The Story Of Many

A Late Christmas Story

Throughout all of Ponyville, was a silent night.
When it came to beauty, this was a sight.

Bonebeat stayed in Shadow's house.
Everything was silent, even the mouse.

Bonebeat woke up, in the thirst for milk.
He mistaken his sheets, which were made of silk.

He got up, bumped and rubbed his head.
Shadow turned to him," Go back to bed," he said.

Bonebeat still went and got something to drink.
But he spilled it, since it's filled to the brink.

He looks out the window, seeing a tree tip down.
He ran out, knowing it's important to this town.

He put it back to place, patting the top.
Thanks to this, the big star dropped.

He quickly swooped down, saving it in time.
If he had a chance, he would sing a chyme.

But when he got down, he saw one present gone,
He then looked up, to see it's almost dawn.

He flew around frantically, looking everywhere
When he spotted a stallion, scratch that a mare.

He flew down again, and stood in front.
But she hit him with her hoof, thank Luna it's blunt.

He trapped her again, fiercer than a ghost that says boo
To see it's only a filly, much like Scootaloo.

"What are you doing out here in the dark?
To Hearth's Warming Eve, you've almost made a mark."

"Why are you talking like Zecora?
Wait, where's that hat you wear called a fedora?"

She gasped and closed her mouth with her scraps.
Bonebeat shrugged, because he doesn't give many craps.

"I dunno, but something smells really fishy,
And I'm not talking about your hood which is iffy."

"Do you think we're under a spell?
A curse that temporarily dwells?"

"Now I'm freaked, we should go.
Now, before the moon is low!"

They charged through Ponyville, fear in their eyes.
All the while, they try to escape their demise.

They found zecora, within her hut.
They felt sore everywhere, even their butt.

"Zecora, I think we're under a spell,
Do you think you can make us well?"

"I'll have a look, I'll see what I can do.
Make sure you do not run off Scootaloo."

Within minutes of studying, a decision was made.
They are under a spell, if they wait they'll fade.

They must return the gift, before dawn breaks
They should not fail, for Ponyville's sakes.

They rushed through the trees, Bonebeat breathing rappidly.
Scootaloo on the other hoof, was starting to feel heavy.

When they got to the town, the moon now low,
Scootaloo stopped, making Bonebeat unslow.

He rushed through the buildings, daylight too close
He knew the threat, and what it posed.

He threw the gift, it slides into the tree,
And just like that, Ponyville was free.

Bonebeat stared at the tree, wondering what's gonna happen. Usually a spell ends in a flashy way. When he didn't see anything change he spoke to Scootaloo once she got in earshot.

"I think I just saved Ponyville!" He said, smiling. "By the way Scootaloo, do not steal a present again," he added. Scootaloo nods. As soon as daylight was in full view, Shadow Heart seemingly teleported beside Bonebeat and cleared his throat.

"Someone had spilt my milk and left the door open!" He said. Beat smiled sheepishly.

"You didn't cry over spilt milk did you?" He ask. Shadow growled.

"You better have an explanation," he said.

"Ponyville's tree was in danger, Scootaloo stole a present, turned out Ponyville's under a spell, me and Scootaloo returned the gift, and finally saved Ponyville," Bonebeat said. Scootaloo nods. Shadow sat stunned for a few seconds, and puts his hoof on his for head.

"Alright, I believe you this one time, because we do get in danger a lot, and after Fireheart's release, a lot of trouble brewed in Equestria. This spell you talked about seems like something he'd do," he said.

Later

Everyone is happy today at Hearth's Warming, no one knows about what transpired. Scootaloo had gotten a new scooter, Bonebeat has his own portable DJ board, Shadow has a new stethoscope, which he desperately needed. Pastel, out of a joke, had gotten a pirates sword. She used it to try and slash Sparkstrike for giving it to her, but failed. Smiles Galore has a 100 jokebook, which everyone almost choked Bonebeat for. Sparkstrik got a free ticket to the next Wonderbolts show, and Sunset Flames got a fire helmet.

"Yo Violet, follow me! I have something cool to show you!" Bonebeat says, pointing to Sugarcube Corner. She followed him to see Smiles working with Pinkie on a Hearth's Warming cake for Everyone in Ponyville. Pastel drooled with hunger at the cake. It wasn't finished so she couldn't touch it. As soon as Beat walked in, Smiles giggled uncontrollably. She pointed at the mistletoe at the door frame. Bonebeat looks up and blushes. Pastel smiles, spins him around, pecks his cheek, spins him around again, and continues walking. Beat on the other hoof is staring into space with one sentence coming out of his mouth.

"What the heck just happened?" He asked himself.
