Expiry: Never
-
1.
> I tucked my hooves into my pocket and shivered
-
2.
> It was freezing up here. I looked up at Cherry who was steering the balloon looking unfazed by the biting winds.
-
3.
-
4.
"So, your family has been doing this for how many years?"
-
5.
> "Over thirty years."
-
6.
"That's cool."
-
7.
> “Yep, It’s been getting busy over the past couple years. You’re actually the first pony outside the family to help.”
-
8.
“No problem Cherry, It’s what friends are for.”
-
9.
> “Aren’t we more than friends?” She asked flicking her eyebrows
-
10.
-
11.
> Cherry aimed a present over the side of the basket and tossed it down the chimney
-
12.
> "How's it going on your end?"
-
13.
> I sat in a pile of wrapping paper covered in tape and tags.
-
14.
"I think I need another drink."
-
15.
-
16.
> "Berry!"
-
17.
"What? It's just to top me off. "
-
18.
> I popped open a bottle of whiskey and nursed it for a couple seconds.
-
19.
> "See, I'm fine."
-
20.
> Cherry rolled her eyes
-
21.
-
22.
> "Have you ever heard the tale of the guards mare with a bright red nose who guided Celestia's chariot through a thick fog."
-
23.
"Oh yes! That's a classic story."
-
24.
-
25.
> "She was an alcoholic. If you don't stop drinking, your nose will be just as red."
-
26.
> I loved Cherry but she can be a real hard flank sometimes.
-
27.
-
28.
> “Oh, Come on! It’s Hearth’s Warming! Don’t be a buzzkill.”
-
29.
> Cherry returned her attention to steering the balloon
-
30.
> I felt like fool
-
31.
-
32.
> I hate this season because I never know what to get my friends.
-
33.
> I panic all month until I resort to buying them copious amounts of booze.
-
34.
> This was our first Hearth's Warming as a couple and I needed to buy her something that showed my true feelings.
-
35.
-
36.
>Unfortunately, I wasted the entire month drinking because I was so worried that I would get her something she didn't like.
-
37.
-
38.
> Now it's Hearth's Warming night and I didn’t have anything to give her.
-
39.
-
40.
> I returned to my position and continued wrapping presents.
-
41.
> "We're approaching Twilight’s library. Do you have her gift wrapped?"
-
42.
-
43.
> I picked up a box with the picture of a thick red dildo
-
44.
> "Is this hers?"
-
45.
-
46.
> "Who else would I get a giant red dildo for?" She replied like it was the most obvious thing on Equestria.
-
47.
-
48.
> I knew a number of ponies who could use a giant red dildo. Heck I would love a giant red dildo!
-
49.
-
50.
> But that was a secret between myself, the bank and the post office.
-
51.
-
52.
> "Have you seen the way Twilight looks at Big Mac? She acts all prim and proper but she's a total perv. Any observant pony could figure out she's totally wet for that lunkhead."
-
53.
-
54.
> Cherry was great at this. She knew exactly what Everypony wanted. If she didn't she would make a fake address under the pseudonym "Santa"
-
55.
> Ponies around town would write letters telling "Santa" what they wanted and she would buy it.
-
56.
>And on hearth's Warming night she took her hot air balloon above the clouds and dropped whatever they asked for down their chimney.
-
57.
-
58.
> She's so caring and generous.
-
59.
-
60.
> Then there's Me.
-
61.
> A pony so selfish she spent all month loaded out of her mind just because she was worried about what her marefriend would think if she gifted something she didn't like.
-
62.
> I feel like manure.
-
63.
> I need a drink
-
64.
-
65.
> I stuck a bow on the sex toy and threw it over the edge. It landed on the welcome mat of the library.
-
66.
> I hope Twilight is an early riser.
-
67.
-
68.
> Berry was busy reigning in the balloon.
-
69.
> She was wearing her brown leather pilot's hat and goggles that she’s worn forever along with a thick red coat lined with fur.
-
70.
> With her back turned I snuck a big gulp of whiskey and went back to wrapping.
-
71.
-
72.
> I was hitting the high watermark of drunk. Everything was spinning and I was being cradled by the warmth of the liquor.
-
73.
> Feels good, mare.
-
74.
-
75.
> "We're approaching Derpy's house! Do you have her present?"
-
76.
> I shuffled through boxes until I found a box that read "100 Mini Muffins Pan"
-
77.
> It was pretty self explanatory
-
78.
> A muffin pan that cooked 100 mini Muffins
-
79.
> As if her rump wasn't big enough
-
80.
> I doubt I'll be seeing her at the post office anytime soon after she opens this.
-
81.
-
82.
> I haphazardly taped some wrapping paper and tossed it to Cherry who threw it over the edge.
-
83.
>Moved onto the next gift. It was a package of Lactation cookies
-
84.
> I wonder who these were for.
-
85.
-
86.
> I started wrapping the gift when Cherry shouted
-
87.
> "Oh no!"
-
88.
"Yes darling?" I giggled
-
89.
-
90.
> She pointed to the ground below and I saw Derpy's present perched on the edge of the chimney.
-
91.
-
92.
> "Oh…Is that a problem?"
-
93.
-
94.
> "Yes, it's a problem! She can barely see. How is she gonna find her present all the way up there!?"
-
95.
-
96.
> She grabbed a rope and tossed it over the side of the basket
-
97.
> "Go down there and kick it down the chimney."
-
98.
> "You can't be serious."
-
99.
> She gave me that nagging expression that I could only describe as her
-
100.
> "Yes, I'm dead serious." stare
-
101.
-
102.
> "Cherry! That's like a one hundred foot drop!"
-
103.
> "You'll be fine. Just slide down."
-
104.
-
105.
> I went into my pocket and pulled out a pint sized bottle of whisky and downed it.
-
106.
>"Ok. Here I go."
-
107.
-
108.
> I hopped Over the edge and slid down the rope, closing my eyes and holding my breath the entire way down.
-
109.
-
110.
> I landed a little rough but thankfully I made it.
-
111.
> I stumbled my way towards the chimney.
-
112.
And climbed to the top.
-
113.
> I reached the top and dropped the gift down the chimney. Suddenly a gust of wind whipped through town and shoved me down the chimney.
-
114.
-
115.
> I tumbled down the chimney hitting the sides all the way down.
-
116.
>When I hit the bottom I fell into a pile of ash that exploded into a giant puff of dust.
-
117.
> I picked myself up and saw I was covered mane to tail in soot.
-
118.
> “Gross.”
-
119.
-
120.
> My legs trembled as I tried to get my bearings.
-
121.
> The room was dark but illuminated by a glowing blue nightlight in the corner of the room.
-
122.
> I was in Derpy's house.
-
123.
> I could get into so much trouble for this.
-
124.
> Trying my best to be quiet, I crept through the house on the tips of my hooves.
-
125.
-
126.
> I exited the basement and found myself in the kitchen.
-
127.
> I’ve never been to Derpy's house before.
-
128.
>It was a strange place.
-
129.
-
130.
> She had bubble wrap taped around the corners of dinner table and counter.
-
131.
> The kitchen was spotless and she had sticky notes all over the cupboards
-
132.
-
133.
> “Derpy, don't forget to turn off the oven.”
-
134.
> -Derpy
-
135.
-
136.
> “Derpy, remember to measure ingredients.”
-
137.
> -Derpy
-
138.
-
139.
> “Derpy, Make friends today.”
-
140.
> -Derpy
-
141.
-
142.
> I was seeing a very personal side of her I wasn't supposed to and it made me feel like a creep.
-
143.
> I had to get outta here.
-
144.
-
145.
> I snuck through the house
-
146.
> It was so dark I somehow found myself stumbling into her bedroom
-
147.
> I started to slither my way out when I saw a gift wrapped in glistening paper resting at the end of her bed
-
148.
-
149.
> I slid my hooves across the room and read the tag:
-
150.
-
151.
> “To: Cherry Berry”
-
152.
> “From: Derpy”
-
153.
-
154.
> A rush of excitement came over me
-
155.
> This could be my chance
-
156.
> I could give this to Cherry!
-
157.
-
158.
> Derpy was sleeping on her side making all sorts of noises.
-
159.
> I put my hooves on the gift and she started to fidget.
-
160.
> I froze like a snowmare in an ice storm as she began to talk in her sleep.
-
161.
-
162.
> “Mmmm…Yes Mr. Muffin…You do taste good…nom…nom….nommm…”
-
163.
> She yawned and fell back to sleep.
-
164.
> Weird
-
165.
> I swiped the box from under her bed and escaped.
-
166.
-
167.
> Now I just needed to find a way outta here.
-
168.
> Derpy's house was eerily spotless. I always imagined her house would be a disaster but she was actually quite tidy.
-
169.
-
170.
> I found myself in the living room.
-
171.
> She had a Hearth warming tree wrapped in a string of blue lights.
-
172.
> The ornaments were all hoof made
-
173.
-
174.
>I approached the tree and spotted crude drawing of Celestia wearing a wreath around her neck.
-
175.
> It must have been from one of her first Hearth Warmings
-
176.
> I flipped it over and read the date:
-
177.
> "Derpy's 20th Hearth Warming."
-
178.
>...
-
179.
> At Least she was keeping the spirit.
-
180.
> I reached into my pocket and chugged another pint of whiskey.
-
181.
-
182.
> After a couple minutes I found the door.
-
183.
> Finally
-
184.
> I charged full speed ahead but tripped over a loose floor board.
-
185.
> When I hit the ground I was met with a note.
-
186.
> “Derpy, watch out for loose floorboard. -Derpy”
-
187.
-
188.
> Oh for crying out loud
-
189.
> I got back on my hooves and suddenly the lights switched on.
-
190.
> I turned and saw Derpy rubbing her eyes, wearing a pair of blue pyjamas with drawings of envelopes on them.
-
191.
-
192.
> “What the heck is happening here…”
-
193.
> Upon seeing me she froze and I did the same
-
194.
> I felt like just bolting out the door but that wasn't dignified.
-
195.
> I was caught.
-
196.
> Time to own up to my scumbaggery
-
197.
-
198.
> “Is that…?”
-
199.
> “Yes Derpy, it’s me.”
-
200.
-
201.
> “Oh my gosh! It really is you! It's Santa!”
-
202.
> Wait..
-
203.
>WHAT!?
-
204.
-
205.
> “What are you doing here Santa? You're all dusty!"
-
206.
> She approached me timidly and wiped some of the chimney soot from my eyes
-
207.
> “No…No I'm fine.”
-
208.
-
209.
> “You have very pretty eyes Santa.”
-
210.
>...
-
211.
> “Why thank you…You too.”
-
212.
> She started to blush and hid her face bashfully behind her hoof
-
213.
> “Oh, stop it!”
-
214.
-
215.
> Her eye wandered to the gift in my hoof
-
216.
> Santa…What are you doing with my gift to Cherry Berry?”
-
217.
> Oh no
-
218.
> Think you drunken piece of trash! Think!
-
219.
“I’m going to deliver it to her…personally.”
-
220.
-
221.
> My eyes darting back and forth
-
222.
> “Are you sure?”
-
223.
“Yes…I hear you’re the town delivery pony and I thought you could use a break..Us delivery mares have to stick together, right?”
-
224.
-
225.
> She put her hoof to her chin
-
226.
“Hmmm….”
-
227.
> Oh my gosh. I’m a goner.
-
228.
> Her eyes shot open and she smiled
-
229.
> “That's true! Thanks Santa!”
-
230.
> She stared at me with wide, excited eyes bouncing from front hoof to back hoof.
-
231.
>...
-
232.
-
233.
“Well I should probably go.”
-
234.
> “Wait!”
-
235.
> She dashed into the other room and fetched another present
-
236.
> “This gift is for a mare named Berry Punch. Can you give it to her?”
-
237.
-
238.
“Ummm…Sure.”
-
239.
> “I tried to give this to her earlier but when she saw me ran away…She’s a strange mare.”
-
240.
> She's just going through a rough time….She don’t think she intended to be mean…Don't take it personally."
-
241.
> "I understand."
-
242.
-
243.
> She passed me the present which I awkwardly accepted.
-
244.
> I exited the house with the two presents in hoof as she waved from her doorstep
-
245.
> "Bye Santa!"
-
246.
> "Bye Derpy! Happy Hearth Warming!"
-
247.
> I'm an awful pony.
-
248.
-
249.
-
250.
> “Pssst!”
-
251.
> I turned to my left and saw Cherry Berry sitting beside the anchor of her balloon
-
252.
> “You delivered the present right?”
-
253.
-
254.
> “Yeah.”
-
255.
> “What do you have there?”
-
256.
> I looked down at the gifts I had stolen
-
257.
> I couldn’t go through with this
-
258.
> No amount of alcohol could bury the guilt if I did
-
259.
-
260.
“It’s our presents from Derpy."
-
261.
> “You stole them!?”
-
262.
“No. She gave it to me.”
-
263.
-
264.
> The two of us climbed up the rope back into the balloon.
-
265.
> I felt awful for what I had done.
-
266.
-
267.
> Once we reached the top the two of us opened our gifts in the basket
-
268.
> I tore open my present and was baffled
-
269.
> The package read:
-
270.
> “Cloudsdale Exclusive, Wonderbolts brand Flight Helmet and Glasses.”
-
271.
> “I don’t want this.” I whispered to myself
-
272.
-
273.
> My eyes were drawn to a shining gold seal that laid under the shredded wrapping paper.
-
274.
> I opened it and it read:
-
275.
> “Dear, Berry Punch: I know you’ve been having a hard time trying to find a gift for Cherry Berry. It’s hard finding a gift for mysterious mares like her. My gift to you is a gift to her, just in case you forget to buy her a present like you did last year.”
-
276.
-
277.
> I looked up and saw Cherry Berry holding her hoof over her mouth and blushing
-
278.
> “Cherry, I’m sorry. I didn’t get you a gift again this year. I just get so worried that you won’t like it. Here’s my gift from Derpy to you.”
-
279.
-
280.
> She took the package and smiled ear to ear
-
281.
> “Is this Wonderbolt brand flight equipment!?”
-
282.
“Ummm…Sure is.”
-
283.
> “How did you know?” She giggled
-
284.
-
285.
>She tore open the packaging and put on her brand new hat and goggles.
-
286.
> “How do I look?” She asked striking a pose
-
287.
“Absolutely stunning.”
-
288.
-
289.
> Cherry sat close to me and sighed
-
290.
> “I have a confession to make. I didn’t get you anything either. You never told me what you wanted and you never wrote a letter.”
-
291.
> “Oh…Well that's okay.”
-
292.
> “But if I did it would be this!”
-
293.
-
294.
> She pulled out a giant red dildo that landed on the floor with a wet SMACK!
-
295.
> I was beyond confused
-
296.
> Derpy must have been going through my orders at the Post Office…
-
297.
> I was turning red with embarrassment at this point
-
298.
-
299.
"You know me so well."
-
300.
>...
-
301.
> Cherry started to giggle and I followed
-
302.
> Soon we were both on our stomachs howling in laughter.
-
303.
> That doe eyed mare sure is clever.
-
304.
-
305.
> I glanced over at the sex toy and noticed a note tied to the base of the phallus
-
306.
> “To Cherry Berry: No pony is harder to shop for than Berry Punch. But after some snooping I’m sure she’ll love this. Thanks for including me in this year's festivities Santa!”
-
307.
-
308.
> My brain was scrambled.
-
309.
“Wait….So she knew all that time….I…I’m so confused…I need a drink.”
-
310.
-
311.
> "We really are the perfect couple." Cherry said wiping a tear from her eye
-
312.
" Why do you say that?"
-
313.
"Because you like to get smashed and I like to get high.”
-
314.
>The two of us laughed and embraced each other in a hug.
-
315.
“Ok, let's finish our route. Lots of ponies are counting on us.”
-
316.
> I returned to my post and began wrapping the presents
-
317.
> “Aye, Aye captain!”
-
318.
- 319.
