I'm older than your average brony, but then I've always enjoyed cartoons. I'm an experienced reviewer, EqD pre-reader, and occasional author.

The assignment Miss Cheerilee gave the class should have been simple. But it got Sweetie Belle thinking about her Hearth’s Warming present for Rarity.

It’s complicated. Maybe Twilight can help.

Nobody did. Cheerilee had made that assignment several weeks before. Sweetie Belle just wasn't satisfied with it to turn it in until then, and it wasn't even required.

Oh, this story is wonderful!! I love your characterization of Sweetie Belle, and the dynamic between her and Twilight is fantastic. The way Twilight knew exactly what Sweetie Belle needed and gently encouraged her to figure it out was great. I also loved the way the poem was presented.

I will happily admit that my eyes weren't dry when I reached the end. Well done, and thank you. :twilightsmile:

That last line... oh my heart! :raritycry: :pinkiesad2:

This was great. Very heartwarming story telling. Loved it.

I struggle to write this through teary eyes, but I have to say this is was truly beautiful. Twilight helping Sweetie in the most subtle ways to help her visualize what the words of her poem were trying to convey.

The last line just made my heart swell!

Thank you for such a beautiful story.

I am not the only one who thought of the poetry of Anne-Marie Reiter, am I? It's the alliteration.

10024379 The whole thing was a masterpiece of prose, but I must echo you both; the last line is in a class all of its own.

I'm not familiar with her poetry. I do like to use lots of whimsical things like alliteration and rhyme when writing stories in a children's style, though I've mostly only done that for these jinglemas exchanges. It's been a joy to participate in them, because it's produced some of my favorite stories.

I will have to check out this poet.

Wow this was amazing! The alliteration and rhyming was one thing but just about every word flowed and played off one another. You used techniques I don't even know the words of and made choices I can't even appreciate though I know I will try. The story itself was very sweet but the execution was perfection.

Honestly, at first I had thought that you were doing a subtle homage to that beloved character from the Golden Age of the Internet, but when the poetry never took a "romantic" turn I realized it was just a coincidence that this was a little girl writing alliterative poetry for an adult.

Warning: the poetry of Anne-Marie Reiter may be too romantic for sensitive readers.

This was fluffy and fun! Rarity's line at the end was my favorite.

this was amazing! from the steady progress that Twilight and Sweetie make together, with Twilight understanding what Sweetie needs to do to get the thoughts out of her head and Sweetie (and the reader) following along to the absolute smash hit of an ending. all around an incredible piece of writing in theme alone, not to mention prose or characterization!

:moustache: What am I doing in this box?
:unsuresweetie: Shiish! You'll mess up my homework
:unsuresweetie: Surprise !
:raritystarry: Spike? What home work is this? Hearts Warming?
:twilightsmile: Biology
:unsuresweetie: And I'm getting extra credit!
:pinkiegasp: You'll get extra alright!
:raritywink: Just what I've always wanted, Top billing in a biology report with an intro from Twilight book horse

I am not ashamed to say this one made me cry happy tears most of the way through. And that last line .....perfection.
