Author's Note

Hey, y'all! Sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted to get a festive one in before my two week break. Merry Christmas, everyone!!!!
P.S. please go easy on me, guys. This is my first story, and there are some people who are putting on a lot of pressure. With that plus all the things going on, it's hard to take. I'm seeing a counselor right now, life's that bad.

A Happy Hearth's Warming

After a while of embracing each other, Celestia finally released Joey. "Let us go to our quarters, Luna" she said. Then she looked at Joey. "C'mon, sweetie," she said, kneeling down. Joey got on, and the three continued down to Celestia and Luna's sleeping quarters.

They came up on a giant gold and silver door, with the equestrian flag etched onto it. Celestia opened the door and trotted in with her sister and Joey. Joey carefully slid off so he wouldn't fall to the floor. His new mom would probably overeact.

They all sat down on blankets that were laid out on the floor. This was probably where they slept. He continued to sit himself. The blankets were surprisingly comfy. "Joey?" Celestia said. "Do you mind sleeping here for tonight with your new mother?" There was a hopeful look in her eyes. Damn, pushy. Still, he felt like it would be awesome. He nodded his head, and was immediately pulled in by her magic and into a short hug. When they released, Joey laid his head on Celestia's barrel. She nuzzled him back. Luna then snuggled in alongside, making a nice kind-of-blanket for Joey.

As Joey started to slowly pass out, He felt Celestia gingerly kiss his forehead. "Good night, my prince," she said. "Good........night.........mom," Joey said in between yawns. Then he fell asleep like a rock. The two sisters smiled at the new addition two their family.

"I will make sure he has good dreams, Tia."

"Thanks, Luna.

Joey woke up that morning to a very happy pink alicorn that was staring inches from his face. "Morning, new cousin!!" Cadence chirped as she wrapped him in another bear hug. Thank the Lord is wasn't as long this time.

Thank you, Lord, Joey thought.

"You wanna grab some breakfast?" Cadence said cheerily. "Sure," Joey replied.

Before he knew it, she scooped him up on her back and trotted off to the kitchen. When they reached the kitchen, the two sisters who were already eating couldn't help but giggle. Cadence lifted him off her back with her magic and put him on a chair next to his mom. "That was unnecessary, Cadence," Joey laughed. "Humans are capable of walking." Cadence shook her head. "It was for ME!" she said joyfully.

Then Blueblood walked in. When he saw Joey, a look of pure disgust crawled onto his face. "Why is that THING still here?" he asked, half growling. Celestia frowned. "He's not a thing he's my SON!!!" she said, angrily. Blueblood's look went from disgust to smug. "So, you're her son?" he asked Joey. Joey nodded, mouth full of food. "Then just kill yourself and save everyone the trouble!" he said, laughing. Everyone gasped. He did NOT just say that.

Joey swallowed. "If I were to kill myself, I'd just climb to the top of your ego and jump off down to your IQ level," he chuckled. Blueblood stopped laughing. Everyone looked at Joey in surprise, then back at Blueblood, trying not to laugh.

ROASTED.

"I'll bet there isn't one good thing about you!!" Blueblood shot back, face turning red with rage. "Well," started Joey, "The only positive thing about YOU is you HIV test, fuckface." Blueblood just screamed in rage and ran out of the room. Everyone was laughing their heads off.

"What?" said Joey. "He should of seen it coming."

A whole day had gone by. A whole day being with a new family. A ROYAL family, too. What are the chances?

Well, it was the day Luna was talking about. Hearth's Warming Eve. They went to a play earlier that day, and that helped Joey understand better. It was about the three races of ponies: pegusi, unicorns, and earth ponies. They all basically hated each other. With all that hate built up, they summoned these demon-thingies called Windigoes, which made everything winter. There was more, but it was such a long play. Still interesting, though.

After the play, Celestia took Joey back to the castle. While they were in the carriage, Joey was looking out the window, taking in all the sights and smells of Canterlot. There was an Arabian style resturant that they passed by called "The Tasty Treat". He would have to try it out sometime. Then he saw a sign above an indoor sports arena. It read:

Indoor Soccer League Signups In a Week

His eyes widened. "No way!" he exclaimed. Luna and Celestia looked at him inquinsitively. He motioned to the sign as they rode by. "Barely any people know about you, hon," said Celestia. "I don't think it's a good idea." Joey nodded in understanding. "Alright," he said.

Soon, they made it back to the castle. "You ready to come open gifts?" asked Celestia. Joey immediately perked up. "I got awesome presents for you guys. I can't wait!" he exclaimed. "We have presents for you, to." Joey just shrugged. Heart of gold, thought Celestia.

When they arrived at the castle, Joey bolted out of the carriage. He had to make it to the kitchen.

After admiring all the gifts after the exchange, Celestia, Luna, and Joey all admired the fire. Celestia kissed Joey's cheek and nuzzled him the entire time. It was weird at first, but Joey got used to it. He drifted off to sleep, thinking about the last couple of days.

This was a Hearth's Warming to remember.
