and angels sing!" Hoop and Pinkie followed her, "Joy to the world, the Saviors reign, let Saints their songs employ, while fields and floods rocks, hills and plains, repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat, the sounding joy!" Pretty soon, everypony was singing. "Joy to the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove, the glories of their righteousness, and wonders of their love, and wonders of their love! No more will sin and sorrow grow, nor thorns infest the ground!" The whole town laughed and smiled. Doodle grinned, "Best Hearth's Warming Eve, ever..." She giggled and backed up, bumping into somepony, "Sorry-" She started before Derpy Hooves bumped into the table of treats...Knocking over a candle...That fell on the tree...The dry, tree made of Pegasus feathers...Doodle swallowed, "Hey Hoop." "Yea..." "Start running..." "Yea." Hoop and Doodle started running from the crowd of angry ponies, for the second time this week. "Merry Hearth's Warming Eve Doodle Bug!" "Merry Hearth's Warming Eve Hoop! Angel Bunny's catching up, faster Hoop!" "WHY DON'T WE JUST FLY?" "GOOD IDEA!" They spread their wings and took off with a few flaps, "ALMOST THERE!" Doodle grinned, "FIRST ONE THROUGH THE WINDOW WINS!" "Wait, wha-?" Doodle Bug dove and crashed through the window, "Oh...Wrong window..." She laughed and scurried up as Hoop came through the opposite window. "Barricade the windows and doors?" He asked. "Yuppers!" Doodle Bug scurried and pushed the couch in front of the door, Hoop putting chairs in front of the windows, also his mattress. "Hey Hoop?" "Yea?" "I can't wait until New Years!" "You're crazy Doodle Bug! You're crazy and that's why you're my best friend!" "WOOOOHOOOO!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A few accidents later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight and Rainbow Dash looked at each other, "Guess neither of us win?" Twilight asked. "What? They ruined Hearth's Warm-" "No they didn't Dash! Don't you see? They made it better! The whole town pitched in to rebuild, to fix the holiday! They saved the holidays!" Dash smiled, "I guess so, huh? Looks like two awkward, clumsy ponies saved Hearth's Warming Eve!" Twilight nodded, "Looks like it! You know Rainbow, if this were a Hearth's Warming Eve story...It would be a crazy one." "Yea it would be Twi. It would be..."
