He couldn't believe that time was flying by like this as yet another two months went by. It was now winter and was a holiday that they called Hearths Warming Eve, which celebrated the three pony tribes coming together in friendship. Which once again rang familiar with another holiday as he sat there and watched the play.

It got everything down from celebrating the holiday with your friends and family, to giving each other gifts. They even had similar decorations like the ones he could remember from the holiday. This yet again made him feel a lot more at home, but he already felt at home for awhile now.

To top everything that's happened off so far with Twilight helping him, he was now over half way done with the book he wanted to write. But he still loved his job at the candy shop and would probably never want to quit for awhile. Which was fine by Bon Bon since he was a big help, especially moving vats of chocolate that weighed a hundred pounds.

"So basically you humans also have a holiday like this just like with Nightmare Night?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah, though it did change a lot over the centuries to where a lot of the time it was just about the presents. Don't get me wrong the true meaning was still taught as best as it could be, but sometimes humans are very greedy." He answered.

Though he still couldn't remember his own life he was at least able to remember more and more modern stuff and not just ancient stuff. But once he thought he managed to almost remember something about his life when he had found a ring in a hidden compartment in his suitcase. The ring had fit his finger perfectly, which did mean that it was at least made for him.

"Ah, yeah I've read up on this part of human history from those history books. Also, some of the books you donated said it was started by a guy named Saint Nicole's right?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, he went around every year with hand-crafted toy's and gave them to the kid's of his village, and surrounding village's. But I honestly have to thank all of you, for you all have made me feel like this is my home. A real home with all of the things you've done for me now, that is all of the gifts I need." He said a big smile on his face.

"Oh pish posh darling. We love having you here, and we're so glad that you're finally that comfortable with us. Just keep that in mind if you go back to your world." Rarity said her eyes widening a little.

"It's okay Rarity, and if I do ever return to my world I wouldn't forget any of you. After all, you're all like family to me now." He said making Rarity blush a little.

"So if we're considered your family now, can you tell us if you have your eye on anypony?" Rainbow asked.

"Aww, I was gonna ask that Dashie." Pinkie said with slight disappointment.

"Then you got to be a bit faster next time, so do you?" Rainbow pressed and all eyes were on him.

"Um, no not really." He said as a slight blush came across his face, which he hoped was covered by the cold weather.

"Oh come now darling, surely there's somepony that caught your eye by now." Rarity said.

"Nope, not really. Hey, look at those lights." He said hoping to change the subject.

"Yeah, they're pretty and all but I'm a bit curious myself. Since it's obvious you're trying to change the subject, that must mean that you do have a crush on somepony. So who caught your eye?" Applejack asked.

"I'm not trying to change the subject, just taking in the scenery around." He answered.

"So have you read that book I gave you then?" Pinkie asked making his face heat up again hoping the cold hid his blush.

"N-no not yet, I've been a bit busy, sorry." He replied.

"Speaking of which, you still haven't told us what she got you. So Pinkie, what book did you get him?" Twilight asked with curiosity and excitement.

"Oh that's an easy one, I got him a copy of 'How To Please The Different Kind Of Mares Guide'." Pinkie answered bouncing all over.

"You gave him that book for his birthday? No wonder he won't read it, I mean he's too embarrassed to even admit that he has a crush on somepony." Rainbow said busting out laughing.

"How could you of possibly have thought that was a good gift to him after only he was here for about two months or so?" Rarity asked.

"Because I thought he already had a crush on somepony, and I thought it was a mare. So I decided since he's new here he'll need all the help he can get." Pinkie said with enthusiasm.

"Hey, where did Brandon go?" Applejack asked and everyone started to look around in confusion until they saw a piece of paper on Applejack's hat.

"What's that?" Twilight asked lifting the piece of paper off with her magic. "It's a note, from Brandon. But when did he have time to write this? And how did he even write it without any of us noticing?"

"Who cares, what does it say?" Rainbow asked impatiently.

"Let me see...

'Dear Girls,

I knew that Pinkie would eventually tell you all about what she got me so I took this extra precaution. Please don't worry I'll probably meet you back where ever we are either staying at or I ran back to my house. Hopefully, I die of embarrassment by the time you find me, and if not make it swift and clean?

Sincerely,
Brandon

P.S, Enjoy the rest of your day.'

And that's all there is." Twilight said.

"So he probably went back to the hotel or something. But at least that explains how he wrote that without us noticing." Rainbow said.

"Yeah, just go easy on him it is Hearth's Warming Eve and all. But again Pinkie, you did seem to have his best interest at heart but why would you give him that? I mean you know how easy it is to embarrass or scare him sometimes." Twilight asked.

"Yeah, but I thought it really would help him out!" Pinkie was a bit deflated now.

"I wouldn't worry about it, he did say he was a lot more comfortable now. He'll probably just forget about it soon enough." Rainbow replied putting a hoof around Pinkie in a half hug.

"Um, yeah he'll be okay as long as we don't um, tease him about it," Fluttershy spoke up.

"Alright I get it already, I don't need to be told by my marefriend as well," Rainbow muttered.

"Well, we better get back and see if he's in his room." Applejack suggested.

"Hey, why did he want to stay in a hotel instead of at the palace with the rest of us?" Pinkie asked.

"He said he rather not deal with the Royal Guard. Especially after he visited last time on his own, they nearly threw him into the dungeon because they thought he was sent to attack the princess." Twilight said with a long sigh. "It was because Luna showed up and set everything right that he didn't get thrown in there."

"Well, that was nice of her," Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, her and Brandon got along pretty well when they meet on Nightmare Night. Though I guess that's because they have a little in common." Twilight said.

"Oh really? What did they have in common?" Rarity asked.

"They both felt out of place. I think that was what actually made them friends, and from what Spike told me he and Luna have been writing each other." Twilight answered.

"So do you think his secret crush could be Luna?" Rarity asked with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

"It's a possibility, but I doubt it. From what Spike told me the letters that they send each other sound more like one's friends would send each other if they lived a long distances away from each other." Twilight answered.

"Well, I would still like to know who he has a crush on, even if he doesn't know himself. Or if he does and he's just cleverly just trying to avoid telling us, then we need to get the information out of him." Rarity said.

"Alright, but just don't try to pry for right now. After all, we need to make sure he isn't jumping off a cliff or anything." Rainbow said to everyone's surprise. "What? You all told me to not tease him about what Pinkie got him, so the least you guys could do is return the favor."

"Fine, you win." Rarity muttered but then something clicked. "You know who it is don't you?"

"Nope, have no idea," Rainbow answered.

"Tell me who it is." Rarity ordered.

"Not on your life, besides not even a hundred percent that it's her anyway," Rainbow replied.

"What do you mean?" Pinkie asked.

"Not gonna tell, not until I've got more information myself," Rainbow said.

"Will you all quit trying to figure out his personal feelings?" Twilight complained.

"Yeah, I think we bothered him enough about it already." Applejack said. "Besides this is still his first Hearths Warming Eve even if he did have a similar holiday from where he comes from that's pretty much like it."

"Alright fine," Rainbow said, followed by Rarity agreeing, and Pinkie doing her pinkie promise.

"Good, now let's get a going." Applejack said and speed up.

Happy Hearth's Warming Day so to speak.
