Meanwhile, Applejack and Fluttershy went to Rainbow Falls to see what they can find for Spike and Rainbow Dash.
"I come to the Rainbow Falls Hearth's Warming Craft Fair every year." Fluttershy said. "They have perfect presents for anypony."
"Hopefully, anydragon, too." Applejack said. "Wanna split up? Meet back here in an hour?"
"Sure." Fluttershy said.
They part ways, and Fluttershy approached a Daring Do booth. She's about to look at a book, when suddenly a slender Unicorn and a green sweater and hat appeared and strangely looks familiar.
"Oh, no!" He said. "There's only a few!"
And then he rushed off, and a few ponies followed behind him.
And close by, another familiar looking Unicorn is at a booth.
"Fillies and gentlecoats, we want you all to have the best holiday your bits can buys!" Said the Unicorn. "But there are only a limited number left."
"Limited number of what?" Fluttershy asked.
"Why, you don't know about Holly the Hearth Warmer?" Said the first Unicorn.
The crowd turns and gasped.
"You seem like somepony looking for a gift for a very special friend." Said the 2nd Unicorn.
"I am!" Fluttershy went up to him.
"A friend who wouldn't want to miss out on the must-have gift everypony is talking about?" He continued.
"She certainly wouldn't wanna miss out on that." Fluttershy added.
"A truly awesome friend who deserves something 20% cooler than any other gift out there?"
"That sounds just like her!" Fluttershy smiled.
"Well, look no further!" He said and then zips off and came back. "This is it!"
"Ooh! Ooh! How much does it cost?!" Fluttershy asked.
"How much do you have?" He smirked under his mustache.
Meanwhile, in Yakyakistan, Yaks were getting ready for Snilldar Fest. And getting the smashing pile ready for tomorrow.
And then Prince Rutherford appeared.
"Yojan!" Rutherford snapped. "Is that good angle for optimal smashing?!"
Yojan whimpers and heads off.
Rutherford snorted, and then Pinkie appeared over his head and covers his eyes.
"Guess who!" Pinkie said.
""Yojan?" Rutherford guessed.
"No, silly!" Pinkie said.
"Ingville?" Rutherford guessed. "Tormand? No, no, wait! Grimhorn!"
"Nope-tiy, nope, nein, and nyet!" Pinkie said and then hops off. "It's me!"
"Aww, Prince Rutherford knew it Pink Pony all along!" Rutherford teased. "Yaks best at guessing." And placed his crown.
"Yaks best at everything!" Pinkie said. "That's why I'm here. Sorry to interrupt Snilldar Fest, but I need help. Can you tell me where to find... BEST GIFT EVER!" She finished in a Yak voice which it echoed and some Crows flew off.
Rutherford exclaimed in panic. "Not here! Follow this way!"
They then zipped off, and into a hut. And Rutherford closed the curtains and turns to Pinkie.
"Prince Rutherford about to tell honorary Yak friend something very top secret." Rutherford said.
Pinkie brought out a stool, and sat on it. "Honorary Yak listening."
"Yaks best at all things except one." Rutherford said and glanced to be sure no ones around. "Yaks not best at giving gifts."
Pinkie gasped in shocked. "What?!"
Rutherford quickly clamps Pinkie's mouth close.
"I know! It hard to believe!" Rutherford said thinking the same.
"How am I gonna figure out how to give Twilight the best Hearth's Warming gift ever?!" Pinkie said losing some hope.
"Oh, no worry, honorary Yak." Rutherford assured with an idea. "Prince Rutherford keep secret map in perfectly organized files."
He then went somewhere in the hut, and toss a few things. And then appeared with a map.
"Best gift givers up northern pass, where sky shimmers and glows." Rutherford explained. "There, secret gift giver grove." The map shows lights shiny over the mountains further north from the village. "Only Yak princes and pink honorary Yak know."
Pinkie looks at the map, and then zips up her lips. "My lips are sealed."
She then rolls up the map.
And then rushed outside.
"TIME FOR MY TOP-SECRET QUEST TO THE GIFT GIVERS!" Pinkie yelled.
And then she heads out to find them.
Back in Ponyville, ponies were lined up in the post office waiting to get their chance to deliver their presents to other ponies.
Among them was Rarity, and then finally it was her turn.
And she went up to the counter, and rings the bell.
And then Derpy appeared. "Oh, hi, Rarity. How can I help you?"
"I excepted a package today, and I was wondering where that might be." Rarity explained.
"Oh, okay." Derpy picks up a list. "Uh, let's check. Name?"
"Uh, Rarity?" Rarity said.
Derpy looks through the list. "Oh! Here we go! Your package was delivered to Sweet Apple Acres."
"What?!" Rarity exclaimed. "It was supposed to be delivered to Rarity's Boutique!"
Derpy reads through the list. "Um... okay... but... now, the package was for Applejack, and she is at Sweet Apple Acres."
Rarity lowly growls keeping her anger controlled. "Yes, it's for Applejack, but I will be delivering it."
"Uh... that's my job." Derpy frowned confused.
Rarity smack herself. "It's a gift for Applejack from me."
Derpy gasped realizing that. "What if shes opens it?!" She then looks through the list in case she missed something. "It shouldn't go to Sweet Apple Acres!" And then she noticed something. "Oh! Wait!" She brought a magnifying glass to be sure. "It went to Sweet Acorn Orchard instead!" She then laughs from her mistake. "Oh, well, that's a relief."
"Why is that a relief?!" Rarity asked.
"Because Applejack's not in Sweet Acorn Orchard." Derpy said. "Do you want me to get the package to and deliver it to her?"
"NO!" Rarity snapped causing 2 ponies to perk up at her and then clears her throat. "Uh, may I have the address for Sweet Acorn Orchard? I think I'll just collect the package myself."
"Are you sure?" Derpy asked. "'Cause I would be happy to-"
"You have helped so much already." Rarity assured and took off with the address.
She then heads as a Unicorn approaches Derpy with a present to be delivered.
"Break time!" Derpy announced.
She then leaves as the Unicorn just dropped the present in annoyance.
Meanwhile, Spike was strolling across town to find a present for Rarity.
"Shopping for Rarity." Spike said. "No problem. She likes lots of stuff. I just need something special."
"A brand-new top-of-the-line sewing equipment?" A pony in an Elf costume offered.
"A priceless rhinestone necklace?" An offered as well.
"A sculpture of Rarity made from smaller sculptures of Rarity?" Top Notch offered.
"Ooh... Wow!" Spike caught in a jewelry world. "Awesome! Shopping for Rarity. Slight problem." He begins to panic. "She likes lots of stuff. BUT NOTHING IS SPECIAL ENOUGH!" He then slumps to the ground.
Meanwhile, Rainbow and Discord were still looking around to find something for Fluttershy. And Rainbow looks through a window, and smiles.
"Oh, goodness, no." Discord shook his head.
"Ugh!" Rainbow moves over to a door.
"Even worse!" Discord said.
Rainbow looks and saw Discord's face as a picture on the sign.
"Oh, come on!" Rainbow complained. "Fluttershy would love a spa day!"
"Really? Love the stress of deciding which treatment to get?" Discord asked. "Love worrying that she's not relaxing enough? Or relaxing too much? And what about all those sweet animals she's left alone?! So much to worry about, and all because of you."
"She's Fluttershy!" Rainbow reminded. "Everything makes her worry!"
"Now you should like somepony who knows her!" Discord said.
"Well, if you're an expert on Fluttershy, what did you get her?" Rainbow asked.
"Oh, and you honestly expect me to tell you what I got Fluttershy so that you can one-up me?" Discord questioned. "Well, I have half a mind to stop you entirely."
"Good!" Rainbow having enough of him. "Please stop helping me! I'm begging you!"
She then walks away from him.
"Well, I suppose I could tell you what my backup present present was." Discord said.
"Great. Still helping." Rainbow said sarcastically.
"It would've made a lovely addition to her animal sanctuary." Discord said. "But you have to be the fastest pony in Equestria to even have a chance of-"
Rainbow's interested sparked and flew back to Discord.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa." Rainbow interested. "You're talking to the fastest pony in Equestria! If there's some fast animal out there Fluttershy would love,I'm the one who can get it."
"OH, I just don't know." Discord unsure.
"I'm calling it! Dibs!" Rainbow raising her hoof.
"If you insist." Discord said.
And then he snaps his fingers, and disappeared. And then his arm reaches and pulls Rainbow with him.
Meanwhile, Twilight was in her library still working on a present for Pinkie. And is at a drawing board.
"The ideal gift for Pinkie Pie needs to be A - unique, B - specific to her personality, and C - food based." She draws a circular diagram. "What is a unique food? Cupcakes? Nah. Cookies? Nope. Pies? Pastries? Pudding?" She then gasped as it rang a bell. "Wait! PUUUUUUUUUUUUDDING!" She then flew up and grabs a book. "After defeating the Windigos, the Earth Pony, Pegasi, and Unicorn nations prepared the first Hearth's Warming meal together. Chancellor Puddinghead made a pudding so delicious, legends were written about it!" This is it!" Twilight finding the right gift. "Unique, totally Pinkie, the most incredible dessert ever!"
She then drew a check on the board, and flips a page, but then she panics as she went through the book trying to find the recipe of Puddinghead's pudding.
She even shook the book if a note was in it.
"Where's the recipe?!" Twilight panicked.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Tunip and the Vegimals were still getting the food ready and were singing.
And Tunip ready's a 2nd cake.
Bree the halla ball of holly
fa, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Tunip sets the cake in a spare over and sets the timer. And Codish jumps on top of a frosting bag, and frosting squirts out onto a tray of cupcakes that Tominniow is holding.
Bree the breeba
to be jolly
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
And Tunip heads over to another section of the kitchen to check on the food that's almost ready.
Back in Rainbow Falls, Applejack now with a gift for Spike found Fluttershy at a booth.
"I've narrowed down my choices for Spike to fire-dancing sticks, or a Power Ponies comic." Applejack said. "Unenchanted, I think."
Since remembering the comic she and the others got stuck in one time. And then Fluttershy showed her gift for Rainbow, but the sight of it made Applejack jumped.
"Aah! What is that?!" Applejack creeped out.
The gift Fluttershy got looked more like parts of an old bag and stuffed into a doll.
"Holly the Hearth's Warmer doll." Fluttershy answered. "Isn't she sweet?"
She then pulls on the pullstring on her back. "I love being an expensive toy!"
"Egh." Applejack got up still recovering from the jump. "Why'd you think that was a good gift for Rainbow Dash?"
"It's the must-have gift of the season." Fluttershy said. "And in short supply."
And then some ponies came by with Holly dolls of their own.
"Short supply", huh?" Applejack sensing something familiar. "How much did that set you back?"
"All my bits." Fluttershy answered and then realized something. "All my bits? Can I burrow some for the train ride home?"
Applejack spared a few bits and gave them to her.
"Somethin' about this here doll seems fishy." Applejack suspiciously said about the doll. "And I ain't just talkin' about the smell of that plastic. Where'd you get it?"
Fluttershy point to the booth where she got it, and they headed over to the booth. And there was a crowd, and they went behind the tent, and saw the same Unicorn that got the crowd's attention earlier with a cart of supplies. Applejack and Fluttershy peeling the curtains to peek inside, and saw Flim and Flam seeing their disguises.
"Flim and Flam!" Applejack glared. "What are those Hearth's Warmin' hooligans up to now?!"
Author's Note:
Wow, Flim and Flam up to their tricks again.
I mean honestly, out of all the times of year, this is the most terrible time to fool other ponies.
I think they think it's easy fool ponies at that time of year for bits.
And admittedly, the Deck the Halls Vegimal song, it's the best I get make out of it.
