[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.]

[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.

[She smiles with a nod.] I just hope you'll like it.

Mm...well, I...I'm not really sure...I haven't thought about it.

All right...I'll do what I can.

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

Just tell me if someone tries to get greedy. Got it?

[No one is allowed to abuse Fluttershy's kindness the end.]

O-Oh...all right.

What about you, Arcee? Is there...anything I can make for you?

[How can you say no to this face?]

If it's made with your love, I know I will love it. Oh! But I have to make something for you too!

O-Oh...um...well, I...I do have some trouble getting sweaters that fit my wings...

Would you mind if I measured your wings?

[She shook her head.] No, I wouldn't mind. O-One of them is still broken though, but they're both about the same size...

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

What are these days? Why do you celebrate them?

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.

Well if you think of anything, tell me and I'll try to get it. But even if you don't, I'll be sure to get something for you, and for Rarity and Rainbow Dash too.

[Oh he likes that last part. Mikey probably deserved something for all the trouble he's been through.]

Those we care about...like Michelangelo?

'Christmas?' Never heard of it.

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

Mm, okay. I'll let you know if I think of anything.

Oh yes, just like Mikey. Holidays are meant to be spent with friends and family and loved ones...

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

[At that he smiles.]

Before this I could not say I had family...but now, I know I have one.

But I do not know what to get Michelangelo.

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. ]

[She smiles gently.] That's wonderful...You do have so many people who care about you.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy. As long as it's from your heart, it will mean something important.

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?

It wouldn't hurt for you to recruit help if it comes down to it.

As for myself, I'm fine. [ Just fallen back into her role of being the resident recluse. ] You don't have to do anything for me--it'd be strange, right?

[She nods.] If it gets too much, I'll ask for some help.

That's good. I'm glad you're doing well.

Would it be strange? I would like to give you a gift, but...I wouldn't want to cause any trouble...
