Date: 24 of december, Heath's warming eve

Today has been good so far, I was able to hang out with Scoots and Nyx, then help Twi set up decorations for hearths warming, afterwards I went to hang out with Pyro, Nano, Spike and Rhino while they were at the weapons lab, practicing so we could preform tomorrow. We decided to practice with another song. Nano started with the symbols, making Al, Zii and Pyro start with their guitars.

When the song ended, I tried to catch my breath. I never got used to singing like that and for good reason.

"Dude, I didn't know you could sing." I heard Pyro say as I sat down.

"I don't normally sing, but when I do, I'm a fucking badass." I said as Nano tossed me a bottle of water.

"Yeah, I can see that." Pyro said as he put down the guitar.

"You should've seen him when we preformed in Holloween." Al said as he helped Zii clean up. Nano then displayed a holographic footage of the Halloween preformance. While he was showing it to Pyro, I took my chance and left without anyone noticing. I walked by the Jet-boarding room and went inside for the jet-board and grabbed one. I then went to walk out of the lab and back to Ponyville.

I arrived at Ponyville, but ended up at Sweet apple acres. I was walking along the dirt path and passed the barn. I looked at the barn and noticed the door opened, so I went to check out what was going on in there.

"But what if everyone finds out?" I heard Rhinos voice through the door.

"Then we be truthful with them. We have to tell them eventually, we can't just keep our relationship a secret forever." I heard AppleJacks voice in the barn also.

"What's going on here?" I asked as I entered the barn.

"Jak! Um h-hi buddy, what are you doing here?" Rhino said.

"You two really shouldn't hide it. I'm happy for the both of you, as long as you're happy." I said, leaning on one of the support pillars.

"You heard?" A.J asked.

"Yup. I kinda of expected this to happen. So, when did you two started seeing each other?" I asked them.

"Four weeks ago, just after applebucking season." Rhino said.

"We started as really good friends but then one thing lead to another and here we are." AppleJack said as kissed Rhino.

"Good on ya, mate." I said to him as I started walking out.

"Hey, you're not telling anypony, right?" A.J asked as she grabbed my arm.

"No, that's not up to me." I said as she let it go and I walked out.

After leaving the barn, I stopped by the CMC clubhouse to see how they're doing. I peeked up the window.

"Hey girls." I greeted the four fillies.

"Hey dad!" Greeted Nyx and Scootalo.

"Hi Jak." Sweetie bell and Applebloom greeted. I saw them painting and decorating the inside of the clubhouse.

"I see you four are getting ready for tomorrow." I said to them, gaining nods from all of them.

"Alright just checking. See you girls later." I said as I summoned my light wings and flew off.

Up in the air, I could see all of Ponyville and the ponies decorating around town, I even saw a few with the new guard armor and it gave me an idea for another song.

I saw the library closing in, so I started to descend.

I landed in front of the door, opened it and went inside. I saw the main room decorated with various hearths warming decorations. I saw Twilight decorating...a tree?

"Twi, what's with the tree?" I asked her, gaining her attention.

"Well, I asked the princesses if you celebrated the same holidays and they told me that you had similar one called Christmas. So, I went to Pyro a few days ago and asked him about Christmas, he told me that it was tradition to have a decorated tree. Do you like it?" She asked as she walked towards me.

"No." I said as I looked at her and saw her sad look.

"I absolutely love it." I said as I pulled her in for a kiss. After the kiss ended, I helped Twilight continue with decorating the tree with light and Hearths warming ornaments, then put the star after everything else was finished. I told Twilight that I had Scootalos gift but needed hers and Nyx, so I went out again.

I took out my old Haven Communicator and sent a text to an old friend, telling him to fly here tomorrow with a book full of advanced spells. The communicator beeped, I looked at it and it said he'll be here tomorrow at 11:30 A.M. by transport ship. I then put the communicator away and started walking back to the Everfree castle.

The lab

I climbed down the ladders to the lab and went towards the room the guys were at when I left.  I found the room, opened the door and went inside and saw the guys sitting down having a nice conversation.

"Sorry about leaving earlier, I needed to get the gifts for Scoots, Nyx and Twilight." I said to them as I sat down between Al and Zii.

"It's fine dude." Al said with a toothy grin.

"So we ganna practice for the rest of the day or you guys want to tinker with the cars again." I said as Al and Zii got up and grabbed their instruments along with Pyro and Nano sat down at his drumset. I told them about a song I had in mind for playing for the ones who are serving in the guard and started. Next Chapter: Hearths warming Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 49 Minutes
