Today was Hearts Warming Eve and boy, was it hectic. The amount of customers that rolled into Barnyard Bargains on this day was insane. Even ponies from other towns to buy gifts for their foals and special someponies.

And you were stuck wrapping gifts.

It wasn't all that bad; it was kind of refreshing to see actually. Ponies were more than grateful to have you wrap their gifts. You were much faster than the rest of the other employees because of one reason: You had hands.

But there was one pony who was out-wrapping you.

That pink demon… Pinkie Pie.

You still didn't know how she did it so fast. It was just a quick whirl and she was done. But you couldn't let that get to you. You had to win.

The employee with the most gifts wrapped by the end of the day got New Years Eve and day off. As you continued your endeavors, something catches your ears.

"My dear, you are such a thrill to watch! Your hooves move like lightning!"

You look over to an overly dressed stallion who was talking to Pinkie.

"I must ask you dear, would you be willing to work at toy factory? I could use somepony like you!"

That grin.

It was back.

Closing your eyes, you brace yourself for it.

"Sorry sir, but I am presently employed."
