If things usually got you down there was certainly someone, or rather somepony, you could always rely on. Getting back from a long day out or waking up, she was there to greet you no matter what. You couldn’t help but smile every time they were around and wanted to hang out or just simply relax with you.
Fizzy Pop was quite the pony. She had plenty of common interests with you and even seemed to be more than happy to enjoy what you felt up for. Movies? Pop in an action flick and enjoy. Games? She’d be there for certain! Snacks and drinks were a constant and very enjoyable with your little pony.
Of course, tonight was a night for movies and maybe a game or two after if it wasn’t too late. Walking in the front door and you were already greeted with the hot pink unicorn. Fizzy bounced happily as she saw you and began describing the various ideas that had been running through her head while you went to stock up for the night.
“I was also thinking if we watched three movies we could make time for two games,” she rambled on, clearly excited to spend time with you. “It’s just a hard decide between so many.”
Without a word, you kneel down with the paper bag you’re hugging and pull out a few films you had managed to pick up while grocery shopping. The cases splayed out onto the coffee table as you continued into the kitchen to put away the sodas to chill and get the chips ready.
“Die Hard trilogy?!” Fizzy exclaimed, obviously surprised and elated in the choice of films. “This is perfect for Christmas!”
You snicker quietly and agree as you hurry to finish putting away the food items before grabbing a bowl and the bag of chips. The crinkling of the bag must have been heard in the other room for the energetic unicorn was quick to gallop into the kitchen. Her hooves had far less friction on the floor compared to the soles of your shoes and she was sent sliding right into the side of your leg but latched on with her eyes staring up at you.
“What flavor are those chips?” she asked, an ear flicking playfully as she tugged at your leg lightly.
The sight was too cute to not answer, but you tease and name one of the flavors she isn’t interested in. Once she gives a light frown you ruffle her mane and tell her it’s the kind she likes, the mare lights up and nuzzles her cheek to your leg while thanking you repeatedly. She still hadn’t even seen what else you got for the night. It was getting close to Christmas, or Hearth’s Warming for her, and you wanted to treat her.
“When will we start?” the pony asked, standing on her hind legs and trying to peer onto the counter with the chip bowl.
A look at the time indicated you could easily start any point and have plenty of time left over for anything else. Noticing her foreleg reach out and lightly bat at the bowl of chips made you softly pat her hoof and offer a chip right there. Hand feeding the mare was something that was always cute and fun, even if she could magically move items for herself. The fact she didn’t refuse the offer hinted that she trusted you deeply.
“Mm, soon?” she asked, her muzzle still munching away at the flavored snack.
You nod and take the bowl into the living room before setting it next to the movies. The light clopping of hooves following behind you was always reassuring. Almost like hearing the light clicks of a dog’s claws on a hard floor.
The drinks would take a moment to chill but in the meantime you could enjoy a good deal of the first movie. It was hardly an effort to get things rolling when you reached for the first case only to see it slip away without anything touching it. The case unwrapped and opened before the disc levitated out and was put into the tray.
“This is going to be so fun!” Fizzy stated as she hopped lightly in place as the disc tray accepted the media and slowly began to read it.
A small pat to the couch and the unicorn turned around before rushing over and climbing up. A little help by hoisting her flanks up and she crawled onto the cushions then snuggled in close to you. Her magic moved the bowl of chips up and hovered it casually before you both as the menu appeared on screen and prompted the various options.
Soon enough, you were both relaxed in the couch and watching the movie start up. Explosions, gunfire, and memorable quotes were riddled through the whole thing. Several times the silence was broken in the room to have either of you quote the movie, at least when chips weren’t being crunched on. It was a great start to the evening and there would be plenty more to come.
Fizzy’s head leaned to you as she relaxed and enjoyed the movie with you. The unicorn was far from tired with her eyes wide and her tail giving small swishes against the seat when the action picked up again. Giving her a soft pet along her back and rubbing an ear had her shiver before leaning into the affection while she kept up with the moving picture.
“Oh, the glass!” she calls out and winces.
Your own reaction was noticeable as you curled your toes at the scene. The mare saw and looked up before giving a light pat to your leg. Both of you knew it was just a movie but having her give a cute reassurance was sweet.
“I’ll make sure you don’t step on anything like that!” she says with a nod.
The remark made you smile as you thanked her and gave her a few more pets. It was nearing the end of the first flick when you figured it might be time to break out the drinks. With how comfy it was in the spot on the sofa it almost felt like a chore getting up.
“Where you going?” Fizzy asked, her ears perked up as she looked between you and television.
When you remark with getting a drink she nearly stands too until you tell her you want to give her a surprise. The mare’s eyes gleam as she waits and you head into the kitchen. A check on the cans in the fridge seemed like they were cold enough. You were thankful you put them against a few other cold items to help.
The two cans of vanilla Coca Cola were almost ice in your grip but that might have been due to the cold weather amplifying things. Once you entered the room again it seemed the unicorn noticed the soda right away and nearly squealed.
“OH! You got them!” she called out, waiting eagerly until you offered one to her.
Her magic took the can and cracked the top as she sipped at it and licked her lips. She sure did love the drink a ton. You opened your own and sat back down as the two of you quelled your thirst and resumed the movie.
The rest of the film was over quick and it seemed that Fizzy Pop was ready to instantly start the next one. Whether it was the caffeine or sugar in the drink or maybe just the special night, she seemed to be rather excited over it all. The pony hurried to remove the disc and put the next one in where you took the opportunity to refill the bowl of chips.
No words needed to be exchanged as the both of you got ready and settled in once more. Action and winter seemed to be a fun combination for movies and highly entertaining for you and your pony. The quotes were rattled off here and there as you enjoyed every second of the attraction with the unicorn nestled in nearby. Her own remarks were just as great and you couldn’t help but ruffle her mane a bit with how adorable it all was.
As the second movie began to wrap up, you took the chance to play out a scene or two with the pony. Her tail wiggled with her hind end as she got up to help out and accompany the sound effects both of you needed for each part. The entire living room was an action scene with hurdling over the coffee table, using your finger guns, and saying lines. Every so often her horn would light up to fire off some special beams that luckily did no damage to anything.
“Tracer rounds,” she commented before adding in her sound effects and rolling while firing off the light beams at you.
Just as any proper bad guy, you took the hits and made various groans as she got up and watched. It wasn’t until you collapsed onto the floor and stayed a bit that you felt one of those small hooves nudge your shoulder. You stayed quiet a bit longer as she nudged more.
“Hey, hurry up! We’re gonna miss the end!” Fizzy said as she magically pulled you up onto the sofa once more.
The rest of the night was much of the same with quotes spoken, laughs shared, and the snacks and drinks consumed heartily. A few times ended up with you having to lightly wipe her muzzle of the flavored dust from the chips. A cute thanks was given before she would sit up and lightly nose your cheek in a friendly kiss.
Minutes and hours ticked by like they were nothing but it all felt like the night could easily go on forever. Your adorable mare was highly entertained by the movies and all the fun you kept bringing during them. Things just felt so relaxing with her around.
It wasn’t until the last movie was nearly finished that you could feel your eyes growing heavy. As much as you wanted rest soon you also didn’t want to take Fizzy Pop’s fun out early. The move to rub your eyes must have got her attention as she watched and tilted her head in thought. You gave her ear a small rub as she lightly pawed at your hand to stop for the moment.
“I know you’re tired. Don’t worry! We don’t have to do it all in one night. We can play some games in the morning, or even tomorrow night!” she suggested and scooted closer.
You could feel the warm coat of her body against you, the softness so soothing and relaxing along your hand. A light shift and you lean back before rubbing along her back and neck gently. There was a bit of slight confusion as you felt your feet light up until you saw her using her magic to slip your shoes off and rest them back down. The pony’s body nestled in closer as she curled up against your side while she smiled and watched the end of the movie in comfortable silence with you.
It was over before you knew it but you hardly wanted to move. The whole sofa and having your great pony nearby was too much. The coziness was winning you over faster than you could make decisions. There was barely a second thought before the television turned off and the remote slid across the coffee table as if on strings.
“Let’s just chill here,” the unicorn commented lightly and nuzzled against your side. Her head drooped for a moment and you could tell the sugar crash was coming for the miniature horse.
Thankfully, you had set a blanket on the back of the sofa as decoration. It came in use at just the right time. You carefully grab the fabric and lean back fully as you drape the blanket over you both and try to keep her comfy. Fizzy’s head shuffles under it until she moves around just enough to poke out up near your own face. The warm smile was a cute greeting as she booped her snootle to your own and settled right up near your chest.
“Thank you,” she whispered softly as she snuggled in and let you hold her to you.
You return the gesture and smile as you wish her merry Christmas before thinking on it and adding a happy Hearth’s Warming. She might understand the latter more.
“Happy Hearth’s Warming,” she repeats and closes her eyes. “Merry Christmas.”
With that, the both of you drifted off into the land of dreams where even more fun could be had as your bodies rested. It would be a wonderful sleep to leave you both refreshed and to continue on having fun for the holiday ahead. Nothing would keep you from having a great time together. It would be the best winter ever~
Dear 322,
Thank you for being a great friend and someone I’m so very happy I met. Your cute drawings and adorable OC have been a lovely welcome every time they appear. Your humor is great and always makes me smile. I want you to know that you’re a treasure in the world and everything you create is just awesome! I hope that this little story is good for you. I know your secret Santa list said to draw her but I thought having a fun little interaction in a story with her would be well too. After all, I can’t quite draw well at all, but I did give it a shot earlier with your cute pony.
I hope you take care of yourself and that everything you do goes the way you wish. Be safe, be kind, and keep being amazing~ You’re a stupendous person and it shows. I wish you the best. Happy holidays, 322~ Merry Christmas and happy Hearth’s Warming!
Love,
Lore Love
