After five days of travel, the train finally reached Los Pegasus. Tired and weary from the long journey, Camera, Film, and Melody were a little slow at getting up from their seats. After five to ten minutes, the three stallions stood on the Los Pegasus train platform. All around them, Hearth's Warming decorations were hung up and holiday music was playing over an intercom. One thing that was immediately different about Los Pegasus from Ponyville was the lack of snow, as snow clouds were impossible to make in the rather warm climate. Despite the difference, Los Pegasus was still showing alot of holiday spirit.
"Ah, Los Pegasus. I haven't been here in years, and this is the first time you've been here, Plowy." Film said, turning to the Power Ponies figure hanging on his saddlebag.
Nothing was said by the figure.
Camera let out a light chuckle before replying, "yeah, it sure has been a while, Film."
Melody smiled and said, "t-totally. S-so, let's see about getting to Camera's place."
The trio made their way out of the station, with Camera calling for a taxi. After climbing into the wagon, the cab driver asked, "so, where can I take you three this fine Hearth's Warming?"
"Can you take us to 8756 Applewood drive, please?" Camera replied.
The cab driver grunted and nodded before taking off. 30 minutes later, the wagon pulled up to a mansion which most ponies would kill to have.
"That'll 70 bits, please." the cab driver grunted, accepting the small bag Camera gave him.
"Of course. Thanks alot, happy Hearth's Warming." Camera said, smiling.
The driver merely grunted in acknowledgment and rode off. Turning to face the mansion, Melody couldn't help but be awed by it; despite being raised in a similar house himself. The mansion was a rather large piece of real estate, with a white exterior and a brown roof. On the left and right sides of the house, a swimming pool and a tennis court could be seen.
"You're pretty cute when you stare like that, ya know?" Camera asked jokingly as he observed his coltfriend's shocked expression.
Suddenly realizing that he had been caught staring, Melody smiled embarrassingly and blushed. Camera chuckled and gave him a quick peck on the mouth.
Ah, young love. I remember when I had that, Film thought, a sort of sad smile on his muzzle.
Camera was the first to the large wooden doors and knocked. The door opened and Camera's mother stood in the doorway. She smiled widely and said excitedly, " oh Camera, welcome back, happy Hearth's Warming!"
She then gave Camera a big hug and he replied, "heh. It's good to see you again, Mom. Happy Hearth's Warming."
His mother ended the embrace and for the first time, looked at the two other ponies standing with him.
"Oh, is this the fine young stallion you asked about, and, oh? Is that... Film Reel?" she asked.
Film Reel smiled and waved at her. "Good to see you again, Page, Still as lovely as ever I see." he greeted, chuckling.
Page blushed and then turned to Melody. The young unicorn smiled shyly and replied, "w-well hello, Miss Flash. I'm Melody L-Light."
"Yes, Camera told me about you, Melody. I'm glad to finally meet my son's coltfriend, and I'm glad to see he picked himself a good one." she said jokingly.
"MOM!" Camera rebutted, rolling his eyes.
Page giggled and replied, "oh, hush. I'm just saying, Dear."
She led the three of them inside and yelled, "Projector! Photo Memory! We got visitors."
Two new ponies joined them; one was a yellow earth pony with chocolate brown eyes and a trimmed black beard, the other was a small white earth pony filly.
Projector smiled as he saw who was there.
"Camera! Welcome home, my son!" he said, hugging him tightly.
"Hey Dad. How are you doing?" Camera asked.
"Oh, I'm doing good. Royal Society meetings aren't the most exciting things to do to be honest." Projector replied, chuckling.
"Hiya Big Bro! Welcome home!" the small filly said running up to Camera.
He smiled and hugged his little sister.
"Hey Photo. How are you?" Camera asked her.
She smiled and said that it was good. It was then that Projector had shaken hooves with Melody and had finally turned to see who the third pony was. Upon seeing who that was, Projector found himself shocked. Standing before him was Film Reel, a stallion he hadn't seen in years.
"Film, you're here?!" Projector asked.
Film nodded and smiled before replying, "yup. It's been a long time, Old Friend."
"Yeah, it has. Last time I saw you was back in, what, 2017?" Projector said.
Nodding, Film smiled and the two gave each other a hug.
"Aww, I t-think we ju-just reunited a old friendship." Melody said, smiling at the two.
