Thanks to their new friendship, Cozy Glow and Tirek have both escaped from Tartarus and have managed to get one step ahead of everypony!

Chrysalis, Aita and Cozy Glow are having reunions with some of their old friends and family to celebrate Hearth's Warming. And while everyone else is happy to see and get to know each other, pet fox Lorien is quite unreceptive toward one of the guests as preparations for the reunion dinner are made.

Cozy Glow is visiting Aita for winter vacation, but gets a pleasant surprise when she gets invited along with Aita's other friends to join Twilight and her friends and family in the Sibling Supreme, a competition whose goal is to weave through a flurry of obstacles in Canterlot Castle to obtain the titular crown to be.

Thanks to Starlight Glimmer's necromancy, Gertie the Dinosaur walks Equestria for the first time in over 150 million years.

Mistakes are made. Many, many mistakes are made. An outrageous comedy in the old-school toon style.

For the Who Crossed Over My Little Pony? contest.

Gertie's film can be viewed in full on Wikipedia, along with the surviving footage from the never-finished sequel. This story draws on both for inspiration.

This fic earns it's 'Random' tag. -AlwaysDressesInStyle

Excellent. -C. Montgomery Burns

Get help, Doc. -Bugs Bunny

Hi new friends! -Izzy Moonbow

This was the stupidest thing I'd ever read. Then I read your back catalog. Hahahahaha This is still in the top 5. -Woody Woodpecker

I hate this story so much I'm going to downvote Estee's entire back catalog. Again. -Judge Doom

Celestia had truly believed she was right in her decision. Too bad belief in being right did not actually make you right.

Author's Note: Before you read this, please be aware that this story runs on the basis that the world reacts in a wildly over-exaggerated way to the idea of Cozy Glow being imprisoned in Tartarus. This is a parody just as much as it is a vent-fic.

This story is a sequel to Fast and Cozy in Towers and Bishops

Fast got on a new adventure where Fast Tap has to make a decision on with who be the holidays, but he will not have to do it alone, he will get the help of his imaginary friend, Kevight, and with him, will get an adventure to decide finally

Cozy Glow adopts a kitten. Grogar may not necessarily approve of this.
