How Diamond Tiara Stole Hearth's Warming

by Shadowmane PX-41

Chapter 1: The Night Before


On the night before Hearth's Warming, all through the town. Everypony was smiling, no-one found a frown. Ponies were playing and chatting in the snow, and all was festive both to and fro. On the 25 every year for all ponykind, the ponies of Ponyville needed to remind. That this was Hearth's Warming, no time for pain, for this was a time of forgiveness and gain.

But somepony found the happiness quite sickening and after watching them playing, her anger was quickening. Diamond Tiara was her name, a cold hearted filly. Who only thought of misery and being recklessly silly.

"Look at them playing in this miserable snow." She said at the same time her anger did grow, "Hearth's Warming isn't about forgiveness and caring. It's about getting presents and never sharing."

She watched the ponies playing some more, a quite merry action that she did deplore, "Miserable blank flanks, and their parents. I hope that none of them get any presents!"

"Every year i see happiness and joy, an action that only i should have as my toy. I watch them every year, it's really quite plain, but ponies love the snow which isn't good for my mane. They open their presents when the day comes, and sing an annoying somg that quickly becomes, a hearth's warming carol, where do i begin? Every year i hear them sing, sing, sing, SING!!"

And the more Tiara thought of this Hearth's Warming sing, the more Tiara thought, "I must stop this whole thing! I've had quite enough of this happiness now. I must make sure Hearth's Warming doesn't come, but how?"

Then she got an idea, an awful idea. Tiara got a horrible, awful idea, "I know what to do." She said as a gloat, "i'll make a quick Santa Claus suit and a coat." Tiara implied, "What a great little trick, now with this coat, i look just like St Nick. While the ponies are sleeping in bed tonight, i'll give them a Hearth's Warming they'll remember alright!"

You're a mean one, Tiara.
You really are a bitch!
Your crown is full of smugness, your face just has that twitch, Tiara.
I gotta tell you, you're quite an evil, little snitch!

Diamond's sleigh started down to the town, where she stopped at the first little house on the square, and she knew with a tree in the window, Hearth's Warming was there. She climbed onto the roof, with her sack in her muzzle, but getting in and out to her was quite a puzzle. Then it hit her and she climbed down the chimney, it's weird but it Pinkie Pie can do it. She could easily. She silently landed in the dead fireplace, and saw all the presents neatly in place. But more pressing manners she did undergo.

"These stockings." She said, "Are the first things to go."

She slunk on the floor like a snake on the ground, making sure not to alert anypony she was around. Once she came to the presents, she slipped them in her sack, laying nothing but coal on her way back. Once her deed was done she clambered up the chimney, and raced off to the next house being oh so sneaky.

You're a cruel one, Tiara
You've got demons in your soul.
You're youthful and you're wicked. Your stuff was made from coal.
Tiara, you're as charming and fun, as an Ursa Major with a gun!

She came to a string of houses on the 3rd block she swept, and carefully preformed her burglary whilst they slept, "I've gotta say, this is so profitable." She said as she smirked being very despicable, "Maybe i could do this every year, but then again daddy could catch me or somepony might hear. I've gotta keep moving, quickly and silent." She said once she swept another present.

Sweet Apple Acres was her hardest one of all, seeing as there was no chimney or secret entrance hall, "I've gotta be careful." She implied, "If the Apple Family catches me, i'm fried!" She then opened the front door gently, for creaks. And made her way up, past all the storm leaks. Silently tiptoeing on the wood she crept, but stopped as she saw as Applebloom slept, a adequate group of presents under her tree, "I'll take your presents too, blanky!"

She carefully moved in a manner quite shrewd, making sure Applebloom would not hear her intrude, once making it to the tree, she snatched the presents, and silently crept out as the moon wasn't looking pleasant, "Time's running out." She said at the moon, "One more house to steal from, i've gotta do it soon!" The last house was a tree of massive size, a house that Diamond really did despise, The house of Twilight and her pet dragon Spike, a pony that Diamond really didn't like.

"How is she a princess? She said to herself, "The only things she did was for her friends' health." She climbed up the tree very quietly, and saw Twilight sleeping inside the tree. As she looked with anger she slid through the window, making sure not to wake the princess at the get-go. She then looked down on the floor below, at the sight of the presents, she said, "Hello!"

Quietly and carefully, she trotted downstairs, making sure not to wake the princess or any other mares. Once appearing at the tree, she squeed with delight and snatched every present before dissapearing into night.

You're a foul one, Tiara.
You're a misery feasting shmuck!
Your mouth is full of torment, your flank is full of shunt.
Tiara, the three words that best describe you are, AND I QUOTE, "THICK, FAT, CUNT!

As Hearth's Warming Day finally came, Diamond Tiara without sleep or shame, walked into her room and unwrapped the sack, thinking on which presents to leave at the back, "Now we'll see." as she peered into daylight, "We'll see who's got the most presents alright!" Upon looking outdoors, she saw not misery, but only ponies laughing quite cheerfully. They knew they already got what they wanted, families and friendship, a gift undaunted. Diamond Tiara could not believe her eyes, seeing happiness instead of a miserable surprise, "But how could this be?!" She started to get mad, "I took all their presents, they should be sad!"

Then it finally hit her, "Oh my god, i've finally become become the biggest jerkwad! I shouldn't get angry if ponies are happy, in fact it's not long until they get some misery. So i'll let these ponies have their Hearth's Warming, and brush up on my skills, a new year is dawning." And with that, she took back her sack, and dashed towards Ponyville, never looking back. And gave everypony the presents she stole, and made everypony's holidays whole. They now had friendship, happiness and gifts, a magical combo that can fix any rifts.

So i say to you and to everyone's delight, Happy Hearth's Warming to all, and to all a good night.

Author's Notes:

Thought i might as well do it, since it's Christmas/Hearth's Warming.

Sorry if it's a little shorter than what you'd expect, i had a limited rhyming dictionary.

I'm also not Zecora, strangely enough.

Happy Holidays everyone!
