It is but a mere week until Hearth Warming's eve in Ponyville, everypony is bursting with excitement, snow covered the ground in a beautiful white tapestry. Our favorite timberwolf was walking through the marketplace, looking for gifts for his two favorite, and only roommates.

He had a scarf and specially made saddlebags on his sides, he had a list out, knowing exactly what Vinyl and Octavia wanted. His first stop was the post office, he had to get some stamps and send a package to Luna, if he doesn't she might murder him, he shivered at the thought.

And she might come over under the mistletoe, depending. But he was still walking on the way, his feet freezing under him, wood can get cold.

He looked to the side and saw a mare paying 5 bits for a small cherry, he knew it was a rip off, but didn't want to interfere.

He looked to his left and saw Rainbow Dash and Applejack chatting, Prime wanted to try and chat with the two of them, but that will have to wait, he's busy.

He finally arrived at the post office, it wasn't big, to the front was the front desk, to the corners were different kinds of boxes behind glass, trying to look elegant. He just stared when he saw who was behind the counter.

It was none other than Derpy herself. She looked up from her magazine and stared at him as well, "H-hi, ahem, welcome to the post office, how might I help?"

Prime walked up to the counter and replied, "I need to send this to Canterlot, to a pen pal." He placed a small box on the counter, Derpy grabbed it with her mouth and placed it on a small scale. She stared at it for a few seconds and replied.

"That'll be 20 bits."

Prime took a bag of bits out of his saddlebag and counted out 20, he gave them to her and asked, "So, you free anytime? Maybe tonight?"

She blushed a bit and replied, "Well, tonight is free, yes, I'd like that. Maybe 7?"

"Sounds perfect." Replied Prime, "I'll see you then." Prime walked out, mentally jumping around, celebrating, while outside he was just walking with a fat grin on his face.

His next stop was a small music shop, he needed a nice bow for Octavia, and he needs to start the portal up and pay Element back for getting a Numark Mixtrack Pro II for Vinyl.

He made his way to the music shop, he opened the door and saw a nicely lit shop, various musical instruments were nicely placed to attract ponies. Behind the far back counter was a blue pegasus mare with pink hair tied back.

She wore a black jacket and had many piercings all around her body, she had a black mane with bright cyan streaks in it. She looked up with green eyes that had a lot of eye shadow under them.

She didn't see him, she just said in a very tired and bored tone, "Welcome to the Rockin-store, if you need help just holler." She flipped the page of her magazine, Prime looked harder at the interior.

It was pretty well lit with multiple isles, all oak wood with each one showing off a different instruments, such as a guitar at the front of the isles with all the guitar stuff down it.

He walked down about 4 isles until he saw a beautiful cello at the front of a decently long isle. He thought, "Wow, she would love this, one of the best cello's I've ever seen." He saw that the bottom of the display showed the number, 250k bits, "Sweet Chrysalis! I've never seen that many bits for one item before, nope!"

He walked down the isle, seeing different cello's on the right, and various strings and bows on the left, none looked amazing. Until he got to the end, his eyes lit up more than usual when he saw a beautiful basswood bow with a very shiny string.

He looked at the price, 60 bits, "Meh, Hearth Warmings eve comes only once, screw it as Element would say." He picked it up and headed up to the counter to pay.

He stood in front and waited for her to look up, she held up a hoof and said in a very emo tone, "Gotta finish this article, wait."

Prime was very patient, unlike Element who hates waiting on anything, and has had his rear handed to him for it on multiple occasions, just an interesting fact.

She turned the page and looked up, her eyes widened and her mouth dropped, Prime kept a straight face, but he loved seeing ponies faces when they see him.

Prime said, "Um, yes, I'd like to purchase this bow for a friend." She nodded and said.

"Um, t-that'l-ll be 60 b-b-bits si-ir." He pulled out 60 bits from his saddlebag and placed them on the counter, he grabbed the bow and said.

"Have a good day Ma'am." He walked out of the store, leaving her there, just staring, not moving, is she even breathing?

Prime started his small hike to the house, he looked around, ponies bundled up, fillies and colts making snowponies and having snowball fights.

Prime wasn't chatting with anyponies, but he wanted to get back and hide the gift before Octavia and Vinyl get home, they were both out doing record covers.

He walked in front of the house and pulled out his key, he unlocked the door and stepped in, he made his way upstairs and opened the door.

His room was freshly dusted and looking very tidy, he pulled a box out of the bottom on his bed and hid the bow in it, he slid it back under and thought, "I wish it would get here soon."

And using the magic of being the writer/god, here's Hearth Warming's eve.

Outside there it was night, the ground covered with a fresh snow, And inside the house was nice and warm. Vinyl, Octavia, and Prime were all inside that warm house.

Prime and Vinyl sat on Octavia's couch while she played 'Silent Night'. Vinyl was almost asleep behind her glasses, while Prime was just soaking in the beautiful music.

She finished the song and asked, "How was it?"

"I really liked it man, it's something I should have paid for." He glanced at Vinyl and bumped her with his shoulder, she sat up and nodded. Octavia smiled and turned around to put her old bow up, Prime whispered, "You're welcome."

Octavia asked, "So, what now?"

Prime quickly replied, "Oh, I need to make my Mom's secret hot cocoa, want some?" They both nodded, "Coming up." He got up and walked over to the little kitchen, he got out eggnog, chocolate powder, peppermint bark, all that good stuff.

Octavia asked, "Um, is all that healthy?"

"Not that I know of, but I get this once a year, so no worries." He heated up the stove and began to cook the eggnog.

Octavia asked something else, "Well, I almost forgot to ask, but is your Mom coming over?"

Prime happily replied, "She's coming tomorrow, trains today are so expensive, tomorrow no pony wants to travel, slightly cheaper, I think. Something like that, and she needs to make sure all the cats are fed. Why do you ask?"

"I was curious, she's a very nice pony." He nodded and added the peppermint. Stirring all the while, "I'm lucky, normally I would be on the road to the next show."

Prime replied, "That sucks, but at least you got this season off."

"I do, and it is nice to relax once in awhile, ask Vinyl, she does nothing but relax." Vinyl snorted at that comment, "I'm kidding..... Kind of."

Prime laughed, "That's rich, now, once I pour this, wanna open presents? As it is tradition." Octaiva and Vinyl nodded their heads, "Alright, what I've been waiting for, now, just one. So go pick them." He picked up the pot and started pouring into mugs.

They both pulled out two presents, Vinyl had a slim, and square present, and Octavia had a small, long box. "Ah, those two, alright, let me just get mine." He slid both of them the cups.

Octavia and Vinyl took a sip and their eyes opened up, never had they tasted cocoa so good. "Oh my, this's amazing Prime." Vinyl couldn't close her eyes behind her glasses.

Prime walked up from the tree holding a envelope, from the two of them. "Ah, our card, good choice." Said Octavia.

"Come on, open it." Said Prime, she unwrapped the box and opened it, her eyes widened even more.

"Oh sweet Celestia, a basswood bow, these are very expensive, thank you." Vinyl unwrapped hers and pulled out a album with, 'Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971 - 1975' she smirked and nodded, "That means thank you Prime." Said Octavia.

Prime chuckled, "I figured." He cut the letter open and pulled out a green card, it said, "To a very special pony." He opened it and it read, "You make life interesting, weird, and very fun. Thank you for giving us memories happy memories. Signed Vinyl and Octavia."

"Wow, thank you two, what's this." He pulled out a slit of paper, "Holy crud! This is a VIP ticket to a Coloratura show! I love her music, old and new stuff." They all gathered in a giant group hug, that spirit keeping all windigos away from the entire town.

Happy Hearths Warming everyone!

Author's Note

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas humans, merry Christmas. Sorry for the long wait, but I've had some IRL things to deal with, but luckily I passed all of my classes, had to beg for a C in math, math is not my major. 5 classes along with a high school class over.

And I'm working on probably my biggest project, over 100K words, and not finished yet, it is the most daring story I've wrote. Hoping to post it soon, wanna finish writing it.

And sorry for no Halloween, truly wanted to write one, but I was just way too busy at that time.

One more thing, Merry Christmas to all of you who read this, and for barring with my poor writing.
