A Christmas with Myself

Mistletoe

After finishing my bath I went out of the bathroom and then head to the bedroom. I saw Pica laying down on the bed. "Can I ask you something again?" she looked at me.

"What is it?" I replied.

"Can you brush my mane?" she grabbed the brush and pointed it to me.

"Sure I guess." still not sure with my answer. After brushing her mane for two minutes I noticed that she was already sleeping. I let her sleep since it's still morning and we can go shopping later. After waiting for an hour she went down stairs and asked me if we're still gonna go shopping. I just simply nodded. As we left house I noticed that she is trying to avoid eye contact. "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing." she replied without looking at me straight in the eye.

"Are you sure?" I asked again to reassure and she simply nodded. As we went to the middle of Ponyville where you can find the shop stands I opened my saddle and then brought out a list of what I am going to buy. The shops stands are crowded because it's Christmas and pretty much all of the stuff they're selling are on sale. "Pica I want you to stay close to me you might get lost." she nodded and stood on my right side. After I bought everything I needed I noticed that she looks a bit sad "Is there something wrong?" I asked her.

"Well there is just something I want to buy." she is avoiding my eye.

"It's okay no need to be shy I'll buy you anything." I  gave her a smile.

"You sure?" she reassured.

"Sure, why would I lie to myself?" I don't want to make her frown especially when it's her first Christmas.

"If it's okay, I just want to buy a scarf." she looked at me in the eye.

"Only a scarf?" she nodded "Well since Rarity is off on holidays maybe we could find a shop that sells scarf?" I waited for her response.

"If it's okay to you?" she avoided my eyes again

"It's always okay for me." she smiled at me. As we looked around to see if we can find a shop that sells a scarf, her face is slowly turning red. "I told you there's no need to be shy remember that I'm like your twin." I gave her a grin.

"Well it's just a bit embarrassing asking you all this favor and it feels like I'm just giving you a lot of trouble." we stopped for a moment.

"I already told you that it's okay plus I'm the one who told Twilight to duplicate myself." her eyes widened. "All I want is a pony that I could spend my Christmas with and it looks like I got my wish granted." I saw a tear fell down her eyes. "I wouldn't have let Twilight cast the spell if I couldn't handle it but I let her because I really wanted to spend my Christmas with somepony." I was shocked when she suddenly hugged me.

"Sorry I just don't want to see you going through a trouble just for me and what I am feeling for you is different." she is still hugging me tightly.

"What do you mean is different." I tried to look at her face.

"The way you've treated this morning." my heart stopped. "I know I should have not felt what I have just experienced this morning but I can't stop myself."

"You could just forget about what happened this morning." I comforted her. "And shouldn't you be picking a scarf right now?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"You're right." she released her grip on me. After searching for a store for a couple of minutes we finally found one.

"Choose what you want to buy." I gave her a grin. She looked around to look for the one she would like.

"I want this one." she picked a scarf that has a checkered black and white color.

"So how much is this?" I asked to the owner of the store.

"That would be 10 bits." the owner reached out her hoof. I open my saddle and took out 12 bits.

"Keep the 2 bits since it's Christmas." I gave the owner 12 bits. As Pica and I was about to leave the owner called out to Pica. The owner whispered something to her and gave her something. As Pica caught up to me I asked what that was about.

"Oh that's nothing." she gave me a weird smile but I didn't mind. It's already 7:00 P.M after we've gotten inside Twilight's home she came close to me and raised her hoof with a mistletoe.

"What i-." my eyes widened as she kissed me. My mind was blank as I felt her kiss for a good 15 seconds.

"The owner of the store said to me that I should raise this mistletoe high and kiss you." she was smiling.

"And you followed her instructions because?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I love you." she kissed me again that lasted another 15 seconds.

"I though we talked about that." I tried to forget what just happened.

"Well you can't change what I feel for you." she gave me another smile. "And besides, you must learn to love yourself." I sighed and just went upstairs as I prepared for bed.
