"Do not cry, my faithful student." Celestia approached Twilight Sparkle, gently lifting up her face with her wing. "I know you had the best of intentions, but you don't need to prove your love by showering me with gifts. Your love is already the greatest gift you could ever have given me, and I cherish it each and every day."

Twilight's eyes filled with tears. She strained to rest her head against her teacher's neck, and the pair embraced in front of the crackling fire. Then Twilight frowned. "You didn't get me anything either, did you?"

Celestia grinned. "Nope."
