Cheerilee awoke next to her loving coltfriend, who was fast asleep. She smiled and exited bed, walking to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Shuffling downstairs and entering her kitchen, she looked left at her assembled Celestmas tree. Smiling at all the lights, she prepared to make her coltfriend breakfast.
He descended the stairs quietly with a sly grin and snuck behind Cheerilee, who was making eggs.
Preparing to rear up and grab her, she spoke.
"You aren't sneaky." she said giggling.
She turned to face her blue pegasus coltfriend, who smiled and shrugged. "It was worth a try."
"Blue, why are you up this early?"
"Well I was gonna-" he stopped himself. "Uh, I just wanted to scare you..."
"This early?" said Cheerilee. "You're ridiculous sometimes, heheh..."
Cheerilee ate with her coltfiend, kissed him, said bye and departed for her school. Blue spoke to himself.
"Alright, now to find that gift..."
The students were now filing into class for the last school day for the week. Everypony was here except for Scootaloo who arrived a bit late, but Cheerilee didn't mind.
The class took their seats as the lesson began. Cheerilee noticed Snips and Snails' seats were empty again.
Cheerilee smiled at her class and prepared the lesson for the day.
Midway through the lesson, Cheerilee daydreamed of how she would spend her Celestmas. She could be with her coltfriend Blue Ink, then cook a large Celestmas dinner. A soak in the hot tub, a good book...
CRASH!
Cheerilee was jolted from her daydream by three figures who crashed through the ceiling via... sled?
Cheerilee saw that it was Snips, Snails, and Spike, although the latter wasn't in this class. However, Snips and Snails were. She wanted to know why there was now a giant hole in her ceiling.
"Wha-what's going on?" she asked in shock.
"Uh..." said Spike, "...knock knock?"
She had to give Snips and Snails detention for cutting class just like Scootaloo did weeks before. Honestly, she didn't know what compelled children to skip class.
She had to stay with the troublemakers after school for an hour before leaving to go home. She walked through the snow wearing her pink sweater, casually humming to herself.
"Hey Cheerilee!" she heard. "I need a hoof here!" she heard. Looking right, she saw Mrs. Cake call her. She walked to her.
"Hello Mrs. Cake!" said Cheerilee. "What do you need?"
"I need some help making cookies because I can't find Pinkie and my husband can't make cookies to save his life and you were the nearest pony and HELP." Mrs. Cake said with speed you could compare to Pinkie.
Cheerilee spoke. "Sure! I can help with cookies!"
She helped make dozens and dozens of cookies. On cue, ponies gathered inside to try the steamy delicious chocolate chip cookies. Even Pinkie Pie walked inside.
"Pinkie!" said Mrs. Cake. "Where were you? Cheerilee had to help with orders while you were gone!" Cheerilee smiled and greeted Pinkie, who did the same.
"Sorry! I got caught up helping Fluttershy set up her home. Can I spend Celestmas with her?"
"With your friend? Of course dear!" said Mrs. Cake.
"Yippee!" said Pinkie, grabbing a tray of cookies and heading towards Spike and Scootaloo. "I'll serve these now."
Mrs. Cake spoke to Cheerilee. "Thank you so much for the help!"
"Glad I could help you!" said Cheerilee smiling. "Do you mind if I take a tray of these home?"
"Go ahead! Take more if you'd like!"
Grabbing two dozen on her back, she said goodbye and departed. Walking home, she set her bags down and put the cookies on the table.
It was a little late, but her coltfriend should have been back by now.
"Blue!" she called. "Where are you?"
She went into the living room to find a gigantic box waiting for her.
"Oh wow..." she said in amazement.
Walking over to the box, she tugged a ribbon until a large Blue pegasus pony flew out of it.
"SURPRISE!" he yelled, startling Cheerilee and making her fall down.
"Heheh..." he said, "Told ya I can be sneaky." He held up a present. "Merry Celestmas, babe."
She smiled and took the present, kissing her coltfriend. "You're ridiculous, Blue. But I love you."
