A Hearth's Warming Carol

by Little-Miss-Minty


A Very Merry Draconequus

Discord woke up smiling. He got out of bed smiling, and opened the door smiling.

"Merry Hearth's Warming, everypony!" He shouted as soon as he stepped out into the hall.

First, he ran down to the dining room to say a good morning to Luna and Celestia. He saw them sitting at the end of the long table, so Discord, in his happiness, decided to have some fun. He flew up, jumped on the table and slid on his long stomach, barely missing the candelabra in the middle of the table.

"Merry Hearth's Warming, Princesses!" Discord smiled, his face inches away from the two sisters.

"Merry Hearth's Warming, Discord," Luna said, smiling. "How was your night?"

"Oh Luna, you should know." He winked. "It was rather eventful. But I'd rather not explain, today is the day for merrymaking!" Discord conjured up a few sprigs of mistletoe and threw them at Celestia. "Merry Hearth's Warming, Tia!"

Celestia was slightly annoyed at Discord, but she still somehow smiled. She blushed, and responded with, "Merry Hearth's Warming, Discord."

"Merry, merry, merry!" Discord got up and floated around. "Thanks for the wonderful awakening, but I really must go and greet some of my other friends." He grinned even wider. "Good day, Luna, Celestia!"

He snapped his fingers, and teleported to Twilight Sparkle's Castle. It looked wonderful; the sparkling purple and blue outside, adorned in red and green decorations, and beautiful little lights. It looked like a rainbow of festivity. Without a second thought, Discord opened up the door and yelled a loud, "Merry Hearth's Warming, everypony!" Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Apple Jack, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Spike were celebrating Hearth's Warming Morning together. They had a wide assortment of cinnamon rolls, muffins, pastries, bread, and donuts on the dining table, and Pinkie, Spike, and the three fillies were enjoying much of it.

"Merry Hearth's Warming, Discord!" Pinkie said, shoving another donut into her mouth.

"Merry Hearth's Warming, Pinkie! Merry Hearth's Warming to all of you!" Discord said, throwing red and green confetti all over the place.

"Would you like to join us, Discord?" Twilight asked the draconequus.

"Me? Of course! I'd love to!" He made a chair appear next to Fluttershy's and sat on it. For the first time in the morning, he felt a bit of guilt. He leaned over to his best friend. "Fluttershy," Discord said, "I'm sorry, really. I guess I just lost my temper, and it got worse..."

Fluttershy leaned closer to the draconequus. "It's okay, really. Don't worry, Discord."

"But I hate seeing you upset. And I would do anything to prevent your beautiful little eyes from crying, Fluttershy," Discord smiled, a bit of a tear in his eye, himself.

Rainbow Dash leaned closer to Apple Jack, and whispered, "How much you wanna bet we see them making out under the mistletoe, tonight?"

Apple Jack just gave a disapproving glare at Rainbow Dash, but Rarity giggled a little.

"Discord, really, don't worry. We're still friends, we'll always be friends," Fluttershy said. The two friends hugged.

Everypony (and Spike) said an "Awww..."

Discord glared at them all, but Fluttershy said, "I hope you're having a Merry Hearth's Warming, Discord."

"Oh, Fluttershy, this is absolutely the best Hearth's Warming I've ever had. And it's only 9:00 in the morning!" Discord looked around at everypony... Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Apple Jack, and Rainbow Dash; Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Spike; Fluttershy and him. This was the best Hearth's Warming ever.

Apple Bloom held up her cup of apple cider. "Faust bless us, everypony."

Everypony held up their cup, including Discord, and repeated, "Faust bless us, everypony."

Pinkie jumped up with a donut in her hoof. "Best. Hearth's Warming. EVER!"
