It started to get really cold and the wind started to pick up. Winter was coming and in 3 days time all of Ponyville will be covered in snow.

“Right this does not look good !!” Twilight said as she puts down the book

“Spike you can't tell anypony. Not even Gallop Crush. Promise?” Twilight asked her personal assistant.

“Yes Twilight I promise. 'Cross My Heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!' Spike said. 

“I have a feeling there maybe a Pinkie Pie statue in Ponyville some time soon”. Twilight thought to herself. She then said to Spike:

“Great and I've seen how you look at her.” Spike thought she was either suspicion or teasing him. 

Spike blushed and then said:

“Nothing's going on with me and Gallop Twilight. Seriously.”

“Hee Hee. Very well Spike. Well we have Hearthswarming plans to do”.

“Oh I knew you were going to say that” Spike said in a huff.

Twilight turned on the radio and found that the channel had been changed.

It was the sound of the Tardis. But Twilight twiddled the dial and turned back to the PWS Network

"Winter is coming and it is time to stay safe in these cold days. So here are reminders to stay safe this coming winter: 

"1: Stay indoors and don't go out.”

"2: Only go out if absolutely necessary."

"3: If you go out, wrap up warm."

"4: If you are indoors Close your doors to save heat."

"5: Look after older ponies if they are near by. 

6: Most importantly stay safe."

Meanwhile back at Sugar Cube Conner Pinkie Pie was decorating the shop. It looked like something from a Heart warming card.

“This year is going to be the best Heartswarming day ever and I mean EVER!! I got cakes to make, Ponies to see and this BIG Heartwarming tree put up.” Pinkie Pie said so very fast.

Pinkie Pie then said: “This is turning out to be a good story by Mark Hyder. Well Hyderpony on Fimfic and you never know, this story should end up on YouTube one day.”

“Pinkie Pie darling stop breaking the fourth wall !! Honestly it's so unprofessional.” A mare unicorn pony with a purple stylish mane walked into Sugar Cube Conner.

“Oh Hi Rarity. Do you want a cake, Muffins? Or I do have Marshmallows cakes just in” Pinkie Pie said in her usual Pinkie Pie hyperactive voice. 

“No thank you. I'm trying to watch my figure. Rarity answers polity.
“Figures? We don't have any figures”. Pinkie said baffled to witch Rarity gave an eye roll and then finished what she was trying to say. “ I want to talk to you alone, you know? in private .” 

“Alone? you mean a one two one kind of chat” Pinkie Pie asked

“Yes Ms. Pie. A one two one kind of chat.” Rarity said annoyed. 

“Okay Rarity. Um Mrs Cake? Can you take over please?” Pinkie Pie asked

“Don't worry about it Pinkie. I'm on it” Mrs Cake says.

Pinkie Pie and Rarity walk to the back of the shop and go to a small room.

Pinkie looked back outside of the room and then looked left and then right down the hall way and came back into the room, closed the door and locked the door.

Pinkie then closed the blinds over the windows and took out a scanner.

“Pinkie Pie darling, what are you doing?” Rarity asked.

“Bugs? Tripped wires? Secret Cameras ?! You never know whose watching, listening or even reading what I am saying !!” Pinkie Pie said in a creepy way. 

“What did I say about breaking the fourth wall Pinkie ?!” Rarity asked in an angry voice.

“Oops sorry. Sorry readers.... Sorry.” Pinkie Pie said with a blush.

“Well anyway, we have something special planed for Gallop Crush. As you may not know. But knowing you already you would already know.” Pinkie Pie tells her until Rarity comes in and says: “So Gallop Crush saved Apple Bloom's live and she will be the guest of honour at the Hearths warming party?”

“Oh this IS going fun and I love fun and I know you do too.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Yes Pinkie. But you have to do your Pinkie promise that you will not tell her about this. I want this to be a surprise.” Rarity asked. 
“Cross my heart hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye.” Pinkie said.

“Good good. Well as you might know as well Rainbow Dash is setting up the Hearths warming party and Gallop Crush is Rainbow's guest of honour and I must say she's doing a divine job at it” Rarity said impressed.

“Well duh, I'm the one who gave the putting in your words a divine job.” Pinkie says.

“Yes. Well I have to go now and I will report back later and remember Pinkie not a word to Gallop.” Rarity demanded. 

“My lips are sealed.” Pinkie says

Pinkie Pie and Rarity leave the room. As Pinkie walked onto the hallway somepony called out her name.

“Hey Pinkie Pie!!” 

It was Gallop Crush.

“Hi Gallop Crush. Is everything okay?” Pinkie asked.

“You know you can me Gallop, don't you Pinkie Pie?” Gallop say

“Oh okay then and you can call me Pinkie Gallop.” Pinkie replied back.

“Oh hee hee. Well I wanted to see if you have any cheap cakes. I only got 5 bit on me” Gallop wondered. 

“Sure Gallop I got some cakes. But the cheap cakes start from 6 bits” Pinkie Replied. 

“Oh. okay. Thanks anyway Pinkie” Gallop said and looking bit sad and disappointed.

Gallop turned around and before she was able to walk off.

“Um Gallop!!” Pinkie called.

Gallop turns back around to face Pinkie.

“Yes Pinkie” She still looked sad and disappointed.

“As you are my guest and I hate to see a young Filly look sad and disappointed, so you can get some free cakes on me” Pinkie said cheering her up. 

Gallop looked shocked in amazement and then replied:

“Oh thank Pinkie!! But I can't accept that.” 

“Yes you can Gallop. It's the Holiday season and I want all my guests to be happy and that goes to you too. Oh I'm so sorry readers. I wish I could give you cakes too, but unfortunately I 'm busy in this story at the moment and I can tell you it'll be a good one.” Pinkie answered to us and Gallop.

Gallop laughed.

“Oh Pinkie? You're breaking the fourth wall again. How do your friends cope?” Gallop asked. 

Pinkie laughed.

“Well my friends love me for who I am and it doesn't matter to them. Yes Rarity can't stand it sometimes but it's all in good fun.” Pinkie answered.

“Thank you Pinkie. All your friends are super nice.” Gallop said in appreciation. 

“Yes. That's why we're the Elements of harmony.” Pinkie Pie said with glee.

“GALLOP!! THERE'S A PONY LOOKING FOR YOU!!” Mrs. Cake called out. 

“COMING MRS CAKE!” Gallop called back.

“I better see who that is Pinkie.” Gallop says.

“Okay. I'll just leave these cakes in your room.” Pinkie said. 

“Thanks Pinkie. Gallop says and then she runs back to the shop. 

“Hello Gallop, I've bought you a letter.” Said Derpy. 

“Oh thanks Derpy.” Gallop said happily. Derpy hoofed the envelope.

“Who can this be from?” She thought.

Gallop opened the envelope. Fast and read the letter.


“Hey Gallop, it's Bill.

Hope you're having a great time at Ponyville and I hope you are closer to finding your Cute mark soon.

Flight camp's going well and I made lots of friends. It so cold here but we have been given great tips to keep warm. I learned to not over power your wings when you're flying and only go fast if you need to, like in races and emergency situations.

I take you met Rainbow Dash? She's famous here. Everypony talks about her. she's an icon to all us cadets.

I miss you so much little sis and I can't wait to see you after flight camp.

Love

Bill

P.S.

Derpy's got a box for you. Hope you like it.”

Gallop had tears in her eyes as she read through the letter and looked at Derpy. She gave to the box to Gallop. Eventually. 

Gallop opened the box and inside were:
Flight goggles, 101 flying tips book, Heart shape necklace and a note. Wait I'm sure that seems familiar.

“Are those the necklaces Pinkie Pie gave you?” “You haven't eaten any of them?!”

You get it now, don't you? Okay back to the story.

Gallop read the note:

'Merry Hearthswarming sis. Bill.'

Gallop cried and I think it was like the cry Rainbow Dash gave in “Takes for the Memories”. Bill must be the second pony to find the 'cry button' inside a pony. She misses Bill so much. Derpy gave Gallop a big hug.

“It's okay Gallop. You have a lovely family.” Derpy said trying to cheer her up. 

“Yes I do and I do wish he was here too.” Gallop said with a sob. 

“Yes. Me too.” Derpy said with a sigh. 

“Oh? You do? Why Derpy?” Gallop asked.

“Because I want to see your happy face when you see him.” Derpy says with a tear.

Gallop had tears in her eyes and gave big hug back to Derpy.

“Thanks Derpy.” Gallop said with a smile. 

Derpy smiled back and then said:

“You're welcome Gallop. Well anyway I better be leaving.” She said.

Gallop waved at Derpy as she leaved.

A young filly walked into Sugar Cube Conner and she looked at Gallop and then walked up to her.

“Hello Gallop. I'm Sweetie Belle.” Sweetly Belle said with her famous squeak in the end. 

Gallop looked at her and her month dropped!!

“I'm SO Pleased to meet you Sweetie Belle. Gallop said so happy to see her. But I thought Apple Bloom said 3 days?” 

“Change of plans and we think we found the perfect pony who can give you tips on flying.” Sweetie Belle answered.

“Um whose that?” Gallop asks. 

“Oh she's just outside and she wants a word with you” Sweetie Belle says.

“Oh. I better see who that is.” Gallop replied. 

Gallop and Sweetie Belle then left Sugar Cube Corner to see this mystery pony.

Gallop looked at the mystery pony and it was...............
