[Oh hey look! It's a video from Hic-

NOPE JUST KIDDING IT'S FEARLESS.]

Ey' folks! Betcha ya thought we was dead again, huh? Not this time! Hic just fell asleep for a month.

Fearless.

Ooor we can be lame and tell the truth!

Naaah, we just needed ta'get away from town for a while. Yaknow, clear our heads and junk. I mean I'm pretty sure dyin' kinda takes a toll on a guy, don'tcha think? We weren't alone or sucked off by some data stream this time, at least. Nah, we had BWG with us!

[From the corner of the feed Kotemon can be seen, cautiously patting Fearless' side.]

So um....he's...um....our friend now, right?

You kiddin'? BWG was always our friend kid!

[Wow ok, looks like someone got over their paralyzing BlackWargreymon fear.]

BWG's my man, I'll tell ya that much! Now see I just gotta get workin' on gettin' ta' Ultimate...

But anyways, so what'd we miss?

[Hiccup can be heard groaning from the other end of the room as he tinkers with his leg with a screwdriver.]

You know, I'm pretty sure they want to talk to me, not you.

Says you!

...Martin's birthday?

[..Oh wow he sure has missed a lot. He chuckles weakly, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Wow, uh....do you guys think you might need some help or...are you all set?

Oh yes...! We could use any help we can get. We have to set up the night before, so we can decorate the Meeting Hall lobby and cafeteria while Martin's asleep.

[Hiccup nods slightly. After everything the brothers had done for him, he wouldn't feel right if he didn't return the favor.]

Just let me know when it'll be and I'll be there.

[He's definitely going to have to make him a present, too.]

We'll be setting up really late the night of the 22nd. The party is the next day.

You'll be at the party too, won't you?

Of course I will. Wouldn't miss it for anything.

[Kotemon carefully climbs into Hiccup's lap while he talks, peeking at Fluttershy.]

Um....a-are Digimon invited too?

[She smiles gently, hoping to put the Digimon at ease.]

Of course...the more the merrier.

[Hiccup pets the top of Kotemon's head.]

Count on us being there, then.

[She smiles, feeling a little excited.]

Okay...! This is going to be so wonderful!

Mhm. I'm probably going to make Martin something...what about you?

I'm hoping too...but between planning the party and making gifts everyone for Christmas and Hearth's Warming, I'm not sure if I can...

[She was still certainly going to try though.]

[Hiccup chuckles softly. There's that Christmas thing again, but Hearth's Warming?]

..I'm guessing none of you celebrate Snoggletog?

[She blinks.] Snoggletog?

Is that a holiday from your world?

Yeah, it's uh.....like this place's Christmas.

And...Hearth's Warming, I'm guessing?

Oh, really? [She seems excited about that.] Can you tell me what it's like?

I mean if you...don't mind...

Oh sure, it's no problem.

Well uh....for one thing, don't ask where the name came from. Nobody to this day even knows why we call it Snoggletog.

And uh...you know, from what I've seen since I got back, it seems pretty similar to Christmas. You know, putting up weird decorations, somehow getting a tree inside to decorate...the ever horrendous "yak nog" is always a fan favorite.

But really it's kinda just a time when all the vikings actually stop grumbling at each other long enough to have a little celebration.

I see...It's really interesting how the different holidays all seem so similar...

Yeah. Is that how uh....Hearth's Warming is too? Sorta?

[She nods.] Yes...even the decorations they have here for Christmas are a lot like the ones we use back home for Hearth's Warming...

Must be a huge coincidence that everything's so similar. That, or everyone just....kindof has the same idea of how a winter celebration should look.

[She giggles.] I guess so...I guess all the colors for the decorations work really well against the white snow.

[Hiccup nods, chuckling as well.]

Speaking of snow, I was wondering when this place would see some. You almost never stop seeing it back home once it starts.

Mm...yes, I was wondering about that too. Usually around this time back home, the weather Pegasi would have brought in the winter clouds for snow...

The weather Pegasi?

[Please elaborate because now he's curious.]

O-Oh...well, back home, weather is usually brought about by Pegasi, like me...e-except I'm not a weather Pegasus...but my friend Rainbow Dash is...she's especially good at what she does...

B-But um, anyway...a Pegasus who's job is to handle the weather does things like move clouds that block the sun, or bring rain clouds for storms...Things like that. In fact, water that's needed to make rain is brought up to the city of Cloudsdale, which is the home of most Pegasi. Snowflakes are made in Cloudsdale, each one crafted individually for uniqueness.

Even rainbows are mixed in Cloudsdale, to spread after a stormy day.

Wow that's...pretty amazing, actually.

[It's interesting to learn about how other worlds function. He's never heard of ponies controlling the weather but hey, whatever works right?]

So how come you're not a weather Pegasus?
