Hello everyone this is Keshaunthesilverwolf here with a Christmas special. This one takes place a few months after when the Dragon trio got to Canterlot. Hope you all love it.

(Intro sequence)
Pov: Keshaun
It's been six months since Caleb, Justice and I have been in Equestria. Ever since then I've been helping out with the guards and stores. Right now I'm helping Shining Armor with some training. We were in the backyard of the Sparkle house.
"Ok Shining, if you remembered from our last lesson never go head first for an opponent. Unless three things what are they?" I said talking a teacher.
"If they are weaker than you, the opponent is alone, and the opponent is blinded." Shining said as I nodded.
"Good job. Now I want to try what you learn against me." I said giving a small smile.
"Are you sure Keshaun?" Shining Armor asked.
"To make it easy. Just try to tap me anywhere on my body." I said handing him a foam spear.
I raise my hand and get into a brawler style of fighting. I gave a serious look at Shining wait for him to strike.
Shining sprints ahead as I prepare for him to get closer. Shining's horn glows as he shoots a beam of magic at me. I dodge by moving my head to the left.
I then noticed that Shining was leaping towards me. I do a 360 spin to dodge out of the way. Shining after landing turns around and pointing the spear at my neck. He taps my neck with the spearhead and smiles.
"Nice job Shining. You did something the Celestia's royal guard couldn't do." I said smiling.
"What's that?" Shining asked
"Get me off guard." I said as I flick his nose like a big brother would do to a little brother.
"Don't let that make you overconfident thought. Overconfidence in a battle can be a bad thing." I said handing him a water.
"Then why do you do it in any fight you have?" Shining asked.
"Because that wasn't overconfidence. That was having fun." I said playfully.
"What?! You weren't being serious in your fights?" Shining asked as I nod.
"Boys lunch is ready!" Night light said.
"Give me a second!" I said putting away the foam spear.
"All right I'm coming." I said walking inside.
"So what's for lunch today T.V?" I asked Twilight Velvet.
I gave Twilight Velvet that nickname to make sure of no confusion.
"Well I tried one the recipes you gave me when you told us about you old home. So I made you a bacon burger like the ones your mom makes." Twilight Velvet said hand me a burger with fries and a salad.
"Thanks Velvet. Also I wanted to know have you seen Spike?" I asked putting my plate on the table.
"Justice has him in his crib in your room." Twilight Velvet said handing Shining a Daisy and Tulip sandwich.
"Okay I'll go get them." I said heading to the stairs.
As I was heading upstairs I saw Caleb, Night light and Twilight Sparkle walking inside with a tree, and a few bags.
"Hey everyone. What's with the tree?" I asked.
"It's for Hearth's Warming Eve." Twilight said excited.
"Okay well I was about to get Spike and Justice. I'll ask about it when I come down." I said pointing upstairs.
Walking into the attic room Caleb Justice and I live in I saw Justice playing Sonic unleashed on Wii.
"Oh hey dude. What's up?" Justice asked pausing the game.
"Well I just finished some training with Shining. Twilight, Caleb, Night light are back with a tree, and lunch is ready." I said picking up Spike by his arms.
"How was Justice Spike? Did he great you well?" I asked Spike as he babbles and nods.
"That's good to hear. Come on man let's go." I said as Justice groans.
"I just started the Egg Dragoon man. Give me a few minutes." Justice said.
"We're eating burgers." I said as a blur of purple lightning zips by me and Spike.
"Be careful dude." I said walking down the stairs.
After walking back to dinning room table. I put Spike in a high chair.
"So what's Hearth's Warming Eve?" I asked sitting down.
"Well Hearth's warming eve is a holiday that celebrates the bonds we have with friends and family as sing in merryment enjoy good food and tell a story about hearth's warming." Twilight Velvet said eating her salad.
"So it's like Christmas?" Justice asked as I nod.
"What's Christmas?" Shining asked.
"Well it's allot like Hearth's warming in the fact that we celebrate the bonds of love ones and family." I said finishing my fries.
"Well I was wondering if you all could help me decorate the house after eating." Night light said as I nod.
"Sure. I can finish my game later." Justice said.
"I'll help set up the tree. Right after Spike eats." I said said walking towards the baby dragon with baby food Twilight Velvet handed me.
"I wonder if our parents are celebrating Christmas without us." I thought while feeding Spike a tear falls out of my eye.
He let's out a small burp and I take him out of the high chair.
"Hey you okay man?" Justice asked.
"Huh uh yeah I-I'm fine. Just thinking of something." I said wiping my eyes.
"Well let's setup a tree." I said smiling.
"You don't have to Keshaun. We can take care of the tree." Twilight Velvet said.
"Dude you don't have to hide this." Caleb said.
"Hide what?" I asked putting the tree down acting oblivious to what they meant.
"The fact that you aren't at home with your mom and having a good time on Christmas day." Justice said as I kept putting up the tree.
"Still don't know what you are talking about. I'm fine here putting the tree up and having a grand old time with my best friends, and a great family who are too kind for accepting us instead of treating us like TRASH BECAUSE OF THE FACT WE'RE DRAGONS!" I said grabbing a branch and squeezing it until it broke.
All of a sudden Spike begins to cry as I realized what I did.
"Sorry I don't know what came over me. Don't worry Spike it's okay, it won't happen again." I said as he stops crying.
"Hey let's talk about this another time. We have a few more decorations that to be set up." Justice said putting his hand on my shoulder.
Then the unicorn family, baby dragon, and teenaged dragon trio began to make the house ready for Hearth's warming eve.

A few hours after finishing decorations
"So Keshaun why did you say that?" Caleb asked.
"I have always had a Christmas with my mom or dad. The fact that we're here in Equestria made me realize that I never did something without them. Besides school. It was just heart breaking. I'm sorry guys." Keshaun said crying a little as Justice and Caleb hug him.
"It's fine dude." Justice said.
"Just talk to us about it any time." Caleb said smiling.
"Thanks you two." Keshaun said smiling.)
