“In pony vile there is the tradion of mistletoe. in pony vile, a kiss under the mistletoe represents togetherness of friendship and love that burns passionately for all time.” From princess celestia.

The book I was reading was about the legends and stories of equestia. It was interesting how important friendship was in equestrian history. I knew it was important but not this important but that’s beside the point. Flutter shy, ditzy and me were collecting mistletoes for the Christmas holidays.

We started by going to holiday hill, a area of equestrian that grows plants that go with the holiday that is coming. It was all maintained by a unicorn called cloud nine. She is a kind pony with a odd power. Her emotions determine the cloud that follows her. When she’s happy the cloud is sunny and calm but when she’s sad it’s grey and raining.

We needed to collect enough mistletoe for everyone in pony vile. 1 for twilight, 20 for pinkie pies Christmas cakes, 1 for flutter shy, 1 for apple jack, 1 for rarity and a couple dozen more for everyone else. There was a slight problem though when we got there. There was only enough mistletoe for half of the order.

I asked cloud nine about this and she said “ my garden’s not as well as last year. I recommend going to the next town over. They have plenty of spare mistletoe I think.” We went to next town over and as we walked I asked flutter shy and ditzy if they’ve ever kissed under the mistletoe. Flutter shy said no but ditzy said yes. Ditzy said “the person how kissed me was um… you know I forgot. ”

Flutter shy said “I’m not really into the mistletoe kiss thing. It seems too risky”. I said “look when you’re under the mistletoe, you give a little kiss and there it’s done no big deal”.  Flutter shy replied with “no it’s just that most people that kiss under mistletoe end up together”.

Normally I would say something about this but considering what can happen in equestia, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was true.  Ditzy had a idea “what if you 2 kiss under the mistletoe”? our reactions were “WHAT?” I was curious and asked “WHY US?”  Ditzy replied with “you 2 are friends aren’t you and you do like each other right?”

Living with ditzy in her home has taught me that she can be a bit random and she actually helps with some of pinkie pies more random cupcake recipes but this was surprising. I did say yes to the question but after that we headed to get the mistletoe.

It was kinder awkward to say the least though ditzy seemed fine. I asked flutter shy were the mistletoe was and she said it’s at a farm up ahead. We got there, collected the mistletoe and headed back. It started snowing on the way and it became very difficult to see which way we were going. Ditzy flyed upwards to see ahead and saw some lights.

The lights were coming from the holiday hill. We went there to escape the storm and when we got it turned out that cloud nine had used her cloud to create lighting to show were every pony should go which is rather nice of her.

We went the holiday hills but as we got there, flutter shy passed out, probably from the cold. I carried her and ditzy lead the way. When we got to the holiday hills cloud nine let us stay in her home. She checked flutter shy and she said “she passed out due to the cold. She’ll be a minute or 2 to wake up. I’ll make some hot chocolate”.

Flutter shy woke up and she was laying next to the fire to warm up. I brought her the hot chocolate and she said thanks to me and cloud nine for saving her.  She said “I have no idea why I passed out. I’m sorry if it I was any trouble.” I said “no worries. You are my friend and will do anything to save a friend’s life” we looked up and there was mistletoe.

We decided to get it over and done with so we did a quick kiss and that’s all. It was nice and tasted like strawberries and roses for some reason but it was nice. Ditzy came in said “what did I miss” I replied with “hot chocolate and mistletoe but nothing much” ditzy oddly enough, got the berries from the mistletoe and but them in the hot chocolate and then drank it. Odd.

We got ready to leave. I pulled the cart with the mistletoe, ditzy kept watch in the sky in case of blizzards and flutter shy pulled along the smaller cart of mistletoe.

We got back to pony Ville and delivered the mistletoe. Pinkie made her cakes and everyone else had their mistletoe and I went to bed but before that flutter shy said “you are a really kind person you know that right?” with that said I went to bed dreaming of sweet dreams... and roses.
