Changeling Kingdom 8:00pm

In the Changeling Kingdom, the Changeling King known as Thorax was seen packing his black coloured backpack in his bedroom after a long day of hard work running his hive and assisting his subjects with many of the works as a duty of a King. And the reason behind why he is packing his bag was because he is going to pay Canterlot a visit for their hearth's warming eve party. And this event has gotten him very exhilarated.

"Okay so that's my water bottle packed, now all that's left is the present." Thorax said, he then turned his head to his right and faced the present that was for Twilight, the mare of her dreams. He then activated his horn and levitated the rectangular present up in the air and floated it to his backpack. Once it got to his backpack, he placed it inside and zipped it "Alright, everything has been accomplished!" Thorax exclaimed in an exuberant tone.

Thorax has received message from his friend Cadence that Twilight was going to be attending the party along with her friends and Spike. And that has gotten him very happy because, he and Twilight have been dating each other for six months now and nothing has ever went wrong. They read books together, ate food, drank milkshakes, played games and many more.

"I hope that Twilight will love this gift." Thorax hoped. Then after a brief moment, he turned around and faced his bedroom door "Alright, time to go to Canterlot, hopefully Pharynx will do well in taking care of the hive while I am gone." He said to himself.

After that, Thorax walked towards his bedroom door. Once he got to it, he gripped onto the handle and pulled it open, after that, he stepped out of his bedroom. Then, Thorax turned to his right and started to run to the downstairs of the hive which leads to the front doors of the Changeling Kingdom.


Thorax has arrived at the front gates of his Kingdom after running downstairs as well as the first level hallway for a minute. He then encountered two guards who bowed when they saw their King.

"Hello my subjects." Thorax greeted with a smile "I'll be heading to Canterlot now, and be sure to always follow Pharynx's instructions as well as helping our changelings while im gone okay?" He asked them.

"Will do King Thorax." The two guards said in unison.

"Wonderful!" Thorax said with a proud smile.

After that, the two guards pushed the gates of the Changeling Kingdom open and Thorax walked out of his Kingdom. Then, he spread his shelled wings and took off to Canterlot.


Thorax has reached Ponyville after flying for twenty minutes, he has decided to pay Ponyville a visit to see their decorations as well as what the ponies are doing there. This might even be a good chance for him to rest up from flapping his wings for too long.

He made a landing on the ground in the middle of Ponyville and started to scrutinize the town. And when he did, he saw many ponies in suits and dresses in preparation for the wonderful and exhilarating occasion that is ahead of them all.

The town was also covered in snow, there were sparkling lights, snow ponies, and many more merriment things that the ponies do during Hearth's warming eve from what he has heard from his friend Shining Armor.

"Wow just wow, the ponies here do know how to decorate and prepare themselves for festivals and occasions." Thorax said with an astonished expression. Then, after five seconds, he shook his head and snapped out of his thoughts. "Ah anyways, I still have to go to Canterlot, there's only a few more minutes left until the party starts." He told himself.

Then, Thorax spread his shelled wings and flew up in the air again. After that, he took off to Canterlot once more so that he could get to the party in time before it starts.


Canterlot 8:50pm

King Thorax has officially arrived at Equestria's capital Canterlot. He landed in the middle of town where some Royal guards bowed their heads to the King of the Changeling Kingdom. And Thorax simply waved his hoof at them in response.

"Alright, time to go to Canterlot."

Then, Thorax started to run to Canterlot as fast as he can before the party starts.


Thorax has managed to arrive at Canterlot castle in the nick time of time before the party commenced. And he is now in the garden area of Canterlot with many ponies talking to each other as well as eating some food and drinking some drinks.

"Wow, this occasion sure looks very cool." Thorax said with a flabbergasted expression. But, the decorations were the ones that astonished him the most.

Thorax was going to explore a bit but then, an intimate voice stopped him.

"Hey Thorax!"

Thorax turned his head to his left and saw his buddy Shining Armor running towards him in an exuberant manner.

"Shining!" Thorax exclaimed with a smile at the sight of one of his best friends.

Once Shining Armor got to Thorax, the two of them did their hoofshake and chuckled at the end.

"So what do you think about the party Throax?" Shining asked him.

"Looks very good." Thorax replied with a smile "This festival and party is going to be extremely exuberant if ya ask me." He added.

"Heck yeah it will!"

Thorax let out a chuckle when he saw his friend's exhilarating manner towards the party that is going to commence soon. Then, he remembered something, and that is, he needed to find Twilight in order to give the present to her.

"Oh right Shining."

"Yes Thorax?"

"Do you know where Twilight is?" He asked in an anxious tone.

When Shining heard his inquiry, a smirk appeared on his muzzle because, he knows that Thorax and Twilight habe been dating each other for a while now and they are now attracted and in love with each other. And he remembered the time when he and his parents were making fun of Twilight saying that she views him as a smart and brave Changeling King with the machismo and many more. Then, Shining Armor snapped out of his thoughts of the nostalgia and started to answer Thorax's question.

"She right over there buddy." Shining said as he pointed behind him.

Thorax looked at where Shining Armor was pointing at, and when he did, his eyes widened at what he saw in front of him.

In front of him was Twilight talking to her friends. She is wearing a sparkly blue dress, her hair is combed smoothly, she has a crown on him, and she had purple lipsticks on her lips.

"Oh wow, she is very elegant." Thorax thought with his cheeks flushing a little.

When Shining notice Thorax's state, he must assume that he is astonished by her glamor. Then, a sneaky plan was formulated in his head. He walked up behind him and drew both his hooves back. After that, he pushed Thorax towards Twilight.

"Ah!" Thorax yelled as he was sent forward a little.

He looked back behind him and shot Shining Armor an irked expression but Shining was snickering. Thorax must assume that this was his plan in getting him and Twilight together. He then took a deep breath and turned around. After that, he walked towards Twilight.

Princess Twilight Sparkle was seen putting an empty glass of apple juice on a table after drinking it. After that, she was going to talk to her friends again. But then, some hoofsteps noises stopped her.

Twilight looked to her left and saw her special somepony Thorax coming towards him. And her eyes widened when she saw him, he was dressed in a tuxedo with a green bow tie on his chest, and he looked very handsome.

"Oh wow, Throax looks so handsome." Twilight thought with glittering eyes. Her cheeks flushed a bit too.

Rainbow was perplexed when she saw that Twilight wasn't responding to her. She looked at where she was looking and noticed Thorax in front of her. Then, a smirk appeared on her muzzle because, she knew what was going on right now. After five seconds, Rainbow Dash stood behind Twilight and drew both her hooves back. Then, she pushed Twilight towards Thorax.

"Ah!" She yelled.

Thorax immediately stopped in his track when he saw Twilight getting pushed near him by Rainbow Dash. After five seconds, Twilight let out a vexed grumble and rubbed her back with her left hoof. But then, she noticed that she was standing in front of Thorax. She looked up at him with her cheeks flushing slightly.

"H-hello Twilight."

"H-hello Thorax." Twilight said anxiously "I am glad that you could come here." She said with a smile.

"I am glad too." Thorax said with a nod sand it is all thanks to you and your friends for notifying me." He said with a grateful smile.

"You're very welcome Thorax." Twilight said.

Twilight was going to talk to him further but then, she was stopped when Thorax reached into his backpack with his magic, and the sight has made her bewildered. After ten seconds, Throax has pulled out a rectangular shaped gift wrapped in a purple paper wrap.

"Here's my gift to you Twily." Thorax told her with a smile "Happy Hearth's warming eve." He finished.

Twilight gasped when she saw the gift box. She then grabbed it with her magic and teleported it in her home.

"Thank you so much Thorax." Twilight said with her cheeks flushing.

"You're very welcome Twilight."

Twilight was going to say something else but then, a noise coming from the DJ booth stopped her. She looked in front of her and behind Thorax and saw Pinkie and Vinyl behind the DJ booth preparing to play some songs. And many ponies were seen walking to the large dancing station.

"Oh Thorax, the dance is about to begin!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Let's go!" Twilight said as she grabbed thorax's hoof and rushed to the dancing area.
