HE ISSS REAL

Dear Princess Celestia

Hello Princess! It's been a while since I sent you a letter like this, but this is by far one of the most important letters I will ever send to you. It seems like there has been an underlying issue boiling within Equestria for years now, it is a piece of mass misinformation that is poisoning the minds of ponies everywhere. Ponies seem to believe that Santa is not real! So, many colts and fillies believe that the presents which appear under their tree are from their parents, who lie to them about Santa. Which we both know is complete and utter nonsense. I have been writing to Santa every year and Santa always delivers the books I want under the tree, so unless Spike has been doing it all this time (which obviously he has not) Santa is 100% definitively a real entity.

I have gathered up all of my books in the library and read them over twice, and yet I have not found /any/ reference to the definitely real Santa, therefore, there could only be ONE realistic possibility. You have all of the information regarding Santa locked away in a hidden vault in Canterlot. The only way for me to clear up this misinformation regarding the none existence of Santa is in the following request. I Princess Twilight Sparkle request complete unrestricted access to the Canterlot Royal library, in order to find everything I can on the existence of Santa. Yes, this includes the Dark Magic sections, I need /EVERYTHING/ to show the citizens of Equestria the COMPLETE AND UTTER TRUTH.

This may seem like a hefty demand, but remember what is on the line here Princess, all of Hearth’s Warming is on the line. If this misinformation continues then slowly over time fillies and colts will lose hope in Hearth Warming, believing that Santa is not really delivering the presents. Without hope Santa won’t be able to power his magic sled, which we all know is powered on hope, and if he can’t power his magic sled, then he won’t be able to deliver any presents, and if the foals and fillies can’t get presents they will lose hope in the empire, the crystal heart will fail, Sombra will return, and then all of Equestria will collapse as the 4 tribes break off from each other, and then I will then be sent to magic kindergarten because I failed as the Princess of Friendship!

This is why it is so IMPORTANT to prove to the people the existence of Santa Claus and I am willing to do anything and everything in my power to show to all ponies the absolute truth of Santa’s existence. After all, we live in a world where Alicorns lift the sun and moon, is it really such a stretch to believe that Santa magically delivers presents to foals?

Your faithful Princess, Twilight Sparkle

“Alright, Spikesend it” Twilight gleefully smiled in satisfaction, she knew in her heart that she was gonna save Equestria and more importantly Hearth Warming.

“Are you… sure Twilight, uhhh” Spike read the letter over one more time, he peered down at the letter and then up to Twilight, a sense of dread slowly creeping in “Cause uhh, you know-..”

“I know it is a lot to ask, but the fate of Equestria is once again in my hooves, I was right about Nightmare Moon remember,” Twilight’s smile grew wider “Don’t Worry Spike, I got this, don’t worry about me, I /know/ I will be able to show the truth, plus I also asked Santa for a bunch of books regarding his existence this year, you know him and I are very good friends we-” Twilight trailed on talking about how great and real Santa was, spike mostly fazed her out in his mind, he has gotten really good at doing that over a lifetime living with this particularly talkative Lavender Alicorn, he used his quill to take the opportunity, to write add a little note in the letter.

Please don’t burst her bubble

Spike then took a deep breath in and exhaled fire, engulfing the letter in green flame. “Well, hm Twilight, I think it is about time to head to sleep, after all, you don’t want to see Santa otherwise he won’t deliver the presents… and books, mostly books.” Spike shifted his weight and forced a Gummy smile “And you don’t want to catch Santa do you?”

“Oh don’t worry, I sent sensors and alarms all over the castle, so I can prove Santa’s existence this year” Twilight was particularly jumping up and down, in glee “You see Spike, I am always prepared to do whatever is necessary for Equestria.”

“Oh, Greattt… Can you tell me where the off and on switches to those sensors are?” Spike at that moment felt like crying.

“Oh, just by my bed!” Twilight exclaimed excitedly before she trotted up the stairs of the castle, Spike followed her.

Twilight opened the stained glass doors of her bedroom and practically jumped into bed “I can’t wait for all the reading I am gonna do tomorrow, it's going to be great.” Spike tucked her into bed, and when she closed her eyes, he silently flipped the switch next to her, disabling all of the security in the castle.

“I am sure Santa is going to get all the books you want, you've been good this year Twilight” Spike then placed himself in the much smaller bed right next to twilight and closed his eyes. He did not fall asleep, he instead waited till he heard Twilight begin to snore, before springing out of bed and walking out of the room. He walked up the stairs of the castle of friendship and entered a super secret room specially enchanted by Princess Celestria to prevent Twilight from being able to see it. He took all the presents, mostly containing books, many of which were children's books due to Twilight’s odd requests this year, and then walked down the stairs. Upon reaching the first floor he placed the carefully wrapped presents under the decorated Hearth Warming Tree. Spike then took a scroll and quill wrote down a little message from Santa, and walked over to a table with the cookies and milk. The plate had the specific tag reading ‘For Santa.’

Spike smiled and took a bite out of the gem-filled cookies he baked for himself earlier in the day. He finished them all up in just two bites, before placing the message on the plate. Then spike turned around, and froze as a large towering figure stood upon him.

“Who is eating my cookies?” Out from the shadows walked a white-bearded fat albino-colored pony wearing a large red and white hat and coat.

“S-.. S-.. SANTA?!” Spike’s eyes widened, and he took a step back in fear and shock. The large pony took his own step forward, a smile growing on his face.

“Ho Ho Ho, of course, it's Santa, now I know what Twilight asked for this year, so I got her this very special present.” A large present with red wrapping suddenly poofed out of thin air, it was shaped like a textbook “Be very careful with this, it is very old.” Santa placed the present on the floor, Spike just stood there, eyes still wide in shock, he did not make any movements. Santa gestured to Spike to come closer “Don’t worry, you can take the present, I don’t bite, it's not like I am a changeling or anything.”

“Oh-.. okay Santa” Spike did not say a word as he slowly tip-toed towards the present, he felt the smooth surface of the present’s nice red wrapping, it was exactly how Twilight liked her presents wrapped “S-.. so, you are real?” Spike looked up to find that the place where Santa once stood was now empty. Spike blinked in sheer confusion. “Where did he… go?”

Thorax flew up to the hill over looking the entirety of Ponyville, he landed right next to the sitting Princess Celestia. The Princess looked down at the proud-looking Changling with a smile, “Is it done Thorax?”

Thorax nodded profusely “Yes it is donneee, Princess Celestia, he believed all of ittt” Celestia’s gaze looked over Ponyville, she closed her eyes and powered up her horn, beginning to raise the sun over Equestria. “So… why did you do that? Santa is not actually real right?”

Celestia turned to Throax and closed her eyes and smiled “If my little ponies believe he is real, then he is real.” Celestia then turned back towards the waking town, “Do you hear that Throax?”

Thorax’s furrowed his eyebrows, “Hear whattt Celestia?”

“The joy of foals waking up on Hearth Warming day, that is why I made Santa.” Celestia looked out into ponyville, content with her work, she did a good job this Hearth Warming.

“Anndd, whats that?” Thorax poined out towards a red sled being pulled by 6 reindeers dashing across the red sky of sunrise.

Princess Celestia smiled “That's Belief.”
