When Rainbow Dash goes out to practice a new technique, she comes across an unexpected pony.

During a tour of a jungle at DaringCon, Quibble Pants and Rainbow Dash recognize some old, strange but funny memories.

Quibbledash!
Finally.

Hearth's Warming is just around the corner, which for Quibble Pants presents a bit of a dilemma. It's his first Hearth's Warming with his new family and he's desperate to find a good present for Wind Sprint.

Once again he decides to call on the help of his friend Rainbow Dash, this time paying her a visit in Ponyville in the hopes she'll be able to help him out. And lucky for him, his friend has some time to spare.

Can Rainbow Dash point Quibble in the right direction again? Or this a dilemma that Quibble will have to figure out on his own?

It's Hearts and Hooves day, and Rainbow Dash wants to spend it with Time Turner.

After inviting him over to her place for dinner, things should be alright, right?

...Right?

continuing the story set down by Resurrection Beat and It's Not Unusual

Rainbow Dash gets a fortune cookie that says she will a get what's coming to her. She doesn't believe it but as the day goes on, the worse things get.

The nights are getting longer and there's a chill in the air, you know what that means! Hearths Warming is here!

Twilight and her friends get together for a little Hearths Warming Eve party but unfortunately, four Changelings, who refused to reform after Queen Chrysalis' defeat, are here to exact their revenge. Luckily, Rainbow Dash is still free, and she needs help to save her friends and the Princesses, who else does she know that has extremely powerful magic...?

...

Oh no.

This story takes place after the season 6 finale.

Written for Hey its that Pony for Jinglemas 2023 with the following prompt:

For my jinglemas gift this year, I would like a story about a pair of characters who have to "save" Hearth's Warming.
Characters: I'm not picky about who you choose for this mission, so long as at least one of them is a "villain", former or otherwise.
I find it amusing when an "evil" character needs to be "good".
My definitions of evil and good are very flexible for this. So as long as the first character could be considered an antagonist at one point in time or another, they will fit the bill. Also, their manner of "saving" Hearth's Warming can also be considered to be flexible.
Feel free to toss a third character into the lineup or more if you're feeling it. The choices are whoever you feel will work.
Theme: Comedy preferred, but otherwise you can go nuts with the theme.
Setting can be Equestria Girls or G4:FiM. No Gen 5, I'm just not invested in those characters.

Magic is bleeding out of Equestria and into another realm, a realm where magic does not exist. Twilight must stop the flow of magic before disaster strikes. Can the natives of this realm be of help? How do sapient beings function without magic anyway? What's this about a cartoon?

Takes place shortly after season four.

What if.... instead if the cookie zombies prank wasn't a prank set up by Pinkie Pie and friends to get back at Rainbow Dash but instead the Ponyville inhabitants actually became cookie zombies and terrorized the town?

Twilight's just received her official government escort license, which allows her to legally take on passengers during a teleport. Unfortunately, the fee was hideously expensive -- enough to completely wipe out all her spare bits. And there's a major purchase coming up which she refuses to put off. So what better way to raise the money than by giving her freshly-approved skill a workout? After all, it's winter, it's cold, ponies will get home all the faster, and since Twilight knows what 'escort' means, so will everypony else.

It's probably best not to bet on that last part.
