PINKIE PIE
It was fun setting up all the decorations inside Scrooge's room. It was difficult without waking Scrooge, but it was still fun. His room was decorated with all kinds of fruit and lights. At the stroke of two, I turned on the lights, opened his bed curtains and began to wake him. "Wake up sleepy head! It's time to get up!"
Scrooge turned to look at me. "Are you the second spirit who's coming was foretold?"
"Maybe..." I said. I jumped into a chair and said, "Now wake up, and know be better!"
"I've never met anyone like you." Scrooge said sitting up.
"Never? Not even any of my brothers or sisters?" I asked.
"Have you had many siblings?" Scrooge asked.
"Not many. Just a little over two-thousand." I said, grinning.
"Two-thousand?" Scrooge said surprised. "Imagine the grocery bills."
We both laughed. I stood up and said. "Have you ever noticed how things are always amazing and cheerful at Christmas?"
Scrooge's smile faded. "Honestly, Spirit, no."
"Well then, let's go downstairs!" I ran to the staircase and slid down the railing. I opened the door and sniffed the air. It smelled like cake. I had to give it to Sunset, she was certainly able to make it look like morning. Scrooge stepped outside and I led him to the next street and said, "Welcome, Ebenezer, to Christmas morning!"
People were out having fun, and enjoying themselves. Some were caroling, some were eating, and some were just enjoying themselves. It was so heart warming I couldn't help but singing.
"Tis the singing of the street corner choir" Scrooge then put his hand over my mouth. "Hey, what gives?" I asked.
"No offense, spirit," Scrooge explained, "but I'd like to get on with out journey."
"Well why didn't you just say so?" I asked. "What do you want to see first?"
"Um...kin!" Scrooge decided. "Family! Show me what they are doing today!"
I led Scrooge into a small home. Inside were Scrooge's nephew, Fred, and his wife, Clara. Along with them were some friends. "Come on Fred, give us an idea!"
"What are they playing?" Scrooge asked.
"I think it's yes and no." I replied.
"Well, I have got one." Fred said. And then people began shouted answers.
"Plant?"
"No."
"Mineral?"
"No."
"Animal ,then."
"What else?"
"Does it live on a farm."
"No."
"Does it live in the city?"
"Often."
"Is it a wanted creature?"
"Certainly not."
"Dog!"
"No."
Even Scrooge shouted "Cat!"
Then Clara shouted, "Cat!"
"I said it first." Scrooge said.
"No." Fred said.
"Mouse?"
"Oh, too cute."
"Leech?"
"Too kind."
"Wait, I think I have it." Clara shouted. "It's an animal that lives in the city, isn't wanted, and isn't a cat, a mouse, or a leech? It's your Uncle Scrooge!"
"Yes!" Fred shouted.
Scrooge's smile faded. "No more, spirit. I wish to see no more." I led him out of the house and to a small street in the west of town. "Why have you brought us here?" Scrooge asked.
"This is the home of your clerk, Applejack" I replied. Scrooge walked in, to the Apple Family making dinner.
"Big Mac! Can you get the table set up?" Granny Smith shouted.
"Yep." Big Macintosh replied.
"I cannot wait to see the look on Applejack's face when she realizes that your here Braeburn." Granny Smith said.
"Neither can I." Braeburn replied. "You think Applebloom's doin' okay?"
"I wish I knew. The doctors say that they can't figure out what's wrong with her." Granny Smith said.
"I just hope she gets better." Braeburn said. "Hey Big Mac! Is Applejack coming yet?"
Big Mac peeked through the blinds, and said. "Yep."
"Quick Braeburn hide!" Granny shouted. Braeburn hid behind a door, just as Applejack entered with Applebloom.
"Hey y'all." Applejack said, removing her scarf. "Is Braeburn here?"
"Nope." Big Mac said.
"He called and said he couldn't be here." Granny Smith said.
"Aw, that's too bad." Applejack said.
"Just messing with you!" Braeburn shouted and entered the room.
"Oh, Braeburn, you made it!" Applejack said with glee.
"Come on, let's eat dinner." Applebloom said. Her voice was scratchy, like when you have a virus. Unfortunately, that's exactly what Applebloom had.
"Of course." Applejack said.
Granny pulled Applejack aside, and asked, "How'd she behave at church?"
"As good as gold and better." Applejack said. "And, I think that she gets stronger everyday." They sat down at the table and prayed. "And God bless us." Applejack finished.
"God bless us, everyone." Applebloom said.
Applejack lifted her glass. "I'd like to propose a toast," She said. "to Mr. Scrooge, the founder of the feast!"
"Founder of the feast." Granny Smith said sarcastically. "I wish he were here, for I'd give him something to feast on, and he'd better hope he had the appetite for it!"
"Uh, Granny, it's Christmas." Applejack said.
"Fine!" Granny Smith shouted. "I'll toast to Mr. Scrooge, for your sake, Applejack, not for his! Long health to him, even if he is a stingy, greedy, selfish..."
"To Mr. Scrooge, the founder of the feast!" Applebloom shouted.
"To Mr. Scrooge." Granny Smith said, giving in.
As Applejack began to carve the goose, Scrooge asked me, "Spirit, tell me if Applebloom will live."
"That is the future, my realm is the present." I said, "But, however, I do see an empty chair in the corner, carefully preserved. If these events remain unchanged, the child will die. Come, my time grows short." I led Scrooge to a graveyard with a clock tower to my left.
"Why have you led me here?" Scrooge asked.
"This is where I leave you." I said. I may have had tears in my eyes.
"But, I've learned so much from you." Scrooge said.
"But, I must leave. Now, I leave you with the Ghost of Christmas yet to come." I pointed to a rock. "Look an angel!" Scrooge turned around and I ran inside the clock tower. Rainbow Dash, who's hair was no longer blue, Rarity, and Fluttershy were there, but not Sunset. "Wait, where's Sunset?" I asked.
"She's the Ghost of Christmas Future," Rainbow said, "And she's about to meet Scrooge."
