Winter Wrap Up (Edited)

Solar slept happily in his warm bed with not a care in the world. He rolled over to sleep on his stomach as his snuggle buddy wasn't in bed with him. He kept on sleeping till his morning loving wife walked out of the bathroom. She saw her husband still sleeping in their bed.

"Solar wake up, its Winter Wrap Up day!"

"Honey just let me sleep." He said

"No the first day of spring is tomorrow, so everypony in Ponyville needs to clean up winter. Now get your butt out of bed." Said Twilight

"I get it that earth ponies clean up winter, unlike Canterlot, where my mother just switches over the seasons. But honey my mother hasn't raised the sun yet. So can you just let me sleep till the sun comes up," said Solar rolling over.

She rolled her eyes and grabbed her list. "Let's see: scarf, check: coat, check: boots, check: my loving husband refusing to get out of bed." Solar groaned as he heard his name. "Check. Isn't organization great."

"Yes dear, it sure is." Said Solar

Twilight walked down the stairs and made her way towards the front door. She opened it and saw it was still night, and no pony was out and about. She coughed before closing the door. She walked back up the stairs to the room. She entered as Solar looked at her entering.

"I guess maybe I was too early." Said Twilight

"You think dear." Said Solar

Twilight got out of her winter gear. She crawled back into bed, and Solar cuddled her as he used his magic to keep her and their unborn child warm.

***

Solar yawned as he stretched out his body. Twilight was walking happily with him. The sun was raised high into the sky, and that meant it was time to wrap up winter. Twilight awed at all the vests that everypony had on.

"Those must be the vests Rarity designed. Blue for the weather team, green for the plant team, and tan for the animal team. I wonder which team vest we'll be wearing." Said Twilight

"I know the one I want to be." Said Solar

"Oh which on?" Asked Twilight

"The one that puts me back into my bed with my head on my pillow." Said Solar

"Solar is all you think about is sleeping." Said Twilight

"No, I think about eating, snuggling with you, the girls and are passionate sessions." Said Solar

Twilight just rolled her eyes as the two continued forward. They reached Town Hall where Mayor Mare was standing in front about to give a speech.

"Thank you, everypony for being up bright and early. We need every single pony's help to wrap up winter and bring in spring." Ponies cheered as Solar just yawned. "Now, all of you have your vests and have assigned to your teams, so let's do even better than last year, and have the quickest Winter Wrap Up ever!" The ponies cheered even louder as Solar just let go of another yawn

"Oh isn't this exciting, Solar." Said Twilight

"I would still like to be in our bed." Said Solar

"Alright everypony, find your team and let's get this Winter Wrap Up going!" Said Mayor Mare

The ponies cheered till the area went dark, and a spotlight landed on Rainbow, and she began to sing

"Three months of winter coolness and awesome holidays."

Solar was always impressed that ponies would, at random times, burst out into song. He watched as the spotlight moved from Rainbow, making her freeze in place, and went over to Pinkie Pie.

"We've kept our hoovsies warm at home, time off from work to play."

"But the food we've stored is runnin' out, and we can't grow in this cold." Said Applejack

"And even though I love my boots, this fashion's getting old." Said Rarity

Solar left his wife grab her arm and take him off. The area lit up, and she began to sing.

"The time has come to welcome Spring and all things warm and green. But it's also time to say goodbye. It's winter we must clean. How can I help? I'm new you see. What does everypony do? How do I fit in without magic? I haven't got a clue."

After Twilight was done singing, which Solar loved when she did. The whole town of Ponyville began to sing.

"Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! Let's finish our holiday cheer. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap UP!"

"'Cause tomorrow spring." Said Applejack

"Is here!" Said Rainbow

"'Cause tomorrow spring is here!" Said everypony

"Bringing home the southern birds. A Pegasus' job begins. And clearing all the gloomy skies to let the sunshine in. We move the clouds, and we melt the white snow." Said Rainbow

"When the sun comes up. Its warmth and beauty will glow!" Said Pinkie and Rainbow

The sun comes out of the clouds and birds fly through the sky.

"Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! Let's finish our holiday cheer. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here, 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here!" Said everypony

"Little critters hibernate under the snow and ice." Said Rarity

"We wake up all the sleepy heads, so quietly and nice." Said Fluttershy

"We help them gather up their food, fix their homes below." Said Rarity

"We welcome back the southern birds." Said Fluttershy

"So their families can grow!" Said Rarity and Fluttershy

More animals appeared as they came out of hibernation.

"Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! Let's finish our holiday cheer. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here!" Said everypony

"No easy task to clear the ground, plant our tiny seeds. With proper care and sunshine, everyone it feeds. Apples, carrots, celery stalks, and colorful flowers, too. We must work so very hard." Said Applejack

"It's just so much to do!" Said Applejack and other ponies

Ponies toiled over the farm land.

"Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! Let's finish our holiday cheer. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!" Said everypony

"'Cause tomorrow Spring is here." Said Pinkie

"'Cause tomorrow Spring is here." Said everypony

The light went back to Twilight and Solar.

"Now that I know what they all do, I have to find my place. And help with all of my heart, tough task ahead I face. How will I do without my magic, help the Earth pony way? I wanna belong so I must do my best today. Do my best today!" Said Twilight

"Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! Let's finish our holiday cheer. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up! 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here. Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!" Said everypony

"'Cause tomorrow Spring is here, 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here, 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here!" Said Twilight

The area begins to darken as everypony disappears till it is only Twilight and Solar.

"I will never understand ponies and their strange need to spontaneously explode into song." Said Solar

"Whatever, but everypony belongs to a team. What should I do? Where should I go?" Said Twilight

"I wish I was back to bed." Said Solar

"Oh, will you stop complaining." Said Twilight

"All right team, you're clear for takeoff."

"Hey is Rainbow Dash." The two ran up to see Rainbow as she watched the sky. "Rainbow Dash." Rainbow to see Twilight and Solar running up to her.

"Hey Twilight and Solar, what's up?" Asked Rainbow

"Nothing much, just impressed with your singing voice." Said Twilight

"Hey, thanks." Said Rainbow blushing

"So what are you doing for Winter Wrap Up." Said Solar

"I'm sending off one of my flight crews to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter. Then I'm getting my teams to remove the snow and clouds." Said Rainbow

"Oh, can I help? How about if I help remove the clouds?" Said Twilight

Rainbow and Solar had looked at each other before Rainbow cleared her throat, stopping Twilight's rambling.

"That would be great if you had a particular item." Said Rainbow

"What?" Asked Twilight

"Honey, you need a pair of wings to help Rainbow." Said Solar

"Oh right." Said Twilight

"Sorry Twilight." Said Rainbow

She flew off into the sky causing Twilight to sigh in defeat. Solar walked up and rubbed her back.

"Great now what?" Asked Twilight

"Well, I'm going back to the library to check on the girls." Said Solar

"No your not, that's why we left Spike in charge of them." Said Twilight

"I have a feeling my brother is always going to be our babysitter for the girls." Said Solar

"Yes, when we need him to be. Now come on Solar, we have winter to wrap up. I'm determined to do my part to wrap up winter in Ponyville." Said Twilight

"Alright, let's see what the others are doing. Maybe I'll find something that I'm good at." Said Twilight

***

Solar and Twilight walked the roads of Ponyville. Twilight was searching for something she could do to help out Ponyville. Solar was just yawning as he followed his wife. Soon they saw Rarity and Twilight dragged her, still half asleep husband, towards Rarity.

"Hi, Rarity." Said Twilight

Rairty turned to see Twilight and Solar. "Hello, darlings."

"Rarity please tell me there is something I can help you do." Said Twilight

"Well, there is, you could help me make bird nests." Said Rarity

"Bird nests." Said Twilight

"Yes, when the weather team brings back the birds, they'll need a place to live and lay their eggs." Said Rarity

"The bird nests sure look beautiful and elegant." Said Twilight

"Thank darling, would either of you like to try your hand at it." Said Rarity

"Would I ever." Said Twilight

"Alright, you'll just need to take some straw and hay over there, and a little bit of branch. Then weave that together. Last is to take some ribbon and weave it through. Then you should have fabulous bird nest " Said Rarity

Twilight nodded as she understood everything. She began to take all the materials she needed. Rarity and Solar watched as Twilight began to work. Rarity nervously started to chuckle and smile as Twilight kept working. Solar just raised his eyebrow at his wife. Twilight smiled when she finished her work. What she had created a horrible bird nest.

"Well, what do you two think?" Asked Twilight

"Well, um darling, it's um." Said Rarity

"Honey going to be straight with you. We should condemn that bird's nest and set ablaze." Said Solar

"Solar, I'm sure the bird can use it for something." Said Rarity

"Yeah as either an outhouse or a campfire." Said Solar

"Solar please, all it needs is a little fine tuning. Nothing an expert like me can't do." Said Rarity

Rarity walked over and began to work on Twilight's bird nest. She started to mumble about ways to fix it. Solar walked up to Twilight and watched her mumble and work.

"Honey, I think we lost Rarity." He said

"I believe so, let's see what the others are doing." Said Twilight

"Not a bad idea." Said Solar

***

The two walked till they saw Pinkie skating on a frozen lake. They walked up to see what she was doing. She was skating on a frozen pond.

"Hellooooooo, Twilight and Solar!"

"Wow Pinkie, you are quite the skater." Said Twilight

"Yeah, I've been doing this since I was an itty-bitty little-wittle Twinkie-Pinkie. It just comes natural to me, which is why Mayor Mare designated me the lake scorer. I cut lines in the lakes with my skates. That way, when the rest of the weather team comes here to break the ice, it'll be easy as pie." Said Pinkie

"How clever. When the thick ice begins to melt, it'll break along the lines. Well, you sure have a lot of work ahead of you, there are quite a few lakes in Ponyville." Said Twilight

"Yeah tell me about it. Hey, want to help." Said Pinkie

"Tempting Pinkie, but I know I'm terrible with skates. Plus I would rather keep away from ice while pregnant." Said Twilight

"What about you Solar?" Asked Pinkie

"I can give it a shot." Said Solar

Solar created his magic and formed a set of skates on the end of his shoes. He got on the ice and began to slip around.

"You're a natural Solar, can you do anything else." Said Pinkie

"Oh, a challenge huh. Well, Pinkie, sit back and watch." Said Solar

Pinkie glided across the ice over to Twilight. Solar cracked his knuckles. He stretched, and he started to speed around the lake. He would make leaps and land them on one foot. He would skate on one foot before setting down his other and gain speed. He made figure eights easy. He would spin around and makes leaps int the air. He would land spinning and from that went back to skating around. Last was that he turned in place while raising his hands to the sky. He finished and heard clapping for him. He skated over to Pinkie and his wife.

"Wow, Solar that was incredible. Where did you learn to do all that?" Said Pinkie

"When you mother is the princess, you get thrown into a few things. Figure skating just happened to be one of those things." Said Solar

"Well, Pinkie you seem you have a lot of work. But do you have any idea where I could help." Said Twilight

"Hm, Fluttershy might need some help waking up animals. If you can't find anything to do there, Applejack never turns down help." Said Pinkie

"Thank you, Pinkie. Come on Solar, let's see what we can do Fluttershy." Said Twilight

"See you later Pinkie." Said Solar

"Bye." She said

***

Solar and Twilight began to walk where all the animals were hibernating. They both heard the sound of a bell and walked towards it and found Fluttershy talking to some just waking up hedgehogs.

"Aww, how cute." Said Twilight

"It sure is. Waking up my animal friends is my favorite part about Winter Wrap Up. When they wake up, I get to see them once again." Said Fluttershy

"Interesting way of waking up an animal from hibernation." Said Solar

"So what are you two doing done here?" Asked Fluttershy

"Well, Twilight has been searching for the perfect place for her. We first tried Rainbow, but no wings. Then Rarity, but let's just say that Twilight doesn't have an eye for making bird nests. We were at Pinkie's, but Twilight stayed off the ice because of our child, while I figured skated for them both. So we came here, seeing if you needed some help." Said Solar

"Oh, I would love some help. I have so many warrens and dens that I could some help." Said Fluttershy

"Well, that's why we are here." Said Twilight

"Thank you." She handed Twilight a bell. " Just ring the bell near the entrance, and that's all you need to do."

"Thank you, Fluttershy." Said Twilight

The two walked over to an entrance. Twilight took the bell and rang it in front of the hole.

"Time to wake up little friends." Twilight rang the bell again. "Oh, Solar I wonder what furry creature will come out."

The two waited and then out came the animals, but instead of furry creatures. They were scaly creatures. They hissed, and Twilight screamed and jumped into her husband's arms.

"Snakes!" She screamed

Fluttershy walked over as the snaked slithered away.

"Good morning." Said Fluttershy

"You never told me that snakes would be in one of the holes." Said Twilight

"You never asked what animals you were waking up." Said Fluttershy

"Come on Twilight. Snakes aren't that bad." Said Solar

"You and your love of scaly creatures and other creepy animals." Said Twilight

"Well, I think Twilight's finished with waking up animals. Hope you can wake up your animal friends in time. We are going to see what we can do at Applejack's." Said Solar

"Oh, well thank you for stopping by." Said Fluttershy

***

"Who would have thought it would be this hard to wrap up winter." Said Twilight

"Well, honey, it's only hard because you can't use your magic." Said Solar

"Yeah, sure is. With my cutie mark being in magical ability, it's hard not attempt to use magic to help out. But I have to do it the traditional way." Said Twilight

"Well, we still have Applejack's farm." Said Solar

"You're right. I still have one more place to try out." Said Twilight

The two made it to the farm. They saw Applejack commanding ponies in push carts that were clearing the ground of snow.

"Hi, Applejack." Said Solar

Applejack turned to see the married couple. "Nice tah see ya both."

"How's it going, Applejack?" Asked Twilight

"Oh, just dandy. A little slow startin', but peachy all the same. There's a lot of ground to clear, ya hear? We can't even start the plantin' and the waterin' until we get all these heaps a' snow hightailed outta here." Said Applejack

"Well, Applejack you're in luck. I'm here to help." Said Twilight

"I don't know Twilight." Said Applejack

"Just give me a chance." Said Twilight

"Well, I never turn down a hard worker. Just push that open snow plow and move the snow off the field." Said Applejack

"Oh thank you Applejack." Said Twilight

She ran off to the open snow plow. Solar and Applejack watched as Twilight tried to push the heavy snow plow. But then it began to move. Solar raised his eyebrow. I know for certain my wife shouldn't be able to push that plow. The only way is if she used magic. No, she wouldn't use magic.

"You're wife is terribly robust for such a little pony." Said Applejack

"I have to agree." Said Solar

The two continued to watch Twilight till Solar realized what her spell was. She used a come-to-life spell. But Solar started to watch the spell speed up the plow. That's not good. The plow started to move all over the place. Solar felt his heart almost stop when other plows nearly struck his wife. He sighed when she didn't get hit. But he knew his wife couldn't control the plow or her spell. Soon she started to condense a snowball in front of her plow. Soon the plow and giant snowball came at Solar and Applejack. Solar had no choice.

Applejack braced for impact, but nothing came. She looked to see Solar holding the snowball, the snow plow, and Twilight in his orange magic aura. He set down the plow and his wife. He used his magic to melt the snowball and then turned the water into steam. He released the steam into the air.

"Thanks, Solar." Said Applejack

"Hey, no problem." Said Solar

"Now tah ya, Twilight. Ya used magic when ya should've known we don't use magic." Said Applejack

"But I just wanted to help." Said Twilight

"Well, that's not how we do it here on my farm." Said Applejack

Twilight wanted to respond, but she had nothing. She walked away with her head hung low in shame. Solar sighed as he walked away trying to catch up to his wife.

***

"Twilight please come out of that bush." Said Solar

"No, I'm a winter failure." Said Twilight

"Oh, you weren't that bad." Said Solar

"Please Solar, I can't make nests, I can't wake animals, and I can't plow snow." Said Twilight

Solar just sighed as he saw Spike coming up.

"What's up brother?" He asked

"Nothing much, just letting my nieces run in whatever snow is left and by the look of it, a lot. They sure have plenty of snow left. Shouldn't they have cleaned up at least half of the snow? Also, where's Twilight." Said Spike

"I'm in the bush." Said Twilight

"Why are you in a bush?" Asked Spike

"Because she's hiding from her shame of failing to do anything to help clean up winter." Said Solar

"Oh, well I think anything could help them right now. By the look of it, Ponyville is going to be late for Spring." Said Spike

"Huh," said Twilight popping out of the bush.

"Yeah, just around you. The weather team hasn't melted much of the snow, barely any animals are awake or back, lakes aren't scored and still frozen, and the sky is still gloomy." Said Spike

"These ponies sure are disorganized." Said Solar

"Wait, they are." A smiled appeared on Twilight's face. "Solar I think I have an idea. Please, if you could, bring in my checklist and clipboard." Solar teleported in her clipboard and checklist. "Now I think I found what I can d to help clean up winter. Now let's go see Mayor Mare."

The crew walked up to Town Hall and saw ponies arguing all over the place.

"Man, I wonder how many times this happens every winter." Said Spike

"Solar honey, could you calm everypony." Said Twilight

"I can do that dear." Said Solar

Solar stepped through the ponies and made his way up to the front of Town Hall. Mayor Mare sighed when she saw the prince. He raised his hands and a large amount of clouds formed over the ponies. He snapped his fingers, and large booms of thunder went through the air.

"Now everypony, QUIET!" Said Solar

Everypony went quiet as they looked at the prince of Equestria.

"Much better, now will somepony calmly explain what the hay is going on. Now as a fair warning, if you all start speaking up, I keep creating thunder. Now one at a time, talk." Said Solar

"Well, I needed Rainbow tah melt the rest of the snow on the ground and trees." Said Applejack

"Yes, but it will flood my power little animal friends homes." Said Fluttershy

"I came to see why ponies were arguing when I saw what was happening. Pinkie made to big of chunks of ice and Rarity is still dealing with just one nest. So we aren't even going to make it in time." Said Mayor Mare

"I can see for myself with all the problems. Just walking through this town with my wife, I have never seen a more disorganized village in my whole life. The reason is that you ponies just work in your teams and not together. Sure you all have your team, but the only way to clean up winter is to work together. So I offer you all a solution to your problem. I present my pregnant wife and best organizer I have ever seen, Twilight Sparkle." Said Solar

Twilight walked up and kissed her husband with Spike following behind her. "Everypony, I'm here to help you get organized."

"But even with your help, we still will be late for Spring." Said Mayor Mare

"Not exactly Mayor Mare. With my organization skills and my husband's military leadership skills, we will get winter cleaned up for the first day of Spring. Now everypony let's get to work." Said Twilight

"Now I want to see each team's leaders. Now let's wrap up winter." Said Solar

The ponies cheered as Solar got each of the leaders. They told him what needed finishing and Twilight took it down and placed it so that it flowed perfectly together. Once finished, Solar and Twilight nodded at each other. Together they commanded the pony teams together to clean up winter. They first got the nest building team together, and Solar showed the quickest way to do it as he had a crew gather up enough supplies. Once they finished, ponies placed them in trees, and Spike checked off that the bird's nest on Twilight clipboards.

Next, Solar and Twilight moved towards the scoring teams. Using a map of the lake, Solar was able to design the best ways to cut the lake mathematically. In turn, he told Pinkie how to score the lake. Pinkie understood and with her team, scored the lake. Spike checked off the scoring on Twilight's clipboard.

They moved to the farm as it was time to clear it up. They arrived as Applejack stood on a hill with a flag in her hands. The two nodded at her, and Applejack waved the flag back and forth. The plows saw this and began to move. Behind them was land plows, that transferred the land for the seeding. Behind those was ponies spreading seeds out into the ground. Twilight and Applejack fist bumped as Solar nodded. They now moved to see Fluttershy as Spike marked off seeds on Twilight's clipboard.

Instead of doing it one at a time, Fluttershy had rigid up a system thanks to Solar. Fluttershy pulled a rope, and the bells began to ring. In minutes, animals started to come from their homes. They watched as the hibernating animals returned from their sleep. Twilight leaped back into her husband's arms as some snakes began to slither away. Spike and Solar just rolled their eyes as Twilight shacked. Fluttershy smiled and looked up to the bird on her head. It started to tweet, and Solar looked up to the clouds.

Rainbow was next. Solar had personally taken charge teaching Rainbow a military tactic that would remove all the clouds and everything else. They all watched as a massive funnel cloud of pegasi came down through the clouds. As they flew, the clouds and snow disappeared from the land. He smiled at his handy work, but there was plenty of work to be done.

The ponies worked through the night, with the supervision of Solar. Since he worked as a guard, he took a few night shifts. His wife on the other hands slept when she could. Solar monitored the tired ponies, but the work on the farm was the most important factor. Once finished and the sun had risen, the southern birds returned in flocks. Solar smiled when he saw the birds take to the new nests and that the ponies had begun to water the ground. Spike looked at Solar and checked the final item off the list. They looked around as Spring had come on time to Ponyville.

Twilight walked up to her husband and as she saw the beauty of Spring come across the lands of Ponyville. They smiled at the completed work.

"I can't believe it. Spring is here! On time! And we have both of you to thank for it. If it weren't for your organizational skills and leadership skills, we wouldn't have made it." Said Mayor Mare

"No Mayor Mare, it was a team effort. Solar and I were able to help you get together as a team." Said Twilight

"Well, since you still helped every team, we had an official vest made for you. We give you, Twilight, the title, 'All-Team Organizer.'" Said Mayor Mare

A few birds came up and gave Twilight a vest. She happily accepted it. But Twilight saw no vest for her loving husband.

"What about you, Solar?" Asked Twilight

"I'm the Prince of Equestria, Twilight. It's my job to help my ponies of Equestria." Said Solar

"Well thank you everypony for such an honor." Said Twilight

"Well, I, at this moment, declare winter is wrapped up on time." Said Mayor Mare

Ponies cheered as Twilight leaned on her husband as she looked out at the beauty of the town she called home. Once the sun had gone down, everypony returned home. Solar and Twilight gathered up their daughters with Spike and went back home. Solar sat on his bed just getting the bed ready. Twilight came out stretching out her body.

"Solar, you wouldn't mind taking a note for me." Said Twilight

"Not at all." Solar grabbed a quill and parchment paper. "Alright, go crazy honey."

"Dear Princess Celestia, Winter Wrap Up was one of the most special things I've ever been a part of here in Ponyville. It helped me to learn we all have hidden talents, and if we're patient and diligent, we're sure to find them, and as always, with good friendship and teamwork, ponies can accomplish anything." She sighed as she looked at Solar who read over the letter. "How was that one?"

"Lovely as ever." Said Solar

"Then let's send it off and get some sleep, we do have daughters to take care of." Said Twilight

"Yes, we do." Said Solar

He sent off the letter and opened the covers for his wife. Twilight slipped in, and Solr kissed her on the cheek. She smiled as she laid on her side as Solar wrapped his hands around her. He rubbed her stomach as he couldn't wait for his newborn child.

"Our child is nearly here." Said Twilight

"Very true." Said Solar

The two snuggled up and fell asleep next to each other. Knowing that the day was growing closer and Twilight would give birth to their very first born child.
