Merry Christmas

"Sunset, that was awesome," Rainbow Dash declared. "The way you were covered in purple fire and floated in the air and blasted all those pony ghosts!"

"Actually, those were Windigoes," Sunset Shimmer said.

"Windigoes," Applejack asked. "You mean..."

"I'm afraid so," Sunset Shimmer said. "I didn't mean to bring them here, but they were drawn by my torment last night. The only way I was able to defeat them was if I was willing to change my ways and embrace the spirit of Christmas. It looks like when I was willing to share it with you, I was able to produce the fire of friendship and blow them away."

"HA," Pinkie Pie laughed. "Because those were wind monsters! That was funny!"

"Pinkie, don't," Rarity sighed. She then looked at Sunset and grew a happy face. "Well, it's great to know that you'll be happy to celebrate Christmas."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Sunset Shimmer interrupted. "What gave you that idea? I don't want to celebrate Christmas."

"What," the friends asked.

"But we went through all that trouble just to..." Fluttershy said before they heard a chuckle.

Sunset Shimmer tried to keep a straight face, but she just couldn't. She laughed loudly. "Sorry. What I mean is, I don't want to celebrate Christmas... without my friends."

Everyone just laughed and embraced their friend at the same time as she embraces them.

Watching the whole thing, Discord and Princess Celestia looked through the mirror portal and smiled.

"You did a good job, Discord," Princess Celestia said.

"All in a good day's work," Discord said. "Of course, you chose me because I had influential skills, but she had to change herself. That was all her."

"Well, Discord, I hope this holiday has been memorable for you," Princess Celestia said. "By the way, Princess Twilight and her friends have cordially invited you to their castle to open the presents. Will you bring yours?"

"Indeed, I will," Discord said. He held up a box with wrapping paper. "I hope they'll appreciate that Discord lamp I made."

"Well, I guess some things never change," Princess Celestia said rolling her eyes with a smirk.

"Hey, I'm capable of giving thoughtful gifts," Discord said. "I just sent a special package to Sunset Shimmer."

"And what might that be," Princess Celestia asked.

"Something she's always wanted," Discord said. "Oh, and one more thing." He turned to the readers. "Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good spite."

Princess Celestia turned her head toward where Discord was facing. "Why are you talking to the wall?"

Meanwhile, in the human world, some of the students were inside Sunset Shimmer's living room and repaired it.

"Flash Sentry?"

The guitarist looked behind him and saw Sunset Shimmer standing beside him.

"Sunset," Flash Sentry said. "I saw what you did out there."

"You and the rest of the school," Sunset Shimmer said. "Look, Flash, I'm sorry I've been a jerk the night we broke up. I realize how horrible I must have been."

"It's all right," Flash Sentry said. "You know, since you've completely changed, I think now's a good time to renew my offer to just be friends. Would you like that?"

"I wouldn't ask for anything more," Sunset Shimmer said. "Just friends."

"Hey, Sunset," Pinkie Pie shouted. "We've got something for you!"

Sunset Shimmer approached her friends by the repaired Christmas tree and was handed a red present with green wrapping.

"What is this," Sunset Shimmer said.

"We all pitched in just to give you this," Rarity said. "Open it."

Sunset Shimmer removed the wrapping paper. She removed the lid and pulled something up. As soon as Sunset Shimmer saw it, she smiled. It was a picture frame with a photo inside. It had her right beside everyone in the student body. Sunset Shimmer shed a tear when she saw how happy everyone is in it.

"Did we overdo it," Fluttershy asked.

"No, you didn't," Sunset Shimmer said with a tear. "Actually, it's just right."

"Sunset Shimmer," a male voice said. Everyone looked and saw a large man at the doorway. He had a winter coat and a snow hat.

"Do I know you," Sunset Shimmer asked.

"I know you don't recognize me," the man said. "It has been many years. I just came by to tell you... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I took you for granted and I didn't appreciate like you wanted me to. I'm sorry."

At first, Sunset Shimmer was confused, but when she started thinking, she widened her eyes and began to tear up.

"I... I forgive you," Sunset Shimmer said with a heavy breath. "How did you get here?"

"Let's just say we've both had a visitor last night," the man said. "Well, I'll just be off and..."

"Hold on," Sunset Shimmer protested. "This all started because we never spent the holidays together. You might as well stay the morning. I'll introduce you to all my friends."

"Uh, how about you introduce us to him," Rainbow Dash said. "Who is this guy?"

"Everyone," Sunset Shimmer said, "I'd like you to meet my dad, Good Will. So what do you say, dad?"

"Is that what you want, darling," Good Will asked.

"Dad," Sunset Shimmer said holding onto her father's hand, "I wouldn't have it any other way.

"See, what I love most about Christmas

Is the part where we care for our friends

When we come hand in hand

In our Winter Wonderland"

"Making sure the fun never ends," everyone sang,

CHRISTMAS HAS BEGUN

SO TURN YOUR BACK ON THE FALL

DESPITE ALL THE FROSTBITE

COME CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT

WE'LL ALL BE READY TO DECK THE HALLS

SO MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO OOOOOOOOOONE...

AND TO AAAAAAAAAAALL

THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER"

After that, wouldn't you know it, Sunset Shimmer never had a horrible Christmas ever again. She always spent it with her friends and never let them go, no matter what would happen. And to think, it all started with a snowflake.

Author's Note:

And that's it for this story. After New Year's, I will start to work on my next story. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

That way a wonderful story. Let me know when you post the next story. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I meant to say was in the first sentence.

5420013 It's all right. I get that a lot. And since you gave my complete story a good review, I especially wish you a Merry Christmas.

well, it wasn't bad... there were a lot of misstakes, way too many to point out right now, but it's christmas eve...soo... well, happy holidays.

That was a great read!

A realy creativ story.
I liked it. :yay:

"B and A"? What's that mean?

Woow. This was a very nice story. Have a like.:twilightsmile:

I don't like that Celestia (and Discord) effectively forced Sunset to like Christmas. What's wrong with not wanting to celebrate it? Oliver Cromwell had the right idea. I can put up with it, I just don't like it when people try and force it on me.
Also, here's this link that explains a few things about the 25th December.

7647065 They weren't forcing anything on her. They were just warning her of the Windigoes and how much her anger would harm others.

Also, I don't need to read anything Yuletide right now because it's Halloween season.

Ever thought of getting the songs put on Youtube?

9026221
What do you mean by that?

9027354
Find some voice actors who match the characters who are singing, record them and put them on Youtube for Christmas.

9028225
Wish I could, but there are a lot of complications on my end. I know that's a good idea, but I just can't. If anyone else would like to give it a shot as long as they give me the credit I deserve, I've got no problem with that. But I know that I can't do that.

9028458
Well the story is still fun to read, thankyou for making it.

9028987
Do you know anyone I could ask to do that?

9057588
Best suggestion is to ask other fan made authors from youtube. How many have you looked up of fanmade MLP Christmas/ hearthwarming videos? Also put out a post here on Fimfiction and other fanfiction sites your on to ask if any available voice actors or singer who fit the specific voices can help you make the video. You could try PMing EileMonty from youtube, she can do a lot of MLP voices. If you havent seen it yet look up
( EileMonty dark horse ) on youtube.

9057588
Also you could try software that allows your voice to record sounding like the characters, then duplicate for multiple voices and layer them together. You can also check her on Fimfiction, sometimes there are aithors on here who do voice over work for other authors in the character's voice.

9063050
Yeah, I can't do that. I'm not exactly a computer whiz, so I don't know anything about softwares.

9070005
Same here, the extent of my tech knowledge was about 5 years ago, now im so out of date it isn't even funny. Have you tried reaching out to the Fimfiction site with asking if anyone knows how to contact or if they are or know voice actors willing to help? Seriously i can say with certainty that theres at least a few people on here who do know how to do music vids of Fimfiction/Fanfiction in story songs.

9070024
Well, I know this might be annoying, but perhaps you could give me a step by step set of instructions on how to do that. I've only ever uploaded stories and PM'ed with other authors my entire time on this site.

9070667
I actually dont know how to post here, i use a cell phone, so alot of those options dont exist through the mobile page. You could try asking someone that you follow and read their blogs or update notices and ask how they post. I believe it works the same way as posting a story, there should be options on how to post a blog.

9070667

Ok this guy knows how to upload blogs, he should be able to help.

I know. Celebrate or the windgo will come. Not much of a choice. But at least the ending was good.
