Something was stirring.

Deep, deep inside of little Applejack number 2, something was stirring. Not a need, not a want, but something in her mind.

Something in the basic corners of her mind was telling her to get up. Something outside of her control was moving her before she even knew she was walking. Something inside of her was ordering her, demanding her, controlling her without any regard for what she wished or how she wished to do it.

Something was moving the little changeling known as Applejack Two.

Something wonderful.

Something magical.

Something... that made her unable to stop herself as she leapt onto the much too crowded bed, and began bouncing amidst the several bodies all lined in there.

Something that she couldn't hold in.

Something she didn't want to.

Something, on this day that had never meant anything to her ever before, something she did not understand and perhaps was never meant to, that made her scream.

>IT'S HEARTH'S WAAARRMMMMMMIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!

"Two? It's four in the morning."

>Oh, sorry!

So she sat.

And she would wait.

....No she wouldn't.

>IT'S HEARTH'S WAAAARRRMMIIIINNNNNN!

"Alright, alright, I'm up."

And up he did go.

She didn't know why it was special, why it was vital that he, her Shiny, got up right then, but he had to, it was important.

It was... right.

All of this was... right.

Because, as she couldn't help but scream one last time...

>IT'S! HEARTHS! WARMIIIIIIN!"

And that, for the very first time in her life...

Was special.

"Alright, alright, calm yer' dang horses already! Iffin' ya' break those stairs Ah'm gonna break you!"

>Awww! Ya've only been home a day and yer' naggin' me! Yer' sposed ta' not nag me no more!

"Well, Ah'm gonna nag ya'! Like Ah'm S'posed ta'! Ain't that right Big Mac?"

'Nnnnnope.'

"TRAITOR!"

>PRESENTS! PRESENTS PRESENTS PRESENTS! PRESEN-HRK

With a THUMP, she smacked to the floor, stopped by the teeth around her tail.

>OW!

"Ah' said hold up! We gotta wait fer' granny ta' get up ya' little git!"

'...What?'

"Ah' said-"

'Granny ain't in her room.'

"...But she ain't here..."

>And she ain't in the bathroom!

"...So... where...."

~~~~~~

Outside, face down in the snow, a shaky head of white hair tilted up. Her eyes were no longer the kind, matronly type that loved to look upon her grandchildren in delight, no. Instead, she looked upon the prints in the snow all around her...

And she snarled.

[Ah' don't know what ran me over... But ah'm gonna TAN IT'S HIDE AND WEAR IT AS A NEW COAT!]

The hunt was on.

Presents would have to wait

"Because, and I know it's unintentional please don't take it the wrong way, but you're sounding like a supervillain every time! I know! I know it's not your fault... but still!"

>AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAHH!

"...The worst part is, this is still by far the best benefits package I've ever gotten, and I'd still work for you even if you were evil..."

'...have you noticed how quiet it is without anyone around?... No customers today, everyone's with their family... yep... yeeep... but I don't miss it... nope... not a bit... this really su-'

Boom!

It startled him, and he cold not focus on the confetti, nor the fireworks, nor the balloons.

Instead, he just decided to focus in on the rolling pony of pink and parties giving him the worlds biggest smile.

And then she started to sing.

>HEY! ~Happy Hearth Warming, don't be feeling blue! Because Pinkie's here to spread some cheer just for little you!~ Happy HearHt Warming, may all your dreams come true, because today's a day Pinkie has to say she wants you to be happy TOOOOOOO!... Happy Hearth Warming!

And, indeed, he felt he was a little bit more-

BOOM!

'...'

"Happy Hearth Warming, don't be-"

>WHOA WHOA WHOA!

"..."

>...

"..crap."

>Damn it, Fourteen! What the fuck, man!?

"Don't you what the fuck me, what the fuck you, Forty Four!? I'm supposed to hit the pastry places!"

>I'm hitting them on the NORTH side!

"No, YOU hit the south!"

>How did you get us mixed up!? A four looks nothing like a one!

"So then why did you fuck up!?"

>YOU!

"YOU!"

>YOU!

>"YOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOU-"

'Uh...'

>...Crap! Way to blow this!

"You blew this for me!"

>If I get my pay docked, I will take it out on your ass, Fourteen!

"You couldn't-"

'Uh...'

>...
"..."

'...Can I just get the song? Its really catchy.'

>...Both at the same time? That's against protocol.

"Meh, not the first time I've handled it with another guy. Hit it!"

~~~One dance number later~~~~

>"Happy Hearth Warming, Doughnut Jooooooeeeee~!"

'...I'm good.'

"PHEW! Was worried I was going to have to go the extra mile for this one."

>You willing to take the south now?

"Fiiine, I'll be on the bottom, again."

>Good... Happy Hearth Warming!

Sure, it wasn't EXACTLY the same as a Pinkie message...

But it was close enough.

'Happy Hearth Warming...'

'Oh, you know, we just know these things!'

[All parents know these things!]

"A giant jumbo jubbles pack!? I never told anyone I wanted this!"

'Mothers intuition.'

[She's the best.]

"EEE! A SPARKMAKER!"

[Never doubt daddy's abilities.]

"OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'm gonna go use it outside!"

>Sweetie wait-

'No no, it's fine, let her have her fun!'

"EEEEEEEEeeee..."

SLAM!

>...So are either of you going to pay me back for buying all of that?

'We did already darling, don't you remember?'

>...That... that doesn't work when I stopped being four.

[No, she means 'we paid you back by bringing you into this world.]

'I'd like to think that's payment enough.'

>...Uh huh...

'...What is a spark maker anyway?'

>It lets you make your own fireworks.

[...f-fake one?]

>No.

"OH CRAP OH CRAP!"

'MY TULIPS!'

[This is all your fault.]

~~~~~~

^IT'S HEARTH'S WAARRRRMMMIIINNNNNN!^

'No, it's way too freaking early for this crap!'

+NO SWEARING IN FRONT OF MY GRANDBABY!+

'...just to check, which part was the swearing?'

`So, just to confirm I'm not crazy, there IS a giant smoke monster next to me, right?`

(Hello again. Yes, I am still not a hallucination, please stop referring to me as such.)

~Soooo... nobody back home is actually going to think I was kidnapped, right? She literally picked me up and dragged me here.~

>She said it wouldn't be right if Auntielestia wasn't here.

~Heartwarming, but not the issue.~

-Princess Celestia, I'm going to be honest. If, at some point, someone sees a picture of a tiny little changeling with a face of childlike joy carrying a bleary eyed and confused princess over her head while screaming IT'S HEARTHS WARMINNNNN at thew top of her lungs, and thinks to themselves 'yes, this is clearly a kidnapping', then we we should probably give up. There is nothing worth saving.-

~Harse... but weirdly accurate.~

{...Either that or they'll just think Fifty Six has dropped all pretenses and grabbed the wrong one.}

~Wow, you are just bound and determined to make that kid creepy...~

[Nah, he's cool.]

=AHHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHH! THIS IS AMAAAZZZIIINNNNG!... This is the first Hearth's Warming I'm not trying to take over the world! Neat! Normally I'm trying to blow it up!=

`The... world?`

=Yes!=

`Then what will you live on?`

=A world of manes.=

`...`

=That's a real place.=

-It's true, it is... er, real for 'her world', anyway.-

`...Right... honey? Can we switch? I feel being between the supervillian and actual villain is uh... offsetting me.`

+NEVER! FRONT ROW SEAT! NOW! SIT!+

`Yes dear.`

"Two! Don't chew on the paper! You can open them up now!"

^AH'M TRYIN' TA' GUESS!^

>You don't need to-ugh.

^...It feels like a box!^
>The present is IN the box! It's inside of it!

^Ohhhh... gonna have ta' really rattle it ta' figure out that one!^

"That's not breakable, is it?"

[Eighteen layers of wrapping says no.]

^IT'S A PILLOW!^

[Point proven.]

"Why so many... ooooohhhhh."

{Heh.}

'^ONTA' THE NEXT ONE!^

>But you didn't open-ugh...

+She'll get there, Shiny, just give her time.+

'I don't know what you're complaining about, this is great.'

~It's rather... interesting, I'll give you that. Certainly different from most hurricane of ripping I'm used to with children.~

`Wow it is crowded in here.`

(I apologize, I take up a lot of room.)

`Somehow, you, Mr Smoke monster, are not taking up as much room as the four royals, the supervillain with living hair, and the two changelings not counting my granddaughter...`

(...)

`...This is a very weird Hearth Warming for me...`

>Two, will you just open it!?

'Yeah, open mine and Celestia's first!'

"Wait, I thought you were getting one each?"

~We opted out of this plan in favor of giving Shiny a heart attack.~

>...Wait, wha-

*RIIIIIPPPP!*

^OH! MAH! GOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH! THANKS NOT-MOM! THANKS AUNTIELESTIA!^

>...You did not seriously just-

^AH' GOT MAH OWN HOVERBIIIIKKKKEEEE!^

>...

"Twilight, you traitor."

-In my defense I had no idea they were giving it to her.-

^AH'M GONNA FLY IT EVERYWHERE!^

>...Noooooo...

'We checked, it's legal!'

~Mostly because a thousand year old civilization has no laws about hoverbikes, shockingly, but that's besides the poin-OW!~

+IF SHE HURTS HERSELF YOU WILL BUUUURRNN!+

`...Whelp, my wife just slapped Princess Celestia. I am officially out of my mind, and this is a coma of some kind.`

~Why me and not her?~

+She doesn't know any better, look at her!+

'HEY!'

-Mom, please don't insult her like that.-

+I WILL PUT YOU IN THE CORNER!+

-...-

+Smart mare.+

[Uh, not to take away from a Chrysalis verbal beatdown and what is sure to be lifelong memories, but she has started chewing off corners in a frenzy, and you need to pull back before-]

{OW! OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOHDEARHIVEMINDTHISHURTSOMUCHHERTEETH!}

[Brought that on yourself, Forty Two.]

>Two, calm down!

-Were we ever this bad?-

>...I think I might've been worse.

`Oh, you were, but not at first. Son, if you think this is bad, wait till you have more than one of them opening presents.`

>...
"..."
'...'

{...}
~...~
-...Huh...-

>...We'll, uh... pretend he didn't say that.

'C'mon, Shiny! Can't blame your dad for wanting you to get some more!'

"CHRYSALIS! EW!"

`...Is this eggnog alcoholic? I feel like it should be.`

(I, the giant smoke monster next to you who is not a hallucination, agree.)

=AHHHHAHAHAHHAH! AND I! THE MAAAAAAAAREVELOUS MANE-IAC OF MISCHIEF ALSO AGREE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WORD MEANS!=

`...`

>Two! No revving the hoverbike in the house!

"You see what you've done?"

'HAH!'

~I'm surprisingly not regretful.~

[...More next time...]

{And she is gone, she has checked out, cashed in and she is off in her own little world. Goodnight everybody.}

-Two! Listen, you need to prime the engine like this...-

>TWILI!

-I'm just showing her so she can be safe!-

'And we can race!'

>SWEET MERCY NO!

"Shiny! Shiny calm down, your heart! It will literally explode!"

+BAD BUG!+

'OW!... HAH! I like you!'

=AHHHAHAHAHAH! BATTLLLEEEE!=

>"'NO!"'

=Awwww.=

(...So, uh... are you enjoying your time with your family?)

`...What the fudge happened to my life...`

(I ask that very often...)

"At least don't drive it near the presents, a lot of those are expensive!"

(...It's not so bad, is it?)

`...Meh, it's what you expect...`

-Okay, I wish you guys had told me so I at least I could take off the forward cannons.-

>FORWARD CANNONS!?

`...It's family.`

'HAH!'

"Eeyyup."

'She probably just ran off ta' be crazy!'

>Be that as it may, we gotta find her anyway. So shut up and just suck it up.

'Abuse! Verbal and mental abuse! Ah'm gonna call the guard like Snails keeps sayin' he's gonna!'

>Pfft, ain't no guards in ponyville, and they're so inept Ah' could probably outsmart 'em with a string and a carrot.

"...Uh..."

>...huh... now that Ah' said that...

'...'

>...GRANNY!? Granny!? Git yer' hide over here, Applebloom wants presents!

'AH' WANT PRESENTS!'

"...Hey, AJ?"

>GAH!

"..."

>Sorry, not used ta' you speakin', what'cha want

"Did ya' leave a note or somethin' back at the house?"

>Why would Ah' do that?

"In case someone comes ta' the house and sees an empty place, unopened presents, and a buncha tracks leadin' ta' the forest."

>Ain't nobody gonna come ta'day.

"....Okay."

[Hey, Applejack? I'm just stopping by before I go over to the Empire to open presents with Two, I just really wanted to get this out of the way now before... AJ?... Applejack? Big Mac? Applebloom?... Hellooooooooo........... okay, no need to panic, just because this place is totally empty doesn't mean-OH FUCK! The presents aren't opened!?... Oh, FUCK! No way would they leave those unopened!

"...No, Niney, none of us tied up a royal and laid them in the bed for you."

>EMPTY! THIS DAY IS EMPTY AS THINE SOUL!

'Oh, Twenty Nine, you never cease to make me smile. I hope your day off will let you stay a while.'

[WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THIS!? You only got me the SIX proof ultra-sparking fireworks!? SIX!? It goes up to EIGHT!]

>I give thee that, and continued residence in my abode, that should be enough.

[You got Marey a giant rare-oak desk!]

"Mmmm... it's so... sturdy... and full of secret compartments..."

[And I don't even want to know what you got Zecora!]

'Well then, let us see! What, oh what, did you get... me...'

>...
"..."
[...Is... is that bad?]

>I uh... I don't know, I thought it was good.

'...'

>I... er, I thought since... you know, since you couldn't spend thine holidays over where thou had been... is this offensive? I apologize if it's offensive.

"Uh, am I the only one who doesn't know what that is?"

[TRIXIE KNOWS!... But she wishes YOU to say it first.]

>It... it's a-

'It is a totem, one from my... my old home. It is a special thing I used to have, before over to this place I did roam."

>Ah, yes, it's... I see why you didn't bring it, it is rather large, so...

'How... how did you get it sent to this place? Importing rates for something like this made my heart race. I couldn't afford it, even if I wished to. What... what did you do?'

>Oh... well... I know a guy, who... is it not good?

She looked to him. Looked to him with a blank, empty face.

'...It's great.'

And then hugged him for all he was worth.
"Awwwww!"

[...Trixie does not feel mushy over this... she doesn't... mmrm...]

'Thank you, I am glad you became my friend. It is a friendship... I never want to end.'

>...Y-you too...

"PFFTAHAHAHAH!"

>SILENCE! Thou is ruining the moment!

[Ship sailed on that one, 'smooth'.]

>SILENCE!

'Oh, Twenty Nine... it is fine.'

He went a brilliant, shining color as she kissed him on the cheek, and his horn sputtered power.

'I understand.'

>...SO! What of my presents.... Trixie?

[...It, uh... it's in the mail...]

>...

[...]

>...Give it back.

[IT IS TRIXIE'S NOW!]

>GIVE IT BAAAACK!

"... I love this place."

[TRIXIE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER GIFT! SHE PROMISES!... EVENTUALLY!]

>WHY YOU LITTLE!

[You'll never take Trixie alive!]

>...I admit, I am unsure why they insisted I stay with you two until Two is finished no doubt destroying that hoverbike, but-

'To quote, "Chrysalis has got to see this, Celestia wants to be there in case of a fire, Twilight in case it goes wrong and she can fix it, Mane-iac because something about comic books and sudden parachutes, smoke monster because he's a giant pillow, Eighteen because she needs to regulate it and is already writing laws for... Cadence, I guess? And my son and Daughter in law for obvious reasons.'

>...I could catch it.

"So can, like, all of them?"

>....SO! Uh... how is your day going?

"Really."

>...

'What do you even do around here anyway?'

>I am here to ensure nothing attacks the royal family in any regard to ensure a better relationship between my species and this kingdom. If something threatens them, I make it dead.

"Ohhhh."

'...So, you watch our son and daughter in law?'

>Yes, I am constantly watching their backsides to make sure nothing goes at them. If anything does, I put a stop to it. I never take my eyes off of them, not during any situation, and am always there to service any needs they need, no matter what it is they ask. I am very strong, I can handle most everything, regardless of how caring and gentle they are most days.

"..."

'...You're NOT the one they're dating, right?'

>N-NO! NO NO NO!... I mean, no, that is my fellow changeling, Eighteen.

"Right..."

'...Aren't you the one who's not-very-secretly-OW!'

"Let her pretend!"

>Pretend what?

'...How does he keep doing it?'

"I think the big one said something about changeling nip, but my eyes were rolling in the back of my head long before that."

She could smell it.

In the grass beneath the snow.

In the trees.

In the world all around her.

She could smell it.

She could smell the fear.

Whatever had run her over was now tearing off in fear, and she could smell it.

>Ah'm gonna git' you, ya' varmit.

She could smell it.

And she was going to taste the fear in their blood.

After she drank their torn skull dry...

'Yeah, this is nice.'

"It's against the rules to get the captain a gift."

'Yeah, because then they could use that to subtly bribe them.'

"Like Fleetfoot did, multiple times."

'I'm actually the reason it got made!'
