I can pull your sleigh
🕑 Added 2018-12-27 17:21:46 +0000 UTCI meant to have this posted before Christmas, but I figured this is close enough.
Discord stared at the mountain of dirty plates, pans, and bowls. He smiled and closed his eyes.
It might have taken me 12 tries but success is mine! And the pink one said I couldn't do it! Ha! that'll show her!
The draconequus looked over at his accomplishment on the counter. Okay, it wasn't the most perfect Yule Log, but he'd made it without using any of his magic. That had been part of Pinkie's challenge, and she'd made him make a Pinkie Promise. So he'd considered it unwise to break it. No matter how tempted he'd been to.
Snapping his fingers he made the apron vanish; then with another snap the dirty dishes vanished as well.
She only said I couldn't use magic to make it. She didn't say I couldn't use it to wash the dishes!
As part of the dare Discord had been forbidden from asking Fluttershy for assistance. Therefore he'd reluctantly banished the mare from her own kitchen. The pegasus mare had smiled and said she had some holiday preparations to take care of anyways. While baking he'd heard the occasional sound of sleigh bells from upstairs, but he'd been so focused he hadn't given it much thought. But now it was time to show Fluttershy the fruits of his labor. Raising his voice he called for her.
"Fluttershy darling! Could please come down to the living room? I've got something to show you!"
From upstairs the mare's voice came floating down. "Okay. I'll be down."
Discord nodded his head and started assembling dishes and forks for dining. As he did he heard the sleighs bells coming down the stairs. With head held high and his Yule Log on a silver platter he strolled into the room and promptly stopped in his tracks.
Flutters was kneeling on carpet of the living room in this very, um, different outfit. What little there was of it. She was wearing this harness and top of red leather festooned with bells. Obviously the source of the sounds earlier. Matching bracelets and anklets were also encrusted with bells. Finishing off her ensemble was a bridle with fake horns on it.
For several seconds the Lord of Chaos just stared at her. Finally he spoke. "Um Fluttershy. What's that you have on?"
The mare smiled at him. "Oh, um, this is a holiday costume I've been working on." She bobbed her head causing several bells to chime. "I'm a reindeer!"
"A reindeer?" The draconequus repeated the mare's last comment.
"Yep!" More bells chimed. "And, uh I'm ready now to help you!"
"Help me with what?"
"Well. Um, reindeer are hard workers. Even in the winter! I could pull your sleigh for you!"
Discord just stared at Fluttershy for a moment. Then his Yule Log burst into flames.

Considering it's obviously an edible and not -- you know -- a FIREPLACE "yule log"...

Something something "Jingle Bell Rock...ing the headboard"

After looking at the lovely image, I scrolled down and read the last couple of lines of the story. For a few moments I thought that "Yule log" was a euphemism. *evil grin* After reading the whole story, I'm still not sure that it isn't. *grin*

The Yule Log randomly bursting into flames just SELLS it! XD
