Applejack: Time for the traditional holiday meltdown, huh? Heyyyyy, Twilight. How's your daaaaay? Deeeeeep breaths, now. In through the nose... out through the mouth... Thaaaat's right...

Twilight Sparkle: It's just that I'm WAY behind grading midterms and I've got family visiting for Hearth's Warming Eve and I haven't started decorating and I don't know what to get any of you and --!

Applejack: EASY, now! Why don't we pull a Hearth's Warmin' Helper? We'll put our names in a hat and pick one at random. Just buy a present for the pony ya picked! One present for one pony!

Rarity: Yes... the hat WAS intended for somepony special... And I want HIM to keep it! Now, if I hear you calling yourself a nopony again, you shan't be my guest for Manehatten Fashion Week!
