This story is a sequel to Christmas Makes a Human Rather Moody

With the events of the Cozy Glow incident fresh on his mind, Benjamin William Murdoch is faced with a new dilemma. However, this may prove to be more than personal, as it may be the ultimate test of character. He also finds that Equestria can be just as complicated as Earth, which may be closer than it seems. The man takes it upon himself to carry out a mission. Regardless of anycreature's opinion, he will see to it that it is fulfilled regardless of the price he may pay.

Rated 'T' for blood and guts.

This story is a sequel to Starlight's New Drinking Buddy

Ben may have gained a kinship in Ponyville. That doesn't mean he'll be all rosy about that time of year.

This makes his new drinking buddy, Starlight, beyond the point of concerned. It may be possible that an intervention may not only help him out of his holiday funk, but maybe her own as well.

I strongly recommend that you read the previous story to get some context for this one.

Ben is a recent citizen of Ponyville, and has warmed up to his neighbors quite easily. However, another less recent resident is in a bit of a mood and needs the only solution that he knows of.

Note: Rated T for language and drunken antics.
