Monday. Twilight's Quiet Time.

You usually never thought about stopping at Pony Paradise.

It was a quaint little house at the edge of the street.

Lovely little flowers of all varieties were always in bloom around the feminine pastel blue home. The sun always seemed to shine over the little slice of paradise, a true testament to the wonderment that was friendship.

That as long as anybody had a friend, no day was too dark but instead full of warmth and light.

Your heart began to flutter.

You've heard exciting stories about how cuddly and fluffy the ponies were. The floof on their chests extra soft beyond words. A simple smile able to lift all your worries away within seconds. This place indeed sounded like paradise, but were you ready for this type of attention?

Taking a deep breath you walked further down the sidewalk, the grass becoming more and more vibrant the closer you came to the house. Soon cutting up an adorable brick walkway, you stepped up to the pink colored front door.

A tiny sign was posted to the door held by a dainty piece of red string.

“ Monday appointments are held by Ms. Twilight Sparkle.
Please come inside and let all your worries fade away. “

You could feel your hand quiver as it reached for the doorknob in uncertainty. With a soft click, the door creaked open wider, you just prayed that you're not interrupting someone's session. Yet you are pleasantly surprised to see the one-room house completely empty.

Amber waves of sunshine poured through a cute window in the center of the room. Sat upon the clean wooden floor was a lavender colored alicorn, she quietly read a book a dreamy little smile across her muzzle.

Sweetly those large innocent eyes lifted up to meet your own. “Oh, I didn't hear you enter.” She giggled in a soprano voice that dripped with love and acceptance. You didn't know how to reply, she was such a beautiful little creature to behold.

She cantered over to you after delicately flipping her book closed, tail lifting up high bouncing with each step she took. Her coat shimmering as if reflecting the light from the heavens, soon a tiny muzzle caressing over your right hand sweetly.

Instinctively you scratched her behind the ear. Twilight let a cute soft moan escape her lips, ears folding down in delight. You gasped shocked watching the tiny equine roll over on her back, hooves lifting upward curving limply at the edges in a feminine manner.

You knew what to do, kneeling at her side you rubbed that adorable round tummy. Her hind leg kicking cutely, you decided to slyly add a belly scritch. Twilight bursting out into sweet little giggles full of appreciation. You watched her tail sway full of happiness and relaxation.

“What brings you here?” She questioned with an adorkable scrunch of her muzzle.

“I just felt a bit lonely in my life.” You answered truthfully.

What reason did you have to lie?

“Well, here we're all an open book!” Twilight winked playfully upward.

“I can see that.” You felt both cheeks burning a bright red.

“Anytime you need to feel appreciated, you're welcome here.” She lifted up to her hooves and gave a cute squee.

“What if I'm a bit shy about opening up?” You laughed nervously, reaching out to boop her cute snoot.

Twilight blushed her hooves sweetly rubbing her nose. “We encourage opening up at your own rate, it's perfectly fine to just enter and say nothing.” She extended both hooves wrapping you in a large loving embrace.

You could feel your heart melt. The hug was so warm and inviting her coat that of what clouds must feel like. For the first time in a long while, you could feel the weariness of the world lift off your shoulders.

Both arms wrapped around her back tightly. You can't stop yourself from giving her a nice big squeeze! Twilight simply cooing in satisfaction, her muzzle nuzzling your cheek tenderly. Blushing the equine rushed across the room in excitement, breaking the embrace only to pick up a book with her mouth.

You snickered playfully watching the mare bring you the large oversized pink piece of literature. Of course taking it from her happily, watching the little pony curl up on your lap gazing upward blushing ever brighter.

“Could…could you please read to me?” She spoke in a genuinely nervous tune.

Without a second thought, you began to cuddle close to your new friend. Twilight making sure to snuggle up nice and cozy under your arm. The next few hours would just fly by in an instant, you read a story to her about a curious mare who got lost in The Everfree.

She was lead astray by a mischievous changeling who only desired to keep her lost, just because she was lonely. Both quick to become friends of course after the whole thing was explained. Afterwards, you spent some time under the warm rays of sunlight, Twilight suggesting you both take a nice nap together.

You could only smile as she drifted off to slumber, by listening to your heartbeat much like a violet colored little baby. Before you knew what happened, the night was quickly approached. You knew closing time was on the horizon, Twilight suddenly lifting up to give a peck on your cheek.

“I was happy to meet you! ~ I just know the girls will adore you!” Twilight beamed in a joyous attitude, walking you over to the door.

“The girls?” You stammered swallowing a large lump in your throat.

“Mm-hmm! Come back tomorrow, Rainbow Dash will totally give you some exercise!” Twilight spoke giggling as she lifted a hoof over her lips.

“I... would love that.” You replied stepping out into the gentle kiss of the crisp night air.

“Remember, you're never alone. ~ Friends will always be here, to walk you home.” Twilight's eyes were sparkling much like the stars in the sky.

As you began the long walk home.

One usually lonely or silent.

You couldn't stop smiling.

The music the night created was absolutely lovely.

Tuesday. Rainbow's Exercise Routine!

You couldn't help but notice the morning air was beyond chilly. The sun graced the world below in a loving embrace, you could feel an echo of warmth lick your cheek. To be completely honest this was the first time you've ever been up this early.

Walking over to the quaint little house ready to start a new adventure in cuddling, you suddenly fell to the ground with a dull thud. A bright red apple on the sidewalk accidentally tripped you, yet before your mood could be soured.

Quite a sight spread brightly over the pastel blue sky.

A wave of rainbows danced across the heavens in a ballet of joy. You could just smile getting lost in the multicolored lights, everything once dull or grey now bursting at the seams with color. Rainbow Dash suddenly flew over the distance from behind the tiny house, her coat was poofed out adorably from her recent high-speed flight.

Unlike Twilight who gently walked over.

Rainbow merely pounced on you, as soon as her hooves touched the cement sidewalk.

It was amazing, the tiny pegasus pinned you to the ground. Yet she felt as light as a feather, her coat like touching pure cotton that was sprinkled in velvet. You, of course, couldn't help yourself to pet the cutie down her back, her tail instantly lifting high enjoying the attention.

You gave the pegasus a few more gentle strokes, Rainbow giggling as she scrunched her muzzle up against your nose in an Eskimo kiss. Those vibrant sparkling eyes getting lost in your own, you decide to pull out the big guns.

Your fingers crawl behind her ear scritching extra soft, she could only coo both ears pinned back in pleasure. The pegasus melting like butter in your hands, with a laugh you watched her simply topple over onto the soft grass.

Her hooves lifted up cutely hugging your arm tightly. Grinning you rubbed that round tight belly in gentle but firm circles, Rainbow closed her eyes both hind legs kicking in excitement. You were lost in the moment giving her dozens of soft rubs, one hand lifting to softly intertwine her lovely chest floof between your fingers.

“Enough...if ...heehee…” Rainbow rolled away from your grasp giggling.

“Aww, but I had more rubs to give!” You let a pout escape your lips.

“I know, but if we just snuggle all day! ~ Then you won't be able to enjoy my workout session!” Rainbow ran over to you swift as the wind, her tiny hoof booping your snoot.

Honestly, you could just blush at the mere absurdity of such a bold action.

“Workout?” You could already feel your muscles straining.

“Mm-hmm, complete my routine and you'll be… 20% cooler!” Rainbow lifted into the air cutely on feminine wings, holding the door sign in her hoof smugly.

“ Tuesday appointments are hosted by the super totally awesome Rainbow Dash!
Get ready to BURN! “

You gave a loud gulp in reply.

Rainbow bolted behind you wrapping one hoof across your shoulder, much to your surprise giving you a tender squeeze. “We'll start with something easy!” She gave you a loving nuzzle on the neck.

“I...I'm always up for something easy.” Your cheeks blushed a bright red.

“Awesome, let's run five miles!” She flew over to the sidewalk landing, giving a long feminine stretch in place.

Before you could say a word, she was off in a flash. Those delicate hooves galloping off into the horizon at top speed. With barely any time to think you ran after her stumbling every few steps, you weren't the most athletic of people. So anyone watching you helplessly chase after a smug little pegasus, might have gotten a chuckle or two from the sight.

Running down the sidewalk was pure torture. After just thirty minutes of exercise, you could feel your lungs burning with the fire of activity. Rainbow, of course, wasn't nearly as affected by fatigue, when you finally reached her at the local park, she was happily doing wing-ups to pass the time.

“I didn't think you'd come, pokie!” Rainbow giggled flashing a wide grin.

“I just need to catch my breath.” You gasped for just a few sweet tastes of oxygen.

“Breathing is for the weak!” She walked over rubbing her head against your arm.

You smiled thinking she looked like an oversized cat. Her tail lifting higher as it playfully tickled you across the chest, you laughed reaching out to pet her, before she gave you a gentle nip on the fingertips.

“If you want to pet, you must best me!” Rainbow took a defensive stance on the grass those violet eyes burning into your soul.

“Best you?” You stood there confused as ever.

“Yeah, at the contest of champions!” She let a tiny snort escape her nostrils.

“Whaa?” You replied with narrowing eyes.

With a gaze full of shock, you helplessly stood still watching the pegasus make a dash towards you. “Wrestling!” She squealed before tackling you to the soft grass below. You both hit the ground in a cloud of dust, the equine rolling over on top of you, her hooves pinning you down with ease.

You never wrestled a pony in your whole life. So this was quite the experience for you, tugging the little creature around the waist you both began to roll on the grass. Rainbow giggling as she locked both your hands at your side, using just her soft feathered wings.

Indeed she was a challenge. Flipping you over, she had you roll a few feet away in a daze.”Nopony beats, Dash!” Rainbow was quick to gloat standing up on her hind legs, the foolish mare leaving her round tummy exposed.

Collecting your strength you lunged forward, both hands scritching that belly with ferocity. Rainbow squealing out in a high pitched tune, her cheeks burning a bright pink as you began to rub both her belly and chest firmly.

“Nooo!” She gained a dreamy look across her face toppling over on her back, cooing in utter delight.

You took the opening to kneel at her side, scritching under her chin watching her right leg kick wildly. She was melting again in place, you needed to finish her quick before the pegasus regained her strength. Laughing both hands scritched her behind each ear, the mare cooing extra loud.

You scooped the limp mare up in your arm, smiling as you reached out and with boundless confidence.

You booped that tiny blue snoot.

Rainbow blushed with a scrunched muzzle.

She had been bested by a human.

Worse yet, her hooves were now made of jello.

She had no choice but to cuddle your chest, resting quietly in your arms.

You gave a beaming smile as you carried her under a nearby sycamore tree. Though she wouldn't admit it, she looked absolutely spent. Both of you decided to cuddle under the protective branches of the mighty tree, making sure to snuggle and give many Eskimo Kisses.

After all,

This morning had been quite the workout.

Thursday. Pinkie's Cooking Class!

You pulled the collar of your coat up higher. The wind outside was nearly bone-chilling, you could see the steam wafting off your breath with each shallow exhale. Indeed it was a gloomy day, the once clear blue skies now a dull shade of grey. You needed to get to your appointment soon, just a scoop of gloom stretched a long way in your opinion.

Amongst the colorless horizon stood one beacon of light. The quaint little paradise that in only a short while has become your home away from home. You felt safe amongst the miniature ponies within, each one able to bring out the best within your soul.

Without them you felt lost in a way, it was odd how just a few simple acts of friendship could turn somebody's world upside down. Walking up the adorable pathway to the front door, you paused to take a deep breath in growing excitement.

What unique pleasures awaited you today?

Clutching the copper knob in your hand, you gave it a firm twist to enter into the loving warmth within.

Just as soon as you entered colorful confetti exploded over your whole body. Dozens of scents bombarding you from every direction imaginable. Buttery biscuits, delectable cookies, and savory pies.

Blueberry, raspberry, and even chocolate.

Each smell better than the last. Looking ahead you could see a humongous white banner stretched humorously across the tiny room. Words written in oversized pink bubble letters and childish little scribbles.

“Thursday appointments are hosted by Pinkie Pie!
There goes the neighborhood!!”

“You're here, er mer gerr!!” A pure white pony performed a cartwheel towards you happily.

She gazed up to you with dark ocean blue eyes that nearly glowed. Her pink mane was in wild bouncy curls, bright pink in color with a scent of cotton candy wafting from her coat playfully. You noticed she was covered head to hoof in fresh flour, the room covered in dozens of tasty treats.

“Have you been cooking all day?” You asked curiously with a sly smirk.

“Nope, just an hour or so?” Pinkie tilted her head to the side cutely.

“Just an hour!?” Your jaw nearly hit the floor in awe, this pony was either crazy or extremely hyperactive.

“Neither, I'm just really good at baking.” Pinkie suddenly appeared at your side, lifting up her hoof to her muzzle as she whispered in your ear secretly.

“Did you just…” You try to speak only to have Pinkie bounce away giggling.

A pony shaped cloud of white left in her stead.

“Today we're going to have a baking class!” Pinkie swung open the oven door in a blur of pink, quick to fling out a platter of already frosted cupcakes.

“Uhh, cool?” You shrug in utter confusion.

“Just pick a treat, and we'll learn how to eat!” Pinkie zoomed over to the long yellow counter, flaunting her hooves across the lineup of sugary sweets.

You could see cherry cupcakes, peach cobbler, and apple pie.

“Everything looks so wonderful…” You lift your gaze outside the open window behind Pinkie, noticing how the dull horizon seemed to stretch endlessly across the sky.

“Is something wrong?” She let her ears twitch in place.

The pink equine skipped over before placing a tiny hoof on your hand, you lowered your gaze to meet her own. Giving her little hoof a tight squeeze, that alone earning a giggle from her cutely. “Have you ever felt that something was missing?” You gave a shrug to the equine casually.

“Oh, like when you forget sprinkles!?” Pinkie snorted, magically pulling out a cupcake with her spare hoof.

“Not quite.” You held back a chuckle.

“Well, I feel if something in your life is missing.” Pinkie lifted on hind legs, wrapping her hooves around you in a feminine embrace.

“Then take a little time to share a giggle or two!” She bounced upward in a swift motion, your arms instinctively catching the bundle of fluff with ease.

“Is it really that easy?” You hold her up closer like an oversized baby, giving the cutie a tender kiss atop her forehead.

Both ears fold back in delight. Pinkie snuggling closer in a sweet attempt to cheer you up, she could sense the grumpy grey cloud hanging over your head. She just wanted to sprinkle a few rays of sunshine over it, make all your worries fade away.

“ Laughter is the best medicine silly!” She placed her hoof over your heart with a smile.

Watching her curl into the world's cutest ball of cotton candy. You gave the little pony a tight squeeze, you just wanted to share a few close moments with somepony who could help you laugh. Your fingers scritching her floof as Pinkie snorted aloud, hand tracing over her round belly rubbing it in small circles tenderly.

Pinkie swayed her bouncy tail back and forth, the cotton candy curls tapping your leg joyously. Leaning in you touched noses with your newest friend, without so much as a warning, Pinkie playfully smooshed a purple cupcake against your lips.

You burst into an echo of laughter. Sweet frosting over your lips, tongue lapping up the treat with a coy smile. “Heehee, I knew a smile was hiding!” Pinkie wiggled out of your arms, walking over to her baking utensils beaming with optimistic pride.

“Now lazy boots, we're going to bake ourselves a delicious pie!” Pinkie let her eye wink deviously, you happily shuffling over to learn a new skill in the kitchen.

Both of you spent the next few hours trying to create a pie from scratch. It was quite an experience, to say the least, every mistake you made was fixed by Pinkie in a flash of mischief. Burnt crusts were dusted off, the overly mixed filling replaced with new ingredients somehow hidden in her mane.

Each mistake was just a chance to spend more time with a friend, a friend who never judged you for being wrong. A song of laughter in a dreary day overflowing with melancholy. But that was fine with you, even when the flat little shriveled pie was done baking.

You each shared a laugh, deciding to share the treat you both created from a cheerful afternoon of silliness.

It turned out to be the sweetest treat of all.

Friday. Rarity's After-hour Meeting.

You woke up late on the cool silent Friday night. Your heart was beating wildly inside your chest like a rampaging stampede. Outside your bedroom window was a star-filled sky sparkling much like flawless diamonds. The lazy dark blue canvas painted in a scene of pure beauty to those who simply sought it out.

You knew sleep wouldn't come anytime soon. Sliding out of bed with a loud sigh you reached for your coat on the floor. You were in dire need of a walk right now, work recently had been a horror show and you couldn't even attend your appointment earlier.

Everything recently just felt like a movie in slow motion. As if you were going through emotions, yet not truly feeling any of them. Outside your window, you spotted the silhouette of a towering tree in the distance, mind racing with a flood of numbing thoughts.

Indeed a walk was needed.

After all, the silence of an empty room could be deafening.

Outside you shuffled along the sidewalk in a daze. Eyes watching the night sky more than the current surroundings. You found the stars so peaceful on nights such as this, a reflection of something still innocent in the world. “Beautiful, aren't they darling?” The feminine voice of elegance incarnate danced joyously across the night sky.

You looked to the right in surprise. A slender snow-white unicorn was sprawled on her backside. Ocean blue eyes watching the ballet of beauty above, her tiny frame nestled in a vibrant patch of healthy grass.

“Sorry.” You replied, both hands digging into your jacket pockets.

“About?” Rarity giggled with a smile.

“Missing my appointment.” You decided to sit on the edge of the sidewalk in defeat.

“Nothing is set in stone. ~ I'm just happy to see you're ok.” Rarity yawned, as she could make out a lovely shooting star race across the sky.

“But it is…” You inhaled sharply with narrowed eyes.

“Everything is set in stone. ~ No matter what you do, everything always ends the same.” You shifted your gaze to the equine behind you sternly.

“Ah, the ending is just the finale to a wonderful show!” Rarity stretched her slender body in place.

The unicorn smiled patting her delicate hoof at her side welcomingly. You didn't know what to do, but deep down you didn't want to be alone. Lifting up you walked over, taking a seat beside the pony as the deafening silence crept back in.

“Do you know what the best part of a Fashion Show is?” Rarity swayed her violet tail in place cutely.

“No, what?” You huffed under your breath.

“The creative process.” Rarity lifted up to her haunches, scrunching her nose in an adorable manner.

“Hmm.” You felt her small hoof stop your own.

“To use your time creating new memories and sharing ideas with friends. ~ I've never been happier, than when bouncing off ideas with my friends.” Rarity gently tracing your cheek tenderly.

“The journey we take to a destination should be a treasure to cherish. ~ Each day a new opportunity to create that one special item.” Her head softly rested on your shoulder.

“What's the item?” You spoke in barely above a whisper.

“That's for you to discover. ~ Something you can't complete if you're always drifting to the end.” Rarity gave your cheek a tiny peck.

“Isn't it after hours?” You wrapped the soothing mare in a tender hug.

“For you, I'm happy to stay up late.” She cuddled against you lovingly with both ears folding back.

Leaning back onto the grass, you cradled the pony in your arms. Both of you watching the stars drift high above you in a dream-like fashion, the once busy world around you seems to fade away. It was nice to leave the world behind, finding a place secluded from the disappointing pain of a cruel world.

Here under the stars felt as if you were transported to a whole new universe. If it were just you two, that would be absolutely fine. Rarity was soothing in the most elegant of ways, her voice mature and full of untainted wisdom.

Silently she placed an ear over your broken heart. Humming a melody in a motherly tone, her thoughts set upon easing your soul and mending your mind. The song enough to help you drift higher into the cosmos above, everything around you weightless as if made of air.

Rarity weaved together a wave of elegant blue magic. Cradling you both in a warm ball of protective light, without a worry stressing your mind the pony let a giggle escape her lips.

“You poor dear, let me fashion you a dream from diamonds.” She leaned forward kissing your forehead sweetly.

The mare wrapped a hoof over your chest. Snuggling in close until her breath was against your neck. Tiny muzzle nuzzling your cheek with love, the world fading more into the abyss with each passing second.

Cupping your cheek with a hoof. Rarity curled into a fluffy little ball on your chest, a silent protector of the night and the most beautiful star amongst the night canvas.

With an odd feeling of falling, you drifted through the abyss. Rarity’s melody guiding you with care and the words of her wisdom creating a newfound sense of purpose inside your soul. The echo of a clock suddenly snapping you back into reality.

You let both eyes drift open. Finding yourself back inside a familiar space, your room cast in the golden rays of sunlight. You felt more at ease now, heart rhythmically beating in a collected fashion. Rarity had shared a dream with you, an idea of enjoying the now and creating love out of what time you had on this earth.

A dream that would never fade.

Sitting up, your eyes gazing out the open window with hope. You couldn't help yourself but smile proudly, the horizon not seeming so endless now.

After all, it was a brand new day.

One you could craft into something beautiful.

Wednesday. Fluttershy's Secret Holiday Cuddles.

You could hear the peculiar sound of jingle bells ringing out from the quaint little house down the street. The once sunny sky over the home now a soft bundle of grey clouds, snowflakes daintily dancing down to the earth below.

This was beyond amazing to behold. The snow was encasing your destination in a blanket of pure white bliss, you began to walk ever closer in excitement. What possible surprise could be awaiting you inside such a magical place, taking a deep breath you twisted the knob opening the door wide.

Inside the buttery scent of freshly baked cookies wafted across the air. Presents of every color imaginable covered the tiny room as if a Christmas explosion went off. In the corner of the room, a fluffy yellow pegasus was bent over near the oven, you watched her feminine pink tail sway softly.

Fluttershy swiftly turned around wearing bright pink hoof-mitts. A large tray of sugar cookies held in front of her, both of her cheeks burning a bright pink hue.

She wore a note around her swan-like neck, tied with a long red silk ribbon.

The note reading…

“Wednesday appointments hosted by Fluttershy.
Um, yay? “

“Oh my, I didn't hear the door open,” Fluttershy spoke in barely a whisper.

“I hope, I'm not intruding?” You spoke almost equally shy in return.

“Of course not! ~ Just during the holidays most of my little friends are well…” Fluttershy giggled softly before the thunderous snore of a grizzly bear erupted from outside the tiny house.

“Oh, hibernating?” You ran a hand through your hair laughing.

“I hope you don't mind, though a few are still awake. ~ Right Angel?” Fluttershy turned around nudging a very sleepy bunny on the yellow kitchen counter awake.

His little paws swatting the pony away quite annoyed, before clocking out once more. You couldn't help but snicker a bit, the little pegasus placing her cookies atop a small wooden table near an open window to cool. Before you knew it she trotted over, cuddling expertly under your arm giving a soft melodic squee.

“I've come prepared though, these presents might just hold woodland surprises!” Fluttershy winked slyly, quick to pounce across the room grabbing a slightly oversized green gift.

You decide to play along, following your hostess to the sea of multicolored boxes. You soon kneeled down at her side, the mare giving you the gift overflowing with joy. Shaking the box playfully you couldn't quite hear a sound, eyes flashing over to Fluttershy who hid her smile behind a dainty hoof.

Slowly opening the present with care. You spotted a large fluffy teddy bear within, his muzzle flashing a large playful smile. Laughing you gave the toy a firm squeeze, hearing a high-pitched squeak ring across the room.

“A grizzly!” You smirked watching Fluttershy nod along.

“Mm-hmm! Since you couldn't meet the real one today, I thought that cutie might suffice.” Fluttershy leans inward as you reach a handout, petting her long silken mane tenderly.

The mare cooing in a lovely tune. Ears twitching playfully as she reached over unwrapping a light blue box, hooves gently lifting a cute pair of turtle doves out into the open. “These are my favorite, you're supposed to share them with someone special.” Fluttershy delicately clipped one dove into her mane.

Without a moment to lose the mare gently pulls in closer to you. Her soft gentle hooves clipping the other dove into the front of your shirt. You happily scooped the pegasus into your arms giving her a big hug, Fluttershy's body so soft like a plushie in her own right.

You could feel her tail swishing side to side. Her tiny muzzle gently nuzzling the side of your neck in a feminine manner, you felt yourself getting lost in those large turquoise colored eyes. Rolling over on the floor you enjoyed the pony cuddling close, her head resting on your chest listening to the calm beat of your heart.

“You're my special friend.” You whispered in her ear playfully.

Fluttershy blushed bright pink, lifting both hooves over her face embarrassed. Your heart melting at the sweet sight of this innocent creature, you firmly scritched under her chin letting your fingers enjoy the soft feel of her silky coat.

The pegasus cooed scrunching her muzzle in delight. The room growing extra cozy on this cool winter day, the warmth of your hearts allowing the light in the room to shimmer that much brighter. Fluttershy was a simple little pony by design, she wasn't fussy nor the type to tease by any means.

You wanted to cuddle with her forever, Fluttershy happily allowing just this. You both spent a lazy afternoon snuggling together in front of a lovely orange fireplace. Each of you taking turns in sharing joyous little memories, or giving each other tender embraces. Time almost seemed to float by on a lazy cloud of love, soon the whole room littered in cute adorable stuffed animals.

Fluttershy sure knew how to make the holidays cozy. It didn't need to be flashy or even detailed for that matter. She was perfectly happy in just enjoying the smaller things in life, the simple happiness that company could bring a person or equine.

You knew deep inside your heart, this was exactly what you needed. A day full of laughter with a nice friend, an afternoon brimming with silly lighthearted fun, and of course the wonderful taste of freshly baked cookies.

As you both cuddled under a mistletoe drinking tiny mugs of hot cocoa, you began to grin from ear to ear. Leaning forward you gave the little pony a soft Eskimo kiss on the snoot. Fluttershy nearly squealing like a school filly, to your surprise she lifted her hoof up, biting down on her lower lip.

She booped your nose in delight.

Laughter soon danced across the open sky outside.

This day was certainly filled with the gift of time, the time spent with those you loved.

Indeed, the sweetest gift of all.
