I blew up what felt like a hundred balloons, but looking back at my work, I blew up at least thirty-two.

"Balloons..." Pinkie said looking around the room. "check. Streamers..." Pinkie said looking up at the ceiling. "check. Cake..." Pinkie said looking at the Christmas colored cake she made. "check and delicious. That's everything except for party guests." Pinkie said looking happy she was finished.

Great, my so called friends. The ones that keep pushing me on dates, double dates, or a blind date that they would trick me onto going. Why can't they see, until there is proof Ezio is dead, i'm not going out with any-- *knock knock*
My train of thought was derailed by a loud knocking at the door.

"Who is it?' Pinkie said as she bounced her way to the door and looking through the small spyglass on the door.

"It's Eclipse and Dontoa. Please Pinkie let us in. It feels like eighty below." Eclipse said as Pinkie turned the locks as they made a soft 'click.'

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" Eclipse said as he was levitating his secret Santa present for Pinkie Pie.

"An hachy newt yearch." Dontoa said with a long black box in his mouth, his secret Santa gift to Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Pinkie. Hey Dash. It's freezing out there. I think the Wendigos are ticked." Eclipse said as he kicked the doors closed and levitated the present on the candy cane color table.

"Hey Dash. How ya holdin on?" Dontoa said approaching the sad mare.

"Same as yesterday. Missing Ezio." Rainbow Dash said with her head down.

"Well i'm sorry for that. I think you'll like my present now." Dontoa said nuzzling the small box towards Rainbow Dash as she opened it and pulled out a necklace with a gold chain tied to a hole above above the strange words.

"San Expedito. What's that?" Rainbow Dash said as she look at it in a confused way.

"San Expedito, according to Ezio, is the patron saint of good luck. Occasionally, before he left to go somewhere, he would pray to this necklace. He might have been talking Spanish every time, but I know he prayed for luck every time. He gave it to me and Eclipse as a memento if he didn't come back." Dontoa said looking down as Rainbow Dash gave him a massive hug.

"Thank you Dontoa. I love it." Rainbow Dash said with tears going down Dontoa's back.

Hours passed and soon Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight arrived at Sugercube Corner even though every minute, the temperature dropped until the thermometer couldn't go any lower.

"Great party as always Pinkie Pie." Twilight said as yelp of pain split through the music.

"Well I see Gummy got a little bit of teeth." Eclipse said keeping his new bloody hoof of the ground.

"Dude that doesn't look good. I think you gotta get that checked out." Dontoa said inspecting Eclipe's wound.

"Wouldn't go out there. Weather Team brought a snowstorm this afternoon." Rainbow Dash said getting her mouth out of a glass of punch.

"Then how's Rarity gonna get here." Pinkie Pie said as her hair fell and on cue the door flung open to show a frozen haired unicorn.

"I ccccant mmmove mmyy tteeettthhh." Rarity said as her teeth chattered like a skeleton.

"Well speak of the fashionista." Dontoa said as she slowly made her way of the fire.

"Well now that everypony's here. Let's party!!" Pinkie Pie said as she jumped in the air and the music started playing. Everypony was dancing and laughing except Rainbow Dash who was looking out the window and staring at Ezio's necklace.

"Ezio, where are you?" She said with a tear.
