How Rainbow Dash Saved Hearth's Warming

It was snowing in Ponyville. All of the houses were decorated from top to bottom with christmas lights, bells, candy canes, and all sorts of decoration to celebrate the spirit of Hearth's Warming, which is tomorrow.

With Hearth's Warming Eve just around the corner, every pony were all excitedly working nonstop to finish their works and shoppings in time for the holiday.

Suddenly, something sped past the villagers, followed by a strong tailwind that sent snows flying onto every pony. That something, is none other than Rainbow Dash, who is just excited as everyone, carrying some saddlebags of gifts, while singing, Jingle Bells.

While singing her musical number, Rainbow Dash was surfing on a snowboard that she had just purchased from a nearby store and performed some flying tricks, sending out gifts to everypony she was aiming for. While doing this, a certain pegasus filly exited out of Sugarcube Corner, licking a candy cane. When she saw Rainbow Dash flying by, she fluttered her wings excitedly before galloping after her hero. She did of course, met a few obstacles, such as sliding on a frozen ice puddle, crashing into a bank of snow and came out as a snow sculpture of a griffon, and avoiding some mistletoes so as to not get kissed by some colts.

Rainbow Dash started to slow down as she was coming to the end of her song, before arriving at the Friendship Castle.

"Rainbow Dash!" the filly's voice called out, revealing itself to be a triumphant Scootaloo who finally managed to catch up.

"Hey Scootaloo!" Dash smiled, as she and the filly embraced each other. "Happy Hearth's Warming Eve kid."

"Thanks, Dash," Scootaloo said as she pulled out a gift wrapped in red papers, with a rainbow ribbon. "Here's your present!"

Dash gratefully took the gift, "Thanks kid." She reached from her saddlebag and pulled out her gift. "Here's your present!"

Scootaloo smiled, as she gratefully accepted the gift.

Dash and Scootaloo both walked into the castle to see that every pony were all getting the castle ready for the holiday. Rarity was fixing some rips in some scarves, hats, and stockings. Applejack and the apple family were heading into the kitchen with Pinkie Pie and the Cakes to make some treats for the holiday. Twilight was telepathically hanging up some ornaments on the tree, with Spike using a ladder to hang up some streamers with Starlight assisting the two.

"Guess everypony's excited as you are for Hearth's Warming Eve," Scootaloo smiled.

Rainbow Dash chuckled, "Can't we help it? Hearth's Warming is pretty much the best time of the year!"

"I know! It's the time we give each other presents! Eat some delicious foods! Play in the snow! Get some new toys! And...."

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, kid!" Rainbow Dash said, stopping the little filly and giving serious look. "Don't forget what Hearth's Warming Eve, really is all about."

Scootaloo's facial shifted to a bored expression, as she replied, "Hearth's Warming Eve is a traditional holiday, in which we celebrated for the founders of Equestria in their victory against the Windigos."

"And do you remember, how they beat the Windigos?"

Scootaloo bore a smug look, as she said, "Is that a trick question? They beat the Windigos with what we all have. The magic of friendship!"

At this point, a small smile started to appear on Rainbow Dash, as she listens to the little filly.

"Since then, every year on Hearth's Warming Eve, we remember to share our love and appreciation for each other to keep the magic of friendship alive, or else, the Windigos will return and conquer us," Scootaloo smiled before turning to Rainbow Dash. "And what better way to share my love, than to spend Hearth's Warming Eve, with my hero."

Rainbow Dash blushed a little and smiled, "Alright kid. So you remember your history lesson. Now do your best, not to forget them. Got it?"

"Got it!"

With that, the two shared a secret hoofshake, ending in a sisterly embrace, not caring the loving looks from the ponies were giving at the sight. The sappy moment was cut short, when the sound of stomach growling was heard.

"Whoa!" Scootaloo exclaimed. "I'm hungry."

Dash looked down to see her stomach was growling as well, "Flying, singing, snowboarding, being awesome really can work up an appetite," Dash smiled sheepishly. "C'mon, let's go see what's cooking in the kitchen."

The Apple Family, the Cakes, and Pinkie Pie were hard at work in the kitchen, getting the foods ready for dinner.

Applejack was cutting the apples for the apple pies. Granny Smith and Big Mac were putting some fresh batches of cookies into the oven. Apple Bloom and Pinkie Pie were cutting doughs into shapes of ponies of the three tribes. The Cakes meanwhile were making some candy canes, decorating some cakes with iced colorings that all matched the theme of the holiday, all the while watching over Pound and Pumpkin Cakes.

"We're going to have the best Hearth's Warming Eve feast celebration, ever!" Pinkie cheered, bouncing excitedly.

"Easy there, Sugarcube," Applejack said, stopping Pinkie's bounce. "We won't be having anything to celebrate, if ya had an accident."

Pinkie scoffed, "Applejack, you worry too much! I'm always careful! Besides, what could go wrong?"

Just then, they smelled something burning.

"OH NO!" Pinkie screamed. "My Super Duper Incredibly Surprising Hearth's Warming Candy Cane Pie!"

Pinkie Pie quickly opens up the oven, and the whole thing came flying out, heading straight for the door, just when Rainbow Dash walked in.

"Hey guys! What's-" Before Rainbow Dash knew it, she was hit in the face by the pie.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, the Cakes, and Apple Bloom, all gasped as Rainbow wiped some of the pie's crusts and fillings off. Scootaloo, who was struggling to keep her laughter in, was laughing and pointing at her sister-figure, before some of the pie's filling was shoved into her face. It was Rainbow Dash's turn to laugh, only to be met with a bowl of flour to the face, causing her to have a Santa Hooves eyebrow, mustache, and beard.

Scootaloo laughed even harder, before she stopped when Rainbow Dash gave a smug look and said, "Of course you realize, this means war!"

"Bring it on!" Scootaloo smirked, donning an empty bowl as a helmet, while both she and Rainbow Dash got some ball of dough in their hooves.

Pinkie rushed out of the kitchen, before coming back in with some instruments and wearing a cowgirl's outfit, and played a classical western number.

"DRAW!" Dash shouted, quickly throwing her dough, which knocked off Scootaloo's helmet.

Scootaloo ducked behind a counter and threw some dough at Dash, who dodged her head to the side, causing the dough to fly past and hit Big Mac. Big Mac turned his head, and mistook Applejack to be the culprit and threw a batter at her. Soon, every pony in the kitchen were caught up in the food fight.

Pinkie Pie quickly changed into a mariachi costume and was playing a lively spanish song. She was happily playing her instruments away, when a pie Rainbow Dash had thrown at Scootaloo, was dodged and it hit Pinkie Pie in the face.

Pound and Pumpkin Cakes both giggled as they got out a bag of flour and poured it onto Applejack, distracting her long enough to get in the face on both sides with pies from Apple Bloom and Big Mac. Granny Smith was hiding behind a counter, wearing an army helmet and wave a rolling pin around, hollering, "You shall never take me alive!"

A ball of batter came and nearly got Granny Smith, if she hadn't ducked down in time, and it got Mrs.Cakes.

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo were still at it with each other, as Scootaloo threw some cupcakes at Rainbow Dash, who retaliated in throwing some Zap Apple Jams at the filly.

In the midst of the scuffle, Pinkie Pie got out a pie and was looking for Rainbow Dash. "Pie in my face, will you?" Pinkie Pie grunted. "I'll give you a mouthful."

Scootaloo then saw some toasts in a refrigerator and quickly took them out.

"You're toast, Dash!" Scootaloo smirked, throwing the toasts like ninja stars at Rainbow Dash, who quickly ducked down behind a counter. Then, the cyan pegasus got up, with a big straw, and blew a raspberry, which Scootaloo caught in her mouth.

Rarity had walked into the kitchen with Fluttershy, and were shocked to see the fight that was going on.

"What in blue blazes is this?" Rarity asked, before she and Fluttershy ducked from an incoming batter ball.

Pinkie Pie was scanning through the whole battle, until she spotted Rainbow Dash. "Now I'm gonna stuff you!" Pinkie said, threateningly, slowly advancing on Rainbow Dash, only to be carried away by a runaway cart, "Catch you later!" The cart was heading straight for Rarity, who fortunately was able to stop it. Unfortunately, she was unable to prevent Pinkie Pie from flying forward and accidentally shoved the whole pie into the unicorn's face. "Sorry Rarity!" Pinkie cried, before she made a run for it, while Fluttershy ran off to get help.

Scootaloo got some cookies, and ate some, before she picked up a bowl and put it on her head, only to discover too late, it was filled with flours, courtesy of the baby Cakes, who were laughing at the filly's tragedy.

Rainbow Dash was hiding behind a counter, sneaking, and keeping her head low to the ground.

Pinkie Pie, still bent on getting revenge on Rainbow Dash came out with an even bigger pie, "I'll get her for sure this time!" Pinkie growled, before she said in a singsongy voice, "Oh, Dashie!~ Where are you? I've got a great jug of apple cider with your name and cutie mark on it."

Unknown to Pinkie, Dash was closer than she thinks, "I'm right here!" Rainbow Dash said as she stood up, oblivious that Pinkie Pie was behind her, and inadvertedly shoved the pie into Pinkie's face. "Where's the cider?"

Pinkie Pie, foiled again, spluttered, "I'll get you next time."

The kitchen was a battlefield of batters, pies, cakes, and all sorts of food, flying at the ponies, laughing and yelling. This went on until a voice cried out, "Everypony FREEZE!"

Every pony were all engulfed in a purple shimmering aura, and were frozen right on the spot.

Standing in the doorway, is a fuming Twilight Sparkle. "Care to explain what's going on here?" she asked.

"She started it!" Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo said, pointing their tongues at each other.

After some mops, sponges, and buckets of waters were given, the whole kitchen is polished, and the cakes, pies, muffins, and gingerbread ponies were all finished cooking.

"Mmmm," Pinkie said, savoring the smell of the baked goods. "Gingerbreads!"

She reached out for one, but her hoof was quickly smacked away by Granny Smith.

"Not yet, youngen," Granny Smith glared.

Pinkie groaned, before whining, "Then how come Dashie and Scootaloo get to have some?"

"They're not having...." Granny Smith turned around too late to find two apples, in place of some gingerbread cookies.

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo were walking through the halls, chewing on the cookies they swiped.

"I can't believe we're getting away with eating stolen gingerbread cookies, before dinner," Scootaloo whispered.

"Well, it ain't exactly spoiling dinner, when you're only eating one cookie," Rainbow Dash stated. "Besides, we didn't steal the cookies. We just....um, exchange them with apples."

"Oh Rainbow Dash!" a voice hollered, to which Rainbow Dash grimaced in disgust. The two pegasi turned their heads to see Fluttershy's brother, Zephyr Breeze, with another flirting look on his face. "Why don't you come over and get cozy with me?"

'As if,' Rainbow Dash thought, knowing Zephyr better when she sees the mistletoe above him.

Scootaloo looked around, before calling out to a giant turquoise unicorn mare, with lime green mane, "Hey! Nelly, look! He's under the mistletoe!"

Zephyr Breeze's jaw dropped, as the unicorn tackled him and kissed him.

Rainbow Dash couldn't help but laugh at the scene, "Thanks kid," she smiled.

"What're little sisters for?" Scootaloo said proudly.

Suddenly, the castle door was burst open, and every pony looked to see a young reindeer, standing in the doorway. The reindeer stands almost as tall as Princess Celestia, with antlers that are medium sized, and a distinct feature, a glowing red nose.

"Is that...."a colt began. "Rudolph?"

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer?" a filly asked.

This set off several murmurs between the ponies, as the reindeer looked up and weakly said, "Rainbow Dash.....help!"

With that, the reindeer collapsed on the floor.

"Oh goodness," Fluttershy gasped, rushing over to the exhausted reindeer.
