Temporary Truce for Heart's Warming Eve

'Twas the night before Heart's Warming, when all through the Everfree,
Nopony was stirring, not even a Breezy;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Clover the Clever would soon be there

Enough with the rhymes. Just for a while, Spike, the CMC, and the mane 6 (including the now reverted Twilight), gathered around a small fire inside a cave. They had called a temporary truce to celebrate the holidays. Nopony ever tried to argue during the holidays. Heart's Warming was the one time everypony put aside their differences to strengthen their bonds. During Heart's Warming, a strong magic spell cast long ago by their ancestors takes over everyponies hearts. Their hearts are cleared of all bad emotions and they feel nothing but pure happiness.

As they sat, Spike handed each one of them a cup of hot choco that Pinkie made. When they all had their drinks, Spike and the CMC cuddled up to the mane six. Spike was beside Twilight, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle with their sisters, and Scootaloo with Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy was with all her animal friends and Pinkie was already asleep. Sleep was contagious, for in less than a while, Spike and the CMC fell asleep. The rest of the mane six soon followed, except for Twilight and Rarity.
"Twilight?" said Rarity.
"Yes Rarity? What is it?" asked Twilight.
"Me and the rest of the girls were wondering... Are we really going to go back to fighting after Heart's Warming?" asked Rarity.
"Well, we don't have to. The only reason we were fighting was because of your desire to feed." replied Twilight.
"I kinda wish that I could stop, but the primal instincts are too strong." said Rarity. "I don't want to hurt anypony, not my friends, and certainly not my family." as Rarity said that, she unconsciously hugged her little sister tighter.
"I'm sure we'll sort things out Rarity. Spike, the crusaders, and I will do our best to solve this before anypony gets hurt." said Twilight.
"I hope so. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I was responsible for the injuries of anypony." said Rarity.
"Anypony?" asked Twilight, doubt evident in her tone.
"Okay, fine... Anypony except Blueblood, he deserved it. In all honesty we probably did everypony a favor." replied Rarity. They both giggled. Pinkie, who was thought to be asleep, was stirred by the giggling.
"Don't worry. Just trust us. We'll solve it, I promise." said Twilight.
"Pinkie promise?" asked Pinkie in a very sleepy tone.
"Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." replied Twilight, doing the actions that accompanied the promise.
"Awesome." With a deep yawn, Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie joined the others for a peaceful sleep.
