Snow was falling and bells were ringing. Every home in New Ponyville was decorated for everyone's favorite holiday; Hearth's Warming Eve, a day to remeber how earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns came together in friendship to fight back and internal holiday caused by the mythical windagoes. Everybody was singing a song about how much they loved Hearth's Warming Eve.

Lighting and his friends were in New Canterlot Palace throne room with the royal alicorns and Shining Armor.

"I love Hearth's Warming Eve!" Cadence exclaimed.

"Me too." Shining added.

Lighting and the gang expressed the joy for the holiday when Jewel came into the room. "Hey Jewel. Ready to celebrate your first Hearth's Warming Eve here in United Equestria?" Starla asked. "Ehh I was thinking I might just skip it." Jewel replied. Everybody gasped in shock!

"Skip Hearth's Warming Eve?!" Lighting repeated.

"But why would you wanna do that Jewel?" Celestia asked.

"It just brings back bad memories." Jewel stated. Everybody was confused. "Bad memories about what?" Shining pressed. "About how I was seprated from my parents." Jewel replied. All the ponies gasped in shock so Jewel explained.

"My original home was on a plant named Harmony. My mom and dad were the best. They always cheered me up and cared for me. Everybody in Harmony had powerful magic either being a unicorn or alicorn. There were no pegasi or earth ponies. For the first fourteen years, my life was perfect. Until one day....My mom and dad were walking in the street when out of no where a big snake came up and then hundreds more came in. All my people were fighting but my mom and dad didn't because they wanted me to be safe. They made a dimensional path for me to be teleported for safety.

'Can you guys come?' asked fourteen year old Jewel.

'Sorry sweetie. But we have to stay here. We only built is strong enough for you.' I was heart broken by that. Before I jumped into the path my mom gave me a pendant crystal with all the memories I've had with them. So I could remeber them.

'Remeber our little diamond. We'll always be here for you. No matter where you go' Jewel's mom said. Then I jumped into the portal.

When I woke up I was surrounded by all kinds of animals; Star and Comet Wolves.....

"Woah, Woah, Woah, what's a star and comet wolf?" Lighting i interrupted.

"They are like normal wolves but the have star and comet marking all over their bodies." Jewel answered.

"Okay continue." Lighting added.

"Okay, so there were Star and Comet Wolves, Dragons and even Phoenixes. The wolf pack leaders were named Raksha and Akela. They took me in a one of their own.

They fed me, played with me, they even introduced me to all of the creatures. My wolf, adoptive mom was a bit protective of me and usually went crazy when I was ten minutes late getting home but my adoptive wolf dad calmed her down.

Over the next four years, I've grown a deep bond with all of the animals. I thought that it would be like that forever. Unfortunately, the same snakes that attack my home planet came back. My wolf parents made another pathway to help me escape...again. They said that I would be teleported to a place where I could live happy and be protected. Also find another true family to call my own.

Then they teleported me away. When I came here Sombra and Chrysalis were walking when I landed on them. They were angry so they chased me for a whole day until I found the meadow, collapsed and their majesties found me.

When Jewel was fine she had tears raining down her face."Both pairs of my parents said that they would find me again and I hoped everyday that would come true. *Sniffle...Sniffle* Well, I guess you all know the rest." With that, Jewel got up and went to here room.

"Galloping Galaxies. Poor Jewel." Lighting said.

"Getting torn away from her family...twice. No wonder she's so sad." Cadence added.

Lighting and Grand Ruler knew about losing their families, but they gained new families, while Jewel was still alone. "What can we do to cheer her up?" Starla asked. Starla hated seeing her best friend so sad, especially on a happy holiday.

Everybody thought of the perfect gift they could give Jewel.

"Gasp, I know the perfect gift. Starla, you try to cheer up Jewel while we set up Jewel's gift." Cadence said. Starla ran off to Jewel's room while the others made Jewel's gift.

Starla arrived Jewel's guest room and opened the door. She was greeted by a heart-breaking sight. Jewel was lying in bed with two empty buckets of ice cream on the floor and she was eating her third one while tears ran down her face.

"Oohh Jewel." Starla sat beside Jewel and rubbed her back, "Shhhh. It's okay. Please cheer up." Starla begged. Jewel looked at Starla and placed her head in Starla's shoulder. Starla continue to comfort Jewel until she stopped crying. Starla took the ice cream bucket away from her and began to talk softly.

"Jewel, I can't stand to see you so sad. Please come out and enjoy Hearth's Warming Eve with all your friends." Starla cooed. Jewel sniffled and thought.

"Okay. I'll come out." Jewel said. Starla and jewel went to the throne room where everybody was waiting with big smiles on their faces.

"What's going on?" Jewel asked. Their majesties approached Jewel. "Jewel, I know what it is to lose your family, but I found a new family with my wife, Lightning and all of my friends and now me and Celestia want to give you the same thing." Grand Ruler started. Queen Celestia stepped forward.

"Jewel, me and Celestio would like to adopt your as our second daughter. What do you say?"

Jewel's eyes aided and tears began to form. "Ye-ee-es!" She cried colliding with their majesties in a hug. Everybody cheered loudly for Jewel and new newly, second adoptive parents. Their majesties signed Jewel's adoption papers, making Jewel their offical daughter. They introduced Jewel to their other children; Prince Castor and Princess Leliani. The babies giggled and cooed at having a new sibling.

Princess Cadence and Shining were happy about having Jewel as their cousin. Now Jewel has a family of her own and this time it would be here to stay. Jewel began to sing in joy about having a new family and letting go of her past emotions:
