//-------------------------------------------------------// The Nights before Christmas -by Zayajackson- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The First Night //-------------------------------------------------------// The First Night The First Night The time was 2am, and the date was December 20th. I woke up to get a glass of water, and I thought about opening a gift early. I walked to the living room to see if any of my presents were there and they weren't. “Where else could presents be?” I thought to myself. Then a thought came to me. “ The Basement!” I said in excitement and walked towards the basement. I walked down into the basement as quietly as I can to not wake my mom and Dad. As soon as got down in the Basement, I had to make a number of turns before making it into the the main part of the basement. Then I saw a number of rooms to check through to find where the presents. As I checked through the rooms I eventually found the room with the presents in it. “Found them!” I said in a sing song voice. I look at the gifts and notice a single box on a Table. As I looked at the box wondering why it stood out from the others. I took the top of the present off and I saw another box that had the name “Tattlepony” and I pulled the second box out and saw the toy. “Ahh, it's such a cute toy!” I said, ready to open the toy and take it out to play with it. Before I took it out of it's box, I examined it first and I saw a text that said “it really talks, and Eats! And has a brushable Mane and tail!” “Yay!” I said, Grabbing Tattlepony and pulling it out. “Hi, I'm Tattlepony and I'll be your best friend!” Tattlepony said. “Ahhh! I love my Tattlepony already!” I said, hugging the toy Foal pony. “Feed Me!” The Tattlepony said. “Feed you?” I said, looking at the box again. “It really Eats and Talks. Okay!” I said, walking out of the basement and towards the fridge. “Feed Me!” Tattlepony repeated. As I reach the fridge, I opened it and grabbed a small Grape and put it in Tattlepony’s mouth and watch as it actually ate it. “Brush My Mane!” Tattlepony called out. “Okay, Where's the brush?” I thought. As I looked around trying to find Tattlepony’s brush and eventually found it in the living room. “Brush Me!” Tattlepony said. “Okay, okay.” I said, Grabbing the brush and gently brushed Tattlepony’s Mane. After about 5 brushes, Tattlepony’s Mane was nice and Smooth to the touch. “(Yawns) I'm sleepy.” Tattlepony said Softly and began slowly closing their eyes and open them again. “Okay, Let's get you back to your box.” I said rubbing Tattlepony’s nice mane. As I walked back down to the basement, The lights weirdly went off and it was dark. After that, Tattlepony’s Eyes suddenly opened and it began shaking. “It-It's Dark!” Tattlepony said, as it started to shout in fear of the dark. “Shhh, It's okay, let's get your to your box.” I said, Starting to run down the basement. After I ran for a few seconds, I reached the main room in the basement. “Ahhh!!!” Tattlepony shouted and shaking even more. I ran to Tattlepony’s box and The lights came back on and Tattlepony stopped, looking still shaking out of a bit of fear and Stopped shaking and went back to their tired state. “Good Night Tattlepony.” I said, Putting it back in its box. “Night, night.” Tattlepony said, weakly and closed its eyes. I closed Tattlepony’s box and wrapped it back up. After that, I was tired and ready to go to sleep. Before I walked away I saw a miniature Pony in the form of a foal and was a solid toy and looked like it was sleeping. I picked it up, and turned around and looked around for any more of them. And I found one by the Washing Machine. “Well I think that's it.” I said, walking out of the basement. As I got back upstairs I walked to my room and saw another miniature foal at the front door. “Hmm, how did this get up here?” I said, Picking up and adding it with the others. After that, I walked into my room and saw another on my dresser next to my bed. I picked it up, and looked at it. “Well, I guess I'll collect them because they're so small and so cute!” I said, Placing them on my dresser with the one that was already there. (Yawn) I'm going to sleep now.” I said, laying on my bed, got under my cover and closed my eyes and went to sleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Second Night //-------------------------------------------------------// The Second Night The Second Night The Second Night I wake up the next night to a distance, but loud clanking noise coming from somewhere. “Huh? What was that noise?” I said rubbing my eyes, then getting out of the bed. As I got out of my room, I decided to look around for anything that can be causing the noise. As I walk through the house, I heard the noise coming from the basement. “The Basement? Who started the dryer?” I said, Walking down the basement stairs to follow the noise. As I reached the basement, I started to follow the noise again as it got louder. When I actually reached the center of the basement, I looked at the dryer and saw someone did start it. “Is someone in the house?” I said. After that, I stopped the dryer and Opened to see if anything was inside of it, and when I reached in, I felt something in it but it wasn't clothes. I pulled it out of the Dryer and Saw I grabbed Tattlepony and It laughed. “What are you doing out of your box, Tattlepony.” I said to it. “Everything fuzzy (Chuckle)” Tattlepony said. “Are it's batteries going dead?” I thought, as I looked at Tattlepony when it started to Hum a tune using La, Dee, Dah. “Okay, where is the battery charger?” I said, looking around, and eventually seen it next to the chair in the basement. “There it is.” Walking over to it until Tattlepony stopped humming and went to more of a slur. “Uh… ooohh” Tattlepony slurred with a beep, beep I placed Tattlepony on it's charger and waited for about 15-30 seconds As I took Tattlepony off of it's charger It beep 3 times and Tattlepony Sprang up. “Yay!!” Tattlepony said. “Okay, now let's get you back in your box.” I said, heading back to Tattlepony’s box. As soon as I got there, Tattlepony called out something familiar. “Give Me A Treat!!” Tattlepony exclaimed. “Ahhh, okay.” I said turning around and started heading to stairway to get to the fridge. “Give Me A Treat!!” Tattlepony repeated. “Okay, be quiet you're too loud.” I said, opening the fridge and giving Tattlepony another Grape and watched as it ate it. “Brush Me!!” Tattlepony called out as I closed the fridge. “Ahhh! Okay.” I said, heading to the brush. As I got to the Living room where the brush was, I reached to grab it, and it wasn't there. Huh! Who moved the brush?!?” I said, looking around for it. “Brush Me!!” Tattlepony repeated. “Stop it!” I said. As I looked around the house for the brush, I came across one of Miniature Foal toys or statues maybe? “Yay! I got another one!” I said, jumping up and down for a while. “Brush Me!” Tattlepony repeated again. “Right, forgot about you for a bit there.” I said, continuing to find that brush. As Tattlepony kept repeating “Brush Me!”, I eventually found the Brush and Brushed Tattlepony’s Mane. After that, I felt Tattlepony’s Mane afterward and smiled. “Me Tattlepony, Me love you!” Tattlepony said. After that, Tattlepony yawned and said, “Me Sleepy.” I took Tattlepony back to It's box and wrapped it back up then put it away. After that, I looked around the basement and eventually found another Miniature foal and cheered because they were so cute and I loved to have them. “(Yawns) I'm sleepy now, I'm going to bed for tonight.” I said, rubbing my eyes and went upstairs. As I got up the stairs, The phone started ringing again. I just ignored it and headed to my Room and laid down in my bed. “Tomorrow is another crazy night.” I said closing my eyes and going to sleep.
