Pinkie Pie: Happy Hearth's Warming Eve!

[thud]

Twilight Sparkle, Rose Light and Spike: [laughing]

Applejack: Shucks, Twilight and Rose! Y'all done it up nice and cozy in here.

Twilight Sparkle: We're about to hang our Hearth's Warming dolls if you wanna join us.

Applejack: Oh, that's mighty sweet of you, but we're just stoppin' in to wish y'all a happy Hearth's Warmin' before we go.

Rose Light: I think it's sweet that your families are spending the holiday together.

Pinkie Pie: Picture the most fun-tacular thing you can think of. Now multiply that times infinity! Whoo! It's gonna be great!

[train whistle blowing]

Applejack: That's us. See you later!

Spike: Now can we open presents?

Applejack: But tonight is Hearth's Warming Eve. Everypony knows you don't open presents 'til tomorrow.

Twilight Sparkle: When Spike and I spent our first Hearth's Warming Eve together and when we spent our first Hearth's Warming Eve with Rose, he couldn't wait all night to open his presents! Ever since then, we've always opened them the night before!

Spike: It's kinda like our tradition!

Applejack: That's not how our family does it, and I reckon it can't be how Pinkie's does it. Is it?

Pinkie Pie: No sirree!

Rose Light: To each their own, I suppose.

[train whistle blowing]

Pinkie Pie: Agh! Gotta go, bye!

Spike: [straining]

[paper tearing]

Spike: Just what I always wanted! A book...

[train engine noises]

Porter Pony: Chancellor Puddinghead puddings! How 'bout a Windigo-frosted snow cone?

Applejack: It's so excitin'! Related or not, it's gonna be a hoot havin' our families together under one roof!

Pinkie Pie: Apples and Pies together again for the first time! Maybe. Unless we're related! Which maybe we're not. I think I just confused myself.

Applejack: Friends or family, this here's about togetherness.

Apple Bloom: [mouth full] Have you tried the Equestria flag crepes? The blue is blueberry! And don't tell Granny I saw, but her trunk is full of presents!

Applejack: Now hang on, sugarcube. You know Hearth's Warmin' isn't just about candy and presents, right?

Apple Bloom: Uh-oh. That's your boring sisterly lecture voice.

Granny Smith: [snoring in background]

Applejack: 'Fraid so! [clears throat] A long time ago, the Earth ponies, Pegasus ponies, and unicorn ponies weren't friends.

Pinkie Pie: [as unicorn pony] I don't like you! [as Pegasus pony] I don't like you either!

Applejack: But then, the icy chill of the Windigos almost iced up everythin'. So the ponies decided to work together, and their friendship drove them nasty critters away.

Pinkie Pie: [as Pegasus pony] Beat it, Windigos!

Applejack: Triumphant, they raised a new flag to celebrate all three tribes, and Equestria was born.
