The Bester Gift Ever

The Bester Gift Ever is the Season 3 First Holiday Double-Feature Special of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. The Lougers once again desided to hold a holiday party at Equestria in the School of Friendship and invited their allies to attend to enjoy the festivities. However, the party suddenly got interupted by EXTREMELY uninvited guests: An army of the same Nova-Titans from "A Defence for De-Extinction" Two-Parter lead surprisingly by A mysteriously restored North Wind, Toron, Kai, Equinox, Corruptus, Mothlock, Lu Kai, Tyberious, Duke Rough Diamond, Doltson, Magmatacus as a grown up again, Cold Ironheart, Prince Mane-Feather as a Stone of Geo corrupted dragon again, Another Yakotuar, Wicked Heart, Segrego, Winger, The Mean Six, Coffee, Bishop Dipper, Apocrypha, even Lord Millapede's back, and for whatever reason, the troupe are out on a mission to "Destroy Christmas and Hearths Warming" and to bring forth a Windego Ice Age. This made the group confused as it was NOT consistent with what the various villains were usually like, espeically not North Wind who wanted to CONTROL christmas, not destroy it. But then came the Reindeer, Aurora, Bori, and Alice, and told them that the villains they are seeing are NOT the ones they are familier with, but actselly hatred shadows that happen to take the form of their witnesseses most undesireable and/or recent foes. So after defeating the hatred spirits, which lead them to discover the shorce of where the Hatred Spirits came from, a black necromorthic frost-bitten Reindeer named Lord Shiver, who reveil that Aura, Borei and Alice and canonly shown Reindeer from the comics are but hybrids of true Reindeer, who live futher north of Equestria in the Cervian reindeer and caribou land of Rangifia and are of the magical reindeer responsible for spreading gifts to all children and adults, as typical of reindeer, called Hearth Reindeer. And Shiver has grown immensely bitter on how Hearths Warming and Chirstmas alike, is treated with commercialisum with barely any true respect to the original meaning of both holidays that he aims to upright get rid of both holidays so they are not mistreated anymore and would only reverse it if they are treated with respect again, with the threat that failure to do so will allow the Windegos to take over. However, The Pillers and the Founders of Equestria arrived to deal with Shiver themselves, warning that he's too powerful for the misfits to face alone. However, Shiver gives a surprise to the Founders in anpsipating their return: Gale, and for the Pillers, Speicalised Hatred Spirits that take the form of darker versons of themselves that mock and belittle them for their regrets and what they had done in trying to send themselves to Limbo in trying to stop the Pony of Shadows. All the while, Discord and Deadpool began to have a present contest on who can give their faverite pony the better gift, and pretty much have a tomfoolery rivalry in allou to "Employee of the Month" as the duo end up humiliating eachother in trying to find that perfect gift. This would be a holiday event no-one's gonna forget. Meanwhile, the Young Six and others share their own stories of how they spent the holidays during The Best Gift Ever, all while they are showing around a new student: the reindeer Princess of Rangifia Princess Polarity.

Stories

 * Gallus- Gallus found himself right back at home, being miserable once more, and Gabby and Gruff took notice. As a result, Gabby aims to make the Blue Moon Festival MORE then just the one rare event where Griffins aren't so assholish to eachother and aims to adopt Hearths' Warming Traditions into the festival, but the traditionalist trade establisher of Griffinstone and one of the comtemporary leaders of the troubled colony, Count Troy Diction, refuses to allow any changes. Thus, Gabby needs to find a way to inspire Gallus to help her bring the cheer of the holidays to a troubled tradition, with Gabby believing that if the Blue Moon Festival was made better then comtemporarly having everyone BARELY be nice to eachother for that day, it might not only make Gallus' time away from the School of Friendship students more enjoyable, but contribute in improving Griffin attatudes.
 * Smolder and Quartz- Smolder and Quartz had no trouble noticing that the dragons are even more aggressive then usual, and it didn't took them long to discover why: The Feast of Fire now has a theme about how "Sucky" Ponies are. And it's being run by Vemita, Quartz' old bully, and her goons, Zmarts, Garbage and Pail, Gasser and Ignitito, A Hidious Zippleback Look-alike with virtually the same funtion as well, Slammerhino, a dragon with a large nose horn, and the insecure dimintive dragon who is the son of the elder who usually runs the event, Bright Eyes, of which the event was meant to be for him, but Vemita and her goons overwealmed him and forced him to surrender the one thing that allows the festival to go, The Torch of Stories, a magical torch that reacts to the best story it was told to and how a winner is desided, and unfortunately, because Vemita choose a theme to be about "Ponies Sucking", it would end up encouraging dragons' superiority complexes against ponies. Smolder aims to get Quartz to put a stop to this shit and stop a false theme end up serving to make Dragons want to give ponies shit. But with Quartz not as confident to face Vemita again since she knows it's a real one and not an illution from the cave of harmony, Smolder's best chances of stopping Vemita may involve a difficult task: Finding the two ponies Quartz befriended to begin with.
 * Ocellus, Gaster, Caster, and Buster- At the Changeling Hive, Gaster struggles to find a gift for Ocellus, even more so since Gaster has very embittered feelings torwords holidays in general since Changelings used to celebrate "Chrysalis Day", a time where the hive automaticly gives all gifts to Chrysalis, especially when one of the worst holiday-traditional Changelings, Humbug, becomes a public nuisance. Ocellus struggles as well when she realised that the Changelings ended up taking the holiday to a litteralist way and now has to be able to get the Changelings to make some changes about their way of celebrating Hearth's Warming. All the while, Caster and Buster are inspired by "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and want to "Stole" Hearth's Warming from all of Equestria as the penultamate prank, but the duo would end up being proven LOUSY grinches when they instead get mistaken as "Reindeer" in an orphanage and end up giving a troubled one named Downz McGutter some hope for his future as he was never adopted dude to be crippled in both backlegs and one front leg being able to completely move, now the two needed to give him the greatest of all gifts: A family.
 * Rhabdom, Sandbar, and Shore- Sandbar and Shore spent some time togather while they wait for Novo to deliver Sandbar's own transformation necklace. But the two ended up discovering from Sandbar's siblings that Sandbar's parents are finally filing for devorce on litterally a very immoppertune time when it's the holidays because the two finally felt their love for eachother has run it's course. Sandbar and Shore both aim to revitalised that romance by playing "Hearth's Helper" and set up events where the two both end up getting very speical presents of what the two desired the most and into thinking that they gotten eachother a great present, but would it end up complimenting things when the two actively tried to prove eachother that they gave eachother the best ever gifts? All the while, Rhabdom tries to introduse Hearth's Warming to her hive, but like with Ocellus, they ended up taking a VERY litteralist approuch to everything and end up embarising her.
 * Silverstream- An inbetween event occuring during the last story, Silverstream aims to give Sandbar and Shore the best ever gift by asking Novo to give Sandbar a transformation necklace. But alas, The Three Days of Freedom Celebration faces cancelation by a Hippogriff Embessy member and a land-purist, Sir Drybutt, who aims to "Reabilitate" the Hippogriffs of Mount Aris by re-intrudusing the Land Hippogriff holiday, "Sky Day", in rather having the Mount Aris Hippogriffs forget they ever had a reason to be in the ocean and go back to being "A proper Hippogriff Colony". With Novo and Skystar helpless to stop him, Silverstream aims to convince Drybutt out of his path, which will lead her to understand that Drybutt back in the Pure Hippogriffin homeland had a trumatic exspearience in almost drowning in one event, which lead to him having Aqua-phobia ever since, of which Silverstream aims to cure.
 * Yona- Apawn Yona's arrival, she heard Pinkie's scream about "The Gift Givers", and so did Yakbrain, who came to Rutherford and forced him to admit that Yaks were terrorable at giving gifts, to Yakbrain's dismay as he became IMMEASUREABLY upset that Yaks "have become SO STUPID to the point that even a mere exchanging of gifts is as confusing as the meaning of life" as Yakbrain proceeded to run away crying! Yona then realises that she needs to help Yakbrain more then ever now, as she aims to give Yakbrain the greatist of gifts: Getting Yaks to learn how to give gifts, as well as help Yakbrain appreciate the joy of the 'dumb' ceremonies the Yaks have on the holidays, something he has always couldn't stand. But because of Snilldar Fest, a time where things given to Yaks are instintly crushed and smashed, Yona may end up not having a that great of a time.
 * Skyceria- Skyceria arrives home in time to enjoy the Perytons' holiday, The Ice Festival, which is the winter part of the Peryton's seasonal holiday traditions. She came to look forword to a time of enjoying a great feast of winter's bounty and the phrasing of nature. However, Skyceria's home is being pressured to be bought out by an overtly determined land defelupter unicorn named Absolut'e Resort'e, who aims to turn the Peryton's home into a ski resort and cut down the surrounding woodlands for buildings, hot-tubs, a hot choco stand, a sky ramp and a skyliner. Skyceria needs to save her home from being pushed over in favor of a ski resort. And she would end up getting the help of a shut-in Dwarfed Yeti named The Estranged Snowman, all the while is being chased by a Griffin game hunter who is cowinsidently Absolut'e's hired protection against wild life, Gameron Hunterson. The situation isn't helped with Skyceria's Older Sister, Princess Prominade, began to try and get her exclusive holiday dedicated to her be brought up earlier then then Ice Festival, essentially 'Julianuary'-ing the entire Peryton kingdom, and it's up to her sister to show her what the effects of her showboating is doing to her people, espeically during a bad time when a self-serving tycoon is trying to buy their home.
 * Clone Six- The Clone Six don't have a family to be with for the holidays, thus Barktrot decides to bring them to an Ent holiday celebration where they meet the Entified Mean Seven and learn how to appreciate holidays without family. However, they discover that the Ent Holiday has a very strong requirence to get gifts, so the rest of the facilty pitched in to help by taking them to the one place Buzzord has recimended: Baazarland, Abyssinia's biggest international place of goods from around the world, where in the times of the holidays the "Lands of Barguins" is having what is basicly an equestian "Black Friday", called "Red Week", where lower prices encourage customers going after the best object quickly. The Clone Six aimed to get the best presents for the Interacial students. However, they ended up discovering that Flim and Flam are being mistreated by their distint traveling trader uncle, Trader Baholony. Baholony wanted the brothers to get back into being traveling traders like he wanted them to, but he was annoyed on how they came to run a resort in Las Pegacius and was the one who forced them into selling the Holly Dolls to begin with. Thus, he forced the Brothers to go on their way to sell the dolls, while the Clone 6 kept their eye on Baholony. However, by the time the duo got back and the front was ruined by Applejack and Fluttershy, Baholony threw a fit and called them disgraces. Baholony came to disown the brothers and to leave..... The clones now deside that Baholony, being the only family the brothers have, needs to be given a holiday revelation and to accept the brothers as they are and not what they should've been.
 * Little Dipper- Little Dipper desides to return to the Hollow Shades for the holidays. However, he discovers that the ponies aren't trying to put up Hearth's Warming decorations. Little Dipper was quick to realise that the Hollow Shade residences are still behaving as if the Church of Woeus is still a thing and still have little reason to be like the rest of Equestria. Thus, Little Dipper teams up with cheerior residence of the town to throw a Hearth's Warming play and to bring back Holiday Spirit. But shenanigans keep occuring that undermine Little Dipper's efferts. On top of making the play, he also needs to introduce Hearth's Warming to the Shadow Realm of Taraxippuses with help from Doldrumsta. But the former bogeyponies have a hard time with it because it's like teaching a demon how to be good, making such a holiday alien to them. Can little Dipper bring joy back into a village that grown to forgotten it?
 * Cozy Glow- Because of SAF lore saying that the season 8 finale didn't happened yet, Cozy's justification for absince is because she went to return to the 'daemon' mansion of her family. However, her family are as disjointed as ever as arguements and bitterness ruled the dinner table and the tree was scarced of presents beyond cheaply bought trinkits, along with the tree being rediculiously skinny, like, Charlie Brown's Chrismas skinny. Cozy Glow aims to bring back the joy of the holidays back to a disorganised family, but her efferts to put them back togather only further seperates them. Can Cozy be able to get her family to put their acts togather?

Chapter 1: Hearth's Warming Once More
Dark and Scary room Ponyville KFP Spirit Realm. Louger's Van. Cutaway Present A quick trip back to the Dragon Realms later. Back to Equestria as Quickly.
 * A cold and lonely unseen figure was seen watching many canon and uncanon events that unfold throughout Equestria's histroy....
 * ???: "...... War....... Greed.......... Pollution....... Destruction! This world has been over-comed, by taintedness. It cannot be saved..... At least..... Not conventionally...... Christmas...... And Hearth's Warming...... (Reveils itself as a skeletal-looking necromorthic frostbitten Reindeer).... Shall be Ho..... Ho...... Over......"
 * ??? 2: "..... Really boss? Ending it on a Santa Pun?"
 * Reindeer: "DAMN IT, YOU FROST SPIRIT, CAN YOU NOT RUIN THE MOMENT?!"
 * ???: "SORRR-RY, I'm just pointing it out! Sheesh, you're grumpy."
 * Reindeer: "IT COMES FROM BEING ANGRY WITH HOW EQUESTRIA HAS TREATED SACRED HOLIDAYS?! (Dark Spirits formed around the room)..... And I intend..... To correct that...... Very soon......"
 * The Van was seen arriving as the Song finished up.
 * Po: "..... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Boy..... After that mess with Jindiao in that Amazon Prime adventure I just had, the dragon "Master", could use a holly-jolly-day off."
 * Tigress: "It's hard to believe, that four mere CHILDREN, became worthy of the Four Constellations' great powers!"
 * Shifu: "(Deadpan) And at such young ages."
 * Mantis: "And further un-nessersary justification on why Oogway picked Po. It was fine enough that Pandas saved his life. That stuff about Pandas being lost guardians to the shorce of ALL FREAKING CHI, WAS OVER-KILL AT THIS POINT?!"
 * Icky: "But hey, at least Po-ster was able to stop Not-A-Vulture Not-Ke-Pa and the obvious Tempest Shadow as a Deer and gals."
 * Gazelle: "..... Abit of a shame that old vulture is still stuck in that spirit urn with that monster though."
 * Po: "Oh don't worry. Oogway is TOTALLY working on getting Chong out."
 * Bunnidruma: "..... Though, great as doing nothing is, we should probuly figure out how to get that Chong guy out without freeing Jindiao."
 * Oogway: "Oh most certainly."
 * Bunnidruma: "..... So, any ideas?"
 * Oogway: "..... I don't know."
 * Bunnidruma: "...... Yeah, me neither. But we'll figure SOMETHING out!"
 * Oogway: "In the meantime though:..... The Other Kung Fu Masters are playing Majhong. You're welcome to attend."
 * Bunnidruma: "OKAY!"
 * Icky: "Well, if there's any nitpicks I have, is that the series felt like a collaberation of rejected Legends of Awesomeness Episodes smushed togather and given extra edgelord cheese to try and become it's own thing. And new character designs for freshness. In fact, it felt like it was trying to be the Kung Fu Panda 2, of the francise's TV series section. I mean, that Jindiao dude is OBVIOUSLY trying to be like if Shen and Ke-Pa had gay sex with eachother and those deer basicly his equilent to the wolves. Though moments like Po's two dads bickering with eachother and Mr. Ping's sudden cart fetish, and that one hilarious moment with Po getting kicked by Lady Not-A-Constable Hu with an elephant sound effect, REALLY ruined the edginess, and the implacations that Jindiao has sometimes WASTED his doe friends...... That show was an emotional hodgepodge of it trying to be serious yet also tried to be funny, and the fact that the Rafki-Rabbit, DIED?! I, did not anpisapated that, and-...... OKAY, SCROOPFAN, CAN YOU NOT USE ME AS A MOUTHPIECE TO GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THAT SHOW?!"
 * Scroopfan: "OKAY OKAY, SHEESH?"
 * Icky: "..... The giant spider was funny though- DAMN IT, SF?!"
 * Mr. Dodo: "Okay everyone, we are now about to land in Equestria."
 * The Van landed as the Main 7 were quick to welcome them.
 * Twilight: Welcome and happy holidays, Lougers..... You guys came later than we expected.
 * Sandy: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, SpongeBob isn't here, sadly. He's in the middle of a... Coping moment.
 * SpongeBob: (Saw the news of Stephen Hillenburg's death on his phone and did this)
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Is it gonna be another "Robin Williams" Thing?"
 * Icky: "Don't worry, the producer desided to be smart about giving famous people farewell tributes. He's going to take a season 6 episode and have it be released early to become a speical."
 * Spike: Good call.
 * Rarity: "But do you think you'll do fine without Spongebob around?"
 * Lord Shen: "Well in all fairness, while Spongebob may be founder leader, he, actselly rarely contributes much of anything. And even then, thanks to Tman, Spyro is at most the next best thing for a leader, so, we'll managed."
 * Squidward: "Besides, Stephen's death aside, at least Spongebob and Patrick would be absint today."
 * Mr. Krabs: ".... Yikes..... Ye be having problems, Squidward."
 * Squidward: "WELL EXCUSE ME IF SPONGEBOB IS MORE OFTEN THEN NOT THE SHORCE OF MY PROBLEMS?!"
 * Sandy: "Squidward, cool it. Stephen is just as much a reason you exist just as he was to Spongebob."
 * Squidward: "..... (Sighs)..... Okay, fine.... I'll take a sick day on being an ass, for once."
 * Pinkie: "So, I take it that means Patrick isn't here neither?"
 * Po: "Yeah. A rare moment of being a genuine friend when he's usually far from being self-aware about anything. Good to know that Patrick desided against to be the kind of guy a lot of Modern Spongebob critics hate. He might do something spiecal for Spongebob."
 * Icky: "Let's hope it doesn't burn down the Dragon Guardian Temple in the process."
 * Iago: "..... NAAAAAAAA'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, YA JINXED IT, NOW IT'S TOTALLY GONNA-"
 * The Dragon Guardian Temple was burned down.......
 * The Lougers stared in shock.......
 * Iago: "......... Happen."
 * Lord Shen: "...... Thank goodness Kairi's away with Sora on their own holiday exploits."
 * Duke: "And that the High Councilers are away on Holiday Vacation."
 * Alex: "BUT LOOK AT THE TEMPLE?! IT'S A WRECK?!"
 * Sandy: "..... But, where's Spongebob and Patrick?"
 * Voice: "We're up here."
 * The Lougers look up to see Patrick and Spongebob hanging by their underwears on a broken leaning pointy tower.....
 * Max: "..... Do I, even wanna know the story behind this?
 * Sam: "I'd bet it's an interesting one too, little buddy."
 * Icky: "...... WELL THIS IS A HOLIDAY DISHASTOR?!"
 * Shifu: "..... (Sighs)....... At least holidays always bring the tradition of villainy's absince."
 * Lord Shen: "But that doesn't make this mess any less inconvinent....."
 * ???: "Oh my goodness, Viper!"
 * Lord Copperfang was seen.
 * Lord Copperfang: "What happened?!"
 * Viper: "..... Let's just say..... We might be abit more cautious of ever leaving Spongebob and Patrick alone, ever, again."
 * Lord Copperfang: "Say no more, my dear niece, I seen that show of their's. How's about you Lougers go back to Equestria and I'll see about having all of your friends from across the universes to fix this place? It'll be my treat."
 * Viper: "Thank you, Uncle."
 * Lord Copperfang: "My pleasure. Now, go on back to your ponyfriends. (The Lougers took Spongebob and Patrick and left)...... (Uses a phone) Hello, Joe's Contacting Company? Yes, it's THE Copperfang. I have, a long list of contacts that I wanted to make today."
 * Fluttershy: "Oh you poor things. I'm so sorry about the Dragon Guardian Temple burning down."
 * Icky: "Welp, lesson learned. Next time we have to leave the two most netourious noutical knuckleheads alone, we hire a babysitter for them."
 * Patrick: "HEY! Our first movie, proved, that we're NOT, babies!"
 * Pinkie: "(Gives out milk and cookies) Want some Milk and Cookies?"
 * Patrick: "Hey, can I have the cookies with the giant M&M-like candies on them? (Pinkie zoomed off and got them).... Thanks."
 * Icky: "...... Tch. And I'm the king of Sweden."
 * Iago: "That depends on if Sweden still practices monarchies or not."
 * Familier music was heard.....
 * Rainbow Dash: "...... Is that "Get Ready to Die" By Andrew W.K.?"
 * Lord Shen: "...... Oh dear gods, no..... NOT HIM?!"
 * The Lougers ran out and saw Fu-Xi's ship as it played the song!
 * Fu-Xi: "...... Well, Ho-ho-ho, Shell Louge Squad! It does my mighty serpentine heart good, to see my good friends, Viper of the Jade Palace, and- (Looks at the other Lougers)....... The rest. Oh, and your wimpy Boyfriend Sire Piss."
 * Icky and Iago broke into laughter!
 * Sir Hiss: "(Blushes)..... It's, Sir Hiss, actselly."
 * Fu-Xi: "Oh yes, right, right. Oh, and I hope you don't mind, but, I invited some guests as well."
 * Fu-Xi thwacked his tail, as Jade Tusk, Hufang, and three Poison Clan members appeared and landed from Fu-Xi's ship epicly!
 * Po: "Deer Lady?!"
 * Tigress: "Her name was Jade Tusk, Po."
 * Po: "Oh yeah right, Jade Tusk?!"
 * The five deers got up, and did a bow of respect.
 * Jade Tusk: "We are not worthy to be in your presence, Dragon Master."
 * Icky: "So, Fu-Xi, what exactly are ya doing with the Fang Gang here?"
 * Fu-Xi: "Oh, they're comtemporary servents until they can figure out what to do with themselves now that a disgraced Demi-Dragon is out of the picture. For the time being, these bitches basicly do what I say, it's great!"
 * Jade Tusk: "We sought Fu-Xi out to show us a way to a better path for his connection to the Dragon Gods as the son of one. (Quietly) So lucky."
 * Fu-Xi: "They litterally do everything I tell them. Hey, watch this. A-TEN-HUT, LADIES?! (The five stood perfectly straight!)......"
 * Tito: "(Chuckles) Heeeeeey, check it out. Do they fetch and play dead too?"
 * Destructive sounds were heard as Cletus and Clem were seen driving donut holes into the ground on a prison transport truck they likely stolen!
 * Icky: "Awwww, no! Cletus and Clem?! Those two illegit sport hunter octopus jackasses that messed up Vambi's life?! What're THEY doing here?!"
 * Sandy: "Obviously violating their ill-fit parole, AGAIN!"
 * Lord Shen: "BUT HOW DID THEY GET HERE?!"
 * Icky: "Because, Plot Convinence."
 * Fu-Xi: "AHEM! To answer the little canine's question, as a matter of fact, yes..... Poison Clan, (Thwack's tail again) FETCH?! (Jade Tusk and the other four brought out weapons and charged battle crying!)"
 * Clem's voice: "HEY LOOK?! MORE DEER?!..... And they gots vampire teeth-"
 * Fighting sounds were heard along side Cletus' and Clem's screams!
 * Icky and Iago: "OHHHHHHH?!"
 * Po: "Ohhh."
 * Alex: "Ohhh."
 * Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity: "Ohhhhhhhh!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Yowza."
 * Cletus and Clem were tossed right at the Lougers' feet and defeated, as Jade and her four followers arrived back.
 * Jade Tusk: "Are you pleased, Lord Fu-Xi?"
 * Fu-Xi: "Yup, that's pretty much our random idiot jackass qouta for the day."
 * Kolwalski: "I'll see to it that the Van is automaticly set to transport these two chuckle-heads back to their proper cells in the Dragon Realms' prison. (Rico proceeded to drag the two off)."
 * ???: "Well, it's evident that we're not the only old friends visiting today."
 * Starswirl and both Pillers and Founders arrived.
 * Starlight: "Starswirl, you and the others made it! So, how did it go with the Fanonverse Debunked Zone Guardian and those..... Weird bug things?"
 * Clover: "So lucky I was saved from being a newfound resident there, THAT'S for sure!"
 * Icky: "Well you were lucky that the Cards were not serious canon, so, yeah."
 * Puddinghead: "Miss Sparkle, I'm here to make sure you do my pudding recipe RIGHT this time."
 * Twilight: "And I appresiate this, ​Puddinghead, really, I-"
 * ???: "THERE'S MY SPEICAL GIRL?!"
 * Twilight's entire family was seen, even Shining with Candence and Flurry Heart!​​​​
 * Twilight: "Mom! Dad! Shining! Candence?! Flurry!"
 * Spongebob: "Now it's a party!"
 * Everyone proceeded to go inside the castle..... Unaware that they were being watched by cold eyes, which were forming dark spirits.

 * Icky: "Well, yeah. They all blew up on that "Drill of Extinction" thing, why?"
 * Mimi: "..... Another question, (Becomes more concern) Do robots have souls, (Scared) BECAUSE I'M SEEING AN ARMY OF MECHANISED GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST?!"
 * The Group looked out the window and see an army of the The Defense For De-Extinction Nova-Titans.
 * Icky: "..... Well, shit. I hate working on the holidays."
 * Spyro: "But we can all agree, invadtions on the holidays are even more detestable. Let's make quick work of the madman respondsable."
 * The Group arrived outside.
 * Lord Shen: "OKAY, YOU TINCANS?! WHO'S RESPONDSABLE FOR MANAGING TO BRING YOU ALL BACK?!"

 * Huifang: "Huh? Oh oh oh oh, right! (Brings out a cross-bow and starts firing like mad against Nova-Titans!)."

 * Rainbow Dash: "...... Something tells me that those guys, were not what we thought they were."
 * Alice: "No they were not. They were hatred spirits."
 * Bori: "Basicly, they're not very nice."
 * Aurora: "Even more so when they took someone dear to us."
 * Tigress: "..... Explain."
 * Aurora, Bori and Alice were enjoying some hot coco offered by Pinkie.
 * Aurora: "Mmm. Great Coco."
 * Lord Shen: "Listen, ladies-"
 * Aurora: "Aurora,"
 * Bori: "Bori,"
 * Alice: "Alice!"
 * Fu-Xi: "Duh, aurora borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, at THIS part of the country, LOCALISED entirely inside this magical christail tree castle, as Reindeer?!"
 * Sir Hiss: "....... Was utilising a now meme-a-fived Simpsons Quate REALLY nessersary then?"
 * Fu-Xi/Skipper: "....... Yes."
 * Lord Shen: "AHEM!....... May I ask on what these Hatred Spirits are all about?"
 * Bori: "They're terrorable spirits of hate that were born during the times when ponies were still bitter about losing the Alicorn gods that acumulated during there anger and saddness and bitterness torwords eachother."
 * Icky: "Well, DOI! Hate Spirits are Haters! But, why did they took the form of some of our most personal/hated enemies- Wait, just answered it myself."
 * Alice: "Pretty much ya said. Hatred Spirits can take the personifications of the very thing, or very person, that has given you the greatest trouble in the past, though often of recent memory for amatur ones."
 * Aurora: "Like Windegos, they do WORSE then just feed off of hatred. They make it control you. They turn you into a frost-bitten zombifyived angry bitter monster, and turn you into an angry spiteful soul!"
 * Bori: "We know this personally from learning about...... Lord Shiver."
 * Icky: "Oh that's the most trying-too-hard-to-sound-evil name ever!"
 * Alice: "I know, right? Ol'Chill can try to hard at times."
 * Lord Shen: "Who is this, "Lord Shiver"?"
 * Aurora: "..... Truth be told, he's a true Equestrian Reindeer. Me and my siblings are just hybirds that are able to harness Equestrian magic."
 * Fu-Xi: "Wait, you're sisters? But Miss Auroroa, You're-"
 * Alice: "Older then the other two? The age differences are just side-effects of our spiecal abilities. We're actselly 2-3 years older to younger then eachother. I know, our appearences are misleading."
 * Bori: "But it comes with the terratory of being Hearth's Deer."
 * Twilight: "(Squees) I read about them?! (Brings out the Hearth's Warming Book!) They were magic capable Reindeer from Rangifia, the Cervian polar homeland of reindeer and caribou! Eek! They're the greatest at giving gifts! I can't believe we have such a chance to meet them!"
 * Pinkie: "Well, tecnecally, I met them first when I was trying to find a perfect gift when we did that Hearth's Helper then. And boy did it help when Twilight had an epic pudding dishastor!"
 * Twilight: "EEEE?! YOU GOT TO MEET THEM FIRST HAND PINKIE?! TELL ME EVERYTHING?!"
 * Pinkie: "Oops! I just remembered that Rutherford told me to keep it a secret!"
 * Twilight: "THE YAKS KNEW ABOUT IT?!"
 * Pinkie: "Well, just Rutherford actselly, Yaks are actselly TERRORABLE at giving gifts, which makes me concern on how Yakbrain's gonna react to it, and- BAHHHHHHH?! I FORGOT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A SECRET TOO?! DARN IT?! THIS IS FILLI VINILI LEVELS OF BAD, PINKIE?!"
 * Aurora: "Ahem.... I think we got side-track. Let us explain about Lord Shiver."
 * (Aurora): "Shiver Chill was once like other Reindeer. He was the happiest of them all as they came. And he had the greatest respect, for Christmas and Hearth's Warming, and, of all holidays actselly. He was all about treating holidays with the upmost sacred care, espeically when Chirstmas and Hearth's Warming are concerned. He saw them as a time of generosity, humility, and the purest exsample of decenty. Unfortunately, one day.... He saw something that broke him..... He saw holidays, getting commercialised."
 * (Icky): "I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA TURN INTO AN ANTI-COMMERCIALISED CHIRSTMAS WARNING?!"
 * (Aurora): "Shiver was disgusted and distroted by how ponies and other creatures began to treat the holidays. The commericalisium of holidays, the acts of things he found, degenerate, like drunken holiday parties and holiday themed laungerie, he saw those more happy with wealth, power, and fruitless material pocessions then the company of others, that not everyone puts on a holly jolly face in the holidays, that very little was done to help with the needs of those less fortunate that couldn't afford a great holiday, that conflict would still exist even in times of Hearth's Warming or even Christmas, and over-all, treat the holidays more like a specticale then something to be sacred."
 * (Icky): "This guy is litterally Death Coffin the Holiday Spiecal!"
 * (Aurora): "He became immeasurely bitter and spiteful about the fall of something so sacred to him, that he wanted to take away holidays from all of Equestria forever, or, at least until all races are "humbled" about the true meaning of the holidays. And that was when.... The Hatred Spirits, took him over. (Shiver Chill was taken over by the Hatred Spirits as he becomes a far darker figure) With newfound darker powers, Shiver Chill began to steal Hearth's Deer magic to make himself a more powerful force, so he can plot for millenda on how to end the holidays..... Perimently."
 * Blackness over took the flashback as the red eyes closed in!
 * Bori: "Poor deer's been that way ever since."
 * The Crusaders were shaking behind their sisters.
 * Mr. Wiskers: "...... That, wasn't very christmasy."
 * Alice: "I know. Shiver lost his holiday spirit because the modern world of Equestria stopped celebrating the holidays with respect and dignity. His body was darkly effected by this hatred so great, he turned into a frost-bitten magical ice mummy that became heavily connected to the Hatred Spirits."
 * Bori: "And now, he wants to force a reminder on why those holidays should be respected: By causing a new Windego Ice Age."
 * Sandy: "..... Well gang, it looks we we got a grinch to stomp!"
 * Po: "Heck yeah?! (Poses) Time to give that holiday scrooge a taste of justice!"
 * Lord Shen: "Indeed! No one dares harms the holidays because of some undesireable traits on MY WATCH?!"
 * Aurora: "Your best shot of finding him is pretty much the tallest mountain back in Rangifia: Mt. Yuletide.... A.K.A, Mt Dark'n'Spooky for how scary it looks ever since Shiver moved in there!"
 * Icky: "And there's our Grinch's base?! Thanks ladies, we'll take it from here!"
 * The Heroes zoomed off with the Main 7 and Fu-Xi and the Poison clan, as the other guests were left behind......
 * Candence: "..... Welp, may as well help ourselves to Twilight's new pudding attempt since we're here."
 * Crusaders: "YAY?!"
 * Shining: "But what about you three- (Noticed that Aurora, Bori and Alice were gone and left a note)..... (Picks it up). (Reads) Don't worry about this. We'll follow the misfits and the Main 7 and help when needed. Signed, Aurora, Bori, and Alice. (Speaks) Well that's considerate of them. Just hope that Twilight's school can managed without them, Espeically with Buzzord in mind."
 * The Camera pans right at the Friendship School.

 * The Students were seen enjoying a christmas-eve/Hearths Warming party with the factily.
 * Barktrot: "(Before a podium) Alright, alright, settle down, students. Now, as once again contemporary caretaker, I must address that we are getting a new student being sent to us from the Cervia regeion of Rangifia, the Cervian polar homeland of reindeer and caribou. And also, she is also another student of royal background. She is the daughter of King Boreal, and a learning Hearth Reindeer, of which Spiracle will cover the details of in culture class. She's already a cheerful sort, but she needs to learn to use the Hearth Intuition with subtily as she is prone to accsidently expose more then what people are comfertable with knowing. Now, please give a welcoming applause, to Princess Polarity Push. (The Sudents applauded as an excitable Reindeer flew in excitingly in a giggle-fit! This, was Polarity)!"
 * Polarity: "HAPPY HOLIDAYS, TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS OF THE FRIENDSHIP SCHOOL?! I already know that we're gonna be great friends, cause Hearth Intuition is almost always never wrong!"
 * Gallus: "(Quietly) Yikes. Is she excitable or what?"
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Oh come on, Gally, she's only eccentric. She's obviously like a fish out of water, this is the first time Reindeer seriously interacted with people."
 * Gaster: "(Quietly) Barring Pinkie's meeting with like, three of them, ya mean?"
 * Barktrot: "A certain number of you shall be selected to give Miss Polarity a tour of the school. It shall be selected by Lightvine who will-"
 * Gallus: "(Raises left talon) Up up up! We all know how this is gonna go down. Lightvine is gonna end up picking us because we're petty much a petrie dish of diversed characters! So we may as well skipped the filler and just get it over with."
 * Barktrot: "..... Well, that just saves alot on Familier magic cause of you volenteering, Gallus. Very well. The Interacial Six and friends have the honor of giving Polarity a tour. Have fun, you bunch."
 * Polarity excitedly zoomed up to the group and accsidently bowled over them as bowling pin shatter was heard!
 * Buzzord: "STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!"
 * Electross: "...... Oh that was a dick move, bro."
 * Buzzord: "Sorry. Force of habit when it comes to bowling."
 * Polarity: "I am, SO excited, to be here! I can't wait to learn the best ways to be a good Hearth's Deer!"
 * Gallus: "...... Hey, ya know, Polly? We're more then happy to tell ya some free pointers from our own holiday adventures that happened when Hasbro aired the big speical early."
 * Polarity gasped!
 * Polarity: "I, would, LOVE THAT?! Tell me tell me tell me tell me?!"
 * Smolder: "Well someone's in a holiday approved mood."
 * Gallus: "Eh, Blue Moon Festival tradtion. Speaking of which, when I went on holiday on that spiecal, I was basicly giving a chance to make the Festival even better then.... It, barely was before."
 * Gallus was seen being escourted by Gabby and Gilda torwords Griffinstone.
 * Gallus: "I don't know what to say, guys, I, never thought you guys would invite me to your Blue Moon Festival feast."
 * Gilda: "Well, Rainbow Dash learned from your friends that you're actselly miserable on the holiday and told us about it, so, why not make your Blue Moon Festival exspearience more of a..... Not, miserable time."
 * Gabby: "Yeah. When Gilda told me how sad you were on the Blue Moon Festival, I wanted nothing more then to change that, so we asked Gruff to let you come to our BMF feast."
 * Gilda: "Cause Gramps owes me."
 * Gallus: "Why do you call him "Gramps", when he's nobody's grandpa?"
 * Gilda: "Hey, believe it or not, he's actselly MY grandpa. We just, don't get along as famously as you would think.... Blame that on Griffinstone's asmospire."
 * Gallus: "What CAN'T we blame our problems on anything BUT on how much our hometown SUCKS BALLS?!"
 * Gilda: "Unspoken understatement, kid."
 * Gabby: "Well, actselly Gallus, if it helps...... I'm actselly trying to improve the Blue Moon Festival by having it adopt some Hearth's Warming Quilites."
 * Gallus and Gilda got surprised......
 * Gallus/Gilda: "...... You're not serious, right?"
 * Gabby: "I am SO seriousy serious about it!"
 * Gallus: "Gabs, ya know that'll never happen with Count Troy Diction around. That tradition obcessed trade establisher is a the vain of anyone who attempts to make people happy in that town."
 * Gilda: "He's pretty much the worse contemporary leader Griffinstone had to deal with until we can ever get the gull to have a new king again!"
 * Gabby: "Well, then he'll just have to deal with it, because I intend to help Griffinstone!"
 * Gilda: "Why are you so willing to be under that guy's skin about this?"
 * Gabby: "Because I figured that if I can make the Blue Moon Festival MORE then just Griffins BARELY being nice to eachother, it could contribute to making Griffinstone better, thus, Griffins will be made nicer."
 * Gallus pondered about this.....
 * Gallus: "...... Actselly....... Fixing Griffinstone like that..... IS PERFECT?!"
 * Gilda: "ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND There goes his sense of rationallity, just like THAT."
 * Gallus: "Think about it! It's obvious that cause the Blue Moon Festival doesn't do enough to make Griffins nicer then just, out of arbatary requirement we BARELY obey anyway. Hearth's Warming has so many reasons to be cheery that it made those Ponies so sweetingly nice, you can get cavaites from them!"
 * Gilda: "I'm pretty sure the ponies have a bajillion other factoids on why they're so happy with life. And purity's one of them."
 * Gallus: "Well, what's the biggest reason why Griffins are such assholes?"
 * Gabby: "Losing the idol."
 * Gilda: "Which is due to inhered greedness."
 * Gallus: "I was going for more like, because the Idol was the symbol of our happiness. And when that damn armasti took it, it wasn't just a pretty glorifived cup we lost..... He also took our happiness. And let's be honest. We're unlikely to get back the physical symbol of our happiness back, anytime soon."
 * Gilda: "No thanks to the Abysmal Abyss."
 * Gallus: "So, why not have the holiday teach Griffins to be happy WITHOUT the idol? Give them reason to find happiness without having a super-cool piece of treasure to look at! And what better way to do that, then giving the Blue Moon Festival a taste of a Hearth's Warming upgrade?"
 * Gilda: "But didn't Applejack learned the hard way about trying to change how other people celebrate the holidays?"
 * Gallus: "That was different! Pinkie's family were happy in their own, boring rock farmer way! The Griffins aren't happy, like, at all, ever since we lost the idol!"
 * Gilda: ".... Fair point, but Troy still ain't gonna be crazy for it!"
 * Gallus: "Well I dare him to try and do anything about it. That old buzzard can suck my- And he's right right behind he, isn't he- (Looks to see a bitter old Griffin in a top hat, suit, and regelaity.) EEEK?!"
 * Gabby: "Hiiiiii, Count Troy Diction."
 * Count Troy: ".... Once again, you had become a bane to my existence, Miss Gabby. But now, you turn Gilda and a youngling against me? I knew your unwarrented positivity would undermine my athority again! Well just for that, Miss Gabby. You three will be under VERY WATCHFUL SCRUTANITY in ANY possable attempt to undermine the Blue Moon Festival's purity as it is! It does NOT, need to be changed?!"
 * Gilda: "Hey, times are changing, man. Some traditions can't stay forever. It's obvious that the Festival isn't doing enough to make Griffins better. The loss of the Idol is holding them back. Things HAVE to change."
 * Count Troy: "So long as I REMAIN COMTEMPORARY leader, NONE SHALL CHANGE?! (Flew off!)"
 * Gallus: "...... This is gonna be harder then I thought."
 * Gabby: "..... Don't worry, guys.... I know how to have work-arounds."
 * (Gallus): "So we went to a near by Abyissian Skyport that really got into the holiday season.
 * The trio arrived to a Skyport that really got into the holiday spirit.
 * Bear: "Eggnog, get your fresh hot eggnog! Get'im fresh before it's time for me to hybernate!'
 * Turkey: "I say I say, I got some figgy pudding, ya hear?"
 * Beaver: "Freshly cut pine trees, get'im before the Deerlands make us give it back to them!"
 * Goose: "Various holiday decorations! Get'im while I'm still here and haven't migrated yet! Everything, HAS to go! Migration Sale at half-price!"
 * Gilda: "Okay, where are ya taking us, Gabs?"
 * Gabby: "I know I guy that can get us Hearth's Warming Stuff for cheap. Even more then the holiday sales these guys are having."
 * A Sylvester Cat-Colored Capper-Look-a-like in a trench-coat was seen setting up some pre-bought items in his own shop called "Cool Catz' Even Cheaper Items Holiday Sales", with following signs that read "Super-Cheap, Super Quick, Hassle-Free" as he was humming "Jungle Bells".
 * Gabby: "Hey Cool Catz!"
 * Cool Catz the trench-coat cat freaked out!
 * Cool Catz: "(Sylvester voice) HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEAR ANYWAY SCARING LIKE THAT, WISE GUY, IM OUGHTA- (Saw it was Gabby)...... Oh. It's just you, Gabby. Well what brings up all the way up here? I ain't got much in Blue Moon Festival decorations, BECAUSE YOU GRIFFINS DON'T DO THAT!"
 * Gabby: "Actselly, Catz. We need to give the Festaval a Hearth's makeover. We're gonna need all of your wears."
 * Cool Catz: "Well even at my generious prices, it'll still be a pretty penny to be able to-"
 * Gabby pulls out a giant sack.
 * Cool Catz: "Duh, duh, Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh."
 * Gabby: "Catz, money, is no object. I was able to save all that wealth for SUCH an occation. Glad it can finally serve a purpose."
 * Gilda: "That, would explain why you always volenteer to do tours all the time in Griffinstone."
 * Cool Catz: "...... I'll go get the REALLY big burlap."
 * The trio were seen carring the very large bag.
 * Gilda: "Just a heads up: Troy is VERY unlikely to allow us to decorate within Griffin Stone."
 * Gabby: "That's where the next part of my work-around comes in. There's an older rarely used village not too far from Griffinstone. We can use that."
 * The trio fly off to where that rarely used village is.
 * The Trio arrived....
 * Gallus: "What IS this place?"
 * Gilda: "It used to be a place where visitors can rest during visits to Griffinstone. Gruff told me that Griffinstone used to be a tourest hotspot pre-Armasti Theft. And the Idol was an attraction faverite. But when it was lost, tourisum, just stopped..... And thus this village hasn't seen life until we showed up."
 * Gabby: "Well, we're gonna bring life back to this old humble place. It shall be the birhplace of a new and improved Blue Moon Festival. Let's get to work, team."
 * Troy Diction was seen holding a long and boring speech, when suddenly griffins took note of distent lights and all went to investigate.
 * Count Troy: "What the- My fellow griffins?! Wait?! I, I wasn't done with my speech?!"
 * The Griffins arrived to the rarely used village, and found that it was covered in very festive Hearth's Warming Decorations.....
 * Grandpa Gruff: "...... Look at this! It's so...... Different!"
 * ???: "Happy Blue Moon Festival, every-griff!"
 * Gabby showed up with Gilda and Gallus.
 * Gabby: "Welcome to the Village of the New and Improved Blue Moon Festival. What do you think?"
 * Grandpa Gruff: "..... Well..... It IS a nice change of pace of only BARELY being nice of eachother..... In fact, let me guess, is all this so our attatudes can improve with a flashier holiday? Well, then don't expect our moods to change over-night for this! (Gabby gotten sad)..... That being said...... (Sincerely) This is a nice start to get that dream kick-started. I think we can all agree that the festival as it is, of just BARELY being nicer to eachother, clearly isn't making any progress of improving ourselves, and, by tecnecal extention in no thanks to idiots like Goldstone, our reputation. For that, I say "Yay" to this improvement. I mean, chourse, it'll have to be improved apawn over time so it doesn't mirror what the ponies have, but, it's a start."
 * Gabby: "(Squees)! Thank you SO much, Grandpa Gruff?! I-"
 * ???: "WELL I SAY NAY TO THIS?!"
 * The griffins looked to see an angered Count Troy Diction.
 * Count Troy Diction: "AS CONTEMPORARY LEADER OF GRIFFINSTONE, I, WILL, NOT, APPROVE OF THESE TRANSGRESSIONS?! I, will have you three exiled, FOR DESICRATING OUR PEOPLE'S SACRED HOLIDAY, WITH, PONY STUFF, AND-"
 * ???: "Excuse me, Count?"
 * Count Troy instintly turned into a scared chicken and saw Ambassitor Gennu and a male and female duo of servents.
 * Ambassitor Gennu: "..... Though I agree we will have to phase-out the useage of pony items in favor of holiday approbeate trinkits, I for one welcome the change. Troy, we live in times where we MUST get other nationalies to see our people BEYOND our overt-love of wealth and not always steller social cabailities. And, I think upgrading our traditions is the best way to do this. And be warned that I have Cedric's ear, and he WILL listen to me over you, Troy. Now, kindly, leave my nefpew, and the two she-griffs, alone."
 * Count Troy Diction cowerdly slinked away from the forceful Gennu.
 * Ambassitor Gennu: "...... Gallus, it is indeed great to note that the School has a more positive effect on you then even what I had imagined. Improving the Blue Moon Festival is indeed an impourent step amongst many to improve Griffin Attatudes. It'll take time to further refine this needed improvement so not to infringe on the Ponies' holiday, but, as it is as a demo to things to come, it is largely appresiated. Now come, fellow Griffins! Let us enjoy ourselves!"
 * The Griffins cheered at this!
 * The Flashback shows a final shot of the Griffins enjoying themselves, where even Troy would eventually slowly come around and partake in the festivities himself.
 * Gallus: "Eventually, even Troy came around and pretty much agreed that the Blue Moon Festival, needed a change. Thus, it was how I changed The Blue Moon Festival."
 * Polarity: "Oh that is SUCH a good story! It was a kind thing of you to improve the Griffin's holiday to help their attatude adjustments."
 * Smolder: "Oh, speaking of Attatude adjustment, you should hear how me and Quartz stopped a personal rival of hers from making dragons into even bigger dicks to ponies then already."
 * Smolder and Quartz were seen flying about and messing around as Ember wasn't far behind, as a troupe of dragon elders were seen at the center of a huge dragon celebration that is the feast of fire.
 * A stronger elder dragon was seen present at the midst of the troupe.
 * Stronger Elder Dragon: "My fellow dragons, from all across the lands. Once again, another year migrates away for a new to hatch. And once more, the Feast of Fire, has returned?! (Dragons cheer and hoot) And now, I, Elder Sore Eyes, as always, am here to present, (Servent Drakes arrive with a glorifived Torch with a mystic blue flame). The Torche, of, STORIES?!"
 * The Dragons applauded!
 * Elder Sore Eyes: "And, as usual, as per the festival, who ever tells the best story to the torche, and make it ablaze in red majusty, WINS THE HOARD?! (Shows a very large pile of gems and treasure as dragons marveled at that.) BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, There's a catch. The Torche Barer, will grant, a theme for the stories to be centered around on. The best story made AROUND that theme, makes the flame blaze! Sucky stories, the torche goes (Rasberries). And if the torche goes out on a shit story, you'll have to add your personal hoard to the winner's pile! We clear?"
 * The Dragons huzzah to that!
 * Elder Sore Eyes: "Good. Now, it's the matter of selecting the torche barer. As you know, the Torche Barer is a time honored, and respected, tradition. It is granted to only, the toughest, roughest, gruffest, and meanest dragon in all the dragon lands...... But for simplesitiy's sake, and cause Dragons are appearing to lose their luster cause of being nice to ponies, (Barry was seen hugging a pellow)...... Among other things, I desided to skip the fillery bullcrap of the ritualistic choosy shit and just pick one out of two canidates.... The mighty and strong Vemita of the Hoodscales clan?! (The dragons cheered at the appearing Vemita and her possie)...... Or my wimpy son Bright Eyes. (A skinny nerdy dragon with glasses was seen as a comical "Hurray" was heard)...... Fuck it, that desides it. Vemita is Torche holder."
 * Smolder/Quartz: "WHAT?!"
 * Vemita: YES!!! Hey pokey, you chokey, you really failed yo dukey, you never going to mess with mah scaly kabooty!! (Moons Smolder and Quartz)
 * Quartz: Oh that's just cold.
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: Please don't push it, Vemita.
 * Smolder: "Why did you pick HER, over your son?"
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: "Well hey, you heard the crowd. Vemita is a popular exsample of what dragons SHOULD be. Also, look how frail my kid is, he doesn't even look like he would be able to hold the freaking torch without his everything breaking. Even if the fire wasn't lit."
 * Vemita: "Also, I'm one of the toughest and strongest dragon there is! So much so, that I would've OVER-QUILIFY as Dragon Lord!"
 * Ember: "Then WHY weren't you there to compete for the title like the others?"
 * Vemita: "Being part snake can backfire on you."
 * Vemita's shedded skin was seen glowing as Vemita was forced to hide in a hole whilist saying "Ow" cause of her sensitive skin.
 * Ember: "....... That, was WAY too much info."
 * Vemita: "But hey, at the least, (Was given the torch) I was given the torch. And by the torch, I hereby declair, that the theme of the stories to be told, is to be about...... PONIES SUCKING!?"
 * Ember: "(Quietly) Oh crap no."
 * Dumb Dragon: "Sucking on what, exactly?"
 * Zmarts: "...... She means sucking as in terrorable and lousy, dumbasses!"
 * Dragon Crowds: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
 * Ember: "Now hold on a minute, I-"
 * Elder Eye-Sore: "I know what yer going to say, Dragon Lord, and I get it, we should try to be nicer to ponies...... However, you didn't say that we shouldn't talk s*** about them when they're not around. And hey, let's remember that the Feast of Fire's traditions, includng the Torch, is to be respected by even Dragon Lords. Also, you already made us be nice to ponies all year around. I think we deserve a holiday off from that s***."
 * Ember: "Don't you think these stories will risk dragons maintaining a bad idea for ponies?"
 * Elder Eye-Sore: "Oh relax, we'll often be telling stories we make up anyway. Any cowindienetal simularities to real ponies, whether living or dead, is cowinidental. Now quit being a Bramber Grump and start enjoying yourself."
 * Ember: "..... Excuse me, for a moment? (Drags Smoulder and Quartz off)."
 * Ember: "Vemita is LITTERALLY the most ill-picked Torch Bearer, ever?!"
 * Smolder: "And it shows when the theme of the stories is smack-talking ponies. I mean, I can understand wanting a break to something we're still not use too, but I think this is pushing it."
 * Quartz: "We need to disqualify Vemita."
 * Smolder: "The only other choice was Eye-Sore's kid, and you saw how only ONE dude cheered for him and how everyone LIKED Vemita."
 * Quartz: "But why?! She's a jerk?!"
 * Smolder: "Okay, try to take off the pony goggles and look at it as a dragon. Let's remember that dragons are all about toughness, being strong and fierce, and taking s*** from nobody. Vemita, is all that cracked to eleven. Why WOULDN'T dragons like her?"
 * Quartz: "..... I see your point. Well, we still need to prevent Dragons from being encouraged to being mean to ponies again, cause, even if the stories are made-up, that could lead to dragons having false impressions."
 * Smolder: "Well it ain't like Bright-Eyes is better. He likely has a rough opinion on ponies as everyone else."
 * Quartz: "Can you know that for sure?"
 * Smolder: ".... Okay, maybe not TOO rough, but I imagine that he WANTS to look good for his dad."
 * Ember looked as if she had an idea.....
 * Ember: "..... Then how's about we go talk to him."
 * Bright Eyes sat at the edge of a pool bitterly.
 * Bright Eyes: "I can't believe nobody other then mom cheered for me. Am I really that big of a loser?"
 * A passing Lava Serpent: "Eh, you could've looked better in my opinion. (Leaves)."
 * Smolder and Quartz arrived.
 * Bright Eyes: ".... Oh, hey Smolder, Quartz. Listen, I desided to not attend the feast of fire, I don't want to be a lingering embarrisment to dad."
 * Smolder: "Actselly, we're here to help you out."
 * Bright Eyes: "...... With, what exactly?"
 * Smolder:... You should challenge Vemita to a duel.
 * Bright Eyes:... You're serious?
 * Smolder: How NOT serious do I look?
 * Bright Eyes: But, butbutbut, look at me! I'm just not built for it.
 * Quartz: And why not? I mean, aren't dragons supposed to be built for it?
 * Bright Eyes: Not everydragon has to be tough by brawns. Some like me prefer to do it by smarts. Did you think my name is Bright Eyes because my eyes glow in the dark?
 * Smolder: Well it was just a thought.
 * Bright Eyes: Well I survive because I know a lot about the world. My molt effect wasn't the worst I suffered as a kid. The worst was the traditional migration in which dragons travel the globe to find new dragons....
 * (Bright Eyes): When I was migrating, it was a time of chaos. The Storm Clan had been searching for dragons to use as slaves. Their 'Bestiary King' was VERY obsessed with drafting dangerous beasts from all over the world into the clan. I was captured and surrounded by dragons too feral to speak to. (Dragons in cages were seen acting animalistic) Though we would be freed by a guy calling himself 'Scorpan' or whatever, I was horrified by the experience. So, I figured I stay clear of physical combat and instead use my head.
 * Bright Eyes: Instead of focusing on my brawns, I instead focused on my mind.
 * Smolder:... Well no WONDER you're so scrawny, boy.
 * Quartz: Yeah, that must've been rough.
 * Bright Eyes: Understatement. IT WAS PLAIN F****D UP!!! So many dragons in cages that lost their minds to slavery as attack creatures. Can you imagine how traumatic that can be for me at that age?
 * Smolder: Well the Storm Clan had done worse. But yeah, it WAS plain f****d up. Well that's going to change right now. You need to be whipped into shape.
 * Bright Eyes: But won't that take months?
 * Smolder: Normally yes. But there is one dragon that HAS helped dragons like you. Have you heard of Knuckerbocker?
 * Bright Eyes:... THE Knuckerbocker? But... He's been dead for over a century.
 * Smolder:... Actually he's alive. Since he helped Daring Do find that immortality flower, he has been acknowledged again. And he has helped dragons like you in his time. And he has done it quicker than expected. Maybe he can do it again.
 * ???: I don't think so. (Vemita and her friends arrived)
 * Smolder: VEMITA!!! What nerve have you got to stalk us?
 * Vemita: Oh, I couldn't help overhearing you planned to get me disqualified. Well that's not going to happen. I've worked too hard to get that torch. Ever since I missed the Gauntlet, I am not going to let another chance to show my stuff be ruined. You're not going to that Knuckerbocker.
 * Quartz: And who's going to stop us? You?
 * Vemita: Yes actually. If you think about doing this, I'm going to tell Sore-Eyes you got me disqualified out of jealousy, and you will be disgraced.
 * Smolder:... HOW DARE YOU BLACKMAIL US?!?
 * Vemita: I can do what I want. You don't know what it's like to have no greatness in your name and you miss out in the one-time opportunity because of some gross molt. That's why I rigged the whole feast.
 * All Three: YOU WHAT?!?
 * Vemita: Yeah. I had to. Nodragon would ever allow me this if I hadn't. This is the only way to get a name for myself.
 * Smolder: You bastard, this is conspiracy! Wait until we tell Sore-Eyes!
 * Vemita: Oh, please, they'll NEVER believe you. You'll just make my blackmail a reality by unintentionally showing you're jealous of me.
 * Smolder: YOU DAUGHTER OF A SLUT!!!
 * Vemita: HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY MOTHER?!? She had half the toughness in your entire body in her little finger, you disgraceful lizard with wings!!
 * Smolder: Which one?
 * Vemita:......
 * Quartz: Oh, forgot to mention she's an orphan who's very sensitive about that.
 * Smolder: NOW you tell me!
 * Sore-Eyes: (The three were kicked out of the feast) YOU THREE ARE FOREVER BANNED FROM THE FEAST!!!! I've never seen such disgrace.
 * Ember: Sore-Eyes!!
 * Sore-Eyes: Silence! You may be Dragon Lord, but you have a lot to learn for your age, young lady. (They left with Ember looking sadly)
 * Ember:... Go find him. (She left)
 * Smolder: THAT WHORE!!!! (The two pin her down)
 * Quartz: SMOLDER NO!!!
 * Smolder: I'LL KILL HER!!! I'LL F*****G KILL HER!!!
 * Quartz: You can't!! Violence is only going to make it worse.
 * Smolder: WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP ME FROM GETTING TO A NERVE I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO?!? THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!
 * Quartz: GIVE ME A BREAK, I THOUGHT YOU KNEW HER TOO WELL!!
 * Smolder: WELL I DIDN'T, AND THANKS TO YOU JUST KEEPING YOUR SILENCE, WE'VE BEEN BANNED FROM THE FEAST!!! DID YOU NOT TELL ME ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED OF HER?!? WERE YOU AFRAID SHE'D RIP OUT YOUR TONGUE IF YOU TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT HER?!?
 * Quartz: NO!!!
 * Smolder: THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HER SINCE YOU CAME TO THE STINKING SCHOOL?!? (Quartz was silent)... I knew it. YOU'RE A COWARD, JUST LIKE BRIGHT EYES!!!
 * Quartz: I AM NOT A COWARD!!! I DID A LOT TO SAVE MY FRIENDS!!!
 * Smolder: OH BULLS***, YOU WERE JUST HIDING YOUR FEAR THIS WHOLE TIME!!! A coward like you doesn't deserve to be in the school, nor does she deserve friends like us!
 * Quartz:...
 * Smolder:... I, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-
 * Quartz: You want to know why I stayed silent about Vemita? Because I thought my friends would be there to help me get the courage to stand up to her. I told you why I don't fit in with other dragons, didn't I? This is why! Is THIS because you're scared of being in MY footprints? The 'cute' footprints? The footprints of A DRAGON IN A DRESS?!? You're no better, you know. You sure brought me back to insecurity because you're just like all the dragons that wanted nothing to do with me INCLUDING Vemita. You're definitely right. I don't deserve you. Sure makes dealing with Vemita a lot easier when I'm not around, doesn't it? (Flies away crying)
 * Smolder: QUARTZ, WAIT!!......
 * Bright Eyes:... Yeah, not your wisest decision.
 * Smolder: Oh shut up and skip to the part where you're supposed to help me here?
 * Bright Eyes: But aren't you supposed to be helping me? Ember said we should go find Knuckerbocker.
 * Smolder: BUT I CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT QUARTZ!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Well maybe you should've thought of that when you insulted her!!
 * Smolder: WE'RE DRAGONS, STUPID!!!! INSULTING EACH OTHER IS IN OUR NATURE!!!! CAN YOU JUST GET WITH THE PROGRAM ALREADY?!? Ugggh!! Some holiday this turned out to be.
 * Bright Eyes: Well what are we supposed to do?
 * Smolder:... (Sighs) I've got to make it up to her. Tell you what, Bright Eyes, how about we scratch each other's backs? We help each other?
 * Bright Eyes: How?
 * Smolder: I help you get the strength to challenge Vem, and you help me out... By finding Quartz' two pony friends.
 * Bright Eyes: "Well, okay, but it might not be easy, cause, I don't think even Quartz knows the names of those two."
 * Smolder: "..... But I think there's someone who does. Come on, Bright Eyes, we're going to pay the Namescale a visit."
 * Bright Eyes: "The NAMESCALE?! An omnipotent elder dragon that knows the names of all creatures? But he lives in Sulfer Island, residing only in a volcano with lava too hot for even dragons! There's also Sulfer Snapping Turtles there, and they're pretty nasty predators!"
 * Smolder: Dude, the first step in helping us and yourself out is to meet the danger instead of taking a shortcut around it. A true dragon never takes the easy way around.
 * Bright Eyes: Famous last words. I prefer playing it safe. You know what they say. Safety is sexy.
 * Smolder:... Who the hell says that?
 * (MSM): My sister. (This played)
 * Bright Eyes:... Who was that?
 * Smolder: Never mind. Do you want us to help you or not?
 * Bright Eyes: Yeah.
 * Smolder: Then you need to act like a REAL dragon and suck it up. Nut up. Go with the flow. Role with it. Just face the music-
 * Bright Eyes: Okay, I get it, let's just go.
 * Smolder: That's the spirit. (They flew off)
 * (Smolder): So we flew for hours. Though we would find... Roadblocks.
 * Smolder: (They were in an icy wasteland) Curse this seasonal storm. (They approach a pool)... (Something like this happened)
 * Bright Eyes:... What do we do now?
 * Sentient Large Snowflake: You must find the keystone to the gates of Sulfur Island.
 * Smolder: Uh, who are you?
 * Snowflake: I am the Great Snowflake of the Hearth created by the Alicorn goddess of gifts Queen Gratuity. To find the keystone, you must swim 3 miles across the Mystic Lake to the Isle of Many Quests. There you will find-
 * Smolder: I'M SICK OF THIS S***!!! OKAY, I AM NOT SWIMMING ACROSS THE FREEZING WATER TO THE ISLE OF TOTAL HORSES***, BECAUSE EVEN IF WE CAN F*****G FLY, WE'RE LOW ON TIME!!!! NOW GIMME THE F*****G KEY BEFORE I MELT YOU WITH MY BREATH!!!!
 * Snowflake: Okay, okay, I have a spare keystone right here!
 * Smolder: Gimme that! (He does that)
 * Snowflake: Geez, relax, man!
 * Smolder: YOU RELAX!! AND I'M A GIRL!!
 * Snowflake: Look, if anycreature asks, say you solved my riddles three.
 * Smolder: THAT'S THE S*** I'M TALKING ABOUT, SHUT THE F*** UP!!!
 * Snowflake: Look, don't hurt me, man! I've got twins waiting at home!
 * Smolder: That's a lie, no two of you are alike!!
 * Bright Eyes: Geez, Smolder-
 * Smolder: OH, SORRY WHA?!
 * Bright Eyes: NOTHING, GOOD JOB, I WANNA LIVE!!!!!
 * The duo leave.
 * Snowflake: "..... Welp, guess I may as well tell the folks of the isles that they may have to wait for another set of wayword adventurers.... Again. Ya know, maybe we should consider moving to a location that's less inconvinent to travel too. By the Alicorn of Quests, I hate my job."
 * (Smolder): So after that pointless garbage, we finally made it to Sulfur Island. (They saw several steam geysers)
 * Bright Eyes: Oh crap.
 * Smolder: Oh it's just a little hot water and steam, how bad could it be? (A bird flew in and was cartoonishly turned into a tiny chicken by the steam).
 * (Gaster): "Well that's not safe for Fluttershy."
 * (Quartz): "Don't worry, this is a cartoon, as the Lougers would say. The bird would recover off-camera."
 * Bright Eyes:...... I just did something involuntary... And messy.
 * Smolder: Please. Dragons conquer the elements all the time. We have extremophilic bacteria living in our guts.
 * Bright Eyes: Eckh!
 * Smolder: Oh, it's not as harmful as a disease. It's just as vital as E. coli in your bowels. That kind of symbiosis was a stepping stone to turn a normal lizard into a full-fledged dragon. Evolution is gross in some ways. Now come on, we need to find Namescale.
 * Bright Eyes: "He lives in the volcano. But we have to remember that it's lava is unbareable to even dragons. Namescale is only able to live there because he's from a spieces that EATS sulfer, it's why he's even here!"
 * Smolder: "No prob. Then clearly that volcano has a volcano cave for us to enter for him to even live here. Just a matter of finding an enterence."
 * Smolder and Bright Eyes go forth, as unknown to them, the sulfer ground shifted with a large shell like structure.
 * Bright Eyes:... Smolder? You think these shell things are the Sulfur Snapping Turtles you talked about?
 * Smolder: Oh, yeah. But they can actually discard their shells. But just try not to wake them up- (Something like this happened)
 * Smolder: (Twig snap)... (Bubble wrap popping) What the f-... (Horn honk) WHY-... (A rat yelps with it's tail being stepped on) URRRRGH!!!... (Steps on a clam that snapped her foot) DYYAAAAAAHHH!!!! (The Snapping Turtles woke up and towered the two)... Seriously, who leaves that garbage lying around?
 * Bright Eyes: Maybe those guys? (Shows her the skeletons of dragon jesters)
 * Smolder:... I'm not even going to ask. (The Snapping Turtles roar and waddled after them with Triceratops legs) We'd better hide. Trust me, these things are relentless and not the least bit slow.
 * Bright Eyes: Or maybe we should FLY! (Does that)
 * Smolder: Wait! (The Snapping Turtles fire globs of adhesive slime that caught Bright Eyes and restrained him as he fell unable to get out)... I was gonna warn that these things can shoot goop that sticks to dragons like ticks on a deer. (Bright Eyes was phathicly trying to get the goop off but fails) See, THIS is why dragons need strength- (She was restrained as well) DAMMIT!!! (They were at the mercy of the Snapping Turtles) If you skulks eat us, it'll send a bad message. (They roared)
 * Bright Eyes: UGH, SMELLS LIKE SULFUR!!!
 * Smolder: NO S***!!! THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED SULFER SNAPPING TURTLES?! (The creatures got ready to eat them until a loud roar was heard from behind chasing the turtles away)
 * ???:... You kids okay? (A large reptilian hand freed them)
 * Bright Eyes: Well NOW we are. So... Are you... Namescale?
 * Namescale: (Was a giant dark-red dragon with orange crests) If memory serves me well, and it does, then yes. Glad you could meet me, Smolder and Bright Eyes.
 * Bright Eyes:... How do you even know everyone anyway?
 * Namescale: Elderly age, sagacious intuition, millennial travels... And magical eyes that tell me everything through contact.
 * Bright Eyes: Eh, I guess that makes sense.
 * Namescale: Come with me. (He flew into the volcano and let them down as glowing firefly-like bugs flew and magma peppers grew)... This volcano is pretty temperate all year round. Even the lavaflies like it here. Just be careful. They burn. (The lavaflies spray lava like a bombardier beetle)... Care for a magma pepper burrito? (Shows it to them)
 * Smolder: I'll pass.
 * Bright Eyes: Me too.
 * Namescale: Suit yourself. (Eats it) AAAOOOHH, THAT'S THAT GOOD S***!!! (Shivers then accidentally farts fire) UGGH! Hate it when they give me gas.
 * (Gallus): "So much for this guy being graceful."
 * (Smolder): "That's dragons for ya. We're not exactly known for our class."
 * Namescale: Suddenly I don't blame you kids for not being interested, they taste great going it, but the process of leaving is BRUTAL! That gives you the worst case of hemorrhoids.
 * Bright Eyes: Ecckh, the smell isn't any better.
 * Namescale: Well in the worst cases the gas is... The flammable kind.
 * Smolder: What do you mea- (They were cartoonishly scorched)...... Ouch.
 * Bright Eyes: Gross.
 * Namescale: Hey, can't be helped that sulfuric dragons are a species too rare to understand. I'm the only one in miles. Now did you come here to judge me or what?
 * Smolder: Oh, uh... We want to know the names of the two pony friends of Quartz.
 * Namescale:... You mean Windy Torch, Sunny Bask, and Misty Tinder? Oh, those three have been lost for a while. Since they lost Quartz, they have moved away from home and got new lives. They're still adolescent though. Not much time has passed since they separated.
 * Smolder: Where are they?
 * Namescale: Kid, I only know names, I'm not much for knowing where people are. But if I can make a damn good guess, maybe you should check in with their former home in Vulcan Valley.
 * Bright Eyes: "Well, at least we're on the right track."
 * Smolder: Thank you, Namescale.
 * Namescale: Godspeed my friends, and Happy Holidays. Good luck with your problem. (They left)
 * Bright Eyes: So what is Vulcan Valley?
 * Smolder: It's the touching point of dragon and pony territory. It's separated by a strait. The ponies there are just as mean as dragons because of impressions from rogue dragon attacks since the first from the namesake dragon. Luckily the guy was beheaded by Pred 8 years ago.
 * This was heard while Pred beheaded Vulcan.
 * Smolder: They have his head mounted over it's mayor's office. And they drink dragon's blood which is actually an alcoholic beverage to ponies.
 * Bright Eyes: Wait, I thought ponies were vegetarians.
 * Smolder: Fun fact I learned from Buzzord once, there's tecnecally no true blue herbavores. He wouldn't believe half of the sick shit I saw. I wouldn't look at cows and deer the same way again. That being said, I guess it's a matter that creatures like ponies just consider plants easier to chow down to and evolutionairy traits and stuff like that. Though, admitingly, it is odd for those ponies to drink blood, as it's a complete anomaly for them to do so, even as alcohol. It is flammable after all. Maybe our blood has the hot stuff you find in peppers, and they got used to it, you got me. Either way, it's disgusting. They don't see eye-to-eye with dragons either. We're treated like wyrm droppings there, so I guess it's another chance to show your stuff and say you ain't going to take their manure. Besides, you're going to need it if we're going to get some information. When we get there, expect a very rough welcoming-
 * Smolder: (They were at the mercy of an angry mob of ponies)... Like That.
 * Pony #1: Well, well, well, what do we got here?
 * Pony #2: More flying lizards. Now, because your too young to finish off and place your small pints of blood in barely half a barrol, ya may as well git! We're good on the stuff anyway from last month alone?!
 * Smolder:... (Puts out one of their torches with a licked hand)... Lemme make something clear, mules... We're not here looking for trouble.
 * Pony #1: Well, yer' in the wrong place to NOT to. This ain't fillidelpia!
 * Smolder: Well too bad. I'm a student of the Princess of Friendship, (Some ponies got surprised by that), and this is not a very welcome welcoming committee.
 * Pony 3: "(Gets abit nervious)..... You're positive, you're not trying to scare us off yer case? (Smolder holds in a class photo of her and the other students with Twilight, her friends and the factily) OH SHIT, SHE'S SERIOUS MATES?!"
 * Smolder: Yeah. You guys, picked the wrong dragons to be dicks too. Espeically while an extra bitchy dragon is going to make dragons an even BIGGER problem for you jackasses unless WE can stop that! For beings that value the philosophy of friendship, you sure risk your heads by threatening me. (The ponies worry) So here's my words to you jackasses: Don't START no s***, won't BE no s***! Now SHOO!!!
 * Pony #1: (Snorts like a skeptical asshole to the worry of the others) Oh, sure, you're a student of the Princess of Friendship. Yeah, and I'm Santa Hooves.
 * Pony 4: "SERIOUSLY, SHE SHOWED US A PICTURE AND EVERYTHING?!"
 * Bright Eyes: Wait, I thought it was the Hearth Reindeer that did Santa's job here. Since when did ponies have a pony Santa?
 * Smolder: Ugh, dude, Santa Hooves isn't actselly a pony, he was a Hearth's Reindeer too, in fact a particularly speical one, but it's said he kinda vanish for reasons yet reckitnised. Now can we please just put the torches and pitchforks down?
 * Pony #1: No way no how. You're not fooling anypony.
 * Pony #3: Lahar, I don't think she's lying! AND FOR CRUD'S SAKE, SHE SHOWED A PHOTO?! HOW MUCH OF A MENTALLY DEAD-BRAIN DONKEY ARE YA TO NOT BELIEVE THAT?!
 * Pony #1 (Lahar): You're believing a dragon? Those are banishment words, Salt. And for all we know, that Photo could've been stolen and that she just so happens to look like ONE of those dragons on that picture!
 * Pony 5: "(Facehooves) You cannot be THIS stupid, Lahar."
 * Smolder: It's the truth.
 * Lahar: Prove it!
 * Smolder: "..... See this guy here? I'm helping him get tough enough so he can get the tougher dragon out of the Torch of Stories."
 * Lahar: "...... Okay, so, maybe she's one of the retarded "Nice" Dragons, BUT I AIN'T SOLD ON THE FRIENDSHIP STUDENT CRAP?!"
 * ???: "FOR CRAP'S SAKE, LAHAR, STOP BEING A JACKASS?!"
 * A short Mayor Pony with a cartoonishly large hat showed up.
 * Mayor: "If that dragon said she's with Sparkle, THEN SHE'S WITH SPARKLE!? NOW BACK OFF?!"
 * Lahar fearfully obeys the mayor and starts backing off.
 * Lahar: "(Wimpfully) Yes sir, sorry sir, won't happen again."
 * Mayor: ".... (Takes off hat to reveil an epick forehead burn mark) Please do pardon my dear Nefpew Lahar...... Boy's none too bright."
 * Smolder: "As proven when he scoffed at my class photo."
 * Lahar: "(Phathicly wimpfully) Ohhhh, so you ARE a friendship student?! That's really interesting!"
 * Bright Eyes: "Tch, yeesh, you're actselly being a bigger cowerd then I am, when you're around your uncle! Kinda like how I feel when- (Realises something)..... I'm around, dad..... (Sadden) I'm such a failure to him."
 * Mayor: "(Chuckles), Well sounds like you need to see Ol'Knockles, boy."
 * Bright Eyes: "You mean Knucklbroker?"
 * Mayor: "I call him Ol'Knockles for short. Kinda easier to pronounce without having to do tongue gymnastics to learn how to say the real name."
 * Smolder: "Anyway, Mayor, I need to ask. Did this town ever heard of a dragon named Quartz?"
 * Mayor: "..... Quartz? THE Quartz? The young dragonling that gave up the respect of her own kind to save one of ours?"
 * Lahar now feels really stupid......
 * Mayor: "Well why didn't ya just said so and not get idjits like my nefpew all worked up over nothing?"
 * Bright Eyes: "Wait, Quartz is, appresiated here? But I thought you guys hated dragons!?"
 * Mayor: "Hey now boy, there's a fineline between being prepared for a fight, and being flatout racists! We reckitnised nicer dragons around these parts..... It's just bad ones visit more often then good ones. That's why these folks acted as cautious as we did."
 * Bright Eyes: "WELL THEY DIDN'T NEED TO POINT PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES AT US?! (The mob tossed them away in embarrisment)."
 * Mayor: "Sorry about that. Our caution's like a well oiled machine. It does it's job TOO well sometimes..... Maybe that was why the good ones don't visit AS often."
 * Smolder: "Well, that, AND THE FACT YOU DRINK OUR BLOOD ALSO GAVE BAD IMPRESSIONS?!"
 * Pony 6: "I also think it could be why bad ones kept attacking, sir......"
 * Mayor: "..... I, think it's time for folks of Vulcan valley to, do some soul shearching.... Thanks for helping us realise that we strayed too far from our purer roots, even if likely by accsident."
 * Smolder: "Eh, may as well since we're here. Anyway, the three ponies Quartz saved. Ya know where they are?"
 * Mayor: "Good news, they kept closed togather. Bad news, well, rumors were cherned that they got captured by a Krampus that sells children and/or tweens as slaves in the Beast Market in a local Panan colony in the far east-southern of Equestria called Beastopia. A very obscured and rough place. Said to be a secret refugee city that're home of creatures trying to avoid getting the Storm Clan's attention ever since Pana's usurped by them."
 * (Gallus): "Yeah, I think we may need to tell Sparkle about that, one of these days."
 * (Ocellus) "And how."
 * Smolder: "So I guess that's where we need to go."
 * Mayor: "I have to warn ya, kids..... That city is under a grown paranoid tyrant king that lost himself to madness. He's been known to turn unwarrented visitors or those that disrespect him, into Obsidian statues. He does this with the Obsidian Glass Monicle, and turns people so by just giving them the stinkeye."
 * Bright Eyes: "That, sound needlessly excessive to stay secret."
 * Mayor: "Hence why the poor beast has became a paranoid tyrant."
 * Smolder: "..... If it's not too much to ask, but, I think me and Bright might need some help here."
 * Mayor: ".... Lucky for you, I know the older siblings of those youngins that more then want them back then anyone. Come with me, I'll show ya their usual hangout."
 * Smolder:... A treehouse?
 * Mayor: In a tree of Obsidian. It's a tree literally turned into obsidian during a Storm Clan attack and yet still remains as tough as a tree.
 * Bright Eyes: Wow.
 * ???: UGH, GO AWAY YOU C*** GOBLINS, I DON'T WANT ANYMORE OF YOUR ANNOYING CAROLS!!! GO CAROL TO SOMEPONY ELSE FOR ALL I CARE!!!
 * ??? 2: Ash, what're you doing?!
 * ???: Ugh, Caldera, I've already had a rough day! Please just let me handle it!!!
 * ??? 3: IS ASH YELLING AT CAROLERS AGAIN?! WILL HE EVER THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?
 * ???: STAY OUT OF THIS, GEYSER!!!
 * ??? 3: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A GEEZER?!?
 * ???: "I SAID GEYSER, NOT GEEZER?!"
 * Mayor: They... Didn't have a glamorous life since their siblings left.
 * Bright Eyes: "Kinda bleeding obvious."
 * Mayor: "Ahem. (To the treehouse) Come on down, ya'll. It's me, the mayor."
 * ???: OH GINGER SNAP!!! (A dark-reddish girl pony with orange hair and an ember cutie mark came out along with another female pony, orange this time, with blonde hair and a lava whirlpool cutie mark, and a whitish pony with partial baldness, blue hair with fire-colored stripes and a geyser cutie mark) SORRY, MAYOR COAL SEAM!!! I thought you were another group of carolers... (Sees the two)... Mayor..... How did these two managed to get all the way here without the town ripping them apart?
 * Caldera: Ash, sweetie, remember we got used to dragons.
 * Ash: Yeah, well, it doesn't make seeing one without having been beaten to a pulp any less discerning.
 * Bright Eyes: "(Quietly) Can't believe Quartz would ever befriend ponies related to a jerk like this. (Smolder shoves him)"
 * Smolder: So you're the siblings of Quartz' pony friends?
 * Caldera: That's us. I'm Caldera Tinder. These are Ash Torch and Geyser Bask.
 * Ash: It's a displeasure.
 * Mayor: Be nice, Ash. It's Hearth's Warming.
 * Ash: Well ya know what?! Let the Hearth's Reindeer see no reason to give me gifts today!? It's that Quartz kid's fault our siblings left.
 * Smolder: Really? You're going to blame Quartz for your siblings running away, who she saved from some dragon bitch and her goons that were messing with them like schoolyard bullies?
 * Ash:..... Okay, not, Quartz spefificly, though she BARELY even handled that c**t. But, the fact that she wasn't tough enough to keep her own dad at bay. Her father threatened to kill them! I swore to myself that if he showed his scaly mug to my property I'd snap his neck. It's monsters like him that give you guys a bad name.
 * Smolder: Whoa, let's not bring out words like 'monsters'. Dragons may be prickish, but that's only because we evolved to be an aggressive race for a reason. The world is a dark cruel place fraught with danger. Flight means you have to use it to it's strongest. In times of freezing and burning storms, we developed a way to keep in our body heat with a diet of the elements.
 * Bright Eyes: Not to mention extremophilic bacteria like the ones in those colored hot springs inside our guts-
 * Smolder: Oh shut up, those hot springs are relaxing. Dragons can thrive in more heat than any other reptile can possibly dream of. I'm surprised that somedragon as brainy as you knows so little about dragons.
 * Bright Eyes: "My knowledge is more based on learning exspearience, and, I was avoiding things that make "Proper" Dragons."
 * Smolder: Eh, fair point. Also, Spike has little knowledge of it too, because he was raised by ponies. But anyway, other things like our elemental breath are just from consuming magical crystals. It just started out with fire when we ate volatile rocks. We're so used to eating rocks and gems that ice is like a portable beverage to us. Bottom line, we're aggressive because we have to be.
 * Ash: Whatever. I'm sure the Mayor's nephew Lahar Gush gave you the idea that dragons aren't appreciated well here.
 * Smolder: "Albeit because he was actselly an idiot."
 * Ash: Probably. He's by far the only pony in Vulcan Valley that still loathes dragons.
 * Smolder: At least until his uncle showed up, then he backpeddled like a pansy.
 * Ash: "(Quietly and annoyed) Because of course he did!"
 * Smolder: Look, Lahar is not the topic here anyway. We're here to ask if you can help us find your siblings, cause if a rumor's anything to go by, they're likely slave bait to broken Panan refugees in a place called Beastopia?
 * Ash: Well it's still only a rumor.
 * Smolder: "Then we need help to find things that can either prove it or disprove it."
 * Ash:...... What's it to you? Why would dragons care about a couple of foals?
 * Bright Eyes: Well, we're trying to help me and Quartz out with a bully back in the Dragon Lands because SOMEDRAGON was very harsh to her for inadvertently getting us kicked out of the Feast of Fire.
 * Smolder: UGH, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!! HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW SHE WAS ORPHANED?!
 * Bright Eyes: I hardly call saying she didn't deserve her friends for withholding something about Vemita an accident.
 * Ash: WAIT!!!... Did you say... Vemita?
 * Smolder: "About twice, actually. She was the dragon bully that Quartz saved your siblings from."
 * Ash: It was HER?!... Son of a BITCH!!
 * Smolder: You know that skink?
 * Bright Eyes: (Sarcastically) Oh, hilarious wordplay. (Seriously) Also, I think she's already capable of recognizing the dragon that bullied her sibling!
 * Ash: She's MORE than that! Though f*** her for that all the same for doing that! She's Vulcan's great granddaughter!!
 * Smolder:... You're f*****g with us.
 * Ash: As if. Vemita teased us the most for being related to Quartz' friends. She hates us for taking her family after her grandfather and both parents tried to avenge Vulcan.
 * Bright Eyes: So THAT'S why she wanted a name for herself. She wanted to avenge her family. No doubt by being Dragon Lord. Well glad that molt came at such a miraculous coincidence, else she could've won!
 * Ash: Well you know what? We're DEFINITELY helping you.
 * Smolder: "Oh NOW you don't want to be a prick to us?"
 * Ash: "Hey, be glad I decided to be helpful at all! Don't be a choosy begger!"
 * Caldera: Ash?
 * Ash: Cal, honey, that dragon bitch is the reason behind our misery. She's why our siblings left. Quartz's d*** dad was an afterthought at best! I've always wanted to show dragons we won't take their bullying, and now's our chance.
 * Geyser: OUR chance?
 * Ash: Yeah, you both are coming. You're all I got, so if I go down, you both go down with me.
 * Bright Eyes:... Damn.
 * Smolder: That's the most dragon thing I've ever heard literally coming out of the horse's mouth. You, lady, have guts.
 * Ash: Don't flatter me. I'm just doing this for payback. We'll help you guys find Misty, Sunny, and Windy. But on the condition that you make Vemita suffer greatly!!
 * Smolder: "We cross the line of permanent damage, maiming, or death. And before you ask why I jump at that disclaimer, Friendship Student. Dragon violence is lost on me since Sparkle's very insistent on not being that extreme."
 * Ash: "...... Fair enough. Can you at least promise she'll get pariah status?"
 * Bright Eyes: "Well that largely depends on how Vemita will react to defeat, but, we'll, see what we can do."
 * Ash: "Well, an unsure promise is better than no deal."
 * Geyser: "Well, back on the topic of the rumor, we still say that it's a streach. On the basis that no pony has yet to prove Beastopia's existence. Also, considering where the kids were going, it's a bit of a strech for even a cold loving Krampus to travel that far."
 * Bright Eyes: "Well, where did they go?"
 * Caldera: "Well, based on their runaway notes, they wanted to run away to an Abyssinian refugee children sanctuary where they can feel safe. It's usually in a land a bit out of the way of known Dragon travel patterns due to being near a colder climate. Too cold for even your packed in body heat to protect you from. Particularly a ways from the Frozen Dragon Boneyards near Bleak Valley. If anyone should have an idea, it's them."
 * Smolder: "Well we're basicly exhausted from walking and flying to Namescale. Is there a faster way to get to that place."
 * Ash: "Tch. I know a guy."
 * A crazed unicorn was riding on a large Dragon Frog as the five were riding with them as it jumped across the areas every quickly!
 * Ash: "YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE CRAZY FROG RIDER PETE AND HIS CONVINENCE?!"
 * Smolder cheered excitedly!
 * Bright Eyes was wimpfully squealing!
 * Geyser: "That's, the first time I ever heard a dragon scream like a little girl."
 * Smolder: COME ON, BRIGHT EYES, LAUGH IN THE FACE OF DANGER WITH ME!!! (Laughs)
 * Pete: Hold your frog legs! (The Dragon Frog was offended) FROG legs, not DRAGON FROG legs! There's a difference. There's something here.
 * Smolder: Oh I'm sure it's just a raccoon.
 * Smolder: (They were attacked by an Odontotyrannus) THAT'S NOT A RACCOON!!!!
 * (Smolder): After dealing with that Odontotyrannus and after hearing Bright Eyes bitching about my comment of laughing in the face of danger for an hour straight, we made it to Bleak Valley. A former arctic land for Pans, the ancestors of the Panan Satyr between actual satyrs, now a land drenched in Panan ruins and occupied by some... Particular creatures. (Diminutive creatures similar to Grubber were seen)
 * Bright Eyes:... THESE are Abyssinians?
 * Ash: PYGMY Abyssinians to be exact. Better suited for intense conditions like snowstorms.
 * Miniature Dog: WATCH YOUR BACK, PORKY!!!
 * Black Miniature Pig: THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS, MUTT!!!
 * Diminutive Lizard Hermit: (Swipes a ring) MY PRECIIIIOOOOUUUUUSSSS!!!
 * Diminutive Fish Guy: GIMME BACK MY WEDDING RING!!!!
 * Miniature Frog: GRIIIIIIIIBIIIT!!!
 * Miniature Passerine: BRAAAAAAWWWWWWK!!!!
 * Bright Eyes: I'm annoyed.
 * Smolder: Me too.
 * Ash: Get in line. These guys are small, but you do NOT want to say that to their face-
 * Smolder: Well if calling these small fries what they are is a crime, then I must be in Wonderland. I'm sure they heard worse- (One of them hit her in the groin with a bag of bits) GAAH, SONOVABICH!!!
 * Ash: Told ya!
 * Smolder: YOU LITTLE GOBLIN!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Smolder, we want help, not trouble!!!
 * Caldera: Well we'd better get started.
 * Smolder: Well fine. Don't want to see these short-tempered guys aga- (Got hit in the groin with a bag of bits again) CRAP!!!
 * ???: "Fellas, fellas, stop! (The minitures stopped as an arctic fox leader came forth) These folks are obviously here to ask us sometime. Now, please let me handle this. (The Minitures ran off)...... (To group) I'm sorry about the minitures, they're still struggling with their animalistic behaviors. They were from the wilds of Abyssinia's arctic circle after all."
 * Ash: "Never mind them, lady. We need to ask. Did you by chance see three little foals here?"
 * Arctic Fox: "Why yes. I let them stay in the refugee sactuary for several weeks...... At least until that nasty Rumpus came and started to shake us down for rent again, or else he'll start taking the refugee children to sell as slaves..... Then, those three youngins, they stood him up. Rumpus took them in cages and quilifived them as rent payment, then, he took them back to Beastopia..... I was helpless to do anything about it, cause all I have were miniatures, he had orcs, trolls and ogres with him. That nasty krampus is never alone."
 * Geyser: "Oh s***, the rumor was right! They WERE kidnapped by a krampus!"
 * Ash: "But at least we know Beastopia is in the south eastern part of Equestria."
 * Arctic Fox: "You're planning on going to Beastopia? With that mad king they have? You'll risk being turned to obsidian! That king has became so afraid of a would-be Storm Clan attack that he distriusts all visiters, and his people became equilly afraid of them cause how upset he would be."
 * Ash: "We get that. But I ain't letting my sister be treated like a slave to a Krampus slaver."
 * Arctic Fox: ".... Well, if you must, then, I'll tell you who you'll need to see about getting inside ther safely. You need to find Francis Vole. A daring Naked Mole Rat that dared opened secret trade tunnel ways under Beastopia to be able to get trade items safely across the area. Just keep in mind though, he's VERY eccentric, very weird, and kinda lives in the moment of excitment, even dangerious ones."
 * Bright Eyes: "Well we still need to even FIND Beastopia before we can get to him!"
 * Arctic Fox: "These tunnels can extend to alot of Abyssinian locations.... Even this one. Come, I'll show you the tunnel for this place. (Leads the group)"
 * A Large Person-sized Earwig and a worm were seen stacking supplies.
 * Earwig: "Uh, Squirmson, are you sure we should be stacking the food like this?"
 * Worm (Squirmson): "Ahhhh, you worry to much, Wiggsy, these are very stable crates. (Stacks a very big crate on top of smaller crates).... See, nothing went- (The large crate squashed the smaller crates as food was launched allover the place, making a mess)...... Wrong."
 * Wiggsy: "(Facepalms as she sighs), Miss Ann Arctic is gonna kill us."
 * Squirmson: "Not unless, we blame this, on a dragon polar bear!"
 * Wiggsy: "And what would a dragon polar bear be doing in a supply room?"
 * Squirmson: "That's a good question. Let's work on that. First off, how would one get in?"
 * Wiggsy: "You're not being serious on this, are you?"
 * Squirmson: "I got it! It digged into our tunnel, came in, broke the crates and left! A full proof excuse!"
 * Wiggsy: "There's no way Miss Arctic would believe that!"
 * Squirmson: "Ahhhh, you worry too much Wiggsy, foxes being crafty creatures is just an animal kingdom myth, everyone knows that canines are actselly the stupidist animals in the world, (Wiggsy donned a concerned face) ESPEICALLY so to foxes. I mean, the unsentient varient jumps face first into snow to capture a little morsal, (Laughs as it was seen that a pouting Arctic Fox, A.K.A. Miss Arctic) I mean, what an undiginfived way to get lunch, am I right? (Laughs)...... (Notices Wiggsy' face)...... She's standing right behind me, isn't she?"
 * Miss Arctic: "(Deadpan) Thanks for the honest opinion, Squirmson."
 * Squirmson screamed like a bitch and hid behind Wiggsy!
 * Wiggsy: ".... Please don't be mad about the mess."
 * Miss Arctic: "No need, we're still good on the food that HASN'T been haphazardly stacked..... Besides, I kind need to ask you two to take some guests to the tunnels."
 * Squirmson: "Why?"
 * Smolder: We need to save some kids from a Krampus.
 * Wiggsy: (The two were shocked)... No.
 * Miss Arctic: Beg your pardon?
 * Squirmson: With all due respect, mam, we're doing your guests a favor refusing. A Krampus is the worst Panan holiday beast ever to exist! There's no freeing anyone that gets claim. Never mind a guy like Rumpus, never mind slaver Krampuses in general. He's even nastier then the expected standerds.
 * Bright Eyes: We have to do something. Maybe bargain or explain the situation?
 * Squirmson: RUBBISH!!! Nocreature bargains OR explains ANYTHING to a Krampus. NOCREATURE! That abomination is the reason we never celebrate Hearth's Warming.
 * Wiggsy: "THAT WAS TOO MUCH INFO, SQUIRMSON?!"
 * Squirmson: "..... Oops."
 * Miss Arctic:... Beg your pardon, times two?!
 * Wiggsy:... We've said too much.
 * Squirmson: "You folks are better off forgetting about those kids."
 * Miss Arctic: ABSOLUTELY NOT!! What do you mean it was the reason we you don't celebrate Hearth's Warming?
 * Squirmson: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!
 * Miss Arctic: Ugh, how DARE you talk to your boss like that?
 * Wiggsy: "Squirmson, please! What he meant to say, that it's private matters, madam. We-"
 * Squirmson: (Shoves Wiggsy aside) I DARE, BECAUSE IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!!!
 * Miss Arctic: WELL HIDING IT FROM ME ISN'T GOING TO HELP EITHER!!! EXPLAIN YOURSELVES RIGHT NOW OR I'M EXILING YOU!!!!
 * Squirmson:... (Sighs) Fine! But it's your funeral...... (Sighs)..... An entirely different Krampus was going around and taking kids away on holiday nights. Often, it was the spoiled brats, the little punks or the rotten he took. However.... One time, my little brother gotten into a bad fight with me because he got upset about me breaking that stupid model rocket of his, and he broke my entire model sets as retailiation...... That night, that krampus, who went by as Humpus, broke in and took my brother from me and disappeared as quickly as he came.... He was never found when he stopped since. That's because Wiggsy was the one who got away."
 * Wiggsy: "I got lucky and clipped one of his horns off with my, butt-pincher, thing..... He was afraid of getting caught and arrested afterwords, so, he vanished from where he came from, took the kids he had, and vanished without a trace..... Our love for the holidays, kinda crumbled from that....."
 * Smolder: "..... So that's it? You two lugnuts are gonna let fear rule you because of what an unrelated guy did?"
 * Squirmson: "Hey, you don't know what a Krampus looks like?!"
 * Smolder: "Tecnecally, I do. Professor Buzzord once taught us about holiday legends. A Krampus, or at leasts, ones that exist outside of our world, are basicly devil santas. The Spiracle taught us about an entire race of them. They're basicly Armasti/Panan Off-Shoots with extremely bad hapits of going after kids, often bad-mannored ones, and turn them into slave labor. They're considered the biggest shames of Panan culture."
 * Squirmson: "..... Ya do know of them? And yet, that doesn't, terrafy you?"
 * Smolder: "I knew Rocs, the birds, by the way, that're scarier then abunch of goatmen."
 * Wiggsy: "..... Actselly..... Now that I think about it..... I did managed to nail one in the horns..... Oh, Squirm, what in Tartarus are we doing being afraid?! Don't ya think now's a perfect time to get even?!"
 * Squirmson: "Wiggsy, Rumpus ain't like Humpus, he's a fairly strong and confident Krampus, and he has ties to the Mad King, messing with Rumpus may as well be like messing with the Mad King!"
 * Bright Eyes: "Is this king really that bad?"
 * Wiggsy: Imagine the Storm King if he was bigger, was as insane as a Draconequus, was a scrooge, and was near-God levels of power. That... Is only child's play to the king.
 * Smolder:... Aww, f***, why'd we have to be roped in another mixup like this?
 * Bright Eyes: I know. Look, let's just go anyway. Do you even know that the only thing that can stop a Krampus is a copper pot?
 * Wiggsy: "Well, it was..... Kinda how I managed to snip his horn off. He ended up steping on one and somehow it burned his hoof. The pot wasn't cooked on recently at the time."
 * Smolder: Yeah and you can apparently trap the entire race into it.... At least that's what Spiracle theorizes. Hopefully we can have them beat in a flash.
 * Squirmson: (Finally gives in sighing), I hope so. We want JUSTICE against those bastards for what they took. Just come on and we can bring you to Vole.
 * Smolder: That's what I'm talking about. So, um... You got a copper pot?
 * Squirmson: Those three tykes had the only one and Rumpus made sure his followers hid the pot somewhere it couldn't be found.
 * Smolder: Well we'll f*****g find it. We don't want those hornheads messing holidays up again. (They left)
 * (Smolder): So it took some time getting to the underground of Beastopia. Francis wasn't exactly hard to find either. (A Grubber-style naked mole rat appeared)
 * Francis: (Coughs extremely comically)
 * Smolder: You going to live?
 * Francis: OF COURSE I AM, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!!!! Uggh! This is just inhaling a little bit of dirt. So, you guys need safe passage into Beastopia? It's actually a business to run the underground railroad to help 'smuggle' outsiders into the place. (As they were secretly watched by Garbage and Pail, of which the two managed to keep secret dispite their clumsy nature) The King tore so much of his hair off trying to find us.
 * Bright Eyes: Ouch.
 * Francis: Yeah. Ouch. He's basicly balder then a Baboon Goblin's butt now. And twice as funny to look at.
 * Smolder: "(Snorts a chuckle), We'll take your word for it."
 * Francis: Yeah, we're THAT good of pulling fast ones on the king. Even his two sons Itch and Scrap would never find us. It's a miracle you guys will never meet them. King Therium and his sons sound like they belong in a cartoon made by someone that got high.
 * King Therium: (Was a yeti creature with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Robotnik voice) YOU BLASTED LOSERS!!! YOU'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT A DISAPPOINTMENT FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!
 * Itch: (Tall yeti with voice of Scratch) I TOLD YOU YOUR HAIR-BRAINED SCHEME WOULD FLOP!!!
 * Scrap: (A plump yeti with voice of Grounder) OH SHUT UP, STYUPID!!!!
 * An annoyed adviser was seen banging his head torwords the wall of the sheer insanity of his king, and that of the stupidity of his two sons which further aggrevates him.
 * Francis: "I'm telling ya, the king as gone so mentally mad, and his sons are so incredabily stupid, that the adviser is litterally beating himself up for it. I wouldn't blame the poor bloke for plotting a usurp against the mad king, Therium unawareingly is becoming his own danger to the very place he's trying to protect."
 * Therium: IS IT REALLY SO HARD TO KILL THAT PESKY MOLE RAT?!? HIS ACTS HAVE MADE ME TEAR EVERY HAIR OFF MY BEAUTIFUL HEAD!!!
 * Scrap: Well we're still trying, father.
 * Itch: PLEASE, that's probably because of the concussions. They made ME persistent and they made YOU too dumb to quit.
 * Scrap: YOU WANT TO SAY THAT TO MY FACE, DINGLEBERRY?!? (The annoyed advisor had a crossbow on standby)
 * Francis: Didn't help that the concussions I accidentally gave his sons made them different people entirely.
 * Itch: WELL MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN AWAY IF YOU DIDN'T YELL OUT LIKE A DOG THAT NEEDS TO GO OUTSIDE AND S***!!!
 * Scrap: OR MAYBE IT WAS YOUR OBNOXIOUS VOICE THAT EVEN PARROTS WOULDN'T IMITATE!!! AND THEY SOUND ALMOST SIMILAR TO YOU!!!!
 * Itch: LICK MY CRACK!!!! (The advisor subjects himself to comedic slapstick in agony)
 * Francis: So, you should let me handle everything regarding your missing friends. Just be quiet, you don't want to alert the snow wyrms.
 * Smolder: AW COME OOOON!!! (Echoes as giant white worm dragons appeared)
 * Francis: Told you.
 * Smolder: OH F*** THIS!!! (Breaths in heavily and blasts fire that scattered the wyrms and accidentally melted up a wave of water that washed them off to their destination)... (Spits out water)
 * Francis: Well you're lucky that didn't get us noticed as much as it didn't kill us.
 * Smolder: Can we just move on?! We have s*** to do pronto. (They left as Garbage and Pail did the same thing)
 * (Silverstream): Well you guys were having an unlucky day.
 * (Smolder): YA THINK?!?
 * (Quartz): Wasn't great for me either. I was in a cave since you scolded me away. Then before I knew it, I WAS NABBED!!! (Slammerhino nabbed her and took her to Vemita)
 * Vemita: BOOGIDYBOO!!! (Quartz whizzes)
 * Slammerhino: AW COME ON, BABY, I JUST WASHED MY HANDS!!!!
 * Vemita: I couldn't help overhearing that you guys STILL planned to ruin me with Knuck.
 * Quartz: Who said that? Did we say that? We didn't say that.
 * Vemita: Well too bad. I worked so hard for this and I'll be f****d like hell if I let it be ruined again. I've sent Garbage and Pail to spy on your friends, or should I say, ex-friends, to make sure they don't get any distance. You have NO idea what I've been through to get here.
 * Zmarts: Yeah, you have no idea! She has to avenge her great grandfather Vulcan, her grandfather Volk, her mom and dad, she told your father about your pony friends, she sold them out to a Krampus, she even bullied their big siblings to be so hateful of dragons they'd never want to help them. (Vemita stared surprised at Zmarts)..... What?
 * Quartz:... WHAT?!?
 * Vemita:... (Got a comically angry expression and punched him very far in the distance) DAMN IT, ZMARTS, I THOUGHT YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE THE SMART ONE?! I THOUGHT MORONICY WAS GARBAGE AND PAIL'S THING?!
 * Quartz: YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!!!
 * Vemita: Hey, at least half of that you already knew before Zmarts got too uncharactisticly moronic! So what? What're you going to do about it? HUH?! (Punches her in the chest and into a rock wall as she cackles) That filthy Pred had decapitated one of my family's heads too many, and the entire valley must pay. And I WILL NOT BE BROUGHT DOWN AT MY CROWNING MOMENT BY SOME LITTLE PONY-LOVING BRAT OR SCRAWNY GIMP!!!! If I can't have a happy ending, neither can you. Boys? Make sure this little squirt is never found. (They took her away)
 * Gasser: "..... Seriously, Zmarts, what the f***, man? I thought you were the smartest of all of us?"
 * Zmarts: "I..... I don't know what came over me! It was like, I was pocessed by something. (Fu-Xi and Lady Cao were seen hidden) Like, I was under some kinda truth spell."
 * Ignitito: "Well ya just made yourself unsmart on that moment!"
 * Slammerhino: "Yeah. We can't trust your word on anything for being stupid."
 * Zmarts: "Guys, I swear, I wasn't being myself! (He was ignored as the duo went on)...... Something screwy's going on here."
 * Quartz: "Where are you creeps taking me?"
 * Slammerhino: "A place where you can't be found...... Now we need to just find this unfindable place and put you in it."
 * Zmarts facepalms on the utter stupidity.
 * Gasser: "Now, if I was an unfindable place, where would I be?"
 * Ignitito: "That's the brillientness, bro. It CAN'T be found."
 * Quartz gave a "Are you serious?" stare.
 * (Gallus): "Were these guys minus Zmarts REALLY that stupid enough to actselly try to find an unfindable place and end up holding onto you like jackasses?"
 * (Gaster): "And they seriously stopped listening to the only one of them with brains because he ended up being potaintionally pocessed to make a jackass of himself and blerted out the plan?"
 * (Quartz): "Yeah, it's obvious that outside of Zmarts, the others are all about brawn."
 * The Hidden Fu-Xi: "...... Mother, that chi-pocession trick worked like a charm. I made that smartass looke uncreditable to a group of idiots."
 * Lady Cao: "And it was impressive, dear."
 * Fu-Xi: "Now these chuckle-heads are ripe for my ambush surprise, so I can be able to rescue students of that Friendship School in the Lougers absince since they're doing their own thing since the Thanksgiving fiasco. Especially since I heard Po's caught up with the long awaited return of the Four Constelations' chi?! Can you seriously believe that CHILDREN became worthy of such powers?!"
 * Lady Cao: "Stranger things had happened, Fu-Xi."
 * Fu-Xi: "Now, it's all up to Fire, Rash and Teddie, and Squeakers-"
 * Lady Cao: "Mo Tong, dear."
 * Fu-Xi: "-To ready an ambush those euro-dragons will never forget."
 * (Gallus): "Also, any reason why Fu-Xi's here?"
 * (Quartz): "My best guess is that he basicly wanted to watch over the students of friendship as well with the Lougers caught up with something else at the time."
 * Fu-Xi: Let's hope we can simply keep up with Quartz.
 * Smolder:... So you're sure the coast is clear?
 * Francis: I know the King's moves like the back of my hand. Trust me, I have everything under control- (They were surrounded by forces) WHAT THE FRIG?!
 * Itch: FINALLY GOT'CHA, HAHAHAAA!!
 * Francis: GODS, SHADDAP!!!!
 * Smolder: You were saying?
 * Francis: I-I don't understand. How could they possibly know we were coming?!
 * Scrap: Let's just say some anonymous guys told us. We didn't really believe them, but son of a gun, they were right. These two sounded too stupid to believe. Really got us off guard.
 * Bright Eyes:... Ugh, Garbage and Pail! Vemita must've sent them to stop us.
 * Scrap: Now surrender quietly. In the name of King Therium, you're under arrest for harboring and smuggling outsiders.
 * Francis: I never surrender for anybody. Your father is a xenophobic tyrant.
 * Itch: TREASON!!! (They knock him and the others out)
 * (Smolder): So we were in a huge pickle because of those snitches.
 * The group were brought before the king.
 * Garbage: "See, we told yas! Those guys were coming in to f*** up yer s***."
 * Pail: "See, we were being honest, mate."
 * King Therium: "..... Well, at least you two were CREDITABLE idiots."
 * Garbage: "Welp, our good deed fer the day was done, so we'll just-"
 * King Therium: "HOWEVER, (Adjust the Obsidian Monicle), I can't let anyone with knowledge of my secret city go away unscatched! Generious as you simpletons were, you're still outsiders?!"
 * Pail: "...... I TOLD YOU TELLING THIS GUY WAS A BAD IDEA, GARBAGE?!"
 * Garbage: "Uh, uh, it looked like the easier solution!"
 * Pail: "Well you f***** us over, you idio- (Therium gave the moronic duo the stink-eye in the monicle as the two screamed and turned to Obsidian)....."
 * King Therium: "..... Oh, they would look lovely in my collection..... (Looks at the group). And now there's you bunch."
 * Francis: YOU BASTARD!!! AFTER WHAT THEY DID FOR YOU, THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY THEM?!
 * King Therium: You know the rules, Vole.
 * Francis: " YOU KNOW THE RULES, VOLE !". That's you.
 * King Therium: "Hey, in my defence, they likely only helped me because they had their own goal in mind! They look like idiots that already serve a master. And I should know. (Looks at Itch and Scrap) (Deadpan) I birthed my own idiots."
 * Francis: And I don't question that. What I question is the ends being less justifyable then the means. This is why I did this. You just choose to ruin lives just because they're outsiders? If you ask me, Rumpus should've taken YOU instead of the ponies we're after.
 * King Therium: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!? I AM SIMPLY DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR MY PEOPLE!!!
 * Smolder: Tell that to Queen Novo. She thought the same thing, and in the end, it got her to leave another kingdom to the same menaces you both were victims of. You sir are making the same mistake on our people.
 * King Therium: And we are 100% OKAY WITH THAT!!
 * Smolder:......
 * (Silverstream): Ugh, dumbest coincidence ever.
 * Smolder: Dumbest coincidence ever. Fine. If you're going to risk your people's safety by putting others' in harm's way, then you're no better than the Storm Clan. You're going down.
 * King Therium: HOW DARE YOU?!? I WANT THESE OUTSIDERS EXECUTED!!!! I want to see their eyes as they are beheaded.
 * Bright Eyes: Wait, so Therium's the Mad King? I kinda thought this was an entirely different person.
 * Everyone was surprised by the brazenly stupid comment.
 * (Gallus): "..... Ya sure Bright Eyes was suppose to be a SMART Dragon?"
 * (Smolder): "Hey, he was smart in Dragon Standerds."
 * Francis: "(Flabbergasted) Why, why would you think that?"
 * Bright Eyes: "Well, it's just, "The Mad King" kinda sounds like a title, so-"
 * Francis: "HE ISN'T ACTSELLY CALLED "THE MAD KING" AS A TITLE, YOU DUMB NERD?! IT'S AN INSULT TO HIM!!!"
 * Bright Eyes: "Sorry, brainfart. It's just that, because the Storm Clan were doing a "Title" thing, I figured-"
 * Francis: "I STRESS AGAIN, WE CALLED HIM "MAD KING" AND TYRANT AS AN INSULT, YOU BLOODLY REPTILE?!"
 * Bright Eyes: "....... Oops."
 * King Therium:...... You die first.
 * Bright Eyes: "YIPE?!"
 * ???: SIIIIIR!!!! SIRSIRSIRSIRSIIIIR!!!! RUMPUS IS BACK!!!!
 * King Therium: SERIOUSLY, RIGHT NOW- TELL HIM THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME!!!
 * ???: I heard that. (A robed giant Krampus came in with orcs, trolls and orges) Hey, Beasty!
 * King Therium: E-E-E-E-YIPE!!!! RUMPUS!!!!
 * Rumpus: It's that time of the year again, and you know what that means. You owe me more no-gooders.
 * King Therium: UMUMUMUMUMUMUMUMUM-
 * Rumpus: Your mum's DEAD! We made sure of that. You know a Krampus never leaves without taking a naughty soul. Naughty souls make great slaves. Now pay up. Particularly those guys right there.
 * King Therium: Whoawhoawhoa, hold on, they're my business. I'm the one who's dealing with them.
 * Rumpus: According to who? You? You don't tell a Krampus what to do, your highness. You're in eternal annual debt to me, Therium, and if you don't pay up, I take others in payment. We both know you don't want that. So what'll it be? These guys or your people?
 * King Therium: GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHGH!!!!! SO CLOSE TO HAVING THIS PESKY VOLE PAY IN MY EYES!!!!
 * Rumpus: Oh believe me, your highness, it's what's best. You never could've gotten these guys if it wasn't for outsiders. Just goes to show how better outsiders are than you.
 * King Therium: YOU TAKE THAT BACK, FURBALL- Uh, sorry, I'm used to Francis saying stuff like that.
 * Rumpus: (Chuckles) You're really good for a laugh. Now if you'll excuse me... (Bounds them all with belled chains and puts them in a sack) Pleasure doing business with you, your highness. See you next year. (He disappeared with his followers)
 * King Therium:... F**************!!!!!!!! I HATE THAT GUY!!!!! HE JUST TOOK MY LONG-AWAITED MOMENT OF PICKING OFF THAT RAT!!!!
 * Scrap: Well you did get them with outside help, father. We wouldn't have done it ourselves.
 * King Therium: Care to correct yourself?
 * Scrap: Uhuh, at least like I said, those outsiders helping us didn't count.
 * King Therium: Well you two still deserve punishment for listening to outsiders. Time for a proper spanking.
 * (Smolder): And so, we were taken to a day in Kramp Town, an urban subsinerary of Beastopia. Basicly, the Krampus neightberhood.
 * Krampuses were seen dragging in children by droves.
 * Ash: ".... Okay, this, could've gone better, but, at least we're closer to finding our siblings."
 * Geyser: "TOO BAD IT'S WHILE WE'RE IN CHAINS, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, GIRL?!"
 * Bright Eyes: "Yeah, in no thanks to two dumbasses, what should've been an easy venture JUST became complicated?!"
 * Smolder: On the bright side, they got karmic justice. If they were watching, they would've taken into account outsiders aren't loved in Beastopia. Thank whatever Alicorn God they were dumb as bricks.
 * Rumpus: QUIET, SLAVES!!! (Grapple slaps them with the chains) You do not speak unless spoken to. As long as you're here, you belong to us. Now let us meet the king. And spoiler alert, the king of all Krampus is several times worse then that silly old "Mad King". He's the strongest of us all.
 * Ash: Guys, there they are! (The three ponies appeared almost the same age as in Quartz' flashback in Sore About Soaring doing slave labor) MISTY, WINDY, SUNNY!!! (They noticed them)
 * Rumpus: WE ALSO DO NOT TALK TO OTHER SLAVES!!! (Charged the chains with dark magic which shocked them) Break one more rule and-... Well quite frankly, you do not want to know the penalty. (They entered a dark Temple as they were in the presence of a larger Krampus with giant horns and a long giant robe) King Rampus! We have more for you.
 * King Rampus: (Aku-style voice) Excellent work, Rumpus. More ponies and dragons. We can never have too much of those. Though why did you bring some adults and older kids here? You know the younger ones are the better labor.
 * Rumpus: "My apologies, my king. These others are a complete package. I found them like this when Therium was about to get rough."
 * King Rampus: "Figures. Maybe the excess might be good for something. Take the kids to the slave driver and put the older ones in cages."
 * (Polarity): "Goodness, this isn't a particularly happy story!"
 * (Smolder): "Relax, Miss Sunshine, the good part's coming soon enough."
 * The group are placed in a holding cell as Rumpus is discussing with some slavers of who goes to who.
 * Smolder: Well, this is just great. The day was absolute hell!
 * Bright Eyes: You're telling me, I think I pulled a muscle today.
 * ???: PSSST!!! (The three ponies appeared in the vents as they followed)
 * Windy: Okay, we need to ask you two one thing:... Why the hell did you bring our siblings here?
 * Smolder: Long story short, we're friends of Quartz and we're here to save you.
 * Sunny:... You're serious? We are getting close to saving ourselves.
 * Misty: Yeah, you guys didn't need to come here. We just so happened to have found a copper pot from our slavery work that just so HAPPENED to be buried here long ago.
 * Smolder:... You mean to tell me three fillies like you have the guts to stand up to these beasts?
 * Sunny: F*** yeah. We would've taken care of these guys anyway. We just needed to light fire in the copper pot with magical embers in order to suck up all Krampuses inside. Buuuuuuut, since we have dragons here, we don't need to sneak far enough to find flammable magics. Dragon fire uses trace bits of magic and, though not much, is enough to start the spell.
 * Bright Eyes:... Our adventure feels like it gets longer and shorter every passing minute.
 * Smolder: I bet Icky would've made a crack about "This Series'" writing if he was here, whatever that means, Where is this copper pot of yours?
 * Misty: "Rumpus put it in a large box in his office."
 * Bright Eyes: "Well that's not so bad."
 * Sunny: "The hallway's crawling with orcs, trolls and orges."
 * Bright Eyes: "I really need to keep my mouth shut."
 * Smolder: Hey, you said we just needed to light it up with dragon's fire. We can just roast them and light up the pot.
 * Sunny: You could... If it wasn't for the fact that they have dragon slaves and therefore fireproof armor.
 * Smolder: F***!
 * Sunny: But we just need to light up the pot nonetheless. Just do it quickly without being spotted.
 * Smolder: Then let's just get to that box and burn it open.
 * Sunny: It's a locked metal and fireproof box.
 * Smolder: OH COME ON!!!
 * Windy: Mam, you can't just torch your way through everything.
 * Smolder: Well sorry, but we're short on time. We can't exactly waste it.
 * Windy: Well you COULD afford to grow some patience. Something dragons aren't really good at, but considering you came all this way to get us, you should be able to learn.
 * Sunny: Yeah, so just cool it. Let us handle the plan.
 * (Smolder): So it went pretty well all things considered. (Bright Eyes and Sunny lured the guards into chasing after them allowing the rest to pick open the lock, open the box, get the pot, and put in the embers)
 * Smolder: Goodbye, hornheaded c***s! (They were suddenly approached by Rampus, who picked them up along with the others)
 * Rampus: Veeery clever getting to Rumpus' office so quickly. But did you think I was this blind to ignore some missing slaves no doubt going for a copper pot in the middle of the night? Night is a Krampus' best friend. Most of us work best in the night.
 * Smolder: (Bites his hand as he screamed in pain and grabbed the pot away from their reach only for the pot to burn his hand as he threw it off, as Smolder caught it)
 * Rampus: (In slo-mo) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- (Smolder blew fire into the pot, igniting it with magic) NAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOO!!!!! (The entire Krampus race got sucked in as Rampus was sucked in the same way as the defeat of Red the Demon Cat) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- (Gets his head suck on the mouth of the pot for a bit)..... Oh, horse poopy! (He was gone)
 * Smolder:... Again, goodbye, hornheaded c***s, and may you never ruin the holidays again. (The slaves cheered) NOW LET'S ALL GET OUTTA HERE!!!
 * (Smolder): So as we left the ruins of Kramptown, and promptly kicked Therium's butt for being a doughe and cleaning up Beastopia in the process, (A Shot of Therium being slammed into his sons was seen), we and the ponies went off to Isles of Scaly to fill our side of the bargain to Bright Eyes.
 * Smolder:... Wow. Time was a bitch to this legendary island.
 * Bright Eyes: NO WAY!!! THE DICTATORIAL POOL!!! The sacred bathing site of the fiercest dragon warriors under Knuck's command. It's said their strength is washed within.
 * Smolder: Look, we just need to approach the guy subtly. We don't know what centuries have done to him- (Bright Eyes jumps in)... Dammit, Eyes!!
 * Ash: Hey, we need a refresher too. We've been traveling for hours. (They jump in)
 * Smolder: Guys we need to approach SUBTLY!!! (They played around comically) Guys!! (Bright Eyes spat water into Geyser's mouth as he gargled) Don't spit in his mouth! (Geyser spat it back) No, don't spit it back... Ugh, don't swallow it! (Bright did that) Really?
 * Bright Eyes: These guys have rubbed off on dragons, and our stomachs are powerful enough to kill common germs.
 * Smolder: Ugh, doesn't make it any less disgusting. (A moan was heard) Okay, pool is closed, come on!!! (They hid behind a rock as they saw a large red dragon come out of the cave wings spread wide)...... It's him. The legendary Knuckerbocker! (Dramatic League of Legends-style music played over him until it winded down comically as he urinated in the pool as the group paused disturbed).... Ohhhhhhhh.
 * Ash: Aw man!
 * Geyser: HUEGH!! Uurrrpp!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Eeeeeck!
 * Geyser: Nooono... EEEHECK!!!
 * Bright Eyes: ("I officially feel stupider.")
 * Geyser: (Brushed his teeth with a randomly-appearing toothbrush and bottle of soap)
 * Knuckerbocker: AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! (Stretches cartoonishly grotesquely and went back in the cave)
 * Smolder: Well not so much the Dictatorial Pool as it's more like the D*** Pool.
 * (Knuckerbocker): (Brooklyn accent) ALRIGHT, WHO'S THERE?! DID YOU JUST COME UP ON HERE TO LOOK AT ME LIKE PEEPING CREEPS, OR DID YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?!
 * Geyser:... WEIRD HOW YOU USE YOUR OLD ARMY'S POOL AS A TOILET!!! (Vomits)
 * Knuckerbocker's voice: "Oh give me a break?! The pool hasn't been used for it's intended purpose for many moons now! And hey, be glad that when I need to take a shit, I go into a nearby geyser and that piss is the worse thing to touch that pool! Yeesh, not even the dragon gods of old would be this pricky about this!"
 * Smolder: YEAH, UH, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
 * Knuckerbocker: Ugh! (He came out) Please be Daring Do! Haven't seen her since her Eternal Flower quest. (Landed in front of them)
 * Misty: Knuckerbocker!
 * Knuckerbocker:... Random ponies and dragons. And, my life is a disappointment, once more.
 * Ash: Funny. Look, we're-
 * Knuckerbocker: GOOD GODS, WHAT IS WRONG WITH SCRAWNY SCALES HERE?!?
 * Bright Eyes:... Me?
 * Knuckerbocker: "I mean, yeesh! If you guys are here because of him, then I do NOT f*****g blame ya!"
 * Smolder: "We are, actselly."
 * Knuckerbocker: "And again, don't blame ya! I mean, great dragon gods kid, why are you so scrawny?!"
 * Smolder: He doesn't use brawn to survive like most dragons. He's named Bright Eyes for a reason. I mean, aside from a few incidents, he prefers smarts.
 * Knuckerbocker: (Scoffs) Kid, brains are good, but the best way to survive is both brains AND brawns. Dragons can't live without em. Hell, I'm surprised your even still alive with a build like THAT! So either you still live with yer folks, or predators think you're too scrawny to eat.
 * Bright Eyes: "Mom still keeps me around, actselly."
 * Knuckernbocker: "Yup, it's diffenently the first. Though I'm still banking on out even a malnorished Roc would be satisfived from eating you."
 * Smolder: Well you don't exactly look like the legend you were yourself.
 * Knuckerbocker: Oh, don't I? (He shed his skin as rocky pieces and his true self was seen)
 * Ash:... That, had to hurt- (Knuckerbocker screamed comically) THERE it is.
 * Knuckerbocker: HOLY FIRES OF MAGMATACUS, MY NEW SKIN HUUUUUUUUUURTS!!!!!! AAAHHHGH!!! MUST, GET, OUT OF SUN- (Fell over) GRAAAAAAAAAHHGH!!!!!!
 * Misty: Ugh, let's just get this has-been in the cave.
 * (Smolder): I'M TELLING THE STORY HERE, FRENCHY!!!!
 * French Narrator: Par-don? Ooh, sorry. My mistake. Please, carry on.
 * (Smolder): Thank you! So, after we helped him out...
 * Knuckerbocker: Owowowow, owch!!! Dear Dragon Lord, I'm in the deeper levels of hell!!!
 * Sunny: Well so much for the legendary Knuckerbocker.
 * Knuckerbocker: Ahh shaddap, gal, legends never last!!! Ouch! AAAAHHGGGGHHHHH.... OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH... (Sobers up) So, scrawny, let's start with your workout. What do you need it for?
 * Smolder:... Pony Jesus!
 * Knuckerbocker: The heck's that?
 * Smolder: I don't know, these friends of ours keep saying it. But seriously, we've got this cobra dragon bitch that got us kicked out of the Feast of Fire because she's trying to cheat her way into some dumb vendetta against these ponies, and we want to get both this guy and another friend of ours to put that fiery hemorrhoid in her place.
 * Knuckerbocker: Hmm. The classic dragon duel. Ahh, I remember my first time. I fought this sexy dragon chick and we almost got married. Then life shat all over us and flushed her out like yesterday's supper. She got herself mauled by an ichneumon. Them overgrown weasels.
 * Bright Eyes: Ugh, I HATE ichneumons.
 * Knuckerbocker: But anyway, you want to tear her to bits? You gotta get the body. And we can do it in time for the Feast's climax.
 * Smolder: Well... I think you can handle it from here. I may wanna check up on Quartz. I can imagine the tear-driven pain she's going through.
 * Bright Eyes: You're not going to stay?
 * Smolder: Can't. Being a student of friendship has priorities. Friends need each other. I'm sure you guys can make it. See you in a jiffy. (Flies off)
 * Misty:... Rude.
 * Knuckerbocker: Oh, I'm sure she has equally important matters. Now let's get started- DYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHGHHHHH!!!!! MY SKIIIIIINNNN!!!! (The group groaned)
 * (Quartz): "And here's my part of the story."
 * Slammerhino, Gasser and Ignitito are still looking for a place to put Quartz in.
 * Zmarts: "........ YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN UNFINDABLE PLACE FOR HOURS ALREADY?! Look, why not, we just take her to the volcano, and put her in- (A fast force swiped Zmarts) YIPE?!"
 * Slammerhino: "Sorry, not listening because you acted uncharacteristicly stupid, Zmarts. (Looks at where Zmartz was and saw that he's gone)........ Uh, dude, where'd ya go?"
 * Fu-Xi: (From behind him) Right behind you. (Tail-slapped him into Sand head first, and smacked the back of the head hard enough to render him unconjustus!)
 * Mo Tong: OHH, YOU JUST GOT OWNED!!!
 * Gasser: "OH S*** MAN?!"
 * Ignitito: "We got this man! All we got to do, is-"
 * Fu-Xi began to rapidly spin around the two heads enough times as they ended up tied to eachother!
 * Gasser and Ignitito moaned at this, as Fu-Xi smacked them down!
 * Fu-Xi: "UGHHHHH?! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THESE GUYS WERE SO STUPID, THAT THEY NEVER WENT INTO MY DESISIGNATED AMBUSH POINT, FOR NEARLY HOURS ON END, THAT I HAD TO IMPROVISE, IN RAGE?! (Sighs quelling his anger)...... At least the deed is done. (To Quartz) Young miss, I suggest you get right to warning your people of this scam. My companions and I will take care of these simpletons."
 * Quartz: "..... I'm, not even gonna question it. (Flew off)!"
 * Quartz was flying across the sky and ended up bumping into Smolder!
 * Smolder: Quartz! Thank God you're okay... You're still not upset about earlier, are you?
 * Quartz: Well you might as well humor me, because Twilight sure won't be happy if you don't. Anyway, you WON'T bilieve what I discovered!
 * Smolder: That Vemita wants revenge on your friends' hometown?
 * Quartz: No... Well, kinda... But Vemita sold my friends to a Krampus, teased their siblings into hating dragons, and told my daddy about them. SHE'S the reason I'm an outcast.
 * Smolder:... Of course she was! Well we rescued them. We cast away the entire Krampus race, Garbage and Pail are obsidian statues in Beastopia because they're dumb as bricks, though we beaten Therium on a side-note after we creamed the Kramptown, and your ponyfriends and their siblings are helping Bright Eyes with Knuckerbocker. How'd you find out?
 * Quartz: Zmarts blabbed it out.
 * Smolder:... Seriously? Isn't he smarter then that? I mean, the freaking Garble-Clone of a dragon is named "Zmarts" for crap's sake!
 * Quartz: Best guess is that Fu-Xi must've pocessed Zmarts into making a mistake somehow. He already beaten the other goons into a pulp and is doing something to them now.
 * Smolder: Fu-Xi? Why's he here? Is it because the Lodgers are too busy to respond-... Well, answered my own question there. Let's head back to the Isle of Scaly. (They left)
 * (Smolder): So, things got Rocky, both figuratively and literally. (This played as Bright Eyes was whipped into shape)
 * (Smolder): "And let me tell ya, you should've seen Bright Eyes after they were done."
 * Vemita: (While holding the Torche of Stories) Well everydragon... It's storytime. And this is a pony roasting you won't EVER forget. You'll be drowning in your own tears of laughter.
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: Well, usually the torche barer is not suppose to tell the stories here as the feast of fire is suppose to be something alot of dragons can tell stories, but, ya know what? I need to feel better about my son being a shame to be, so.... Go ahead.
 * Vemita: ("Victory is MINE!!! After today, I'm coming for Vulcan Valley! They're going to burn in ashes for what they did to my family!") Once upon a time-
 * ???: HOLD IT!!! (This played as a beefed Bright Eyes appeared and Elder Sore-Eyes spat out his drink in surprise)
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: "....... SON?!"
 * Vemita:... What... The... Frigaf***!
 * Bright Eyes: Who's scrawny now?
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO YOU?!?
 * Bright Eyes: You've all been scammed! Vemita is a fraud! She's just trying to cheat her way into a reputation that doesn't belong to her so she can go annihilate Vulcan Valley!
 * Vemita: (Everyone looked at her)... That's absurd! Need I remind you you're banned from this Feast?
 * Sore Eyes: "AW DON'T TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THAT SHIT, YOU BITCH?! CONSPIRACTIES ARE NOT VERY FEAST OF FIREY?!"
 * Bright Eyes: COULDN'T'VE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF?! (Punches her in the chest, causing her to be flown off with the torch comedicly spinning around as Sore Eyes grabs it, as Vemita falls head-first into a pool of lava)... You don't deserve a name of any kind. You just want revenge.
 * Vemita: (Gets up and snarls) OH YOU ARE MOTHER F*****G DEAD, KID!!!! I WILL BALLING END YOU!!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Or you'll break trying. And when you do, I'll get back the honor you stole from me. (Vemita charged in as Bright Eyes punched her in the chest again)
 * Vemita: SMEYHT!!!! UGGGGGH!!! (He twisted her chest painfully) GRAAA, AAAAHHH, STOP FISTING ME!!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Okay. (Judu chops an arm painfully)
 * Vemita: HUUEERRHH, I DIDN'T MEAN ALL AT ONCE!!!! Ahhgh!! Can I... Have a second?
 * Bright Eyes: Sure.
 * Vemita: Thanks, you little-
 * Bright Eyes: SECOND'S UP!!! (Punched her in the face as she fell head-first into the same pool of lava)
 * Vemita: PUBUBUBUBUBUBLUB!!!! (Breached with a ferocious temper) THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!!!!!
 * Bright Eyes: (Everyone was laughing) I'd say it really is. (In a DBZA Cooler Returns fashion, Vemita kept lunging out of and falling into the pool)
 * Vemita: STOP IT!!! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!!! (Displayed a mouth dripping with flaming venom and kept trying to bite poison into him)
 * Bright Eyes: Nice miss. Missed again. Wow, you suck. Neener-neener! Na-nana-nana!
 * Vemita: WILL YOU HOLD STILL AND STOP CONTINUING THIS FAÇADE?!? THERE'S NO WAY THOSE MUSCLES OF YOURS ARE REAL!!! IT'S JUST MAGIC!!!! PROVE TO THESE PEOPLE THAT IT'S JUST A STEROID SPELL FROM QUARTZ' PONY FRIENDS!!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Okay. (Punches her so hard she felt the impact, which shatters her fangs in the process, and fell in the dirt)
 * Vemita:...... Oh...... My...... GODS!!!! It's not an illusion! That didn't feel like no illusion. (Picked up her fang pieces) NO WAY EVEN LEGIT STRONG PONY MAGIC CAN PULL THIS KINDA SHIT OFF?! HOW?! HOW DID YOU GET THIS STRONG?!?
 * Bright Eyes: I trained all day yesterday.
 * Vemita: Oh, you think you're being CUTE?!?
 * Bright Eyes: Bitch, I'm adorable.
 * Female Dragon: "A hunk more like it."
 * Bright Eyes: But if you'd like a proper answer, ask the legendary Knuckerbocker.
 * Vemita: (She and everyone else were surprised)... No! Nonono, I can't lose to you!! (Blasted outrageous fire powered up by her venom as he completely resisted it)
 * Bright Eyes:... Please. You call THAT dragon's breath? LET ME SHOW YOU REAL DRAGON'S FIRE!!!! (Breathed in and blasted massive fires knocking her back comically and back yet again into the pool of lava as everyone laughed)
 * Vemita: URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!! GET OVER HERE YOU LITTLE- (He punched her in the face) GRAAAAHHH, THE BACK OF MY FACE!!!!... Did I just say- (Bright Eyes punched her again) THAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAAT?!? (Fell to her knees) GONNA PEE BLOODY PROPANE!!!! (Bright Eyes knees her once again into the pool of lava)... (Breaches) DAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! I'VE DONE TOO MUCH S*** TO DRAGONS AND PONIES TO BE HUMILIATED BY YOU!!! (Covers her mouth)
 * Elder Sore Eyes: "Ya know, you were already in deep shit when my son said you were basicly doing a conspiracty, but, honestly, that's just confirmation straight from the horse's mouth!"
 * Bright Eyes:... So, you admit it. You snitched on Quartz to her father, you sold her pony friends to a Krampus slaver, you turned their siblings into dragon-haters, and you wanted to annihilate Vulcan Valley to avenge your dead great grandfather Vulcan! (Everyone was shocked)
 * Vemita: NO! (He smirked)... Yes. (He punched her in the chest again) PHHHHHOOOOOOOPPPPHHH!!!! YA KNOW, TECNECALLY, THIS IS DOMESTIC ABUSE?!
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: "Bitch, this is dragon terratory, there ain't no safety guideless for NEITHER gender, sink or swim, cunt!"
 * Bright Eyes: You feel that? That's what honestly feels like. (Threw her into mud)
 * Vemita: PUUUBUBUBUBLURB!!!!!!
 * Bright Eyes: Had enough yet? Because thanks to Knuckerbocker, I'm going to end your plans once and for all. Now that everydragon knows your deception, you will NEVER have a name for as long as you live.
 * Vemita:...
 * Bright Eyes: Speechless?
 * Vemita: DAMMIIIIIIIIIIITT!!!! I WANT TO BE GREAT!!!!! I WANNA!!!! I WANNA, I WANNA, I WANNA- (Bright Eyes kicked her face-first into the lava pool again) (Gurgling) I WANNAAAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (The dragons laughed uncontrollably)
 * Bright Eyes: Well looks like it's not just your body that's broken.
 * Vemita phathicly climbed out, as Ember arrived.....
 * Vemita: "...... Is, alittle revenge, on my family, TOO MUCH TO ASK?!"
 * Ember: "...... You were f*****g around with a respected holiday, got a Krampus involved, ruined a little girl's life, screwed around ponies that don't even have anything to do with your personal woes, all for the sake of screwing up Vulcan Valley...... Vem, I don't think that s*** would be something even Vulcan HIMSELF would wanna defend?! Never mind your parents! (Vemita lost her spirit, and that the pain kept her from having a reaction) Look, your entitled to be pissy at the Vulcan Valley ponies for what they did to your bloodline, but all trying to destroy them would do, is justify idiots like Neighsay, Undermine good ponies like Sparkle and friends and that friendship school, and quite frankly potaintionally risk a losing war with Equestria, because Vulcan Valley is the most impourent world-stage for pony and dragon relations. It was also an impourent point of the Fear Wars on the dragon side of things! It was where the first attempt with peace and co-existence was established. It was called the Vulcan Peace treaty! (Vemita was surprised by this)....... Yeah....... Your family, had a role in that......."
 * Vemita: "..... But..... But....... Why did Great Grandfather-"
 * Ember: "Flipflopped on it? Because he had a PTSD attack and lost himself! He ended up mentally reliving the Fear Wars and went berserk. Sucky as it was for him going out like he did, it had to be done....."
 * Vemita: "Wha...... Wha....... Why, did nobody said anything about that?"
 * Ember: "Because dragons were too stupid to ask why Vulcan died in the valley, and just assumed that the ponies there just turned into pricks."
 * Vemita: "...... How...... How did you came to know?"
 * Ember: "Duh. I went to Vulcan Valley and asked. The mayor explained what went down...... All, this, bulls***, your family and other such dragons needlessly killed, things that could've been avoided, if we just took the time to ask instead of feeding into basic instincts. Course, ya know us dragons. We blaze first, ask questions maybe later. We just, ended up assuming that ponies there want to be p****s and we gave a bad respondse to it. Thus, it played a part in keeping dragons and ponies bitter to eachother."
 * Vemita: ".......... So, all of this, was for NOTHING?! My, entire goal in life........ Wasted effert?!"
 * Ember: "Well how do you think the rest of us feel? We dragons, take our pride, for granted. We're too quick to anger. We're quick to beat the snot out of our problems before at least try to figure it out first! We- (Vemita broke into crying)...... Yikes...... That's, the first time I seen a dragon do THAT! I'm not even kidding. I literally thought we were incapable of crying."
 * Vemita: "Just, (sobs), leave me alone?! (Gets up and crawls away phathicly.....)....."
 * Bright Eyes: "(Now feels bad)....... I think, I may've egged her on TOO hard."
 * Elder Sore-Eyes: "Don't worry, son. You only did what needed to be done. Besides, as with all dragons, the best way to get their attention, is an exsample of sheer dominance."
 * Ember: "Besides, it wasn't the pounding that got to her. It was the truth that did. She pretty much did some s****y things...... And, to basicly find out that it was all because of a failure to communicate, well..... It desistated her."
 * Smolder and Quartz showed up, having heard what occured.
 * Smolder: "...... Well, f***."
 * Quartz: "........ Smolder, we need, to gather Vemita's friends. (A portal appeared as the Aviser appeared with the cured Garbage and Pail)."
 * Adviser: "I'm here to return these silly sots back to there home, now that Therium rules no more..... (Sighs with a breath of relief)..... Thank you for that, by the way. (Leaves back into the portal, leaving Garbage and Pail)....."
 * Pail: "...... We'd lost, did we?"
 * Garbage: "Like it wasn't obvious with Vemita gone and Bright Eyes looking ripped?"
 * Pail: "..... Oy, you can grind meat with those abs!"
 * Zmarts, Slammerhino, and Gasser and Ignitito were smacked into the ground from the sky, as Fu-Xi's airship was seen leaving via magic as "Get Ready to Die" plays out.
 * Zmarts: "....... Worse, humiliation...... Ever."
 * Ember: "AHEM?! (Vemita's possie freaked out and obediently and fearfully lined up saluteing)............. If, I can take a moment of your times explaining everything?"
 * Vemita sat in the corner, crying.
 * Vemita's friends came in torwords her, along with Smoldier's group.
 * Vemita: "(Broken) Please leave me alone......"
 * Zmarts: "....... Vem..... We...... We were told what really happened when your great granddad went after Vulcan Valley..... And, if it helps, if I had any idea what was really going on too, I'd be the first guy to try and bring reason to things. I would've talked with you about this, and prevented, (Saw the extent of the damages)...... That. (To Bright Eyes) Did you REALLY had to egg her own like that, bro?"
 * Bright Eyes: "Sorry, first time embracing dragon toughness. It made me felt so alive that, basic instinct took over."
 * Zmarts: "..... Ahem. Look, point is, Vem, you at least still had your friends..... We'll, we'll figure something out to ger ourselves out of this ditch."
 * Vemita: "There's no hope for me?! I rather be left in my misery!"
 * Quartz finally gain the courage to step up and face Vemita head on.....
 * Quartz: "...... Vemita, I, have many, MANY words to say to you for all that you did to me."
 * Vemita: "Don't bother, I already know what you're gonna say?! That I was a miserable bitch to you and that you're glad I got my commupence?! That I don't deserve to be happy and have a life?! Nothing new there?!"
 * Quartz: "It's, something among those lines, but, it's actselly, kinda different...."
 * Vemita: "THEN OUT WITH IT, QUARTZY?! WHAT NEW THING DO YOU HAVE ON THE TABLE THAT ISN'T ALREADY-"
 * Quartz Pony friends and siblings arrived.
 * Sunny: "Hey, ya mind if we have our own say first, Quartz?"
 * Ash: "We heard what happened earlier before. Those dragons explained everything..... We want to say something too."
 * Vemita: "OH GREAT, MORE GUESTS FOR SHIT ON VEMITA DAY?! WELL, GO AHEAD?! OUT WITH IT?!"
 * Ash:... We're sorry.
 * Vemita: DAMMIT, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS JUST A MISUNDER-... What?
 * Ash: Yeah. You were just so young and so angsty. It's just a phase. Nothing to be ashamed about.
 * Vemita: "..... I..... I don't understand..... I thought you of all ponies would revel of seeing me like this."
 * Ash: "Oh don't get me wrong, some part of me is cheering for fucking joy on how much Bright Eyes managed to kick your ass! But at the same time, a better side of me is telling me, that alot of everything that happened between us, would've been avoided if we just talked to eachother. We ponies were just as guilty of not trying to explain what occured with Vulcan and just assumed our worse base instincts about dragons. So..... We were BOTH being idiots."
 * Geyser: "Also, the fact your capable of crying shows that you were not what we expected to be at all."
 * Quartz: "Vemita, it's time we make all this woe water under the bridge now. It's time to move on and seek greener pastures...."
 * Vemita: "....... Not that all that is great to hear, but..... I just want time to be alone now. I need to reflect on everything."
 * Quartz: ".... I understand. You need to do alot of soul-shearching now. That's why we brought your friends here. So you don't have to be alone. (Quartz and the others left Vemita and gang alone, as Zmarts made the conjustus effert to hug Vemita, who returned it)....."
 * (Smolder): "After that, the feast of fire resumed with a new theme: Epic Adventures. And spoiler alert, me and Quartz won the prize for our story."
 * (Quartz): "Alchourse, nice as all that wealth and gems were, it would be hard to take all that back to school, so, we simpley, re-distributed it back to the other dragons. Course, Sore-Eyes commented it as "Unconventional", but he allowed it cause we saved the feast of fire from being ruined."
 * (Polarity): "What happen to Vemita and her possie?"
 * (Quartz): "Well, by all means, they're likely are still gonna be very rough and tumble dragons."
 * Some fillies were seen making a snowpony, as Vemita and her possie arrived to them......
 * (Quartz): "It's hard to say if she'll completely let go of her family troubles."
 * Vemita, surprisingly pulled out a piece of heart stone and placed it before the surprised and confused fillies, then the group left.
 * (Quartz): "But Ember said that, at the least, she managed to become a better dragon all the same."
 * Polarity: "D'awwwww, what a happy ending to an exciting story..... The fighting part at the end was abit excessive though."
 * Smolder: "Eh, that's dragon stories for ya. It always ends with a fight."
 * Ocellus: "But don't worry, Polarity. The stories for the chanegling side of things promises less brawling."
 * Gaster: "Yeah, it's basicly the time where Ocellus was trying to get Changelings to realise that they fucked up how to celebrate the Holiday thanks to me pointing it out, all the while we have to deal with a grouch of an elder changeling, while my brothers tried to pull an epic holiday prank after finding out about "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" by posing as Hearth's Deer and basicly steal people's shit, but they ended up helping some orphan kid."
 * Polarity: "Wait, you two tried to pose as Hearth's Reindeer? That is a serious offence in my homeland."
 * Caster: "Hey give us a break, we're all about pulling people's legs, and that Grinch story felt like the perfect way to bust people's balls!"
 * Buster: "It was only meant to be in good fun."
 * Gaster: Well I suppose it's time we get started on my holiday.
 * (Gaster): The Changeling Hive had it's first white holiday. And Ocellus was busy with family while me and my brothers were out getting her something.
 * Caster: You're getting, Pretty Eyes... A gift?
 * Gaster: Uh, yeah? It's Hearth's Warming.
 * Buster: But, I thought what happened in Chrysalis Day killed your holiday joy.
 * Caster: Yeah, I mean, that event should've made it impossable for you to enjoy holidays at al.
 * Gaster: Hey, I figured that I get Eyesight something nice for once, get a break from otherwise being an ass to her, ya know? That doesn't mean I started to like holidays again. Say, where is Brighteyes anyway?
 * Caster: "Talking with Thorax about something about how Hearth's Warming is actselly being done wrong?"
 * Gaster: "Gee, is it being done wrong? I didn't noticed."
 * Buster: "But weren't you the one who said it?"
 * Gaster: "I WAS BEING SARCASTIC?!"
 * Caster:..... Is there... Something you're not telling us?
 * Gaster: "..... DON'T YOU TWO HAVE A HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS INSPIRED PRANK TO DO?! (Buzzes off)...."
 * Caster: ".... Oh yeah, I TOTALLY forgot that! Okay Bust, let's practice our Hearth's Deer forms."
 * Buster: "Ohhh, goody, I've been working on mine! I actselly turn into a deer this time! Now I just need to be a spefific one!"
 * (Caster): Well, let's see what else was going on elsewhere.
 * (Buster): Particularly this grump we talked about. They call him... Humbug. (An elderly impure Changeling was seen walking the snowy streets as this song played)
 * Humbug: (The song ends immediately after this) SHUT UP!
 * Changeling 1: "YIPE?!"
 * Humbug: Hmph! I HATE songs. (He entered his home)... Ugh. Holiday time again, and once again, it's time to torture people. (His pet emmets squeaked)... Why? Because holidays are just an excuse for greed and carelessness. Back when Chrysalis was in charge, she gave me the worst jobs. Like this one time...
 * Humbug: (He was dressed like a Changeling reindeer) So, little girl, what's your name?
 * Changeling Larva: Follicle.
 * Humbug: Well what would you like to give your Queen, Follicle?
 * Follicle: I want to give her some kissies so she can grow my wings so I can fly.
 * Humbug: Yeah. And her special Hearth's Changeling wants her to give her another 50 love seeds an hour. But apparently, HE'S NOT GETTING THAT EITHER!!!! (Chrysalis laughed) Remember, Follicle. DISAPPOINTMENT IS A PRESENT FOR BOTH YOU AND HER TOO!!!!!
 * ???: CHRYSALIIIIIIIS!!!! (Impure La Bromacha was buzzing in crazily and landed on him)
 * Humbug: GOOOOOHHHH!!!!!
 * La Bromacha: I got a lot of gifts for the Queen! (Gasps heavily and yelled everything comically as Humbug's eye twitched in annoyance)
 * Humbug: KID, CAN'T YOU USE YOUR WORDS?!? I DON'T SPEAK DUMB PRANKSTER BITCHBUG!!!!! (Everyone was shocked)... I mean uh... Scene?
 * Changeling #1: YOU'RE NOT A HEARTH'S CHANGELING!!!!
 * Changeling #2: THIS GUY LIED TO US!!!!!
 * Changeling #3: I WANT CHRYSALIS' GIFTS BACK, GREEDMONGER!!!!!!
 * Changeling #4: I KNEW YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST AN ELDERLY RETIRED-LOOKING HEARTH'S CHANGELING!!!
 * Humbug: I'M 62!!!!
 * All Changelings: GET HIIIIIIIMMM!!!! (They pounced on him comically)
 * Changeling #5: Hey, buddy! I got your Chrysalis Day joy RIGHT HERE!!!! (Gets out his hoof with the words 'Sucker Punch' tattooed on it)
 * Humbug: OH PLEEEHEEHEEHEEEASE!!! IT'S JUST A JOHOHOOB!!! (He was punched)
 * Humbug: And there was also this one time...
 * La Bromacha: OH HUUUUMBUUUUUG!!!
 * Humbug: URRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH... YEESSS... BROMACHA?!?
 * La Bromacha: Chrysalis says she wants you to be the Chrysalis Day Tree!
 * Humbug:... Do I have to ask why?
 * Chrysalis: No, because IT'S AN ORDER!!!! (Guards plowed all over him and he was later forced to shapeshift into an ugly tree)
 * Humbug:... This is very exasperating.
 * Chrysalis: TREES DON'T TALK!!! (They poked him as he yelped and they sung carols)
 * Humbug: And that's just the best thing she's done to me. That egomaniac pushed me too far. So I do not celebrate this time of year ANYMORE!!! I can't celebrate this holiday, without thinking of the constant times of HUMILIATION!!!! This is nothing but a way to be selfish and needy. And any grub-brained slobs who thinks otherwise, should go to the Changeling Underworld and drown in their own slime!!! So this time, my emmets, this holiday must be stopped. Why for 503 DAMN YEARS I PUT UP WITH IT NOW!!!!... This time... I'm going to give them a holiday they'll never forget. (He chuckles)
 * Ocellus was seen talking with Thorax.
 * Thorax: "You're saying that, we were actselly celebrating Hearth's Warming wrong?"
 * Pharynx: "Like, how?"
 * Ocellus: "We took Twilight's insturctions too litterally."
 * Thorax: "I see..... I always did wonder why they didn't hung their trees like we do, or that they stop short of giving the gifts back to eachother. Sorry we messed up how we celebrate Hearth's Warming, Ocellus. It was the first time we had a genuine holiday since we stopped celebrating Chrysalis Day."
 * Pharynx: "Well, that changes today. We're gonna celebrate the holiday right..... We, just need to figure out how, cause, the changelings are TOO used to the litteralist inpertretations..... Also, Humbug's being a dick about the holiday in general."
 * Ocellus: "Humbug? He's still here? (Humbug was then seen putting a mistletoe above Thorax and Pharynx while this played)"
 * Humbug: (The two vomit uncontrollably in reaction) BAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (He then saw some decorations and unleashes some Parasprites) Okay, buddies. Chow time. (They were amazed by the food and spoke militaristically in their own language before eating everything in random comical fashions as Humbug laughed)
 * Pharynx:... YES!!!!! He's the scrooge of the neighborhood. He did something horrible to me last year.
 * Pharynx: (Humbug went to Pharynx as he slept)... Vespa, have you ever kissed a Changeling who lost his mandibles twice?
 * Humbug: No, SILLY! (He puckers as he got out a bloated slimy glowworm)... But it's an experience I've always longed for. KISS ME YOU FOOL! (Pharynx kissed the worm as his face was covered in gross slime)...
 * Pharynx: Eech, Vespa, you need a breath mint. Your breath smells like glowworm slime.
 * Humbug: HOW DARE YOU?!? (Blows on his face) I think I smell pretty!
 * (Pharynx woke up and saw Humbug and the glowworm)
 * Pharynx: "(Got a trumatised face as Humbug started to laugh as the song climaxed)............. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (ECHOS)!"
 * Pharynx: I was sick throughout the entire holiday!!!
 * Ocellus: Ugh! Why does he always do this?
 * Pharynx: The bastard just spends his hated time of year being a douche.
 * Thorax: He just got embarrassed by Chrysalis and can't think about the holidays without thinking of those painful times.
 * Ocellus: (Sighs) I just hope he stays away from my friends here.
 * Caster: (The two were snickering as Hearth's Reindeer) This is going to be the best holiday prank ever.
 * Buster: Yeah. We'll totally take everything, and exchange them like wicked. Plus we'll do them MORE literally. Putting up the tree by launching it into the air, fill their holiday punch with the punch they swam in, and build a fire... A REAL fire!!! Then we can actually end it all and have a good laugh about it. (Humbug was watching them and snickered)
 * Caster: Totally. What could go wrong?
 * (Caster): Good question. Let's hear the answer.
 * Pharynx: (Suddenly appears) You guys were trying to prank the entire hive in such a disgraceful fashion?! You think this is funny? You'll only risk endangering the entire hive!! You are worse than La Bromacha!!! AND I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ANYCHANGELING COULD DO THAT!!! I'VE PUT UP WITH YOU TWO HOOLIGANS, BUT THIS TIME YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LINE!!!!
 * Caster: Pharynx, it's not what it looks like!!!
 * Pharynx: YEAH, SURE!!!! You know what? You two are officially banned from the Hearth's Warming Party, FOR LIFE!!! (The two gasped) Seriously, you two are just as disrespectful to authority as your brother. If I ever see you two anywhere near the party, YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE BANISHED!!!! We're going to have a nice long chat with Twilight about this. (He buzzed away)
 * Caster: (As they walked out of the hive) How the hell did he know about our prank?!
 * Buster: Someone obviously snitched on us. (They walked by an orphanage) Now we've been banned from the party, and Gaster and Ocellus will have to celebrate it without us...... (Saw Orphanage)...... Has that Orphanage always been there?
 * Caster: "Oh, it's a recent addition when Thorax started to rent out excess land Changelings aren't using to others."
 * Buster: "Aw, that's nice of him."
 * Caster: "He is Thorax after all. I don't think the dude has a mean bone in his body. He's even mentallity incapable of cussing. In fact, when he gets upsets, he saids things like "Golly Gee Willikers" or "Nutter Fudge"."
 * Buster: "(Snickers), He does?"
 * Caster: He totally does. I know. I have a hard time not laughing, too.
 * Buster: "So, now what're we going to do now?"
 * Caster: That's a good question. What CAN we do now that General Can't-Take-A-Joke banned us from the party?
 * Buster: "(Realises something)...... Duuuuude, let's totally prank these orphans with the prank we were gonna do."
 * Caster: "...... (Smacks him) STEAL FROM ORPHANS?! ARE YOU AN IDIOT?! I MEAN, AN EVEN BIGGER ONE?!"
 * Buster: "OW! Okay, how's about, we just pretend we're Hearth Deer and just mess with them?"
 * Caster: "..... Better."
 * (Gallus): "Really? You two were going to f*** around with the orphans' excitment for Hearth Reindeer?"
 * (Silverstream): After what the previous prank attempt got you?
 * (Buster): Ugh, why does nocreature in this era take jokes anymore?
 * (Yona): Uhh, because they're not funny? You guys are really big jerks.
 * (Caster): And you're a girl who doesn't know if she's stupid or smart cause of canonical inconsistentcy. Now back to the story.
 * Buster: Hehehehe!!
 * Caster: This is going to be classic!
 * ???: HEARTH'S REINDEER?! HERE?! (A paraplegic young Changeling was seen) IT'S A HEARTH'S WARMING MIRACLE!!!
 * Buster: Whoa, kid!!
 * Changeling: Kid? I thought Hearth's Reindeer were supposed to know everycreature.
 * Caster: "We're uh, new guys."
 * Changeling:..... Okay, I guess that makes sense. I'm Downz McGutter.
 * Caster: (Makes a surprise face as a duck sound was heard)... Okay seriously, what precognitive jack-butt names these guys? At this point, coincidence is just too coincidental. What's next? A dude named Drybutt?
 * (Silverstream): "Ohhhhh."
 * Downz:... Um, I'm sorry?
 * Caster: "Duh, ignore that, Downz. See, we newbies are covering for the pros because they all caught...... Candy Cane-Itis."
 * (Little Dipper): "Candy Cane-Itis? Really?"
 * (Caster): "Isn't that a real Reindeer desease?"
 * (Little Dipper): It's just a myth meant to keep reindeer from eating too much sweets! Celestia, how stupid.
 * Downz: Isn't that a myth meant to keep kids from eating too much sweets?
 * Caster: No, it's a real disease. You become candy cane colored and eventually become one.
 * Downz:... (Chuckles) For newbies, you sure are pretty queer. Even for this world's standards, that sounds like something you made up.
 * Buster: I'm just surprised a kid like you used the word 'queer'.
 * Downz: Does it not mean weird?
 * Caster: Look, kid, we have a job to do, and don't you for that matter?
 * Downz: It's a holiday, silly.
 * Caster: Ugh! Kid, we don't need any distractions.
 * Downz: Well your job is just something phony anyway. You guys look like you've been through a lot. Why don't you come on in for hot chocolate and candy cookies?
 * Buster: "COOKIES?! (Zooms in!)....."
 * Caster: "..... (Facehoofs) Oy, him and that sweet-tooth."
 * (Buster): Though things weren't looking up for Gaster either. (Gaster was in an abyssian marketplace)
 * Gaster: (Sighs) If I hadn't been such a douche to Ocellus, she wouldn't be so hard to shop for.
 * Shop-Keeper: "COME GET THE LATIST HOLIDAY DO-HICKIES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE?!"
 * Gaster: "(Grunts disgruntled) Not helping that the markets have holiday fever."
 * Gaster saw a petshop center.
 * Petshop Owner: "Hurry hurry hurry, folks, step up right for the newest pet sensation sweeping the nations. I give you, (Shows a winged Tarranchula) Horse Fly-Ders. Speically modifived domesticated Fly-Ders that can do tricks, fetch yer newspaper, deal with a bad vermin problem, independent of having to feed too much, very healthy spieces, low maintainence, tons of affection, very good with other animals, gurrentied. (Disclaimer voice) Be informed that no Horse Fly-Der is the same and have indiviodual personalites and traits, exspeariences may very."
 * Gaster: "Hmmm...... I wonder if Bright Eyes would like a flying Spider? But how do I know she doesn't have arachnophobia? Ugh, better not risk it. (Moves on)."
 * Jewerly Vender: "(Has wide verities of jewels) The best way to give a girl a good present is with fine jewerly."
 * Gaster: ".... Ugh, I don't think Eyesight's the type to be all Rarity about that. Pass. (Moves on)."
 * Suddenly, Gaster turned his eye to something bright, and saw a lanturn being put on sell, as Gaster's bug-brain was in maximum overdrive.
 * Gaster: "..... (Zombie-like) Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. (Gaster started to buzz around the light as the Vender took noticed)....."
 * (Gallus): (Broke into laughter) "YEP, GOOD TO KNOW THAT CHANGELINGS HAVE THINGS IN COMMON WITH MOTHS?! (LAUGHS?!)!"
 * (Gaster): "Hey, we're usually smarter then that! It's just that, that lanturn, was speical."
 * Lamp Vender: "Oh, uh, sorry about that. (Turns the Lanturn off as Gaster snapped back to normal). See, that's a very secial lanturn, dear boy. It's called the Bug-Appeal Lanturn. It luminates a light that's very appealing to all insectiods. Even Changelings, appearently. This thing usually effects moths the most."
 * Gaster: "...... I, f*****g, want it, as a gift...."
 * Lamp Vender: "..... (Raises an eyebrow) How much your willing to pay- (Gaster plopped a giant diamond stone onto the Vender's stand)...... Ohhhhhh, my, Alicorns."
 * Gaster: "Try not to spend it all at once, Shopkeep. (Takes the lamp and flew off)."
 * Lamp Vender: "WAIT, DON'T YOU WANT THE CHANGE?!"
 * Gaster's voice: "KEEP IT!"
 * Lamp Vender: "..... Well, Hearth's Warming came early, today."
 * (Little Dipper): "You bought her...... A lamp?"
 * (Gaster): "Hey, it's a speical lamp that appeals to bugs and insectiods!"
 * (Little Dipper): And yet you didn't ask more about it?
 * (Gaster): Hey, what would be the point? It looked nice and therefore was nice.
 * (Smolder): This is a world where anything can kill you. Even gifts. That thing could've been a mind-control relic meant to create armies of brainwashed Changelings.
 * (Gaster): Well what were the chances that a vender would get his mits on something like that?
 * (Sandbar): It could've been an accident or it wasn't a vender.
 * (Gaster): Ugh, let's just move along.
 * (Ocellus): Yeah. As for me, well... I was still with Thorax.
 * Thorax: "Actselly Ocellus, you pocessed some good points. I think the Changelings need to be retrained the holidays."
 * Ocellus: Of course. It's pretty embarrassing. We need to refresh our concept of Hearth's Warming and do it in a way that defines us.
 * Thorax: Like what?
 * Ocellus: I don't know, something about love?
 * Thorax: Isn't that exactly what Hearth's Warming is?
 * Ocellus: Well what about love in a much broader definition?
 * Thorax:... Like mating?
 * Ocellus: TOO broad!
 * Thorax: Ugh, look, we hardly had any holidays. Chrysalis Day was just something Chrysalis got when she discovered holidays but also wanted to keep changelings from discovering her scam, while also catering to herself..
 * Ocellus: We have to think of something.
 * La Broma: "(Shows up) Why not call it, (Brings up a jar filled with Fireflies) Season of the Fireflies?"
 * Ocellus: Eh, not a good catch, but the fireflies are a good addition.
 * Anntenna: Well I seemed to have an idea buzzing in my head. Why not have the literal tradition of exchanging gifts and mix it up? Gifts can be exchanged in a more... Wonky way.
 * Ocellus: Can you explain?
 * Anntenna: Well family and friends can exchange gifts to each other through trading. If we don't like the one we get, we can give it to somechangeling else, that way we won't have to whine about not liking it.
 * Ocellus:... Thorax, this one's a keeper.
 * Vespa: And I shall recommend we build not a fire, but the best magic elemental displays.
 * Ocellus: Good, good.
 * Pharynx: And instead of some dumb setup for a risky prank, how about we have parts of those literal traditions that won't make outsiders laugh at our expense? Like having a tree put up right, some nice feasts, actual yuletide fires, and perhaps some carols?
 * Ocellus: Well let's get started. (They sung this)
 * Humbug: (In the shadows chuckling wickedly)
 * (Caster): "Meanwhile, back at that orphanage."
 * The still disguised Caster and Buster were brought into an orphangeage filled with mix-racial orphans.
 * A Harpy Adult flew in.
 * Harpy: "Downz, there you are, and- (Gasps).... You brought in Hearth's Reindeer?! They're real?! (The orphans gasped excitedly)!?.... Though, they're a lot, younger I expected."
 * Downz: "They're newbies. And they're here because the more professional Hearth's Deer all caught Candy Cane-itis."
 * Silence......
 * Zebra kid: "....... Really N-?"
 * Harpy: LANGUAGE!!
 * Caster: No, it's real. They ate way too much sweets and so they need substitutes.
 * Downz: You say it's a literal disease and now you say what I said? Are you stupid or something?
 * Caster: IS THAT ANY WAY TO TALK TO A HEARTH'S REINDEER?!?
 * Downz: Sorry.
 * Buster: Uh, we're not even- (Caster smacked Buster!) OWCH!! (Quietly) What was that for?!
 * Caster: (Quietly) What do you mean what was that for?! Prank, hello?!
 * Buster: (Quietly) We're still doing the prank?
 * Caster: (Quietly) Yes!!!
 * Buster: (Quietly) Why?! Is there any point now? These guys trust us, and doing the prank will be against what the friendship school stands for.
 * Caster: (Quietly) You're kidding me!! We just got here, and we're just going to back down?
 * Buster: (Quietly) Yes. Are you really going to do something bad to those faces? (The children had puppy dog eyes)
 * Caster: (Quietly)... Ugh, fine! But you owe me! Also, we can't tell them we're not Hearth's Reindeer.
 * Buster: (Quietly) Why not? Isn't being dishonest just as bad?
 * Caster: (Quietly) Think of it as a harmless lie. We're just getting out of here.
 * Buster: (Quietly) After what we told them?
 * Caster: (Quietly) They're clearly not buying it anyway. We're just wasting our time.
 * Buster: (Quietly) We're not lying.
 * Caster: (Quietly) Adults lie all the time. Santa Hooves isn't alive anymore and people keep telling kids that he's still alive.
 * Buster: (Quietly) This is different.
 * Caster: (Quietly) In what way? What will keeping this lie just to leave even do?
 * Buster: (Quietly) It's just not how Applejack would want it.
 * Caster: (Quietly) Oh, what, does Applebloom still believe he's still alive?
 * Buster: (Quietly) Dude, what's wrong with you?
 * Caster: (Quietly) What's wrong with YOU?! Why is bailing from these kids with a tiny fib such a big deal?
 * Buster: (Quietly) Because this is the Changeling Hive's first Hearth's Warming, goddamn it! (Before Caster spoke) REAL Hearth's Warming! This wouldn't be a good thing to do.
 * Caster: (Quietly) You mean that failed prank before was?
 * Buster: (Quietly) Okay, I'm done. I'm telling them right now.
 * Downz: What're you two whispering about?
 * Buster: Kid, we're-
 * Caster: Newbies and this guy doesn't know how to interact with children.
 * Downz: Well, I can agree with you. Must be hard. After all, I never had a proper family. Nochangeling adopted me for my handicaps, and I'm being tested for cancer. (The two were surprised) With the holiday rush limiting budgets, I fear if I do have it. I won't be able to afford the surgery.
 * Buster: (To Caster) Since when did saving someone's life have to be paid for? Seems like bribery.
 * Caster: (To Buster) Since forever? I don't know, I'm new to society.
 * Downz: So, you want to know what I really want for Hearth's Warming? A family. A family that can afford my health care. I don't want to die at such a good time for our race. You... You think you guys could give that to me? Pleeeeease? (Squees with puppy dog eyes)
 * Buster: Ohhhhh, dooooh, with the face and the eyes, and the... (Sighs) (To Caster) Okay, you win. I won't tell them. But when we eventually have to, we'd better have done something good.
 * Caster: "(Quietly) Thank you. (Clear throat) AHEM! Downz, because you said you want parents for Hearth's Warming, then by golly that's what yer gonna get!"
 * Downz: "REALLY?! (Hugs the two) THANK YOU SO MUCH?!"
 * Orphans: "D'awwwwwwww."
 * Harpy: "Oh that's so heart warming."
 * (Gallus): "Annnnnnd you two dumbasses got yourself into a serious pickle because you originally want to bust balls!"
 * (Shore): Yeah, you're going to nosedive into Changeling splooge.
 * (Caster): Well you don't know that. The story isn't really over.
 * (Gaster): As for me? I wrapped up the lamp I got for Ocellus, and she was working hard on the Changeling definition of Hearth's Warming. But Humbug was still being a DICK.
 * Humbug: Well that was fun, my pets. You should've seen the looks on those carolers' faces when I spiked their water with seltzer.
 * Carolers: Have a Holly Jolly H- (They burped so hard they blew down the place)
 * Humbug: (Laughs uncontrollably) I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Next I'll tell the entire hive that Santa Hooves isn't alive and listen to them cry. (Mimics sobbing) Oh, I LOVE ruining holidays.
 * ???: Except you also picked the wrong person to prank. (Fu-Xi and his gang appeared)
 * (Smolder): Okay, time out! He was in YOUR story too?
 * (Ocellus): Well you said yourself he was filling in for the Lodgers. So I guess he decided to help more than you guys.
 * Humbug: "WHAT THE?! WAIT A MINUTE, WHERE'D YOU GUYS CAME FROM!?"
 * Rash: Buddy, remember the snake prank you pulled?
 * Humbug: SNAAAAAAAAAKE!!!! (Everyone panicked and trampled across Fu-Xi and his group)
 * Humbug: There actually WAS a snake in there?
 * Fu-Xi: You insult me by spooking those good people in such an offensive manner. And word on the street is that you're the local bully Humbug. I will not accept being bullied by someone like you.
 * Humbug:... Oh screw this! (Teleports him and the gang away and into a pit of ichneumons)... I also love teleporting annoyances to hilarious spots. Now for the crowning achievement. My emmets... We are going to wreck the Hearth's Warming Party tonight.
 * Fu Xi's group came back with Lady Cao's magic!
 * Fu-Xi: "I'M BACK, BITCH?!"
 * Humbug screamed like a girl!
 * Humbug: "ON SECOND THOUGHT, I'M JUST GONNA RUN?! (Runs off cartoonishly)"
 * Humbug:... Whew. Lost him.
 * Fu-Xi: Boo. (Humbug squealed like a girl and was quickly beaten)
 * (Sandbar):... So he was beaten out of the story just like that? Well he was pointless.
 * (Gaster): I know, right?
 * (Sandbar): Whoa, I was just kidding, he really WAS?!
 * (Gaster): Yeah. Not every story has to be like that. Not all stories have to focus on a villain.
 * (Caster): And as for us? We got started on our promise to get Downzy Lou Who a family..... It was a holly jolly headache to try and get that done DURING THE HOLIDAYS WERE PEOPLE WERE TOO CAUGHT UP WITH THE KIDS THEY HAVE ALREADY?!
 * Caster: I'm seriously appalled that nochangeling would accept you because of your disability. That's pretty cruel.
 * Downz: "No, they were nice about not wanting to adopt to me, guys, they still felt sorry for me, but they politely insisted that they're not right for me."
 * Caster: Eh, good point. But it still sucks though! So, um, how did you get crippled?
 * Downz:... I'd rather not talk about it.
 * Buster: Dude, there's nothing wrong with be honest. (Sarcastically to Caster) Really!
 * Downz:... You're right.... I got paralyzed by eating week-old sweets. (Buster scoffed)
 * Buster: "Seriously dude? I thought it was for something serious, like, a prior family tragity or if it was related to were potaintional cancer problem or you were born cripped, but, EATING WEEK-OLD CANDY?! LIKE, HOW DOES THAT WORK- (Caster smacks him) OW?!"
 * Caster:... Seriously, dude?
 * Downz: Yeah. I know it's an anti-climatic reason, and, I kinda don't understand how eating week-old candy did this, but-
 * Caster: That "Seriously" wasn't meant for you, kid. This rookie isn't being a good Hearth's Reindeer by laughing at your expense.
 * Buster: Keyword, 'rookie'! I'm learning. Geez. I'm sorry about your disability, even if it doesn't make alot of sense on how that works.
 * Caster: Yeah you better be sorry. Asshole
 * Downz:... Did you just swear?
 * Caster: Keep in mind, we're rookies. We've yet to see Anti-Cussing training, kiddo.
 * Downz: Oh, right.
 * Buster: (Quietly) Nice save.
 * Caster: So, let's go find you a family. As long as we don't run into that Humbug jerk, we can have smooth sailing ahead of us.
 * Downz: Are you sure there's Changelings around here that will have the time and ability to help me?
 * Buster: You have little hope.
 * Caster: Yeah. (Fireflies flew in)... Oh. Looks like Ocellus and Thorax are getting started in refreshing the literal traditions of Changeling Hearth's Warming.
 * Downz: Is that what's happening? Who's Ocellus?
 * Buster: A student of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Giver of friendship to foreign lands.
 * Downz:... Okay. They are kinda cute. (A firefly lands on his nose as he giggles)
 * Caster:... B? I like this kid.
 * Buster: Me too. He's sweet enough to give cavities, but in a worthwhile kinda way.
 * Caster: Well, let's hope Gaster's okay getting her a present.
 * (Gaster): Speaking of that...
 * Gaster:... Maybe I should've asked more about this lamp. It looks... Suspicious, I wanna say?... Oh, what am I worrying about? Lamp's a lamp. Pretty Eyes will like it.
 * ???: But perhaps not in the way you would think. (Fu-Xi and his group came)
 * Gaster: Wait, your that Fu-Xi guy the lougers know, right? What're you guys doing here? Plus, aren't reptiles cold-blooded?
 * Fu-Xi: When you're a warrior, the laws of biology can be conquered.
 * Gaster:..... Suuuuuure. (Picks up a sign with a bull and chocolate pudding on it)
 * Fu-Xi: (Smacks the sign away) Okay fine, I asked my mother Lady Cao to give me a heat insulation spell to keep me from being frozen up! And yes, I know she's a Golith Beetle, she's my mother by magical creation! She made me from my Dragon God Father's fire! Just, roll with it, okay kid? Anyway, we're here because we felt we'd do the Lodgers a favor and keep you and your friends safe whilst they're caught up with their holiday fun, and/or in Po's case, historic recent defeluptments about god-like legendary chi powers that are not yet relivent enough to talk about. And just recently, we discovered that the Changeling side of things wasn't so cozy. We regret to tell you that lamp was just planted there by Humbug as one of his cruel pranks.
 * Teddie: Took care of him too.
 * Rash: Got him to cough up all the upcoming pranks so we can stop them. He even admited that he was a bittered old mess about not being the one to be a guardian of a fancy hyberation temple and that Labrum cheated him out of it and left him as personal council to Chrysalis!
 * Gaster: "Dude, I live in that hive, that much I already know."
 * Fu-Xi: And it's also irrelivent info as we were talking about the lamp. Of which, that lamp was gonna be the WORSE of his stunts! It's a lamp that mind-controls Changelings.
 * Gaster: "...... OH ALICORNS DAMN IT?!"
 * (Smolder): HAH! Called it!
 * Fu-Xi: It was supposed to entertain him by showing the entire population acting like bugs. Ignoring the fact that HE'S SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT HIMSELF!!!
 * Mo Tong: Really, we did him a favor.
 * Lady Cao: Plus prolonged exposure to this lamp can degenerate intelligence into that of a bug.
 * Gaster:... OH, GREAT!!!! JUUUUST GREAT!!!! I ended up getting something that would've turned my hive into mindless zombifved dumbasses?!
 * Fire: Well lucky for you, we bought you an actual lamp.
 * Rash: And by bought, we meant stole.
 * Teddie: And by stole, we meant stole back.
 * Rash: And by stole back, we meant exchange.
 * Teddie: And by exchange, we meant took the lamp Humbug switched out with this thing.
 * Rash: So it's not technically a crime.
 * Gaster: Yeah, I got it. Glad you brought this up. Just get rid of this piece of hypnotic garbage.
 * ???: Well I wouldn't do that by destroying it. (Another elder Changeling appeared)
 * Gaster:... Wait... I know you from somewhere. (Remembers familiar pictures from the School of Friendship and sees the elder Changeling's face)... HOLY FREAKING SHIT!? It... It can't be! You're-
 * Mirage the Changeling: The original namesake wielder of the Talisman of Mirage. I have come because Queen Destiny felt that a Changeling Hearth's Warming needed help from somechangeling of her hive. And with the first 'real' one, who better than the first to turn from impure to pure? Me.
 * Gaster:... I'm amazed you're still alive.
 * Mirage: Love is technically to us like blood is to vampires. It's not only a gift for immortality, but it is also a way to embrace the defining traits of others.
 * Gaster:... Really?
 * Mirage: Yes. But nochangeling else knows that. And they cannot know. When I first embraced it all those years ago, I knew that nochangeling else had to know about the unlimited possibilities of feeding off love. Consuming love by sharing with others was the most efficient method... But it came at an equal cost as taking it.
 * (Mirage): To consume a thing is to know a thing. Fact is, the original creator of that lamp was a Changeling who pondered this before I discovered it. A pure Changeling from Destiny's hive who wanted more than sharing love. So he built the lamp, the Lamp of Acquiescence, to actually create a web of shared love, take it from them, and harness it into the user. It takes love for one person. The Changeling was seeking to become immortal with this accursed lamp and wanted to make an army of Changeling drones to make his hive, so I had to stop him. I had him cast into the Changeling Underworld until death, and made sure the relic was hidden away. It couldn't be destroyed in a 100-mile radius of Changelings. Otherwise it could lure them into self-destruction. So I had to get it far away from a Changeling's reach. But the snowstorm separated it from me. I believed it was a good enough second. But it lures Changelings with it's hypnotic lights.
 * Mirage: No doubt it lured Humbug in and got him to prank Changelings with it's alluring glow, not realizing what it actually was. So, it must be destroyed the right way. Fortunately, your outsider friends can do that for me.
 * Fu-Xi: Well that should be easy. We will simply get it as far away from Changelings as possible and destroy it.
 * Mirage: Well here's the thing: It's supposed to be 100 miles away from ANY Changeling. If a Changeling gets within it's field, it'll immediately lure them in and won't detonate until the Changeling comes in. It's actually an effective failsafe in case it's creator fell. But here's a helpful hint: You'll know if it'll immediately detonate or activate it's love-sapping trick if it glows red. If it glows yellow, there's victims nearby. If it's green, you're in the clear. It's still green now because it's warming up after years of being lost. So I suggest you get moving fast before it recognizes it's in a hive. (The lamp flickers from green to yellow)... And it's about to.
 * Fu-Xi: We have to go. Now. Cao? (They teleport away with the lamp)
 * Gaster:... I hope they'll be okay.
 * Mirage: They seem like they've survived worse.
 * (Gaster): So while that s*** was happening, C and B were continuing with their child support.
 * Caster: "...... That, was basicly, every single changeling in the hive.... And none of them, felt like they're addiquite to help Downz!"
 * Downz: "It's okay. How can they? A handicap changeling I would imagine, would be alot to work with."
 * Caster got determined.....
 * Caster: "(Quietly)...... Buster, we need to get to Thorax and talk with him about contacting Desteny!"
 * Buster: "(Quietly) But what about Pharynx, he'll throw us out again because he somehow heard about the prank!"
 * Caster: "(Quietly) I have work-arounds for him. Here's the plan."
 * Downz: ("Oh why do they always have the need to wisper to each other?... Unless...") Are you guys Changelings?
 * Buster: What... No?
 * Caster: We're Hearth's Reindeer who are working on-
 * Downz: Actually I can tell the situation right away. You were actually intending something else and decided to help me after I explained my story and didn't want to tell the truth because you didn't want to hurt our feelings.... But I understand. I mean, I can even recognize you two. You're the two pranksters that planned to 'Grinch' the town or something. I saw you talking about it in an alley.
 * Caster:... I TOLD YOU TO WATCH IF SOMEONE WAS LISTENING!!!
 * Buster: Are you really worrying about the prank?
 * Caster: Look, we have nothing better to do than to help you get a family, DM. You'd have to be born without a soul if you were to ignore a story like yours. We're jerks, but that's because we've spent way too much time out of a proper family society. Our brother Gaster is by far the only family we got. And he's got a lot on his own plate.
 * Downz:... I'm so sorry.
 * Buster: And we're sorry for lying to you.
 * Caster: Well we better go find Thorax.
 * Buster: But what about Pharynx?
 * Downz:... Maybe I can help you with that.
 * Pharynx: No. You two were banned from the party. You have to be punished for what you almost pulled.
 * Caster: I can assure you, General Can't Take A Joke, this isn't about the stupid prank. This is about helping out somechangeling in need.
 * Pharynx: I don't care if it's for charity or good will towards creatures. I cannot trust you two.
 * ???: Not even for me? (Downs appeared with puppy dog eyes)...
 * Pharynx:... I don't care how big your eyes get, it's not happening. (They got wider)...... Why am I shedding tears?...... GMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... ALRIGHT, FINE!! But I'm on to you two?!
 * Caster, Buster and Downz went on it.
 * The Throwneroom was seen given a proper Hearth's Warming appearence.....
 * Thorax: "..... This, actselly...... Feels right."
 * Anntenna: "You said it. It feels like a proper holiday now."
 * Ocellus: "(Sighs in relief) I'm happy to help. I just feel bad that I wasn't able to get anything nice for Gaster in the midst of this, not helping that I don't know him well enough outside of bad exsamples to even know what he likes."
 * Thorax: "Oh don't worry, Ocellus, there'll be plenty of time to get him something nice."
 * Pharynx: "(Buzzes in) You brother, the jokster brothers want to talk to you about something."
 * Thorax: "If it's to apologise about the prank, then all it's forgiven. It's the holidays after all."
 * Pharynx: "Unsurprising coming from you, ya big softie. But, they're actselly here for a more, serious reason. Ya know that orphanage you agreed to rent out to that Harpy Lady?"
 * Thorax: "You mean Miss Wingheart? Why, yes, I-..... (Deadpan) What did those two do?"
 * Pharynx: Nothing, apparently. They said they want to send some crippled pupa orphan to Destiny's hive to give him a family.
 * Thorax:... That's actually very nice.
 * Pharynx: Brother, they're lying. They're using that kid for his cute eyeballs. I am going to ensure this is nothing more than bribery via orphan.
 * Thorax:... Brother... I am disgusted with the mistrust you are displaying.
 * Pharynx: I am simply being cautious.
 * Thorax: You can't stay on guard for the rest of your life. This is Hearth's Warming.
 * Pharynx: "I can't stay on guard for the rest of my life"? I'm a soldier Changeling. It's my job to defend the hive. Saying that is like telling a seapony not to swim. Get real, brother! If I let my guard down, I'm basically asking to leave the hive vulnerable. These two are up to something!
 * Thorax: And how do you know that?
 * Pharynx: I don't.
 * Thorax: Then why not trust them? Why would they use a crippled orphan for a prank? They are a lot of things, Pharynx, but they are NOT cruel. I'm disappointed you'd come up with such a harsh accusation. That's why I'm lifting their ban on the party, and placing it onto you.
 * Pharynx:... You want to run that by me again, Thorax? Are you TAKING DEFENSE OUT OF THE EQUATION?!?
 * Thorax: Pharynx, you have to learn that there are things more important than your job. You should know better than to accuse two brothers in Twilight's tutelage as cruel manipulators of innocent disabled children. That's why I can't trust you with the party and letting your girlfriend handle it.
 * Pharynx: I can't believe you! This is some love you're giving me.
 * Thorax: Well if you keep acting like this, you'll never be loved again. Now go.
 * Pharynx: You're making a big mistake! (Leaves as Caster, Buster, and Downz came in)
 * Thorax:... So is it true?
 * Caster: Cross our hearts. Downz has nobody to celebrate the holidays with. That's why we figured Destiny's hive is more accepting than a hive that's learning how to accept.
 * Thorax:...... You know? You could've just asked. (The three were confused)... Me and Ann were thinking about having children.
 * Ann: Exactly. Downz wants a family? We can be his family.
 * Downz:... Really? You'd do this for me?
 * Ann: Yes. We've been around foreign lands long enough to accept those like you. You can be a good first child for us.
 * Downz:... I... (Sobs) I don't know what to say. (Hugs them)
 * Caster/Buster: Awwww.
 * (Gallus): (Sobbing)
 * (Gaster): Oh my Luna, are you crying?
 * (Gallus): No, I'm just allergic to sob stories.
 * (Gaster): Suuuuuure...
 * (Gallus): Don't you dare pull out the sign.
 * Thorax: You two? This is the best gift ever. Thank you.
 * Caster: It's what friends do. Especially around the holidays.
 * Pharynx: (Watching from behind the door and sighs) What am I doing? (Leaves)
 * (Gaster): And before we knew it, he ended up surprising us with something unexpected at the party.
 * Pharynx: EVERYCHANGELIIIIIIIING!!!! (Everyone looked at him)... I have something to say.... I have been... A little carried away with my job. And because of that... I made a terrible mistake.... I underestimated two students of friendship, who didn't know any better because they wanted to give an orphan a family.... And that is why I have a very special gift for everyone. (Brings out a giant present and tore it open showing Humbug tied up by his limbs to a board) It's called 'Give Karma To The Humbug'! I found him unconscious and decided he needed his just desserts. He's even the one who told me about Caster and Buster's prank.
 * Caster: HE WHAT?!?
 * Buster: YOU JERK!!!!!
 * Pharynx: So to all the Changelings who have an issue with this dung beetle... (Magically creates a nuke made of snow) Give him the most unpleasant snowball fight of his life.
 * Humbug: Aw f***!
 * Changeling #1: HEY, THERE ARE CHILDREN PRESENT!!!! GET HIM!!!!
 * Mirage: HOLD IT!!!!... Pharynx... You are forgiven for this gift... But you must recognize that this kind of mistreatment is what got him like this to begin with. Chrysalis Day was not a good thing to him. He was humiliated and underappreciated. Doesn't that sound... Familiar?
 * Pharynx:... GRAAAAAAAGGGHHHH, HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND?!?... Well we have him. What should we do with him?
 * Humbug: "..... Look, if it makes you sensitive nancies feel any better, alot of my bad behavior stemmed from losing out on being a guardian for a Hybernation Temple to Labrum.... Not helping that I heard he ended up not liking it anyway?! I, trained my whole life to take care of a hybernating royalty, even if on the Impure side! And he cheated me out of it?! Instead, I was left to be Chrysalis' council, WHICH MAY AS WELL HAD BEEN LIKE HER BABYSITTER?! Every day of my life, espeically on Chrysalis day, she used me as a convinence to resolve a contemporay problem?! SO CAN YOU HONESTLY BLAME ME FOR BEING SUCH A COCAROACH AFTER THE CRAP I WENT THROUGH?! All I wanted was a digifived purpose?! THAT'S IT?!"
 * Pharynx: "..... Well, ya know, tecnecally, you're pretty much my brother's council now. And let's be honest, he needs alot of help keeping the hive stable while still respecting the changes. And you know alot about keeping things stable, Hums."
 * Humbug: "..... Well, yes, albeit, it's often more in line with temple care."
 * Pharynx: "Well, a hive's not that different from a Hybernation Temple. We could use someone to help Thorax and yours truely keep the Changelings from getting too soft, NOR too hard."
 * Humbug: "Tch, you basicly want an order barker. That's abit of a step down from guardian of a Hybernation Temple."
 * Pharynx: "Perhaps, but consider this..... It'll still offer you some serious respect. You'll help my bro out on the occational disputes between changelings, prevent rise of defects, and help whip some Soldier Changelings into shape. Cause let's be honest, much as I like to say I did some improvement, our soldiers are still only BARELY ready to handle only MINOR problems, nevermind more serious problems, like Chrysalis or monster attacks."
 * Humbug: ".... I, see your point, but I don't see how that cures me of my holiday distaste."
 * Ocellus: "Allow me, Pharynx. (To Humbug) You may've already noticed, but, Changelings ended up taking Twilight Sparkle's instructions-"
 * Humbug: "Stupidly litteral? I'd had to be braindead NOT to notice. And didn't you already resolved this?"
 * Ocellus: "Well, at least, only, 99.8 percent. There may still changelings that still do the litteralist traditions, often out of confusing or being too attached. And, it would be nice if they were given firm but fair insturctions, and/or nodges, to consider the right way of doing it."
 * Humbug: "..... So basicly, keep the holiday from being done stupidly? Well, I don't know.... It's, it's still a far cry from being a guardian of a Hybernation Temple. Besides, even if it's only a minority, it's still alot of work. It's a big hive after all. It'll take time."
 * Ocellus: "That's why I wanna give you a gift. (Gives Humbug a present)....."
 * Humbug: "(Was surprised)...... Ocellus, that's sweet, but..... (Deadpan) I'm litterally in a position where I can't open that present."
 * Ocellus: ".... Oh, right, here, let me open it for you. (Ocellus opened the box, reveiling a Horse Fly-Der)."
 * Humbug: "HELLO, ARACHOPHOBE'S WORSE NIGHTMARE MUCH?!"
 * Ocellus: "It's a Horse Fly-Der. They're a domesticated spieces that can be trained to be helpful to people. I bought one cause, it was meant to be a last minute gift to Gaster cause I was too busy helping the Changelings re-learn Hearth's Warming, but, after all the trouble he ended up going through the lamp he ended up buying,"
 * Gaster: "WHICH WAS ALSO HIS FAULT, BY THE WAY?!"
 * Ocellus: "He and I agreed that maybe we should wait on getting to know eachother better before we even thing about getting gifts, which, may, take some time. So, you can have it."
 * Humbug: "..... I.... I don't know what to say, I....."
 * (Ocellus): "Pardon my predictable reference, but, in the hive, they say, (A diagram of Humbug's heart was shown), That Humbug's heart, metathoricly speaking, grew three sizes that day."
 * Humbug's usually bitter expression melted into a gentler gaze......
 * The Horse Fly-Der cuddled with Humbug.....
 * Humbug: "..... I'll name you..... Maxwell." (Everyone cheered)
 * Ocellus: The End.
 * Caster: (To Gaster) Though you had to leave out the parts where you confessed to us you had- (Gaster shoved him) OOF!
 * Gaster: (To Caster) Because I'm not ready yet!
 * Buster: (Quietly) Suuuuuuure... (Brought up the sign)
 * Sandbar: Heh. Well I guess you guys will be happy to hear about this. (Transforms into a seapony as everyone but Gallus, Dipper and Smolder did this)
 * Olhar came in, saw what the students were doing, and half-assed excited screaming!
 * Gallus: "Ya don't have to join in, this is a personal moment for them."
 * Olhar: "Oh thank gods, cause this feels like a "You have to have been there" sort've deal, I'll just mind my business. (Leaves)."
 * Yona: YOU'RE FINALLY A SEAPONY!!!!!
 * Little Dipper: "(Aphathic) And that's a thing with him, why?"
 * Smolder: "So it makes making out with Shore a thousand times in the pond or in the water less freaking ackword."
 * Sandbar: Yep. Since my holiday story that is- (Shore tickles his tail fins as he laughed) SHORE!!!
 * Shore: About damn time too. Now we can explore the sea anytime we want.
 * Cozy: Well that, and people can stop thinking you're weird with how much you enjoy it.
 * Sandbar: Too much info, Cozy. But that's actually where our story begins.
 * (Sandbar): In Horseshoe Bay, the very first thing I did was dive in the water. Buuuuuuut... (Sandbar plunged in but glurbed to the temperatures)
 * Shore: I tried to tell you, honey, the water temperate during winter isn't suitable.
 * Sandbar: (Gurgling) THEN WHERE ARE ALL THE SEAPONIES?!?
 * Shore: One, as funny and cute as you sound talking underwater, stop, because it's embarrassing and weird, not to mention a dangerous waste of land oxygen. Two, they do what fish do in the winter. Migrate. Seaponies like to spend holidays exploring and helping others. It's a tradition that spans centuries and- (Sandbar had drowned and was flushed blue)... Really, Shore? REALLY?!
 * (Shore): So I took him back home.
 * Sandbar: (Was sick with a red nose, hot pack, hot chocolate and sneezes)
 * Sandbar's Little Sister From Flashback: Wow, bro, you're unbelievable sometimes.
 * Older Little Brother: Yeah. You jumped into freezing cold water? What did you think was going to happen? Something out of Sebastian's musical number?
 * Sandbar: Shut up, Sandbank! You were always an annoyance.
 * Sandbar's Little Sister: Well, he's not being an inaccreate annoyence. It was still silly to do. Now you're sick.
 * Sandbar's Father: Yeah, and now you may have to skip out on the holidays.
 * Sandbar: OVER MY DROWNED BODY, AH-CHOO, DAD!!!
 * Sandbar's Father: "That was close to happening, ya know."
 * Sandbar: I DIDN'T COME BACK HOME JUST TO SKIP WHAT I CAME FOR!!!
 * Sandbar's Mother: Well you should've thought of that before you jumped.
 * Sandbar: GIVE ME A BREAK, MOM!!! I DIDN'T KNOW HOW SEAPONIES SPEND THE HOLIDAYS!!!
 * Shore: Well I could've told you if you just asked. The only time we actually stay home is if the climate temperature is pretty insulated.
 * Sandbar: Like in Seaquestria? That place is entirely in a sea cave.
 * Shore: Not all of it, actually. That's just the royal sector. There's plenty more outside the cave. The seas surrounding Mount Aris are decorated with reef cities. Heck, Weathering Shores have much of the city in it, and it's actually where they celebrate most of the Three Days of Freedom Celebration.
 * Sandbar: Oy!
 * Shore: It's okay, honey.
 * Sandbar: NO IT'S NOT OKAY!!! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A GOOD TIME UNTIL NOVO GIVES ME THE PEARL NECKLACE SHE PROMISED!!! BUT INSTEAD I PULL AN IDIOT MOVE AND GIVE MYSELF A COLD!!! (Sneezes and blows his nose)
 * Sandbar's Father: Well it would've helped if Novo hadn't f****d up!!!
 * Sandbar's Mother: HONEY, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!!!
 * Sandbar's Father: Am I wrong though?
 * Sandbar's Mother: YES!!! I AM SO TIRED OF YOUR SOCIALIST ATTITUDE!!! WILL YOU STOP BLAMING NOVO FOR HAVING SANDBAR AND SHORE SEPARATED?!
 * Sandbar's Father: Why? By the time Twilight came, my son was going to grow up. Have a wonderful life with a girl. When that incident caused an uproar, the two were embarrassed to be seen with each other and Sandbar left for the School of Friendship. There's nobody to blame but Novo. If I had the right bone in my body, I'd make sure she was dethroned after that before Sandbar left.
 * Sandbar:... Dad, how could you say that?! If I hadn't left, I wouldn't have met my friends.
 * Sandbar's Father: Well, erm, maybe it wasn't a complete slap to the face for your love life but, you would've had a life just as good. You and your girl would've been free fish, but instead, you two became a controversial relationship because one pony princess tried to steal from the seaponies.
 * Sandbar's Mother: IT'S NOT HER FAULT OR TWILIGHT'S!!! THE STORM CLAN JUST RUINED THEM AND THEY COULDN'T THINK STRAIGHT!!!
 * Sandbar's Father: Oh sure, excuse Novo's bad behavior because that big goat-ape scared the living daylights out of her! Either should've known better. That's why, as soon as Novo comes with the necklace, I'm going to give her what's coming to her.
 * Sandbar's Mother: HONEY!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! That might make her change her mind about this PERIOD?!
 * Sandbar's Father: WELL AT LEAST IT'LL PROVE MY POINT?!?
 * Sandbar's Mother: I MEAN IT?! YOU DO THAT, YOU'LL JUST HAVE HER RECONSIDER GIVING SANDBAR THE PEARL NECKLACE!!!
 * Sandbar's Father: And as before, at least my point would be proven?! She'll lose all the same!
 * Sandbar's Mother: HONEY!!! THAT IS GOING A LITTLE TOO FAR!!!
 * Sandbar's Father: I'M DOING THIS FOR OUR SON!!!! HE'S GOT HIS OWN LIFE NOW AND IT WAS ALMOST TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM JUST BECAUSE OF SOME FALSE SEAPONY QUEEN!!!
 * Shore: "CAN YOU NOT TALK LIKE, HIM, RIGHT NOW?!"
 * Sandbar's Mother: I DOUBLE THAT?! WELL, IT'S NOT ANY BETTER THAN MAKING A SCENE TO HER!!! YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANT TO MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE?!?
 * Sandbar's Father: IF IT CAME TO THAT, YES!!!
 * Sandbar's Mother:... We're getting a divorce! (Everyone gasps)
 * Sandbar's Father: FINE BY ME!! (They left)
 * Shore:... Oh boy!
 * Sandbar:..... My parents...... A Divorce?.... On Hearth's Warming? That's, terrorable.
 * Sandbank: "Well how do you think we feel about it?"
 * Little Sister: Deevorce? What's that?
 * Sandbar: It's when your parents don't love each other anymore and undo their marriage.
 * Little Sister:... MOMMY AND DADDY ARE... SEPARATING?!?
 * Sandbank: Seems so.
 * Little Sister:... (Starts crying)
 * Sandbar: GREAT, NOW SHE'S CRYING!!! Okay, you know what? This is just the worst Hearth's Warming I ever had.
 * Shore: (Sighs) I'm with you, hon.
 * Sandbar: (Sneezes) I can't believe this is happening!! Of all the times my parents had to separate, it's now?! The time of love and accepting?
 * Shore: To be fair, it only came about because it was the only way to save yourselves from ice spirits.
 * Sandbar: Can we not be cynical about this, Shore?
 * Sandbank: I just feel like this whole thing ruined Hearth's Warming for us. Especially my poor little sister. (She was seen crying and drinking her tears in a mug) EWW!!!
 * (Gallus): Why aren't you guys referring to Sandy's family by name aside from Sandbank?
 * (Sandbar): Because canon is a bitch. Sandbank is the only original one whereas canon has yet to reveal the others.
 * Sandbar:... Well as a student of friendship, I will not let that happen. We have to get those two back together.
 * Shore: "I couldn't agree more!"
 * Sandbar: "But we're gonna need help. Where's Rhabdom?"
 * Shore: "Likely with her hive, but she said she'll be busy for awhile because she's trying to introduse Hearth's Warming to them."
 * (Rhabdom) Speaking of...
 * Rhabdom: HYPOGEAN'S FROZEN BALLS!!! IT'S SO COLD DOWN HERE!!! (Shivers as she swam through the caves) I thought they said the caves were warmer!! BUT IT'S ACTUALLY COLDER!!! HOW?!? (She swam out and into a warmer area)... AHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!!! That's better.... And now I have to tinkle. Great.
 * ???: Tell me about it. Warm water is a bitch sometimes. (Homa and Nephro came in)
 * Rhabdom: Oh, hey guys.
 * Nephro: GOD you're pretty.
 * Rhabdom: Don't push it. Also, I may be getting into that Caster, so I'm in the process of becoming someone else's girl.
 * Homa: Sorry, it's just... We became bachelors since the hive was purified. We just can't get enough of color girls. You included.
 * Nephro: BUT COULD YOU BLAME US?!? Color Girl Sea Changelings are so sexy.
 * Rhabdom: Can you just take me to see my friends before I get embarrassed to be seen with you?
 * Homa: Uh, right. Right this way. The holidays you might find surprising here.
 * Rhabdom: Why?
 * Cheli: (Hundreds of small swimming Sea Changeling larvae were seen all over him and Manda)... Ugh, why do Changelings reproduce so numerously?
 * Manda: I think it's the antropod part of us. Antropods are known mass breeders. It's why they're all over the place.
 * Rhabdom: Oh, my, GOOOSH, THEY'RE SO CUUUUUUUTE, I JUST WANNA GOBBLE THEM UUUPP!!!
 * Cheli: RHABDOM!!! Heeey!!
 * Rhabdom:... Parenthood Hell?
 * Cheli/Manda: Parenthood Hell.
 * Rhabdom: "Cha'yeah, sure looks like it to me."
 * Cheli: I blame the warm water.
 * Rhabdom: (Shivers in disgust) So, um, I came to see what you guys planned to do for the holidays.
 * Manda: "....... What's a, Holly Days?"
 * Cheli: "Is this Holly girl impourent?"
 * Rhabdom: "(Makes a surprised face)....... YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT HOLIDAYS ARE?!"
 * Manda: "Your grandfather kept us isolated for a very long time, it's a safe bet we didn't get to know much about anything."
 * Rhabdom: "..... Then you sad clams are lucky I came here wishing to introduse you people to Hearth's Warming?"
 * Cheli: "There's a, "Holly Day", where you warm hearts?"
 * Manda: "Hey, that sounds useful during the colder weather season. How do you do it?"
 * (Gallus was heard laughing his ass off!)
 * (Smolder): "DUDE, (LAUGHS), YOUR HIVE, IS F*****G CLUELESS!?"
 * (Rhabdom): "DON'T PATRONIZE ME?! I'm sure you would be if you never heard about a certain day. We invented a holiday called Slime Day where everychangeling pees on each other."
 * (Gallus):... Seriously? Underwater?
 * (Rhabdom): OF COURSE NOT!!! (Laughs) YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT!!!! YOU SAD FLYING CHICKEN!!! (Laughs)
 * (Gallus): Very funny. VERY funny.
 * (Yona): Did you eventually explain the holidays to them?
 * (Rhabdom): "It was like explaining the future to bronze age people."
 * Rhabdom: Wow. You guys need to be introduced to holidays. They're a time of year where you celebrate anything. Whether through historic events or tradition. Right now we're celebrating what they called 'Hearth's Warming', which is the date Equestria was founded.
 * Manda:... Strange name, though when it has nothing to do with warming hearts- OH, WAIT, DUH, FRIENDSHIP!!!!
 * Cheli: Isn't that the philosophy where all the ponies make out with each other? (A glass shatter sound was heard)
 * (Gallus): PFFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE BEST STORY I EVER HEARD!!! (Laughs hysterically)
 * Rhabdom:... You have officially found a way to make the concept of Equestrian friendship sound repulsive. Congratulations.
 * Manda: Well the name does sound fitting.
 * Rhabdom: Actually it's H-E-A-R-T-H. As in, the floor of a fireplace.
 * Manda:... But we're underwater.
 * Rhabdom:... Oy. Okay, let's start again. HEY KIDDIES!!! (The kids stop) Wanna hear the story of Hearth's Warming? (They all cheered and formed a circle around her)... D'ooohhhh, so cute. Okay. Here we go. A long time ago...
 * (Rhabdom): Well I'd spend much of my time telling the story. As for Sandbar and Shore?
 * Sandbar: I am NOT going back in the freezing water. I already caught a cold last time- AH-CHOO!!!
 * Shore: Well that's pretty much the only way to the hive.
 * Sandbar: Good to know, too late. AH-CHYUUHOO!!!
 * Shore: Well I told you not to come. You don't have to help us.
 * Sandbar: This is my responsibility, Shore. I'm the one who needs to help Mom and Dad. Now we can't get Rhabdom for help.
 * Shore: And with the maze of caves beneath, it'll take forever to find the hive.
 * Sandbar: Yeah. So now what? AH-CHOO! *Sniff*
 * Shore: "Look, just, let me do this on my own. Whilist you make sure your parents aren't drifted further apart."
 * Sandbar: "Shore, I, I don't wanna leave you alone."
 * Shore: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just keep your family from drifting apart, okay?"
 * Sandbar: ".... I'll try. Just, be careful down there, okay?"
 * Shore: "Don't worry, alot of sea life migrated to warmer waters, the oceans here are relitively ghost-towny now. And the hive isn't too far anyway, so, keep your family close, okay. (Sandbar and Shore hugged for abit, then they let go and Shore went right into the ocean and swam off)......"
 * Sandbank arrived.
 * Sandbank: "..... So, what're we gonna do in the meantime?"
 * Sandbar: "..... We keep our parents from wanting to get away from eachother."
 * Sandbank: "...... Actselly bro, until your fish girlfriend comes back, I think I know where we can find intermediate help."
 * Sandbar: "Seaponies are mammals, wiseguy..... But go on."
 * Sandbank: "Well, I heard a lot of rumors that there's this Abyssinian Hermit Crab love guru named Heartshell, that has been known to save marriages in like, super-enlighten ways."
 * Sandbar: "..... Well, aside from the fact he might actually be from Abyssinia's sea equivalent Reefa, we do need something to keep our parents from drifting too far in the meantime, so, why not? Where can we find him?"
 * Sandbank: "Okay, there's like, this Abyssinian Seaport where a colony of Sea Abyssinians reside. It's a sort've, sea trade place."
 * Sandbar: "Well, then let's get going."
 * A sign that read "Welcome to Clam Shores" was seen as Sandbar and Sandbank arrived to the port as sea and marine life Abyssinians including fish people from Klugetown were seen and loads of sail ships were seen.
 * Sandbar: "This place is incredable."
 * Sandbank: Yeah, I'm sure, if you can get past the attitudes and if you don't mind the fishy smell.
 * Shark Guy: Hey, watch it, bub!
 * Sandbank: See what I mean? Some of them from Reefa can be pretty rough.
 * Colorful Fish Guy: Hey, we ain't that rough... We're just unfamiliar with the land.
 * Sandbank: I mean no offense, sir. But could you direct us to Heartshell if you please?
 * Octopus Guy: Oh, he's near the Reefa Transit. Just talk to his agent. But be careful, he's insensitive about his size.
 * Sandbar:... Thanks.
 * A Shrimp was seen wearing an advertisement sign covered in hearts and a picture of a pink bejeweled Hermit Crab.
 * Shrimp: "Come one, come all, to the mighty Heartshell, the all knowing wise guru of love! The savior of marriages. The fixer of romance. And the sexist of crabs!"
 * Sandbank: "Well hey, sounds like we're getting close already. (To the Shrimp) Yo, shrimpy, where's the guru?"
 * Shrimp: "At where he always resides..... His palace, of love. (Points to a giant pink shell sitting at a distent hill not too far from the port.)."
 * Sandbar: "..... I can't believe we missed that on the way here!?"
 * Sandbank: "To be fair, if we hadn't asked prior, we could've thought the shell belonged to a colossal shelled beast. Though even then, that much is still up to debate."
 * Sandbar: "(Cold sniffles), Come on, you blockhead."
 * Sandbar and Sandbank marched on to the giant shell palace."
 * The two brothers arrive and saw a party was taking place as Abyssinian Sea Life was seen dancing to the rythm of a familier song as a Large Coconut Crab and a small Ghost Crab were seen on the stage.
 * Coconut Crab: "(Sounding like Maurice) And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...... The one and only, his exsellencety in love: HEARTSHELL!"
 * Ghost Crab: "(Like Mort) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY?!"
 * Then appeared the same be-jeweled hermit crab like from the shrimp's sign, as he spun in and began singing!
 * Heartshell: "(King Julien-Eqsed Voice) HELLO, PEOPLE'S FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD?! I wanna see the women move their bodies! And when ya move yer body, ya gotta move it nice and sweet and sassy, a'ight?"
 * Sandbar: "...... I, did not expect him to be like this."
 * Sandbank: "(Starts dancing) Aw sweet, yo, we should've brought some chips and dip!"
 * Sandbar:...... Well, he seems busy. We'd better leave him to his so-called love-fest. (Starts dragging Sandbank away) We'll find some other marriage counselor.
 * Heartshell: "(He had heard that)..... DJ, CUT THE MUSIC?! (Record scratch)....... Did I hears, dis-statisfaction?"
 * The crowds moved away from where Sandbar and Sandbank are.......
 * Sandbank: "..... Dude, I think you triggered him."
 * Heartshell: "...... Lawerence, bring me, the dwarf equines."
 * Coconut Crab (Lawerence): "Got ya, your highness. (Goes right where the two were and grabs them, then returns to the stage with them to put them down)."
 * Ghost Crab: "What is wrong, my most handsome guru with your pretty shell and claws?"
 * Heartshell: "Not now, Bart, I'm in serious busy-ness matterings! (Looks at Sandbar and Sandbank)..... So, Dwarf Equines...... What problem do you have with the great love guru Heartshell?"
 * Sandbar: "Oh, uh, it's not we had a problem dude, it's just, we came here looking to have you help us fix our parents' marriage as they are starting to have a devorce, but, we felt that the party was keeping you busy, so, we didn't wanted to-"
 * Heartshell did a stop jesture, then turned to the audience.
 * Heartshell: "My peoples! Once again, I am needed to fix a romance! Talk about working on the holidays, am I right? But it is worth it, to fix, another loving relationship! (The crowds cheer!)"
 * Sandbar: "..... Wow, this is easier then I was expecting."
 * Lawerence picked them, Heartshell and Bart up and placed them on his back.
 * Heartshell: "I am off to fix another dishoveled romance my peoples! Till then, enjoy the party and concessions! And robert, you better not spike the drinks again! (The people cheered as Lawerence)."
 * (Gallus): "..... I'm calling it, the guy turns out to be an incompident yuts! I mean, he's litterally a hermit crab verson of the Lougers' King Julien friend!"
 * (Sandbar):... Lucky guess, but you're half-right.
 * Heartshell: So these two lovefishes broke up because of bad circumstance, eh?
 * Lawrence: Ugh, we've dealt with so many of those it's almost annoying.
 * Bart: Lovers are dummies!
 * Sandbar: Watch it, crabcakes, I'm in a relationship with a seapony.
 * Lawrence: Aww, really? You miss her?
 * Sandbar: Actually we are always on land together- AH-CHOO!!!
 * Lawrence:... Did you get a cold swimming in the ocean IN THE WINTER?! Geez, I've seen a lot of aquaphiles in my day, but you?... You're just the 772nd one to do that.
 * Sandbank:... Well isn't it embarrassing to know that mistake isn't uncommon.
 * Sandbar: Oh shut up.
 * Heartshell: So where to, my friends?
 * Sandbar: Horseshoe Bay.
 * Heartshell: "Horseshoe Bay, huh? I been there once for a summer party! It was a gas! At least until Snakehead Benny showed up and spoiled everything."
 * Sandbar: "Snakehead, Benny?"
 * Heartshell: "Ya know, Snakehead Benny. He's kinda a career criminal jerkpants. He always interupts our parties, takes our money for "Protection", and scares and terrafives people with his dragon sharks."
 * (Little Dipper): "Dragon Sharks? Oh that's freaking metal."
 * (Gaster): Geez, how many more dragon animals are out there? What's next? A Dragon Whale?
 * (Shore): Telling the story here.
 * Sandbank: "Dragon Sharks? But they're the most virtually untameable unsentient dragon/animal spieces in Equestria."
 * Lawerence: "Benny has his ways. They say he does so when he contained a Krakonite Conch Shell from a Krakon ruins he turned into his base of operations, guarded by a private security team of lionfish, scorpianfish, stonefish, even some trench horrors like a black dragonfish or swallowers!"
 * Sandbank: "Well why would he wanna be in there? Krakon stuff is always bad news."
 * Lawerence: "It was said that he became so obcessed with Krakon civilisation and it's objects, that a Mind Flayer came to him and reveiled a lost city to them. Now Benny practically has the market cornered on how much Krakon artifacts he came to own. But the stuff he has currently, aren't enough. He's trying to find more of that stuff. And let me tell ya, even for Snakehead Fish standerds, he is HORRORFYING to look at! It's like those objects made him part krakon now!"
 * Sandbar: "Yikes..... Well, when the holidays are done, we'll see about having the friendship school fix that problem."
 * (Gallus): "..... That Benny guy's gonna give you s*** later down the line, isn't he?"
 * (Sandbar): "Well, at the most, he'll be giving Rhabdom problems, for reasons we already know."
 * (Smolder): "You mean that trident stuff?"
 * (Shore): "Oh yeah, and spoiler alert, he is NOT gonna have a good reaction to discover that it was lost."
 * Heartshell: Well we must go. We have a marriage to mend.
 * Lawrence: Well I guess the Dragon Whale migration coming to the Bay tomorrow will be a good point.
 * Sandbar: Ohh, Dragon Whales! Leviathan Whales don't have anything on them- AH-CHOO!!!
 * (Gaster): AW COME ON!!!!
 * (Shore): So while that was happening, let's see how I was holding up.
 * Shore: (She swam through the sea caves shivering in the cold releasing hot breath mist bubbles) WHERE, IS, THE, HIIIIIIIVE?!? It's cold as hell in here... If it WAS cold. (Gets kelp bushes and wraps them around her until she started itching) GYAH, POISON KELP IVY!!! (Itches crazily and comically)
 * ???: WHO'S THERE?! (Sea Changeling guards came in)
 * Shore: Oh thank Maricolous!
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1:... (Whistles in arousal until the other nudged him)
 * Sea Changeling Guard #2: Mam, are you lost?
 * Shore: I'm cold to the bone, I'm itching from poison kelp ivy, and I'm cranky as a old dragon, so you tell me!! YOU GUYS NEED TO DRAW A MAP OR SOMETHING!!!!
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: We haven't been purified that long, miss.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #2: Yeah. We even get ourselves lost once in a while.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #3: (A very colorful lobster/red rock crab-like Sea Changeling Guard came out from another cave) UGH, WE PASSED THIS KELP BUSH THREE TIMES ALREADY!!!!
 * Sea Changeling Guard #4: Just admit it, Rostrum, we're lost.
 * Rostrum: I AM THE CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD, MAXIL!!! I know what I'm doing. I'm born with an innate sense of direction.
 * Maxil: Rostrum, we've been swimming around in circles and it's freezing in these caves. It's clear you have just as good a sense of direction as I do with being your partner.
 * Rostrum: Just shut up and respect your commanding officer!
 * Maxil: I'm your friend, Rostrum, you don't have to act like a stranger.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #2: See, even our new Captain of the Royal Guard is lost.
 * Shore: You guys do know you can shapeshift, right?
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: Wait, we can shapeshift?
 * Shore:... No wonder Rhabdom wanted to give the holidays to you. You guys are fish out of water.
 * Sea Changeling 2: "I thought we're more like anthropods."
 * Shore:... It's a metaphor.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: Oh... What does it mean?
 * Shore: (Sighs) Never mind. Let's just get back to the hive.
 * Maxil: Well that's what we've been doing if you hadn't noticed.
 * Shore: You really need to put maps in these caves.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #2: Again, we haven't been purified that long. We're still mapping these caves out.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: And yet the mappers GOT LOST FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME!!!
 * Sea Changeling Guard #2: Some of us have been sent to look for them, but, oh, blow me if you don't know what happened to them.
 * Shore: Got lost?
 * Sea Changeling #1: Bingo. And that was LAST MONTH!!!! Ugh! These caves are frustrating!!!!
 * Shore: Your hive is heated, right?
 * Rostrum: Affirmative. It's heated by hydrothermal vents.
 * Shore: Well have you tried following the temperature, like a literal 'getting warmer' thing?
 * Maxil: Oh, believe me, we tried, but everywhere we go it's nothing but cold. Why are these caves so hard to navigate?! Is it because our hive's founders wanted to keep us safe?...... Wait, answered my own question there. Too bad they never thought they'd be on the other side of it.
 * Shore: So what're we going to do?
 * Maxil: We'll think of something.
 * Shore:... Is that really all you got?
 * Maxil: ME AND ROSTRUM ARE JUST NEW TO THIS, OKAY?!
 * Rostrum: Well until we find warmth, let's see if we can put this 'shapeshifting' to good use.... (Shapeshifts into a pony and ends up suffocating as the guards gave him a bubble helmet)... Ugh. Anychangeling else?
 * Maxil: Let me try. (Shapeshifts into a hippogriff and suffocates before getting a bubble helmet)... This is going to be harder than we thought.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: Well we're frozen. Anyone uncomfortable about cannibalism?
 * Shore: (Sighs)..... (Quietly) Maybe these people should consider moving to a less inconvinent place.
 * Rhabdom: And that's how Equestria was made.
 * Manda: "..... The ice spirits sound alittle, far-fetch to me."
 * Rhabdom: I know. I said the same thing. But it's true apparently.
 * Cheli: Sounds like the story was made by a children's book publisher.
 * Rhabdom: Oy, tell me about it. But yeah, since then Equestria has celebrated the event on the same day. Though it got it's own identity thanks to some goddess of gifts and merriment and some magically-blessed reindeer who harnessed her magic and give gifts every Hearth's Warming Eve night to all the good people of the world. They're called Hearth's Reindeer. The School's supposed to teach us about that after the holidays. There's even rumors that a Hearth's Reindeer will be attending our school.
 * Manda: Sounds nice.
 * Larva #1: TELL US ABOUT IT!!! (The larva did that)
 * Rhabdom: Well the details are iffy, but they did tell me some details. Long ago, the Alicorn goddess of gifts and merriment, Queen Gratuity, wanted to give periods of heightened celebration...
 * Sandbar: Well we're here.
 * Heartshell: Hmm. I'll be honest, I liked it better when it was summery. Okay, so, where's a fuedulent couple?
 * The two parents were seen trying to leave at the same time with their seperate suitcases and got stuck on the door.
 * Sandbar's Mom: "OUT OF MY WAY?!"
 * Sandbar's Dad: "YOU FIRST, INCOMPIDENT RULER APOLOGIST?!"
 * Heartshell: "..... Ohhh boy. I did NOT expected this to be THIS bad."
 * Lawerence: "We're gonna have to pull out the stops for this one."
 * Heartshell: Better let me do the talking. (clears throat) Attention, lovebirds! (He caught the attention of Sandbar's parents) I, the Great Love Guru Heartshell, am here to help you forget about the hate and divorce-y business, and get back to loving each other!
 * Sandbar's Dad: ".... A love Guru, wha- (Sees Sandbar and Sandbank)..... (Deadpan) Should've figured you two would behind this."
 * Sandbar: It's for your own good.
 * Sandbar's Dad: Look, son, it's a nice thought, but what happens between your parents should only be our business. You know well enough this disgreement's gonna lead to a trial seperation sooner or later.
 * Sandbar: "Well, it shouldn't have to end because of something as petty as political disagreements!"
 * Heartshell: We'd better be getting started. Lawrence, have my customers be seated.
 * Sandbar's Mom: "Wait wait, we can just get some chaisr out- (Lawerence grabs the two and place them on chairs placed in by Bart)......  Hey, these ain't bad."
 * Sandbar's Dad: "Oh sure, pardon being dragged against your will because at least they give complimentary seats."
 * Heartshell: Bart? Comedy routine. (Bart beat himself up comically) Lawrence? Comedy music. (Lawrence plays Springsteen from a boombox) NONONO, COMEDY MUSIC!!!!
 * Sandbar's Mom: Kids, this is sweet, but it's over. We're moving on. So the least you can do is respect our choice.
 * Sandbank: But-But-But it can't end THIS way! You two would be better than this.
 * Sandbar's Dad: Kids, just let it go. Sometimes things change and there's nothing you can do about it. So just go home. Thanks for trying, though. (They left)
 * Sandbar:... What was that supposed to accomplish? You guys REALLY had to have no tact?
 * Heartshell: We were supposed to be tactful?
 * Sandbar:... Sandbank? Is this some sort of joke?
 * Sandbank: "Hey, I only knew of him from a rumor, I'm not a definitive exbert of the guy!"
 * Lawrence: Actually, he got a little cuckoo as years passed. He's 188 years old after all.
 * Bart: He no good no more, but somehow still good.
 * Heartshell: Subtlety is the key, my little ponies.
 * Sandbar:... Define 'subtlety'.
 * Heartshell: An expert never reveals his secrets.
 * Sandbar: Spoken like a true fraud.
 * Heartshell: WHAT DID YOU F*****G SAY?! I'LL DO IT IN A DAY, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, YOU LITTLE F*****G CHOCOLATE SCOOP?! (Smacks down his hot chocolate) You come at me, you come at me like a f*****g man! (Crawls away)
 * Lawrence:... You do NOT want to challenge him.
 * Bart: It's true.
 * Lawrence: Better go watch over the shellhead. (They left abruptly)
 * Sandbar:... What have we unleashed?
 * Sandbank: "A 100-something year old love guru hermit crab that might be losing his touch yet paradoxingly still has it in a weird way?"
 * Sandbar: "..... Dude, it was RETORITICAL!"
 * (Sandbar): So, yeah, we thought we were screwed... But turns out that incident got the two to think about what their kids would do if they separated. The very thought drove them to subtle tears. So, they ended up wanting to buy each other gifts before the holiday was ready.
 * (Shore): As for me... Well... Since shapeshifting was not an easy option, me and my Sea Changeling tagalongs had to fin it and find the hive ourselves. And DAMN, was it cold hell. (They were seen swimming across frozen icy sea caves)
 * Shore: OH MARICOLOUS' BUBBLE BOOBS, IT'S C-C-C-OLD!!!!
 * Maxil: How about we just hug each other while swimming?
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: What are you, gay?!
 * Maxil: No!! We can share body heat that way.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: See? I knew you were gay!
 * Shore: Ugh. I'm surrounded by simpleton bugs.
 * Rostrum: You better pray to your God that you don't get frozen with us.
 * Shore: Oh I can think of worse ways to die in here.
 * Maxil: Can we pee and use that warmth?
 * Shore: UGH, NO, THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!!!! WHAT KIND OF WATERSPORTS PIT DID YOU CRAWL OUT OF?!?
 * Maxil: Well it's your loss because I need to go bleed the lizard. (Swims off)
 * Shore:...... Rostrum, you have an odd choice of friends, you know that?
 * Rostrum: Sad truth is that's an effective ancient survival tactic for sea beings out in the cold. It's gross but it keeps you warm as long as you wash up afterward.... And sad truth... I need to go too.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: So do I.
 * Sea Changeling Guard #2: I did it a while back.
 * Shore: Ickh. Well, I am not going to touch you after that.
 * Rostrum: You might have to, otherwise you'll freeze to death. Besides, it's washable.
 * Shore:... Ugh, I am going to severely regret this. Oh so gross. (They swam to corners)
 * (Gallus): You seriously did that?
 * (Shore): KIDDING! I only said that to see if you were paying attention! No, we actselly just settled near a heat stone and nothing eventful happened.
 * (Gallus): "...... So, none of that gross and stupid stuff happened with you?"
 * (Shore): "Not, at, all."
 * (Smolder): "WHAT WAS UP WITH THE GROSS-OUT THEN!?"
 * (Shore): "Payback for all the times some of you comment our make-outs as gross."
 * (Gallus): "...... I see what you did there."
 * (Sandbar): And once again you fell for it. You're so stupid. (Laughs)
 * (Rhabdom): "Okay, since nothing eventful really happened to Shore, and to get the fake image of Shore hugging peeded Sea Changelings out of my mind, let's just go back to me, okay?"
 * Rhabdom: And that's the story of Santa Hooves and the Hearth's Reindeer.
 * Cheli: "..... So, there's a guy that breaks into your house and leaves gifts?"
 * Manda: "So, is he considered exchempt for the law, or, is it because of the gift thing that people just lay back and accept it? And why not deliver gifts in a normal way instead of being a reverse prowler and break into people's homes to leave them extra stuff? And those questions also apply to those Hearth Deer."
 * Rhabdom: "Hey keep in mind that alot of this lore dates back to when didn't had the barely active state of tec they do now. It was back in days where Nightus and Heavenslight were still young and before Celestia and Luna were a thing."
 * Cheli: "And for that matter, how does Santa or any of those speical deer for that matter deliver gifts to every single soul? Like, how do they cope with deserts? Are they subject to predators? And how do they deliver gifts to children that live UNDERWATER?! And you expect me to believe that they can do this in a single night? I mean, I know, anichent times lore, but, does it have to sound, unrealistic? I mean, unless they can malmitulate the fabric of time and reality alchourse."
 * Rhabdom: Magic.
 * Manda: ".... Oh, right. I forgot we live in a world where magic's a thing."
 * Cheli: Yeah, unless it's a dodge against consistency.
 * Rhabdom: Well there's about a race's worth of them, and their magic is harnessed from an immortal and their magic thus allows them to be hardy to the environment. And in return for the gift of magic, they share the goodness of gifts and holiday cheer. Over time they seem to enjoy craftsmanship and giving. Though Santa isn't around anymore, they're run by others now.
 * Manda: Yeah, Honbun, so just let it go. It's magic, you don't have to explain it.
 * Rhabdom: So, I came to give that joy to my home.
 * Manda: Well I think it's a great idea. (The larvae cheer in joy)
 * Cheli: Hon, we need to remember that Rostrum and his squad haven't come back. We are going through whale poop mapping these entire caves. It's freezing cold in those caves. If we didn't have emergency heatstones, we'd do something as stupid as hugging each other like gaybos or getting warmth from our own excrement! WE ARE NOT CAVELINGS!!!!
 * Manda: Cheli, chill.... No pun intended. Rhabdom obviously didn't come alone. Surely they'll be back soon. But we can't sit around worrying. I think this hive deserves Hearth's Warming joy. (The larva swim cheerfully)
 * Rhabdom: Awww. Cute little tidbits.
 * Cheli: Yeah, until you get to their less cute phases. (Poop bubbles were heard off-screen, among it happening other times)...... Like that.
 * (Sandbar): Back on the Bay, the Dragon Whale migration was about to begin.
 * (Gallus): "Annnnnnd, what relivence does that have in the story?"
 * (Sandbar): Well it's when Heartshell specified the plan would go on. Obviously me and my siblings didn't think those three loonies would pull it off. But there they were, on the beach together to watch the Dragon Whales.
 * Sandbar: Well, we screwed up our parents' marriage for good. I can just imagine those two are going to go wild.
 * Sandbar's Dad and Mom: (They were teared up looking at many comical photos of their family and Shore)... (The two looked in guilt at each other) I'M SORRY!!! (The two hugged)
 * Sand Siblings: WhaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!
 * Heartshell: My work here is done.
 * Sandbank: HOW?! HOW'D YA PULLED IT OFF!?
 * Heartshell: Elementary. You see, the entire first act was meant to get the two to see the consequences of their divorce. By clarifying to you, they didn't know what would become of you should the divorce occur. The possibilities are undesirable to either. Your daddy wouldn't get to see you all grow up since matriarchy dictates your mommy gets custody. She wouldn't be happy either because of realizing your daddy was just doing it for you guys. Mainly you, Sandy. Thus the two had to go to the migration together and apologize. Divorce prevented, and I get to do the robot. (Does that) I am very clever crab. I am super genius. I am robot king of love-mending things. Compute, compute.
 * (Gallus): "So, Shore going after Rhabdom was a complete waste of time then? And you said that Snakehead Benny was gonna become an issue later, where did HE go?"
 * (Shore): "Well......."
 * Pwned security forces were seen everywhere.
 * An Anthro Snakehead with pertruding tenticles coming out of his body arrived to the aftermath of his defeated forces.
 * Snakehead: "..... OKAY, WHAT, THE FUCK, HAPPENED TO MY SECURITY?!"
 * ???: "Do you really wish to have that question answered, tall, dark and fugly?"
 * (Gallus): "Ugh, it's Fu-Xi, isn't it?"
 * (Sandbar): "Don't worry, it's something different this time."
 * A female seapony swam in.....
 * Seapony: "..... In the name of my ancestry in Aurora, I, Cleanse Water, am here to send another Krakonite stash of relics back into the Helluland Trench. Your crimes are over, Benny."
 * Snakehead Benny: "OH WAIT A MINUTE, HOW THE F*** DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE?!"
 * Cleanse: "A very large cobra gave me some very good directions in when to find this place."
 * (Gallus): "Okay, so, this is somehow still Fu-Xi's doing, he's just not the one doing it?"
 * (Smolder): "Sounds like it to me."
 * Snakehead Benny: "Well, if you think I'm just gonna stand here and let you f*** up my s***..... (Pulls out a conch shell with tattoos of squids on it)..... Then you're mistaken, bitch."
 * Cleanse tail-smacks the conch shell away!
 * Snakehead Benny: "HEY LET ME FINISH?!"
 * Cleanse: "BEGONE FROM MY OCEAN, FOUL INFECTED BEAST?!"
 * Cleanse began to channel a spell that opened a portal to the Helluland Trench as all of Snakehead Benny's items got sucked in, including the conch, as suddenly, Benny found himself getting sucked in as well!
 * "I did it my way" was heard playing.....
 * Snakehead Benny's voice: "(As a quick flashback plays) And now, the end is near-"
 * Snakehead Benny: "OHALICORNGODSDAMNIT- (Screams as he gets sucked into the portal)."
 * The portals closed up......
 * Stonefish security guard 1: "....... Does this mean we're not getting paid?"
 * Cleanse: "Worse then that. I'm getting the proper athorities involved, you sad money grubbers. And once you bunch are out of the way, I'll see to it that these ruins will be qurrentied away from the world for good."
 * Lionfish Security Guard 1: "...... D'oh, my sister was right. I should've stayed in Trout University."
 * (Gallus scoffed bemused by that).
 * Cleanse: "Then for you, I hope some time in prison will grant an opperunity to revaluate your current path."
 * Scorpianfish Security Guard 1: "Wait, about about those sea changelings that live in a maze-like cave that is also sitting on the same ruins that has the lost Krakonite Trident, wouldn't you be after that as- (Gets tail-whipped by Cleanse) OW?!"
 * Cleanse: "I was getting to that."
 * (Smolder): "And let me guess, that was how Shore met her?"
 * (Shore): You know, if you keep foreshadowing like that, you'll just keep ruining the story. But basically yes.
 * (Gallus): Oy. Do any of you guys get to meet the other relic users in your stories? Or at the very least their descendants?
 * (Shore): STOP SPOILING POTENTIAL PARTS!!!!! Let's just get back to the story.
 * Shore: I'm so glad you you guys have emergency heatstones. We totally avoided any gross stuff.
 * Rostrum: Oh yeah, that totally spared us from having to use anichent practices, or any gay stuff. But I have been drilling these literal maggots to use the stones more often than naught. They're just too stupid to use them, and the idea of using our own excrement for warmth like the ancient days was where I drew the line. It's bad enough you dopes are morons, but did you also have to be GROSS?!
 * Sea Changeling Guard #1: Give us a break, sir, we're new to this!
 * Rostrum: I want no excuses. I want some improvement by the time we find the hive. Is that understood?
 * Sea Changeling Guards: Yes sir.
 * Shore: Rostrum, you really should give them a break.
 * Rostrum: Don't encourage them, they'll never learn if you do.
 * ???: "Excuse me?"
 * Cleanse arrived.
 * Cleanse: "I couldn't help but notice you bunch were lost. Fortunately, my innate sense of direction allows me to navigate these sorts of caves with no issue. I'm here to quarantine the Krakonite Ruins found not too far from the likelihood of a Sea Changeling hive to cut off the ruins away from those that would mistreat it's dangerous relics. Thing is, there can't be residence found near the ruins, so, your hive may have to consider moving somewhere else...."
 * Rostrum: "..... Ordinarily, I get defensive at the idea of forced relocation, but, F*** IT?! The caves were fine back when we wanted to avoid people, but now that we're getting along with others, it's just a confusing and cold clusterf*** of bad times?! I think we're better off moving to that nice coral cave not too far from Shore's town, Am I right?"
 * The Changeling Guards exclaim in agreement!
 * Guard 1: "Like you wouldn't believe?!"
 * Guard 2: "What did our ancestors see in this place anyway?!"
 * Guard 3: "Yeah, screw ansisterial heritage, let's move somewhere nice!"
 * Shore: "(Sighs), I now kinda wish I thought of getting you involed to begin with, Ms. Cleanse."
 * Rostrum: You know this girl?
 * Shore: Well, more like I just heard a lot about her. I also reckitnised her from the classes in the Friendship School. That helps a lot. Anyway, she's the descendant of Aurora, a hippogriff who could use an amulet to control tides. She used it to defeat the dreaded Kraken fanatic Squirk. Now her descendant Cleanse Water here is fulfilling her sworn familial oath to dispose of any other Kraken relics that could be used for evil. She even defeated a Mindflayer with her hippogriff magic ability to be immune to environmental elements. She must be here for the Krakonite Trident.
 * Cleanse: I am. But first, who are you?
 * Shore: I'm Shore Joy. I came in here to ask for a sea changeling friend's help in stopping a divorce of my boyfriend's parent, but they likely ended up resolving the problem by themselves while I ended up getting lost in these stupid caves with a collection of stoogy guards! And his parents were fighting over things related to me and Queen Novo..... I feel like I did ABSOLUTELY nothing to help. Now likely, I would end up going back there with Rhabdom in tow, and end up discovering that I didn't even NEED to get Rhabdom involved at all!"
 * Cleanse: "Well, you know, you could've just as easily sought out Heartshell, the eccentric love guru. He's effective at fixing a relationship turmoil..... In his own, unorthodox way."
 * Shore: ".... (Face-finhoof) WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?! HECK, EVEN SANDBANK COULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT!! AND HE'S USUALLY A VERY ABSENT-MINDED PONY?! HECK, THEY LIKELY GOT HIM INVOLVED WHILE I GOT STUCK HERE WITH THESE CLOWNFISH!!"
 * Guard #3: "Clownfish? I love those little things, they're so cute."
 * Rostrum: "She's referring to us after how much we wasted her time, dumbass."
 * Shore: "Ughhh, I'm gonna look like an idiot because I tried to get Rhabdom involved for nothing. For all I know, she would've had her hooves tied getting her hive to enjoy the holidays anyway! I should've stayed with Sandbar and figured to get to Heartshell from the start! I'm a terrorable girlfriend?!"
 * Rostrum: "Hey come now, you weren't being a bad girlfriend..... You just had bad planning. So at best, that just makes you incompident."
 * Cleanse: "AHEM?! Perhaps, let ME tend to the poor girl's woes?"
 * Rostrum: "Oh, uh, sure..... Oh, and uh, before we go-"
 * Cleanse: "You go three lefts, two rights, the 3rd tunnel in a donut part of the tunnel, and a north-west direction passed the decaying corpse of a giant bobbit worm."
 * Rostrum: "..... IT WAS THAT EASY?! UGH?! SO GLAD THIS IS THE LAST HOLIDAY SPENT IN THIS STUPID CAVE?! COME ON, GANG?! (The guards swam off)."
 * Shore: "(Was seen shedding some bubble tears)...... Sandbar's gonna be upset with me that I did nothing to help and that I didn't even needed to get to Rhabdom at all."
 * Cleanse: It is not your fault. Bad planning is nothing to be ashamed of. I could use your help finding the Trident, though.
 * Shore: Yeeeeah, about that...
 * Cleanse: (As Shore and the others sigh in warmth) I must see this Rhabdom friend of yours to see if your story of disposing of the Trident is true.
 * Shore: Seems fair, I suppose. Given the likely events on the surface, I'm sure they can wait for Queen Novo to show up. Maricolous knows that Sandbar's father has a lot to get out of his chest, if he even wants to do so anymore after how it almost lead to a devorce.
 * Cleanse: I'm sure. Where is this Rhabdom person?
 * Shore: I'd check out the royal chambers. Cheli and Manda must have a lot on their plates since they're probably parents now.
 * ???: "Hey, Shore!"
 * Rhabdom's parents showed up!
 * Rhabdom's Father: "We didn't know you were coming!"
 * Shore: "Hey Mr. and Ms, uh, Rhabdom's parents."
 * Rhabdom's Mother: "What brings you here? I kinda figure you would spend the holidays with Sandbar."
 * Shore: "Long story short, we kinda need to talk to Rhabdom about something."
 * Rhabdom's father: "Well she was in the chambers, but now she's setting up the first ever Hearth's Warming feast in the Cuddly Memorial at the temple. (Solumly) She uh..... She really mised Cuddly. He was her grandfather, but, well, messing with that Trident resulting in him dying out cause that trident was connected to him and, well, when it was thrown back to the Helluland, welp, that's all she wrote."
 * Rhabdom's mother: "It was a miracle that Tree prevented us from being dragged with him as zombielings and restored us back to life. Still..... She still hasn't let go what happened to him one bit."
 * Cleanse: So you DID take care of the Trident. Excellent. Saved me a lot of time.
 * Rhabdom's Father: Who're you?
 * Cleanse: Cleanse Water. I came for the Krakonite Trident and was told it was already disposed of.
 * Rhabdom's Mother: Yes. Though it took Cuddly's death and Rhabdom's magical grieving tears to completely purge Kraken magic from the hive and purify us all. Here friends then became the new rulers after Cheli confessed he was in love with Manda. They now have too many kids and they're living in parental hell.
 * Cleanse: I see. Then I suppose I'm not needed here.
 * Shore: I wouldn't really say that. We'd hate to have wasted your time, so maybe you can stay with us, help Rhabdom bring Hearth's Warming to the hive, and even help move the hive out? You really look like you could use a break.
 * Cleanse:... Very well. But only because I must clear up any remaining Kraken remnants in the cave.
 * Rhabdom's Mother: Take your time, darling.
 * (Shore): So we went to the hive and took a look at what Rhabdom had done with the place.
 * Manda: Isn't it amazing? Equestria has rubbed off very well on Rhabdom.
 * Cleanse: Well it may be the only holidays spent in this cave because for your own safety it may have to be relocated.
 * Cheli: What?!
 * Rostrum: Hey, it may sound like a lot to ask, but-
 * Cheli: F*** THIS CAVE!!!! (The larvae look confused at him)... You kids don't mind me, okay? (The larvae agreed and swam away)
 * Shore: Awwwwwww, those kids of yours are so adorable!
 * Cheli: Well not for us, but yeah. F*** this cave! It's hell down here. We are just going to be alien to the outside anyway and these vents are not very good sources of heat. Do you even know what's in those smoky jets? DO YOU?!
 * Shore: Mostly sulfuric substances. Why do you think it smells like rotten eggs here?
 * Cheli: Whatever. If you can help us get this hive out of here, that'd be great.
 * Shore: "Well, there is a near-by coral cave not too far from my hometown."
 * Cheli: "Coral caves aren't much, but at least it's someplace simple. Granted, it'll have to be adjusted to fit needs when seasons like winter hit, but, it's a start."
 * Manda: "Yeah, I agree, as much as this cave does have a historic backing, it's not exactly convinent to having visitors over. If Miss Cleanse says that we have to be out of here cause of the Kraken stuff, then who am I to complain? We would have to take the memorial plauge with us so is to not leave behind Cuddly's memory."
 * Cheli: "However, let's save the move after we celebrate Hearth's Warming. It would at least be nice to give a final harrah to this old dump before we leave it."
 * Cleanse: "Very well. With the trident gone, I am not in that great of a rush to qurritine the cave. I'll even aide in moving your things come holiday's end."
 * Shore: "Good to know. Now, I'm off to see Rhabdom."
 * (Rhabdom): So we eventually met in the Tube Worm Park.
 * Rhabdom: (She was decorating the entire park filled with giant tube worms and polychaetes with Hearth's Warming decorations and a giant kelp tree) Perfecto.
 * Shore: Yecch. This kind of scenery doesn't seem suitable for a seapony. Then again, who am I to judge a crustaceous race?
 * Cleanse: Sea Changelings are more comfortable around other invertebrates and dark areas like trenches or sea caves. These giant tube worms are a common decorative invertebrate. But just be careful. They don't like outsiders. And they also don't like being teased. (A young Sea Changeling kept touching the red parts of the tube worms as they keep detracting amusing the child until they all sprout at once releasing massive blasts of bubbles scaring the child away)
 * Shore:... Noted. (An entire bunch of tube worms scare her by retracting rapidly while massive flurries of bubbles erupt from them)
 * Rostrum: Calm down. This is just to scare you off. They're relatively harmless, but they will infect you with the bacteria they share a symbiosis with. In fact they're why we haven't suffered sulfuric poisoning from the hydrothermal vents. They balance the amounts of it. But we must respect that aid. Best if you stay clear. (Shore nods yes as the tube worms face her ominously)
 * Rhabdom: Shore? What're you doing here?
 * Shore: I came because we had a little situation that probably took care of itself. Sandbar's parents were getting divorced and I was going to come to get help from you. But it's likely they got help from this love guru guy and my time spent in these caves were wasted.
 * Rhabdom: Well that sucks.
 * Shore: What about you? What's kicking?
 * Rhabdom: Profound. I'm decorating the park for the first Hearth's Warming Party in the hive. Sure the crabs, worms, octopi, fish, and snails are giving me a hard time, but- (A bobbit worm caught her leg) GAH, UGH, YOU A-HOLE!!! (Kicks it away)... But it's doing great.
 * Maxil: What about those Pompeii worms over there? (Pompeii worms were seen nibbling up decorations)
 * Rostrum: Or those scalyfoots? (Scaly-footed gastropods slither slime across some decorations)
 * Shore: Aaand the yeti crabs (Yeti crabs were seen shredding up decorations)
 * Rhabdom:... Ugh. Sclerite, you had to have a family reunion away from the park you keep?
 * Maxil: (As a rattail fish swam to him) Hey, once you get past that, they're really cute. (He couldn't pet the rattail before it swam away in panic)
 * Rhabdom: You kidding? Sclerite was the one keeping these critters under control. Now they wake up at the very worst time. (A white octopus covered her face) PLUBUBUUURP!!!!! *SPLURT* Mmmmmmmmph!!!!! (Tears the octopus off as her face was covered in ink) PLEH, PLEH!!!!! WHAT DID IT DO THAT FOR?!?
 * Maxil: I think it confused your head for food.
 * Rhabdom: Oh sure. You'd think those rats with tentacles would've teased others at this point. Ugh. I'm seriously starting to reconsider this whole party.
 * Shore: "Actselly, it could be because that now you are becoming friendlier with Seaponies, living in a cave meant for secret hiding has started to wear you down."
 * Rhabdom: "...... Yeah, as much as I do have good memories here and how grandpa had his heart set to the place, I'm not afraid to admit that any charm it had in those times, faded away when you consider recent events."
 * Shore: I coup say the same. If I didn't know what these creatures were, I'd say I was on an alien planet.
 * Rhabdom: Puhleeze. This park unsupervised makes Earth life shame alien planets.
 * Rostrum: Should I call animal control?
 * Maxil: ROSTRUM!!!
 * Rostrum: What? They're just animals. They'll be safe and sound afterward and never know what happened.
 * Shore: Ugh, I wish Fluttershy was here.
 * Cleanse: Allow me. (Clears throat and sings a siren song that pacifies the animals into actually decorating in a much greater scale)
 * Rhabdom: Holy s***arroni!
 * Cleanse: I have learned how to tame animals with a song. It helps to curb them if they're out of control.
 * Rhabdom: Well you could've done that earlier.
 * Cleanse: I believe the animals can take the decorating from here.
 * (Rhabdom): And to my surprise, they actually did far better than I expected. Hell, THEY DECORATED THE ENTIRE HIVE ALL IN ONE NIGHT!!!!
 * (Gaster):... WOW, that is a lot to buy, man. THAT, IS A LOT, TO BUY!!!
 * (Silverstream): One night? They decorated the hive in one night? Holy Decked Halls, that's impressive.
 * (Shore): Yep. And the Party was ready earlier than expected. (They were seen celebrating in comical ways)
 * (Sandbar): And as for me? (He and his family sat watching the moaning gracious Dragon Whales)
 * Sandbar's Father:... You know? We're definitely better together.
 * Sandbank: Agreed. You two just can't seem to drift apart without thinking about how it'll make us feel. I guess all that we need to do is watch the Dragon Whales fly by and wait for Novo to show up.
 * Sandbar: Finally. After so long, I can be a seapony. I won't have to worry about drowning again... AH-CHOO!!... *Sniff*
 * Sandbar's Sister: (Giggles) You're so funny sometimes.
 * Sandbar: I get that a lot. (They sat watching the Dragon Whales)
 * (Sandbar): She did eventually show up. And Shore and Rhabdom showed up with Cleanse.
 * Novo: Sorry if I was almost close to being late, Sandbar. I had some last minute matters to deal with back home. The impourent thing is that I can finally deliver a very due gift. Skystar?
 * Skystar: Eeeeee!! (Gave him a pearl necklace excitedly) TRY IT!! MY COUSIN HAS BEEN DYING FOR THIS MOMENT!!!
 * Sandbar: (He put it on and he transforms into a seapony)...... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!
 * Shore: MY PRECIOUS SANDY!!! (They hug and kissed)
 * Sandbar's Father: "..... Novo, I just have a few things to say to you."
 * Sandbar's Mother: "(Quietly) Oh Celestia damn it, really?!"
 * Sandbar's thoughts: "Crap!"
 * Shore: "(Face-finhoof)."
 * Sandbank: "Welp, nice while it lasted."
 * Novo: "(Quietly) Alchourse, this genius had to go and ruin eveyrhting. (Openly) Look, because it's the holidays, I won't backpeddle on a nice gift for YOUR son just because you desided to spit venom my way like an angry sea krait, but all the same, can't you at least save the stupid complaints WHEN AFTER the holidays are over? Otherwise, it just soils the moment."
 * Sandbar's Father: "Actselly, I was going to say..... (Brings out a clam with a beautiful pearl in it) Happy Hearth's Warming."
 * Everyone was surprised......
 * Novo: "....... Wow, you..... (Takes the pearl)...... You actselly gave me a gift. That is, very unlike someone as opinionated as you about everything."
 * Sandbar's Father: "Well, because, I realised that complaining about the should'ves and would'ves just makes you a bitter, miserable person. And I was gonna lose my marriage because I got too passionate about some silly opinions. As much as my pride hates me for this, for now on, I'll apprisiate the good you are doing and keep my mouth shut about any, mis-steps, along the way. Cause, not alot of good happens from complaining about what should've been done if it just soils a marriage with a great mare and ruin a great family. Also, like you said, it's the holidays, it's a time where you're suppose to forget about personal and universeal woes. Also, about that offer to complain afterwords? Pass. I desided that, whatever what I was gonna say, you likely already heard from so many other mouths that, I don't think I would offer much of a unigte spin other then how it effected my son's life with Shore. So, my other gift, is me not being apart of that ongoing controverseal headache. May you eventually wash that away one day."
 * Sandbar's Mother: "........ Honey, I...... I'm proud of you. (Hugs him)."
 * Sandbar: "....... Dad, giving up on complaing about Novo?..... Well, this IS a Hearth's Warming Miricle!"
 * Novo:... I had no idea the incident with Princess Twilight had more of a nasty impact than I thought.
 * Treasure: (He arrived with other seaponies) Oh, you would not believe the number of romances cut short because of your controversey, Novo.
 * Waterspout: Well yeah. What ya did was really a biiii... (Sees Sandbar's Little Sister)... Jerk move. Twilight trying to steal from you wasn't smart and neither was yours. Granted, I wouldn't act rationally if someone was stealing from me, but I'd react in a way that doesn't unintentionally help the Storm King win.
 * Skystar: It's probably best if we drop the subject entirely. Mom's already getting ready to go on her friendship crusade across the seas, and we would like some holiday joy after dealing with Drybutt
 * (Caster):... You have got to be crapping me.
 * (Silverstream): Nah, that's the obstacle in my story.
 * (Caster):... It's official. Coincidence IS too coincidental.
 * (Yona): Pardon my Louger-Speak, but, it's a cartoon, what did you expect?
 * Shore: Well glad we cleared up the-... Any elephants around?
 * Heartshell: Why would there be?
 * Shore: Good. Glad we cleared the elephant in the room.
 * Novo: Well I'm just glad after all the crap in Mount Aris, I finally got this for you. Now you two can be together forever.
 * Shore: Thank you, your highness.
 * Treasure: Well I suppose there's one thing left to do. HAVE A ROCKING HEARTH'S WARMING!!! (All three races celebrate until being accompanied by the Sea Changelings whose hive popped into the coral caves nearby the seapony village)
 * Polarity: "Awww, what a happy ending from a story that, admitingly, kinda gave me mix messages."
 * Caster: "...... No seriously, there's actselly a dude named "Drybutt"?"
 * Silverstream: "I guess now we can get into MY story."
 * The train to Mount Aris arrived as Silverstream leaves the train as she was filled with glee and closed eyes.
 * Silverstream: "The Three Days of Freedom Celebration, here I- (Opens eyes and sees entirely different decorations)....... Am?..... Where's the Three Days of Freedom Celebration decorations? What up with all the weird decorations of, sky flowers, clouds, and air fresheners?"
 * Greeter Hippogriff: "Happy Sky Day."
 * Silverstream: "Sky Day?! Like, the holiday from the Pure Hippogriff homelands?! But Mount Aris hasn't celebrated that holiday in ages ever since the St- (The Greeter Hippogriff panicedly covered her mouth while still maintaining his exaggerated smile) MMM?!"
 * Greeter Hippogriff: "(Quietly) They're, watching us?! (Some stern looking regel-armored guards were seen.)"
 * Silverstream: "Mmm? (The greeter let's go) (Quietly) Who are those guys?"
 * Greeter Hippogriff: "(Quietly) Soldiers, from the Embessy of the homeland."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Well why are they here? (Deadpan, still quietly) Did Aunt Novo pull another stupid stunt?"
 * ???: "AHEM!"
 * The Greeter Hippogriff paniced as a short and stalky Hippogriff with Glasses was seen!
 * Greeter Hippogriff: "Assistent Dryspell, I, I was only welcoming Silverstream! She is Novo's niece, ya know."
 * Dryspell: "Now that's fine and dandy and all, but remember the rule, Only Greet, Cut the Chatter."
 * Greeter Hippogriff: "Of course, of course. (Nerviously walks off resuming the greeting duty)."
 * Dryspell: "Hiya, Miss Silverstream. Have you came back for an enjoyable Sky Day?"
 * Silverstream: "I came back for the The Three Days of Freedom Celebratio- (The Soldiers pointed weaponry at her) EEP?!"
 * Dryspell: "(Gentle Chuckle), Sorry about that. The soldiers are highly reactionary. At ease, troops, this is a false alarm. (The the soldiers back off).... Considering that you were away, it was only fair to assume that you didn't get the memo. You see, Sir Skybutt of the embessy, has declared that it's time for Mount Aris to stop worrying about that silly Storm King stuff and stop celebrating a holiday about a close call and go back to the traditional holiday of our people, Sky Day."
 * Silverstream: "But, all we do on that holiday is having flight races, a feast, an hour long pray and nothing else. Not even presents."
 * Dryspell: "Now now, Silverstream. Giving gifts is an act of materialisum, and the Hippogriff Kings and Queens of old frown on that practice because it would risk encouraging our inner griffins and make us greedy."
 * Silverstream: "Ugh, we're bringing that old myth into this as well?! What right do you and Drybutthead have to suddenly come here and-"
 * Dryspell: "We're the embessy, deary. We have power and athority over all would be Hippogriff colonies. And Sir Drybutt simply felt that the holiday in question, "The Three Days of Freedom Celebration", doesn't seem approbeate to Hippogriff culture. He believes that Hippogriffs became too much like our seapony neightbers and lost their ways. We're only trying to fix that. So, have a nice Sky Day. (Flew off)."
 * Silverstream: "...... Pardon my inner Gaster, Smolder and/or Gallus, but, WHAT THE F***!?"
 * Dryspell's voice: "Languise is very unbecoming of Pure Hippogriffs, for it also encourages inner griffins and make us crass and crude."
 * (Silverstream): "So obviously, I went to confront Aunt Novo about this."
 * Silverstream: "(Storms into Novo's throwneroom as a Seapony) AUNTIE NOVO, THERE'S SOME MEAN HIPPOGRIFFS TAKING AWAY OUR THREE DAYS OF FREEDOM HOLIDAY AND REPLACING IT WITH BORING OLD SKY DAY?! THERE WERE THESE MEAN SOLDIERS THAT POINTED SHARP THINGS AT ME, THERE WAS THIS WEIRD LITTLE GUY WHO IS ALL ABOUT RULES AND MYTHS, THE GREETER ACTED NERVIOUS AROUND HIM, AND HE SAID THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE THE EMBESSY OWNS THE COLONIES, AND-"
 * Novo: "Silverstream, calm down! Look, I'm sorry about that, but, there's little I can do. Drybutt is VERY insistent on this. He wants us to forget about moving to the ocean because of the Storm King and make us appresiate the skies again."
 * Silverstream: "But we have plently of Hippogriffs that still like the skies! JUST ASK MY DAD?!"
 * Novo: "Well the fact that those of us came to enjoy the waters more felt too much for Drybutt."
 * Silverstream: "...... WHY IS DRYBUTT DOING THIS?!"
 * Novo: "I think it's best if you ask him yourself. He's nesting himself at the top of the mountain talking it out with your father and Seaspray about setting up the Sky Day Cloud Tree."
 * Silverstream: "The SKY DAY CLOUD TREE?! Ugghhhhhhhh! That's the most strenuious part of Sky Day! Those stupid things are HARD to keep togather and can be dangerious to do if you ended up picking a storm cloud! Ya know what? I am going to confront Drybutt about this! (Zooms off before Novo could stop her)....."
 * Skystar: "...... She didn't even asked about Sandbar's present."
 * Silverstream's voice: "I'LL GET TO THAT LATER?!"
 * (Silverstream): "And that was when I was going to confront a prissiest of the priss, and the spoilsport ot end all spoilsports..... I, was going to meet, Sir Drybutt."
 * Seaspray and Sky Beak were walking with a new hippogriff in a monicle, regel attire and long robes.
 * Seaspray: "Now, I don't protest the idea of getting Sky Day back in working order, but, A SKY DAY CLOUD TREE?! Those things are hard to maintain in that shape?!"
 * Sky Beak: "And that a storm cloud mistakeningly placed in one, which is a VERY EASY TO MAKE KIND OF MISTAKE, is enough to ruin everything. Sir Drybutt, listen to reason-"
 * Sir Drybutt: "Gentlemen, my mind is made up. I am going to get Hippogriffs to celebrate a PROPER Sky Day tradition and get Hippogriffs away from the water and back to the glorious skys we belong to!"
 * Seaspray: "And, we don't object to this, but, don't you think a Sky Day Cloud Tree is abit too extreme for Hippogriffs still unused to the holiday for a good while now? Maybe that should wait until the colony gets abit more exspearienced with a few years under it's belt-"
 * Sir Drybutt: "NO!? The tradition STRICTLY dictates that a Sky Day Cloud Tree is the ultamate tribute to the Kings and Queens of Hippogriffs' Past and honor their spirits to encourage safe, storm-free skies!"
 * Seaspray: "...... You don't actselly believe those silly outdated AND proven debunked myths, do you?"
 * Sir Drybutt: "Don't question the Kings and Queens of old! They'll punish naysayers!"
 * Sky Beak: "Okay, be honest, is all this about your aquaphobia?"
 * Sir Drybutt: "They also FROWN at unjust accusations, Sky Beak! Now, I want this Sky Day Cloud Tree ready by the time of the great feast of the Sky's Bounty! And I want only THE best clouds. Am I clear, gentlemen?"
 * Seaspray/Sky Beak: "But-"
 * Sir Drybutt: "I SAID AM I CLEAR?!"
 * Seaspray: "...... Only, because you seem insistent on it."
 * Sky Beak: "(Sighs)..... Don't say you weren't warn when this comes crashing down on us."
 * Sir Drybutt: Good. But I expect not to have this conversation again. You're dismissed. (They left)
 * Silverstream: (She burst in angry) WHERE'S SIR DRYBUTT?!
 * Sir Drybutt:... Silverstream.
 * Sky Beak: SILVY?!
 * Silverstream: I want answers out your beak, and right now! (Guards point spears at her as she just snapped them unamused)...
 * Sir Drybutt:... (Sighs) Very well. But you will not interfere with this decision afterward.
 * Silverstream: Nocreature tells me what to do except my aunt or Twilight.
 * Sir Drybutt: YOU WILL RESPECT- (Silverstream slammed her claws down)
 * Silverstream: I SAID YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!! Don't escalate this, SIR!! Talk!
 * Sir Drybutt:... I will not take this disrespect.
 * Silverstream: Oh, I think you will. Because if you don't, I will assume you're hiding something sinister and get Princess Twilight. (She grabs him by the robe) So you will tell me why you cancelled the Three Days, or- (Drybutt grabbed her arm as it burned with steam and she screamed as her arm feathers fell off and her arm was dried up)
 * Sky Beak: SILVERSTREAM!!!
 * Sir Drybutt: I'll tell you only once. You will not disrespect me or my decisions after this explanation, and THAT is why. My magic ability is to evaporate away any water I touch, WHICH INCLUDES THE WATER IN YOUR BODY!!! You cross me, I will dehydrate you in seconds. This very ability saved my life.
 * (Sir Drybutt): During a powerful hurricane, I was blown out of my return from a business trip, into a sea cave. (He plunged underwater and hit a wall gushing bubbles from his beak and got air after the water lowered briefly and he got out of the water unable to fly due to his wet wings falling back in the water constantly gasping for air) The storm wasn't merciful. The tides were going mad. (Drybutt struggled to get out until eventually being pushed by currents too deep to reach the surface and gave up with one last gush of bubbles until steamy bubbles occurred as he quickly took notice and found an air pocket which he went for with a heavy gasp) The water I was touching was evaporating in my presence. (Drybutt got determined and evaporated more of the water as the entire cave leaked with steam until it was all out and he shook himself dry and puffed up his feathers)... That was the first time I used my magic ability. Water could no longer touch me. (Water slithers and gushes towards him)
 * Sir Drybutt: BEGONE!! (The water actually stopped as he evaporates away a path to leave, leaving behind piles of sea salt)
 * (Sir Drybutt): I almost died that day. But I would have if I hadn't developed my ability. Now water was afraid of me.
 * (Seaspray): But a bittersweet miracle. He's now scared of the water just as much as it is to him.
 * (Sir Drybutt): SILENCE! Anyway, after the Storm King, I refused to join the cowardly queen in the home of their underwater allies. Instead, I spent the entire time in the nearby Basalt Beaches surviving on my own. But when news broke of the Storm King's death and I returned an embassy once more, I was appalled at what I saw. Hippogriffs living underwater, seaponies living on land, completely desecrating the original hippogriff kingdom like water on toilet paper by forgetting Mount Aris exists to curb the Hippalectryons. It was unacceptable and disrespectful to hippogriffs everywhere.
 * Sir Drybutt: So I did what had to be done to remind everyhippogriff their place. I banned the Three Days forever, and banned anything regarding the seaponies. Pearl necklaces are forever outlawed and forbidden to be traded to any race including non-hippogriffs.
 * Silverstream:... So all this, IS BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED OF THE WATER?!?
 * Sir Drybutt: No. It's about Mount Aris not wasting it's job by water games and respecting it's point of existing. Being afraid of the water simply allowed me to see that. The alliance between hippogriffs and seaponies is over.
 * Silverstream: WHO GIVES YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE THAT?!
 * Sir Drybutt: Why, I do. If you don't like it, talk to the hand. (Shows his evaporating talon).
 * Silverstream: "Ya know, I could simply just get Twilight involved in this, and if you have the nerve to refuse her, then Celestia gets involved, and if you refused her, HER PARENTS get involved, and trust me, they don't bow to assholes like you so easily?!"
 * Sir Drybutt: "LANGUISE?!"
 * Sky Beak: "Silverstream, I never known you to CUSS like that before!"
 * Seaspray: "Well, then either she hangs out with that Griffin, she dragon or that male changeling too much, or Drybutt must've REALLY pushed her buttons by undering the Three Days."
 * Silverstream: "CONSIDERABLY BOTH?!"
 * Sir Drybutt: "...... You know, tecnecally, your own aunt DID banish Princess Sparkle."
 * Seaspray: "Of which, mind you, that no Hippogriff takes seriously."
 * Sir Drybutt: "Well given how incompident a ruler Novo is, that's not TOO surprising. That's why, I'll take over in enforcing that banishment. Starting effectively, Mount Aris will be cut off from inter-acting with the Ponies, the train station will be closed, and present ponies will be deported back to their home origins. Doing this will make the banishment on Sparkle, more enforceable. That why, neither she, nor the princess, nor even the two serious Alicorn Gods, would meddle in my affairs. That means, any ties you would have to Sparkle, are severed! Even that school! Speaking of which..... Consider yourself no longer part of that False Alicorn's misguided attempt to fix the world with a silly education program based around kinship! It was unbecoming of a Hippogriff, nevermind a member of royalty, even if of zero heir status, TO EVER consort with outsiders! (Silverstream was utterly desistated by this proclaimination!)"
 * Silverstream: "....... You, can't, DO THAT?!"
 * Sir Drybutt: "By law of the Hippogriff Embessy, I can! We can deside the fate of Hippogriff Colonies. Now, I think we're done here. Guards, eschort Silverstream into the time-out roost with other naughty Hippochicklings."
 * Sky Beak: "(Stops the Embessy Guards) No need..... I'll, just take her back to her mother. You already hurt her enough. (To Silverstream) Come on, Silverstream, we'll, we'll return to mother. (Leaves with her)....."
 * Seaspray: "..... Your aware that you brought harm and mental woe to a member of the SAME royal family, correct?"
 * Sir Drybutt: "Remember that the Embessity outranks rulers of colonies. And even as a Queen of Hippogriffs, she doesn't have enough respect from the homeland to ever outrank me. So even if your ballsy enough to inform her of this, don't expect her to do anything other then throw a brief fit. You know as well as she does, that the Embessy is above scrutany. Now, focus on that Sky Day Cloud Tree. (Leaves)...."
 * Seaspray: "(Sighs).... (Looks at Mount Aris Troops)..... Well, men and women of the guard, you had your orders. Began collecting clouds for the Sky Day Cloud Tree."
 * (Silverstream): Needless to say, I was pretty peeved.
 * Silverstream was having a mental breakdown wreaking her room as Sky Beak and Ocean Flow were staring bewildered by the rampage......
 * Sky Beak: "..... She, isn't handling Drybutt's actions well."
 * Ocean Flow: "Who honestly would? If it wasn't for those Embessy soldiers, I would've given that guy a piece of my mind for hurting my daughter like that!"
 * Sky Beak: "I think, one of us should talk to her."
 * Silverstream: Not that it would work. I mean, he sent the best guards for my probation. Catchwind and Null Gust. Catch can control people's nervous systems and keep them from doing anything, and Null can negate the magic gifts of any race. Pegasus flight, Unicorn magic, Earth pony strength, dragon's breath, and hippogriff abilities. The best and worst combination. Doesn't help they're VERY nosey.
 * Catchwind: WE CAN HEAR YOU!!!
 * Silverstream: THAT'S THE IDEA!!! Ugh! How could somehippogriff so juvenile have so much power?! He expelled me from the School of Friendship, he bans ponies and seaponies from Mount Aris, he cost Sandbar his chance to become a seapony, and he flat-out gambles his own life by potentially crossing Alicorn Gods! AND ALL BECAUSE HE'S AFRAID OF WATER?!? I'm convinced he drank seawater when he almost drowned, because this is a ballsy hate crime.
 * Null: WE WON'T TOLERATE A CROSS WORD ABOUT SIR DRYBUTT!!!
 * Silverstream: AND AS FOR YOU TWO!!! Why are you taking orders from him?! He's so similar to the Storm King he should've been fired.
 * Catchwind: Are you judging us for following orders?
 * Silverstream: Well, if the boot fits. Why would ANYHIPPOGRIFF listen to a thing he says?! In fact, if nobody goes and tells on him, they'll figure it out on their own. It's suicide to cross an Alicorn god.
 * Null: It's suicide to defy him. You've seen what he did to your arm.
 * Silverstream: Oh, of course. It all boils down to subservient cowardice. You're just a bunch of sheep that only does what he says because he'll mummify you if you don't.
 * Catchwind: HE IS AN EMBASSY MEMBER FOR THE ENTIRE RACE!!! TO DISOBEY HIM WOULD BE TREASON TO EVEN THE KING!!!
 * Silverstream: Oh my Aericolous, are you kidding me?! You really think a guy like him deserves even Nephostratus' pity? Who should care about his problems? You're assisting in a hate crime and getting Dryass in the wrath of THIS WORLD'S PRIMAL RACE!!!!! HOW CAN YOU BE MORE SCARED OF DRYBUTT THAN PROVOKED ANGRY ALICORN GODS?!?
 * Catchwind: "Drybutt is very high in the ladder for the embessy. Turning on him is turning on the embessy. Families of embessy betrayers become outcasts for life! So pardon us, that we would rather take our chances with angry deity endlings, then being on the embessy's enemy list?!"
 * Silverstream: You two are pathetic. You guys actually think defying a spoiled embassy is worse than suffering a god's wrath. No wonder you two are defending him. You're both COWARDS!!
 * Null: They don't make cowards royal guards, young lady.
 * Silverstream: Bulls***!
 * Ocean Flow: SILVERSTREAM!!
 * Silverstream: MOM, I'M TALKING AND I'M NOT A CHICK ANYMORE, GET USED TO IT!!!
 * Terramar:... Wow, that school sure slapped balls on her.
 * Silverstream: You two are a disgrace. You'd rather have this entire place punished by gods than make a sacrifice for the greater good. If you're smart, you'd help me stop Drybutt from making the biggest mistake of his life. If he protests Twilight, he's luring the presence of Celestia, Luna, and their parents. They won't care about bans on races. They will have him severely punished.
 * Null: And risk making the fractured relationship between the two races worse? I don't think so.
 * Terramar:... He has a point-
 * Silverstream: STAY OUT OF THIS, TERRA!!!
 * Terramar: SILVER, THEY'RE RIGHT!!! THEY WOULDN'T DO IT IF IT WILL RUIN HIPPOGRIFF AND PONY RELATIONS!!!
 * Silverstream: That's no more logical. I'm sure hippogriffs can be convinced it was for a good reason. You two are bad at defending this decision.
 * Catchwind: ENOUGH!
 * Silverstream: What, cat got your tongues? You know what he's doing is wrong.
 * Catchwind: I SAID ENOUGH!!! (Immobilizes her as his family gasps)... Anyhippogriff else want to protest? (They comically nod no)... Good. (Lets Silverstream go).... If any of you think we're gonna sacrivice our family's good statuses in life because Drybutt is acting abit prickish, then I think Sea Cucumbers suddenly started to look smarter then you people.
 * Null: "These people are making me antsy. Come on, let's go take a seaweed break. (The two went off to take a seaweed break)."
 * Terramar: ".... Ugh, how angry did she get to lose sight of her common-sense?"
 * Sky Beak: "Likely enough to mindlessly insult guards she perfectly acknowledged prior were two of the best ones. If the aim was to coherse the two into our side, she lost it for belitting them as cowerds when they were only doing their job, it was nothing personal to us."
 * Silverstream: GRRRRREGH!!!! Phenomenal. Hearth's Warming for me and Sandbar has officially been ruined. And Three Days of Freedom, is ruined for all of Mount Aris?! I am SO getting Twilight's attention when I can move again!
 * Sky Beak: "Silverstream, please. You need to consider the fact that one way or the other, Twilight, may not be of any help to us no matter what happens. Jerk or not, Drybutt is a legitament member of the embessy. By all means, everything he's doing is within legal bounderies. That means, the worse any of the princesses or even Nightus and Heavenslight would do, is echo your concerns. Anything more intense, even so much as a mere refuseal to stand down, and Hippogriffs will have no reason to ever assusiate with ponies again, nor, anyone else for that matter! Hippogriffs of the Embessy of our homeland are to be respected at all costs, even, undesireable ones."
 * Silverstream: "...... So that's it? Drybutt, just wins?"
 * Terramer: "Well, at least for as long he doesn't do anything illegal on the side, or, if the Sky Day resurgence ends up hurting something like if the Sky Day Cloud Tree ends up taking in a storm cloud."
 * Silverstream looked as if she gotten an idea.
 * Terramer: "....... Oh please don't tell me I just gave you a bad idea from what I just said."
 * Silverstream: "Tch, what do you take me for, Terra, Gaster's brothers? I may want to stop Drybutt, but not through crazy sceames like that. Instead, I'm going to cause a situation that gets Drybutt cured of his aquaphobia and cause the Sky Day Cloud Tree to flood!"
 * Sky Beak: "That..... Isn't nessersarly any better then what we THOUGHT you were going for. And even then, getting him to confront water won't work because of that ability."
 * Silverstream: "Then..... We need, to disable his power. And with Null, I got an idea how."
 * Terramer: "Silverstream, if you do something that ends up endangering Drybutt, you'll render Mount Aris a disgrace to the Hippogriffin Homeland, the embessy will stop finacelly supporting us! We'll go the way of Griffinstone!"
 * (Gallus): "(Deadpan, sadly) He just HAD to go for the low bearing fruit of a compairison, did he?"
 * Silverstream: Guys, we have to do something.
 * Terramar: Why?
 * Silverstream:...... Oh my Aericolous, tell me that word did not just come out of your beak. Am I talking to Tang here? Why is this not a big deal to everyhippogriff?!
 * Sky Beak: Oh, don't get us wrong, it is. It's just the stakes of getting Drybutt to reconsider are very slim.
 * Silverstream: Dad, I can't just let Drybutt get away with this. That's not what the magic of friendship stands for. Letting him treat ponies and seaponies with such hate is not what it stands for. So I am going to flood the tree and get Dryass out of his nonsense.
 * Ocean Flow: Hon, what if it doesn't work? You could be imprisoned for high treason. Is that what you want?
 * Silverstream: If that's what it takes.
 * Terramar: Sis, stop. Why is this a bigger deal for you than us?
 * Silverstream: BECAUSE A PONY FRIEND OF MINE WAS PROMISED A PEARL NECKLACE FOR HEARTH'S WARMING SO HE CAN SWIM FREE WITH HIS SEAPONY GIRLFRIEND!!! (The entire family was surprised)...... Sandbar was looking forward to Aunt Novo giving him a pearl necklace, and just like all the other ponies in a relationship with hippogriffs and seaponies, Drybutt took that all away! How would you like it if you were in love with a pony and this garbage was thrown at you? Aunt Novo can't keep a promise to Sandbar now. That's not fair and I will not stand for it. I am a student of friendship, and even on holidays, it's my job and responsibility to make it right.
 * Terramar: "..... Ugh...... The logical side of me is REALLY gonna hate me for this, but...... Count me in."
 * Sky Beak: "Are the two of you sure you want to do this? Cause, if this goes wrong, I can't promise you two protection against the embessy's wrath. As a guard, even with no direct affiliation with the embessy, I can't exactly condone these sort've things being done against them. But, I also won't try to stop you. Silverstream, if you feel like you need to do this as a student of friendship, then, the least I can do is turn the other cheek."
 * Silverstream: "Fair enough. Besides, you're already with Seaspray on getting clouds anyway, and Drybutt is expecting you there. This is between siblings now."
 * Ocean Flow: "..... Ya know, I can't promise you two that Novo would even be able to protect you. Even if it wasn't for that controversy, she has very little sway with the Embessy as a whole, nevermind Drybutt."
 * Silverstream: "I already dabbed my hand in intense situations before. I think, I can handle another..... As soon as I can move again."
 * (Silverstream): "Let's skip to where I did came to move again."
 * Catchwind and Null were seen at the front door of the house.
 * Silverstream and Terramer were seen hidden in the shadows.
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Ya know sis, since trying for take two of getting these two on our side is abit out of the question since all you did was berate them self-rightiously and insult them as cowerds, they're gonna end up assume your nothing but a spoiled brat and that you don't care for their own troubles."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Give me a break, it's the first time I ever exspearienced anger in a serious level, I lost control of myself."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Well, at least there's no doubt that we are related to Novo if that episode's anything to go by."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) There is other ways to convince these two chuckleheads..... They'll need to be put on Drybutt's badside, so they can see that he's MORE then just "Abit Prickish"."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) You're not suggesting we frame these guys of stupid things, are ya? If you get exposed as the real one behind it, they'll be even MORE mad at you, and will never listen PERIOD?!"
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) That's why we need to make it that they make themselves bad in front of Drybutt."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Like how? They're pretty much very compident guys, so it's not like we put them into a wacky situation where they just fail at capturing us. And they already proven themselves very strong dudes if your previous immobilisation's anything to reference, so not like we can take them on in a fight. In fact, any situation involving us, even if successful, will only end in them hating us."
 * Silverstream: "..... (Quietly) But what if we do it in a way that makes Drybutt look bad to them?"
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Fair point, but they are likely well aware that Drybutt's abit of an asshole and have already seen his most worse actions."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Likely only of him being a demanding prick. Dad did say it was nothing personal against us, right? What if I were to provoke Drybutt so badly, that he gets violent with me."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) They seem pretty acknowledgeable of his ability, they likely already saw him use it on people. Dehydrating people by touching them? It's a nightmare."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) I'm willing to bet only onto adults. Probuly not so much children."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) But what about the guards present of when you were bad mouthing Drybutt. They did it in front of them, and yet there wasn't a sudden rebellion."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Trust me, I saw their faces. Alot of them looked surprised and fearful of what occured. One of them, a lady guard, even looked away in sorrow. So that proves that these guys are not ABSOLUTELY loyal to him, but because he made them afraid of his power."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Or just as much, they didn't think he would hurt the niece of royalty! Keynote that they still didn't turn on him, and it had nothing to do with cowardice, but rather because the Embessy is not a force to mindlessly betray on a whim. You also have to consider that Drybutt is a very high-rank embessy member, which means that he's often pardoned from any physical harm done onto others if because of defiance and discipline. By all accounts, Drybutt isn't breaking any legal codes the Embessy has, ergo, even if Drybutt goes too far with ya, these two alone might not be quick to risk being disgraces to the Embessy for a kid they BARELY know, nor a kid they had a sour first impression of."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Then, let's make Drybutt do an illegal move, that way, the guards obligation to stand by him will be severed, and they see the true prissy beast behind the cover of fancy rules."
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Ugh, as much as I don't like to encourage this, but.... I heard talk that Drybutt is given speical rules that he's not allowed to use those powers on elderly, infirm, or younger kids, cause the effects of his powers can have long-lasting damage. They didn't turn on Drybutt when he did it to you cause, well, you're vaguely a young adult. The rules meant younger kids like those of Sea Poppy's age, or toddlers. Babies even."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Well..... I wouldn't feel right endangering young kids or even old people, so, any other illegal moves we could make him do?"
 * Terramer: "(Quietly) Well, the embessy do have a strict policy on not physically abusing the guards or assistents. Those are rules embessy members take very seriously ever since they used to have a member that treated his servents like garbage."
 * Silverstream: "(Quietly) Well I already have an idea on who would be on the reshiving end of Drybutt's anger: That Dryspell guy."
 * Terramar: "(Quietly) Keep in mind that Dryspell is the epitome of a perfect assistent. He's well organised, rarely makes mistakes, and keeps people in line very well. And any rare mistake he does make, he'll correct in a jiffy."
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) And I also hear he's got a lot of droppings on his plate with the holidays because of the changes. Family gifts being banned, interracial romances in his family ruined, and piled up with paperwork and several responsibilities? Not a good holiday for him. What if we made those problems worse? It could stress him out enough to snap at Drybutt, get him abused, make Drybutt look bad to Catch and Null, and get them on our side.
 * Terramar: (Quietly) That could work. But here's the tricky part: Catch and Null have us on a leash. Null has negated our flight and magic for the night, and Catch has control over your body, and can even detect where you are by sensing it. Which means we can't leave Mount Aris.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Then why isn't he sensing us- (Sees them both fast asleep)... Point taken.
 * Terramar: (Quietly) But leaving will sound an alarm in his mind and wake him up. So, the only thing we can do is find the girl you mentioned saw your outburst with Dry, and any family members of Dryspell in Hippogrifia.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Why the girl?
 * Terramar: (Quietly) Because she might help, and she might know whereabouts of Dryspell's family.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Good point. But, the royal chambers are big. How will we find her?
 * Terramar: (Quietly) Well, you are the niece of the Queen. You have been around the chambers a lot, so, I can use my memory-enhacing ability to...... Aw crap, I can't use it. Curse you, Null.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Well looks like we'll have to find her the hard way.
 * ???: (Quietly) Count me in. (Skystar snuck in)...
 * Terramar: (Quietly) Cous!
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) What're you doing here?
 * Skystar: (Quietly)... Because I confronted Drybutt too. (Shows her arms more dehydrated than Silverstream's) Went just as well as you'd expect.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Ouch.
 * Skystar: (Quietly) Drybutt has gone too far. He's no better than my mom was last year. I won't let him make a bigger mistake than ever.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Then let's go.
 * Skystar: (Quietly) Well, here's the thing. They took away a lot since Drybutt's decision. I can't become a seapony either. And since I confronted Drybutt, Null took my empathic abilities and flight too.
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Figures.
 * Skystar: (Quietly) But the girl you're looking for, Facula Wane, can restore our abilities. She has the power to bend the magic of other beings, but there are repercussions.
 * Terramar: (Quietly) Whatever. If it means we go somewhere, let's go.
 * The trio set off.
 * Some Embassy Guards were seen enjoying a cloud flower nector break.
 * Embassy Guard 1: "Yeesh, can ya believe how scaringly bold Drybutt was to burn the royal daughter and niece like he did?"
 * Embassy Guard 2: "Look, freaky as it was, we have to remember the Defience Disapleane Clause that pardons things like that as disapleanary actions. Intense as it was, they were being defient and Drybutt acted accurdingly. At the least the Embessy DOES forbid him doing that to really younger kids and old folks. Skystar and Silverstream are mostly considered old enough to be considered a teen and a young adult, ergo abit more capable to withstand pain in some compasity in compairison. They'll recover in time with enough visits to the healers and plenty of water. And hey, thanks to the Anti-Abuse Order, he can't do squat to us for as long as we keep our yaps shut and don't piss him off."
 * Embassy Guard 3: "Well, I'm, uneasy all the same. What if any one of us makes a mistake too bad for Drybutt to ignor? Even so much as an unautherised break could set him off, and like that, our families will become disgraces faster then snapping fingers."
 * Embassy Guard 4: "Well duh, then be like Dryspell and be at least 99.9% perfect and avoid mistakes. Long as you do that, Dryspell does his thing, and none of us gets a nasty burn. Win-win, guys."
 * Embassy Guard #1: (As the three arrived sneaking past them) I think you guys are overanalyzing it.
 * Embassy Guard #3: Bulls*** we are, this is Drybutt. The kind of hippogriff who is intolerable to any kind of s***. Anyhippogriff who crosses him is sentenced to be disgraced, no matter how justified it is.
 * Embassy Guard #2: That doesn't sound very fair.
 * Embassy Guard #4: Yeah. I pity anyhippogriff who gets on his bad side. (The three snuck away)
 * Terramar: (Quietly) I need to ask, Sil, is it really worth making Dryspell look bad and dragging his family down with him? That's no better, isn't it?
 * Silverstream: (Quietly) Oh for Heaven's sake, you're going to hold us up again?!
 * Terramar: (Quietly) I'm serious, Sil. What will getting Dryspell stressed to make Drybutt look bad accomplish?
 * Skystar: (Quietly) Yeah, I mean, we're going after another hippogriff who can manipulate magical powers.
 * Silverstream:...... (Quietly) Aw snap, why didn't I think about that?! Well, I guess we just need her, then. She can take away Drybutt's powers during Sky Day, and boom.
 * (Gallus): "Well that made a certain part of your plan pointless."
 * (Silverstream): But we got started anyway. So we got to Facula easier than expected. (They drop into the room of a pink hippogriff)
 * Skystar: Psst. Facula.
 * Facula: BRAWWWKKK, I'LL BREAK YOUR WHOLE WORLD... Oh, it's you.
 * Silverstream: We... Kinda need your help to deal with Drybutt.
 * Facula: Oh, of course you would. Well, sorry to say, no. You do not defy the Embassy. I'm sure you both know why.
 * Terramar: Can't you take away magic powers?
 * Facula: That would be treason.
 * Silverstream: Oh come on!!! Is this entire mountain a sheep farm?
 * Facula: Young lady, I will not betray the embassy.
 * Silverstream: Then why'd you walk away when I confronted Drybutt? You obviously wanted to help.
 * Facula: When it comes to the Embassy of Hippogriffinstone, you do not commit insubordination.
 * Silverstream: Ugh!! Typical. I can see why Aunt Corono was so fussy. You're WEAK.
 * Facula: Obeying superiors is not weakness.
 * Silverstream: Tell that to any tyrant, dictator, or corrupt war leader in history. Not all higherups know right from wrong!
 * Facula: "Well defience against the status quo isn't always a good thing neither! And look, Drybutt is largely within legal bounds to bring Sky Day back, the Embessy changes colonies all the time. This sort've thing, is nothing new."
 * Silverstream: Oh, sure, just because he didn't hurt old folks, little kids nor any of your embessy pals, that means forcing a holiday change is excusable to you?
 * Facula: "Kid, the Embessy makes radical changes to colonies all the time, changing of holidays and cutting of racial ties isn't anything new."
 * Silverstream: Facula, it's not just the holiday at stake, it's so many relationships and bonds he is ruining! You have to do the right thing. Drybutt is ruining relationships with his changes. He not only hurt me, but he hurt my pony friend Sandbar. Aunt Novo was going to give him a pearl necklace to spend time with his seapony girlfriend, and now she can't do it.
 * Facula: You're the one who provoked him into banning pony relations. You only had yourself to blame.
 * Silverstream:... How DARE YOU DISRESPECT MY FRIENDSHIP?!
 * Facula: "That sounds like a you problem, Miss Stream. Not a me problem."
 * Silverstream: THEN WHAT  IS  YOUR PROBLEM, THEN, YOU CHICKEN?! YOU PREFER TO LET HIM RUIN OTHER INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS LIKE THAT, AND EVEN RISK GETTING ALICORN GODS INVOLVED AS WELL AS FRACTURE RELATIONS TO BOTH RACES, AND POTENTIALLY START A WAR?!?
 * Facula: "I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be very diplomatic of Celestia nor any of her family to start a fruitless war over strained relationships caused by politics, which happens all the time, mind you. The worse they would actselly do is engaged in firm negosiations and nothing more-"
 * Silverstream: YOU ARE COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT?! DID YOUR MOTHER EVER DECIDE TO KEEP YOU WITH THAT ATTITUDE?! (Facula got triggered) WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?!?
 * Facula: BECAUSE MY MOTHER WAS RUINED THAT WAY!!!!! (They stopped)... My mother defied the will of the Embassy once when she tried to negotiate peacefully with Hippalectryons, and she was rendered into a social pariah and exiled from our homeland. They made it very clear to me that that's what will happen if I did the same thing. I had to give up my hippalectryon boyfriend and friendships to take my mom's place. That's why I refuse to defy their orders. And you DARE insult my mother in such an insensitive fashion?! Look, I won't deny that Drybutt is making an epic jackassfish of himself doing what he's doing, BUT YOU ARE NOT GONNA EARN ANY ALLIES FROM ANYONE EITHER IF YOU RESORT TO INSULT PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T SIDE WITH YOU WITH THE SNAP OF A FINGER?!
 * Terramer gave a firm "Ya see what I was getting at before now" sort've look....
 * Terramer: "..... THIS, IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU BADMOUTHED CATCHWIND AND NULL BEFORE?!"
 * Facula: "Tch, then in that case, that isn't a very encouraging exsample from a  Friendship Student .
 * Silverstream: I-I didn't know!! I'm sorry!
 * Facula: Well, an apology isn't gonna spare you from an Embessy trail, kid. The least I could do is recimend a different Embessy Member is picked for your judge due to any likely bias Drybutt would have. Other then that, don't expect Embessy to be gentle for this outrage, ya brat! GUAR- (They knocked her out) UGH?!
 * Terramar: Oh, smart move, Silvy! Now she'll never help!
 * Silverstream: SHUT UP!!! I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PRIOR ISSUES, THE POWER THAT USUALLY ALLOWS ME TO KNOW PEOPLE BETTER IS DISABLED, REMEMBER?! I'M NOT LETTING THIS EXCUSE A FAILURE!!! So stop pussing me out, get Facula, and let's get out of here before- (They opened the door to find Hippogriff guards)..... This, happens.
 * Hippogriff Guard #1: Freeze!
 * Skystar:... Busted. (Suddenly, a reptilian tail smacked the guards unconscious as Fu-Xi and the gang appear)
 * Silverstream: Hey, you're the Lodgers' cobra ally.
 * Fu-Xi: We must move. Now. (They left bringing Facula)
 * (Gallus): "Knew that was gonna happen. Ya know, my story didn't needed Fu-Xi to show up."
 * (Smolder): "Likely because that Count Troy dude wasn't able to become a problem."
 * (Gallus): "....... Touché."
 * Facula: (Tied up in the basement) This is some friendly act kidnapping me.
 * Sky Beak: And you're risking my own career by having me assist in it.
 * Silverstream: I didn't have a choice. She was being a jerk.
 * Facula: YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!!! YOU INSINUATED MY MOTHER ABANDONED ME FOR A ROTTEN ATTITUDE WHEN SHE WAS JUST BANISHED AND SHUNNED FROM ANY AVAILABLE HELP IN SHAME!!!!
 * Silverstream: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?! I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT IF I DID!!! It's not fair for you to rat on me all because of a simple mistake. I doubt she'd be proud of you for doing this.
 * Facula: DO NOT EVER TALK ABOUT HER AGAIN!!! AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING: LIFE'S NOT FAIR!! YOU WOULD BE WISE TO LET THIS BE BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY FORCING THIS ON ME, LIKE SOME DESPERATE TEENAGER!!! And I think I recall what happened to Princess Luna when she did the same thing. (Silverstream was angered). We're just lucky that at least you don't have the powers of deities, else you might already be at risk of being a Hippogriff Nightmare Moon. Speaking of which, how does "Nightmare Stream" sound if you ever end up going that route?!
 * Silverstream: OH SHUT UP!!! (Slaps her and sees the blood on her claws and the scratches on Facula's face)...... Oh my God!
 * Terramar: SILVY, WHAT DID YOU DO?!
 * Facula:...... You little brat. Is THIS how a student of friendship should act?! Well, this makes me question that Friendship School, EVEN more!
 * Lady Cao: In terms to the standerds of Hippogriffs being passive and gentle, perhaps not... Or perhaps, JUST perhaps, that's normal. I have been reading up about the hippogriffs, and it says you were... To be subtile, violently assertive.
 * Silverstream:... (Get sadden) Ya mean, back when we were...... Barbaric.......
 * Lady Cao: 'Barbaric', is a gross exaggeration.
 * Fu-Xi: "But I would hestitate to call it inaccreate."
 * Lady Cao: AHEM! That is to say, the term of "Barbaric" is often subjective and is used to discribed something vastly more, alien, or animalistic to more domesticated and/or more advanced socities. It is nothing more then a derogatory term for less advanced tribal socites and often based on biases and opinions, not nessersarly a fact of life. I prefer the term 'vehement' or 'passionate'. Tying to the combination of calm, but emotionally driven and powerful ponies, and rough robust griffins, hippogriffs are a perfect blend. Violence was your people's definition of assertion.
 * Facula:... Well, that's NOT us anymore. Ever since the last Aggressive Queen was injured greatly in the war with the hippalectryons, Hippogriffs have renounced the old ways as an act of repentence.
 * Lady Cao: I see.... So, why would the Embessy want the Hippogriffs to continue avoiding the hippalectryons?
 * Facula: ".... To make it simple...... Because the Embessy were pissy at the fact, that we becoming so passive, wasn't enough for the hippalectryons. The hippalectryons began to ask more then what they were already owed, tributes, surrendering of some Hippogriff terratories in the homelands, stewerdship over Hippogriff Colonies, indeptured labor, hippalectryons in offices governing over Hippogriff goverments, absolute athority on who gets to be an heir to a Hippogriff throwne, the ability to take Aggression loyal Hippogriffs to consintraition camps, basicly, a control over everything we do and think..... Basicly, the Embessy had a bad reaction to the hippalectryons being sore winners not being happy that we already gave up something that was ONCE apart of us and wanted more rewards. Mother, had the gull to wanting to offer compromises between our people, and the Embessy were too pissy to realise a golden oppertunity that she was exiled the moment she brought it up! Say what you want about the Embessy because how much Drybutt left a bad taste in your mouths, cause if it wasn't for them, hippalectryon control would've been worse. The thing is, my mother could've reasoned with the hippalectryons to settle for reasonable compromises to those radical demands and could've redused tension..... But I guess the Embessy was too afraid of the hippalectryons having even abit more control of Hippogriffs then them that they rather not risk it...... That's why NO Hippogriff, wants to turn their backs on them..... It's a risk NOT worth taking. Call us cowerds for it all you like, you miserable brat, but at least keep in mind that at least we're "Cowerds" that still HAVE HOMES, Vs. the Morons that got exiled for standing them up. So think TWICE before you get upset when a member of the Embessy hesitates about going against their faction?!"
 * Lady Cao: "Ahem..... I think we got too side-tracked. We were talking about Silverstream."
 * Silverstream: Yeah, no offense, miss, but that's not me. I was raised to be a perfectly passive Hippogriff, all my outbursts and anger is because of Drybutt doing stupid things to us.
 * Lady Cao: Oh? Well tell me. Have you ever kept a cool head since you arrived? How many times have you tried to get the point across in a brash manner? How many times have you belittled and gravely insulted those who pushed you? And how long has all that built up until she shattered the wall of non-violence and got you to resort to violence? (Silverstream paused)...... Face it, young one, it's natural for hippogriffs to be violent.
 * Silverstream:... No. I AM NOT A VIOLENT BEAST!!!! I AM NOT PROUD OF DOING THIS TO HER!!! Soon enough she'll see how foolish she is and help us. If not... THEN I'LL STARVE HER TO DEATH!!! (Covers her mouth)... No! IT CAN'T BE TRUE!!! (Facula started looking concerned) I... I DON'T DESERVE TO BE A STUDENT OF FRIENDSHIP!!! I'M A MONSTER!!!...... Let her go.
 * Terramar: What?
 * Skystar: But we just got her!
 * Silverstream: I SAID LET HER GO!!! I don't want to do this anymore..... I was a fool to defy Drybutt. I'm no better than him.
 * Facula: (As they let her go, she simply got up and left)....... (Does a quick stop to look at Silverstream)...... I'll uh, just exit through the window so I'm not seen. (Leaves).
 * Rash: "...... And alcourse..... She just leaves."
 * Teddie: "Darn, I totally thought she was gonna do a 360 "I'm a Good Guy now" move on us and fix them."
 * Fire: "She was never evil, guys..... She's just another happless soul caught to do the bidding of an undesireable. It is not our place to judge her for things she cannot help with."
 * Lady Cao: "Indeed, is it really our place to judge them for only being servents, of a flawwed system?"
 * Terramer: "...... UGH?! NOW WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE?! Silv, what gives?! I mean, okay, you ended up going, a tiny bit not you at the moment there, but, we still needed her for the plan?! And there was the scar she has?! I'm pretty sure those guards will notice a blemish like THAT?! And then there was the guards that saw us?! Drybutt's gonna know it was us!?"
 * Silverstream: "LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS?!...... I rather give up like a Proper Hippogriff then be a monster. (Walks to her bed and curls up) Proper Hippogriffs are suppose to be passive and gentle, after all."
 * Mo Tong: "..... (Quietly) Cao, I don't think that free history class was the greatest thing you pulled."
 * Lady Cao: "(Quietly) Perhaps it is best she is allowed to learn on her own. (Casts a spell and made herself and the rest of Fu-Xi's group vanish)."
 * Ocean Flow: "..... Guess they figured we wanted some time alone."
 * Sky Beak: "At least they know when they made a mistake and know when to leave people be."
 * Skystar: "We should, probuly back off as well. Stream, obviously doesn't look as if she wants to be bothered at all."
 * Terramer: "Oh please tell me we're not just calling it quits LIKE THAT?!"
 * Sky Beak: "Son, please, your sister is not in the greatest mental shape right now..... It's the first time she exspearenced, being aggressive. And Hippogriffs that were usually raised passive, when they first exspearienced it, then to become, anxious, unbalenced, emotional, and sometimes, quick to small bursts of refluxual swipes like a cornered creature. She, may not be herself at the moment. It's, for the best we, back off abit."
 * Silverstream's family all slowly backed away.
 * (Polarity): "Ohhhhh, this is turning into an unexpectedly sad story."
 * (Gallus): "I mean, yeah Stream, this is..... This is surprisingly dark shit coming from you!"
 * (Silverstream): "Yeah, I, I probuly should've given out a disclaimer that this was also the story where I exspearienced my first breakdown after getting in touch with my aggressive side."
 * (Gaster): "Hey don't feel bad. It's a nice break from all the mushy stuff the other stories minus Smolder's story had. Making things abit dark makes it, interesting."
 * (Little Dipper): "Though I kinda have to complain that going after Facula ended up being for jacksquat. It's about as pointless as my dad having that stupid beard."
 * (Silverstream): Well apparently it worked out. See, Facula had a lot of time to think. So...... She did the entire plan on her own. Albeit, differently.
 * Facula: "(Shows up with coffee) I got you some coffee, sir."
 * Sir Drybutt: "Facula? I asked Dryspell to do that."
 * Facula: "He went into another one of his stress naps."
 * Drysepll was seen fast asleep.
 * Sir Drybutt: "..... Ugh, he's lucky I'm willing to pardon this because of regulations and holiday obligations. This being said, I will have a chat with him later about this. Still, thank you for the coffee, Facula. (Takes Coffee). You're dismissed."
 * Facula saluted and left.
 * Sir Drybutt: "(Sighs), Nothing like a cup of caffinated energetic jump-starting drink to ease away the stress of restoring a proper holiday."
 * (Silverstream): Little did he know that coffee would get him in deep trouble.
 * (Gaster): "Because it was gonna give him the runs later?"
 * A shot of a bathroom door was seen as Drybutt was heard squeeling like a girl in it!
 * (Silverstream): "NO! (A giant "No" symbol landed on the scene) You guys already know what's gonna happen later!"
 * (Gallus): What, did she put too much caffeine in the coffee?
 * (Silverstream): "Ugh, do I have to spell it out? She spiked the coffee with a magic disabling potion!"
 * (Gallus): Okay, THAT, was my second guess.
 * (Sandbar): Derived from her magic?
 * (Silverstream): Yep. Had to be way more subtle than doing it personally. Fair's fair, doing it personally would've risked trouble with the Embessy.
 * (Smolder): "That's great and all, but what was happening with you while that was going down?"
 * (Silverstream): Well, I was being mopey about the hippogriff violence thing. Didn't want to continue since I felt that a creature so violent shouldn't be in the School of Friendship.
 * Silverstream: I had no idea hippogriff were more violent than Aunt Corono made it out to be. Why should such a creature even be in the School of Friendship?
 * ???: That's the kind of talk I expect from a pessimistic jerk like Neighsay, not my little cous. (Skystar came in). After all, Aunt Corono and mom never got along because they're polar opposites. Mom was pacifistic while Aunt Corono was more aggressive. And, the one thing I hated, is the two of them arguing madly. Even Mom wasn't that rough with Dad.
 * Silverstream: Well, this seems different. It seems like a miracle I never hurt any of my other friends.
 * Skystar: "Then again, you were never provoked this badly up until Drybutt started trying to get Sky Day back to Mount Aris, so-"
 * Silverstream: "WELL GOOD TO KNOW THAT I'M A TICKING TIME BOMB OF ANGRY OUTBURSTS?! AND THAT ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ME BEING PUSHED TOO FAR AGAIN, AND I MIGHT END UP HURTING MY FRIENDS, OR WORSE, SOMEONE IMPOURENT?! I'M AT RISK OF PROVING THAT MEAN NEIGHSAY'S POINT AND PONIES WILL START BEING AFRAID OF US?!"
 * Skystar: Hey, just because hippogriffs can be violent doesn't mean they all are. Mom isn't violent.
 * Silverstream: But she has repressed rage. There's no point in staying at the school when there's a brute in me.
 * Skystar: Stream, listen..... We're descended from ponies AND griffins. Griffins have been way more violent than us.
 * Silverstream: That's the thing where it doesn't make sense. Why would two opposite races even interbreed? You'd think they would never get along.
 * Skystar: Didn't Halo Jump fall in love with a pony named Cheerilee?
 * Silverstream:......
 * Skystar: I mean, ponies CAN be like griffins, and griffins CAN be like ponies. So hippogriffs CAN be both and be in balance. You're only being hard on yourself because it's your first time you let your anger out after being raised to be nice. It was your first time dealing with some majorly unfair that couldn't be easily smack away by dumb luck or with help. And, that's why we have Sparkle's school.... To understand reality better, so we can help bring fairness to those worse off then some.
 * Silverstream: "But, I wasn't being myself?! I kept getting angry and-"
 * Skystar: Stream, stop worrying about what you did wrong and consider what you did right. At the least, you didn't kept Facula against her and let her go when you realised you were going to fair. And ya wanna know what I thought about that moment? Seems to me, that you're a good enough balance inspite of that tirade. After all.... You did regret scratching Facula.
 * Silverstream:... True. But I gave up a chance to stop Drybutt for it.
 * Skystar: But the impourent thing is that you avoided being the worse of two evils and forced Facula into a situation where she would be punished by the Embessy, just so you can stop a holiday from being replaced. So seems to me like you can actually be a good friend.
 * Silverstream: "..... Alot good it did though, now those Embessy Guards will soon come in, drag me by the tail and I'll be put into an Embessy Trail and get exiled like Facula's mom. I'll become a disgrace, and my own family will be helpless to stop it, because it ain't proper of Hippogriffs to fight back."
 * Skystar: Sometimes you just have to give hope.
 * Silverstream: "How can I hope to have Hippogriffs go against Drybutt without insulting them when they cower- (Stops herself)........ When they don't want to upset the embessy and be punished for it? All I did was scare away any hope to save Three Days of Freedom in trying to stop Drybutt...... All I would do is just push that holiday even more..... After all those guards heard about what happened, nobody's gonna want to stand up to Drybutt now."
 * Skystar: ".... Silverstream, remind me again...... Weren't you the same Hippogriff that stood up to a scary fear wars monster?"
 * Silverstream: "Well-"
 * Skystar: "And a wing-chopping Ostrich?"
 * Silverstream: "Tecnecally, I didn't got to be too involved with that-"
 * Skystar: "And a Helldra, Evil Clones, A grouchy former E.E.A. member, a crazy comical mercenary, a changeling elder, a fear god cult, a party dragon while helping some of your teachers with a personal demon, even a giant magic millipede, barely? Heck, you even stood up to multiable illutions of the Storm King! Heck, prior to all that, you managed to stop a choas-filled pony in a Draconquui theme park?! If you ask me, that doesn't sound like the Silverstream that gives up easily."
 * Silverstream: Well, what if I do hurt or even kill someone?
 * Skystar: The school teaches about other races, right? They'll understand. But it's up to you to be careful.
 * Silverstream:... (Sighs) Yeah, but, Drybutt likely knows everything by now.
 * Skystar: Actually, he doesn't. He's too busy to listen to even his own guards. That's basically a violation of responsibility. Would you trust a guy who fails to listen to reason until it's too late?
 * Silverstream:... No.
 * Skystar: Then that gives us an advantage. We can still fix this.
 * Silverstream: But how will that play to his fear?
 * Skystar: Sadly, that's not an option anymore. The only thing we can do is ruin his credibility.
 * (Silverstream): So we got ready to sabotage the Sky Day Tree. (A fountain-like tree with rain-fed water from clouds that formed hundreds of waterfalls into the ocean was seen)
 * Skystar:... Well, can't fly. So we'll have to go up the hard way.
 * (Silverstream): But much to our surprise, it was already sabotaged. Waterworks were tampered with, stormclouds were changed from nimbostratus to well-disguised cumulonimbus, and it was infested, with magimites.
 * (Sandbar): Ugh, you mean those magic-eating glowing termites that ravaged magical communities?
 * (Silverstream): And the very worse species, too.
 * Skystar:... Who did this?
 * Silverstream: I don't know, but it feels like our job was done- (The tree was heard cracking as the clouds true form was shown and rained more than the appropriate amount)
 * Skystar: Oh, crap in a pool!
 * Facula: (From her window)... This is for you, Mot- (Sees Skystar and Silverstream there) WHAT THE F***?! GIRLS?! WHAT'RE YOU-?! (Bolts off as the clouds crack up the Sky Tree as it collapses)
 * Drybutt: (Shows up) WHAT'S GOING ON?! (Saw this) MY GLORIOUS TREE!!!! (Water splashed everywhere as Skystar and Silverstream plunge in unable to turn into seaponies or breath, grabbing hold of a ledge to breath)... I must stop this! (Tries using his ability as it is gone)... What? (Fails to use it) WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?! (The water formed a wave that shows a monstrous face)... I just laid an oval-shaped turd. (He was wiped away) AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
 * Facula: (Flew in) ARE YOU BOTH INSANE?! I HAD IT ALL UNDER CONTROL!!!
 * Skystar: We didn't know you'd actually gone through with this!
 * Facula: Point taken, but we need to go. (Grabs the two and fly offs with them) When we can find a place to land, I can restore your abilities and- (Saw that Hippogriffs were caught in the waterslide and washed into the sea and into coral reefs and dormant seapony villages).... Second thought, I think we need to do this on the fly! (Zooms down holding the two as flashes were seen)....
 * Drybutt: (He and others were too deep to swim up for air and slowly drowned until the sea illuminated with familiar magic clouds that changed them all into seaponies as they individually gasp for breath)... My tree..... What happened to my tree?!? I- (Realizes he's in the water as a seapony)... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK?! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! WHERE'S THE SURFACE?!? WATER, EVERYWHERE?! MOMMY?!
 * ???: Oh calm down, you big hatchling! Be glad that we let you live even in spite of your tasteless actions. (Seaponies swam in, including Novo with the Pearl of Transformation)
 * Silverstream and Skystar, restored of their powers, splashed in as Facula became a seapony as well to join in.
 * Silverstream: "I knew my plan would work!"
 * Drybutt: YOU!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY POWERS?!
 * Facula: Not her. Me.
 * Drybutt: WHAT?! FACULA, HOW DID YOU-... My coffee.... Tch...... Like mother like daughter. Guess disgraceful actions run in the family. YOU ARE BANISHED!!!
 * Novo: Oh I don't think so, you sourpuss. (Transforms him back into a hippogriff as he suffocates) This is not a proper thanks for saving you.
 * Skystar: Not to mention your guards may have been trying to warn you about the sabotage.
 * Silverstream: Thus making you irresponsible. The plan was to have you conquer this fear of water WITHOUT your trump card. So, how do you want to do it? Apologize, or do it on your own? Better choose fast, because your lungs look like they're going to pop. (Novo and Skystar were surprised by that comment)..... Sorry, still working out that freed aggression stuff. That side of me got TOO enjoyed by this!
 * Drybutt gargled screamed as he was frailing phathicly!
 * Seaspray: "..... Ohhhhh dear. I think he's too paniced to consider anything. And panic attacks and drowning mix TERRABLY?!"
 * Novo realised this and gave him an air bubble!
 * Drybutt: "(WIMPFULLY SCREAMS) (Suddenly realises he can breath again)...... YOU TRIED TO THREATEN MY LIFE AS A NEGOSIATION PIECE?! THAT, TEARS IT?! GUARDS?! GUARDS?! I WANT THIS ENTIRE, IDIOTIC MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY, AND THAT TRAITOR FACULA, ARRESTED, NOW?!"
 * Guard #1:... We follow you no more.
 * Guard #2: You have violated several regulations, including committing an ungrateful act of no courtesy to the ones who just saved our lives.
 * Guard #3: Not to mention you have indeed displayed irresponsible behavior. We tried to tell you about Silverstream, and you never listened, and instead, you ordered that we weren't allowed to speak.
 * Guard #4: Not to mention that irresponsibility put the lives of elderly, infirm, and chicks in danger. If you had listened, we wouldn't have almost died.
 * Drybutt: DUH, BUH, AGGGHHHH?! IS THE SALTWATER GETTING TO YOUR BRAINS?! FACULA DID IT!!! SHE ALMOST COMMITTED A MISTROPENT MASS GENOCIDE!!! SHE IS A TERRORIST AND MUST BE PUNISHED!!!!
 * Catchwind: Oh, and I thought WE were the malcontent. Now just SHE is?
 * Null: Why should we follow orders when you're dragging all of us down with her?
 * Drybutt: BECAUSE I AM OF THE EMBASSY!!! I WILL REPORT THIS TREASON TO HIPPOGRIFFINSTONE!!!
 * Facula: Oh really? Because though what I did was risky, it was actually prepared for by Novo. Skystar DID have her ready the Pearl to save them.
 * Drybutt: And did you know?
 * Facula: Admitingly, this info came very late to me, but THEY did when they were going to do the same. There was nothing wrong done because we were all prepared for something like the collapse of a Sky Day Cloud Tree. What kind of idiots do you take us for to not consider that the plan would get to them?
 * Novo: And yet another violation of responsibility: mistrust and underestimation. Looks like Sir Drybutt of the Hippogriff Embassy is looking undeserving of being the Embassy.
 * Drybutt: DON'T TRY ANY GAMES!!!!
 * Novo: It's no game. It's simply the truth. And yet there you are again violating responsibility by writing this off as a game.
 * Drybutt: SHUT UP!!! SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP, SHUT UUUP!!!! THIS IS JUST HIGH TREASON FROM A BUNCH OF WHINY YOUNG TEENAGERS WHO JUST WANT THINGS THEIR WAY!!!!
 * Novo: False charges.
 * Drybutt:... I WAS SET UP!!!
 * Novo: Attempted framing.
 * Drybutt: UUGGGHHHH!!!! THIS NONSENSE IS RUINING SKY DAY FOR ME?!
 * Silverstream: And that's another thing, Butty! This is why forcing us to Sky Day is wrong, Drybutt. Sky Day is more reserved for the mother land. Mount Aris has an identity of it's own, that you tried to take away by subjugating it for Hippogriffinstone.
 * Drybutt: "IT IS PERFECTLY WITHIN EMBESSY BOUNDERIES TO CHANGE COLONIES?!"
 * Silversteam: Just because fancy rules excuse it, doesn't make it right beyond that! It's not right to change who we are just because you're scared of the water. Our original purpose is still there. But times change, and you try to force this colony to change against the will of it's people. Your actions have destroyed relationships, it's a hate crime against two races, and it's a crime that must be corrected.
 * Novo: She's right. Thus another violation: abusing embassy power excessively for personal gain.
 * Drybutt: STOP IT!!! STOP WITH THESE ACCUSATIONS?!!!! I AM AN EMBASSY MEMBER!!! I HAVE DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY, AND THESE CHARGES, ARE INVALID!!!!
 * Catchwind: "..... Is it not too late to tell you that you asked Dryspell to invite the Headmaster of the Embessy to witnessed your Sky Day revitalisation in Mount Aris?"
 * Drybutt: "BAH?! THAT OLD FART TAKES FOREVER TO ARRIVE ANYWHERE ANYWAY?! I HAVE THE TIME OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSES THEMSELVES TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS AND PUNISH EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FOR THIS DISRESPECT?! (Drybutt did not realised that a very impourent and old looking Hippogriff turned seapony arrived with the escourt of Fu-Xi and posse) HE WILL BE NONE THE WISER OF EVERYTHING THAT WENT DOWN, ON THIS RUINED SKY DAY, AS ALOT OF YOU, WILL BE BANISHED FROM ALL HIPPOGRIFF TERRATORIES, FOR LIFE?!........"
 * Old Seapony: "...... Old Fart, Drybuttocks? (Drybutt made a surprised face as a quack was heard)."
 * Drybutt: "..... (The soundclip in this video as he slowly turned around)....."
 * Drybutt: "AY?! Duh, buh, buh, Headmaster, you arrived?! I'm SO sorry you arrived to Sky Day being in absolute ruins, sir, it's because of a traitor?! Facula has destroyed the sky day cloud tree and commited terrorisum against us and almost drowned everyone?! I recommend STRICT punishment on her, sir?!"
 * Headmaster: "..... Drybuttocks, is there something you have been meaning to explain when you asked the council to okay the plans to reinstate Sky Day into the Mount Aris colony? Because I felt as if certain details were omitted from your offictal report."
 * Drybutt: "Duh, bu, duh, NOTHING was missing!? Nothing at all?!"
 * Headmaster: Drybuttocks...
 * Drybutt: "I'm a 100% positive, your excellentcy."
 * Lady Cao: "Then you wouldn't mind, (Levitates a green bottle), Taking a truth potion, would you?"
 * Drybutt: "YES I MIND?! I taken enough weird oddity causing drinks as it is when Facula tainted my coffee with an ability disabling spell?!"
 * Lady Cao: "..... Fu-Xi? Restrain him."
 * Fu-Xi: "Yes mother."
 * Drybutt: "YOUR MOTHER'S A BUG?! THAT'S DISGUSTIN- (Fu-Xi restrains him)"
 * Fu-Xi: She made me with magic, simpleton?! Now, mother! (Lady Cao forces the truth potion down Drybutt's throat)
 * Drybutt: "(Moans with panic as the truth potion goes inside him!)"
 * Lady Cao pulled the bottle out.
 * Drybutt closed his mouth and kept it shut!
 * Fu-Xi: "Oh that's your game, huh? Rash, Teddie, proceed, with the feathers."
 * The two possoms pulled out giant feathers.
 * Rash: "Operation Tickle-Attack, is a go!"
 * Drybutt thinks: "OH YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!"
 * (Gaster): "Tickle torture? That, ruined any edginess the story had earlier before."
 * (Silverstream): Oh, don't worry. It was still effective, and it got Drybutt to spill the beans.
 * Teddie: (He and Rash start tickling Drybutt) Tickle, tickle, tickle!
 * Headmaster: "...... When I got out of my bednest this morning, I did not anpisipated this day."
 * Dryspell: "No one did, sir."
 * Drybutt kept his mouth closed the best of his ability, but finally broke into loud laughter!
 * (Gallus): "Luckly for you guys, the prick was ticklish."
 * Novo: Go ahead. Tell the Headmaster everything.
 * Drybutt: "I- (Drybutt grabs his tongue, thereby keeping him from admiting everything!)"
 * Mo Tong: "Oh, trying to tongue-tied yourself, huh? (Brings out a bottle of Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce) Then prepare for the hot sauce!"
 * Fu-Xi: "Wait, Squeakers-"
 * Mo Tong: "MO TONG?!"
 * Fu-Xi: "I don't think that would work because this is a world with realisitc water physics."
 * Mo Tong: Just watch. (Shoves the bottle in Drybutt's mouth a second after opening it)
 * (Gallus): "Where did he get Hot Sauce anyway?!"
 * (Smolder): "Well, Fu-Xi and his possie do tend to travel outside their native homeworld. Obviously, he came to have gotten it from a store somewhere off-world."
 * (Gallus): "..... Point taken." (This happened)
 * Drybutt: OHHKUYY, OHHKUYYY!!! (They let his tongue go) I DID IT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF THE WATER!!!
 * Headmaster:... (Sighs), Should've expected this, given YOUR history. You said it was to renovate the hippalctryon surveillance effort. Instead, it's to make Mount Aris less inconvinent to your personal woes with water. Unfortunately, lying in a report is a punishable offense. And according to the memories of everyone here, you violated several regulations.
 * Drybutt: Wait, you're telepathic?!
 * Headmaster: No, that would by my father. I have mneumokinesis. I can control memories. And theirs convinced me that you are unfit to be an embassy member. So you are not only fired, but you are sentenced to imprisonment...... IN SEAQUESTRIA!!!!
 * Drybutt: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
 * Skystar: Oh, what a fitting punishment for an aquaphobic ass like you.
 * Novo: LANGUAGE, YOUNG LADY!!
 * Silverstream: Hey, you gotta admit, with a name like Drybutt, I shouldn't feel so surprised.
 * (Gaster): "Wow, a story that doesn't end with a spontanious reformation."
 * (Silverstream): "Yeah, Drybutt became more of a..... Work in progress sort've deal. Anyway, after Drybutt was placed in a speical aqua tank cell giving a merpony form and an absolute disabling of his dehydration ability thanks to special power negating water, courtesy of miss Cao, Facula had a chance to confront the Headmaster."
 * Facula: "Headmaster, a moment of your time...... I.... I need to ask something personal."
 * Headmaster: "Is is related to your mother?"
 * Facula: "How did you-..... Oh, right, you can control memories. Doi...... (Clears throat) Ahem...... Yes, it is."
 * Headmaster: "(Sighs), Figures this would come up. I must warn you ahead of time that whatever you ask, I am only limited to what the rest of the embassy wants. And, I must warn that, not alot of them have positive feelings of your mother for suggesting compromises with the hippalctryons after how they asked too much for their victory spoils. The hippalctryons already made us forsake a part of us many were once proud of, now only look in shame. Now those bitter sore victors want to control every aspect of our lives. Please know that when the Embassy turned on your mother, it wasn't out of complete malice, but fear of losing too much to them. The embessy was only trying to protect what is left of our way of life."
 * Facula: "Well, to me, it felt like they were protecting their power over us, and Drybutt proved, that we Hippogriffs haven't been very good at taking care of ourselves either..... I know you said any request would be too much to ask, but..... I want my mother to be un-banished."
 * Headmaster: ".... Well, we have been keeping track of her since, primarily to monitor her cause some, more paranoid members, fear she would come back with a coup or insurrection as an act of revenge. But, there's the matter of even reversing the exile. Even if I tell them of Drybuttocks' tomfoolery, they would still not be so quick to overlook the fact that you still ruined a Sky Day Cloud Tree, of which the homeland deems, highly sacred. They would not make peace with any act against the Embessy, nevermind a demand to allow your mother back, in fearing she would aim to revive her attempts to make peace with the hippalctryons and lose everything to them."
 * Facula: "With as much due respect, Headmaster, but.... Maybe the Embassy no longer deserves to run us."
 * Headmaster: "I understand your feelings, young one, but be informed that the hippalctryons would not be better caretakers. Anything the embassy does, the hippalctryons would push changes even harder and be even MORE unforgiving then even the strictist Embessy member. You know well of what the hippalctryons wanted."
 * Facula: "Why did you think mother wanted to make compromises?"
 * Headmaster: "Many members assumed she was being idealist. She didn't understood the absolution of the hippalctryons."
 * Facula: ".... Did she ever say she knew how to work with them?"
 * Headmaster: "..... My understand's abit, rusted, but, I seem to recall that, she referenced that you were dating one of the hippalctryons? Admittingly, even the kindest of the embessy were skeptical of that claim, all things considers with that ever infamous war we had with them. It would be more likely for a pony to be romanticly invested with a dragon then between our kinds after that war!"
 * (Smolder): "Imagine his surprised if he met Spike. (Chuckles)."
 * Facula: "..... Headmaster, everything mother said about that is true."
 * Headmaster: "You're sure about that?"
 * Facula: "Analyze my memory if you're skeptical too!"
 * Headmaster: "..... Okay, give me a moment to see this for myself." (Reads her memories)... Your hippalectryon boyfriend is named Meteor Shower.... He's a royal guard.
 * Facula: And the son of-
 * Headmaster: Lord Meteor Storm. One of the nastiest members of the Hippalectryia Council and former Hippogriff-Hippalectryon War veteran. He's pretty much the biggest voice behind the very excessive demands the Hippalectryons wanted and why the Embassy wouldn't back any compromise. They didn't want him to be given a chance to call the shots over Hippogriff socity.
 * Facula: So what're we gonna do? Will I ever get my mother back then if the Embassy's so afraid of Hippogriffs being at Meteor's mercy, or, lack-there-of?
 * Headmaster:... I'm going to personally meet Meteor Storm face-to-face, and get him to cough up everything he did wrong.
 * Facula: Are you sure that's a good idea, Headmaster?
 * Headmaster: Well, the first step of fixing this is not only a summit to fix or decommission the Hippogriff Embassy to make sure our power isn't abused again, but bring down any hippalectryon delinquents using our faults against us.
 * Facula: So, a Hippalectryon-Hippogriff summit?
 * Headmaster: Exactly. But first, we must call out the Drybutt from the other side...... Did I really just say that? Point is, Meteor may be due of some reflection of his own. I ensure you that if Meteor is passifived, or at the least is no longer in a position to aggrovate those that fear Hippalectryon takeovers, the Embassy Members will be eased to allow your mother back. Now, be informed that it won't be a quick and easy process. This IS Meteor Storm, after all. But, I will offer a suppliment until things are all set and settled. I'll take you to your mother's exile residence. I would imagine the poor girl could use a chance to see her child, never mind some overall visiters at all.
 * Facula: Oh thank you so much, Headmaster.
 * Skystar: But you know? The Sky Day Cloud Tree could be more refined here for the Three Days Celebration.
 * Novo: I couldn't agree more. Bring me the other Pearls. (The security jellyfish that holds the pearl detached itself and brought out five other pearls, as she had it let out watery clouds of magic through the six which restored the Sky Cloud Tree into a more elaborate one with swimming pools, bigger waterfall complexes, and large tree and cloud systems)
 * Skystar: Since when could the security jellyfish chandelier do that?
 * Novo: Abysswish had a lot of surprises I weren't ready for before she died. This creature was apparently bred by her and has a magic capability of it's own. A conduit for all the Pearls of Maricolous.
 * Silverstream/Skystar/Terramar: Woooooow!!!
 * Novo: Consider this my gift for everycreature who helped save Mount Aris this year. This year, it'll be here for all three days, and next year, it'll be on the final day. (Everyone cheered)
 * Headmaster: And now, let us bring you to your mother.
 * (Silverstream): So the Three Days were back, Drybutt was sent to a Seaquestrian dungeon, pearl necklaces were unbanned, and Novo left to give Sandbar his gift. As for Facula...
 * A slightly aged Hippogriff female was seen nestled close to the fire.
 * Hippogriff: "(Sighs).... You try to get the embessy to play nice with the hippalects, and your ass gets banished for who knows how long..... I wonder how the family's been doing?"
 * Facula: Stop wondering, because I'm here. (Her mother was overjoyed as they hugged) Mother, things are going to change between the two races for good. A summit will decide the fate of the Embassy and that dirty Meteor Storm.
 * Facula's Mother: Well it's about time! This dumb feud and this dumb usury against each other has to end.
 * Facula: Well, Headmaster Atmos Sphere has said it won't be easy and take time, but, to make it easy, he brought the c*** into the summit, whether he likes it or not.
 * Facula's Mother: Heh, proud of you for insulting him so crudely, but still, LANGUAGE!!!
 * (Silverstream): So the summit has still been going on ever since, with Facula back together with Meteor Shower and Meteor Storm under probation.
 * Meteor Storm: Ugh, this is demeaning to my title! (Catchwind made him hit himself)
 * Catchwild: Shut up, c***. You've already demeaned your title.
 * Null: And you gotta suffer the consequences of your actions on both our race and yours.
 * Silverstream: And that's how I saved the Three Days.
 * Polarity: "Now that is a happy ending. Though, do ALL of your stories have to involve an antaginist? Cause facing off against a bad guy kinda distracts from the joy of the holidays?"
 * Yona: "Then you'll love my Snilldar Fest story, cause like Gallus, Fu-Xi had no reason to get involved with me. Though, it does have conflict in the form of my uncle, having a far from easy time accept the Yaks, "Primitive" ways. Long story short by the way, he's basicly among the few yaks with any ounce of intelligence in them, and he is NOT, afraid to show it. It didn't helped that apawn our arrival...."
 * Pinkie Pie: TIME FOR MY TOP-SECRET QUEST TO THE GIFT GIVERS?! (This gets Yaks attention as she raced off, as Rutherford was seen watching from the winder, face-hoofing.
 * Prince Rutherford: "Ughhhh. Pink Pony nice, but Pink Pony had sublety of Snow Serpent in beach."
 * Familier voice: "RUTHERFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD?!"
 * Prince Rutherford: "(This Video)"
 * Rutherford closed the door and covered alot of junk onto it.
 * Yakbrain's voice: "RUTHERFORD, OPEN UP?! I WAS JUST ARRIVING TO YAKYAKISTAN TAKING YOUNG YONA BACK HERE AND I HEARD WHAT PINKIE PIE SAID?! YOU AND I ARE HAVING A SERIOUS TALK?! WHAT DID SHE MEAN BY "GIFT GIVERS"?! DOES THAT IMPLY SOMETHING I SHOULD BE AWARE OF?!"
 * Rutherford: "Uhhh, Yak prince no home at moment. Please wait after beep...... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP?!"
 * (Gallus): "(Broke into uncontrolable laughter)! DID HE JUST BECAME PATRICK LEVELS OF STUPID?!"
 * (Yona): "Yaks weren't famous for their dodging stragities."
 * Yakbrain's voice: "...... Rutherford, please don't tell you thought pretending you were an answering machine was going to resolve anything."
 * Rutherford: "Number brother Yakbrain try to reach disconnected. Please try again."
 * Yakbrain's voice: "OH FOR ODIN YAK'S SAKE?! YAKTON!?"
 * Prince Rutherford: Okay okay. Brother can't sugarcoat it...
 * Yakbrain: NO GIFT GIVING SKILLS?!? ON SNILLDAR FEST?!? MY GODS, BROTHER, HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN DOING THIS THE TRADITIONALLY BRUTAL WAY?!
 * Prince Rutherford: Hundreds of moons.
 * Yakton:... How long moon again?
 * Yakbrain: Ugh, I can't believe you, brother!! This could've been prevented if I had been calling the shots.

Chapter 4: Enter Shiver and Gale
Near Mr. Yuletide. A Dark Mountain Cave. French Narrator: Several Hours of Scolding Later...
 * King Boreal was seen leading the heroes near the Mountain.
 * King Boreal: "This is where Shiver had been residing in ever since he went dark..... I must warn that the Mountain had gone..... Treacherious, ever since Shiver's self-exile."
 * Fu-Xi: "Oh worry not. Dealing with Treacherious things is all part of the job!"
 * Twilight: "... Okay everyone. Let's go forth! (The group began charging up the mountain path as Boreal looked on.....)"
 * King Boreal: "..... Hearth's blessing, heroes. And good fortune......"
 * The Heroes charged in and destroyed the cave doors!
 * Starswirl: "Okay Shiver?! We're here to bring justice apawn you for having the Hatred Spirits attack us?!"
 * Po: "Get ready for some holiday justice, Shiver!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "So ya may as well show yourself?!"
 * ???: "..... Oh, good....... You're right on time."
 * Lights turned out to reveil a dark black-ice frozen room filled with Hatred Spirits......
 * Figure: "(Coming forth) Welcome to my workshop....."
 * The figure reveiled himself as the same necromorthic frost-bitten Reindeer, as the group gasped!
 * Lord Shiver: "The Cave of Shiver?!"
 * Boss Wolf: "Wait, workshop? Like, Santa's Workshop?"
 * Lord Shiver: "Yes.... Only....... I, was the HEAD Hearth's Deer!"
 * The Main 6 were surprised!
 * Fluttershy: "...... (Sheds tears) You mean..... You were...... Santa Hooves?"
 * Icky: "I KNEW THIS EPISODE WAS RIPPING OFF THE DBZ ABRIDGED CHRISTMAS SPEICAL?!"
 * Abridged Vegeta: "(Used a remote to pause) And, PAUSE?! Looks like once again those wiseasses of Scroop Corp owe us some god damn royalties."
 * Lord Shiver: "WAS, Santa Hooves..... That name is but a retired title I bare no longer."
 * Starlight: "Santa Hooves, why? Why re-create our enemies and have them attack us?"
 * Pinkie: "Yeah Santa Hooves?! Why?! Doing that is kinda..... EVIL?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "I'm the one with the list here,  I , deside good and evil! And alot of you, ARE ON THE TOP OF THE NAUGHTY LIST IN EQUESTRIA?!"
 * Spongebob: "(GASPS)!?...... (Gets sadder)..... As if Stephen Hillenberg's death wasn't bad enough!"
 * Lord Shiver: "And let's start with you! Sponegbob Squarepants and Patrick Star! Even with recent events in mind with what occured in your base of operations, it is but only part of a long, long, LOOOOONG list, of idiotic sins done onto others like Squidward! You're also very ill-suited leaders, as you do not quell severe disagreements and mostly just fool around as if you were still in the days where this respondsability was NEVER thrusted apawn you! And you, Squidward...... You're not always the better of their evils, as when you act out, the universe ALWAYS punishes you, you sad, phathic, medocere clarent player?!"
 * Squidward: "...... Mediocure?"
 * Lord Shiver: "And Sandy..... Don't think your advantage taking of gulliable simpletons of that one exspeariment has escaped my attention."
 * Sandy sweated at that.....
 * Lord Shiver: "AND YOU, EUGENE KRABS?!... Queen Gratuity, I mean just, WOW! There's not enough time in the day. Your greed just knows NO bounds?!"
 * Shenzi: "Hey back off, Antler-Head!? No one's perfect?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "How cosmicly ironic from you, given that you and your two idiot friends were involved in a successful conspiracty against a good king, just because he was only responding on legitamently cruel acts done by hyenas for many years, even if it got too far!"
 * Banzai: "Hey, in our defence man, Scar was a charasmatic fuck?! It's the british accent, I just know it?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "And you, Alex The Lion. The so-called "King of New York". You were not very fair to Marty ever since of a fateful insodent, albeit of his own accsidental doing, from being mad at him for ruining your luxery, biting his buttocks, negitive enfluence aside, not being able to tell the difference between him and other Zebras, and that stunt in what you had done with that circus, lying about being from a Zoo?! And you three behind him were no better, being interested in your own follies as well. And let's not ignore how you have embarrised your father, Alex, forcing him to give up his title so he couldn't exile you, and then leave Africa without him being aware of it."
 * Alex was made guilty.
 * Lord Shiver: "And the those of you who attempted to eat children or animals that can't fight back..... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?! (Those Lougers felt nervious)...... And then there's you, Po. The Dragon Warrior, then newly assended Dragon Master.... You are a phathic glutton who only got where he is, because Oogway could NOT curb his appresiation to your race for saving his life! Not to mention getting Shifu briefly replaced with Junjie, AND leaving the Jade Palace to Ke-Pa because of your ego, among others."
 * Mantis: "NOT COOL MAN?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "And then we come to the Masters of the Jade Palace?! You did not respected Oogway's decidion one bit, until the very end when he had defeated that figment of Shifu's shameful past, that was Tai Lung."
 * The Furious Five saw Shifu demoralised from this.....
 * Iago: "Buddy, you're just stepping on toes that shouldn't be stepped on!"
 * Lord Shiver: "As if I should be lectured by the former pet of a corrupt Grand Vizor."
 * Iago: "Oh please don't bring Jafar into this, it's just so PAINFUL?!"
 * Mushu: "Hey come now, man, you're just being an asshole now!"
 * Lord Shiver: "That's very hypocritial of you to judge me, when you were an incompident ansisterial guardian of the Fa Family that failed to saved one of them, only to redeem his title, to only THEN almost lose it again by trying to distrupt a marriage?!"
 * Mushu: "....... That hurts, man."
 * Baloo: "NOW JUST A MINUTE?! THAT'S GOING TOO FAR?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "Coming from a bear that disrupted the Panther's mission to return a child to the safety of his kind when a hateful tiger was on the prowl."
 * Skipper: "CUT THE EVIL SANTA CRAP, BUDDY?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON YOU PENGUINS?! You started the unforunate voyage torwords the wild to begin with. You Skipper, are filled with so many secrets and deceit, that your assusiates do NOT understand the FULL story of even your time in Denmark?! You spy on your own zoo mates, you abuse your younger partner's cuteness gift, you even ruin Christmas one time in your own show. Kolwalski, you are an incompident invention maker with devices that often worked AGAINST YOUR GROUP?! Rico.... Words, cannot explain what is wrong with you?! And Private:..... Well, actselly, you have been relitively good. (Conjures up a present) Here's your present. (Private squeed with joy as the present was given to him!)"
 * Kolwalski: "Lucky!"
 * Sir Hiss: "Okay, good sir, if you keep this up, we'll end up being here all day, we-"
 * Lord Shiver: "And you, Sir Hiss Hissingshire. You were a pitiful yesman to a tyrant that caused poverty!"
 * Sir Hiss: "(Droops)..... It, it wasn't by choice. My brother Fang was meant to have the title, but he vanished without a trace at the time."
 * Sparx: "Okay, Asshole, seriously, we would LITTERALLY be here for a long time if you point out each of our problems-"
 * Lord Shiver: "AND THEN THERE IS SPYRO, CYNDER, AND SPARX?!"
 * Icky: "D'OH?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "And now that I got the misfits covered, let's talk about their friends..... Twilight Sparkle and friends..... Your mistakes are as epic as any good accomplishment you had managed. The recent debacle with the Hippogriffs, goes, without saying.... Need I say more?"
 * Twilight: "Oh, of course he would bring THAT up!"
 * Lord Shiver: "And you, Jade Tusk of the Poison clan. You tried to help a rogue demi-god subugate all of Dreamworks China!"
 * Jade Tusk: "I aim to be better now."
 * Lord Shiver: "Lest we forget about.... STARLIGHT GLIMMER?! Not only did you revitalised a forsaken lesser Hippogriff philosity, but you also nearly destablised the space time continuum with your reckless time travel?!"
 * Starlight: "Ugh, I ALREADY HAD THAT HAMMERED INTO ME MORE THEN ONCE ALREADY?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "And YOU, Fu-Xi....... Again, Wow. I already wasted enough time complaining about the others. So how's about we talk about the fact you went from hero to villain all because of a few ungrateful fools?"
 * Fu-Xi: "Tch, you can thank Su Su Ka-Boom for that s***."
 * Lord Shiver: "And, you. (Turns his attention to Gazelle)......"
 * Gazelle: "Wait, what did I do wrong?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "Your ceaseless complaints to how reality does not match your preconvieced notion of what is fair, has rendered you proned to violent temper tandrums, and bringing more harm to wrong-doers then what was really required!"
 * Icky: "HEY, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT, OKAY?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "Not just that! If the right words were said by even a Mothron as minor as a chamber pot cleaner, you can become a danger, not just to your world of Zootopia, but everyone around you?! You are a danger to the entire Universe just waiting to happen if the right Mothron can make you crack?! You are not fit as a uniter?! You only got into the position, because the Lightfly Queen could not curb her thanks for your rescue of her, from what was otherwise a compident general, that didn't realise he had company?! Had he kept aware of his surroundings, YOU PROBULY WOULD NOT BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW?!"
 * Starswirl: "Well you can forget about scolding us?! Because the Pillers and the Founders are above letting insults get to us."
 * Lord Shiver: "Oh, actselly........ You're HER concern."
 * Rockhoof: "Wait, her wh- (The Pillers got blasted by a sudden ice blast that trapped the group in ice with heads exposed.)..... BY THE GLORIES OF THE ALICORNS?!"
 * ???: "Ugh, FINALLY?! I was wondering when you were gonna let me join in, Complainer the Black Skull Reindeer!"
 * The Founders gasped!
 * Clover: "..... Gale?"
 * An angered Windego showed up.
 * Gale: "WHO ELSE BUT, YOU HEART BREAKERS?!"
 * Huifang: "That actselly explains the whole Windego Ice Age Threat VERY much! (Jade Tusk Smacked her) OW?!"
 * Jade Tusk: YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT, HUIFANG!!
 * Clover: "Gale, what're you doing? Why are you involved with Shiver?!"
 * Gale: "AS IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW?! You did NOTHING to protect me from ponies that refused to see me as my own person  instead of just another mindless cold spewer?! They saw me no different then the rest of my people?! And now..... I'M GETTING EVEN?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "Henceforth, that she and I are working togather, to make it that henceforth, for all of you and this unforgiveable mistreatment for a sacred holiday, the only present I have for all of the world, IS A WINDEGO, ICE AGE?!"
 * Twilight: "...... Then we have no choice but to stop you and Gale?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "Go ahead and try, you silly-"
 * Gazelle aimed the Uniter Blade and blasted Shiver across the cave and into a wall!
 * Gale: "...... That, could've gone bett- (The Founders pounce onto Gale) BAH?!"

Chapter 5: A Ho-Ho-Holy Finale
School of Friendship. Outside The Cave of Shiver. Meanwhile, in the Cave of Shiver.
 * Gazelle: "..... Ya know, bad guys ALWAYS have SUCH a bad tendingcy to TALK too much, am I right?"
 * Fluttershy: "(Wimpers), Why did you have to hurt Santa Hooves so badly?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Fluttershy, he was trying to invoke a Windego Ice Age. I think it can be pardoned if some physical punishment had to be dealt with."
 * Gazelle: "That being said. Don't worry, Fluttershy, that blast was only strong enough to only knock him out, so- (Energy was seen forming around where Shiver was knocked into)....... Ohhhhhhhhh boy."
 * ???: "(Deeper voice) FOOLS?! YOU CANNOT DEFEAT SANTA HOOVES SO EASILY?!"
 * Icky: "BECAUSE ALLCHOURSE, WE DO HAVE ONE MORE CHAPTER AFTER FREAKING ALL?!"
 * Shiver rosed up as an Alicorn-Sized Super-Reindeer that towered over the heroes.
 * Shiver: "...... Giselle Horndreas."
 * Gazelle: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh boy."
 * Shiver: "'Yule' regret your actions, against Lord Shiver!"
 * Gale: "OH ALICORNS DARN IT, NOW YOU GO HIM SAYING CHIRSTMAS PUNS?!"
 * Gazelle: "..... Oh, "Yule". Like the log. Right, I see what you did the-"
 * Shiver charged up an attack!
 * Gazelle: "OH HOLY NIGHT- (Gets blasted by Shiver's attack as Gazelle was able to use the Uniter Blade for defence, but the spell was sappening the Uniter Blade's power, rendering it momentarly useless, as Gazelle crashed into the cave wall) OHHH?!...... Owwwwwwwwww. (Gazelle plopped to the floor beaten)."
 * Applejack: "Annnnnnnd The Uniter's down and out."
 * Lord Shiver: "You only succeeded in freeing my new form from the leftover shell of my, Chirstmas Eve-olution."
 * Icky: "....... REALLY, DUDE?!"
 * Gale: "Trust me, it'll get worse?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "You see, misfits..... You're not dealing with the average Head Hearth Reindeer of Equestria anymore."
 * Huifang: "KINDA OBVIOUS WHEN YOU MUTANTED?! (Jade Tusk smacks her) OW?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "...... You are dealing, with the Hearth GOD?! And I'm a right GRUMPY old Reindeer!"
 * Shiver began fighting with the group as this music was heard!
 * Fu-Xi: "(Began charging up a chi-attack) EAT SOME MILK AND COOKIES IN HELL?! (Fires the blast that hits Lord Shiver as a large chi-sploudion was seen)........ Yippie-Ki-Yay, (Sees that Shiver was still Standing) MOTHER FUCKER?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "..... (Does a pose)...... You better watch out. (Charges up his antlers)."
 * Fu-Xi: "Huh?"
 * Lord Shiver: "You better not (Eyes get glowy) cry."
 * Fu-Xi: "Ohhhhh s***!"
 * Lord Shiver: "You better not pout...... BUT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE?!"
 * Patrick: "HEY THAT'S NOT HOW IT GOES-"
 * Lord Shiver: "Santa Hooves is takin', you, down! (Fires the charged up attack at Fu-Xi as he dodged in a panic!)"
 * The attack did great deals of damage to the cave!
 * Jade Tusk: "(Quickly came to his aide) MASTER FU-XI?! ARE YOU OKAY?!"
 * Fu-Xi: "GOD DAMN, HE'S A TOUGH MOTHERFUCKER?!"
 * Icky: "THE GUY IS EMBUED WITH THE POWER OF BELOVED HOLIDAYS, ALCHOURSE HE'S GONNA BE POWERFUL?!"
 * Lord Shen: "HOW THE DEVIL CAN WE DEFEAT SOMEONE OF SUCH RAW POWER?!"
 * Twilight: "...... It's obvious we can't beat him like we normally do with threats. He's only like this because he's bitter about how much the holidays have been treated with the same vain as an excuse to get items for a cheaper price and caring more about presents then the thought behind it! He's upset about the commericalisation of the holidays?!"
 * Skipper: "So what?! Are you saying we should be like commies and end capitalisum?!"
 * Twilight: "No...... We need to show, that underneath all of the product-sensationalisum, christmas parties and lewd holiday underwear, that the real spirit of the holidays is NOT gone!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "He kinda looks dead convinced that the spirit's gone!"
 * Spongebob: "...... I know the BEST WAY TO RESOLVE THIS?! Keep him busy guys?!
 * Spongebob ran off!
 * Spongebob chanted "Back to the School" in the tune of "Hi-Ho-Silver" as he was running cartoonishly fast!
 * Rarity: "...... I, hope Spongebob knows what he's doing."
 * Polarity: "Thank you SO much, guys. Each, and every one of you, made me feel, so welcomed here, and, I look forword to start doing good things in this schoo-"
 * Spongebob: "(Shows up quickly and grabs Polarity) I need to borrow Polarity, bye! (Zooms off while taking Polarity!)"
 * Little Dipper: "..... Great Alicorns, that's the fastest any new student got to be involved in saving the world."
 * Spongebob arrived with Polarity.....
 * Polarity: "..... Goodness?! What're we doing in Mt. Yuletide, Mr. Squarepants?"
 * Spongebob: "(Pants), Please, Mr. Squarepants was my father's name. Call, me, (Pants), Spongebob."
 * Polarity: "Well, why am I here, Spongebob?"
 * Spongebob: "(Finally catches his breath)..... Okay, let me explain as quickly as possable."
 * Pang Ping was tossed to the ground as she shouted in pain!
 * Shiver landed before her.
 * Gilda: "(Zooms in) I GOT YER BACK, CA- (Shiver bucks Gilda right into a wall!)....."
 * Lord Shiver: "What feline such as this, who is laying at Shiver's lap, is bleeding?!"
 * Pang Bing: "(Strained) Internally, mind you!"
 * Shiver picks Pang Bing and slammed her into the floor!
 * Pang Bing: "UGH, AT THIS RATE, I'LL BE DOWN TO EIGHT LIVES?!"
 * Lord Shiver: "Then I'll claim ALL OF THEM?! (Fires up a charged beam, but a light blast hits Shiver and protected Pang Bing!)"
 * It came from Gazelle.....
 * Gazelle: "...... Ya know, it's not nice to be mean to cats, good sir?!"
 * Lord Shiver looks annoyed at Gazelle.
 * Gazelle: "I mean, ya know, nothing personal, but, not really feeling the "Goodwill torwords men" vibe up in here, nor torwords cats, appearently."
 * Lord Shiver: "I'm all out of goodwill, but here's a stocking stuffer for you! (Charges up another attack!)"
 * Gazelle: "Okay, the holiday puns are starting to get alittle tiring now-"
 * Lord Shiver blasted Gazelle into the wall again!
 * Pang Bing: "GAZELLE?! (Gets up) I'LL SNUFF YOUR HOLIDAY LIGHTS OU- (Gets bucked in the face and crashes where Gazelle was)"
 * Icky: "HOW WAS GAZELLE ABLE TO USE A BLAST ANYWAY?!"
 * Shifu: "(Groans as he was getting up) Must've been a reserves power, and now with it used, Gazelle will take time to rechagre."
 * Jade Tusk: "(Was seen tending to a injured Fu-Xi) Trouble is, none of us might survive at that point."
 * Everytime the Lougers tried to fight back, Shiver was quick to counter-act and defeat them like they were nothing to him! Even Shen was ultamately helpless to him as he was smacked up and crashed and slidded across the cave.
 * Twilight: "Oh mane, this is BAD?! Shiver is too much for even the Strongest of Lougers?!"
 * Pinkie: "THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE FIGHTING SANTA HOOVES?! THE GREATEST HEARTH'S REINDEER IN EQUESTRIA?! ALCHOURSE HE'S GONNA BE TOO MUCH?! WE'RE GETTING PA RUM PUM PUM PUMMELED UP HERE?!"
 * Applejack: "I hope Spongebob knows what he's doing."
 * Fluttershy: "WE ARE GOING TO LOSE CHRISTMAS AND HEARTH'S WARMING, AND THE WINDEGOS ARE GONNA COME BACK, AND EQUESTRIA'S GONNA TURN INTO A GIANT REFRIDGERATOR, AND I DON'T WANNA BE HERE ANYMORE?!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "SO MANY WONDERBOLT EVENTS ARE GONNA GET CANCELED THANKS TO A NEW WINDEGO ICE AGE?!"
 * Starlight: "I'M SURE THERE'S MORE AT STAKE THEN SOME FLIGHT SHOWS GETTING CANCELED, DASH?!"
 * Rarity: "(Quietly) Now would be a good time for a drumatic enterence, Spongebob!"
 * ???: "HEY, SHIVER?!"
 * Shiver looked to see Spongebob.......
 * Shiver: "Ho, ho, Oooooh?"
 * Spongebob: "...... You think you're mad about the world forgetting the true meaning of the Holiday Spirit, Shiver? Well, you're no better, cause you forget it too when the Hatred Spirits took you over?!"
 * Shiver growled offended and charged up a beam!
 * Spongebob: "Because you see, Shiver? The Holidays, are not about presents...... (Shiver fired his beams as Spongebob dodged epicly, surprising the Lougers, Gazelle and others, gving them hope)..... It's not about the Figgy Pudding! (Shiver fired another beam, but Gazelle got up and deflected it back to Shiver to defend Spongebob, which hits Shiver, as the other Lougers, Fu-Xi and the Poison Clan got up and got to Spongebob's side).... Or the pretty lights...... Or the "Obnoxiously Catchy" music, as Squidward likes to call it. And most of all..... IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU?!"
 * Lord Shiver growls!
 * Lord Shiver: "FOOLS?! (Charges up another attack) I'LL CRUSH YOUR HOLIDAY SPIRITS, AND THEN, I'LL SEND THIS NAUGHTY WORLD, INTO THE FROZEN OBLIVIAN, IT SHOULD'VE STAYED?!"
 * The Mane 6 entered Rainbow Power forms!
 * Twilight: "Spongebob's right! Hearth's Warming and Christmas is about the Bonds that bring us togather!"
 * Applejack: "It's about friends, and family!"
 * Rarity: "It's about the happiness of children and adults alike?!"
 * Pinkie: "And the joy of bringing that happiness!"
 * Fluttershy: "And the love that we can share?!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "AND PUTTING DICKS LIKE YOU IN THEIR PLACE?!"
 * All Main 6: "AND THAT'S THE TRUE MEANING OF THE HOLIDAYS?!"
 * The Battle Music entered an extreme climax as the Main 6 fired their Rainbow Power as Shiver fired his attack, but Rainbow Power proved greater, as Shiver was surprised by this power and screamed as he was overwealmed, beaten back to his normal form, as the the Hatred Spirits get trapped in the rainbow, and get sucked and evaperated into the Fires of Friendship!
 * Lord Shiver was back to his necromorphic form as the Rainbow Power recided, Shiver was breathing heavily, as the group proceeded to surround him.
 * Lord Shiver: "...... Please, spare me...... I only wanted the sactiny of the holidays to be spared from commercelisation, sensationalisum, and degeneratentcy?! I was only trying to protect the true meaning of the Holidays."
 * Starlight was the first to came up to him, looking firm, Shiver closing his eyes in anpisapating a final blow..... But instead, Starlight extended a helping Hoof, confusing Shiver.....
 * Starlight: "Like we would ever really hurt a Hearth's Reindeer. (Shiver fidgetly accepted the hoof, being lifted up). We just wanted the Hatred Spirits gone."
 * Spongebob: "Instead..... There's someone we think you should take the time to listen to."
 * The group moved out of the way to reveil Polarity, who was in awe and amazement of the display she priorly witnessed......
 * Polarity: "...... THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED?! (Spongebob cleared his throat).... Ahem, right, right..... Shiver Chill, I know you were upset about how the modern world has treated the holidays.... And yes. It can be concerning when people have forgotten the point of them. And yeah, the sensentionalisum and commercialisum, CAN be, abit much at times. And I'm not too crazy about the weird and, sometimes lewd things they do in the holidays neither...... But, I took the time to just talk to the right people, and.... I saw that, the spirit of the holidays didn't die... It just, evolved in a way a more outdated mind couldn't comprehend. But, if you have a chance to get passed it's weird and, questionable, modern traits..... You can still see that spirit alive and well..... And I learned so, from listening to their stories. (Antlers glew up up and began to show all of the stories of the Interacial Six and additional friends, and began singing in the process, which began healing the Broken Shiver back into a normal Reindeer as he was realising his mistake, which also purifived Mt. Yuletide as the black ice melted away and the Mountain became less scary, even Gale was having her ice heart healed by this, of which freed the Pillers, as apawn Song Climax, Shiver was restored to what he was truely was)...."
 * Shiver: "....... I..... I don't know what gotten over me..... I was too bitter about the way holidays are celebrated were changing, that, the Hatred Spirits made me something I wasn't..... It was me that lost my holiday spirit, not the world...... I'm sorry, everyone..... And thank you for getting my goodwill back."
 * Gale: "(Sheds icecube tears)..... And I'm sorry too. (Hugs the Founders) I let my anger get the better of me. That won't happen again, I promise."
 * Hurricane: "Ya know what else won't happen again? Us picking reputation over friendship."
 * Platinum: "For now on, all that still hold hard feelings for what the Windego Race did to ponies and other races alike be damned. We will stand by your side, even at the price of no longer being popular with undesireable charlatins."
 * Gale: "..... That, means so much to me, guys."
 * Clover: "Also, Gale..... The world has soften down it's harsh viewing on Windegos, well, at least, enough that they might cautiously try to know you better. You might be Equestria's means to understand the Windegos better, maybe even find a way to mend their frozen hearts as well."
 * Gale: "That's all I wanted to do this entire lifetime, guys."
 * The Pillers stared on amazed.....
 * Starswirl: "..... Well, this is, certainly, an interesting revelation, Clover. We diffently need to look more into that one of these days."
 * Clover realises that Starswirl knows now....
 * Clover: "(Nerviously laughs)..... I guess, I owe you, so much explaining about how Gale was a thing, do I sir?"
 * Starswirl: "Don't worry, Clover. If the Founders have reason to believe that Gale is to be trusted, then the Pillers shalt not stand in the way. Cause obviously doing so would only hurt a friendship..... And that of a very unique discovery about the Windegos of which we still barely understand about."
 * Clover squeed!
 * Clover hugged Starswirl who was surprised!
 * Clover: "THANK YOU, THAT MEANS SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE ON OUR SIDE?!"
 * Mistmane: "(Chuckles), Starswirl, you old softie."
 * Rockhoof: "Guess you ain't always so strict with your students after all, Swirl."
 * Shiver: "... Is there, anything, I can do to repay you all?"
 * Huifang: "Healing our busted asses is a nice start- (Jade Tusk smacked her) OW?! My Shiver Wounds!"
 * Shiver: "Oh, oh.... Right. Sorry about that, wasn't in the best of mindsets. (Creates a blinding light that fades in the scene)."

Epilogue
School of Friendship. Dragon Realms. The end.
 * Friendship Students and little fillies and colts alike were lined up to ask Shiver, the restored Santa Hooves, along with the present Aurora, Bori, and Alice, what they want for Hearth's Warming, as Polarity stood next to Boreal.....
 * Boreal: "...... Polarity, I am proud of you this day..... You not only got to save Equestria from a threat..... But you restored Shiver back to what he once was. You saved both holidays, and, (Looks at Gale and the Founders rekindling for lost times)..... Restored a lost friendship once buried in the ice of time. You are already on your way of becoming a Hearth's Reindeer."
 * Polarity: "Thanks, daddy..... But I couldnt've done it, (Looks at the interacial students)..... Without my friends showing me what I needed to fix Shiver."
 * Gallus: "Ya know, hard to believe that we once again helped saved Equestria, from only telling stories to a new kid."
 * Sandbar: "I know, right? Even when we're not trying nor even directly involved, we're good at saving the day. So, who wants to hear about the time where I accsidently looked at my parents kissing very proactively under the missletoe?"
 * Smolder: "Tch, Sands, your such a crack-up."
 * Shore: "(Lifts up a missletoe over him) (Romanticly) But he's MY crack-up. Care for a life deminstraightion on how your parents kissed?"
 * Olhar: "Hey now, lover birds, if your gonna do that, at least take it out of sight of children."
 * Shore: "(Grabs Sandbar) My room! (Slides away in high speeds holding Sandbar)!"
 * Gallus: "Oy. Not even on the holidays are we spared from those two playing grab- (Remembers that there's children present)...... Butt."
 * The Lougers were seen in very festive attire, even Fu-Xi and the Poison Clan.
 * Icky: ".... Don't ya just love happy-sappy christmas endings?"
 * Lord Shen: "...... Spongebob, we're proud of you..... You acted more like a leader then..... Virtually almost never in the series before. You have indeed showed more maturity then your usual shenanigans normally showed."
 * Spongebob: "Thanks Shen. That means alot-"
 * Lord Shen: "But we're still being cautious about leaving you in the Dragon Guardian Temple alone with Patrick without a caretaker."
 * Spongebob: "..... (Deadpan) Fair enough."
 * Lord Shen: "..... But in all seriousness, you still done exceedingly well today. And that's more then enough for all of us."
 * Viper looked excitedly thrilled while on a communicator!
 * Viper: "OH THANK YOU SO MUCH, UNCLE COPPERFANG?! (Hangs up!) Guys, Uncle Copperfang not only managed to restore what he had in the Dragon Guardian Temple, but our friends each added something to make it better?!"
 * Icky: "Tch, we'll be the judge of that for oursel-"
 * The Dragon Guardian Temple was now upgraded with Kratosian, AUUian, and Futurasian Tec and made better, more durable then ever!
 * Icky had a cartoonishly exaggerated face.......
 * Lord Copperfang: "You like? I spared NO expendence, and neither did EACH of your friends."
 * Mr. Krabs: "It's, beautiful...... AND WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?! (JUMPS UP) YIPPEE?!"
 * Xandy: "Happy holidays, Lougers."
 * Ororo: "From all of us, a more durable Dragon Guardian Temple so it can even survive against Spongebob and Patrick's Shenanigans."
 * Lexus: "And uh, a few nice things extra for some more luxery convinences on when you wait for the next bad guy problem to show up."
 * Spongebob: "Awww, shucks. You guys are the best. Eggnog's on the house!"
 * Everyone proceeded to go inside, as Santa's Slay flies by!
 * Santa: "Ho-ho-ho, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night, and a very brief cameo from me! Ho-ho-ho!"
 * The Slay flies off and sprinkles the scene in magical dust that spelled out.....
