“Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong” the clock tower rings for Heartwarming Day.
“Oh wow, it looks so magical!” Gallop said to herself.
She quickly runs out of the room and goes into the dining room.
“HAPPY HEARTSWARMING GALLOP!!” Pinkie Pie calls at her.
“Happy Heartwarming Pinkie.” Gallop replied. Pinkie's voice made her jump a little.
Pinkie came to her with a purple box with a red ribbon.
“This is for you Gallop.” Pinkie said and she hoofs the box to Gallop.
“Oh thanks Pinkie you shouldn't have.” Gallop said.
“I want all my guests to be happy. You can open it now if you like.” Pinkie Pie says.
Gallop put the purple box onto the floor and unwraps her present.
It was a filly red Heartwarming dress, it looked like a filly Santa hoof dress. (Santa boots not included)
“Wow Pinkie, this looks beautiful Thanks so much Pinkie.” Gallop said with a tear.
“Oh it's my pleasure. Try it on.” Pinkie Pie tells her.
“I'd love too.” Gallop said.
Gallop puts on the dress and it looked so cute and wonderful.
“I look like Santa hoof Ho! Ho! Ho!” Gallop said with a laugh.
“Where's my bell?” She said afterwards.
“You mean, Sweetie Belle?” Asked Pinkie Pie.
Gallop then pulled a not amused look on her face.
“Sorry. In all seriousness, you look adorable.” Pinkie Pie said.
Gallop blushed.
“I think somepony's got a crush.” Pinkie Pie says in a tease.
“No I don't. What made you think that Pinkie?” Gallop asked with a blush.
“Just kidding.” Pinkie Pie answers.
Clover and Bill eventually come up into the room and see Gallop.
“Oh, you look so beautiful Gallop.” Clover said.
“Wow, Gallop. You look wonderful.” Bill says.
“Thanks Mum, Thanks Bill.” Gallop replied.
Clover and Bill smiled,
“Well, Pinkie. Are we all set for the festivities?” Clover asked.
“Yes we are. But we're just waiting for a sign.” Pinkie Pie says.
“Sign?” Clover asked looking puzzled.
Just then Pinkie Pie got her blue cannon ball out of nowhere and fired confetti all over the shop.
“My sign silly.” Pinkie said. To which Gallop laughed.
“Yes mum. It's time for the festivities.” Gallop says to the baffled Clover.
Gallop, Pinkie Pie, Bill and Clover all leave Sugar Cube Conner.
As they get into town, music hits their ears:
Hearth's Warming Eve is filled with presents
Some take you by surprise
A story shared by your good friends
That makes your spirits rise.
Sometimes you just let go of the past
Enjoy the present while it lasts
And really, it's not that much to ask
With good friends by your side
Now it's time to celebrate.
Gallop looked so happy and smiled as she walked through the crisp sounding snow.
Gallop, Pinkie, Bill and Clover get to the Heartwarming tree and Ponyville was then packed with ponies. It was going to be a fun day. There was music, games and what looks like Mr and Mrs Cake selling …. Cakes!
“Can I look mum?” Gallop asked.
“Yes Gallop. Be safe.” Clover said.
“I'll be safe mum and anyway, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are there too” Gallop said. And yes the CMC's and Babs were waving to her.
Gallop ran to them smiled at them.
All the CMC's and Babs had a present in her hoof.
“Happy Heartwarming Gallop!” The CMC's and Babs said together.
“Thanks.” Gallop replied looking ever so happy.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Babs came up to her and gave her their presents.
“Oh thank you, You are so kind to me.” Gallop said with tears in her eyes.
Gallop looked at the present that Apple Bloom gave to her. It was a yellow box with Apples wrappings on it. On the box it had a note:
To Gallop. This a little something for saving my life. You will always be my friend now and I'll always love you for what you've done. Thank you. Love Apple Bloom.
Gallop unwrapped the present.
A personal diary and pen. Gallop said with excitement.
“Thanks so much Apple Bloom.” Gallop said.
“No problem Gallop.” Apple Bloom said. She then gave her a hug.
Gallop looked at the present that Sweetie Belle gave to her. It was a white box with purple ribbon with white music notes on it. On the box it also had a note: Thank you for your kindness to ponies. The kindness shown to me, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. It's time that I shown my kindness to you. Hope you like your present. Love Sweetie Belle.
Gallop unwrapped the present.
The magic inside The Album by Countess Coloratura!” She said amazed. “ I don't like it, I LOVE it!” She Shouted. “I love this CD. Thanks so much Sweetie Belle.” Gallop said.
“No problem Gallop.” Sweetie Belle said. She then gave Sweetie Belle a hug.
Gallop looked at the present that Scootaloo gave her. It was a orange box with with dark red wrappings on it. Thank you for your acting 20% Cooler to my friends and it's about time I give you something that's more awesome. Thanks Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom looked at Scootaloo with an angry look on their faces.
“What?” She asked.
“Isn't it oblivious?” Sweetie Belle replied.
Sccotaloo looked as if she didn't know what they were talking about.
“You're actin' like Rainbow Dash. Apple Bloom eventually replied. Then Scootaloo was annoyed.
Meanwhile, Gallop unwrapped the present.
It was a book. Daring Do: and the Forbidden City of Clouds. Written by AK Yearling.
“Ah! Thank you so much Scootaloo!” Gallop said.
“No problem Gallop.” Scootaloo said.
“Hold on. I don't do hugs”. Scootaloo said before Gallop was going to hug her.
Finally, Gallop looked at the present that Babs gave to her. It was a dark blue box and it had a Manehattan skyline warping on it. “Thanks for bein' a friend and all to my friends and also, thanks for bein' a friend to me too. This is somethin' I thought you know you, like.
Gallop unwrapped the present.
They were two train tickets and to the glamorous city of Manehattan with a note. I've invited you to come with me and the cuz to go see Countess Coloratura IN CONCERT! and Oh yeah, meet my parents. The CMC's are coming too. She (Gallop) just couldn't speak on that present.
Eventually she came too and said:
“Thanks so much Babs This so nice of you.” Gallop said trying to say it with a Manehattan accent.
Babs and Gallop then shared a laugh together.
“No problem Gallop.” Babs said afterwards. With a few chuckles with her answer.
Suddenly a voice that sounded like Twilight spoke on to the speakers: “Attention eveypony. in five minues time Mayor Mare will come to the stage. Please make your way to a seat. Thank you.”
“Let's go Gallop.” Apple Bloom said.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Babs went to find a seat which all the other ponies did at the same time. The hooves sounded like a stampede heading straight to Ponyville again.
After 5 minutes, Mayor Mare came up to the stage and eveypony was hoofing and cheering. The ground was staring to shake. I didn't know ponies could cause Equestria quakes! (Sorry bad joke)
Mayor Mare was smiling as she looked at all the ponies that were surrounding her. She then started to speak.
“Welcome eveypony to this Heartwarming Party. It is so great to see all of you on this magical occasion. Heartwarming is a day where eveypony of all kinds get along together in peace and harmony. Everyone of us make friends by friendship, present giving and love. Eveypony knows that “Friendship is Magic” and being there for your friends and other ponies too, even if you haven't met them.
I would like Rainbow Dash and Gallop Crush to please make their way to the stage.
Rainbow Dash flew in and landed next to Mayor Mare.
Gallop looked shocked. “Me? Why does she want me?” She wondered.
“Go Go!” Said Apple Bloom hoofing her on.
Gallop got up and noticed that she was at the back of the crowd. It was packed.
Gallop looked around her and yes, it was packed. so no fast take off's. She took off slow and without thinking she flew to the stage and landed next to Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash looked at Gallop and then said.
“That was awesome Gallop, when did you learn that?”
“I didn't. It felt like the right thing to do” Gallop replied. Rainbow Dash was amazed.
The Mayor started to speak again.
“Eveypony this is Gallop Crush. She has only been here for roughly 4 days now and in that time she didn't make one friend, But she made many friends. Though out those 4 days she has now made many friends with friendship and love. The many important ingredients of true friendship. The ponies stomped the ground and cheered after that announcement. She then continued. “She has also been there for ponies she has met.”
“How has she been there for those ponies you may ask? Well one wet and cold night at Sweet Apple acres Gallop was looking for the CMCs or the Cutie Mark Crusaders in full. In time She met one of them, Apple Bloom.”
Gallop looked shocked as Mayor Mare said her name.
Apple Bloom overheard her by the sound of crying. Apple Bloom then ran to her to the stage.
“Gallop told Apple Bloom about that she was looking for her Cutie Mark and she started to talk. But soon after, a bolt of lightning clashed with a tree that Apple Bloom was under. Apple Bloom here did not see this happening, but Gallop Crush did. She flew at Apple Bloom and pushed her out of the way as the tree came falling down to the ground. By doing so she saved Apple Bloom life.
The ponies stomped the ground and cheered again.
So You see everypony. If Gallop hadn't acted like she did, Apple Bloom would not be here today.”
All the ponies were cheering once more and let me tell you, it was deafening!
“Gallop Crush, for all your actions I here by award you the key of Ponyville. Meaning you are always welcome to come back and when you are 18 years old you get a house for free.” Mayor Mare said.
Gallop looked speechless as she was hoofed the key of the town.
“Look zis way please” Photo Finish said. Photo finish took a photo of Gallop with a shocked, surprised, happy and confused look on her face holding the key.
“Oh yes. Sehr gut, danke!” Photo Finish said after the picture was taken.
Rainbow Dash hugged Gallop and then out of the blue she said.
“Wanna race me? If you say yes, prepare to get Crushed.” The boasting Rainbow said.
“What race you? I'm not fast enough to beat you, Rainbow. Gallop answered..
“Well if you put your mind to it, you'll get there.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Thanks Rainbow” Gallop said.
“When shall I race you?” Gallop asked.
“Later in the day, I will make plans. Well with Twilight's help of course.” Rainbow Dash replied.
“This is it Derpy! The time is NOW!” Dr Whooves said awaiting for something to happen.
