Chapter 50: Christmas Day

In the middle of the night, Canterlot City was engrossed in sleeping until broad daylight, which was 9:00 by some standards. Canterlot Academy was no exception. All 500 students and its teachers and employees were preparing for the day quietly and sufficiently. The hopes of making this the best Christmas ever was looming toward the end of the mission. Twilight, Fluttershy, Smurfette, Vexy, Applejack, Vanellope, Rainbow, Pinkie, Lola, Sunset, Sticks and Rarity were all excited, the other 488 following the main group. Everything was going toward the right direction as hoped for the future development of the academy.


10 minutes before the sun rose upon the city, a quiet badger was awaking and staring at her other dormmates. Candace, Sharpay and Ryan were still sleeping. She looked the other way, 6 others tossing and turning in their dreams. She watched as the sun slowly began to lighten the sky, thus placing a smile on her face. Sticks knew of the 25th, the day which everyone celebrates. She slowly got out of bed, looking at the Christmas tree Sharpay put up during the eventful month. Tip-toed as quietly as possible, she left the presents under the tree for each one of the inhabitants of her sharing cove, even if she never wanted to share it in close proximity. She turned to the dorm door, knowing she would be the first one to wake up her best friends before Twilight or Lola had the chance. Sticks slowly opened the door, accompied by Candace's snoaring. It was a piece of cake as she left for Dorm 49, no one watching over the surveillance cameras. She made her merry way to the girls' dorm, with time to spare until the rising sun appeared. She opened the door, quiet to not wake Applejack or Smurfette. Sticks walked to Twilight's bed, thinking of a way to make her eyes open. The simple option was calling her name softly.

"Twilight". The badger waiting for her to respond.

The studious moved slightly, slowly but efficiently started to wake up, thinking Lola would have woke her up again like the first year. She awoke to find a familiar friend look down at her.

"Sticks? What is it?".

"Uh...it's Christmas, remember?". The badger tried to be as quiet at possible to avoid waking the other friends up. Twilight slowly got up and yawned.

"I thought you was Lola".

"She doesn't have a voice this raspy. I thought I might beat you all to it since my dormmates didn't want me to leave early for the past 2 years".

"How kind". The studious got out of bed and stretched her body for anything injury-inducing. She looked at Sticks.

"Let's say we softly wake the others up and tell them it's that time of year. What do you say?".

The badger nodded. She therefore wandered over to Pinkie and Vanellope's bunk, the studious walking toward Fluttershy and Rainbow. Within a minute, all was said and done to wake them up. They then started to do the same to Rarity, Applejack, Smurfette and Vexy. When they awoke, Lola was starting to open her eyes at the sight of everyone else getting ready for the day.

"We got another one". Sticks delivered.

"Merry Christmas, Lola!". Twilight spoke.

"Who woke you all up first?". The bunny rubbed her eyes for a brief period.

"Sticks woke me up, and I teamed up with her to repeat the process to the girls".

"Never before has the first to wake up be a delusional theorist. Am I in the wrong year again? This is still 2016, right?".

Lola therefore got out of bed and went straight for the makeup desk of all things to straighten her good look appearance. A few minutes later, Sunset Shimmer opened the door, finding she was the second to last to wake up.

"Wow. I must be late or something". The red and yellow-streaked haired girl remarked.

"Merry Christmas, Sunset!". Sticks greeted her.

"I'd say the same to all of you too, girls. I guess Sticks of all girls woke you all up first, am I right?".

"Correction!". Twilight answered. "We're going to Gym 2 for the annual gift-receiving from home and relatives from people who couldn't sign up".

"Like always. Things never get too old". Sunset said. "I'll wait outside for you to get changed and prepare for more greatfulness".

And so, the red and yellow-streaked haired girl exited the dorm to wait. Sticks followed her and both started a discussion soon after.

"Principal Celestia really must like these events".

"You're telling me. I received a boomerang upgrade thingamajiggy during one of them and the other I wasn't able to witness".

"But now we're free of monsters and magic spells on a temporary note. What could possibly go wrong?".

"Don't say that! I have a feeling things will possibly come when we play our cards right. You just gotta believe in yourself".

"Well...Twilight did say she wanted to wait for Principal Celestia to give her that one task that we may all have to face".

"What's that?".

"A certain trip to Idaho to visit Gloriosa and Timber".

"I'm not doing that". Sticks backed out of the task. "Like I said before, Timber wants to play Pokemon GO in the woods. I ain't having technology ruin my nature scene, unless he wants to act inconceivable to me then that would be my chance to fight back".

"Okay, but I must tell you, you don't know what you're missing".

"I won't".

Just then, Twilight and Rainbow were the ones to walk out of the door, fully dressed in their original attire. The two girls were joined by them. They talked about various subjects, all while waiting for the others to ready themselves. One by one, they came out, the last to get ready was suprisingly Rarity, who wanted to look her best at Christmas. The 12 girls walked to Gym 2, where crowds of students and assistance were gathered for the annual event. They took a vacent spot of the gym; next to Coco Bandicoot, Berri and Amy, the perfect distraction for Lola and Sticks. The two received their gifts from their friends and sisters respectively. The other girls participated in group activits once they finished with their presents. All were awaiting Principal Celestia to pump out a Christmas song to celebrate the day Jesus was born. Vinyl was awaiting her to announce it. She was placed backstage giving thumbs up to the principal when the time was right. At least everyone was enjoying the festivity around the place as the lead principal was beginning to announce the song Vinyl chose to sing-along. All ears were listening. Everyone was grateful to know the song, and remained that way when they found out what it would be. No one was able to wreck the occasion due to the absense of Vice-Principal Trunchbull every year. Principal Celestia gave the all-clear to Vinyl, whom turned the music on and rasied the volume. From there, every student knew what to do and all were sentimental a they sang along to the Christmas festivity that is the song. It wasn't long until the academy was going to have Christmas lunch served in the cafeteria.


That's the end of the final Christmas chapter. Sticks awoke first and decided to wake Twilight up for Christmas, and the girls enjoyng the festivity of the academy once more. What will happen in the new year? What will happen in the second half of the fanfic? Read on to find out. Please review.
