Welcome to this reenactment of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Celestia Bless Us

Chapter 1: Rainbow Dash and Apple Bloom

Have you ever heard of a tale on Christmas Eve that an old man has forgotten the holiday's purpose? And that three spirits have visited him and took him through time? It was the world's most beloved and tragic Christmas tale of all time, and it is now being presented in an Equestria Girls version.

It was a year since the Fall Formal, and the Mane Six have graduated Canterlot High. They had incredible lives, all of them. Firstly, Pinkie Pie became Canterlot's best party planner. If you want a wild party or just one for friends, Pinkie Pie is your girl. Rarity is about the CEO of the biggest fashion corperation in the city, Michael Hors. Fluttershy raised about a million dollars for the Canterlot Animal Shelter, and she is the head of her own worldwide organization, Animals for Earth. Twilight Sparkle is at a university, hoping she would accomplish more. Applejack, on the other hand, and her family, Apple Bloom, Big McIntosh and Granny Smith, are almost on the broke road and their family's business is almost extinct. The only one left to inspect was the best coach in Canterlot High history, Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash was a superstar when she was still in school, and she is now a super coach. The Wondercolts have won the Stallion Cup for three years now, undefeated. But there was a catch to being a star coach: you always have to plan strategies and practice for emergencies. Rainbow Dash was left without any time to hang out with her friends. If this keeps up, she will soon forget her loyalty for them.

And it did...

It was December 24th, 2016 and all through Canterlot, everybody was stirring, even... wait. WRONG VERSION! It was a cloudy day in the Cloudsdale Community, and the fluffy frozen flakes were coloring the grass and wilted flowers. Carols were being sung in the tundra and red and green lights were sparkling in the fog. Trees were sprinkling gold and silver and the malls and shopping centres are almost empty... shelves, I mean. One didn't seemed to be enjoying the month long beauty and lights, as she was jogging through the snow. She was a tall, gorgeous teen, with cyan blue skin and a head of a rainbow. She was wearing a denim, wooly jacket, with jogging pants and high top boots. Her name was a legend: Rainbow Dash. The white snow was melting on her blue cheeks and all that remained were drops of water. Rainbow was grumbling.

"Why can't I have my wings, so I can get there faster?" She said to herself, remembering the Fall Formal. She ran quicker through the bitter cold, and tripped over someone. It was Applejack, in her golden arrow colored sweater, and signature cowgirl hat. "Howdy, Rainbow." she smiled at her. "Long time, no see." The blue teenager ignored her and jogged off. Applejack quickly caught up with her. "Where y'all goin', anyways?"

"School." was all that Dash said.

"Y'all are workin' there durin' the holidays?" Applejack's emerald eyes were growing confused. "It's Christmas, sugarcube."

"So?"

"So y'all need to relax. M'ah family hasn't seen ya for ages. Follow me." Applejack ran forward and the athlete stopped. Apple stopped, too. "What's wrong, sugarcube?"

"Nothing. I'm just getting a head start." She lied, but AJ knew when somebody was lying, even though it doesn't show the outside.

"Yer lyin', aren't y'all?" Applejack was starting to look upset. "I'm yer best friend, and yer just goin' ahead of me, because of a sleezy sports team?"

"We won the Stallion for three years solid! I like to see you win the Consumers Best Choice award for a whole three years! Just leave me alone!" She started to jog again, but Applejack took hold of her arm.

"Listen, Rainbow, I'm sorry if I made y'all uncomfortable, but there's a lot of things y'all are missin' out on." A tear was streaming down her orange skinned cheek, freezing into a drop of ice, (not that fast, though.)

"Like what?"

Applejack looked more upset at this."Like my li'l sis, Apple Bloom..."

"What about MY needs, Applejack? If you want to talk to someone about your family crisis, tell it to somebody who cares!" Rainbow Dash turned and Applejack just stood in the cold, snow-covered sidewalk. She waved and chanted in the fog, before Rainbow vanished from view.

"Merry Christmas." Applejack turned herself, and buried her face in her hands, as she walked. "Poor Apple Bloom..."

At Canterlot High, three young girls were playing in the snow. One was a young amber orange skinned freshgirl, with magenta hair and a leather jacket. one was a white skinned girl, with curly bright violet and pink hair, and her jacket was a french long jacket. The last one was the youngest of the three. She had red hair, with peachy-yellow skin. She was wearing a green, long-sleeved sweater, with apple-bottom jeans. She is Applejack's younger sister, Apple Bloom.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were having a one-on-one snowball fight, while Apple Bloom sat on the nearest bench all alone. She wanted to play, too, but she was sick. Nobody knows what caused it, but it's nothing bad, not that she knew anything else. Scootaloo called a time-out, and ran to Apple Bloom.

"I know you wanted to play with us, but your sister said to keep you from getting worse." Scootaloo exclaimed. Apple Bloom nodded and hugged her friend.

"I know, Scoots," Apple Bloom said in a sad, melodious voice. "You don't have ta - - *COUGH COUGH* - - worry."

"Hey, look, it's Rainbow Dash!" Sweetie Belle yelled, pointing to the entrance to the gymnasium. It was, indeed Rainbow Dash, and her face was a tinge of red at the moment. Scootaloo helped Apple Bloom up off the bench and they hurried to her.

"Rainbow Dash!" shouted Scootaloo, still helping Apple Bloom. The cyan coach stopped and she smiled at the three girls.

"Hey, Scoots," Rainbow high-fived her. "How's your throwing arm comin'?"

"Pretty good." Scootaloo hoisted Apple Bloom, who smiled at Rainbow and chuckled.

"I haven't seen ya, since ya graduated, Rainbow." She said cheeringly. "How are ya doin?" Rainbow's mind raced, as she remembered what Applejack said earlier...

"Listen, Rainbow, I'm sorry if I made y'all uncomfortable, but there's a lot of things y'all are missin' out on...Like my li'l sis, Apple Bloom..."

Rainbow then, unlocked the door with her staff key, and shut the door. Sweetie Belle were confused, but Apple Bloom kept on smiling, even if it faded a little. "I wonder what's wrong?" Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo.

"Don't ask me!" The amber girl protested. "Let's head back, Apple Bloom." She nodded and whispered to the sky.

"Celestia bless us, even Rainbow Dash." and it was Sweetie Belle's turn to help Apple Bloom.

Peter Griffin read this part and he read the last sentence: "Celestia bless us..."

He got excited. "OH, SHE SAID IT, SHE SAID IT!" he shouted.

That's it for Chapter 1! I decided to release this on Fanfiction first, knowing that I have lots of fans here. Please review and follow. Characters belong to Hasbro, "A Christmas Carol" belongs to Charles Dickens, and the Family Guy reference is from 20th Century Fox.
