Chapter 39: Under the Mistytoe

Author's Note:

This takes place after the Winter Wishday Specail when the Mane 6 returned to the Brighthouse to see the Wishday Star

Chapter 39: Under the Mistytoe

At nightime, the Marestream is flying across the sky as it is going side to side as Zipp is driving it, trying to keep it balanced as she groans in frustration while sweating in effort.

“Everypony, hang on!” Zipp called out to her friends, and Sparky, as they looked on nervously at Zipp’s flying as Zipp was going down to the snowy ground in front of the Brighthouse. “We're coming in hot!” She called out.

The Marestream land on the ground, but it gone too fast as it drag across the ground while the rest of the Mane 6 are screaming of the sudden impact while Hitch and Izzy are being drag around, Sunset is holding onto to something on the wall part of the Marestream while Sunny and Pipp are hugging each other in fright while the Marestream still skid across the ground, but then stop before it can hit a bush.

But due to the fast paste the Marestream was going, Izzy hit the windshield face first while being upside down after being tossed to it from how fast the Marestream was going.

Zipp gave a weird smile while she was still sweating as she spoke. “See? I'm getting better.” She assured the others as she turned to face them with a smile, while her left eye twitched a bit from the sudden rush.

Sunny and Pipp still hug each other from the sudden rush they had with their manes a little frazzle, Sparky’s eyes are swirling in dizziness as he lays flat on his stomach on the ground, Sunset giving Zipp a glare at her landing skills and going fast, while Hitch fell from the ceiling of the Marestream as he crash on the floor while the four cringe from that as Sunny opened one of her eyes to look at Hitch.

Hitch lifted a hoof as he spoke. “Much better…” He said in a strain tone after he fell as the others looked at him.

Sunset gave Zipp a glare as she spoke. “Next time, Zipp, Either you practice your landing skills or I’m driving.” She said in a stern tone from Zipp’s lack of experience with the Marestream, sure she knows how to fly, but by her own wings, not a flying vehicle.

Zipp gave a sheepish chuckle from what Sunset said. “I’ll practice my landings next time. I promise.” She assured, going to have to practice driving the Marestream to get better at driving it.


A little bit later, the Mane 6, and Sparky, got their winer gears on as Sunny opened the door of the Marestream with a smile.
“Quick, ponies! We can't miss the Wishing Star!” Sunny announced excitedly, having got back from Bridlewood after telling them about the snow spell thing and rushed back to the Brighthouse so that they could see the Wishing Star. Come on! And don't forget your hats!” She added while pointing at her Winter Wishday hat as her friends rushed off the Marestream in their winter gears. “Go, go, go, go!” She called out with an exciting tone.

Cloudpuff came out next, wanting to see the Wishing Star as well, and Sunny placed a Wishday hat on Cloudpuff, who growled a bit as he tried to shake it off, but no luck but decided to let it slide as he rushed off to catch up to the others.

“We made it!” Sunny called out with a smile as Sunset came next to her with a smile.

“I told you we made it in time, Sunny.” Sunset said with a smile as Sunny smiled back at her. “Now let’s get to the top of the Brighthouse to see the Wishing Star.” She called out as she and Sunny rushed off to catch up to their friends to see the Wishing Star at the top of the Brighthouse.

At the front of the Marestream, the bush that Zipp was about to hit stood up with hooves under it. It was Misty hiding in the bush as she walked further away from the Marestream, glad that she didn’t get hit by it as she poked her head out of the bush.

Misty gave a smile with sparkles in her eyes as she placed her hooves at the side of her right cheek after she saw the Mane 6. “Awww. Look at their matching hats. They look so cute!” She said with a smile, finding the Mane 6’s, and Sparky’s, matching hats really cute on them.

Misty’s amulet clicked open as Opaline appeared while giving a look at where the Mane 6 are at the top of the Brighthouse. “Cute?” She asked with a scoff. “What are those ridiculous things on their heads?” She questioned while giving a distasteful look.

“Oh, yeah.” Misty said with a nervous chuckle. “Must be an Earth Pony Wishday thing.” She suggested.

Opaline groaned from this as she spoke. “Silly ponies and their pointless holiday traditions. It makes me wonder since Sunset is a Guardian of Harmony of how they celebrate these traditions. It's sad really. All that power, no intellect.” She said with a smirk, saying that they have that much power but no brains to use them.

“Yeah.” Misty said with a nervous smile as she gave a nervous laugh as she clears her throat. “So sad.” She added, but gave a down expression, finding the traditions great and not sad at all from what Opaline thinks


At the top of the Brighthouse, The Mane 6, and Sparky, gathered around as they watched the sky as the Wishday Star was about to be right on top of them.

“Okay, everypony! Get ready to make your wish!” Sunny announced as her friends grew excited. “Three, two, one!” She counted down as she smiled with sparkles in her eyes as she kept her eyes in the night sky.

Just then, the Wishing Star appeared as it flew over them and above the Brighthouse as it gave a shimmering glow while the Mane 6 looked and spoke in awe at the Wishing Star. Just then, the Brighthouse shoots out a rainbow while the Mane 6’s Cutie Marks begin to glow as they’re magic shootout and merge with the rainbow while the Unity Crystals start to resonate as well, merging together as the Wishing Star stood in place as it begins to glow brightly with a rainbow circling around it as it shine and then suddenly projected the Mane 6 Cutie Marks in the sky.

Misty and Opaline saw the whole thing as Misty was awed at what they saw. “Wow! Look at that!” She said in amazement as she had sparkles in her eyes, but then noticed how Opaline didn’t respond. “Uh, Opaline? Are you okay?” She asked.

Opaline stared in shock at what she just witnessed from the Mane 6 and the Wishing Star. “Did you see that?! That magic! That power!” She cried out in rage while giving an angry expression, apparently really ticked at how much power the Mane 6 have in them when she hasn't got to that level yet, while Misty gave a nervous look at Opaline’s outburst. “It should be mine! All mine! All I need is that dragonfire, and then my powers can finally be restored to their full strength!” She called out as she gave a wide evil smile as she then got closer to Misty’s face as she gave her a scary look while Misty looked nervously. “And you are going to make that happen... or else.” She said as Misty began to sweat nervously as Opaline went back into the amulet, leaving a nervous Misty from what Opaline just told her and gave her a threatening look.


A little bit later, Misty then disguise herself in a big present as she stick her hoof in a secret hole in the box as she is at the front door of the Brighthouse and rang the doorbell before putting her hoof back inside.

...take me on a sleigh, hey!” Izzy sang as she opened the door and saw the big present right in front of her as she gave a smile with sparkles in her eyes. “Ooh! Another present!” She said cheerfully as she read the card on the present. “‘Do not open until tomorrow morning.’ Ooh, mysterious!” She said excitedly as she then levitated Misty’s disguise present with her magic, but finds it pretty heavy as she strains a bit. “What is... in here?” She asked as she got the present inside the Brighthouse.

In the Brighthouse’s main room, the rest of the Mane 6, and Sparky are playing around with the ‘cloud gifts’ Izzy brought out with a smile while Sparky is playing in one of the boxes while Pipp is smiling at him cutely.
Sunset turned and saw Izzy bringing in a big present. “Whoa! That is one big present.” She said while seeing the big present, and then turned and saw Izzy tired out from lifting the present. “It was that heavy, Izzy?” She asked the unicorn in concern.

“Yeah. Surprisingly heavy.” Izzy said while catching her breath while sweating a bit from lifting the big present.

Sunset came close to Izzy as she brought out a water bottle. “Here. Drink this, Izzy.” She said as she gave the water bottle to Izzy.

Izzy levitated the water bottle as she took a great amount of it from lifting the big present. Once finished, Izzy sighs from the refreshing water. “Thanks, Sunset.” She thanked her with a smile.

“Anytime, Izzy.” Sunset said with a smile.

Pipp then came to them as she looked at the big present in excitement with sparkles in her eyes. “Ooh, this big one must be for me!” She said excitedly.

Inside the fake present, Misty grew nervous from what Pipp just said, knowing that she will be caught if Pipp opens it this quickly and fails her task to get Sparky.

Just when Pipp was about to touch the present, Izzy got in front of her as she spoke sternly. “Hooves off this one, Pipp.” She called out as she then smiled at Pipp. “Can't be opened 'til tomorrow morning. Check the label.” She said as she showed the card to Pipp to prove her point.

Pipp read it as she now understands. “Awwww. Sad.” She said, now feeling sad that she can’t open this gift until morning.

“Sorry, Pipp. But sometimes you gotta follow instructions when it comes to traditions.” Sunset said, knowing very well that when it comes to traditions, follow the rules.

“That’s fair.” Pipp said, finding it fair enough.

Misty heard that, now knowing that she is safe. “Whew. That was close.” She said, relieved that she didn’t get caught.

“Come on you two. You both know the drill.” Sunset’s voice with a teasing tone was heard as Misty wondered what was going on.

Misty then looked through one of the holes through the box as she watched what's happening as she then gave a gasp at what she was seeing.

What Misty is seeing is Sunny and Hitch kissing under the mistletoe with blushes on their faces with their eyes closed while Pipp, and Izzy gasped in shock and amazement, as Pipp took a picture of this moment on her phone, while Sunset and Zipp smirked at them of this outcome.

Misty gave a cheeky smile with a light blush on her cheek at what Sunny and Hitch just did as she gave a quiet squeak from that. “That is so cute and adorable from those two.” She said, going to remember this moment, sure she is missing but she is glad she didn’t miss this, seeing two ponies under a mistletoe can be a cute thing, especially from Hitch and Sunny.


Sometime later, the Mane 6, along with Cloudpuff and Sparky, are sleeping in the main room in their sleeping bags as they wanted to sleep near the vampire for Wishday.

Misty then looked through the hole to see if it was time, once she saw that the Mane 6 are now asleep, she squeeze through the whole with a grunting effort as she got out of the present as she fell to the floor, she got up with her hooves over mouth to keep quiet as she saw the Mane 6 are still asleep.

“What am I doing? These ponies are so nice.” Misty said to herself, knowing that the Mane 6 are so nice and they did let her have a sleepover with them at the Brighthouse, but she shook her head as she focused on why she was doing this. “Oh, come on, Misty! You get Opaline that dragon, you get a cutie mark! Stay focused!” She determinedly said to herself.

Misty then sneakily went through the room to look for Sparky as Izzy is snoring and then muttered something about glitter as she turned to her side, which made Misty duck a bit in panic, thinking she was about to wake up, but realizes that Izzy is still asleep as she is still snoring.

Misty then sneaky went past Sunset, who is sleeping peacefully next to Sunny as she snores a bit, which made Misty freeze a bit. “Five more minutes, Princess Celestia. I don’t wanna go to magic school.” She muttered in her sleep as she tucked herself some more in her blanket.

Misty sighs in relief from that as she continues her search for Sparky. She went to where Hitch is sleeping for the night in the critters section since it was late for him to go back to the station, while Hitch is snoring, as Misty is searching for Sparky.

And then, Misty then heard a rustling sound as she turned to Izzy’s crafting table as she smiled when she saw Sparky eating a ball of yarn as he burps out one of his dragon fires with his eyes opened up. Misty grew nervous, thinking Sparky was about to wake up, but then the baby dragon continued to eat the ball yarn, apparently he was sleeping, walking and eating at the same time.

“Hmmm…” Misty hummed to herself since she knows it will be tricky to get Sparky when he’s in that condition, so she has to think of a plan. “I know just how to get that little dragon's attention.” She said with an evil smirk as she rubbed her hooves evilly, having a plan to get Sparky.


A little bit later, Misty baked a fresh donut as she was hiding behind a counter with an evil smirk.

Sparky then starts sleepwalking towards the donut by following the smell as he is snoring and mumbling about something as he climbs up the counter and chomp on the donut face first.

Misty smiled at seeing that her plan is working as she release a rope as a net was about to fell over Sparky, but the baby dragon finish his donut as he sleepy release his dragon fire on the net, which turns into cupcakes as Sparky laughs happily from this as he grab some of the cupcakes and got down the counter as he walked off.

Misty groans in sadness, seeing that her first plan failed and got turned into cupcakes.


A little bit later, Misty tried out another plan to capture Sparky, which is the classic lured prey by following a food trail to get trapped in a box, with Misty using mini sandwiches pieces as a trail to lure Sparky in.

Misty then hid behind the counter again with a rope to the stick holding one edge of the box as she gave an evil smirk, knowing that this one will work.

Sparky came walking by, still snoring as he ate the sandwich trail while sleepwalking, getting closer to the box trap. Misty smiles as though this plan is gonna work, but then Sparky grabs the stick holding the box as he chomp on the stick, splitting it in half as he eats a piece of it.

“What?!” Misty asked in disbelief from what just happened, and wondered why Sparky would eat a stick. “Ugh!” She groaned in frustration as she had it, she then zip out of the counter to just grab Sparky and get out of there, having enough with the plans.

Sparky then starts running in his sleep while an irritated Misty gives chase while Sparky’s ball of yarn that he was chewing on earlier rolled ahead of them. Misty then runs back around as she is looking to where Sparky ran off too with an irritated look.

Sometime behind Misty at Izzy’s crafting table came rushing into it as a can of spray rolled across the floor. Misty turned as she gave an evil smile as she rushed to the crafting table and looked at the shadowy figure, thinking it’s Sparky.

“Gotcha!” Misty called out as she came over it with a red sack, trapping what she believes is Sparky inside as she made it to the door, bringing out her own winter hat, with a smile, thinking she succeeded as she trotted out the door happily and closed the door.

Sunset woke up from the door closing as she looked around tirelessly. “Huh? What?” She asked herself as she looked around and saw Sparky sleep eating with a cookie he was chomping on as Sunset yawns as she stood up. “Sparky. Sleep eating again, little baby dragon?” She asked the baby dragon.

Sparky didn’t respond as he was still asleep while eating as he gave off a yawn while snoring.

Sunset then grabbed Sparky and placed the cookie down as she gave the baby dragon a tired smile. “No more snacks before bed for you, Sparky. You had enough for one day.” She said tirelessly.

Sunset then walked over to Hitch as she placed the sleeping Sparky on a pillow next to Hitch as she placed his blanket over the baby dragon and Hitch sleepy placed a hoof over Sparky while still sleeping.

Sunset smiled cutely at Sparky as she gave a goodnight kiss over the baby dragon, which made Sparky smile in his sleep. “Sleep tight, Sparky.” She quietly said as she went back to her sleeping bag and went back to sleep as she snores.

But which begs the question, if Sparky is here, and who or what did Misty capture when she bailed out?


At Opaline’s castle, Opaline is surprisingly wearing a Wishday green hat and coat as she sings happily to herself.

Dragonfire, dragonfire. That's what I desire—” Opaline sings happily to herself, secretly loving the holiday traditions as she secretly sang to herself, about the dragonfire she’d been wanting for a long time from Sparky, in a ‘Jingle Bell’ tone.

And then, the door opens as Misty comes in with a smile. “Opaline!” She called out happily, which startled Opaline from Misty’s sudden appearance.

Not wanting Misty to see her what she is wearing or what she’s been doing, she quickly took off the green hat and coat as she gave a nervous smile while sweating nervously at Misty. “Misty! I, uh... Well, I wasn't expecting you back so soon.” She said nervously while keeping her image to protect, not wanting Misty to know what she was doing.

“Clearly.” Misty said with a raised eyebrow at Opaline’s reaction. “Were you just singing?” She asked in confusion since she hadn't heard Opaline sing before.

Opaline then starts laughing nervously while she gives a nervous smile while sweating nervously. “No! What?! Of course not!” She stammered nervously with a nervous smile while Misty placed the bag with ‘Sparky’ in it down as she continued to look at Opaline in confusion. “Singing? Me? You must be hearing things again.” She stated, covering up her secret, before she looked at the red back, that is moving around, as she gave a gasp. “Is that what I think it is?” She asked hopefully with a smile.

“Open it.” Misty said to Opaline with a smirk, knowing that she will love what’s coming.

Opaline gasps with joy as she walks towards the bag with a smile. After all these moons, finally I have what I need to resume my rightful place as the most powerful Fire Alicorn in history!” She said evilly with an evil expression as she opened up the sack, but what came out gave her a shock expression since it is Cloudpuff, who is still wearing his bed mask over his eyes as he barked.

Opaline looked on in shock with her jaw hanging as Cloudpuff kept barking and hit Opaline’s face, which gave her an irritated look as she and Misty looked at Cloudpuff running around.

“What is that?” Opaline asked as she looked on with an irritated look while Misty looked on in shock as she looked at the sack, realizing she caught the wrong creature. “Does that look like a dragon to you, Misty?” She sarcastically asked Misty while giving her a look, while Misty is sweating nervously while looking at Opaline in nervousness as the evil alicorn groans from this. “Can't you do anything right?!” She asked in rage as she got closer to Misty’s face with an angry look as the unicorn cringed fearfully from that.

“It was dark!” Misty tried to explain while tears were forming in her eyes at the mistake she made. “I... I thought it was the dragon! I'm sorry, Opaline!” She apologizes to Opaline, who is trembling while trying to keep her rage in check with her back turned to Misty.

“Well, don't just stand there.” Opaline started as she turned to Misty. “Get it OUT OF HERE!” She yelled out in rage while pointing at Cloudpuff, who is still running around Opaline’s throne room.

Misty got scared of Opaline’s outburst as she rushed off to catch Cloudpuff and return to him to the Brighthouse, which she is having trouble doing since Cloudpuff is running around as he barked and Misty fell to the floor when she tried to catch him. Opaline facehoof herself as she groans, not only from Misty’s screw up but also annoyed about Misty’s trouble at catching that dog.


The next morning back at the Brighthouse, Izzy opened the door after the doorbell rang again and saw nopony but a small present in front of her.

“Ooh, another present?” Izzy asked with a smile as she went to the side of the present and read the card on it. “‘Open immediately.’ Don't mind if I do!” She said with a smirk as she opened the present up, seeing Cloudpuff in it as he barked happily and his bedmask came off, apparently the only way to return Cloudpuff without going back in is to get him into the same way she got into the Brighthouse.

Izzy gasps happily at what she saw. “Cloudpuff?!” She asked happily as Cloudpuff jumbo out of the box and onto Izzy’s hoof as he licked her cheeks and landed back on the ground. “Ooh! How'd you get in a box?” She wondered before she gasped as she remembered something similar happened to her once. “I was in a box once. It's so fun.” She said to Sparky with a smile, remembering when she was trapped in a unicorn trap box during Hitch’s tour of Maretime Bay as she and Cloudpuff went back inside the Brighthouse as the door closed.
