Zecora's Tale of Merriment
Gather around ye girls and boys, for now is the day of giggles and toys. For on Hearth's Warming Day which comes once a year, I Zecora am here to give cheer. Now at the author's request I interrupt this story, to bring such gifts of wonder and glory. It is the tradition of fair Christmas Specials, to interrupt the pacing and give some memorials. Besides all this fooey my story wasn't told, when Scootaloo clamped my mouth shut ten-fold!
Now join me mares and stallions a plenty, for I have a tale to fetch quite a penny.
It was the night before Hearth's Warming, Luna did fear. For she had nigh no gift nor encouraging tears. She couldn't believe she'd forget, curse her absence on the moon. Her moment of judgement would be coming relatively soon. Her sister most certainly wouldn't settle for the last minute gift. Why it was unheard of, even in old time mists. To dishonor one's kin with such shameful effort. She'd surely be asked to duel for the measure.
Her heart ached so dear, the mare's mane in shambles. The art of her eavesdropping allowed her to hear, a wish from her sister through her endless babbles. A piece of the moon itself is what she craved. But before she could make haste, her mentality caved. The door had flung open, Celestia in view. A smile on her face and her face quite renewed.
"Come dear sister," she welcomed oh so happy, "Let us make union but hopefully not too sappy." Biting her lip the moon goddess entered. She waited and waited minding her temper. But never did the sun bringer ridicule or spite. Instead they talked long into the night. It was dawn before Luna realized. Her package or present had not arrived.
"Dear sister, what is it? What troubles you so?" Luna hung her head.
"Why is it not the hour to exchange presents?" she asked the white one, "Our faces filled with glee from exuberant presence!"
Celestia merely laughed and patted Luna's head.
"Why you're silly as a filly still," she answered sincere, "With you by my side I've had my fill."
