Like Father,Like Son

Ch. 9 Hearth’s Warming Day

As I was flying home with Luna, I suggested she stay for Hearth’s warming. I wanted to be able to catch up on the years I spent away from her. Also, I had spent so many christmases alone in my previous life on Earth. She happily agreed we arrived home at around ten or eleven

We landed and we walked inside. “Wow. it was cold out there. Even with how fast we were flying.” I said, folding my wings

“Well when its cold out and you are flying of course it will make you colder” Luna halfass joked with me still it was funny i gotta say

I leaned closer and whispered in her ear. “I’m going to put all of the presents under the tree. Want to help me?” I asked, since I wouldn’t want to damage any of the presents while carrying them.

“Yes that would be great but maybe you could not be in your anthro form for the sake of Hearths Warming please” Luna said

“Ok. I’ll be in my pony form after I put the presents under the tree.” I said with as much honesty as I could muster

“Well that seems fair AS LONG AS A CERTAIN COLT IS STILL IN BED” Luna shouted knowing that BlueBlood was still awake

I turned and saw him. “Come on son. Time for you to get to bed. It’s 11:30 at night.” I said to him.

“I am not awake i am sleep talking and going to bed now” BlueBlood said closing his door

I smiled. “Now to put those presents under the tree.” I said, and motioned for Luna to follow me to my room where the presents were. I unlocked the deadbolt on my door and opened it. “I had to lock it so he wouldn’t be sneaking in there while we were gone.” I said

“Smart seems a bit creepy but smart” Luna chirped

I smiled. I took the small presents first then helped Luna with the larger ones.

“Oh to be young again looking forward to presents under the tree” Luna giggled

“I know, right?” I said in agreement as we pushed the last present into place.

“Imagine his delight when he does not get a book for once that is all Tia got him was books saying it would help him out in the future”

“Wow. I remember one christmas my parents got me a dictionary.” I said. “It was the worst christmas present ever.”

“I am sure it helped in some ways but who knows it might not have” Luna deadpanned

I shrugged and did my double frontflip and was in my pony form, as I had promised. I was tired, and I could see Luna was too. “If you want to Mom, you could share my bed with me. I don’t mind.” I said while halfway up the stairs.

“No i will snooze on a cloud” Luna said making a dark cloud appear in the living room

I instantly wanted to sleep on a cloud myself. “think you could make another one?” I asked

“Why of course” Luna then made a blue cloud “Its just a simple spell well its hard but i find it simple”

I got on my cloud and was met with the softest bed I ever slept on. “So soft... much softer than a mattress I’ll tell you that.” I said

“I will fix that tomorrow” Luna said with a wink “It is not that hard you know”

“Anyway.. lets get some rest.” I said, and fell asleep

“You might want to wake up its five in the morning” Luna whispered into my ear poking me with a stick

I woke up slowly. “I’m up, I’m up.....” I yawned loudly. Only to be poked with the stick again

“I’m up!” I said and got off my cloud

“What this is how i woke Tia up thousands of year ago” Luna giggled “Oh it was funny”

“You want to know how early I had to wake up one day?” I asked, still pretty damn tired

“No how early was it?”

“One time, I had to get up at 2 in the morning.” I said

“That is nothing one time i did not sleep for a month i was addicted to coffee”

“Wow.” I said, surprised at that

“It took Tia forever to find any and all coffee in the castle that i hid”

“Wow!” I said still shocked at that

“Want some coffee, Mom?” I said, now that I was fully awake, and was already walking to the kitchen. I had started to make some, and soon the aroma of fresh coffee was all through the living room. I Loved the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. I started making food so I would have something in my stomach.

I was making biscuits, eggs, and hash browns for breakfast, and I could tell Luna wanted some. “Want some, Mom?” I asked, obviously knowing the answer would be yes. I was still tired since she woke me up at 5 in the morning, but the smell of food and coffee was more than enough to wake me up.

Once breakfast was done, I heard little hoofsteps coming down the stairs in a hurry. “Morning son. Sleep well?” I asked, seeing him in a happy mood on the morning of December 25th. I then turned around and saw the pile of presents had, quite literally, tripled in size. “I didn’t see that happen. I only remember getting a certain number of presents.” I said, slightly surprised at the sheer size of the present pile.

“Well BlueBlood did have some stuff he got for you” Luna said

“Wow.” I said, and was surprised that for the first time in a while, someone got me something for Christmas/Hearth’s warming.

“Yup he made all of them himself” Luna stated

“Wow.” I said then ruffled BlueBlood’s mane with a hoof

“Yup i hope that you like them” BlueBlood

“I hope I will. Lets eat then open our presents.” I said, and dished everypony some breakfast. I am still getting used to pony vocabulary, but hey. I’m learning it.

“ Wait why aren't you walking on two legs?” BlueBlood asked

“Lets just say someone convinced me otherwise.” I said and smiled at Luna

“Lets just go with that” Luna said as she began eating

I smiled and ate my breakfast as well. I was glad that I had someone to spend christmas/hearth’s warming with.

After breakfast was over and done with, we set to literally tearing open our presents.

“Well this is a little surprise i made for you* BlueBlood said carrying a present to me

I took it. “Thanks!” I said and tore it open. It was a small wooden sculpture of my truck. “I love it! Great job!” I said

“Thanks it took me awhile to make but it was worth it”

“It was.” I said, and pushed a box towards Luna with a smile.

“Oh and what is this” Luna asked opening it

“I knew how much you liked stargazing, so I got you a new telescope!” I said with a smile.

“I love it Steel” Luna said giving me a hug

I hugged her back and smiled. I took the moment to show Luna that I loved her, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Aww thank you Steel”

“You’re welcome Mom.” I said and hugged her again. We continued opening presents until no more remained to be opened.

“Hey what about me?” BlueBlood asked

I gave him a kiss on the cheek as well.

“Well Steel I could use a little nap” Luna yawned out

“Ok. I could use one too.” I said, since I was tired after an exciting day, and napped on my cloud next to Luna’s. I was happy to have people or in this case, ponies to spend a holiday with. It warmed my heart.
