Chapter 53: Hearth Warming Eve
CHAPTER 53
I woke up, groggy from the "Events" of last night. I rolled out of bed, and got dressed. It was Hearth Warming Eve, and there was some serious stuff going on that day.
"Hmmm... Morning, Kyle."
"Morning, Dashie. Ready for our big date today?"
"Yeah..."
"Great... What time is it, anyways?" I looked out the window, and up at the sun. It was in the center of the sky.
"It's about noon... Alright, Dashie. I have some things to do before anything goes on tonight. You just stay here and... Recover."
She didn't even answer, but smiled and rolled back over and fell asleep.
"Alrighty, I have to help Zeph get the restaurant set up, I have to check with Pinkie to see if she has tomorrow's party set up, and I gotta get the date ready..."
As I said before, my plate is full, eh?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked into the restaurant, which was all the way in Canterlot. There, I saw Zeph prepping everything.
"Hey, dude."
"Oh, hey Kyle."
"It looks like you're almost done here."
"Yeah. I know I asked you for help, but I sorta jumped the gun a little..."
"Nah, it's OK... Hey, where's Octavia and her band?"
"You see, that's what I need your help with. I can't find her."
"Do what now?"
"Yeah, she's gone. I dunno where to look."
"Well, I have an idea."
"Which is?"
"Let's look at her marefriend's house."
"Marefriend?"
"Yeah. Octavia and Vinyl."
"Huh. Odd couple."
"No kidding. Let's go. Onwards and upwards, Allons-y!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me and Zeph arrived at Vinyl's house, which was pretty low-key, considering the fact that she is famous. We knocked a few times, but nopony answered.
"Alright... Let's do this my way." I pulled out a bobby pin, and the screwdriver.
"Kyle... What are you doing?"
"Finding my own way in."
"But that's-"
"Illegal, I know. But oh so fun. Besides, Vinyl wouldn't turn me in."
"Sometimes, I worry about you, Kyle."
Click.
I pushed open the door, and was immediately greeted with an angry Vinyl's face.
"What're you doing here, kid? I didn't answer because I don't want anypony bothering me. I'm going through a rough patch with Octavia right now..."
"Well, that would explain why she wasn't there for Zeph, then."
"Yeah. If you wanna talk to her, she's upstairs."
I nodded, and we walked up the stairs. I heard a faint sobbing from a nearby room, and when we went inside, surely enough, Octavia was there, bawling.
"Oh jeez... Hey, Octavia, are you alright?" I approached her.
"N-No... V-Vinyl doesn't r-respect me a-at all..."
"And what makes you say that?"
"She j-just c-constantly p-p-plays that loud, OBNOXIOUS music, a-and I can't g-get any p-peace and quiet..."
"Well, have you tried talking to her about it?"
"N-No... I-I just assumed she w-would undersand..."
"Well, you should talk to her about it! It's what couples are supposed to do, TALK. Just ask her to do it when you aren't home or something."
Octavia wiped the tears out of her eyes, and nodded. She got up, and went downstairs. I heard some chatter, and then she came back up.
"It worked! Thank you..."
"No problem... Now, about Zeph's dinner..."
"I'll be there as soon as I can."
I smiled, and we left.
"Dude... How do you do it?" Zeph hadn't said anything until we had left.
"I dunno, I just have that ability to fix problems. And of course, nopony should be fighting on Hearth Warming Eve!"
"Well, thanks for the help man, I appreciate it."
"No problem. I gotta go, there are some things I have to take care of. I'll catch you later."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, I went to check on the Hearth Warming Day party me and Pinkie were planning.
"Oi! Pinkie! I'm here!" I shouted as I walked into the bakery. The place was decorated in any free space on the wall or in the air. Balloons, streamers, banners, lights... And even a Chr- Hearth Warming tree.
"Ohhh! I bet you love it! Isn't it super-duper? I put a lot of work into it! ImeanIhadtogooverthereandhangthatandthenrunove-"
"I get it... Calm down, Pinkie. So, is there anything else you need?"
"Well... I could use some help with the cooking! I still have to bake snacks for everypony!"
"Sure. I guess I could help with that."
We walked back into the kitchen, and there were ingredients everywhere.
"So, what's on the agenda for today?"
"CUPCAKES!"
I remembered when I thought Pinkie had cooked all of our friends into cupcakes.
"Ah... Well, what do we need to do? I never baked cupcakes at home..."
"It's easy!"
"Well... Do you wanna explain?"
Then, Pinkie broke out into song.
"All you have to do is take a cup of flour, add it to the mix!
Now just take a little something sweet not sour,
a bit of salt, just a pinch!
Baking these treats is such a cinch,
add a teaspoon of vanilla!
Add a little more and you count to four,
and you never get your FILLA!
Cupcakes!
So sweet and tasty!
Cupcakes!
Don't be so hasty!
Cupcakes!
Cupcakes cupcakes CUPCAKES!"
I just stared at her.
"Ummm... That was... Interesting... I mean..." I shook my head, knowing I should NEVER try to understand ANYTHING Pinkie does. "Lets just get baking."
"Okie-Dokie-Lokie!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After an hour, we finally had enough cupcakes finished to feed the entire pony population for months.
"That was... I mean the thing you did with the oven... The flames... And then..." I was staring at Pinkie, who had done SOMETHING to make most of the batches of cupcakes be done in minutes.
"It's my secret!"
"Ah..."
"Promise you won't tell anyone?"
"I swear."
"Pinkie Pie swear?"
I groaned. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." I smacked myself in the eye. "OW."
Pinkie giggled. "OK! You can go now! It's a good thing we got done so quickly, the people reading this now wouldn't want to read about us baking for forever!"
"People reading... What? Oh whatever. Seeya Pinkie!"
"Bye-Bye!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had brought along a few snacks with me to the top of the hill in Sweet Apple Acres, where Dashie told me to go, waiting for her. When I saw her approach, I smiled.
"Hey there. So, what's the plan?"
"Well. You get to sit here, while I do some of my famous stunts! I wanted to show you my best performance. It'll be, 'Dashing.'" Dashie grinned at her pun.
"Huh. Alright then. I'll hang back and let you do your stuff."
Dashie flew around, doing amazing stunts. She did some of her regular stunts, but there were some I had never seen before. She was rolling, spinning, and diving. I sat, stunned.
"I can't believe she's doing all of this, just for me." I felt privileged.
This went on for a good twenty minutes. Then, Dashie landed on a cloud, and floated down next to me. She pulled me on, and away we went.
"Where're we going?" I was hanging onto my hat, and my jacket was fluttering in the wind.
"You'll see."
We stopped at the top of a mountain. Dashie pointed to the sky, and I looked up. A large ribbon-like light stretched through the sky, and the stars gleamed as though they were formed yesterday.
"It's an aurora..."
"Yeah. Twilight told me it would show up tonight, and I know how you love this kind of stuff..."
"It's... I mean I... Thanks, Dashie..." I pulled her in close for a hug. I had heard of auroras when I was on Earth, but I had never seen one.
"No problem, Kyle."
In the silence of the night, the moment seemed perfect. And apparently, we had the same intentions...
We embraced in the moonlit night, the aurora shining bright above us.
It was my first Hearth Warming Eve, and my best.

Joyeux Noel!
Ahh, Aurora Borealis, it's caused by the magnetic field and the solar wind (the ions of the solar wind are colliding with the magnetic field and makes the atmosphere 'glow')
Beautiful!
Daaaaw.

85813 the average flight speed of an unladen swallow is 4
85857
That is incorrect!
The correct answer is: 24 mph.
85857 Of course not. Doesn't everyone knows it's 24 miles an hour! Forgive me for being a nerd, by the way.
85870
Forgive you? My good sir, I must applaud you!
85813 African or European?
85892

Ow, tha was kinda stupid of me......I quoted the Pinkie Pie Promise along with Kyle.... then I smacked my hand into the bill of my new hat.....Yeesh, Only I could hurt myself with a hat.
....Here's my attempt at humor....*Looks out my bedroom door, see's my mom at the sink washing something* (Deep Breath)

85870 4, not in Mph, nor Km/hr, just 4
spelling error: we knocked a ew times but nopony answered. you misspelled few. glad I could point that out
o_o :D You silly author. Quit poking at the fourth wall. With Pinkie around, it's fragile enough and you'll break it :3
85989 Author? Don't be silly! This good man is simply recounting the story of his life! What ever gave you the idea?
*News Report Comes On*
Lately with great thanks to Pinkie Pie. The fourth wall has had over 9000 breaches in it all over. Since there are no construction supplies in the digital unvierse they had to use duct tape. Well it has happened so much lately some people may believe that the fourth wall is now almost entirely made of duct tape.
*News Report Switches Off*
D'AWWWWWWWW
MOOOOOAAAAAAR
LOOOOOVE IIIIIIIIIIIIT
I have too many mood swings...
86122
"news reports on"
In other news there's also a belief that the fifth wall has been a litle poked by pinkie pie and discord
It's very rare to find it be it's there somewhere out there
"reports news off"
Great story is great
Your story is AWESOME!

*News Report Flashes On*
Some weird weather changes have been occuring lately along with some breaches in the ever weakening fourth wall. Apparently there have been clouds made of cotton candy that rain chocolate milk, but some pink blur is barely seen shooting among them using all of the chocolate milk before it hits the ground. It is a suspected "Pinkie" case.
*News Report Flickers Off*
This is a serious comment
What is the fifth wall anyways?
86675 the fifth wall is the wall behind the fourth wall
This chapter's song was pretty easy:
It's I'm Yours by Jason Mraz
85813
Huh, you have seen too much Monty Python.
The answer was a question: Which one? African or European? - but because it wasn't the right answer, the guard of the bridge was killed...
Sooo, we don't know.
Later we will hear something about it, but the question is never going to be answered.
:P
Excuse me Mr. Kyle, but since i know now that you are THE DJ 1NS4N1TY, could i possibly get your autograph. Also if you dont think its too much to ask, could i get autograph from Mrs.Rainbow too?
Wait, Pinkie stills knows about us? And she knows we are reading!? HOLY SH- *Please stand by*
87045
Well, DUH, it's obvios, she almost broke the fifth wall once, so, what is the fourth for her?
Heh, I totally expect her to jump out from my monitor now...
The fourth wall is between the story and the real world, the fifth wall is the interaction of the story with the real world ( I think)
86675
Now imagine reading somthing online in which pinkie pie is talking about you reading what she's talking about, and out of no where her face pop out of you 3D phone screaming "I BROKE THE FOURTH WALL"
Why am I such a fan of sci fi/ alternate universe/ crossover/ HIE fics
87276
Because they are awesome (some of them)
Why is kyle a nimphomaniack with dashe imean like 5 nights in a row buddah thats alot
87928
No... This is only the second time "It" happened. We sleep in the same bed... I mean, we are a couple, and we live together.
87947 Excuse me, but could i even get a answer from you?

85826
Eeeeexactly.
Nice fourth wall breaking there, bub
