You were almost done with Winter Break, and not to your surprise, the world didn't end. You see that all of your friends were back as well. They were all happy to see you return in time for Christmas, in matter of fact you had to Pinkie Promise that you would be with them for Christmas.

"Welcome back." You hear Twilight say, you nod as a sign that you heard her.

Rainbow came up to you and hugged you, as well as Pinkie. You were blushing big time, and Twilight could see it because she was standing right in front of you. You don't even know why Pinkie and Dash hugged you, but it felt nice, not to be a pervert, but you don't really get hugs often.

"Whoa whoa, what's with the warm welcoming committee?" You asked, Pinkie giggled, and Rainbow kept her cool and said nothing. You could clearly see her blush, and you smirked.

"Oh, it's nothing." You can hear the sarcasm in Pinkie's voice, Dash was laughing her ass off. You had everything but one thing. Rainbow Dash's Christmas Present, and you had no idea what to get her.

"Now, if I want to get Dash something, it has to be something that fits her well." You thought to yourself. You could ask Pinkie for some assistance, and that's exactly what you did.

"Hey Rainbow, is Pinkie here?" She called for Pinkie, in which she popped up out of nowhere, like she always does.

"Hey what's up?"

"I need your help getting Rainbow something for Christmas. Care to give me any ideas?" Pinkie placed a finger on her chin, you waited anxiously for her response.

"Well, there is that Autographed T-Shirt she always wanted. She could never get one though."

"What kind of T-Shirt?" You ask.

"One from the Wonderbolts! It's the most athletic team of daredevils ever! Rainbow is a huge fan. Coach Spitfire actually owns the team, but Dashie could never get an Autograph from her." Pinkie explained, you always wondered why Coach Spitfire and Coach Soarin' looked so familiar. You had to get them to somehow autograph this T-Shirt Pinkie gave you, she stole it from Rainbow to begin with. You bet she's gonna freak when she finds out it's missing.

You head down into the Athletics hallway, and go into Coach Soarin's office, in which it was inside a little room built inside of the boys' locker room. You were not going to like it if you had to go into the girls' locker room. You were not a pervert, and let everyone keep their own privacy, no matter who it was, you would even respect Blueblood's privacy, no matter how much he was the shit you didn't like. You knock on the door, and the coach noticed you and let you in.

"Now, what is it that you need son?" Soarin' patted you on the back.

"I was wondering if you could sign this for me?" You give him the T-Shirt. Surprisingly he signs it and chuckles.

"If you want Spitfire's, you're gonna have to go into the girls' locker room. If Rainbow asks why I never signed anything for her, she was too fangirlish. You on the other hand, I'm cool with. We're not one of those type of people where fame gets to your head." Soarin' explained, you weren't much of a fan of the Wonderbolts anyways. You were pretty good at hiding your emotions though, especially when near celebrities.

You were not amused. You had to go into the girls' locker room, the forbidden place for boys to go. There was perfume smelling up whatever fresh air you had left. You started coughing because there was so much of it, and your eyes watered since it was so strong.

"What are you doing here in the girls' locker room?" You give her the pass Soarin' wrote for you, she grabs it from you and reads it slowly. She looked up to you and smiled, you were just confused, you were confused by a lot of things.

"Alright, here you go. But I expect you to do a favor for me when I need one." She had a military style cap on and aviators, you had to admit it was pretty badass.

"In speaking of favors, I really need to be going now. I'll see you around Coach." You tuck the shirt into your rucksack and got out as quickly as you could. You didn't want to get accused of snooping in the girls' locker room, you didn't even look into the lockers as a matter of fact. The perfume in the air was like tear gas, you were on the verge of suffocating to death, but you were almost out of there. Your pocket vibrated, and you heard the Old Spice jingle, you take out your phone and see who texted you.

Hey, come down to the bar later. We're going to hand out Xmas presents!
Okay, I have everything.
This is Dash, I'm on Pinkie's phone. I hope you got something good, because I'm in a bad mood.

You guessed that she was in a bad mood because you borrowed her Wonderbolts shirt to get it autographed. You then get back to your dorm to do some fast wrapping, but not sloppy either. You used separate wrapping paper that fit the girls' personality. You had one for Spike as well, though you don't really remember how you met him. If you remember correctly you had met Spike in your Psychology class, Twilight brought him along to help out. Spike always said something about a gemstone collection, so you got him an Emerald the size of a baseball, gemstones were very easy to come by in this area, there's a public mine somewhere near here off campus.

It was about 8 PM, and you had everything just about done, you weren't going to drink tonight, since you wanted to go home tonight and sleep. The girls were already sitting at a booth, along with Spike on the end next to Twilight. You had a book bag with you filled with your stuff to give them. You placed the bag on the table and opened it, you placed their present in front of them with increasing amounts of carefulness. It was Christmas Eve, if you didn't know already, you had completely forgot too as a matter of fact.

Rarity opened hers first, which came from you. This was all based on what you already know about the girls, and Rarity was the fancy one. You got her a very expensive bottle of wine, imported from Prance. She gasped in fright, which made you worry for a little bit, until came her response.

"It's beautiful... *sniff*" She started to tear up, and you saw Pinkie rip hers open, in which she almost fell to the ground laughing. You had gotten Pinkie some special type of ammunition for her party cannon, each one with a different theme. There was a Halloween shot, a Christmas shot, even a shot for a Bar Mitzvah party was in there. Though you never saw Pinkie's Party Cannon, apparently you had a concept of a rough design of what it looked like in your head.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I've always been needing more ammo!" She grabs you into a tight hug, the others were giggling, and you had an extreme blush on your face.

Next up was Applejack, you had given her a cowboy hat, she was always talking about getting one eventually, so you went out and got her one to save her the trouble. She didn't say anything, she was practically speechless, you couldn't make out any type of murmur that came out of her mouth. Twilight was the same, she tried to stutter out something, but she was too busy reading, Daring Do and the Crystal Kingdom: Limited Edition. Believe it or not those things were hard to come by, you had to get a personal copy from Headmistress Celestia, she had connections with some manufacturers out there, and you were lucky for knowing her on a personal level. Fluttershy you could barely make out, and hiding her present from her was kind of hard to do, since it was a giant stuffed dog the size of half of a twin mattress.

"Oh, thank you! It's very nice." You managed to make out from Fluttershy, you smile back to her, and gave out a heavy stress relieving sigh. Your part was done, and you had already received your presents from the girls. (Presents may vary)

Rainbow gave a dirty look at you, because you saved her for last, and she was very impatient from what you could tell. You roll your eyes and sigh, and her response was to slap you across the face, but luckily you stretched back just in time to dodge her attempt to slap you. You bring out your rucksack and fish around in it, you really needed to clean the thing out one day, but luckily you found Rainbow's Wonderbolts T-Shirt neatly folded at the bottom. You had it folded into a square with a bow wrap around it, she gasped as she saw the autographs written in silver Sharpie on them. You gave it to her and she snuggled it with her face, it was still warm from when you washed it earlier. Your rucksack was a really good insulator to begin with, and was almost like a pizza delivery bag.

"B-But how?!?!" You had a sly smirk plastered to your face, and hit you, hard in the gut. Her slug managed to knock the wind out of you, but it didn't hurt.

There was some yelling coming from the bar, and you found where it was coming from. There was a female bartender being yelled at and being sexually touched by another man, you shook your head in frustration and got up. Rainbow also followed close behind.

"Look, Berry. I just want another drink, you don't have to get sassy with me." He said with a straight face. You could see a deep red flush on his face, this man was clearly drunk out of his mind.

"You've already passed the bar limit. Go home Hoops, you're drunk." You heard her trying to uphold the bar rules, in which you can tell she isn't the type to loosen up a few strings for people. Hoops then tried to touch Berry in a sexual manner, in which she dusted his hand off like it was trash.

"She said, go home drunkie." You defend her. She looked at you like you were crazy. You guessed that you were getting yourself into a lot of trouble. He looked familiar to you, you recognize him from the school Basketball team.

"What're you gon' do 'bout it?" His words were slurred heavily. He tried to right hook you, and you dodge it with ease. You didn't know what was up with people trying to assault you today, you guess that you were like a personal punching bag for people to abuse. You dodge another one of his attempts to land a hit on you, he got up off of his stool and stumbled his way to you. You take this moment to your advantage and poke him in the forehead, and he went to the ground with a hard *SLAM*. You kind of laugh at how drunk Hoops was, it was almost sad to look at him.

"Thank you, for that. I'll call his friends to get him home. By the way, I'm the bartender, Berry Punch." She gives you her hand to shake.

"No problem ma'am. I'm the new student at the nearby school, it's a pleasure." You put out your hand and you both shake hands.

"Yeah, I've been hearing things about you. I heard you outdid Blueblood." You nod, confirming that you did. Like you said you weren't drinking, so you got back to the booth, but only Rainbow and Pinkie were there.

"Hey, we're going home. We'll see ya later." Rainbow yawned, you nod and follow them through the door. You look back at Berry and see her lip something to you.

"Call me." You could read lips like a mind reader. It was pretty easy to pick up once you get used to it playing charades all the time when you were younger. You nod and wave back to her, motioning goodbye. This definitely gave you a reason to go to the bar again.

You were leaving again tomorrow, because it was Christmas Day, and you were going to have Christmas Dinner with your folks at home. Today, you felt like a new man, sticking up for what is right, and the positives of planning ahead. With the help of Twilight of course, you can't really plan without a tutor to teach you about organization. It worked wonders, even though you were a rather scatterbrained person, doing stuff out of order and losing things and all.

Author's Note

Sorry about the long wait. Between writing, I've been playing Far Cry and Mid-terms have been a pain in the ass for me. Besides, I have other stories to attend to as well. I hope I can write a good amount over Winter Break.
