My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Hearth's Warming that Almost Wasn't

A/N: (Dede42 enters the writers studio with the hope to do some writing while Pinkie Pie is using a supervac to clean up the leftovers of the party from last night.)

Dede42: How's it going, Pinkie?

Pinkie Pie: I'll be done soon. Oh, Sunrise has a question for you.

Dede42: Really?

Sunrise Blossom: (enters the writers studio) Dede42, Roleplayer48 and I are wondering why I'm not in the show originally.

Dede42: (sighs and sits down in her chair) Ok, here's the deal, Sunrise. The reason why you're not in the show originally, is because you're an original character that I brought to life, and I created your entire backstory with help of Roleplayer48 with his fantastic suggestions that are shown in the deleted scenes.

Sunrise Blossom: Oh, that makes a lot of sense now.

Dede42: Glad to be of help.

(Too many balloons get stuck in the muzzle of the supervac and they pop at the same time, scaring Dede42 and Sunrise Blossom.)

Dede42 and Sunrise Blossom: Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie: Sorry!

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE: HOLIDAY FUN!

"Ooh, now we're getting to the fun part!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily as she served up more fudge cupcakes. "Well… I should say the exciting part," she amended, sitting back down.

Sunrise Blossom chuckled and took a sip of her drink before she resumed telling them the story. "Pinkie is right that this is the exciting part," she agreed. "So, we went up the path…"

When Sunrise Blossom and Pinkie Pie reached the front door, she dropped the shield and the pink pony knocked on the door before trying the doorknob, finding that the door was unlocked once again. Exchanging a look, they pushed the door open and entered the house, finding that the curtains were pulled over the windows and the main room was completely dark.

Feeling uneasy, Sunrise Blossom was about to light up the room with her magic – when there was a creaking sound and the lights suddenly turned on, revealing their friends, Granny Smith, Apple Bloom, and Big Macintosh standing next to a table filled with holiday presents, food, and party games, and in a fenced off section of the room, Rosemary was enjoying her own dinner in her food dish.

"Happy Hearth's Warming Eve!" they cheered and gathered around the two stunned ponies, relieving them of their coats, hats, scarves, and boots. "Come on in!"

"You guys were behind this scavenger hunt weren't you?" Sunrise Blossom asked while Rarity retrieved the brooches and set them in a box that was next to a second box filled with identical brooches.

Applejack nodded. "We sure are," she answered. "After realizing that you both were going to miss out on spending Hearth's Warming with your own families, we figured that you both should still be able to celebrate with your friends, who are practically family when you think about it."

"That's fantastic," said Pinkie Pie happily. "So, let's party!"

Laughing in agreement, the ponies gathered around the table to enjoy the food, play games, and they each opened one present before doing more fun games and activities. They party through most of the night until Apple Bloom almost fell asleep in her apple cider, and they all retired for the night.

The next morning, the ponies woke to find the sun shiny brightly on the newly fallen snow, and word quickly spread through the area that the blizzard had broken during the night. After having breakfast, Apple Bloom raised the Equestria flag, and they opened the rest of their presents before heading into town so that Pinkie Pie and Sunrise Blossom could store away their gifts.

After putting everything away and making sure that Rosemary had enough food and water to last through the day, Sunrise Blossom rejoined her friends and they went to town square to take part in the celebration fun. Not long after they arrived, Mayor Mare came out of Town Hall, and she revealed that she had a new letter from Princess Celestia.

"Dear, ponies of Equestria," she read aloud to the ponies. "I hope you all are having a wonderful Hearth's Warming, and I have discovered the reason for the blizzard that was accidentally released by Cloudsdale yesterday. Due to communication failure, somepony at the factory overloaded the snow releasing machine, and this lead to the blizzard being unleashed all over the land. As I write this, teams of ponies are hard at work to remove the snow from the railroads and the roads so that travel will be possible in the next few days, and once again, I hope you all have a wonderful Hearth's Warming today. Your faithful ruler, Princess Celestia."

The moment Mayor Mare finished reading the letter, the ponies of Ponyville all cheered and they celebrated both for the good news and for Hearth's Warming itself. At one point, a snowball fight was set up, and nearly every pony, Rarity included, took part in the snow battle that left them all exhausted, cold, and very, very happy.

As the sun started to set, the exhausted ponies all returned to their homes to get some rest, having one of the best Hearth's Warming days yet. Sunrise Blossom gave Rosemary some holiday food she picked up during the celebration, wrote a letter to mail the next morning to her family, and then checked her book, finding a message from Princess Celestia that confirmed that her family were disappointed that they couldn't celebrate together, but that they would ship her presents once the transportation situation was resolved, and they all lived the presents she'd sent to them.

Smiling, Sunrise Blossom wrote a thank you note to the Princess, made a list of things to do the next day, which would include getting a display case to put her brand new brooches, all shaped like her friends' cutie marks and her own cutie mark, and then she went to bed, feeling very happy despite the blizzard.

"…and that's the end of the story," Sunrise Blossom said, and flushed when Spike clapped loudly. "Thanks, Spike."

"That was a wonderful story, Sunny," said Twilight Sparkle, hugging her sister. "And I'm glad that things worked out despite the blizzard incident. So, who made those brooches anyway?"

"I made them," Rarity said proudly, and surprised her friends by pulling out a box she'd hidden under the staircase, and opened the lid to reveal seven sets of cutie mark-shaped brooches for her friends. "And I made these for all of you," she added while giving Spike a box full of colorful bowties. "Happy Hearth's Warming Eve!"

"Happy Hearth's Warming Eve!" the ponies replied and they all laughed, clinking their cups together, and they resumed celebrating before heading home for the night, looking forward to celebrating Hearth's Warming the next morning.

A/N: And that's a wrap for this story. R&R everyone!
