Discord p.o.v:
I was lonely. It was Hearths Warming Eve and everypony else had family and friends to go to but me. It was just... depressing. I wanted somepony to hang out with.
"Ugh..." I mumbled, sighing.
I wandered around the quiet house. The others had all went to visit their homes and Fluttershy was away in Cloudsdale.
I decided to make some food. I pulled out the ingredients for a cake. If the other ponies weren't here that just meant they got no cake.
"Okay so I need two eggs, a cup of sugar..." I listed off the ingredients and nearly ran into Roseluck. I Caught Roseluck around the waist so she didnt hurt herself. She blushed.
"Sorry Roseluck." I said, straightening her up.
She seemed surprised. "Why aren't you with your family, Discord?"
"Oh. I don't exactly have a family" I looked down, then back up.
"I'm guessing you want some help?" She asked me.
I nodded and she got the rest of the ingredients together with me. I was happy to finally have some company. We followed the instructions and mixed everything together. At one point I got flour all over Roseluck. She laughed and flicked some at me.
"Hey!" I protested, then grinned.
I flicked more flour on her. Pretty soon we were both covered from head to hoof in flour. We were laughing when the door opened.
"Nooooo! Not more ghosts!" Fluttershy cried, fleeing from the room in terror.
We laughed and ran out to her.
"Fluttershy! It's us, Discord and Roseluck" I said.
"No! I dont believe you!" Fluttershy was hiding behind a laughing Rainbow Dash.
"Fluttershy. They just have flour all over." Rainbow explained.
Fluttershy peeked around the rainbow pegasus' shoulder. "You sure?" she asked.
Rainbow Dash nodded and she came out.
"So why are you two back?" I asked.
"Fluttershy forgot something and asked for me to come back with her." Rainbow Dash explained
"Oh Roseluck! You have my letter right?" Roseluck nodded. "O-okay, so you're here for three days correct?" Again she nodded.
She smiled and Fluttershy walked away, talking to Rainbow Dash.
"Well that was entertaining." I laughed and we walked back to the kitchen.
We continued to make and finish the cake. I put it in the oven and sighed.
"Finally done." I said.
Roseluck nodded. We walked into the living room and sat on the couch to wait for the cake to finish.
"So you're staying here with Fluttershy too?" I asked, making conversation.
Roseluck nodded. "Yes. I'm going to be here for the holidays, to help with her critters."
We sat and talked for a good half hour, getting to know each other better. I learned she grew roses with her friends Daisy and Lilly, as well as she loved to go on midnight strolls around Ponyville.
The timer dinged and we jumped up. We walked to the kitchen and I opened the oven.
"It smells good." I said.
Ros grabbed the oven mitts and pulled out the cake. After he set it down to cool, we got the frosting tools.
"What colors?" I asked.
"Red and pink, of course." she replied.
I pulled out the red and pink food coloring and mixed it into the frosting. The cake was cool enough now. We frosted the cake and smiled at our work.
"I say we did good." I said. "Not as good as the Cakes, but it'll do."
Roseluck nodded. "I'll be right back." she left the kitchen and I cleaned up the mess we made.
A few moments later she returned. "The cake looks really good." I said.
She nodded again. "let's have some then." She smiled a smile that made me melt.
I cut into the cake and placed a piece on her plate, and one on mine. We ate and talked about Hearths Warming wishes we have.
"I've always wanted to be kissed under the mistletoe." Roseluck sighed.
"Rose. I have a present for you." I said.
She looked up, surprised. "You do?" she asked.
I nodded. "Follow me." I stood up and she followed.
I led her to the living room and stood in the middle of it. She stood near me. I faced her and pulled her close. She let out a small gasp at the sudden closeness. My heart pounded in my ears. I could feel her breath on my lips, we were that close. I finally closed the distance and kissed her. Her eyes widened and she gasped again, parting her lips. I closed my eyes and, after a moment we pulled away. I could feel my face redden.
"Look up, Rose." I whispered softly.
She looked and was shocked. There was mistletoe above our heads. She looked back to me.
"Merry Christmas Roseluck." I said, smiling.
