  1. A gift for this writer: http://pastebin.com/u/Jibber
  2. >Wake up
  3. >Shit, shower, and shave
  4. >You’ve been back home for about a week now
  5. >You travel the world often
  6. >Trying to learn about this magical place
  7. >A fellow writer sent you here over a year ago
  8. >You’ve made many friends, but the ones in Ponyville always miss you the most
  9. >There’s a knock on your door
  10. >You open it slowly
  11. >It’s Fluttershy
  12. >But she’s all gooey
  13. >Slimeshy
  14. >Oh god
  15. >You have a boner now
  16. >”Jibber is slime your fetish?”
  17. >You nod
  18. “When is something not my fetish?”
  19. >She blushes
  20. >”You have a lot of f-fetishes. It’s nothing to be ashamed of….”
  21. >Her hoof rubs the ground nervously
  22. >”I don’t see you very often anymore, and I was thinking we could have a nice cup of cocoa at my cottage.”
  23. >”Then we can have some f-fun~.”
  24. “Sorry Fluttershy, you know how I feel about this.”
  25. >She nods
  26. >”I-I know, sorry Jibber.”
  27. >You pat her head
  28. “It’s fine.  I’ll see you later I’ve got a class of kids waiting for me.”
  29. >Cheerilee has invited you over to teach her class about your culture
  30. >Specifically Christmas
  31. >You’ve pack some supplies, and Rarity made you a Santa hat
  32. >The kids will love it
  33. >You walk on towards your destination
  34. >You’re glad none of the ponies were as psycho as they were in your trilogy
  35. >They’re all a bit crazy though
  36. >Fluttershy may decide to force you into sleeping with her later on
  37. >You’re walking through the marketplace when you’re stopped by Applejack
  38. >You still feel nervous talking to her
  39. >She’s your favorite, and you try not to have a crazy fanboy moment
  40. >You could potentially end world hunger if you managed to spill spaghetti when talking to her
  41. >Luckily that hasn’t happened yet
  42. >Applejack is a nice pony too
  43. >She tosses you an apple
  44. >You catch it
  45. >”Howdy Jibber!”
  46. “Hi Applejack.”
  47. >”We’re glad you came back to us, Jib, Manehattan ‘aint a place for somep0ny like you.”
  48. “It’s not dangerous or anything.”
  49. >Applejack shakes her head
  50. >”I mean you belong here Jibber, with us.”
  51. >She gives you a hopeful smile
  52. >”That’s why I want to invite ya over for Hearth’s Warming Eve.”
  53. >”You may not think you have a family, but you do.”
  54. >Her statement melts, and breaks your heart at the same time
  55. “I’m sorry Applejack, but I’m planning on leaving for the Griffon Kingdom tomorrow.”
  56. >”But you’ve only been back for a week!”
  57. “I know, I know, but the Friendship Express won’t make another trip there for another two months.”
  58. >Applejack sighs
  59. >”Alright Jibber.”
  60. >She moves out from behind her stall and hugs your waist
  61. >”Just don’t forget about us, y’hear?”
  62. >Nod and eat the apple
  63. >You hug her as best as you can with all the things you’re carrying
  64. >After a few more minutes of traveling, you arrive at the Schoolhouse
  65. >All the colts and fillies stare at you
  66. >Some aren’t used to the sight of a human
  67. >Cheerilee smiles
  68. >”Just on time Jibber! Class I’d like to introduce you to Mr.Jibber.”
  69. >You walk over to her
  70. >Face the class
  71. >They all greet you in their sweet little voices
  72. >Cheerilee begins to go over your origin in that sweet voice of hers
  73. >She made it sound more exciting than it actually was
  74. >Then she turns to you
  75. >”So, Mr.Jibber what holiday do they celebrate where you’re from?”
  76. “I’m glad you asked, we celebrate Christmas. It’s on the same day as Hearth’s Warming Eve.”
  77. “We have decorated trees, and candy canes. But it’s about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.”
  78. >Truffle Shuffle raises his hand
  79. “Yes?”
  80. >”What’s a Jesus?”
  81. >You pull out a sketch of jesus
  82. “He’s believed to be our savoir, the one who died for our sins.”
  83. >Sweetie Belle gasps
  84. >”W-we killed Jesus?!”
  85. “Um no, well see there’s this religion called Christianit-“
  86. >Half the class is already snoring
  87. >Sigh
  88. “Wait! It gets better! There’s this jolly magical man dressed in red.”
  89. >Applebloom frowns
  90. >”You told me humans can’t use magic.”
  91. >Oh boy
  92. >When you explained Santa to Twilight she would not let this go
  93. >It took four hours to get her to not prattle on about it
  94. “He’s special. His name is Santa Claus. He travels around the world to give presents.”
  95. >This gets all their attention
  96. “He rides on a sleigh pulled by 8 reindeer.”
  97. >”Do the reindeer also give out presents?”
  98. >Oops
  99. >Reindeer aren’t just animals in this world
  100. “Maybe.”
  101. >You clear your throat
  102. “He goes into your house at night….”
  103. >Scootaloo looks scared
  104. >”That’s a bit creepy.”
  105. “But he’ll give you whatever you ask for, if you’re nice and not naughty.”
  106. >”Cool!”
  107. >”Will he come here?”
  108. >”Are you Sandy Claws Mr.Jibber?”
  109. “No, no no. I’m no Santa.”
  110. >You roll out your hand drawn map of your world
  111. >Show them the north pole and where you lived
  112. “See? Santa lives over there, and I lived over here.”
  113. >Twist raises her hoof
  114. “Yes?”
  115. >”But Santha Claus also lives in Can-ooo-da.”
  116. >You chuckle
  117. >Looks like someone was paying attention to the map
  118. “I guess he sort of does, but no I’m not Santa.”
  119. >Diamon Tiara groans
  120. >”Who cares about some Monkey’s freaky version of Hearth’s Warming Eve?”
  121. >Applebloom looks offended
  122. >”You take that back!”
  123. >”Yeah!”
  124. >Sweetie Belle squeaks
  125. >”He’s a very nice, and not freaky, monkey!”
  126. >…Thanks Sweetie Belle
  127. >Cheerilee clears her throat
  128. >They all look at her
  129. >”Mr.Jibber does Santa give presents to all the kids?”
  130. “No he gives them coal if they’ve been mean.”
  131. >”Diamond Tiara, if you were a human this behavior would only get you coal.”
  132. >”Be polite to our guest.”
  133. >Diamon Tiara grumbles to herself after a forced apology
  134. >Soon Cheerilee calls for recess, and you’re talking with her
  135. >She wants you to work with her at the Schoolhouse
  136. >Especially since you mentioned your profession back on Earth
  137. >”Trust me Jibber, you’re good at this.”
  138. “Oh I’m not awful, but I’m not the greatest.”
  139. >Cheerilee gives you a sultry look
  140. >”To me, you are.”
  141. >She approaches you
  142. >You and her have been good friends for some time
  143. >She has a crush on you, but she knows about your aversion to ponies
  144. >When you actually have to live with them, it’s actually quite hard to not feel a bit of an aversion to a relationship with one
  145. >They don’ look bad, but they look alien
  146. “Look Cheerilee, I know what you’re going to ask.”
  147. >Sigh
  148. “I’m traveling, and I just can’t…..sorry.”
  149. >She stops smiling
  150. >You hug her
  151. “I’ll be back eventually alright?”
  152. >She is silent for a long moment, but then nods
  153. >You excuse yourself outside
  154. >The Cutie Mark Crusaders are waiting for you there
  155. >They’ve grown a bit since you’ve last seen them
  156. >”Jibber!”
  157. >They cry out and tackle your legs
  158. “Wow you’re all starting to look less like little fillies.”
  159. >Scootaloo pouts
  160. >”We’re not ‘little’ fillies…”
  161. >Ruffle her mane
  162. “Being youthful isn’t a bad thing, Scoots.”
  163. >Sweetie Belle smiles expectantly and you ruffle her mane as well
  164. >Applebloom squeals in mock horror, as you ruffle hers last
  165. “I missed you three, are you any closer to finding your cutie marks?”
  166. >Sweetie Belle kicks the ground
  167. >”No….”
  168. >Applebloom chimes in
  169. >”But we’re hoping to get them before spring!”
  170. >Scootaloo nods
  171. >”I thought we were really close with that fireworks idea.”
  172. >Applebloom frowns
  173. >”But my brother made us clean up the entire orchard for that!”
  174. “Well, that sounded like hard work. What are you all doing for Hearth’s Warming Eve?”
  175. >Sweetie Belle smiles
  176. >”I’m going to help Rarity make something for mom and dad!”
  177. >She hops around
  178. >”Then she said she would make something special for me!”
  179. >Scootaloo tries to hide her excitement
  180. >”Well I’m going to try and invite Rainbow Dash to my house!”
  181. >She flutters her little wings
  182. >”My parents said I was allowed to bring her over.”
  183. >”I just hope she says yes! No, I know she will!”
  184. >You smile
  185. >It turns out Scootaloo wasn’t an orphan
  186. >You asked if she had parents, one day
  187. >It ended with you meeting her entire extended family as well as her parents
  188. >That was a strange day
  189. >Applebloom walks up to you and nuzzles you
  190. >”Mr.Jibber?”
  191. “Just call me Jibber.”
  192. >”We’re not doin’ much for Hearth’s Warming Eve, just Applejack, Big Mac, Granny Smith, and I.”
  193. >”It’s gonna be a nice family dinner, and maybe you would like to come over?”
  194. >You sigh
  195. >She sort of saw you as a father figure
  196. >It was hard enough turning down Applejack, but now Applebloom?
  197. “Sorry…Applebloom.”
  198. >You can see her heart sink
  199. >”B-but….maybe you can come over to celebrate Christmas or somethin’?”
  200. >Applebloom gives you puppy dog eyes
  201. >”Pleeeeeeeeeease?”
  202. >Hnnnnng!
  203. >Must resist….
  204. “No. That would be nice, but I’m going somewhere.”
  205. >You feel so guilty now
  206. >”But you’re always going somewhere….”
  207. >You pat her head
  208. “I know, I know.”
  209. >You wave them all goodbye and head on home
  210. >Unbeknownst to you, Applebloom runs off from her friends
  211. >She looks extremely hurt over this
  212. >As you pack and prepare, you’re plagued with guilty thoughts
  213. >Why do you need to go to the Griffon Kingdom so soon?
  214. >You’re never really settled down
  215. >Does a part of you want to find Earth?
  216. >A better place than here?
  217. >It’s for knowledge you tell yourself
  218. >But who will you have left to share it with at this rate?
  219. >Damn these thoughts
  220. >You shrug them off as you go off to sleep
  221.  
  222. >You are now Applebloom
  223. >You’re looking out at your window
  224. >Just thinking
  225. >Jibber is so nice
  226. >He’s always helped out around the farm
  227. >Given you advice
  228. >Everyp0ny in your family likes him
  229. >And yet
  230. >He always leaves and goes places
  231. >More and more often
  232. >You feel jealous that he’s going to be spending Hearth’s Warming Eve with other ponies or creatures
  233. >Doesn’t he know that he’s like family to you?
  234. >It’s very late now
  235. >Your eyes start fighting you
  236. >You blink a few times to keep awake longer
  237. >You’re about to go to bed when you see something bright flash across the sky
  238. >It’s a shooting star
  239. >You’ve always heard in old stories they could grant wishes
  240. >You have one on your mind right now
  241. >”I wish….I wish Anon would stay and celebrate…..Christmas.”
  242. >You smile
  243. >He’d want to celebrate Christmas
  244. >After all Santer Clons sounds nice
  245. >You just want Jibber to stay
  246. >Somehow
  247. >In some way
  248. >You go to bed
  249. >Wishing
  250.  
  251. >You are now Jibber
  252. >You wake up and throw off your sheets
  253. >Get dressed, grab your suitcase
  254. >Drink some coffee, and walk towards your door
  255. >You hear some activity outside
  256. >Is it Fluttershy?
  257. >You open your door
  258. >Holy shit!
  259. >The entire outside is covered in snow
  260. >Not just a little snow like before
  261. >But it looks like it could go up to your thighs
  262. >Who planned this?
  263. >This isn’t Earth
  264. >Things like this just don’t happen
  265. >You look around
  266. >The front of your house is clear of snow
  267. >Thanks to …Fluttershy
  268. >She’s singing and shoveling away the snow
  269. >A bear and some other animals are helping
  270. >How does one use a shovel with hooves anyway?
  271. >”Oh Jibber! I’m glad you’re awake!”
  272. >She flutters over to you
  273. >”Th-the train station and taxi services are all canceled this week.”
  274. “What?!”
  275. >”It’s all the snow! There’s going to be a lot of snowstorms and the weather ponies can’t seem to stop it!”
  276. >That doesn’t sound good
  277. >Actually that’s awful
  278. “I’m supposed to be in the Griffon Kingdom by late afternoon!”
  279. >Fluttershy gives you a sympathetic smile
  280. >”Well at least you can stay a bit longer.”
  281. >”If you wouldn’t mind, we could spend today at my cottage.”
  282. >She’s still making a pass at you?
  283. “No, I need to get this all figured out. Sorry.”
  284. >You start to walk away
  285. “Thanks for clearing the snow around my house.”
  286. >”Oh, but I insist Jibber.”
  287. “No that’s fine.”
  288. >You hear her horse snort and drag her hoof along the ground
  289. >”I’m ‘insisting’ if that’s okay with you mister.”
  290. >Time to run
  291. >Drop your suitcase
  292. >She charges at you, but you’re already sprinting away
  293. >It’s a struggle to not trip and hit the ground
  294. >Everything is so slippery
  295. >That or you’re falling into deep snow
  296. >You’re shivering and miserable
  297. >You hide inside Sugarcube Corner
  298. >Fluttershy calls out that she can keep you warm, and that your clothes are too wet to wear
  299. >She’s still searching
  300. >”Jibber?”
  301. >Yelp
  302. >Oh it’s Applebloom
  303. >”You haven’t left yet?”
  304. >She looks hopeful
  305. “No the train ride is cancelled.”
  306. >”Really?!”
  307. “Yeah….”
  308. >”Well then maybe y-“
  309. >You see Fluttershy approach
  310. “Got to go!”
  311. >You run off
  312. >Look around the area
  313. >You need to head to an area with less snow
  314. >You turn a few corners, and find an area with a bunch of snow bundled up
  315. >There’s a panel of judges walking around
  316. >Looking at snowponies
  317. >Wow a competition already?
  318. >You decide to pass by
  319. >But a certain pink pony has other plans
  320. >Pinkie Pie stands in your way
  321. >Move aside
  322. >She moves to block you again
  323. >Move aside
  324. >Blocks you once more
  325. “You’re not gonna let me leave unless I build something with you, right?”
  326. >She nods frantically
  327. >You run over to a large pile of snow
  328. >You work quickly
  329. >She just watches
  330. >Unsure of what you’re making
  331. >It’s a snowman
  332. >”Wow! That looks really funny!”
  333. >She giggles
  334. >The judges appear
  335. >”This isn’t a pony.”
  336. >It’s disqualified
  337. >Assholes
  338. >You’re about to leave when Fluttershy charges into the snowman
  339. >Pinkie Pie gets pushed into the snowman
  340. >Fluttershy squeaks and realizes that this isn’t you
  341. >She concentrates
  342. >Looks at the snowman and then at you
  343. >Pinkie Pie groans within the snowman
  344. “Take the snowman! It’s also um human?”
  345. >”No! Take Jibber, he’s jibber and human!”
  346. “It’s Snowman season!”
  347. >”Jibber season!”
  348. “Snowman season!”
  349. >”Jibber season!”
  350. >Fluttershy looks at the snowman and then you
  351. >Very confused
  352. “Snowman season!”
  353. >”Snowman season!”
  354. “Jibber season!”
  355. >”It’s obviously Snowman season!”
  356. “No, it’s Jibber season!”
  357. >Fluttershy pounces on you
  358. >”Y-yes it is, mister.”
  359. >Oh god!
  360. >Close your eyes
  361. >You can feel her, but you don’t want to see her
  362. >But nothing happens to you
  363. >You open your eyes slowly
  364. >You’re in the library?
  365. >You orient yourself, and inspect the area
  366. >Twilight is galloping around
  367. >Taking notes and panicking
  368. “What’s wrong?”
  369. >”It’s the snow!”
  370. >Okay
  371. >That’s obvious
  372. “And…?”
  373. >”It’s because of you!”
  374. >Twilight pulls out a complicated diagram of magical equations
  375. “Just give me the gist of it.”
  376. >”Somep0ny made a wish and it was granted!”
  377. >Whoa
  378. >Really?
  379. >Well, if dragons are possible so are wishes…
  380. >She points to a long equation
  381. >”I tried finding the focus of all this magic, and it’s you Jibber.”
  382. “I didn’t make a wish….”
  383. >Twilight looks surprised
  384. >”Are you sure?”
  385. >Twilight Sparkle studies your face
  386. >”The snow is only going to get worse.”
  387. “Well I do wish we had Christmas here…”
  388. >Twilight Sparkle gasps
  389. >”That’s it! We need to bring Christmas to Equestria!”
  390. >She teleports away and comes back with a bunch of notes
  391. “Are you sure? This is all a bit strange.”
  392. >She nods
  393. >”We need to do this.”
  394. >You hope this works
  395. >An hour later and you’re beside Twilight outside of Town Hall
  396. >All of Ponyville has attended
  397. >Everyone actually looks quite worried
  398. >Especially since Rainbow Dash announced that the weather ponies can’t seem to stop the snow
  399. >”Hello everyp0ny! As you can see, we have a problem on our hooves.”
  400. >Someone calls out
  401. >”Is it windigos?”
  402. >There’s lots of muttering
  403. >”No it can’t be!”
  404. >”Of course it can be, you of all ponies should know about being hateful!”
  405. >Twilight shouts
  406. >”Be quiet!”
  407. >The arguing stops
  408. >”Jibber here accidentally made a wish and it’s causing the snow.”
  409. >You blush
  410. >You still don’t think you made the wish, but the snow is connected to you in someway
  411. >All eyes are on you
  412. >Wave slowly
  413. >”To fix this, we must celebrate Christmas!”
  414. >More muttering
  415. >”It’s like Hearth’s Warming Eve, it’ll be fine.”
  416. >”There’ll be presents for everyone by Santa Claus.”
  417. >Santa?
  418. >”Who’s Santa?”
  419. >Twilight spends the next half hour explaining it to everyone
  420. >Half of the town still finds the concept a bit odd
  421. >”Where’s Santa?”
  422. >Twilight Sparkle giggles
  423. >”You’re looking right at him”
  424. >She motions a hoof to you
  425. >WHAT?!!!
  426. >After the town meeting, you’re arguing with Twilight back at the library
  427. “Twilight I’m not Santa! I’ve got the hat, sure, but not the clothes and the beard, or the resources!”
  428. >”But you’re both from Cannoli.”
  429. “Canada.”
  430. >Well he could be Russian though
  431. >But that would muddy the issue
  432. >”Canadia, right. Jibber, Equestria needs you.”
  433. >Sigh in an exasperated manner
  434. “Okay…”
  435. >You try to stroke your beard
  436. >But you don’t have one
  437. “Santa Claus is coming to town…”
  438.  
  439. >It’s the next day
  440. >The snow has gotten worse
  441. >Your house is filled with snow
  442. >You had the exit from your chimney
  443. >Well
  444. >You got practice
  445. >Sorta…
  446. >Currently, you’re outside the library
  447. >Sitting on a chair
  448. >While half of Equestria waits in line to sit on your lap
  449. >While Twilight records what they want
  450. >Some are cute little foals
  451. >Others are adult ponies
  452. >They all want bellyrubs
  453. >”I want a new set of silverware, oh! Also some that 50 shades of hay book!”
  454. >You nod slowly and rub Roseluck’s belly
  455. >Twilight scribbles it down
  456. >”Next!”
  457. “Who’s paying for all of this Twilight?”
  458. >”Taxpayers.”
  459. “Oh.”
  460. >Roseluck gets off and trots away
  461. >A mint green unicorn jumps onto your lap
  462. >Grunt
  463. >It’s Lyra
  464. >Shudder
  465. >She’s creepy
  466. >Not to the extent that you wrote her in Lyra’s Misery
  467. >But she is obsessed with your hands
  468. >You slowly rub her belly while she gives you the bedroom eyes
  469. >Twilight Sparkle clears her throat
  470. >Lyra realizes that she’s supposed to ask for what she wants
  471. >”Sandy Claws? Can I have hands?”
  472. “I give gifts, not miracles.”
  473. >”Artificial hands?”
  474. >Shudder
  475. >Your own story comes to mind
  476. >Maybe she is as bad as the Lyra in your story
  477. >She tries to suck on your fingers, but Twilight shoos her away
  478. >Who’s next?
  479. >Your eyes widen
  480. >Iron Will stomps over to you
  481. >He sits down on your lap
  482. “Arg! Unf! Oooooow.”
  483. >Deep breath
  484. >Twilight Sparkle prepares her quill
  485. >But he is silent
  486. >”Why is this Santaman not rubbing Iron Will’s hard abs?”
  487. >You rub his abs reluctantly
  488. >He shouts
  489. >”Rub harder!”
  490. >You do so
  491. >”Iron Will would like the entire Beanie Foals plushie collection!”
  492. >Luckily that was all he wanted
  493. >Then he walks off
  494. >Pant a bit
  495. >Your lap is going to be sore for a bit
  496. >Luna flies onto your lap
  497. “Ssssss ow.”
  498. >Sigh
  499. >Wait
  500. “Princess Luna?”
  501. >”Yes! We would like to be part of this modern holiday!”
  502. >”Mr.Claus! We demand a book!”
  503. >Twilight writes it down
  504. “On?”
  505. >Her voice softens
  506. >”Being…’cool’.”
  507. “Okay.”
  508. >She looks at you expectantly
  509. >….
  510. >Rub her belly
  511. >She flies off, extremely giddy
  512. >Who’s next?
  513. >Applebloom approaches
  514. >She smiles
  515. >Aaaaaw
  516. >You pick her up and set her down on your lap
  517. >You rub her belly gently and tickle her chin
  518. >”Ji- Santa?”
  519. “Yes?”
  520. >She looks at you hopefully
  521. >”Can Jibber come over for Christmas?”
  522. >”That’s all I want.”
  523. “Hohoho….that’s not possible Applebloom.”
  524. >”But it is possible! All he has to do is come over!”
  525. >Damn it
  526. “Look Applebloom I don’t have time for this, I have to stop the snow.”
  527. >”I know how! But you’re too much of a jerk to see it!”
  528. >She hops off your lap
  529. >She’s in tears
  530. “Wait Applebloom!”
  531. >Applebloom gallops off
  532. >Sigh
  533. >She’ll be happy when you get rid of all this snow
  534. >It’ll be fine…
  535. >Afterwards you’re eating with Twilight and Spike in the Library
  536. >Planning out how this will be done
  537. >You’re tired out, that took all day
  538. >Tomorrow is when you’re supposed to deliver these presents
  539. >There’s a knock on the door
  540. >Spike answers it
  541. >Applejack comes in with a bunch of pastries
  542. >”Hey yall. I came as soon as ya asked Twilight.”
  543. >What’s this about?
  544. >Your stomach growls
  545. >Applejack sets down the pastries
  546. >”Eat up Jibber.”
  547. >Thank her and chow down
  548. >Apple pies
  549. >Apple fritter
  550. >Candy apples
  551. >Applesauce
  552. >All delicious
  553. >You notice you’re the only one eating
  554. “Is something wrong?”
  555. >Twilight shakes her head
  556. >”Nothing.”
  557. >Applejack chuckles
  558. >”She’s trying to fatten you up, so you look like Santa Clown.”
  559. “Claus.”
  560. >”Oh heh yeah.”
  561. “I’m not going to get fat that fast, nor do I want to.”
  562. >Get up
  563. >Silly Twilight
  564. “Also don’t cast the beard spell on me either.”
  565. “Goodnight everyone.”
  566. >Leave
  567. >You’ll admit, it felt really manipulative
  568. >And it sort of pissed you off
  569. >Snowflakes are falling quite heavily
  570. >You are mesmerized by them as you walk home
  571. >Along the way you spot Cheerilee
  572. >She’s catching them with her mouth
  573. >You grin
  574. >Ponies look very cute when they do that
  575. >You walk over to her
  576. >She hears you approach
  577. >The crunching sound from the snow makes it quite loud
  578. “Hey, it’s quite cold out here.”
  579. >”I noticed.”
  580. >She giggles
  581. >Oh...yeah duh....
  582. >”Come join me Jibber, don’t just sit there.”
  583. >You position yourself beside her
  584. >Open your mouth
  585. >You catch a few flakes with her
  586. >For a few minutes that’s all you do together
  587. >It’s silent and tranquil
  588. >Cheerilee breaks the silence
  589. >”Jibber?”
  590. “Hmmm?”
  591. >”This Santa stuff, it seems unrelated to the thing about Jegus.”
  592. “Jesus”
  593. >She gasps
  594. >”Oh sorry, Jesus.”
  595. “Really Christmas is about family and friends.”
  596. >”Wouldn’t Hearth’s Warming Eve work then?”
  597. “I guess they are similar in that sense, but….well I’m just doing this to appease Twilight. Something is wrong with the weather, and hopefully this will fix it.”
  598. >Shrug
  599. >”Maybe we should sing some carols. Those always bring everyp0ny together. Do they have carols on your world?”
  600. “Yeah of course.”
  601. >”Can you sing me one?”
  602. >She looks genuinely interested
  603. >Nod
  604. >Deep breath
  605. Silent night… Holy night…
  606. All is calm all is bright
  607. Round yon virgin mother and child
  608. Holy infant so tender and mild
  609. Sleep in heavenly peace!
  610. Sleep in heavenly peace!
  611. Silent night! Holy night!
  612. Shepherds quake at the sight
  613. Glories stream from heaven afar
  614. Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
  615. Christ the Saviour is born!
  616. Christ the Saviour is born!
  617. Silent night! Holy night!
  618. Son of God love's pure light
  619. Radiant beams from thy holy face
  620. With the dawn of redeeming grace,
  621. Jesus, Lord at thy birth,
  622. Jesus, Lord at thy birth,
  623. >”That was beautiful.”
  624. >Cheerilee is leaning on you
  625. >She gives you a loving smile
  626. >Move away quickly
  627. “Whoa whoa whoa!”
  628. >Smile nervously
  629. “Um sorry you surprised me. I’ll see you tomorrow right?”
  630. >She nods
  631. >”Be safe Jibber.”
  632. “Y-you too.”
  633. >Turn around
  634. >”Hey Jibber?”
  635. “Yes?”
  636. >”Is there such thing as an Mrs.Claus?”
  637. >Oh geez!
  638. >You walk away quickly
  639. >Hiding your massive blush
  640. >Damn it!
  641. >Why did you have to react so awkwardly to that?
  642. >You go to sleep dreaming of your favorite bubble gum pony teacher
  643.  
  644. >Wake up from loud knocking
  645. >Check the time
  646. >6 AM
  647. >Open the door
  648. >Twilight Sparkle is there
  649. >”Come on Jibber we need to go now!”
  650. “It’s not nighttime yet.”
  651. >”Timezones, Jibber.”
  652. “Right.”
  653. >You follow her to Carousel Boutique
  654. >Rarity made you a complete Santa costume
  655. >For some reason you feel badass wearing it
  656. >Rarity was wearing a weird toucan costume
  657. “Why are you dressed like a toucan?”
  658. >”Jibber I am not a toucan! I am an elf!”
  659. >Whisper to Twilight
  660. “Elves don’t look like that.”
  661. >”Oh….then what do they look like?”
  662. “Humans with pointy ears.”
  663. >”But wouldn’t they just be a different type of human?”
  664. >….
  665. >….
  666. “Nevermind, let’s go.”
  667. >You and Twilight go to the outskirts of town
  668. >As you approach the designated spot your eyes widen
  669. >There’s a huge sled
  670. >And an equally large bag
  671. >Twilight motions for you to get on the sled
  672. >You take your seat, and Twilight takes hers
  673. >Fluttershy turns her head towards you
  674. >She smiles and it appears she is wearing a pair of fake antlers
  675. >There are also other pegasi
  676. >Rainbow Dash
  677. >Flitter
  678. >Cloudchaser
  679. >Derpy…?
  680. >Snowflake
  681. >And
  682. >SPITFIRE?!
  683. “Oh my god Spitfire!”
  684. >Spitfire grins
  685. “Can I have your autograph?”
  686. >Spitfire chuckles
  687. >”Get in line.”
  688. >She motions to Rainbow Dash
  689. “Well it’s good to have you all with me.”
  690. >”Jibber, t-try the reins.”
  691. >You whip them lightly with the reins
  692. >They all look a bit offended
  693. >Except for Fluttershy
  694. >She’s moaning
  695. “Stop Fluttershy, it’s also my fetish.”
  696. >”Oh okay, I’ll remember that later mister.”
  697. “Twilight how are we going to get this off the ground? It’s heavy.”
  698. >Twilight’s horn glows brightly
  699. >”Now everything should weigh less, don’t worry I’ll take care of most of this.”
  700. >That’s a relief
  701. “Alright, now we just need to be able to see in this foggy, stormy, and snowy weather.”
  702. >Derpy calls out
  703. >”Took care of it!”
  704. “You did?”
  705. >She nods and shows you a glowing lightbulb attached to her muzzle
  706. “How did you know about Rudolph?”
  707. >”Who?”
  708. “Erm, let’s just go.”
  709. “Reindeer, are you ready?”
  710. >”Of course.”
  711. >”Always ready!”
  712. >”Sure.”
  713. >”YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!”
  714. >”Uh huh.”
  715. >”Are we leaving now?”
  716. >”Spitfire standing by.”
  717. >The pegasi start running and running
  718. >Then they spread their wings and take flight
  719. >It’s like a more bizarre carriage ride
  720. >Twilight tells you to guide them towards certain houses
  721. >You just drop the presents in the chimney
  722. >It’s actually relaxing
  723. >But Twilight doesn’t seem so relaxed
  724. >”We’re going too slow!”
  725. “What? I thought we’re making great time!”
  726. >”We’re not even halfway done!”
  727. “Alright, uh Spitfire, and Dash speed us up!”
  728. >Dash chuckles
  729. >”I thought you’d never ask!”
  730. >She speeds up along with Spitfire
  731. >A little too fast
  732. >She rainboom’d
  733. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
  734. >You would be concerned about the bag falling out
  735. >Or possibly dying from too much g-force
  736. >But right now you’re just terrified
  737. >Luckily you didn’t miss any houses along the way
  738. >You don’t want this sled making too many sharp turns
  739. >Many hours later……..
  740. >You vomit from the side of the sled
  741. >It’s one hour before midnight
  742. >This was a long day
  743. >And all the reindeer…erm pegasi are tired
  744. “H-how many presents are left?”
  745. >”Just a few more, and then back to Ponyville we go!”
  746. >”But we need to not waste any time! It’s almost midnight!”
  747. >You nod
  748. >Then it’s Christmas Day, or Hearth’s Warming Day
  749. >Your sled lands on Canterlot Castle
  750. “There’s no chimney….”
  751. >Luna is beside you
  752. “Oh here you go.”
  753. >Give it to her
  754. >She begins to read through her book
  755. >”It seems we have much to learn to become ‘cool’.”
  756. >You jump back into the sled
  757. “40 minutes! Who’s next?”
  758. >”The diamond dogs!”
  759. >Really?
  760. >Oh right, you remember them sitting on your lap
  761. >They had fleas
  762. >Ugh
  763. >You fly the sled over to the quarry
  764. >Dump a bunch of bones into the holes
  765. >”20 minutes!”
  766. “Who’s left?”
  767. >”Zecora!”
  768. >It seems like an eternity when you finally arrive over her hut
  769. >Drop a ….
  770. >Bong(?)
  771. >Unwrap gift
  772. >It’s an oil lantern
  773. >Oooooh
  774. >Well now that it’s delivered, you hop onto the sled again
  775. >You have the sled rush out of the Everfree Forest
  776. >There’s the designated landing area
  777. >By Town Hall
  778. >There will be a crowd waiting to greet you
  779. >Twiligt looks giddy
  780. >”We did it Jibber! We did it!”
  781. >You nod
  782. >The sled comes in for a landing
  783. >The “reindeer” land and all of them collapse in exhaustion
  784. >You strike a pose
  785. “Well the snow is gone! Merry Christmas everyone!”
  786. >Smile
  787. >No one is cheering
  788. >Look upwards
  789. >The snowstorm is still raging as strong as ever
  790. >Your heart sinks
  791. >That was all for nothing?
  792. >Twilight Sparkle looks mortified
  793. >”But we succeeded! We had a Christmas in Equestria.”
  794. >All the ponies are shivering
  795. >One of the crowd calls out
  796. >”This Christmouse thing was a waste of time!”
  797. >A few boo at you, and throw things
  798. >There’s arguing among the crowd
  799. >But there’s one calm and clear voice
  800. >”Silent Night….”
  801. >Cheerilee?
  802. >”Holy night.”
  803. >”All is calm all is bright.”
  804. >Twilight joins her
  805. >”Round yon virgin mother and child”
  806. >Applebloom is singing too?
  807. >She and her family came to watch
  808. >They join in with her
  809. >”Holy infant so tender and mild.”
  810. >The crowd begins to sing as well
  811. >They’re all quite good at singing
  812. >”Sleep in heavenly peace!”
  813. >”Sleep in heavenly peace!”
  814. >”Silent night! Holy night!”
  815. >”Shepherds quake at the sight”
  816. >You join in
  817. Glories stream from heaven afar
  818. >”Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah”
  819. Christ the Saviour is born!
  820. >”Christ the Saviour is born!”
  821. Silent night! Holy night!
  822. >”Son of God love's pure light”
  823. >”Radiant beams from thy holy face”
  824. With the dawn of redeeming grace,
  825. >”Jesus, Lord at thy birth,”
  826. Jesus, Lord at thy birth,
  827. >There’s a bright light
  828. >A large flaming heart appears above you all
  829. >Everyone applauds
  830. >You rush over to Cheerilee
  831. “Thanks for that.”
  832. >”No problem Jibber.”
  833. “I guess we were missing the point.”
  834. >Shrug at Twilight
  835. “I’ve been missing the point…..both holidays, they’re about friends and family.”
  836. >”And lovers…”
  837. >You grin
  838. >Your lips meet and  brush across each other
  839. >You kiss her for a few moments
  840. >Until Applebloom pokes your leg
  841. >You pick her up
  842. “All this time I’ve been neglecting my family. I’m sorry Applebloom.”
  843. >You set her down
  844. >And hug her
  845. >She hugs you back
  846. >”It’s a wish come true.”
  847. >The snow stops falling
  848. >The wind stops howling
  849. >The sky clears up
  850. >Everyone cheers, and then looks at your hug with Applebloom
  851. >Many d’aaaaw
  852. >One by one, ponies join the hug
  853. “Merry Christmas Applebloom.”
  854. >”Happy Hearth’s Warming, Jibber.”
  855. >Tonight was a good night
  856. >END
