Ch1: Christmas Eve (v1.1.2)

The year had been long and hard for the lavender mare but it was the best year Twilight ever had in her entire life! She had managed to find many good friends and she had saved all of Equestria from sudden doom, from both the hoofs of Nightmare Moon and the claws of Discord.

Now the year would soon be over as Xmas approached and soon after the new year would come, she wished that the next year would be just as if not even greater than this year had already been and it wasn’t even over yet!

It was winter now and everypony had been invited to the celestial sisters’ grand Christmas Eve party at their mighty sky castle. Twilight and all of her friends had received personal invitations from the solar princess Celestia herself.

Twilight was bouncing happily around in her tree library, she was really looking forward to see her mentor again. It had been months since they had last seen each other, but she was also very eager to meet Luna once more, since their last meeting at ‘Nightmare Night’ she wondered how the night goddess had been doing, learning how to fit in after her millennium long exile and cope with a modern Equestria. The lavender mare really hoped that her lessions of friendship had made a bit of an impact on Luna’s life and would aid her in her growth to become the moon goddess she was always meant to be by her sister’s side.

Twilight Sparkle looked at the clock noticing the time, she would soon have to take her leave for Rarity’s house, where she and her friends were supposed to meet and pick up their dresses before they would get a ride by a royal chariot set by the solar princess.

She decided to leave her home a little earlier than she needed, so she could enjoy a slow walk through Ponyville and enjoy the wintry scenery. She took on her red scarf and boots before she called for Spike to get him out of bed. It took a little while before she heard him dump onto the floor and making his way to the wooden door to their combined sleeping quarter.

“Isn’t this a little early?” He asked her while rubbing his eyes, remembering the time when Twilight wanted to help with the ‘winter wrap up’ where she had gotten out of bed and ran outside in the middle of the night hours before anypony else was even awake.

“Oh, I just wanted to take a small trip around ponyville, to kill time and enjoy the new snow!” Twilight cheerfully replied to her sheepish assistant.

Spike didn’t say anything as Twilight levitated him onto her back. She then walked outside and closed the door behind her. It was snowing outside, ever so softly a snowflake landed on Twilight’s nose, she giggled softly as the flake tickled her nose. Twilight set her course towards Rarity’s house, while enjoying December’s first snow falling down around her.

Twilight Sparkle thought back to this year’s ‘winter wrap up’ where she had been completely lost at first and felt really sad and lonely because she didn’t feel like she was fitting in with the villagers of Ponyville, at least not until she found her place as the organizer and had received the title of ‘all team organizer’. She was already looking forward to organize it all once more in the new year.

After a short and lovely trip; she and Spike now found themselves in front of Rarity’s home, it sounded as if quite a commotion was taking place inside. Twilight and Spike shared a short glance at each other, Spike just lifted his shoulders indicating that he too had no idea what was going on inside. So Twilight decided to open the door and walk inside.

All of her closest friends were there; Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and of course Spike who now slid off her back, probably heading towards Rarity to drool all over her. She looked at her friends who seemed to be locked in a hearty discussion which seemed to have created the commotion one could hear from the outward the house. Twilight Sparkle just smiled at her sometimes silly friends as she walked over to join them, being the curious little mare that she is.

No one seemed to notice either her or Spike, even though she stood right next Applejack now. Celestia’s prized student just stood there for a moment thinking her friends would probably notice her, but after several minutes and nothing happening she grew restless and spoke up, making herself noticed. “Hi girls, whatcha doin’?” She asked, she hadn’t really been listening to whatever they were discussing with one another. She thought they would have noticed her right away, anyways.

Pinkie Pie looked at her quickly before she replied. “Hi Twilight.” She merely said as she looked back to the other mares talking. A few seconds passed before she looked back at Twilight again. “Hi Twilight!” She said like she had just noticed her for the very first time that day. “It’s good to see you! Aren’t you excited? I’ll never forget the Grand Galloping Gala where you acted like such a silly filly.” She said, probably more to herself than to Twilight.

Now Twilight was greeted by everypony, finally her presence to be known. “So what are we talking about?” She asked.

“Apparently Rarity couldn’t decide what kind of dresses to make us, so instead she made several dresses for each of us, but all of the different kinda dresses she made are made in series to match with each oth-” Applejack tried to explain as Rainbow Dash cut her short.

“Yeah! But I don’t like that red Xmasy stuff!” Dash said with a huff.

“You see?” Applejack told Twilight as she rolled her eyes at her mare friend.

“I don’t get it.” Twilight told them confused. “Then why doesn’t Rainbow Dash just use the one that isn’t all jolly red?” She asked.

“That’s just the thing!” Rarity informed her. “If one goes with the red then we all go with the red! Or else we won’t fit as a group! Helloo-oooo! It’s seasonal clothing?!” She told them all dramatically.

“Yep, Dash’s just being difficult… again.” Applejack added earning herself a glace from the rainbow pegasus.

Twilight thought for a moment before she came with her alternative. “Well since it is the Christmas spirit and we have been invited to a Christmas Eve party, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to follow the season’s style?” She asked her pegasus friend.

“Shush Twilight!” Rainbow Dash demanded. “Don’t fill their small pony heads with such logic nonsense.”

“I’ll go with the egghead on this one.” Applejack agreed with Twilight, earning narrow eyes from her. For some reason Applejack was always after poor Dashie and even if it was true or not Twilight didn’t like too much to be called an egghead.

“Fine, jeez!” Rainbow Dash replied with her best impression at Solid Serpent. After she had put on her dress she went for the closest mirror she could find, taking a closer look at herself. “So much red is definitely so not my thing…” Dash muttered.

“Stop being such a silly filly, that’s my job! Beside you look just oki doky loki! Almost like a Christmas sugarcane!” Pinkie Pie told her friend happily.

“I hope that we won’t make such a mess as we did the last time.” Applejack wryly added to the conversation. Twilight looked hurtful and shallow at this, but Pinkie Pie was fast to the rescue.

“Aw, don’t look so gloomy Twilight, Celestia said it was fun!” Pinkie Pie encouraged her nerdy friend but before Twilight could answer an abrupt knock was heard at the outer door.

“Oh, that’s probably Celestia’s sent carriage!” Twilight Sparkle exclaimed with a glee as she rushed towards the door but just as she had opened the door she was caught with surprise. Outside stood two dark figures, both tall and malice looking, they were both covered in dark purple armor and with batwings. They glanced down at Twilight with their wicked yellow eyes, earning a small gulp from the lavender mare. These ponies aren’t Celestia’s guards Twilight thought for herself, but before she could ask them one of them spoke up.

“We’re here to escort the bearers of the elements and their dragon associate to the celestial Xmas party.” One of Luna’s personal guards told Twilight. “So if you would all be so kind and come with us, so we may complete our task.” He then added with a small bow and a hoof pointing towards their chariot.

“How come Celestia’s guards didn’t come to pick us up?” Twilight asked the two intimidating stallions. The batpony didn’t answer, he just looked towards the other stallion as if he sought guidance from the other as to answer her question or not.

“We were out on an errand and were told to bring you with us on our return to the royal castle.” The other nightmarish batpony told her simply, not explaining anything further.

Twilight not wanting to push her luck simply turned around and called for the others, telling them that their escort had come a little early and that it was time to leave for the party.

The other mares walked cautious past the two tall stallions, as they left Rarity’s house. Not saying a word as they passed the two of them, well besides a sudden pegasus, which was quite unexpected.

“Hello sirs.” Flutteryshy gently greeted the two scary looking ponies as she walked pass them, giving them a polite nod. She could swear she almost got a smile in return from the two of them.

Now they were all sitting comfortably but maybe a bit too tight in Luna’s royal chariot, not really being designed to hold so many ponies at once. All of them now looking forward, staring at the well-shaped buttocks of the first batpony ‘the benefit of being a princess’ one might assume. They all blushed a little at the sight, probably seeing more than one should.

“They sure stay in shape.” Rarity thoughtlessly said out loud earning them all a death glace from the batpony just in front of them, who’s behind most of them were all drooling over. In her dumbfoundedness Rarity couldn’t help but to simply wave a hoof to him while trying to give him an honest harmless smile, at which he just turned around again. Luna’s guards sure weren’t like Celestia’s, they would not even have flinched, but these batponies take hay from nopony.

Soon they found themselves flying through the darkening sky over the clouds. It was a sight to behold, Celestia’s sun could clearly be seen making its descent behind the cover of Equestria, slowly making room for the night with the moon and the astonishing constellations.

By the time they could see the majestic tall towers of the celestial castle. The sun had disappeared and thus the moon was slowly ascending, so far only showing half of itself. As they finally landed on the ground and arrived at the royal castle, Twilight’s little pony heart was burning with excitement. She and her friends thanked Luna’s two guards before they quickly made their way through the royal gardens to the entrance of the castle itself.

At the sight of the castle Rarity froze at the spot, remembering her encounter with the noble self-obsessed jerk prince Blueblood, surely he would also attend this party, which made her shivering for a moment. She shaked her head, clearing it of those unpleasant thoughts of the jackass and hurried up to her friends who had gotten ahead of her.

There were a lot of ponies all over the place, the gardens seemed almost filled with every kind of pony from every kind of the social ladder, royals as well as commoners. There were a lot of pretty decorated Christmas trees around as well, all with fine glowing stars at the top. Twilight noticed that they were made of magic which must have been why they had that extra glow to them.

They all made it inside the castle before they decided to split up for a moment to greet some of the other ponies they knew before they would get back together and enjoy Christmas Eve in the company of those they cherished the most.

Twilight of course went for the big hall where she knew Celestia would be greeting her many guests, and true enough there she was, at the top of the tall staircase overlooking the entire hall, greeting a long line of all kind of pony folk. Twilight thought for a bit, the right thing to do would probably get into the line and wait to get her turn, but that would take forever! Then suddenly she heard Celestia’s voice calling for her to join her. Twilight was a little unsure how to feel about this, she was clearly abusing her bond with Celestia, it’s not like she was more important than any of the others that sought her company, but right now she put those thought aside as she jumped up the mighty stairs getting many unpleasant glances by the many ponies she skipped past.

“Hello Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student.” Her mentor said softly as Twilight reached her, the two of them then shared a deep embrace, earning Twilight even further dislike from the nearby crowd.

“I’ve missed you Celestia.” Twilight told the solar princess as she nuzzled her, until she suddenly thought of something of equal impermanence. “Where is Luna?” She asked.

Celestia looked up breaking the contact as she looked over the halls. “Oh, she’s around… somewhere… mingling in the crowd, which is kind of odd knowing she isn’t very... you know, social.” The princess told her star student with a smile and a thoughtful expression. Maybe she was out there planning to pull a prank on somepony, Celestia thought for herself.

“I guess I’ll go find her then, I don’t want to take all of your time when so many else want to have a word with you.” Twilight said honestly but also with a sudden hint of regret.

“Sorry Twilight, I’ll see if I can make better time for you sometime so we can… what you call it these days ‘hang-out’?” She asked with a bit of a frown.

Twilight giggled at this. “Yes of course your highness! I’ll see you later!” She replied with glee, before she jumped down the stairs, now in search of the moon goddess. Twilight wandered around in the great hall where most of the visitors were in search of Luna, until Celestia’s prized student suddenly walked into somepony else, much to her surprise it was nopony else than Luna herself.

”Oh, hello there princess, I didn’t se-” Was all she got to say before the lunar princess planted a pair of soft lips on her mouth; cutting her speech a little short. At first the lavender mare was surprised and quite frankly also physically stunned by the unsuspected and sudden intimate forwardness shown by one of the celestial sisters, but she soon found herself lost in the affection she was given. They both closed their eyes at the contact and as if on reaction they both drifting off into the moment humming slightly.

If the kissing had just ended there it probably wouldn’t have created such a commotion and the few ponies that actually noticed would probably just think it was pretty cute and then move on. But what happened from there on; was a completely different story. The initial kiss was short and soft but as the two departed from their little blissful event they would soon find themselves gazing deeply into each other’s eyes. Luna was very proud of herself, she had managed to catch Twilight under her mistletoe dangling from the tip of her horn and did the traditional gesture, she had been waiting patiently ever since she saw Twilight leaving Celestia’s side for the right moment to strike.

Luna wanted to say her Christmas greeting, but no words came from her. What was supposed to be an innocent and traditionally little meaningless kiss; had suddenly turned into something else, something Luna couldn’t quite put her hoofs on, but her thoughts dangled behind her as she lost herself into those magical purple eyes and before she knew of it, she found herself engaged in yet another heart rhythm altering, soul shaking kiss. This time the lunar princess was the one in shock and now it was Twilight, who was the aggressor pressing forward, which resulted in sharing yet another blissful moment.

Luna much to her own surprise let out a soft moan as Twilight had forced the princess of the moon into their second kiss. This wasn’t according to traditions Luna pondered for a moment. Shouldn’t it be only a single kiss when one was caught under a mistletoe? But in truth she didn’t really feel like complaining as she let herself slide into the lovely feeling. Enjoying the tremendous gesture delightedly! Probably a lot more than she was supposed to, but right now nothing else mattered to Luna - this was simply too good for her not to enjoy! No matter what others might think of it, but such trivial thoughts as the concern of others were pushed aside as she lost herself into the moment.

They both simultaneously lifted their right hind leg from the white marble floor that covered most of the castle as they continued their transgression. Luna had grown bolder and soon found her tongue asking Twilight for permission to entrance, which she seemed more than happy to allow. Twilight’s mouth parted slightly without their lips breaking contact, just barely making enough space for Luna to enter her mouth, but she in turn found herself enter Luna’s mouth like it was the common thing to do, which it probably also was.

The two of them were wobbling a little bit back and forth as their tongues fought each other for dominance, unseen by the ever growing stares of the other guests at the grand Christmas party, all while the two of them were moaning and purring lowly.

As their mouths parted for the second time that evening a thick string of drool was hanging between them and as they once again opened their eyes and once again found themselves starting at each other’s eyes, now sharing a shy smile and a visible blush on both of them.

“My bedchambers, now.” Luna told Celestia’s faithful student teasing- and suggestively.

“After you, your highness.” Twilight said with a low bow and a giggle.

And with that Luna warped one of her wings around the lavender unicorn before the two of them left the great hall and the many stunned ponies including the solar princess whose jaw was now located on the floor, behind. All the time unknown to Twilight that Luna had the prettiest little mistletoe that she herself had spent all of Christmas’s morning to find in the forest just for her little saviour; Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight couldn’t help but smile brightly while she thought that her wish had been fulfilled, the next year would be even greater than this one, she just knew it!

Also she didn’t get to see her friends for the rest of the day, but that was okay. They had all walked in and seen the same as pretty much everypony else had.
