The Twelve Nights of Hearth's Warming

by Jade Ring

The Fifth Night

My dearest, most wonderful, amazing Spikey-Wikey!

How in Equestria did you ever afford such beautiful golden rings? And five of them... truth be told I'm not sure what to do with the fifth.

Oh! I'll pass it along to Sweetie Belle. It will help her get over the loss of poor little Tweety. Yes, it appears my darling Opal made a meal of the little partridge. She coughed up a familiar feather last night... right in front of Sweetie Belle. My innocent baby sister has now declared vengeance against my cat in the name of a bird.

What a strange Hearth's Warming...

Opal seems to not care, and what's more seems to be paying more attention to Chirp and Dale. I must keep an eye on her.

In any case, while I love these rings, I must insist that you give me no more gifts this year. You've done more than enough.

Yours still,

Rarity
