[There's static on the screen for a moment before it clears, and Fluttershy waves a bit shyly into the camera.]

H...H-Hello everyone, um...I...hope you're all doing well.

S-So I...I've learned a little about...Christmas, which is...coming up, right? A-And it's actually very similar to a holiday we celebrate in Equestria...wh-where I'm from. S-So I...I-I was thinking that I'd...like to give gifts to people. I-I mean if...if that's all right...

I have...some ideas for what to give people, b-but, um...i-if you wouldn't mind, could you...maybe let me know what you'd like as a gift? I...can't really promise much, but I'm...pretty good at knitting...I think...

S-So if...everyone could let me know what you'd like...I'll do my best to make it. E-Even...if you don't celebrate Christmas...or Hearth's Warming Eve like I do...I'd still like to give you something...if that's okay...

[She hesitates for a moment before turning the D-Terminal off.]

[happiestberry]

I'd like a big hug with sparkles!

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggled softly.] I-I'm not sure about sparkles...but I can certainly give hugs,

Is that all though? I'd really like to make you something...

[fuhrinkaed]

...I guess Ryudamon needs a scarf now, huh.

What goes well with green..?

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Let's see...Blue goes rather well with green...Silver does too, I think.

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Hmmm

[Mikey's thinking, hard by the look of it...

But suddenly he perks up.]

I know! I want to share a pizza with you!

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh yes...! That would certainly be wonderful...!

But is there anything I could make for you too?

[most_awkward_human]

...Fluttershy, what's Christmas?

[Well she of course new about Hearth's Warming Eve, but Christmas was a new one for her.]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh, it's a holiday that some humans celebrate! It's actually a lot like Hearth's Warming Eve...

[arrogantalloy]

[Dorumon's been watching the feed from Tony's D-Terminal. And the sound of getting presents sounds awesome. Replying without Tony paying attention to her.]

Can I have chocolate?

[strengthinkindness]

Well, I...can't make chocolate, but I could certainly get that for you. Is there anything you'd like me to make though?

[brain_behind_purple]

[Donnie didn't feel like he should as for anything, eh dind;t deserve it. But Arte was insisting that he ask, so...]

You don't have to, but... could you maybe make me a new ninja mask? I... don;t want to use my old one anymore...

[strengthinkindness]

[Her smile softens a little.] It's all right, Donnie. I've never made something like that before, but I'll do my best.

[robotfightclub]

[Holidays. Arcee was never big on holidays. The majority of them always seemed so pointless.

...But it looks like Fluttershy really wants to do something for people. She even made a video all by herself. How often does that happen?]

Are you sure about this? People tend to lose it when the idea of free stuff's thrown their way.

[Video]

[strengthinkindness]

W-Well...if I'm able to...I'd like to...do what I can.

[bigsoftie]

[This is news to him. He's actually curious.]

What are these days? Why do you celebrate them?

Video

[strengthinkindness]

They're holidays...! They're days that are remembered because something happened on them years and years ago, and we remember them because those events were important to our history.

And they're usually celebrated with people we care about, by showing them how much we care about them.

[adashofloyalty]

'Christmas?' Never heard of it.

(She's definitely curious about it, to say the least. The idea of presents is awesome!)

[strengthinkindness]

It's a human holiday. It's a lot like Hearth's Warming Eve, even though the reasons they're celebrated are different.

[codes]

At this rate, you're going to have to make something for every single person here.

[ She's just a bit worried about her being overworked. ]

[strengthinkindness]

W-Well, I can...knit pretty fast. So I'll do my best. And some people haven't asked me to make them something...they've asked for different kinds of gifts.

But what about you? I feel as though it's been so long since we last spoke. Are you doing all right? Is there something you'd like me to make for you?

[Video]

[alive_through_luck]

[Curiosity more than anything has Duo on the D-Terminal. He blinks at Fluttershy, pausing briefly before asking...]

You know about Christmas?

[Video]

[strengthinkindness]

[Hello someone new.]

W-Well I...I-I know a little about it. I-I'm...s-still learning...

voice;

[fuckinstoplights]

Christmas...?

I've never heard of it. Or the other day.

voice;

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...well Hearth's Warming Eve is a holiday that's only celebrated back in the world I'm from. But Christmas seems to be a little more common.

The holidays are about spending time with people you care about, and showing them that you care.

[video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

You're celebratin' what now?

[Holidays were...not really something that were common among Cybertronians, and this one's still a newbie to the way Earth works.]

Eh, don't worry about me, Sunshine. Ya probably got a queue of half the city.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Christmas...! It's a human holiday, that involves family, and friends, and giving presents to those you care about.

Oh, but...I would still like to give you something...

[Video]

[destinedforrock]

Ah - "Christmas"? Fluttershy?

[Not a familiar word to her but she quashes the inquiring look a moment and throws her head up a little with a grin.]

...Arrived just in time for the winter holidays, have we? Do fill me in, Fluttershy! If this is a gift-giving occasion upon us I would be happy to assist you in putting something together.

If of course, my. ...Skillset would be appropriate.

[Video]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh yes...! Christmas is a holiday some humans celebrate. But I was looking at pictures, and some of the decorations are a lot like those for Hearth's Warming Eve back home...!

Well, I was planning on knitting some things for people...but with your help, I'm sure they would look a lot better.

Of course, I still have to make something for you too.

[acceptedburden]

It is quickly approaching, yes. December 25. You have a holiday that is around the same time where you are from, Fluttershy?

It is very kind of you to offer to get gifts for people. Are you sure that it will not be too much though?

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] Yes...! It's called Hearth's Warming Eve. It's very similar to Christmas, actually...

Well I would like to do my best. And since it's my first Christmas, I would like to give something to all the friends I've made here...

Is there anything you'd like, Kaldur?

[badluckbabe]

Hmm~ Aren't you just the sweetest girl around?

I'd love something knitted from you dear. Whatever you're good at knitting. My favorite colors are pink, black, and dark purple.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushes a little.] I-I...wouldn't really put it like that...

O-Oh, I've knitted lots of things... [She thinks for a moment.]

D-Do you...Do you still do art projects, Jinx?

[perrytheperson]

[Perry holds up his white board with the following message.]

Whatever you give will be happily received.

Any ideas about what you want?

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles.] O-Okay. I'll do my best...

I-I...I'm not really sure. I've tried thinking of what I might like, but I haven't really come up with anything.

I-I guess anything would be all right...
