When an unexplained magical disaster puts everyone in Canterlot to sleep on Hearth's Warming Eve, only two ponies can save the day. One of them is obviously Twilight Sparkle, but Donut Joe isn't sure why he's the other.

Dedicated to Pearple Prose, who deeply loves this tired donut horse and purple smart horse, as part of a Secret Santa gift exchange. Editing provided by Mr Numbers, a bastard man who made me delete good lines just because the story would be better for it. I'm incredibly grateful for his help, and I may never forgive him.

Merry Christmas.
