Dear, Princess Celestia
Here is something that I've learned about friendship or something else. Either way it's been interesting.
Rarity and Spike had some conflicts lately. Every Christmas, Rarity had a Christmas list. But one thing she always wanted as her number one gift was a gray diamond, that has outlines of turquoise. Spike happened to sneak in and read her list. And never could find the diamond Rarity wanted, much to Rarity's ignorance of these happenings. Spike believed that Santa would take care of it. That Christmas, Rarity opened her presents, and saw something so spectacularly-uniquely-splendid at being a rock. So spectacularly-uniquely-splendid at being dull. Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension, Charlie Brown looked in his trick-or-treat bag, “I got a diamond.” Spike kept pondering to himself, how could Santa have been so careless.
Spike felt devastated, his precious Rarity didn't get the gifts she wanted. He spent the whole of next year sneaking out of Twilight's house, during her sleep, to go mining. He got Owlicious to stay quiet by promising 50% of his bounty. Month's went by Spike kept collecting diamonds, except for the ones Rarity wanted. Spike was so disappointed, he gambled all the diamonds away to Owlicious. Owlicious did some tap dancing and sang like Frank Sinatra.
Spike, “ I never knew hoots could be so Musical.” Owlicious then, bribed his way to President of Hasbro.
Next day, Twilight asked where Owlicious was. And Spike replied, “ A rat ate him.” Twilight eyed him suspiciously.
Spike, “Then I ate the rat.”
Twilight, “It must've been a two course meal.” Twilight smirked, “Behave or it'll be a three course meal.”
Next, it was Christmas time, all the ponies, in Ponyville were scuttling along with their business. Twilight at her tree house told Spike, “I have a meeting with Applejack and the Apples.”
Spike played cool and said, “Cowabunga, it's my greatest opportunity.”
Twilight, “Oh, silly Spike it's just me and the Apple family, you stay here”
Spike put his hand to his mouth, “exactly.” Spike, “Luckily, I prepared this rocket to take you there faster.” Spike launched the rocket at Twilight. Twilight then teleported away. Spike launched the rocket at Twilight. Twilight then teleported away. Spike, “I forgot Twilight could do that.”
A little later that day, Santa, “Ho! Ho! Ho! Look at this giant gingerbread rocket for Kim Jong-Un.” The rocket from Spike hit the other rocket, sending gingerbread everywhere, but it didn't blow up. Elf, “Santa, here's an idea, 'Why don't we send this rocket to Kim Jong-Un.'”
Santa, “Marvelous, he'll be extra happy.”
Spike tiptoed out of the house, despite there being nothing to fear.
Twilight appeared at Applejack's farm. Applejack, “Howdy, there Twilight.”
Twilight, “Hey, I think it would be a good idea to go to the library today.”
Applejack, “For you isn't that every day.”
Twilight, “We could read together, besides it's a different library.”
Applejack, “Well, if readin' means memorizin' your favorite bedtime story, and not being able to understand the squiggles then, Yes.”
Twilight smiled heavily, “Well, I can teach you.”
Applejack, “Well, I dunno Twilight, can't we do something else.”
Twilight, “Come on, Applejack, it's going to be fun.”
As the Apples and Twilight were leaving except for Apple Bloom who had a meeting with the CMC, were leaving Spike popped up from a bush, with a mischievous smirk. Spike grabbed a snake from his backpack, and it formed an escalator to the top of the farm. Spike was on the barn's room gazing at the sources of the Apple's harvest. He pulled out one of Twilight's spell books, “Enlargement and Shrinking Spells.” Spike thought, “What is best to practice on?” Spike, “Ah ha,” he made a pig turn big, a 9 meter pig that has hooves that dig. Spike, “My magic, it is supreme! No! What are you thinking Spike? It can't be supreme until I change a tree!” He made the one tree of his choosing monstrously tall.” Spike, “Next up on the menu, a diamond for Rarity that has yet to be found.”
Spike left back to Twilight's house, “now where to get that diamond?”
Twilight and the Apples arrived at the library, Twilight looked at Applejack and Applejack looked at Twilight. They leaned closely together, and Twilight, “Jacky, ready to be educated?” They all went into the sound-proof room.
Twilight, “Applejack, let's start with the alphabet, what do you know?”
Applejack, “Okay, π, beta, alpha, 0, 2, 7, Z, w, b , k, l, m..”
Twilight couldn't take this horrendously bad alphabet anymore, “That's enough. Here's how you do it, “ Twilight proceeded to say.
Rainbow Dash headed over to the Apple's farm, “Applejack. Applejack! She must be trying to ignore me. Aha, APPLE CIDER!!” Still no answer, Rainbow Dash, “I get it, this place, she knows it too well, a terrible race.” Dash turned around to see the monstrously big tree. Rainbow Dash bowed down, “It must be a sign from Artemis.” Rainbow Dash, “I must construct an awesome daredevil track me and Applejack.” Rainbow Dash, “Thank you, Artemis, for showing me the way.”
Pinkie Pie fell from the sky, “What is it Rainbow Dash?”
Rainbow Dash, “ We will construct an awesome daredevil race track that's dictated by Artemis.”
Pinkie Pie, “OK!”
Rainbow Dash, “Get in formation, and we will proceed to song.”
Pinkie, Attention! -RD
Yes, sir -PP
That's Ma'am to you -RD
Correct, sir -PP
Never mind it is time to begin to rhyme -RD
All workers, one and one -RD
In my case, just one -PP
March forward, and carry a big stick -RD
Like a-bees running quick -PP
Stick that stick in the ground -RD
It is there shiny slick -PP
We, that's me, working hard to follow a leader -PP
Of which I am of excellent rank -RD
I corporal -RD
And I Sergeant -PP
Now work for me -RD
At Fluttershy's house, for Angel Bunny cooperating eating cucumber soup, Fluttershy was preparing an ice cream sundae. Fluttershy, “I will be right back,” as she left for the kitchen. She was preparing the recipe from the list, “Ice cream, fudge, chocolate, caramel, cherries, dynamite sweat, hydrogen balloons for the party, and fireworks instead of candles.” A large rumble came from the ground. “Oh, no, I knew that dynamite sweat was a little too extreme.” But nothing happened. “I'll come come clean!” Fulltershy threw the fireworks, dynamite-sweat sundae, and hydrogen balloons out the window.” Then the rumble came, “Where is this from!?” She turned around to see Angel Bunny was gone. Fluttershy, said shyly, “It is likely Angel Bunny went to its source of fear.”
Slightly later, Fluttershy got to the construction site, Pinkie Pie was testing out toxic masculinity. Pinkie grunted and grunted, and had a non-permanent tattoo stuck on her of a cupcake.
Rainbow Dash, “Don't let it go to your head Pinkie, I am still in charge,” she said proudly, “Let's get back to work.” Fluttershy looked in horror as they hadn't noticed her. She shouted at the top of her probably small lungs, but they didn't notice. Now with a blow horn with Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark, that should get Dash's attention. No, it was the wrong ship. How about a bass boast, with the help of Vinyl Scratch, it Worked!
Rainbow Dash, “That reminds of that episode with the poison joke, you were pretty funny.”
Fluttershy shouted loudly, “But you could barely fly.”
Rainbow Dash became embarrassed, “Uh, how about we just go back to construction, and forget this conversation.”
“Fine,” said Fluttershy. Fluttershy gasped, “I've lost Rainbow Dash's attention! Where is the Angel?!!” Fluttershy ran off to the forest to try to find the bunny.
Spike went to Pegasus Airlines where “Where Pegasuses Don't Ride Planes, Planes Ride Them.” Spike walked up to a receptionist.
Receptionist, “How are you, my spiked customer, that is named Spike.”
Spike, “Do you have any first class seating to the North Pole?” “No, it's full, but you can easily fit in the luggage cabin.” “Thanks,” Spike put himself in luggage, “It'll be worth it.”
Fluttershy was wondering and wondering in the forest. She deduced if she took a plane to a random location it just might work. At the receptionist, Fluttershy asked for First Class.
“Sorry, it's full, but you can have the co-pilot seat.”
Fluttershy eagerly, but cautiously boarded the plane.
The plane announcer started the presentation. “On Pegasus Airline as we said, 'Where Pegasus Don't Ride Planes, Planes Ride Them.'After our scientists have questioned what is the most efficient engine for a plane, we found the answer, Pegasuses, The Pegasus as you all know are abundant, across Equestria, but did you know that Pegasuses have, unlike Ponies and Unicorns, have 99% efficiency. Although not all power intake is directed to flying, it goes to brain power. Did you know, that every Pegasuses' neuronal nucleus's contains a microscopic brain and compasses, out doing tradition navigational computers and a good investment for our Airlines.”
Fluttershy, “Ain't I a Pegasus.”
Pilot, “Yes, but you paid above normal when you used your credit card, so you get to be co-pilot. It takes 1 million dollars to be with the pilot.” Fluttershy fainted, soonly to be splashed with cold water.
Pilot, “You paid for this experience, now you're going to live it.”
Meanwhile, Angel Bunny has been holding on to the outside of the plane for dear life thinking, “Why is life so crazy?”
Spike hasn't been doing much better, “It's Too Hot!” Only to arrive at the North Pole, “Oh, it's Warm.”
Finally the destination was reached, and we should check on our friends in Ponyville.
Twilight and Applejack were in the sound-proof library booth as said earlier. Twilight, “You know Applejack, since you are getting so good with the alphabet, I'm going to let you go off on your own.” Applejack excitedly ran off to find and read her first book.
At Rainbow and Pinkie's construction site, Pinkie was contemplating telling Rainbow, a secret. She decided to. Pinkie, “ I've been doing research, I'm in charge now. I'm the sergeant.”
Rainbow, “No. NO! It's lies! I will not be the wing pony. No!” And from that moment on, Pinkie downgraded herself to Commander to make Rainbow happy.
Rarity was feeling frustrated, as her latest design wasn't right, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. She was making it for Sweetie Belle, when the CMC decided to try for fashion model cutie marks. Rarity had to revolutionize her process as she was making them for young fillies. But most importantly how could she represent the eager curiosity embedded in each of the CMC? It was definitely a brainstorm for her, Sweetie Belle, sweet and affectionate, Scootaloo, striving to be awesome, and Apple Bloom always coming up with ideas and leader of the CMC. Rarity's creative block snapped. Rarity spent all 3 hours coming up with their fashion wear.
Finally, when it was done, Sweetie Belle was first to walk into the room, “Big Sis, I really appreciate what you're doing for us.”
Rarity, “No problem really, I just love fashion,” she said in a whisper, “Still waiting for the fame fortune though.” Apple Bloom put on a cape along with a diamond belt, silver shirt, and purple pants. Scootaloo tried on a on tricolor outfit with black, white, and green, Sweetie Belle similar to the one Fluttershy once wore, but it had a bit more pep and represented being one with your feelings. Rarity, “Aren't they splendid?”
The CMC, “Totally!” Rarity, “ I just knew they would be dazzling.”
Apple Bloom, “CMC Flank Check!” They looked for their cutie marks, but still didn't have them.
Sweetie Belle, “I just don't know what went wrong.”
“Did somepony say my catchphrase?” It was Derpy Hooves, what an exciting addition.
Rarity, “Sweetie Belle, nothing went wrong all you did was try the clothes on.”
Sweetie Belle, “What?”
Rarity, “ You need to start your modeling career.”
The CMC, “How do we do that?”
Rarity, “Really, did you jump into fashion without doing any research?”
Apple Bloom, “Oh, yes.”
Rarity, “When you first start out, you need to make a portfolio to advertise yourselves.”
“What about me?” asked Derpy.
“Not now,” said Rarity, “I'm trying to figure out a camera pony for the job! I remember there is an aspiring photographer right here in Ponyville hat will want to JUMP on the FAME AND FORTUNE BANDWAGON. None other than LEON LENS! Opal, you lazy cat BRING LEON to ME!” Opal with a note handed from Rarity, knew this was business, and to get on with with.
Scootaloo, “Are you sure you're not overdoing it, this isn't that important.”
Rarity, “relax, it's called being assertive.”
Leon looked underneath his pink hoof, a note, “An opportunity from non other than Ponyville's greatest in fashion and saver of all Equestria. Leon spread his wings out to fly the 1 yard from his house to Rarity's. Leon arrived gracefully landing.
Rarity, “I'm so glad you could come!”
Opal gave Rarity a look thinking, “And you think I'm lazy.” Leon welcomed himself in. Rarity briefly struck some fashionable poses to show her talents. Then positioned the CMC in intricate poses.
Leon, “It this the time to take the picture?”
Rarity, “Take your time, this has got to be just perfect.”
Apple Bloom, “How long do I have to keep my hair in my mouth?”
“Until we take the picture,” said Rarity.
Derpy, “What do I do?”
Rarity, “you collect various wildlife for the set.”
Derpy, “Okeey, dokey.”
Rarity, “TAKE THE PICTURE,” with extreme enthusiasm.
Half-way through their photo shoot, Derpy returned with a wild surprise, “I brought TIMBER WOLVES.”
Rarity set her mascara, right before fainting. Derpy tugged on the leash she put on them, “Behave.”
Scootaloo, “As Dash would say, 'This just got 20% cooler'”. The CMC were impressed by Derpy's prowess, they motioned Leon to take pictures of Derpy as she struck poses.
Rarity woke up to see, “I'm still alive!?”
Rarity was impressed.
Derpy demonstrated her majestic abilities. Rarity had the photo shoot pictures sent to Madame Rouseau, a fashion victor and pony of prestige class.
Rarity could barely contain herself. “You sure you don't want the warehouse key,” suggested Sweetie Bloom.
Back in Christmas Town, the local conspiracy-theorist Vixy the Fox Pony, was putting together an interesting puzzle of logic arguments and connections. Vixy, “Genius, absolutely brilliant. But could it be, it's not possible, but it is. But that means. My fears were right all along.”
Fluttershy got off the plane with minimal luggage, but that wasn't conducive to comfortable living in Christmas Town. Fluttershy promptly ran to the nearest shop, Vixy's Clothing Department Store.
Spike had to uncomfortably get himself out of the luggage, but luckily for him his thick scales made a winter jacket irrelevant. Spike was wondered at by the local resident of Christmas Town as dragons, especially baby dragons, were unusual. Spike noticed a board with text, the schedule for Christmas own, Santa visits at noon sharp. Spike, “Sharp, eh.” Spike questioned the locals and finds out Santa on this day every week does a march. Spike bought supplies at another store called Pixie's Engineering Department Store.
Fluttershy choose her jackets and boots, “I never thought it would be so cold.”
“Yeah, well it's the North Pole,” said Vixy, “Many people say that, unfortunately since I'm not an engineer people have to get ripped off by PIxie."
“Pinkie?” asked Fluttershy. “No, Pixie's Engineering Department Store. We're bitter rivals, because she overprices everything. But she says, 'That's Buisiness,'” Vixy said mockingly, “Enough about my personal life, how about yours?”
“Oh, well I am from Ponyville, I came to the North Pole to look for my bunny, Angel.”
“So, you're an animal person?”
“Yeah, they're my friends, but my best friends are the others in the Mane Six, we've saved Equestria on many occasions.”
“You're a heroine?!”
“Yeah, I guess, but I'm not the bravest.”
“Well, I think that if you stand up to your fears, that makes you the bravest.”
Fluttershy, blushed, “Thank you.”
“You're welcome, speaking of being brave, I think you should get a 100% discount on those jackets.”
“Thank you!”
“Goodbye,” Vixy, looked down at her note pad, “Fluttershy is an animal person.”
Spike began the setup and within 30 minutes completed a net that scoops up whoever stands on it. Fluttershy was searching around for Angel Bunny. It was time for Santa's March, “Ho, How, Ho!”
“Ho, Ho, Ho, Indeed Santa,” said Spike.
Fluttershy found somepony, or should we say somedragon, “SPIKE!” She ran quickly to him only to be caught in the net, “Eee!” “What are you doing, SPIKE??”
“Well, if you haven't read the first page already Santa hasn't delivered Rarity the diamond she wanted, so I'm going to kidnap Santa.”
“It's not worth it.”
“And best of all, I don't think you're going to be one to stop me, you know being in that net. Now that this plan has failed, I will have to make another, Good Luck, AT NOT STOPPING ME!” Spike, “HA! HA! HA!” Santa accidentally marched on Spike, Spike, “Ow! Ow! Ow!” Spike got up, “Well, there's business to do.”
Fluttershy, “You won't get away with this!” Spike hurried away to pursue his vision.
Applejack in the library was reading, “Wow, I didn't know books could be so insightful.”
Twilight, “it's just Hat in the Cat.”
“I mean an EMPAHSIS on Insightful.”
Anyway,” Twilight, “I think you've done enough for today.”
“But Sparkie, I don't wanna go home.”
“If you call me 'Sparkie' one more time, you won't be able to go home.”
“Sounds fine ta me.”
Applejack was pushed up by Twilight, “You're going no matter what, the library closes in 1 minute, the Apple family is outside.”
Applejack, “if you say so.”
Applejack and Twilight checked out the book, “I can't believe you won't stop reading,” said Twilight.
Madame Rouseau had accepted Rarity's fashion. Rarity, “Yes! Do you know what this means Sweetie Belle, you and your friends are going to be real fashion models.”
The CMC, “Yay!”
“I hope I'll look tough enough,” said Scootaloo.
Madame Rouseau, “You're first walk will begin six hours from now.”
Apple Bloom, “I wonder if Rarity can make new fashionable clothes by then.”
Sweetie Belle, “Don't doubt my big sis she's done incredible things.”
Apple Bloom, “Ok.”
Applejack and the others were passing Sugar Cube Corner, and the others saw the Cakes making a big delicious cake. “I'm sure Pinkie would love this,” Twilight said. With the Apples following Twilight except for Applejack. Applejack kept on reading.
Inside the shop, “How much will this delicious cake be.”
Mrs. Cake said, “The square root of 112.”
Twilight smiled, “Approximately 10.58300524426 gems, wow. That's very specific.” Twilight looked in her purse, “Where is that 0.000000000001 gem.”
Granny Smith , “This is going to take a'while.”
Big Mac, “Eyup.” Big Mac, “I have a question Granny Smith.”
“Sure,” replied Granny Smith.
“Who names their baby 'Granny'.” Granny Smith thought for a moment, “My mother?” “Who named their baby 'Big',” Granny Smith said trying to be witty.
“My mom,” said Big Mac.
“There we are even,” said Granny.
Twilight, “The transaction is complete, Where's Applejack?”
At the time, Twilight asked, Applejack was already at the Apple Acres farm. Rainbow, “Ok, Pinkie this warrants a break.”
“Okey Dokey boss!”
Rainbow turned, “Hey, Applejack, How are you doing? I'm doing awesomely. Hey how'd you feel about racing me on this track me and Pinkie constructed, Artemis gives us our blessings.” Applejack kept staring at her book, oblivious to Rainbow Dash. “Hey, egghead, we're supposed to race. Applejack accidentally walked onto a beam and it lifted to a higher part of the track. “Pinkie, what did I tell you about pressing random buttons.”
“To be safe and sane.”
What you just did was neither.”
“But what's the harm in flipping this switch.”
“Pinkie, that's the mixer-grinder machine! Luckily, Applejack is no where near it.” Applejack was 3 yards away from the machine. Rainbow, “Oh, my gods!” “Pinkie, if anything bad happens, the Internet will never stop making creepy stories of us!”
“You're right! What do we do?!”
“Pinkie, you find the emergency switch, I'll save Applejack!” There was only 7 seconds. Why not 10 or 5 you may think. But sometimes life only gives you 7 seconds.
Pinkie Pie scattered around the ground. Applejack was 2 ft away from the machine. Rainbow Dash made a Sonic Rainboom to Applejack. Saved! “You should be thankful I save you,” Rainbow said, “Do you ever pay attention anymore?”
Pinkie Pie lifted a mine and pressed the Emergency Stop switch, “Good thing I read the script,” with a smile.
“You're my hero Dash,” said Pinkie.
“I guess, but didn't I just save Applejack.”
“Yes, but you saved me from the suspense.”
“Anyway it seems Applejack has become an egghead.”
“What in tarnation is this?!” cried Granny Smith.
“It's Artemis's race track.”
Twilight, “it's impressive.”
“I know, but I wanted to race Applejack, but it seems there's a problem.”
Granny Smith, “The problem is, is that Twilight here been educating Applejack too much, now she doesn't stop.”
Rainbow Dash, “I've got a way to solve both our problems.”
“Well, what about this farm.”
“That would be triple problems, and I only do 2 a time.” Rainbow Dash took Applejack's book.
“Give it back!” Applejack said with anger.
“The Hat in the Cat,” said Rainbow, “only a novice egg-head would red that.”
Twilight, “I thought you read Daring Do's Adventures.”
“You're a stalker, how else would you know?”
“I lent you the book.”
“Whoops, well, uh, Daring Do is the most 20% cooler pony ever.”
“Applejack, you have to race me to get that book back.”
“You're on pardner.”
Twilight, “Should I tell Rainbow Dash that the Apple family members happen to be exceptionally strong?”
Big Mac, “No-up.”
Rainbow, “Let the race begin!” And the race started.
Rarity at her house told the CMC it was time to go.
Derpy, “What about me?!”
“Well you can stay along for the ride,” said Rarity.
“Yay!”
“I can't believe we're finally going to get our cutie marks,” said Apple Bloom.
“Chop, chop, we haven't all day,” said Madame Rouseau. It would be an exciting opportunity. They climbed into the carriage and drove off.
At the race, Rainbow Dash was in the lead, but they still had to go through a number of obstacles, such as the flam thrower, jaws of peril, catapult, and torment cave, Rainbow Dash had another surprise obstacle, she had a secret stash of apples. She let them go when there was only one block of the race left. Applejack's confusion alongside the slippery apples cause her to trip. Rainbow Dash won.
“Ya dirty cheater!”
“What, no, it's pure talent,” said Dash.
Applejack's rage couldn't contain itself and released it against a tree as a head-butt from Applejack, Rainbow Dash gasped. The tree was giant, and it was falling. Granny Smith and Big Mac desperately tried to hold it up.
“Rainbow! Come here, this is your fault!” said Granny Smith.
Rainbow realized the urgency of the situation, but was annoyed, “Why can't Applejack help?”
“She's to weak from putting all her energy in knocking down this tree.”
“Eyup,” said Big Mac. Applejack groaned.
Granny Smith, “It's too much!”
“Evacuate, every pony!” said Rainbow. They removed themselves from their spot. The tree as big as it was came to a big fall. A loud noise was heard in the distance. The ponies went to investigate.
Vixy the fox pony, “Fluttershy, there is something important I need to tell you.”
“Hey, Rainbow Dash, you may not like what I have to say,” said Granny Smith.
“Fluttershy, this may come as a shock to you.”
“The tree squashed Rarity's house.”
“I'm Santa's daughter.”
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash said in unison, “What?!” despite being in different locations.
“You're Santa's daughter?!”
“What will Rarity say?!”
Fluttershy was almost in shock, it was an absolute shock.
“Rainbow Dash this is your fault,” said Granny Smith, “If it wasn't for your cheatin' and boisterous ways, maybe this wouldn't have happened.”
“How did you come to that realization, Vixy?”
“Can we fix it, Granny?”
“Fluttershy, I've been a hobbyist detective ever since I was a filly.”
“We can.”
“I've always had fun investigating and trying to find solution to mystery. Specifically I discovered I was missing something everypony else had or should I say somepony everypony else had.”
“What, was it/somepony?”
“A father.”
“I decided to check the Sugar Office Birth Records, but only my mother was on the birth certificate. The father listed as anonymous. I grew instantly suspicious. So I saved up my money and bought a genetic testing lab kit. I had many suspects, but Santa I deemed was the most likely one. We both have white hair.”
Vixy emphasized her white mane, “I also decided to look at his schedule (that is organized into blocks), before I was born, it turns out that Santa would have a block everyday titled 'Checking it thrice.'” Something that didn't exist before. At first I thought t may be his growing obsession with perfection, but they stopped nine months before I was born, making it all more suspicious. During his weekly march, I lowered on e of the store enough worked, it also had a hair sticker device, that gave me a hair sample. It Was A MATCH!”
Fluttershy, “Well, I just learned that Spike intends to kidnap Santa to make sure Rarity gets the right present.”
Vixy, “Let me guess, Stalker type, somewhat manipulative.”
Fluttershy, “Totally Manipulative, he made the net I was caught in, he thought I wouldn't get out.”
Vixy,”You're lucky this mare saved you, also that explains why you were in a net.”
“How do we find Spike?”
“Why it is only a simple matter of reasoning.”
“Give me a description of the culprit.
“Dragon, purple, short, big eyes, scales.”
“I can picture it now,” said Vixy.
“How would a person of that description act,” commented Vixy, “he would use some place unlikely a pony would look at, make use of his thermal scales to withstand cold, capture much light with his big eyes, and jump very high due to light weight, and utilize small size to fit where most couldn't.”
“Follow me, Fluttershy.”
“Why are we going into that bush, Vixy?”
“Because Fluttershy, there is a secret tunnel will lead you to most of Christmas Town. It's a bit uncomfortable.”
They both entered the tight, cold, and some what snowy tunnel. Fluttershy, “It's so cold in here.”
“Don't worry Fluttershy, if we stay close, we can be warm together.
They finished the tunnel. “This is the spot,” Vixy exclaimed proudly. They emerged from a tree.
“You seem like the kind of person that would like to be a tree.” “How did you know,” Fluttershy said softly. “Just a feeling.”
“Why this looks like a barren, frozen, wasteland,” asked Fluttershy, looking around at the desolate area.
“Because this is where all the action happens, the Christmas Toy Center is really a decoy.” “Although the Christmas Toy Center, has a secret tunnel to The Real Christmas Office. Security on the Christmas Toy Center is too high. The Real Christmas Office has more lax security, plus Spike has high cold tolerance making the journey easy for him, but for s it's going to be tough.”
They looked out at a faint dot far away.
Spike was inside the The Real Christmas Office building. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was guarding the halls. “Luckily, I had enough money for this one reindeer tranquilizer, whispered Spike.
“Spike took aim and fired. Rudolph reviewed the plot of this story, and fainted.
Rudolph tired one hour later, started waking his eyes. He perceived a dark room. “What have I don wrong, did you find out about Arrow?”
“Not today, buster,” replied the purple dragon, “Tell me the location of Santa.”
Rudolph nervously looked down, faced his eyes up, “THE CRHISTMA S TOY CENTER!”
“Wrong, that was a decoy. Try again, Rudy.”
“How about I don't know, please why are you doing this?”
“Do you want the short answer or the long answer?”
“Both,” Rudolph sounded meekly.
“The short answer is that an interrogation happened on a birthday. The long answer is that I wanted Rarity to get the diamond she wanted, Santa screwed up!”
Spike stalked the room with darting eyes. After finishing Spike's pace, Rudolph said, “Why don't you fax him?”
“BECAUSE FAX IS OBSOLETE,” Spike screamed.
Rudolph, “Now you've done it, now the others will find us.”
“Wrong, when you were unconscious I gave you hearing amplifiers in your ear so everything sounds louder. I wasn't really screaming, and you weren't either. Your adrenaline rush blinded you.”
“Now tell me the location of Santa!” Spike demanded.
Rarity, Leon, Madame Rouseau, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle arrived at the train station. Rarity, “Tickets for 6 ponies, please.”
“That'll be 3 gems.”
“Why, that's a bargain,” Rarity delighted in saying.”
Derpy appeared, “Wait, you see, I got lost after I smelled Muffins, but it turns out the Muffins were chocolate, and I didn't like chocolate, so I got some chocolate-free muffins that taste like chocolate, but you were gone, so I remember the tracking devices I put on the dress, and that's how I found you.”
Rarity, “Did you put a tracking device on me!!”
“Just in case.”
Rarity humphed.
“So, how many ponies, is she in the group too?”
“Yes,” said Rarity.
“Well then you lose today's deal of 6 for 3, 7 gems please.” Rarity gave the gems, and looked at Derpy.
The conductor said, “All aboard!”
Vixy and Fluttershy approached the Real Christmas Office building. Fluttershy, “I hope Spike isn't too far ahead.”
“Santa's on lunch break, but should come out to the hexagram-shaped walk area,” said Spike. Spike took out a stuffed reindeer toy and ripped it up. “Now for another treat,” Spike sprayed ketchup on the poor stuffed animal. “It's complete.”
“Ho! Ho! Ho! Lookee what we have here! My underpaid worker underwent a homicide.” Spike briefly thought about how his pathetic attempt worked. Santa was in position. Spike tugged the rope. Santa looked up as his fate would be contained in a box. Santa was trapped in the box. Spike walked up. Spike gleefully said, “My pathetic plan worked. Luckily the box has holes.”
Santa shouted, “Help! I'm afraid of holes.”
Fluttershy, “We're finally here, glad Angel Bunny isn't here.”
“When we're done I'll help you find him,” said Vixy, “How to get in. Spike was so light, he probably catapulted himself on the roof. Where do we find a catapult?”
“You realize I'm a Pegasus.”
“Absolutely, Flutterdear I know many things about you.”
“No, I mean that I could fly you over.”
“What a wonderful idea,” Vixy chanted as she gave Fluttershy an enchanted kiss.
Fluttershy blushed, “It's just I've never been so close with somepony.”
“It's okay really,” Vixy said relaying a blush.
“No, we're doing this together,” said Fluttershy as she lifted Vixy to the top of the roof.
They looked down to see the laser security system, “INTRUDER. INTRUDER. INTRUDER ALERT.” Guards approached them.
“I retract my my reasoning, Fluttershy.”
The lead guard pony approached first, it was none other than Rusting Armor.
Fluttershy, “Is that an anti-clone of Shining Armor, Twilight's brother?!”
Vixy, “This conspiracy keeps getting weirder and weirder.”
“I heard when Twilight and Shining Armor were young they made music together.”
“I try to keep an open mind, as to not miss out on life.”
“Well, Well, Well,” Rusting Armor menacingly said.
“Ha, Ha, Ha,” said Vixy, “how, how, how,, not cliché.”
“Very funny,” Rusting Armor said. Fluttershy and Vixy were giggling, but soon stopped as Rusting Armor used a restrain spell.
Then it was into the dungeon for the new duo. “So if Spike didn't go on the roof, and it since it turns out there is an underground minefield. SPIKE MUST'VE GONE THROUGH THE WALLS, THERE'S NO SECURTIY THERE! I was in error, Spike is heavier than he looks and he can claw through the walls!” Vixy began sobbing, “I'M SO SORRY FLUTTERSHY, IT'S ALL MY FAULT TT! I'MMM SOO SORRYYYYY!” She was pouring buckets now.
“It's okay, everpony makes mistakes or errors,” Fluttershy gently said, as Vixy was calming down. “Everything will turn out fine if we work together,” Fluttershy cooed. They made what seemed like a long lasting embrace, but something would cut it short.
Spike looked over at his new interrogation subject, “Santa...”
“I'LL TALK, I'LL TALK, THE PRESENTS ARE ON THE THIRD FLOOR 16th WING!”
“Musn't be the first time, eh,” Spike said, casually leaving the room.
“The last person had the decency to untie me!”
Spike arrived at the 16th Wing of the third floor. Inside was a room, with many controls and many more machines. Spike went up to the control panel, and put Rarity's gift in the search bar, “At last I've found the gray diamond with blue highlights,” he hugged it.
“It's time for your interrogation Fluttershy and Vixy,” said the guard, “Santa's will be there for you,” she said holding the phone, “Wait, Santa is Missing!” She blushed.
“You realize paper-work aside, I'm a detective,” Vixy proudly stated.
Rarity and the others arrived at the fashion show, “Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, we have no time to lose.” They ran leaving Derpy, Leon, and Madame Roseau behind.
“Wait for me?!” said Derpy.
“Successful people don't wait, they go for the punchline,” stated Rouseau.
“I just work in the background,” Leon comfortably said.
“Will I always remain a background pony?!!” Derpy protested.
Rarity took the CMC inside the building, “Hurry, we must get inside the fashion setup room,” Rarity dressed up the CMC, “You are going to be the best models, besides me of course.” Apple Bloom tried to be tough, Sweetie Belle acted regal, and Scootaloo put on shades.
Rarity, “THAT is simply HORRID!” Scootaloo those don't go well with your outfit, the time difference is too great.” “You, wouldn't remove shades from a filly with shades.”
Rarity, “Yes, I would,” as she removed hem, “Apple Bloom, you can't push yourself you'll sweat, Sweetie Belle the regal actions don't support your nature-inspired dress.”
The CMC groaned, “If it's for our Cutie Marks.”
“You can't eat at all, just stay put to look perfect.”
“How long do we have to sit her,” said Scootaloo.
“Another hour,” replied Apple Bloom.
Vixy asked the guard, “When was Santa discovered to be missing?”
“Well, it was only a minute ago.”
“Okay, to effectively search for Santa, I need a clearance badge for opening high-level doors.”
“Here,” the guard said giving the clearance.
“I need to get the knowledge of how Spike knew where Santa is. We need to start at the beginning!”
“Didn't you say he went through the wall,” suggested Fluttershy, “Maybe he kidnapped a guard.”
“Why, I have to say, you've got a knack for reasoning!” Vixy cheered on Fluttershy.
“We have to got to the bottom floor, I need to high-level clearance too!” exclaimed Fluttershy.
“So which of you is the detective?”
“We both are!!” they said in unison.
Fluttershy and Vixy arrived at the first floor, Where they saw a hole in the wall certainly caused by Spike. The hole was snowy.
“Fluttershy, I see footsteps on the ground.”
“Let's follow, but I have another question, 'Do guards clock in and out?”
“No, the bosses don't even care,” said the prison guard named Eliza.
“We are underpaid, it doesn't matter how hard we work, the money goes to the toys and fancy security systems,” Eliza complained. They followed the footsteps, but they were gradually getting less snow on them.
Fluttershy, “We must reason where went instead.”
Vixy, “The victim will have to be in a hard access location, and since guards have top security clearance it would be reasonable for him to take the clearance from the guard and do an interrogation in a high clearance room.”
They briefly searched before finding the closest high-clearance room.
“Ladies first,” said Vixy as she opened the door using her clearance. Inside it was dark, Rudolph still tied to a chair shivering. “We're here to save you,” she helped Rudoph and removed the the earpiece, “It's ok.”
“Thank you, you saved me!”
“Vixy's mainly responsible.”
“I'm forever in your debt.”
“No, need, we just need to know where you told Spike Santa was.”
“I said he would be in the hexagram-shaped walk area.”
“Now it's not would be it's was be,” Vixy said.
They then arrived as Rudoph let them ride him.
“You still remember I'm a Pegasus right,” said Fluttershy.
“So am I, no biggie,” said Eliza. They got off Rudoph.
“We must search the scene of crime,” said Vixy. Vixy initiated the scan, and it soon was over, “Ah ha!
“What is it,” said Eliza.
“Not blood!!” said Fluttershy. “You're right, ketchup,” said Vixy tasting it, “Also if you look closely you'll see stuffing probably from… a toy reindeer,” she guessed, “if you want to fake a homicide.”
“Look, rope,” said Fluttershy, “it was probably tied to something.”
“In this case, it was… hmm.. oh, look cardboard… a box… inefficient.., but possible, “ said Vixy.
“Follow the stuffing, the to must've been torn. They hurried following the clues.
“This should be where Santa is, it has another high clearance,” reported Vixy. They opened the door to see nothing. “WHAT,” said Vixy most of all surprise, “where would Santa be?” She ran out of the room, running to the high building.
“Wait-up,” said Fluttershy. Vixy immediately stopped, “Why?”
“You can't dash off like that, I already that does?”
“You're right, I'm just agitated.”
“Excuse me, sir,” Fluttershy asked a nearby pony, “Santa's missing.”
“HE IS!” the stallion exclaimed.
“Yes, it was on the intercom,” said Vixy.
“The intercom never went off,” said the stallion. “I think I know where to look Fluttershy.”
“They Electrical Control Room?” Eliza questioned.
“Certainly, the circuit that relays information to speakers must've been cut, that would do it.”
“How'd you know that?” asked Fluttershy.
“This is Christmas Town the circuits are like old-fashion Christmas Lights on a Christmas tree, knock out one part and the whole thing goes down.” They opened the door to the Electrical Control Room. “Also Santa was probably dropped off here,” said Vixy.
“Unexpected,” reported Vixy. The room had a deep, dark, pit which the bottom of couldn't be seen, at the end of the room though was a platform and a hall of electrical controls. “A room withing a room, huh,” said Vixy, “what a challenge. Eliza, please supply me with a grappling hook, Fluttershy stay here, I'll be back for you.” Vixy was setting up the grappling hook.
“WAIT!” shouted Fluttershy, “I want to be with you, even though it's scary and dangerous, I want to take that chance with you.”
“Don't worry it won't be scary.” Vixy put her hoof around Fluttershy and jumped holding the grappling hook. Hey looked at each other and kissed, in that moment Fluttershy was no longer afraid. Her loved one was here to stay, and that made swinging on the grappling hook a long, but peaceful experience. Then they jumped on the platform. They gazed at the expansive wall of buttons and dials, but faced the hallway. They saw none other than Santa Claus.
Vixy ran and united him and she began fixing the intercom system. “Ho! Ho! Ho! Now, I've got to work on my present for all the little ponies and to be inclusive Zebras, Pegasuses, Unicorns, Alicorns, Dogs, Dragons, and who-know-whats-out-theres.”
“Oh, really?!” said Vixy flustered, “Well, why didn't you give me presents or spend time with me.”
“Well, I don't know what you're talking about,” replied Santa.
“I'M YOUR DAUGHTER!” shouted Vixy so loudly even Eliza could hear it.
“Who've we been working for,” said Eliza.
“Why didn't you do anything for me?!”
“Because I had to work on all the presents for the children (inclusive, but not of adults).”
“But I was a child once too, your child!!”
“But the workshop, and me being Santa Claus.”
“You should've protected yourself! Now you'll have to protect yourself from my lawsuit, and your underpaid workers' lawsuits.”
“Oh, dear,” said Santa.
“Fluttershy, we found him, let's go, and Santa the only reason I'm bringing you p with us is, because I promised.”
They grappling hooked their way to the door. “Ho! Ho! Ho! Now this is what I call a playground.” They met up with Eliza and Rudolph.
“Here's Santa,” Vixy reported. “You can use the intercom system now, and warn of a small purple dragon intruder,” Vixy said sadly.
“Vixy, we can still stop Spike,” said Fluttershy.
“What for?”
“For all the children so we can help them.”
“You're right. YOU'RE RIGHTT!”
“Let's get Spike Claus!” they said in unison. With their newfound determination, they got to the top floor, but the doo to the roof was jammed.
“Spike, you've been naughty,” said Vixy, “the intercom doesn't extend to the roof, the reindeers working on the sleigh must not know he is an impostor.”
Vixy turned on the video interface to the roof, Spike's face appeared on scree. Spike, “FLUTTERSHY! Who are you, fox pony?”
“My name is Vixy, and we've figured out your games, we free Rudoph and Santa and we're coming for you.”
“I doubt that, I'm invincible, plus Rarity would be so disappointed!”
“Rarity would be terrified if she knew what you were doing!” shouted Fluttershy.
“Oh, well, she'll never know.”
The CMC's one hour was up, “Yay!!” they shouted.
“It's time for you on stage.”
The CMC went and did their strut, showing each other off.
“Why that's new fashion for you!” shouted a random critic.
“That's fabulous!”
“Most well designed!”
There was a loud roar. Everypony looked. “Ohweohohohohwaoh,” a jungle cry was shouted. There was a tiger, and a gray pony vine swinging across the fashion party.
“Is that a blond afro!?”
“Metal antennas attached to a pink headband!”
“Army camo socks!”
“Leopard skin leotard!”
It was none other than Derpy Hooves! “I WILL NO LONGER BE A BACKGROUND PONY!!!”
The audience gasped.
Scootaloo, “Is that Derpy?”
Apple Bloom, “Yup.”
“Arggh,” shouted Derpy.
The audience gasped again. “What about the tiger?!” The tiger roared menacingly, and terrorized the crowd, Derpy brought out her Muffin Mini-Cannon.
“Not on my watch,” Derpy fired at the tiger filling him up with Muffins. Then Derpy fired the muffin canon in her mouth too, “Those are good Muffins.”
The audience was silent, broken by a single steady clapper.
“Woo-hoo!”
Others joined in the clap. “Yay!”, “Woo!”, “Amazing!”, “What a unique presentation!”, “On with the show!”, “Encore!” the crowd was filled with these responses.
“I thought encore was only for music,” commented Rarity.
Derpy sat down and relaxed.
“Hey, handsome I wanna make a deal with you what's your name,” asked a model agent.
“DeRpY!!”
“Do you want to be in Stables Illustrated,” asked another model searcher.
“Yes!”
“Do you want to be in Glamour Pony?” asked another.
“Definitely.”
“Can I have your autograph?” asked a new fan.
“Sure!”
“I have pictures of your wild intro,” said Leon Lens.
“Give them to me!” Derpy said happily, “I'm no longer in the background!”
Rarity and he CMC left. Rarity was crushed, the CMC were relieved.
“It's okay Rarity, we didn't like the pressure anyway,” said Sweetie Belle.
“But the money, how did Derpy win?”
“She had an assertive attitude,” suggested Scootaloo.
Apple Bloom, “We ignored her it's like how in Cinderella the sister got fancy dresses, but Cinderella was left behind. But Cinderella still go Prince Charming.”
Rarity groaned on the train ride home.
Rarity's house was finished being fixed, when Rarity was still on the train.
Rainbow Dash, “Thank you, Pinkie you've been quite a help.”
“You're welcome!”
“I don't know how to pay you, here are my tonsils from 2nd grade.”
“Thank you!”
“HELP US TWILIGHT! THERE”S AN OVERSIZED PIG RAVAGING THE TOWN,” said a townspony.
Twilight, “Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, the Apple Family keep a look out, we must stop this pig, and protect Rarity's restored house.”
“Santa, are we ready to go?” Cupid asked Spike. For they did not find him an impostor.
“Almost,” said the impostor. For the sleigh was filled with only one thing Rarity's gift. There was only thing left to do, Spike used the enlarging spell to make Rarity's gift extra special. Spike, “It's ready.” And they went off.
Not long, before Vixy, Fluttershy, Rudolph, and Eliza broke through the jammed door, the saw Spike at the distance. “What will we do?” asked Fluttershy.
Eliza, “Spike is gone now.”
“No need for desperation. Rudolph will you let me and Fluttershy ride you?”
“Yes, but before you do, here's a present.”
“No thank you, you're outdoing yourself by letting us ride, this is too much.”
“There's a note.”
“Wow, thank you, Rudolph Will Be The New Santa!” They took off.
“Good Luck!” shouted Eliza.
“Pinkie, Rarity's house can't be ruined again! We just fixed it,” said Rainbow Dash.
“I'm keeping a look out,” said Pinkie.
“Too bad the Apples and Twilight had to go to track down the pig, we're open to attack.”
“Ahhhhh!” shouted three random strangers, the pig knocked them over.
The pig set it's eyes on Rarity's house. “Oh no, you don't” said Rainbow.
The oversized pig charged at them. “I know what to do!” shouted Rainbow, as she did a sonic rainboom at the pig. She missed and drove deep into the crowd.
“Uh oh,” said Pinkie, she used her party cannon. It drove her backward making a hole in Rarity's house big enough for the pig. “Oh no no No!”
Spike was delighting in his narcissist complex. He looked in the side view mirror, and thought, “They're getting close, oh well they can't defeat me.” Five minutes later, Spike checked again and thought, “Ay, ay, ay, they're so close,” Spike was nervous he looked at the mirror it said 'Objects Closer Than They Appear', “Yipes!!” thought Spike.
Fluttershy, “We've almost got him now!”
Spike, “Hey Blitzen, there's a rather large bird behind us, how do I get rid of it?”
“Didn't you read the manual, Santa, it's in the glove compartment.”
Spike read the manual, “Look at this net that I just found,” he pressed the button. A net caught Vixy, Fluttershy, and Rudolph sending them plummeting to the ground. That ground was the Everfree Forest!
“It's dark, I wonder what kind of trees these are? Asked Vixy.
“Oww, ow,” exclaimed Rudolph.
Fluttershy gasped, “Rudolph broke his leg.”
“What should we do, Fluttershy?” asked Vixy.
“I know somepony,” said Fluttershy with confidence.
“Ha, that took care of them, “ said Spike.
“Took care of who?” asked Cupid.
“Nothing, ONWARD!”
The ginormous pig inside Rarity's house was ravaging everything. Rainbow Dash gasped and Pinkie said, “Say away from that you meanie!” Twilight Sparkle appeared at the entrance to the hole.
“Thank you!” Rainbow said in desperation. Twilight Sparkle in a god-like booming voice said, “You have caused enough trouble and you'd be a trouble to contain. WITH THE POWER OF MY NEW MAGIC I WILL BANISH YOU TO THE QUANTUM REALM.”
“No, please, I know I've been bad lately, but this is extreme,” Rainbow pleaded. And the unicorn's horn lit up and the pig was banished, “Oh, you didn't mean me?” said Rainbow.
“Surprise!!” said Pinkie. “Don't joke about that,” Rainbow said punching Pinkie.
“I'm finally here,” said a familiar voice, “I got the lasso.”
“Hey, Applejack,” said Twilight, “Whoops.”
Fluttershy leaded the others to Zecora's tree house. Zecora was just arriving with groceries and dropped them running to help, “You are hurt indeed, you are urgent in need.”
Fluttershy, “Will it be ok?”
“It'll be fine, then we may have time to dine.”
“But we have to… what do you think, Vixy?”
“I think it would be rude to ignore the acquaintance of such an altruistic zebra.”
Rudolph was given a potion, and his leg was healed. ”For now we shall dine, the bill will be mine.” They ate for a while, Fluttershy had a delicious salad, Vixy had a saucy veggie burger, and Rudoph had carrot cake.
Vixy, “Can I borrow your recipes, Zecora.”
“You can, in them a universal tool is a pan,” replied Zecora.
Vixy, “Fluttershy, I can make that salad everyday.” Fluttershy smiled in return.
“Are you a couple, your emotions seemed to be supple?”
“Well, we've only been together for half of the day,” said Fluttershy.
“But in that time we've been through quite an adventure,” added Vixy.
“Maybe you should make your history of events and not time, keep on waiting ad the yearly clock will chime.”
“That sounds nice,” Fluttershy said.
“I'd hate to be a rude party host, but you must go, before Spike is gone like a ghost.”
“She's right,” said Vixy, “Nice to meet, maybe I'll be the host next time.”
Rudolph, “That cake was good,” Fluttershy said bye. Zecora gave parting gifts, and the couple along with Rudolph went. They hoped it wasn't too late.
Rarity arrived at the train station, “Today''s been awful, I just want to get to my relaxing home.”
“It hasn't been that bad,” said Apple Bloom, “Derpy won, and we didn't really want to be models.”\ Rarity you have to 'try, try, again'.”
Spike was now hovering over Ponyville, Spike steered reindeers until they were hovering over Rarity's house, “THIS WILL BE AN AWESOME CHIRSTMAS!” Rarity's house did not have a chimney. “Hmm,” Spike thought. Spike decide to take the diamond out of the bag. It sure was heavy. Spike, “If I land this in front of Rarity's house everything should be fine.”
Spike dropped the smooth diamond on Rarity's house, by accident, “Eeepp!” The reindeers surprised landed the sleigh to check the damage.
Rarity showed up at her house, her jaw, dropped, “What happened?”
Spike decided to to play if off, “Merry Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho!”
“Christmas isn't for another 10 days, SPIKE!”
“Wait, a second you're not Santa,” said Donner.
“You destroyed my house, Spike! Where will I live?!”
“But you got your present!”
“How did you know, plus it's too big?!”
“I peaked into your list, plus it can be shrunk.”
Spike was jumped by none other than Fluttershy, “How do you like being trapped?!” she said angrily.
With Spike, sent to jail. Spike, “How did Rainbow Dash get away with stealing from the hospital?????” his voice trailed away. Fluttershy and Vixy exchange glances, and Vixy opened the lid of Rudolph's present, it was a ring.
Vixy kneeled down, “Fluttershy, will you marry me.”
Fluttershy, “I do.” “OMG, I forgot Angel Bunny,” said Fluttershy breaking the moment.
“Don't worry, we can go to Christmas Town and this time it'll be a vacation,” Vixy said in happiness
So, Princess Celestia, Angel Bunny was found, Derpy's a super model and will get a mansion, and your new detective-without-paperwork-friend is planning the wedding with my dear Fluttershy.
Sincerely, your new friend, Vixy
P.S. Zecora has a ton of amazing recipes.
