A Pony Christmas Carol

Chapter 7: God Bless Us! Everyone!

Starlight opened her eyes to see she was still in her bed. She looked around and felt her face "I'm still here! I'm alive!" she smiled as she got up and began dancing with joy, feeling as lively as ever, before opening the window and looking around, spotting a young white colt with brown sploches all over his coat and a darker brown mane and tail "You there!"

"Who? Me?"

"Yes of course! My dear colt! What day is it!?"

"Today? Why it's Christmas Day!"

"Christmas Day!? Splendid! I haven't missed it! The spirits did it all in one night! Of course they did! They can do whatever they want! Do you you know the turkey hanging up in the marketplace?"

"The one as big as me!?"

"That's the one! Could you do me a favor and run down to the market and fetch it for me? Here!" she tossed down a few bits for the turkey "and take this for your troubles!" she said tossing down more bits. The colt's face lit up and he rushed, with the money, to the marketplace. Starlight got dressed and headed downstairs and outside as she ran into the two mares from earlier as the pegasus cowered behind the unicorn "oh hello. So glad I ran into you! Listen I'm terribly sorry for what I said yesterday. Go ahead and put me down for-" she whispered an amount into the unicorn's ear as her face lit up, whispering the same to the pegasus' ears

"That much!?" the pegasus asked in disbelief

"And not a bit less. Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Ms. Scrooge!" she nodded as they walked off and the colt from earlier returned with the turkey as Scrooge took it

"Thank you so very much my dear colt! A merry Christmas to you!"

"And a Merry Christmas to you Ms. Scrooge!" she then went to a stallion

"I need you to take this turkey to Twi Cratchett's house" she said giving him some bits

"Well I'm not sure I can carry it all the way there."

Starlight laughed jollily "you...you can't carry it all the way there?" she laughed more "then take a cab, silly!" she gave him more bits

The stallion nodded and hailed a cab. Starlight began walking around, a big warm smile on her face. She trotted to Jackie's house as she knocked on the door. Jackie smiled as she answered

"I'd...be delighted to share a Christmas dinner with you and your family, Jackie...that is...if you'll have me..."

"Of course! Come on in!" Starlight smiles and joins in. After dinner and a few fun activities, she politely dismissed herself and headed to Twi's house with giddy in her step as she approached but as she got closer her face turned back to that of her old self as she knocked on the door. Twi answered

"Ms...Starlight?..."

"Mrs. Cratchett..." she said coldly "I didn't see you at work this morning..."

"Well yeah...you...said I could take the day off..."

"Is that so?...well that's no excuse for such insubordination!..."

"But-"

"Now listen here!" Rainbob said angrily

"I simply cannot allow this to continue Mrs. Cratchett! And THEREFORE! I'M AFRAID I HAVE NO CHOICE-" she paused and simply couldn't keep up the act as she began chuckling "No choice...but to give you a raise!"

"But ma'am, I-...wait...what!?"

"AND I'd like to make you my new partner!"

"Ma'am...I...I just don't know what to say..."

"Then just say...Merry Christmas...Twi..."

Twi just smiles "Merry Christmas, Starlight..."

Starlight was better than her word. She made Twi her new apprentice, kept the spirit of Christmas alive all year in her heart, and even got closer to her niece. And to Tiny Scoot? Well, with Starlight's help, the filly lived on and got the surgery she needed to recover. Starlight had practically become like a second mother to the dear filly. So as this story comes to a close, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. And God bless us. Everyone!
