It's that time of year again.

The holidays, a time of joyous celebration, gift giving, chorus singing and drinking of strange alcohol. You've really only managed to do that last part so far.

You sit now in a bar, trying to forget the bland feeling you have from the constant reminders of your loneliness.

While there, you hear a commotion and a strange woman who just might be the thing you want this Christmas.

(Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and happy holidays to those who don't. No sex in this one I'm afraid, but a feel good time of year needs a feel good kind of story, no?)

It was the best thing to happen to you since you graduated. Your dreams started being visited by the most beautiful girl you've ever seen. She told you her name's Twilight and that she just wants to be with you.

You were skeptical at first, who wouldn't be? But the dreams got better with each time you went in. You quickly got a prescription for sleeping pills to help you stay in bed longer. The unfortunate side-effect is that you now have to "wake yourself up" in the dream by bashing your head in.

But it's all worth it to get to stay with Twilight. She's the light of your dull life, even if you do have friends to hang out with and a job to go to. How could anything go wrong with a love like this?

(Was meant to be my Halloween story, but I got jumped with exams and some personal stuff, so here it is now)

You just got hired by the Cakes to help around the shop and generally do work that Pinkie would otherwise get distracted by. Only problem is that you have to come in at such an early hour that you don't exactly think clearly.

Pinkie seems completely oblivious to this however, and remains her bubbly self in spite of your sluggish behavior.

The Cakes told you not to do or say anything that might upset her. Sounds easy, not like you'd burn your thumb and let something slip, would you?

Looks like you got a mess to clean up.

(First story in a long time with no mature stuff, trying something new.)
