Finally, stopping from exhaustion, the white filly wished she could get to the gem fields quicker to make her mother those golden horseshoes with the rubies in the middle she was planning to create. She laid down on her flank. After a whoosh of wind, she looked. There was a cyan blue pegasus pony, with rainbow colored mane. It looked like Roy G Biv, Rarity's dad's friend from collage. He was one of the fastest ponies in Equestria, and he had a daughter named Rainbow Dash. "Hey.....Rarity?" said the pony. "RAINBOW DASH!" cried Rarity. "Famous little pony who made a Sonic Rainboom when she was sooooooooooo young! Wait, how do YOU know my name?" "Well.......I see it on your saddlebag. Why are you so dirty and laying down?" replied Rainbow Dash. "Well, darling I was just finding gems to make my mother dress shoes for the gala. Can you give me a lift? The Gala's in an hour!" said Rarity. "Sure and I'll make you ride 20% COOLER!" After Rarity clambered onto Dash's back, the pegasus zoomed over to where Rarity requested. After collecting an assortment of rubies, Dash flew back to Rarity's house and the two waved goodbye. "Thanks for helping Rainbow Dash so, I made you this, something for your help." Rainbow looked and there was a large fluffy cloud puffed to her liking made from special unicorn magic. "Hey, thanks Rarity, your a true gem." smiled Rainbow Dash and hopped onto the cloud. "And I promise if we ever go to the gala, I'll make you the best dress ever!" yelled Rarity as Dash flew away, waving goodbye. Rarity, giving the ruby studded shoes to her mother thought "Thank you Dashie" And Rainbow Dash, dozing on her cloud thought, "Thanks Rarity, love this cloud". > A Merry Hearth's Warming Eve (Celly and Woona) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little filly Princess Celestia skipped around the Hearth's warming Tree that was decorated with baubles and colorful tinsel. Her pink mane flowed around as the pony skipped. But as Celestia admired her favorite ornament, a fire ruby and amber sun, the huge pine tree fell on top of the little alicorn. Groggily opening her eyes to see a wild forest of pine leaves scattering the living room, she saw Luna, her little sister sheepishly grinning and munching on a Gingerbread Colt cookie. A shattered sun ornament, Celestia's favorite, was now in a million glimmering pieces scattered on the floor. "Oh Luna! What have you done!" "I-I'm sowwy Tia." said Luna, her eyes shining with innocence. "I was twying to pwactice flying. To be Woona, fastest fwyer in Equestwia!" Luna struck a pose, standing on her hind legs and putting one front leg up. "YOU BROKE MY FAVORITE ORNAMENT! SORRY WILL NOT FIX IT!" screamed Celestia will sadness and anger. Luna started to cry, picked up the pieces of her sister's ornament and galloped upstairs. Celestia sat on her haunches in the middle of the pile of pine and pouted. After she stopped crying, Luna got some dark and blue glass along with the red and orange glass and used some magic. Concentrating, it took Luna lots of time and plenty of breaks to glance at the spell book. Awhile passed and Luna finally finished what she wanted to do. After wrapping it in colorful paper with moons on it and tying it with a orange, fluffy bow, Luna tip-hoofed downstairs and passed her napping sister. Slipping on her scarf and saddle, with bits in hoof, Luna went to the marketplace and bought some mini cakes, and some things from the jewelers shop after forcing the owner to take her bits. With her purchases on her back, the blue alicorn skipped home to Canterlot Castle and thumped on the icy door. After a few minutes of walking circles in the snow, Luna opened the castle with her Canterlot Key and saw her sister looking mournfully at the Hearths Warming tree. "Tia, Happy Hearths Warming Eve!" said Luna offering her sister a sun shaped cake and a golden box and a little ball shaped gift. Celestia chomped the little cake and opened the ball shaped gift to reveal her old sun ornament, half sun, half moon. After giving Luna a quick hug, she unraveled the gold box. Inside was a yellow crown with a purple diamond on it, a necklace, yellow too with a purple diamond also in the middle, and 4 golden horseshoes. Luna took off her saddle and scarf to reveal a black neck-piece with a white moon on it, 4 black horseshoes, a black tiara, and a little cake, moon shaped though. Celestia sighed happily and pulled her little Woona close and said, "Happy hearths Warming Little Lulu." Luna said, "I wove you too big sistew! Happy Hearths Warming Eve to you too!" > Butter and Bread (Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A bright earth pony filly, totally pink with shining blue eyes hopped in her favorite patch of field. She found some daisies and and buttercups and bounced with the butterflies. As she jumped, Pinkie saw a buttery yellow pegasus pony who seemed sad. Hopping over, she saw the poor filly seemed hungry. But Pinkie also saw the filly get surprised when she saw a flash come from her flank and look with a squee at her new cutie mark. "THIS CALLS FOR A PARTTTTYYYYYYYYY!!!" said Pinkie and bounced over to the pegasus. "My name's PINKIE PIE! What's yours?" "Oh....um Hi....my name is um...Flutter.....shy..." said the filly. "Hi Fluttershy! You just got your cutie mark! We should have something to eat and THEN have a PARTTT-" Pinkie cut herself off when she saw Fluttershy blush and prick her ears a bit. "Maybe we can have a little tea party, calm, fun with some woodland critters!" said Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy jumped up and smiled. Pinkie picked up a little white bunny kin and handed him to Fluttershy. "Oh my! Thank you Pinkie, I'll call him......um...Angel!" The two ponies set up their tea party. Fluttershy found a large mushroom for a table, and Pinkie went to a shop to get cushions, and food and tea. The two fillies ate bread, butter and cupcakes. Raspberry tea was drunk all up and everypony (and Angel who got a Salad with cream and a cherry tomato on top) was full and happy. "Looks like I've gotta GOOOOOOO! Bye Fluttershy! See ya AROUND!" yipped Pinkie Pie and was off like a shot to her home. "Bye...." said Fluttershy as she looked at Angel, and smiled. > Zap Apple Magic (Applejack and Twilight) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Applejack walked through the fields of Sweet Apple Acres. Her Stetson hat fell over her orange face as she started to trot. The Zap apples were taking a little longer than expected to grow, and she was worried. "Big Mac! Ah'm worried! Where are the ah'pples? The're supposed ta grow! Ah' mean now!" "It's fine Applejack. Ah'm sure they'll be growin' in no time." He said, his floppy hair falling over his face. Applejack thought he looked worried. Applejack wanted to cry. No Zap Apple Jam, means no bits to save the falling barn! "Hi! I'm Twilight Sparkle! Are you.....Granny Smith?" said a voice. Whirling around, Applejack saw a chubby lavender filly with dark blue mane and a pink and purple strip in it. "No, ah'm Applejack. Whut can Ah get for ya?" "ZAP APPLE JAM!" yelled Twilight with a huge grin. "I'm on break from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns!!!!! We're here in Ponyville to try YOUR SUPER FAMOUS ZAP APPLE JAM!!!! We don't get it often in Canterlot." "Well," said Applejack with tears, "The Zap Apples ain't growing!" A stallion, who was white with two toned blue mane came up and said to Twilight, "What's wrong Twilee? Sold outta jam?" "No, BBBFF! The jam's not growin!" cried Twilight. "An' Applejack, this filly here" she said pointing to Applejack, "needs help!" "Well, Twilee, use your Awesome Magic to help Applejack. And where are my manners? I'm Shining Armor, Twilight here's brother." said the colt tousling Applejack's hair like Big Mac does. Twilight walked up and asked Applejack if she could help the trees. Applejack of course, agreed. Twilight's horn glowed a pink aura a lifted the trees into the sky. The trees spun and spun until a huge windstorm was sweeping Sweet Apple Acres away. "Stop it ya buffoon!" screamed Applejack to Twilight. "I can't c-c-c-control it!" cried back Twilight. But in a flash of light, Big Mac, Twilight, Applejack, and Shining Armor was thrown back as Sweet Apple Acres transformed. The barn was shiny, glossy, and red. Zap Apples weighed the trees down. Applejack cried with delight. Big Mac grinned. Twilight stared in awe. Shining smiled. Applejack quickly made sure that Twilight got a nice big jar of Zap Apple Jam. "Thanks Twi!" said Applejack as her new friend went away with her brother. "Hope we meet again soon."
