When his friend Wispy Nimbus asks for his help Royal Guard Idol Hooves (not a Changeling) happily obliges. He is not exactly sure what a Hearth's Warming Calendar is but, Wispy assures him, it is for a noble cause.
Wispy would never lie to him, now would she? She wouldn't possibly have a secret agenda? An unscrupulous motive or dastardly intention? She would never, knowingly, manipulate her good friend, now would she?
Merry Christmas all! A funny, stupid, vaguely Christmas-themed short story for your consumption!

A little
meanselfish and manipulative on Wispy's part, but funny nonetheless.I agree, that was a little mean but oh well. Still a funny and quick read!
Oh please, she at least could've made good on the promise of the proceeds going to charity--by which I mean an actual charity, not just the Charity for Wispy's Bank Account.
Nicely done

I know right? Like seriously Wispy, have some class.
Just imagine after the inevitable reveal, and Wispy realizing she could do this every year, with Idol being the only model, and still having endless possibilities.

Idol Hooves: Wispy is evil. I am telling you all right now, she is evil.

Thanks!

Wispy: But I need the bits. What higher calling is there than me?

Thank you!

Wispy: Hey! I am a very classy Mare, I will let you know! Just ask Idol or Bold or Shining, I am super classy, the classiest.

Oh that's a fun idea actually:
Idol: Wispy...why am I the only one doing this again? Surely some variety would help?
Wispy: You work for honey, you can shapeshift into anyone, I'm basically making these things for free then selling them for hundreds of bits, it's a gold mine. Now shut up and look pretty.

Lemme put it this way then, Wispy--Idol might be more willing to let this all slide (and maybe allow himself to be talked into doing it again) if some of the money went to benefits that helped other ponies too.

I suppose it could have been given to The Wispy Nimbus Sunshine Home for Wispy Nimbus, set in Sunny Hayvana.

But what could benefit Ponies more than Wispy? Is the knowledge that they are contributing to her well being not more reward than any could ask for?

Wispy: Now this is a comment I can really get behind! Idol, how do you feel about doing something a bit more...experimental, to really draw in the buyers?
I cannot help but think that the next step is for Idol to go back to Cadence, and ask for help in resolving this, and then Wispy having to donate all proceeds to an actual charity.
