Preparations

At the Ponyville library, Twilight, Lunar, Spike, Nyx and Lunar were seen packing up. They are getting Ready to leave for the Crystal Empire for the holiday. This is the first time Twilight and Nyx are spending the holiday with Twilights brother. Twilight planned it with both her parents, and with shining armor and Cadence. Which they all agreed it be a good idea. Tex never knew about the Crystal Empire at all,. She then turned to Nyx "Nyx what is this, Crystal Empire?" Tex asked.

"The Crystal Empire is basically a long forgotten city that disappeared long ago. It used to be ruled by Sombra, but since his death, uncle Shining and aunt Cadence took the throne."

"I hope it's neat."

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash came into the Library. She is also going to spend the holiday with Nyx and her family. Rainbow told her mother and father that she is gonna be spending the holiday with Nyx's family this year, since she is part of her family due to her becoming her godmother. Rainbows parents gladly allowed Rainbow to spend the holiday with her goddaughter and her family. She also had to tell her boss that she will be on vacation out of town, which she accepted it, since Rainbow deserves a vacation for her hard work. "Yo Twi, are you guys ready for the holiday?" Rainbow asked.

"we sure are Rainbow. I'm so glad you are spending the holiday with us since you are now part of are family ever since you became Nyxs godmother."

"Well i'm excited to hang with Nyx and do something special for her."

minutes later both Nyx and Tex came down stairs which Tex was helping Nyx carry her stuff. Ever since Tex became Nyx's friend, she's been enjoying living with Nyx. She even vowed to Nyx that she will protect her from harm, if she senses something bad. Nyx then saw Rainbow Dash. With a big smile on her face she ran and tackled Rainbow playfully. "Hey Rainbow. I'm really happy you are coming with us." Nyx said with a smile

"heh, I guess since we are family, I decided to spend the holiday with yours since i'm now part of your family." Rainbow said while giving Nyx a hug.

Nyx got off of Rainbow Dash and allowed her to get up. After she got up, Lunar came downstairs with his stuff all ready. It is gonna be his first time ever meeting Twilights parents, her brother, and Cadence. "I guess you're ready hun?" Lunar said to Twilight.

Twilight couldn't help but blush. Ever since Lunar enter Twilight's life, she felt sorry for Flash Sentry. As Twilight, Rainbow, Lunar, Nyx, Tex and Spike left the library, Twilight couldn't help but remember Flash Sentry. Suddenly when thinking of Flash Sentry, Twilights eyes were going wide. "uh oh." said Twilight

"What's wrong hun?"

"I forgot to tell Flash sentry, my former crush that i have a Coltfriend. Drat."

"Flash sentry? Oh you mean that Colt Nyx told me about when you and her went to the human world to retrieve your original crown from Sunset Shimmer, which was way before you returned it to the Tree of harmony?'

"That's right.... wait, Nyx told you about that?"

"Ya, she said you had a Crush on him."

"Well a little one. Wait are you mad?"

"No, i'm not. besides you Just need to tell him about us."

"I'll do that."

The group now approched the Train Station and there waiting for the group Was Twilight's parents, Twilight velvet, and Night Light. They all smiled as they saw their daughter and Nyx show up with the others. "Hi sweetheart." said Twilight Velvet.

"Hey mom, hey dad."

"Hey grandma, hey grandpa." Said Nyx

"Hi Nyx. So Twilight, who's the colt there and that Dragon?" Night light asked her daughter.

"This here is Lunar Eclipse, Lunas long lost son whom was corrupted by The Shadows Blessing, and disappeared for 1004 years by freezing himself in time. But thanks to Nyx the blessing was removed and He became my coltfriend. I'll let him tell you the story someday."

"Ok. who's the Dragon?"

"I'm Nyx's friend Tex. I'm a Space Dragon. Nice to meet you."

"Wow."

"Hey, Twilight velvet." said Rainbow Dash

The two parents then saw Twilights friend and they were shocked. They then looked at their daughter. "Uh why is mrs. Dash here?" Twilight velvet asked

"She is Nyxs godmother and now is part of our family. She is spending the holiday with us."

"That's fantastic."

They then started to board the Train to the Crystal Empire. as they got to there seats, Nyx Approched her mom. "Mom where do you want me to sit?" Nyx asked.

"Why don't you sit with Rainbow Dash. i'll be sitting with Lunar."

"Ok."

The group then took there seats. Tex sat by Spike while Nyx was sitting with Rainbow Dash. Throughout the Train ride, Nyx was reading a Daring Do book with Rainbow Dash. Nyx remembered that Shining armor already forgiven her that year. SHe was eagered to see her aunt and uncle again. Tex was talking to Spike, She was asking what the Crystal Empire is like. Spike explain alot of things about the Empire and mentioned the Crystal heart, its priced Jewel that's filled with power. Tex knew right away to not mess with the Crystal Heart.
The train was now approaching the Crystal Empire Train Station. When it stopped at the station, the group got up and walked out of the train and proceeded to head to the Crystal Empire. When they have arrived at the empire, two guards lead the group to the palace. As they entered the Palace they saw both Shining Armor and Cadence. "Twilight, Nice to see you again." Shining armor greeted.

"Nice to see you brother."

"Hey Twilight."

"Cadence."

Twilight then walked up to Cadence and they proceeded to do there greeting "Sunshine, Sunshine ladybugs awake, clap your hooves, and do a little shake!" they said together

"Uh, what was that?" Tex asked Nyx

"That is my moms greeting when ever she sees cadence. She said it''s something Cadence taught her when mom was little."

Shining armor then saw Nyx and he smiled. "Hi Nyx. how's my Niece doing?"

"I'm doing good uncle shiny. Oh look at this."

Nyx then closed her eyes and suddenly the Equestrian emeralds came to view and spun slowly around her. "check it out, it's the equestrian emeralds.' she said.

"Wow Nyx, that's so neat. So you're destined to use their power."

Cadence then smiled at Nyx and gave her a hug. Shining armor saw Rainbow. Rainbow then told him that She is now part of Twilights family since she became Nyx's godmother. Which Shining Armor gladly accepted Rainbow into the family. he then saw a Dragon. "Twilight, who is the Dragon?"

"I'm Tex. I'm Nyx's Friend and pet Space Dragon. I became Nyx friend after i received visions of her." Tex said

Shining was glad the dragon turns out to be a nice dragon like spike. After saying there hellos and both Shining and Cadence meeting Lunar, Shining showed Everyone to there rooms. Nyx couldn't share a bedroom with Twilight, because it only fits two and she had to share it with Lunar. Twilight knew Nyx had to be with some she can trust to sleep with during the time. Rainbow then volenteered that she will share a bed with Nyx. Twilight and Lunar talked about it and they decided to allow Rainbow to share a bed with Nyx. Nyx was okay with it, since she is used to being with Rainbow. Tex even got to share the room too. As they got settled in, They went to the dining room and had Dinner with a radio station playing. "So Lunar what do you mean when you were corrupted?" Twilight velvet asked.

"Have you heard of Dark Shadow?"

Both Twilight parents, and both Shining Armor and Cadence gasped. They knew about Dark Shadow. According to what the knew Dark Shadow was more evil then Sombra. Dark Shadow was known for wanting to conquer and enslave all of Equestria.

"Well basically, 1004 years ago i have witness the killing of my Marefriend Fire Storm. When I tried to run, Dark Shadow got be and blessed me. when my Mom, Luna was banished, and Dark Shadow was sealed in the shadows, I Went haywire, which caused the emeralds to remove themselfs from me and i Froze my self. 1004 years later, I was unfrozen by a Dragon. After many months of suffering and taking orders from Dark Shadow, whom was freed from the shadows by the same dragon. I regained control over myself for a certain amount of time and plead to Nyx to remove the blessing. we then went in battle with Dark Shadow, but he killed me, which lead Nyx to kill Dark Shadow for his sins, since sealing him won't work. I was then resurrected by the emeralds. in the end i'm living with Twilight."

"So Nyx killed Dark Shadow?"

"By using the power of the Equestrian Emeralds, by using it's Special ability, FInal Strike. she saved herself and all of Equesteria."

As they ate dinner, they felt very sorry for Lunar to go through a bad experience. Suddenly on the Radio station a familiar song was playing, Nyx suddenly realize it was the song she sung during the concert months ago. It was Shadows. "Nyx, i didn't even realize that the song went on radio."

"me either."

As they listen to the song, They even noticed how Nyx voice, shows the pain she is facing while she is still facing the Shadows of her identity crisis. as the song concluded. Shining armor and Cadence were surprised. The didn't even realize Nyx was still fighting the shadows of what she did. After dinner, Twilight asked where Flash Sentry is When they told her where he is, she went to talk to him. It now was 9pm and Nyx decided to go to bed. Rainbow led her to their bedroom and put her in bed. She knew Nyx was tired from packing. Tex made a bed for herself and went to sleep. Tomorrow, they are going to have fun.

Author's Note

Ya i know i made a reference to Equestria girls. along with the Shadows song. if you are wondering why the song Shadows is mentioned and being played on the radio, refer back to the first installment of The Nyx Chronicles, it'll explain it if you are tuning in to this. It will help clear things up

Anyway this is the beginning of the Forth Installment of the Nyx Chronicles and the first holiday one. Hope you enjoy

meet Glowing Aurora and time at the Castle

The next day, everyone got up bright and early. In Twilight and Lunars room, Twilight and Lunar had plans to do this morning, but they can't bring Nyx because they want it to remain a secret. Rainbow had nothing to do, so she decided to be with Nyx, Tex and Spike. Twilight velvet and Night Light had errands to run, for the upcoming holiday. Cadence remained at the palace, along with Shining Armor, whom had interviews to do with new recruits for the guard. The group then headed to the dining room when suddenly they run into Flash Sentry. "Whoa. Oh, it''s you Twilight, how you doing my special pony?" Flash Sentry said.

"Uh Flash, do you mind if we talk?"

"What is it?"

"I have a coltfriend now. I was meaning to send you a letter but I kept forgetting. It's save to say we should be friends."

"I'm okay with it your highness. I'm not mad. I have to get to my post now. see you around, even you too Nyx."

Flash Sentry then went on his way to his post while Twilight couldn't help but blush at her friend. They then arrived at the dining room where Cadence and Shining armor were waiting. They had a special breakfast made since they are spending their first holiday in the Crystal Empire. "So Twi, what your plans today?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm dying to hear sis." said Shining Armor

"Me and Lunar are going out. We figure that we should find something to do with the family this year."

"Oh that's right. drat I forgot to ask Nyx what she wants"

"Uh what?" said Nyx

"Nyx, what do you want for hearths warming?" Rainbow asked

"I want something really special. Something that can make me feel awesome like you."

Rainbow took it in and realized it was going to be tough. They then proceeded to have there breakfast. after they ate, Rainbow said that she has nothing to do, so she decided to watch over Nyx with Tex, Spike, Shining armor and Cadence while Twilight, Lunar, and Twilights parents are out. They all agreed that it was best, because they didn't want to spoil the surprise. Nyx even knew that she didn't want to have the surprise spoiled. as the four ponies left, Rainbow turned to Nyx. "Remember Nyx, you have to behave."

"yea i know. but thank celestia that mom called me out of school. At least it means i'm not around Diamond Tiara. I didn't want the same thing to happen when you were watching me while mom was in Canterlot."

"What happened?" Cadence asked

"Lets just say, Diamond Tiara beaten Nyx up giving her minor black and blue marks and a minor black eye."

"What! That's not nice of her."

"Well since Nyx is considered a Princess after defeating Dark Shadow the same way we defeated Sombra but in a different way, I believe she can't hurt Nyx, because it will count as an assualt on royalty."

"i'm still shock Nyx is a princess, but yes, Diamond Tiara will get in deep trouble for assualt on Royalty if she tries again."

As Shining armor was having his coffee, he begin to wonder why it took so long to fogive Nyx. since that incident that hearths warming, he felt regret that he caused her to be afraid of her. After Nyx was found at Spell Nexus manor, he forgave Nyx for what she did when she was Nightmare Moon. As he finished his coffee he got up and looked at his wife. "Well I better get going, I have Interviews with new recruits. Rainbow if you need me, ask a guard to escort you to my office." he said

"Okay"

With everything done, Shining Armor went on his way. Rainbow decided to take Nyx to their room. when they go to their room, They begin to read a Daring Do book together. Ever since both Twilight and Rainbow Dash introduced the Daring Do series to Nyx, Nyx really enjoyed the series. an hour passed by and they finished reading for now. The two were now trying to figure out what to do now. Rainbow knew that if she wanted to take Nyx outside, she had to keep an eye on Nyx just in case something bad happens. They both knew that a lot of ponies still fear Nyx. Suddenly Tex saw something, a vision. Tex told both Nyx and Rainbow that she saw that Nyx was going to meet a ffilly who goes through the same thing Nyx gone through, being bullied and has unique magic. Both Nyx and Rainbow Dash knew that this was one of tex's abilities, the ability to see things before they happen. They thought at first it was similar to Pinkie Pies ability, but turns out it's different. After hering this Rainbow was still thinking and she suddenly hit an idea. she realized they can go to the arcade. In Ponyville, Nyx loved going to the arcade. They decided to go to there. They got up and headed to Cadence and told her where they are going, just incase Twilight comes back. Cadence agreed that it was a good idea. Before they left Rainbow Dash got a pair of shades for Nyx to wear to keep her eyes hidden. Nyx agreed it was best because some of the ponies still fear her.

The Arcade

Throughout the time, Nyx was having fun at the arcade. Rainbow followed Nyx to keep an eye on her. Some ponies were even staring at Nyx, they were wondering if it was her. Nyx ignored that the ponies were staring at her. As they were heading to the next game, they noticed two big colts bullying a unicorn filly around Sweetie belles age. "Your not special, your magic is fake." said one of the bullies"

"I..it's not fake"

"oh what are you gonna do cry? go ahead....Cry"

Both Rainbow and Nyx started to think. should they get involved? Nyx quickly thinking ran over to the filly and faced the buillies. "Nyx wait." said Rainbow. But it was too late. Nyx was now by the fillies side.

"What do you think you two are doing."

"Get out of the way dweeb. And don't get involved or else."

"OR ELSE WHAT? Why don't you, take your sorry mouths, and get away from her. you're scaring her."

This made the two teen colts angry, they then pushed Nyx out of the way launching her Shades to Rainbow. As Nyx got up she opened her eyes making em visible. "you shouldn't have done that." she said

the sight of seeing Nyxs eyes, the teens were now scared. Standing infront of them, was the second Nightmare Moon. They were frightened. They then started running like scared little fillies. "THAT'S RIGHT YOU BETTER RUN. THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO PICK ON A LITTLE FILLY. "She shouted. Nyx then turned to the filly and offered a hoof to help her up. "You alright?" Nyx asked.

The filly then looked at Nyx. She was surprised. "I'm.....I'm okay. Thanks."

"sheesh, whats with those two? Why would they doing this to you?"

"It's because i'm a special gifted unicorn. I have unique magic. I'm sorry but i didn't catch your name."

"My name is Nyx, Nyx Sparkle. I am the daughter of Twilight Sparkle."

The name surprised the filly. "You mean you're "the" Nyx Sparkle?

"Yes. now whats your name?"

"I'm Glowing Aurora, Nice to meet you."

Rainbow then walked up to Nyx. She noticed that Nyx actually defended a filly from bullies. She had Nyx shades with her. "Well.... that was surprising Nyx. But i think it's best to keep your eyes hidden. you don't want to be taken into custody."

Glowing Aurora then looked at Nyx. Nyx informed her that Rainbow Dash is her godmother and is watching over her until Twilight returns from her errands. Glowing Aurora then told Nyx that she is being made fun of because she is currently a blank flank. she mentioned that she is gifted with the ability to slow down time on those who try to attack for matter of 10 second. She also mentioned that once hearths warming ends, she is moving to Ponyville. Nyx then met Glowings Father, whom was nice to Nyx. Nyx then mentioned to glowing that if she ever wants to visit, she has to come to the castle, where she is staying for the holiday, It was now for Glowing to head home with her father, after saying goodbye to Glowing and her father, Nyx and Rainbow decided to head out. Rainbow decided to treat Nyx to hot chocolate. After buying the hot chocolate, the two headed back to the castle and were greeted by Twilight. "Where did you two go?" she asked.

"I took Nyx to the arcade, then bought me and her hot chocolate." Rainbow assured.

"Well, Cadence told me, i'm okay with it."

Tex then came walking in. She saw Nyx and Rainbow. The Space Dragon couldn't help but smile at her friend. But she was wondering, if her prediction of the filly was true. what if it wasn't? Nyx then perched up. "Hey Tex, guess what?" said Nyx

"What?"

"Your prediction was true. I met the filly."

"That's great to hear."

After they talked to both Twilight and Tex, Rainbow and Nyx decided to head to their room and drink their hot chocolate. Rainbow was really happy she was spending hearths warming with her goddaughter. Nyx was glad she met somepony that is gifted and is moving to ponyville. Rainbow and Nyx decided that they should read the daring do book they were reading earlier for the time being.

Twilight, Lunar and Twilights parents were with cadence and shining armor talking with them. Cadence was wondering how Rainbow join Twilights family. Twilight then told Cadence that Rainbow wanted to be something to Nyx, and she decided to be Nyx godmother. She then said that she got the request from Rainbow to ask Celestia about it, which Twilight was okay with it and Celestia was too. Cadence was also happy that Nyx was the new holder of the equestrian emeralds. Lunar then mentioned that he was the holder, up until the emeralds turned on him when he was still under the blessing. Twilight's parents were glad that Their daughter has a lover and Nyx having both a godmother and a father.

In the room, that Nyx, Rainbow and Tex were sharing, They were playing a card game and talking. "So Nyx how is the whole Diamond Tiara situation going?" asked Rainbow

"According to cheerliee, Diamond Tiara is given one last warning, if she doesn't shape up and stop, she will be expelled until next school year. but thank Celestia that i've been called out for the holiday."

"I have to admit, i'm surprised that i get to spend the holiday with my awesome goddaughter, whom is Twilights daughter."

Nyx couldn't help but laugh. Nyx then realize she won the card game. Rainbow knew that Nyx was unstoppable. Rainbow couldn't help but chuckle that she found a pro card player, no wonder why applejack kept losing to Nyx in a game of cards or poker. Dinner came and Nyx and Rainbow head towards the dining room along with Tex. Rainbow told Nyx that tomorrow she will be going out for a while, and promised she will be back. Shining Armor decided to watch Nyx while both his sister and her coltfriend are out with their parents. After dinner Nyx went to play with Tex. Through out the night Nyx was glad she was having fun with Tex. Nyx then realize it was her bedtime and then headed to bed with Rainbow.

Next Day

"Now Nyx behave while we are gone. Rainbow will be back in an hour or so, okay?"

"Yes mom."

As Twilight, Lunar, Twilights parents and Rainbow left, Nyx and Tex followed Shining Armor to his office. Shining Armor still had interviews to do and he wants Nyx to be on her best behavior. as they reached his office Shining turned and face Nyx. "Make sure you are on your best behavior. Tex, if Nyx needs something, come get me right away." Shining Armor said

Both Nyx and Tex nodded in agreement and they sat on the couch in the next room. Through out the day, Ponies caught sight of her, they wondered why Nyx was here. Tex got Nyxs book for her and she read for the time being. Nyx was then hungry and to Tex. Tex told Shining and he gladly got up and went to get food for Nyx. an hour past by and As shining armor was about to close office for the day, a guard came in. "Sir, we have a visitor for Nyx." he said

"Who?"

"A filly named Glowing Aurora."

"Let her in."

The guard then let the filly in and the guard was right,. It was Glowing Aurora. She couldn't help but smile at Nyx. "Hi Nyx." she greeted

"Hey hows it going Glowing Aurora."

"Not to bad. hey who is the dragon?"

"That's my friend, and also my pet Space Dragon. She can talk. Her name is Tex."

"She can talk?"

"Of course I can talk." Tex said

with everything out of the way, Nyx and Glowing went and played. Through out the day They played cards. To Glowings surprise Nyx was a pro. Nyx then showed Glowing the book that is based off her, and told her that she is chosen to hold the Equestrian Emeralds. Glowing knew that the Equestrian Emeralds were a powerful weapon to defeat evil. Glowing really enjoyed hanging with Nyx. Suddenly, Rainbow appeared. "Yo, Nyx i'm back." said Rainbow.

"Hey Rainbow."

Rainbow then noticed that Nyx was with a filly. "Is that Glowing Aurora?"

"Yes, she came to hang out with me."

Rainbow was quiet glad Nyx made a new friend. Rainbow then gave Nyx some hot chocolate she bought while she was out. Nyx was quite happy that Rainbow got her some hot chocolate, despite the cold weather, she needed to drink something. "It seems she really likes you Nyx." said Glowing Aurora.

"Well she really enjoys having me around. I grown to love having her as my godmother."

Rainbow then decided to let the two fillies hang out. She told Nyx if she needs something, she is in the living room of the castle. After she left, Nyx and Glowing started a new game of cards

Else where

Out in the shopping center, Lunar and Twilight were seen strolling around seeing things that are on sale. They were busy shopping for a gift to buy their daughter. "hun, I know it's hard but we need to find something to get Nyx." Lunar said.

"But why is it difficult to find something she likes. I know she likes Daring do, and other stuff. But what can we buy for her?"

"Maybe that."

Twilight looked and she saw what has to be a great thing for Nyx. "Maybe we can get her it as a gift."

Back at the castle

Back at the Castle, Nyx and Rainbow were hanging out. Glowing had to leave to go home because she has to visit her grandparents. Cadence came in and bought Nyx something to eat. "How's it going Nyx?" asked Cadence

"It's going great."

Nyx then began to eat. after she was done eating she then laid on Rainbow side. Nyx sure likes Rainbow. she thought. Twilight, Lunar, and Twilights parents came in. "Hi Cadence." Twilight greeted.

"Hey Twilght."

Twilight then saw Nyx and Rainbow. She even saw Rainbow smiling at Nyx whom was resting on her side. She couldn't help but find it cute. She then went up to Nyx and tapped her. Nyx's eyes opened and she saw her mother. "Hey Nyx. I see you were resting on Rainbow." Twilight said.

"She's fun to be around mom."

Rainbow couln'd help but rub Nyxs head. "She really loves me Twi. I'm glad i get to spend the holiday with her."

"I'm glad you are Rainbow. besides, the reason Nyx is sharing a room with you is for two reasons. both me and Lunar need to discuss stuff about the holiday privately, and for both you and Nyx could bond more."

To Rainbow, she had to admit, It was best for Nyx to be with her, so Lunar and Twilight could discuss stuff in private. But what Rainbow really needed to do, is figure out what to get Nyx. Hearths warming is coming up in a couple days and it's getting tough. Dinner came and the group headed towards the dinning room. After dinner Nyx asked Twilight if she could stay up late and read Daring Do with Rainbow Dash. Knowing that Nyx has to go to bed at nine, but it was the holiday, Twilight gladly allowed Nyx to stay up late.
Through out the Night Rainbow and Nyx read the Daring Do book while, Tex was sleeping. After they finished it, it was now time for Nyx to go to bed, because she was tired. Rainbow hugged Nyx and she went to bed. Rainbow remained awake, she was trying to decide what she should give her. She wants something to make her feel awesome like Rainbow Dash. She knew it was gonna be tough, She had to think about what Nyx really wants. Tex then woke up and looked at Rainbow. "What's wrong Rainbow?" Tex asked

"I'm having trouble deciding what to give Nyx."

"Well you just have to think outside of the box. Try thinking what makes you awesome and what she likes."

"I'll try, but i'll call it a night."

"Okay, i will try to predict something. if i find anything, i will tell you in private."

Rainbow then nodded and got into bed. she couldn't help but look at Nyx whom was sleeping in peace I really think I have the best goddaughter ever. Rainbow thought. she then gave Nyx a a kiss on the cheek. "Night Nyx." Rainbow whispered. she then turned and fell asleep. Tomorrow she is going to try to think over what to get Nyx.

Idea of a gift

Days went by as the ponies were spending the holiday at the Crystal Empire. Nyx was having a great time with Rainbow Dash when Twilight was out. Twilight even noticed that Rainbow really loves being with Nyx and having her around. As for Twilight and Lunar they were shopping for the family. From time to time, Glowing Aurora came to play with Nyx, which both of them developed a friendship. Now in the present, Nyx was seen with Rainbow, Reading Nyxs book, Past Sins. "This book is really great Nyx. They even got every detail right." Rainbow said.

"I really enjoy it...... man i really hope this hearths warming is better the that one."

Rainbow remembered hearing about that one hearths warming, She knew it was best to not let Nyx remember that hearths warming holiday since it was kind of a bad one. "Relax Nyx. We promise that this one will be better."

"I hope it is."

Rainbow and Nyx then put the book down and Rainbow decided to get Nyx and herself something to snack on. She got up and walk to the door. "Nyx i'll be back, i'm gonna get something for us to snack on. Tex do you mind watching Nyx?" Rainbow said

"I will watch Nyx. She is my friend after all.' said Tex

Rainbow then left the room and Tex got up and Notice Nyx had a sad look on her face. "Nyx, whats wrong?"

"I Just hope Rainbow gets me what I want for hearths warming. She told me it was gonna be hard. The only thing i can think of is something relating to me, her, and the Equestrian Emeralds."

"You mean.....Like a miniature statue?"

"Kinda."

Suddenly, Rainbow came in with food. Tex even noticed Rainbow coming in. Nyx was smiling at Rainbow, whom smiled back. after they ate Nyx and Tex followed Rainbow and went to the living room of the castle, but were stopped by a guard. "You're Nyx are you not?"

"Y...Yes?"

"You got a visitor."

The guard gave a salute an Glowing Aurora showed up. Nyx couldn't help but smile at her friend. Glowing also smiled. The guard then returned to his post and left Rainbow and the two fillies be. "Heh heh, looks like your friend came over Nyx." Rainbow said with a chuckle.

"yea"

Rainbow. Tex and the two fillies then headed towards the living room. Nyx even bought cards for a card. Time went by and Nyx was winning. Tex then peaked from behind. "Rainbow can I talk to you in private?" Tex asked.

"Sure. Nyx stay here with Glowing. I'll be back."

Nyx nodded and she continued her card game with Glowing. Rainbow followed Tex to a place where Nyx can't hear them. "What is it Tex. Why don't you want Nyx hearing?"

"I think I know the perfect gift for Nyx."

"What."

"Remember she said something to make her feel awesome like you?"

"yeah"

Making sure Nyx didn't come looking for them, Tex was relieve Nyx was obeying. "You should maybe have a minature statue of her and yourself crafted."

When Tex said this, Rainbows eyes widen. She knew that was a good Idea. She nodded and headed back to living room with Tex. "Hey Nyx can you behave for Tex while I go talk to Cadence for a moment?" Rainbow said with a smile.

"Okay."

With that Rainbow headed her way to Cadences chambers, she needed to ask her if a minature can be created for Nyx. As she walked to the throne room door the guards block the door. "I need to speak to Cadence." Rainbow said in a polite manner. The guards then saluted and allowed Rainbow Dash to enter the throne room. As she entered, she saw Cadence in her throne.

"Rainbow Dash, What do you need?"

"I'm just wondering if you can help me get a minature statue of Me and Nyx together made for Nyx. Tex told me that Nyx may want one as a gift."

"Of course Rainbow. I will have one made via a Royal Family request. since you may not have the bits, I will be glad to pay for it for you. Anything to make our Niece and your goddaughter happy."

"Thanks."

With everything out of the way, Rainbow headed back to Nyx. She was going to spend the whole time relaxing with Nyx. With Cadance handling the minature statue, Rainbow is now happy she got Nyx's gift in the making.

They day had finally came. The day Nyx had been waiting for has arrived. The past day's in the Crystal Empire, Rainbow, Nyx, Twilight, Lunar and the others were having the funnest times of their lifes. Nyx met with glowing one last time, however glowing had a early Hearths Warming. That day, Glowing Aurora and her family left the Empire and headed straight to Ponyville. Before the left, Nyx had warned them about Pinkie Pie, which they acknowledge the warning and made sure they were prepare for the welcome party Pinkie will throw for them.

Now in the present, Nyx was seen sleeping soundly. Tex was sleeping too, and along with Rainbow Dash. As the morning came, Rainbow woke up. She then Realized today is the day. She began to prepare herself for this day. A few days ago, Rainbow got word that the thing she ordered, with the help of Cadence, was sent to Cadence. She then looked at Nyx who was sleeping. "Nyx..... hey Nyx, wake up" Rainbow whispered

"Few more minutes." Nyx mumbled

"I guess you don't want your presents for hearths warming."

Suddenly Nyx's eyes shot open like glass was breaking. She forgot Hearths Warming was today. She got up and hugged Rainbow. She then came to Tex's side. "Wake up Tex, it's hearths warming." Nyx said

Tex then got up and the group began to head to have breakfast with the others. Twilight and Lunar hugged their daughter and head towards the dining room. As they ate, Nyx was looking down. She was worried. She was worried the thing she wanted never came. Rainbow noticed and pulled a wing over her. "What's wrong Nyx?" Rainbow asked her goddaughter

"I....I....I'm just worried that I may not get the gift I wanted." inquired Nyx

"Nyx.....you will have to wait and see. My lips are sealed, remember?"

Nyx knew what Rainbow met. It was a surprise. After they finished, they headed to the living room of the Crystal Empire Palace and they begun presents exchange. Twilight got a new spell book, Lunar got a pendant that reminded him of his deceased loved one that was killed by Dark Shadow, Rainbow on the other hoof received a Daring Do Plushie. Through out the time, they were exchanging gifts, Nyx got a lot of neat stuff she enjoyed, but she was hoping for the one gift she wanted. Suddenly Cadence perched up. "Looks like Nyx got something, and it's from Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow came by Cadence, and bought the present to Nyx. Nyx's eyes were sparkling. Is.....is it really? she thought. Rainbow put a hoof on Nyx's shoulder. "Go ahead, open it." Rainbow said softly

Nyx nodded and began to open up the present, she kept saying to herself "please be it." The whole family was watching Nyx open the present. Nyx had her eyes close as she was opening it. Suddenly, She heard gasps. Nyx then opened her eyes, and looked infront of her, and she was surprised. The present contained a miniature Statute that could fit on her dresser. It was a Statue of her, with the Equestrian Emeralds, and Rainbow Dash. On the golden base, it had words imprinted on it saying "For the best goddaughter in equestria." Nyx looked at Rainbow. She couldn't think of anything to say. The present she always wanted, it finally came. She wrapped her hoofs around Rainbow. "Thank you Rainbow Dash." Nyx said in joy

"You're welcome Nyx. Happy hearths warming eve."

WIth everything out of the way, Cadence decided to clean up. Twilight and Lunar took, Nyxs statue and put it in the box, so once they get home they could put it on Nyx's shelf. Nyx realized she just had, the most amazing hearths warming ever.

return of Lumberjack

Throughout the week, Nyx was with Rainbow Dash, as Twilight and Lunar were finishing up their shopping. Twilight Velvet had a nice conversation with Rainbow and got to know her better, and Twilight velvet gladly allowed Rainbow to be part of the family. Shining Armor had to help Cadence with putting in Rainbows order for the minature statue for Nyx.

Now Rainbow was seen getting ready with Nyx. Twilight said she is taking Rainbow and Nyx around the Crystal Empire with Lunar. As they left, Rainbow was walking by Nyxs side, which Nyx was happy being with both her mother, father and Rainbow. Twilight even noticed that Nyx likes Rainbow alot and Rainbow likes Nyx. "I never knew you had a heart for Nyx, Rainbow."Twilight said.

"What can I say Twi, I love Nyx. She's fun to be around."

Through out the time the group walked around the market place, they were seeing alot of ponies shopping. Nyx was glad those ponies she once saw at the arcade haven't been roaming. They past by Glowing Aurora, whom waved at them. Nyx waved back to them. To Twilight, Nyx told her about Glowing and how She protected Glowing from bullies at the arcade. As they walked through the market place, both Nyx and Twilight smelled something familiar. Wait, is that smell what I think it is? Is he really hear. thought Twilight.

As they headed towards the smell, both Twilight and Nyx saw a familiar pony. It was Lumberjack. Twilight was shocked to see him hear and so was Nyx. "Lumberjack? Is that really you?" asked Twilight.

Upon hearing the voice Lumberjack turned around and saw the pony who said his name. "Twilight long time no see." said Lumbejack

"I's been a year since we saw you Lumberjack." said Nyx

"Ah it's little Snowflake."

Rainbow looked at Nyx chuckling. "Little Snowflake? what kinda name is that Nyx?"

"It's a nickname he gave me Rainbow."

Lumberjack then looked at Rainbow, which his eyes went wide as he saw her Rainbow mane. "Who's she?"

"That's my godmother, Rainbow Dash. She is my moms best friend." Nyx said.

"Well i be, so your snow...er i mean Nyxs godmother."

"yes."

Through out the time, Lumberjack talked to the group while working He said that the reason he is in the Crystal Empire, is because he decided to do buisness there while a friend of his is doing the buisness in Canterlot. Lumberjack also met Lunar, which he was quite happy that Twilight has a coltfriend. After a friendly talk the group decided to head back to the palace, before they did, Lumberjack wished them a happy hearths warming eve and a happy new year.
