Fanfiction Street: Apple Bloom Saves Christmas 3

Author's note
Okay, 3 chapters of this story left to go so let's do this.

---------------

Apple Bloom rode in the sleigh as Bambi takes them above high in the sky above the Earth.

"Soon, Bambi carries Apple Bloom right out of the snowy winter."

The filly looks amazed as a white puff of wind blew past her and Bambi. Time appears to be going by fast!

"The young filly looks down, seeing the world greeting greenier by the moment. Soon a puff of warm wind suddenly told Apple Bloom that it was now spring time."

"Wow, 'dis sure is fun." Apple Bloom said with a smile on her face. She can't wait to see Christmas in the spring time!
"All right, we're about to land on Fanfiction Street." Bambi calls out to Apple Bloom as the sleigh is closing in on the future Fanfiction Street and fast.
"Whoa! Slow down!"
"I thought I was slowing down. So where should we land?"
"'De park, 'de park," Apple Bloom exclaims, suggesting a place where Bambi can land safely.
"All right, hold on!" Bambi exclaims as he heads to the park quickly.
"WHEE!!!!!"
The two and the sleigh arrives in the park, crashing to the ground hard. The two groans a bit. That was one rough landing.
"Phew. Some landing, huh Bambi?" Apple Bloom ask Bambi with a sigh.
"Thanks, Bambi." Bambi said as the two, after leaving the sleigh, leaves the park. They dust themselves while looking around to see where, or when, they are. "Hey Bambi! Look, we made it!"
"Wow, no snow! It's really is Christmas in springtime!"
"Or Miami."
"Wow." Apple Bloom said, impressed. She checks out some flowers nearby. "Ah done never saw Christmas wit' a lot o' flowers before. Folks must be very happy. Come on, Bambi. We gotta check 'dis out."
"Okay." Bambi said with a nod. Let's see what Christmas would be like in the springtime.
The two leaves the park, heading off to see the new word with Christmas being every day. In the streets, Snoopy was smiling as folks are showing their new gifts, departing on their way.
"Merry Christmas again, folk! Ha ha!" Snoopy laughs happily. "Today, it makes 124 Christmases I have counted one after another! Yeah, if you think you're having fun now. It's Christmas again...as well as spring time!"
Two small girls throw flower petals around as folks following begin singing.

Crowd: Cherry blossoms in the trees,
It's Christmas again!
Tell ladybugs and bumblebees
It's Christmas again!
The birds of spring go caroling in every glade and glen,
The snow has melted clean away,
There's only grass for Santa's sleigh
And though it's very warm for me...

The two friends show up, watching the crowd gathering together.

It's Christmas again!

"Yeah, come on." Apple Bloom said with a smile as she and Bambi darts off.
The two arrives to a familiar workshop and notices that it was closed. Bambi reads the sign on front, "'Closed for Christmas'. Hmm..."
"Looks like 'de owner is still on holiday. Don't blame him though. He got family o' his own."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Hey, look!" Apple Bloom exclaims as she points to inside the place. There are broken toasters on the table which hasn't been fixed yet. Then again, with the place still closed, who would be around to fix them? The two friends spot Chelsea and Elion showing up. "Oh, there's Chelsea and Elion. Howdy, yew two!"
"Oh hey, Apple Bloom." Elion said to Apple Bloom with a smile.
"Hi Apple Bloom." Chelsea spoke to Apple Bloom with a smile of her own.
"And who's the deer?"
"'Dis is my friend Bambi." Apple Bloom said, introducing her new friend to her old ones.
"I may be a deer but I am still a reindeer at heart." Bambi explains to the two girls with a proud smile on his face.
"Say, how come 'de owner or yew girls ain't fixing 'dem toasters?"
"Come on, isn't it obvious?" Chelsea spoke out, reminding a fact to the filly. "We're all busy celebrating Christmas."
"Right, we're all wrapping presents, unwrapping them...." Elion said, trying to keep smile about what she and nearly everyone else has been busy doing lately.
"Cooking turkeys."
"Eating the turkeys. Why, it's a full time job. Who has time to work anymore?"
The two girls heads off to resume their Christmas extended holiday, making Apple Bloom shudder a bit. Those smiles that the girls gave her sure is creepy.
"Christmas trees, get them right here!" Delete is heard shouting from nearby.
"Ah! There's someone working right now!" Apple Bloom exclaims. She and Bambi turns to see Delete trying to sell a tree...or rather a bad looking one to a customer who watches as the droid kept on shouting.
"Get your Christmas Trees while they last, folks! Christmas trees! Here are your Tannenbaums! We deliver, come get your Christmas trees!"
"Is that the best you got?" The man ask Delete with a frown as he looks at the trees that the droid is trying to give out.
"Well, it's not only the best, but the only tree I have." Delete explains to the customer proudly. "It has been Christmas for 124 days now!"
"Ugh. Don't remind me."
"The forests are being cleaned out but I do have this little beauty left for you, sir."
"Well, that doesn't have any needles!" The man snaps at Delete, glancing at the bad tree. "It's a used Christmas Tree!"
"No, no, not used, sir. Previously owned." Delete corrects the man with a nervous chuckle.
"So what's the difference?"
"It has one ornament that I had, sir and..."
"You know what? If that's all you got, then forget about it!" The man snaps as he prepares to head on off. Why bother with a previously owned tree anyway? Delete yelps as he stops him. The droid can't lose a customer on Christmas day!
"Wait, sir, hang on, what I meant to say is...this is all I have in this size! Nobody bought the big ones, but I do got something bigger over here, but you probably wouldn't be interested." Delete said, preventing to give up. And of course, what he said caught the man's interest.
"Oh, you betcha I would be interested! If that's all there is, I will take it. You deliver, right?"
"Well...if I'm enverious..."
"You do want to sell it, right?"
"Well, I like the cash full." Delete said reluctantly. The droid wonders if he does have another tree since the lot has been lacking them lately.
"Well?" The man ask Delete impatiently, tapping his foot while doing so.
"Okay, 3 bucks."
"I will take it! Follow me home, kid."
"Here and said forth." Delete said. He sighs while dating off, coming back with a bigger tree. As the droid struggles while holding the tree, he calls out, "Coming sir!"
The droid grunts, pulling the giant tree while struggling. This tree is huge! It's enough to make Delete groans, "Oh, Christmas every day. This has gotta stop." The droid regardless kept on pulling while following his customer.
Jake sighs sadly as he is writing a letter to Rachel who he hasn't seen since before the Christmas extension thing started, "'Your best friend, Jake...' Oh man." He turns to Pikachu who is sitting on a shelf and Betty who is watching. "Well, Betty, Pikachu, I am writing another letter to my best friend Rachel who is in Cleveland spending Christmas with her family. So far, she has been there 124 days now and every day, I am writing her the same letter because it's how I feel."
Jake shows the letter which he begins to read, "'Dear Rachel, I miss ya. Your best friend, Jake'."
"That's good, except for one problem: it's Christmas every day and on that day, no one picks up the mail." Betty points out with a sigh. Jake groans as he put his letter on top of other ones that the half Dragon has written. No mailman can pick up letters on Christmas.
"Oh well. I guess I will read those things when she gets back...that is IF she gets back...if she can learn to read. Awww, Betty. I hope it stops being Christmas soon. It's lonely around here."
Jake sighs in sadness while Betty pat him on the back in comfort. Apple Bloom and Bambi watch the saddened scene in concern. Even with the toys in the half Dragon's home, he isn't cheered up at all.
"Wow, I don't think they're have so much fun." Bambi said to Apple Bloom in concern.
"What? But didn't yew see all them toys 'dat Jake has got? He will have fun, right?" Apple Bloom ask Bambi in disbelief. Jake should have more fun with toys! All this does was make the deer worried. "So don't worry."
"Eggs! Eggs for sale!" Someone is heard calling out much to the two's notice. Someone else must be working on Christmas!
"What's that?" Bambi ask curiously.
The two heads over to find someone selling eggs in a basket. It's a brown furred rabbit wearing a long white shirt and a blue/white checkered unbuttoned dress shirt. He was the one shouting, "Christmas eggs! Get them right here! Christmas eggs!"
"Wow." Apple Bloom said as she and Bambi came over to the rabbit.
"Gosh." Bambi said in amazement at this.
"Who are yew?"
"Well, isn't it obviously?" The rabbit ask the two four legged ones with a grin. "I am the Christmas Bunny. E.B. The Christmas Bunny."
"Wait, no you're not." Bambi said with a frown as he suspects something isn't right here. "You're the Easter Bunny."
"Right, shouldn't yew do Easter?" Apple Bloom points out to E.B. puzzled.
"Oh yeah, yeah?! If that's the case, little funny, how come I got all these Christmas eggs?!" E.B. snaps to Apple Bloom in annoyance. He points to the decorated eggs on the tree that glow a bit. Needless to say, that made Apple Bloom giggle a bit as if this is the silliest thing that she had ever heard.
"Awww, those ain't Christmas eggs; Them Easter Eggs. Every bunny would've known 'dat!"
"Yeah, wh..." Bambi begins to ask, wanting to know why E.B. is giving out eggs on Christmas.
"SHHHH!!!" E.B. quickly shushes the two. He looks around to make sure that no one is watching or listening in. Then the bunny spoke quieter to the two, "Okay, you got me."
"What?" Apple Bloom ask E.B. puzzled.
"Yeah, those are Easter Eggs and I'm the Easter Bunny."
"Oh."
"Of course, it's usually my season...and it's still Christmas." E.B. explains to the two kids with a sigh. "I got to move these eggs."
"Oh..." Apple Bloom said nodding in understanding. Even though it's still Christmas, E.B. still got to do his duties as the Bunny, so to speak.
"So how about it, little filly? Want to have a lovely Easter egg as a Christmas present? Makes a very unique gift."
"Really?"
E.B. smiles as he begins to sing.

E.B.: Buy your friends an Easter egg for Christmas.
Easter eggs are useful as can be.
Take your Christmas money to your local bunny
And you can lay an egg under the Christmas tree.

As the song continues, some folks passing by notice him before glancing.

Easter eggs no longer just for Easter
Now that we got Christmas every day.
It's the universal gift, so give a pal a lift
And buy a Christmas Easter egg today.

A customer begins to ask E.B., "But what do you do with them?"
"What can we do with them, huh?" E.B. ask as if getting the most obvious question of the day.
"Yew hide it." Apple Bloom said, coming up with a good hint on using the "Christmas Eggs".
"Right! You can also roll them on the White House lawn."
"Really? What else?" Another customer ask E.B. curiously yet skeptically.
"What else can you do?" E.B. ask, trying to come up with some ideas. The bunny gasps while continuing his song.

You could make a nose with it, you could smell a rose with it.
You could touch your toes with it, you could even pose with it.

As a few snapshots were taken, the song resumes.

You could bake a pie with it, you could make an eye with it.
You could name it Fred

To demonstrate, E.B. shows one egg, saying, "Hi there Fred." The bunny looks back, demonstrating once more while singing.

or smash it on your head.

E.B. with a groan heads over to a prop stage.

Or if you have the time and get that chance,
You can give them tiny skirts and teach them how to dance.

The curtain on the stage opens up, showing live eggs which hops. E.B. calls out, "Right! Deux, trois! Time to can-can!"
"WOO HOO!" The eggs calls out as they dance on to the crowd before laughing. They hop while dancing some more.
The chicken show up as they join in on the singing and dancing.

Chickens: Now don't forget who made them. (Bawk, bawk!)
We're the hens who laid them. (Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk!)

E.B.: So give your friends an Easter egg for Christmas.

Chickens: For Christmas.

E.B.: We only got a few, so don't delay.

Chickens: Don't delay.

E.B.: Here's the chance to grab it, see your local rabbit

E.B. & Chickens: And buy a lovely Easter Egg for Christmas today.

"Ha-cha!" E.B. exclaims as the song comes to a close. The birds tosses a lot of colored eggs while the folks chatted while trying to buy the eggs. As E.B. came near Apple Bloom and Bambi, he smiles while speaking, "All right! How many?"
"Bye Mr. E.B.!" Apple Bloom exclaims, waving goodbye as she and Bambi heads on their way.
"Right, see ya later." Bambi said with a smile to the bunny.
"Bye, kids." E.B. said, waving goodbye while going back to work.
Apple Bloom and Bambi heads back to the park. The filly, grinning, spoke, "Boy howdy! Christmas in springtime sure is fun!"
"Yeah!" Bambi exclaims in agreement though he still has some doubts about what the deer himself has seen so far.
"Everything is going great so far!"
"Uh huh."
"Christmas every day is wonderful!" Apple Bloom exclaims eagerly. The message is still not getting through to her just yet though.
"Sure is!" Bambi exclaims, nodding in agreement with his friend.
"Okay, some friends are gone, no place is opened, trees are becoming extinct...maybe there are some flaws but still, a wonderful holiday. Say, Bambi?"
"Yeah?"
"Ah wanna see Christmas in 'de summer time!" Apple Bloom exclaims to Bambi eagerly. Christmas in the spring is great, now let's see how it is during the summer!
"Okay, Apple Bloom!" Bambi exclaims with a smile. May as well since summer is the two's next stop anyway. "Let's go!"
"YAHOO!"
The two left, heading back to the sleigh to resume their trip across time.

As the two friends are seen flying over the world, Katara is heard narrating the story once more.

"Soon the sled flew from spring when it was just warm to summer, where it really gets hot."

The duo fly around a bit until the atmosphere begins warming up, much to Apple Blom's notice.
"Whoa, where are we going, Bambi?" Apple Bloom ask Bambi curiously.
"The 4th of July, of course." Bambi explains to Apple Bloom much to her excitement.
"Christmas in 'de 4th o' July?! Heehaw! 'Dat's done better than any Christmas in July! YAY!"
"Right, but is there any difference?"
Apple Bloom laughs happily as the two friends flew onward.

Now back at the workshop, the elves are exhausted as they are working on toys nonstop. They are showing a toy to Santa who glances at a cow with bunny ears and a tail.
"Stupid question: what is this supposed to be?" Santa ask the elves with a frown.
"Well, it was supposed to be a cow." Abby explains to Santa in exhaustion.
"Right, a cow!" Another elf said with a nod.
"Yeah, I may not be an expert on animals but even I know that cows don't have rabbit ears." Santa points out the obvious to his elves. "They have horns."
"Right, and cow tails."
"Come on, give us a break! What do you want from us?" Bernard ask Santa with a frown. "We have worked for months with no break!"
"We are tired, we make mistakes." Curtis admits to Santa with a sigh. With no breaks thanks to Christmas being every day, the elves are getting careless.
"Well, put the horns on the cows, okay?" Santa insists to the elves to start this cow all over.
"Not a chance, I quit!" Bernard exclaims in anger. He isn't working on any more toys!
"There isn't any time, Santa!" The second elf exclaims in concern. "The folks need toys more than we can make and faster too!"
"Right, right. Fine. We will call it something else." Santa said with a shrug. May as well call this "cow" something else since it doesn't resemble a cow much.
"How about Moo Bunny?" Abby suggests thoughtfully to her boss.
"Right, Moo Bunny." The second elf said, nodding in agreement. A Moo Bunny does sound original and funny!
"That will work." Santa said with a nod of satisfaction. "Now get these Moo Bunnies ready at once!"
The elves laughs a bit, they knew Santa would love these! Curtis spoke hopefully, "Say, how about a break, Santa?"
"Fine. 5 minutes."
The elves sighs, lying down a bit. They need a break after all the toys that they were making
Another elf came in with a bunny with horns, cow ears and a cow tail. He shows it to Santa, asking, "Sir, what do you make of this?"
Santa looks at the toy carefully, then spoke, "A cabbit."
"No, sir, there was already a cabbit which is a cat/rabbit hybrid!"
"Ugh! Fine, a cowbbit, then!"

Back in Fanfiction Street during the summer, folks are fixing what is supposed to be a tree which is made out of twigs and mini-flags. Snoopy was counting as usually.
Snoopy spoke eagerly, "193! Ha ha ha...Happy 4th of July! So far, I have counted 193 straight Christmases on Fanfiction Street." The dog shakes his while leaving. This is tiring, even for him!
At the usual park, the sleigh is about to crash land. Apple Bloom calls out in alarm, "Slow down, slow down!"
"Hang on, Apple Bloom!" Bambi exclaims in alarm. This crash is going to be a hard one!
"WHOA!" The duo exclaims as the sleigh crashes to the ground. After a while, the two dust themselves off and leaves the sleigh to leave the park once more.
"Well, the landing wasn't bad this time."
"Not so good either." Apple Bloom remarks to Bambi with a shrug.
"Hey, look!" Bambi exclaims. Apple Bloom saw that her friend is pointing to what appears to be a summery Christmas with flags being shown.
"Wow! It's truly Christmas in 'de Summertime!"
"You betcha."
In the street, a marching band was performing, though they are getting tired. As the kids blew their kazoos, the crowd is singing, though wearily.

Crowd: Happy Independence Day
It's Christmas again!
Let the marching music play
It's Christmas again!

A few of the folks shook their head. They are getting tired of Christmas. As Apple Bloom and Bambi shows up, the crowd continues their tired singing.

So ring the bells and sing Noels
To tell the minute men
The stars and stripes are waving high
The fireworks are in the sky
And on this 4th day of July

The two drops near the broken utensils at the shop that is still closed, watching the band finishing its tiring song.

It's Christmas again

The two friends hums a bit, still unaware of the seriousness of this situation.
"Darn, Ah like Christmas on 'de 4th o' July." Apple Bloom said with a giggle. "Christmas every day sure is fun!"
"But look at the toasters!" Bambi exclaims in alarm. Apple Bloom peeks into the store and saw many more broken toasters than the ones in spring! She looks shocked. Shouldn't someone fix these by now?
"Wow...something tells me 'dat 'em workers still ain't working."
"I know. This is getting concerning."
Apple Bloom and Bambi saw Chelsea and Elion heading over. The latter appears to be looking bored as if they didn't have anything else better to do this year.
"Howdy, y'all!" Apple Bloom exclaims, waving to her two friends. "Yew folks still celebrating Christmas, huh?"
"Yeah, same old, same old." Elion admits to Apple Bloom, sighing.
"We have been eating much but turkey and watching "It's A Wonderful Life" for 6 months now!" Chelsea explains with an upset look on her face. "We haven't been working in the shop because it's still Christmas!" Elion looks into the store, groaning.
"Right, the work is piling up."
Another broken toaster fell off the table. Apple Bloom, seeing what her friends mean, nods as she spoke, "Eeyup, because it's always Christmas."
"Humbug!" Elion groans, getting a bit cranky.
"To be honest, I remember before it wasn't always Christmas." Chelsea explains with a sad sigh, shaking her head. "Why, I would open the place up in the morning and we would say hi with folks going by..."
"Right, then those folks would bring us stuff to fix and we would fix it. We worked!"
"But...but girls, Christmas is fun!" Apple Bloom exclaims in shock and worry. Sounds to her that Chelsea and Elion are getting sick and tired of it being Christmas!
"Well, newsflash, pony: I'M SICK OF HAVING FUN!" Elion snaps furiously as she drops the presents that the girl was hoping. "I want to fix toasters and darn it, I'm going to fix one right now!"
Elion grabs a machine, preparing to work on it. Chelsea however points out to her awkwardly, "Err, that's a waffle iron."
"I know that, I know that!"
Elion furiously slams the waffle iron onto the pile of junk. Apple Bloom gulps a bit, looking scared. She hasn't seen Elion like this before!
"Err, Bambi? Ah done starting 'ta think 'dat Christmas every day ain't making folks happy as Ah I thought it to be." Apple Bloom said to Bambi in worry. In fact, Christmas is making folks cranky.
"You said it, I didn't." Bambi said in agreement.
The two friends yelps as Elion snatches a toaster, causing more like it to fell to the floor. Now the girl is really close to losing it.
"This is a toaster!" Elion snaps angrily as the toasters hit the ground, much to her worry. "Ugh! At this rate, we will never catch up!"
Elion groans, frowning a bit. What person would make Christmas every day in the first place?!

Author's note
Hoo boy. Looks like Christmas is not the same holiday that folks like anymore. In the next chapter, Apple Bloom and Bambi saw the consequences of Christmas every day, especially during next winter when Santa retires! The filly must fix it somehow, but how? Read, review and suggest!
