(Okay, here we are!! Now remember, PLEASE take it slow, and have fun with it!! I'm so excited to start this ;D
Me- Specs, Roach, Sabini, Skye Sapphire- Olive, Lucky, Luna Lovegood Mo- Lars, Francesco Bernoulli, Applejack, Jay Phantom- Hiccup, 624, Toothless, Arthur, Rainbow Dash Two-Tone- Two-Tone Solaurea- Bob, Taylor, Princess Luna, Discord Angel- Twilight Sparkle, Rose Weasly, 625 Patchy- Rex, Wilbur Robinson, Eilonwy, Jenny Kitexa- Pinkamina, Sally Acorn Vulpy, SATAM Tails, Medley, Neon Flash Mizan- Shenzi, Banzai, Ed *** A light snow was beginning to drift down, painting the grounds outside of the elaborate hall a clean white color. It was Christmas Eve, about 5:00 at night. Dinner was in the process of being cooked, a DJ of sorts was playing light, festive holiday tunes, and decorations were being hung up. In the back was a large Christmas tree- much bigger than a normal tree, yet still bare. Decorating that would come later, sometime after dinner.
A young girl, about the age of 20 known as Specs, was busying herself, hanging up a wreath on the wall. She pushed her thick black glasses up the bridge of her nose, trying to hang it precisely. Next to her was Roach, a small magenta-and-purple bug, flitting around and stringing some tinsel up on the walls.
Below them on the carpeted floor were a lioness not fully-grown named Sabini and a multi-colored fox cub, about the age of 6 months named Skye. They were staring out the window, watching the snow fall and waiting for other guests to arrive. Then the party would really start.

A two-toned dalmatian puppy entered, her tail wagging as she had a red and green scarf on which covered her blue collar, she wore a winter themed hat as she walked in the snow. "This looks like the place, wonder if Lucky is here already?" Two-Tone walked toward the door to go inside.

A young teenage girl made of metal hovered in the room. She had heard about the holiday from her mom and many of her friends but she had never actually celebrated it. Jenny looked around wondering how she could help get into the spirit.
--- "Alright, now its a party!" Rex came in after Jenny with a smile. It was about time Providence gave him a break. Even E.V.Os had to take a break on Christmas right? Sure they did.

Two-Tone entered the room and looked around "Wow! It's just like the barn back home! Well if we had a tree in it, then again the farm house has a nice tree too." The dalmatian pup took off her scarf and hat and went over to see the tree closer, it was huge! Definately bigger than the one Roger and Anita had in the farmhouse (mostly due to Cruella cutting Anita's paycheck severely, and the fact they had to return that tub of treats too.) "Lucky's gonna flip when he sees this tree" Two-Tone said as she looked at the others coming in, a metal girl flying and then the teen Rex too. And the others inside.
Two-Tone wondered how many other canines will be coming in

"Ok, last one in's a rotten ostrich egg!!" The shout from the female hyena was shortly followed by a noise scuffle, as the three hyenas all tried to squeeze in the door at the same time. After a few minutes of grunting, snorting, wheezing and generally not getting anywhere, with a POP they all three went flying inside, tumbling across the floor a few feet before coming to a stop.
After taking a moment to get their bearings, the threesome charged at the table. "Me first!!" Banzai shouted. Shenzi grabbed his tail, pulling him behind her. "Are you out of your flea-pickin' mind!! I'M first!!"
"Hehehe hehehe HEEE HEEE HAAA!!" Ed screeched, running ahead of the other two.
"ED!!!" Shenzi and Banzai shouted simultaneously, lunging forward and subsequently tripping each other. Shenzi got up first (after smacking Banzai over the head) and rushed to join Ed at the table, propping her paws up on the table like Ed and snuffing noisily.
"Hey!! Where's the food?!" Shenzi scratched her head with a paw before staring vehemently at Banzai. "I thought you said this was gonna be a buffet!"

A brown-and-white dog entered the hall, standing on hind legs instead of all fours, smile on her white muzzle. She looked around the room. Christmas! Her favorite time of the year. A contented sigh escaped her mouth as the pup flopped onto the nearest chair, right next to the tree. If only it could be like this all year. -------- Another person entered, this time a human girl. Silver orbs inspected each part of the room, a little half-smile on her pale face. She fixed her Ravenclaw sweater and unwrapped her scarf and placed it carefully where the nargles wouldn't find it. They tended to give her trouble from time to time. She didn't know exactly who to talk to first, seeing as she didn't know anybody. Well there was always a time for making new friends, skills she unfortunatly lacked. The girl with the glasses seems alright, she thought to herself, a half frown appearing on her lips, she seems to be infested with mugwumps, one should never have those.
Luna walked over to the girl, dirty blonde hair flowing out behind her. "Excuse me ma'am, but you seem to have a case of mugwumps infested in your hair." --------- Another pup entered the scene. Even though it was already dark, he was wearing sunglasses and had a smile that even a rock star would've been envious of. He strutted in, as if he were a God waiting to be served. "Hey everybody, Lucky's here. Hold the applause, please. I'd be too much." Hey, if he wanted to enter he wanted to do it in style.

Specs looked down from where she was on her ladder. Guests were finally starting to arrive!! The girl didn't have much social experience, and was slightly mystified by the... unique guests arriving, but she brushed it off. She'd dealt with aliens! How hard could interacting be? Hearing the girl’s voice gave her other thoughts, however. Specs’s head instantly whipped around, causing her to almost fall off the ladder. She felt choked up; it was always difficult to talk to people outside of the aliens and the Galactic League.
“E-excuse me, but I-I have… what in my hair?” she finally managed to choke out. She had no idea what the lady was talking about- not once in her studies did she ever come across something called “mugwumps”. Maybe the girl was crazy.
Roach fluttered down from the wall, now in the air. “Oh wow!” the little bug exclaimed, his eyes as wide as dinner plates. “I didn’t think we’d have such an interesting turnout! This is fantastic!” Roach beamed, abundantly overjoyed. Excitedly he flew around the room, observing their guests. “M-maybe I should go say hi to them!” he pondered, starting to feel a little shy himself.
Meanwhile, Sabini’s head snapped up at the sound of intense laughter. “Rats! Those no-good, flea-bitten, rotten hyenas!” she muttered under her breath. “I can’t believe they showed- ooh, it makes me sooo mad!” She growled in annoyance, her back to the three cackling creatures. Skye, however, cocked her head, confused. She whimpered curiously, uncurling herself from the lioness’s side and sluggishly stepping forward, sniffing her path in front of her. That brown-and-white dog certainly looked interesting.

Two-tone perked as she heard Lucky's voice "Hey Lucky" She approached Lucky as her tail wagged, she was happy to see him "nice sunglasses, reminds me of the time you were in Cecil B de Vil's Kanine Krunchies commercial, think I can get your autograph?" She asked Lucky playfully. "And don't worry, if Mooch tries to smack you I'll smack him back." She told Lucky with sincerity in her voice

The snow fell in light sheets, setting a wonderful sight to behold in the nighttime. It hadn't gotten much darker, but it was indeed cold. Shapes were moving within the snow, more notably the shape with the pink hair and hooves.
Bob was cantering along at a steady pace, his rider shivering on his back. Taylor had curled up into a ball, in total disbelief that she was stupid enough not to bring a jacket or something. Sure, there had been plenty of snow up in Chicago, but she still wasn't quite used to it. Suddenly, Taylor felt a slightly fuzzy sensation wrap protectively around her, and it took one look to her right to realize it was Bob's tail.
"Thanks Bob." Taylor said. "No problem, y'all. I'm sure y'all would've done the same thing for me." the unicorn replied. "And besides that, we're almost there. Look." Bob said, nodding his head towards the hall. Taylor was glad, for she was really wanting hot chocolate at that moment. ------------ Through the door passed a regal figure, fur as dark as the night itself. Her mane was sparkling with the stars of the night, and flowed of its own accord. Princess Luna was already enjoying the festive holiday tunes, and this was one of her days off, so she felt rather relaxed here. Her teal eyes scanned the place, hoping to find someone to talk to, out of the mixed crowd that was there.
"Having trouble fitting in?" a voice asked, seeming to float right by the princess' ear. Luna turned to face a monster of the past: Discord. However, the draconequus didn't seem like he was up to no good, as usual. He wore a rather festive wreath of poinsettias around his neck, and a genuine smile.
"Forgive me, if I withhold my enthusiasm." Luna said, in a sarcastic tone, holding out her hoof to Discord. He shook her hoof rather roughly, laughing as he did so. "Oh Luna, why must you and your sister be so serious all the time? It's the holidays! Relax a little!" Discord said, spinning in the air. Princess Luna wasn't impressed.
Discord pouted at her expression, and crossed his arms, as if he was a stubborn child. "Fine. I promise I won't cause any trouble during the party." he said. Luna nodded, as if that was what she had been wanting him to say. "Fine. But I expect that you stick to your promise." Luna said, as she headed over to the punchbowl with Discord in tow.

"TOOTHLESS, SLOW DOWN. TOOTHLEEEEEESS!"
The next pair to come barging into the party was a rather strange looking pair. The first, and biggest, of the two was a sleek black dragon with the most brilliant green eyes that were sparkling with excitement and a long tail that appeared to be wagging in delight. The strange thing about his tail was the left tail fin, which was man made and appeared to be crafted out of fine red material. Perched atop the dragon, Toothless, was his rider. The rider was a skinny teenager garbed in green and wearing a red and white colored scarf around his neck along with a furry brown vest over his shirt and comfy looking brown pants. Much like Toothless, the teen appeared to have something odd about him as well. His oddity was his left leg, which had been replaced with a fascinatingly simple prosthetic made up of metal and wood that ended in a hooked 'foot' made just so the boy could fly with his dragon. This was Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, and he was having a very difficult time calming down Toothless.
Suffice to say, the Night Fury was very excited about the day. Mostly Toothless was excited to be spending it with Hiccup, but either way he was thrilled and didn't appear to be slowing down any time soon. However, Toothless did stop short of colliding with anything. In the process of stopping, though, Toothless caused Hiccup to go flying from his saddle. He soon landed in a dazed heap on the floor, bringing Toothless to his side in a matter of seconds and causing the dragon to nudge him a couple of times just to make sure he was okay.
"...If that's not a way to make an entrance, I don't know what is." Hiccup finally wheezed. He stood up, using Toothless to support him, and glanced around the room. Surely someone had noticed his and Toothless' entrance. Sheepishly, Hiccup offered a little wave. "Uh... hi." he said.
-----
For once appearing very much like an average, ordinary 12 year old with scruffy blond hair and bright blue eyes, Arthur was the next to enter the room. He was bundled up snugly in a cozy looking coat that appeared more than a little too big for him and a fuzzy green scarf. He had just been short of seeing Hiccup and Toothless' grand entrance, but that was okay. Arthur just wanted to enjoy the party. He didn't know anyone present, but thought that standing by a wall would be a good idea. Arthur shuffled over to the nearest wall and leaned against it, awkwardly crossing his arms over his chest to make himself appear just a bit more natural, and sighed softly. This was going to be an interesting night.
-----
A pink creature casually walked into the room next. She didn't appear to be wearing anything all that special, but 624 did have a candy cane in her mouth and had flecks of snow covering her body. She had just gotten done playing outside and was all set to enjoy the warmth of the indoors. All she really wanted to do was find a nice mug of hot chocolate and snuggle up in front of a fireplace with it. For the moment, though, the female Experiment was content to mingle.
-----
"Man, did you see the way that kid and his giant lizard entered? So not cool."
Smug as always, Rainbow Dash had decided to observe Hiccup and Toothless' entrance from afar. She was certain that the boy and his dragon were not anywhere near as cool as she was. She was the epitome of cool, after all. Tossing her rainbow colored mane with a confident smirk and letting the messy strands fall where they pleased, Rainbow Dash trotted over to the ones she had been addressing. More specifically, she approached Lucky and Two-Tone. "Now you, Horseshoe, your entrance was cool. I liked it." the pegasus stated, pointing a hoof at Lucky as she spoke.
"'Specially loved the shades. Nice touch. But... you're still not quite on the same level as I am." she stated smugly. Cocky pegasus was very cocky indeed.

Jenny was very shocked to see a dragon. 'Wow...a dragon. I've never seen one up close before. Can i touch him?" she asked almost getting right into Hiccup's face. The robot was very excited to see a creature unlike herself and humans.
A golden haired princess was next to enter. She had never encountered Christmas in her kingdom but she had heard of it and always wanted to participate. "This is so beautiful..." she breathed in awe as she looked around.
--- Wilbur was hanging around the punch table, he almost chocked when he heard Luna's words. "Excuse me miss but what was that you just said that she had in her hair?"

"Well rainbows" Two-Tone looked up at Rainbow Dash "Lucky is my boyfriend and I like his entrance the way it is." She told Rainbow Dash as she sat beside Lucky. "Besides if Lucky wanted to be critisized then we could ask Spot to do it." Two-Tone told the pony. "Besides I can be as cool as Lucky if not cooler" She said matching cockyness with Rainbow Dash's.
"Anybody say coolness?" Came a voice as a blue blur dashed in at top speed, the blue blur dashed around Rainbow Dash before stopping revealing an all too familiar blue hedgehog. He grinned as he tapped his foot, arms crossed "When it comes to coolness I'm the best" Sonic told Rainbow Dash as he looked at the pony. "Seems you think your cool huh? Well you haven't seen the coolness that is the fastest thing alive! Namely me." Sonic told Rainbow Dash.

"Sonic Hedgehog!" A female voice cut through the little group; a cross-looking anthromophic chipmunk strutting towards them, her blue eyes narrowed and arms balled into little fists at her sides. Every. Single. Time they went out like this he just HAD to go ad make a show of himself. Never mind that they had come here together--on a "date" no less--as far as Sonic was concerned there was NOTHING more important on this earth than showing off how "Cool" he was.
And while it DID hold some appeal...tonight was supposed to be about them.
"I've been looking for you everywhere!" Sally Acorn interjected, trying not to imagine the spectacle she must be making. He deserves it.... She told herself he deserves it.... "If you're going to run off on me could you at least give me warning? This isn't Knothole; I don't know where to find you if you just wander off."
--------------------
Further away--as far from the crowd as she could be--a pair of gray-blue eyes surveyed the crowd, muttering to herself. They were all so...happy. Happy, having fun....mingling and making friends as though she didn't matter at ALL. Even Dashie--Rainbow Dash was talking to someone new.... "Not that I'm surprised." Pinkamena spat quietly. Her long, straightened mane hung in front of her face, casting a shadow and accenting the dark lines in her face.
She really shouldn't be surprised no one had noticed her. Not like she'd made the effort but if they really DID care then THEY should extend a hoof, right?
Not like she wanted to be here anyway....if Applebloom hadn't pushed her, the pink-haired mare would've stayed back home in comforting solitude. But here she was, the odd one out at a party of so many.
Fantastic.

"Sal??" Sonic turned as he saw princess Sally calling him out, he knew he had forgotten something despite his bragging toward Dashie and the dalmatians. "Sorry but I can't resist when I see somebody trying to be cool." He told the Princess with nervousness in his voice. One thing he knew was how mad Sally would be and he knew just by staring into her blue eyes she was pretty ticked.
---
"Talk about being hen pecked." Two-Tone joked at Sonic's expense before turning to Lucky "So Lucky think any of the others will show up here?" She asked Lucky, she had thought about dressing up some more other than her winter attire she wore but didn't, she wondered if there was a yard sale box nearby she could jump into. No that wouldn't work besides she didn't wanna look obsessed over yard sales.

Athough there was nothing intentional about it, the next two guests arrived together. The first was a small purple unicorn, whose star-shaped marking on her flank was hidden by an elaborate dress that in itself looked a bit worse-for-wear; it had become rather torn during their flight from the Grand Galloping Gala, but Twilight hadn't really wanted to bother Rarity with making anything new when this party was a relatively minor affair. In contrast to her dress, Twilight's mane was brushed immaculately.
The second figure was taller - a human girl with distinctive red hair tied back in a ponytail, whose own attire suggested she had come straight out of school and hadn't bothered to change. Both females glanced around the already-assembled crowd as they entered, Rose absently twirling her wand between her fingers as she scanned for a familiar - and preferably human - face. These talking animals were proving to be just a liiiittle too much for the Ravenclaw girl.
It didn't take long for either to pinpoint a figure they recognised, and the two went their seperate ways. Pausing to bow to Princess Luna in passing, Twilight approached the unusually subdude-looking Pinkie Pie. Now that was an odd sight - Pinkie was practically the pony of parties - so something must be really wrong if she wasn't getting involved.
"Hey, Pinkie" she began as she approached her friend. There was something oddly familiar about the set of Pinkie's hair right now, and it was setting of a warning signal in the unicorn's head, but she couldn't place the cause. Still, she regarded the other filly quizically for a moment, before continuing. "Is something the matter? I'd have expected you to be right in the middle of the party..."
----
"Miss Luna," Rose couldn't hide a smile as she heard her parents' old friend accuse another girl of being infested with mugwumps. While the blonde lady could make for embarassing company at times, the Weasley girl would generally say that she enjoyed spending time with Luna, only in part because it was always a good laugh - it would be fair to say that Rose actually held a great deal of respect for Luna Lovegood.
(OOC: assuming Luna's an adult here, since Rose is of the next generation. If that's a mistaken assumption, and Luna's still a teen, then I'm thoroughly confused XP)
