Author's Notes:

Happy National Fruit Cake day, everyone!

“Mistletoe!” Adagio Dazzle cried as she held a branch of a plant with green leaves and white berries over the head of a fair-skinned male teenager. The teenager was wearing a gray beanie and unbuttoned red shirt over a white-and-gray striped V-neck. Clothing that soon had Adagio’s hands all over it as Adagio pounced on him, bringing him to the ground and planting a wet sloppy kiss on his face.

A woman with fiery red-and-yellow hair stormed up to the scene. Her teal blouse billowed slightly under her black leather jacket as she swiftly stepped up above Adagio and her victim who was trying and failing to get the mess of curly orange hair and the woman attached to it off of him.

“Adagio!” Sunset cried angrily as Adagio continued to ‘make-out’ with the boy under her, though with the beanie wearing boy’s struggling, this ended up being quite a bit of lip and face licking.

Adagio paused giving the boy yet another coat of tongue applied Adagio drool to slur out, “Wait yer turrn! Thersh plenty of holiday ch-cheer to go ‘round!”

Sunset’s eyes widened. “Wait… How much eggnog have you had to drink?” Her eyes suddenly narrowed. “And did you spike it?”

“Who’sshh awshking?!”

Sunset’s left eye began to twitch. “Sunset Shimmer. You know, the girl who helped thwart your evil plot—”

“Down’t be hatin’ on my plot ‘caush you jelly!”

Sunset grit her teeth. “Not that plot! I helped stop you from getting all your siren powers back!”

Adagio paused, her hands pinning down the arms of her squirming, protesting victim. She turned towards Sunset and glared at her. “Hawve I made out with you yet?”

“… No.”

Adagio grinned evilly. “Well I will ssshoooon!”

With a huff, Sunset turned towards a group of students milling about Canterlot High’s indoor gym. She picked out a girl with twin-purple pony tails held in place by silver stars. “Aria! Can’t you restrain Adagio or… I don’t know, do anything?!”

Aria Blaze took a swig out of something in her red plastic cup and watched as Adagio shouted “Mishtletoe!” before launching herself on top of Fluttershy. Fluttershy let out a startled “Meep!” as her face flushed red and Adagio jammed her tongue down her throat.

Aria shook her head. “No way. She’s licked my face enough as it is.” She took another swig of her drink and gave Sunset an indignant look. “And excuse you, but I set up the tree!”

Sunset scoffed, glancing at the stage were a sad looking pine-tree branch with a single round red ornament. “Yes, I saw that. How very Charlie Brown of you.”

Aria furrowed her brow. “Who?”

Sunset smacked a palm against her face. “I can’t believe Principal Celestia allowed you three to organize the Christmas party after Pinkie got the flu.”

“Why don’t you get one of your other friends to help you if you’re that worried?” Aria asked.

“MAMMA SAID NOG YOU OUT!”

Sunset and Aria turned as they heard Rainbow Dash’s bizarre cry. Rainbow Dash and Applejack stood in the middle of a group of students, their faces practically buried in two red cups as they chugged the substances inside. Wearing a festive holiday dress with her cheeks flushed red on her white face, Rarity stood next to a tally board divided into an ‘AJ’ section in green and ‘RD’ section in red with equal marks in both. She clutched a red cup in one hand as she held onto a green and a red marker in the other.

Sunset let out a sad sigh. “They seem to be getting into the festivities.”

“Yeah, putting Adagio in charge of drinks will make that happen.” Aria took another sip of her own drink, then frowned as she reached into a pocket. “Though, guess she pulled her punches a bit.”

Sunset furrowed her brow. “This is not a time for puns.”

“The heck are you talking about?” Aria asked as she pulled out a silver hip flask that bore a five-point purple star in front of a music symbol that resembled a straightened clef. With her right hand, Aria used her thumb and forefinger to expertly open the flask. She poured a brown liquid into the cup held in her left hand and closed the flask. “Look, this wasn’t my idea. Sonata practically leapt at the chance to participate in all this holiday garbage. Besides, our other idea for a tree fell through when Adagio put up too much of a fight.”

“Sonata!” Sunset cried in realization as she looked around the gym. She picked out the blue-haired girl ravaging the snack table as if she was about to hibernate for the rest of winter. She quickly sauntered up to her, forcing a smile. “Sonata… please… if anyone here can muster enough Christmas spirit to bring order to this mess, it’s gotta be you.” Sunset surveyed the drunken and disorderly mess of a party for a moment before turning back to Sonata, ratcheting up her fake smile to ‘11’. “Don’t you want to help your housemates to be nice so St. Giver will bring you presents?”

Sonata shook her head. “St. Giver doesn’t bring us presents, silly.”

Sunset frowned. “Wait, you mean to tell me you actually don’t believe in St. Giver?”

“What?! Nooooo!” Sonata exclaimed. “Of course I believe in St. Giver!”

“Er… Okay, then why don’t you think he’ll bring you any presents?”

“Because of all the crimes we commit on a near constant basis, obviously!”

Sunset blinked a few times before she could muster a response. “That’s… that’s the most crazy, sensible response you could have come up with.”

“Plus there was that time I tried to kidnap him.”

“… What?”

Sonata shoved a chocolatey marshmallow treat into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed. “Yeah, he’s pretty flexible for someone who's so fat. Even Adagio’s medieval torture stuff wasn’t enough to hold him.”

“… You know what?” Sunset said as she made an abrupt about face. “I think it’s time had myself some eggnog.”

Sunset made it to a bowl with a murky yellow liquid, grabbed a red cup, and ladled in some of the liquid. She took a few sips before she felt a light tug on her blouse. She turned to face a disheveled-looking Fluttershy.

“Su...Sunset…” Fluttershy said softly.

Sunset sighed. “Your tank top is inside out, Fluttershy. You might also want to track down your bra at some point.”

“Er… Probably the rest of my underwear too.”

Sunset winced. “Wasn’t really looking for more details there.”

“Erm… Right… um… Well… Adagio wanted me to give you a message.”

Sunset took a big gulp from her cup. “Lemme guess. ‘You’re next’?”

Fluttershy nodded. “Yeah… erm… She also said she’d be ‘coming for you’ while she winked a whole lot.”

Sunset rolled her eyes and turned back to her cup. “Classy. Well, I’ll keep my eye out for—“

“MISSSHLETOE!”

Sunset managed to let out a startled yelp before she was tackled to the ground and felt something warm, wet, and writhing shoved into her mouth.

Fluttershy looked down, her face turning red once more. “Oh my…”

“ADAGIO!” Sunset cried. “ST-BBURBLE-STOP!”

“Make me~!”

Aria walked up next to Fluttershy and casually ladled in more eggnog into her cup, glancing down at Adagio and Sunset.

“Adagio! Not… moan… Not there!” Sunset cried in protest as her physical forms of fighting back seemed to diminish in effectiveness almost immediately.

Adagio giggled. “I jush love how almossshh all you girlsh wvear shhkirsshts…”

Fluttershy leaned over towards Aria. “Do you think Sunset will get her off?”

Aria snorted and chuckled. “Not before Adagio gets Sunset off.”

“Trixie has nexties!~” Trixie sang out as she joined the group by the refreshment table.

Sonata was close behind Trixie with a massive smile. “And God bless us, everyone!”

Aria scowled at Sonata. “Stop saying that!”

“No!” Sonata replied.
