It was the time of year where ponies should've been the most charitable. But in a city in particular the ponies were cold and heartless toward the less fortunate. A poor family was close to eviction and almost broke. The father's 401k was dry and social security was non-existent and the emergency fund was far spent. The family sat huddled over a meager meal of gruel and their small house was drafty and not well insulated, their only foal was sick and close to death.

The temperature was dropping and Hearth's Warming Even was just hours away, the young filly was barely breathing and the breathing was getting shallower. As hope was fading, a green unicorn appeared and quickly used a spell to reverse the age of the house, and pulled from some void hot food, and a massive collection of bags filled with bits. The filly tried to walk over to give the newcomer a proper welcome but collapsed.

Mistletoe ran over and placed the filly on an old sofa. The mare did her best to encourage the filly and tried a healing potion to reduce the raging fever that she felt from the filly. To no avail the life force of the filly was waning; "C'mon sweetie, you gotta make!" In the back of her mind, she thought, "For the love of the holiday Celestia let her live!"

Meanwhile...

"Luna, we've watched Mistletoe for the entirety of her life; if Cadence and Twilight agree we should give this mare alicorn status. This family will be in shambles if their filly doesn't survive."

"Yes, sister we shall ask Cadence and Twilight at once. I fear we may be too late."

Mistletoe & the Princesses

Mistletoe and the parents of the dying fully stooped in awe as the alicorns stood before them.

A raspy voice was heard and a cough came from the hallway; Mistletoe galloped to the sound with the parents on her heels. Mistletoe was soon seen holding the filly in her forelegs as the form went limp.

As the grief became thick in the air, Mistletoe saw the shadow of a unicorn walking away; Mistletoe used the most powerful spell she knew and to the other ponies there was no change to be seen. Mistletoe used a spell to transfer her life to the form of the filly. When the filly blinked her eyes open she froze as she had retained all of her memories wept.

The filly had begged Luna and Celestia to resurrect Mistletoe. When Mistletoe awoke, she was confused and quickly was brought to speed.

The family was able to have a very happy Hearth's Warming Eve, and Mistletoe was very happy that she was able to help this family and she mentally added the family to her list of ponies she had helped over the years.
"Mistletoe, as a reward for your heart and the power you've had since birth has been used to help others we wish to bestow upon you alicorn status."
