The crickets are chirping, everyone in the library are sleeping well almost everypony. Wolfie is peeking out the curtains looking at the moon.
Spike: [snore]
Suddenly Twilight wakes up.
Twilight: [gasp] Spike, wake up. Wake up, wake up, it's Winter Wrap Up day!
Spike: Huh? Mommy?
Twilight: Winter Wrap Up!
Spike: You're not mommy.
Twilight: Spike, the first day of spring is tomorrow, so everypony in Ponyville needs to clean up winter. Now help me get ready.
Wolfie: Twila-
Spike: Clean up winter? Who cleans up winter? Don't they just use magic to change the seasons like they do in Canterlot?
Twilight: No Spike, Ponyville was started by Earth ponies, so for hundreds of years they've never used magic to clean up winter. It's traditional. [sigh]
Wolfie: Twila-
Spike: It's ridiculous. No magic... Fuh.
Twilight: Okay, let's see: scarf, check; saddle, check; boots, check; Spike refusing to get up and going back to sleep, check. Wolfie already being awake, check. It's a good thing I'm so organized, I'm ready. Bright and early. Oh... maybe a little too early.
Wolfie: That's what I've been trying to tell you.
Insert Theme Song
It's now daytime and Twilight is running to town hall with Spike on her back and Wolfie in her mane. Spike is still asleep and Wolfie is wagging her tail like a dog at seeing all the snow.
Twilight: Those must be the team vests Rarity designed. Blue for the weather team, green for the plant team, and tan for the animal team. I wonder which team vest I'll be wearing.
Spike: I'll take a blue vest, same color as my blankie, which I think I hear calling my name. "Spike! Spike! Come to bed!" Ugh, it's too early.
Wolfie: Maybe a tan vest for me...
Thoughts: Then I can snag a few bunnies. Or birds. Or anything really.
Twilight: I know what you're thinking Wolfie. Don't.
Wolfie: Aww.
Mayor Mare: Thank you, everypony, for being here bright and early. We need every single pony's help to wrap up winter, and bring in spring.
Everypony cheer.
Mayor Mare: Now, all of you have your vests, and have been assigned to your teams, so let's do even better than last year, and have the quickest Winter Wrap Up ever!
Everypony cheer again.
Twilight: Oh, this is so exciting.
Mayor Mare: All right everypony, find your team leader, and let's get galloping!
Twilight: Oh gosh, where should I go? I'm not sure where I fit in. What exactly does everypony do?
Twilight: Everypony belongs to a team. What should I do? Where should I go?
RD: All right team, you're clear for takeoff.
Twilight: Rainbow Dash!
RD: Oh, hey Twilight, what's up?
Twilight: What are you doing?
RD: Sending off one of my flight crews to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter.
Twilight: Oh, can I help? How about if I help clear out the clouds?
RD: Um...
Twilight: Right. No wings.
RD: Sorry, Twilight.
Twilight: [gasp] Great, now what do we do?
Twilight sees Spike in a bush.
Spike: I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be nappin'. [snore]
Wolfie: Careful for splinters.
Twilight: Come on Spike, this is serious business. Winter needs to be wrapped up, and I'm determined to do my part. Somehow.
Scene Change- Rarity's Botique
Rarity is seen making a birds' nest. Twilight walks up to her Wolfie and Spike next to her.
Twilight: Rarity, please tell me there's something, anything I can help you with.
Rarity: Well, how would you like to help create Ponyville's finest birds' nests?
Twilight: Birds' nests?
Rarity: Why yes. When the weather team guides the birds back north for the spring, they'll need a place to live and lay their eggs.
Twilight: Wow, Rarity, that one's really beautiful.
Rarity: Oh why, thank you most sincerely. Would you like to try your hoof at a nest?
Twilight: Would I? Yes! Where do I begin?
Wolfie: Can I make one too?
Rarity: Okay. Now... uh, take some of that straw and hay over there, and a little bit of branch. Now, weave them through there, yes. Uh, take some ribbon, yes, oh uh, n... not there, oooh, yes, uh, tuck it in over there, uh but be careful not to... I don't know I guess that would do... oh dear.
Twilight: There! It looks just like... yours. Oh my.
Twilight made a nest that looks like it was bird made and not pony made.
Wolfie: Let me try.
Wolfie proceeds to make a nest nearly identical to Rarity's except with a green bow instead of a red one.
Wolfie: You just need to know how to not use your magic.
Spike: Twilight's nest needs to be condemned.
Rarity: Oh, Spa-ha-hike, it's not so bad, ah, maybe birds can use it as a...
Spike: An outhouse?
Wolfie stifles a laugh while climbing onto Twilight's back.
Rarity: Spike. It's just fine. It's just a little rough around the edges. Let me lend you a hoof. Let's just untie this ribbon, and let me take out these sticks here, we'll shave this... [mumbling]
Rarity then goes to her own little world trying to fix the nest.
Twilight: Hw...
Spike: I think we lost her.
Rarity: Ah, and we need to weave the string...
They then walk away.
Scene Change- The Lake
Pinkie: Hellooooooo, Twilight! Wheeeeeeee!
Pinkie twirls on top of the frozen lake.
Twilight: Wow, Pinkie Pie, you're quite the skater. Probably the best skater I've ever seen.
Pinkie: Thanks Twilight, I've been doing this since I was an itty-bitty little-wittle Twinkie-Pinkie. Just comes natural. Which is probably why they designated me the lake scorer. I cut lines in the lakes with my skates. That way, when the rest of the weather team comes here to break the ice, it'll be easy as pie.
Twilight: How clever. When the thick ice begins to melt, it'll break along the lines. Well, you sure have a lot of work ahead of you, there's quite a few lakes in Ponyville.
Pinkie: Ha, tell me about it. Hey, Twilight, Wolfie you two wanna help me out?
Twilight: Would I?
Wolfie: Sure.
Pinkie: Come on, put on those skates over there. I bet you to will be naturals too.
Twilight: Okay.
When they get their skates on they head to the ice. Wolfie immediately takes off already getting the hang of it. Twilight on the other hand, struggles.
Wolfie: Wow! How come I haven't done this sooner!
Pinkie: Yaaaaay! [cheers]
Twilight: Uh... maybe on second thought.
Spike: What are you talking about? You said you wanted to be helpful.
Pinkie : Yippie!
Spike: Now get out there.
Twilight: Oh no, whoa, wow...
Pinkie: Twilight, steer! Steer!
Twilight: Yaaaaa!
Pinkie: Oh boy...
Twilight runs into Pinkie and they both scream as they head closer to some snow. They then hit Spike and the three of them land. All on top the other.
Spike: Pwuh.
Pinkie: [blips]
Spike: Ha ha, you are a natural, Twilight. A natural disaster. [laughter]
Spike falls off them in laughter and Wolfie skates over.
Wolfie: Are you ok Twila? Pinkie?
Pinkie: Twilight, you did a great job your first time around. I'm sure my first time was just as wobbly and bobbly and crasheriffic as yours.
Twilight: Really?
Pinkie: No. I was like Wolfie.
Spike: [chuckles]
Pinkie: But did I make you feel better?
Twilight: Mm-hmm, yeah, I guess.
Pinkie: I think you'll be super awesome at something that keeps your hooves on the ground. I know, Fluttershy could probably use your help with the critters.
Twilight: Well... I'm pretty good with little animals. Yeah, I'll go help her.
Twilight slides one way Spike staying in his spot while Wolfie goes to take off her skates.
Pinkie: Uh... it's, ah, that a-way.
Twilight: Yaaaaaa!
Twilight goes the other way and crashes again.
Spike: [chuckles]
Scene Change- The Animal Burrows
The three find Fluttershy poking her head in a burrow while ringing a bell.
Fluttershy: Wake up, little sleepy heads. Hope you had some wonderful dreams and restful hibernation, but it's time to get up now, spring is coming.
Some hedgehogs come out rubbing they're eyes and stretching.
Hedgehogs: [yawn]
Twilight: Awww, how cute.
Fluttershy: Aren't they? This is my favorite task of the whole season, when I get to see all my little animal friends again.
Spike: Uh, what's "hibernation"?
Fluttershy: It's like a long sleep.
Spike: Long sleep?
Fluttershy: Yes. [bell rings] Wake up, little porcupines. Animals often hibernate through the winter to save their energy and eat less food.
Spike: I definitely like the idea of hibernation, uh, except for the "eat less food" part.
Porcupines: [yawn] [yelp]
The porcupines go to hug each other big they get poked by each others quills.
Wolfie: [giggle]
Fluttershy: Oh, would you just look at all these warrens and dens? I'm worried that I won't be able to wake up every animal before spring comes.
Twilight: Well, I'll help, Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: You will? Oh, that would be wonderful.
Wolfie: Can I help too?
Twilight: No. You're just going to eat something.
Twilight nods her head to a den.
Twilight: Okay, let's start there. [bell rings]
Twilight: Hello? Wake up little friends, wherever you are. Spring is coming. [bell rings] I wonder which cute little furry creatures I've awoken.
Snakes pop out.
Snakes: [hiss]
Twilight: Waaa! Snakes! Snakes! [scream] Ugh! [grunt] [scream] Ugh!
When Twilight ran away from the snakes, she ran into a bat cave. She continues to run into a tree and knocks down a bee hive. And finally run into a different den where she gets sprayed by skunks.
Wolfie: Ooh..
Fluttershy: Good morning, friends.
Twilight: [groan]
Scene Change- The Library
Twilight is getting a tomato bath. Spike's brushing her ears while Wolfie's just standing there cringing at the smell.
Twilight: [sigh] All this Winter Wrap Up stuff is a lot harder than it looks.
Spike: [nasally] Right, because there's no magic.
Wolfie: Welcome to my world.
Spike: [nasally] Why don't you just use magic, Twilight, and get it done the right way?
Twilight: No, Spike, I have to do it the traditional way. Ponyville has never needed magic to wrap up winter.
Spike: [nasally] Well, they never had you here before, either. Think how much quicker they could wrap up winter with your magic.
Wolfie: Twila, I've never used magic. And have I struggled? No I haven't. You can do the same.
Twilight: No, no, no! Wolfie's right, I'm gonna find some other way that I can help out if it kills me. [grunt]
Scene Change- Sweet Apple Acres
AJ: Keep pushin', Caramel. That's it, Bumpkin. I know it's hard work, but you guys are doin' great. Yee-haw!
Twilight (who is now clear of skunk smell and bee stings), Wolfie and Spike walk up to Applejack.
Twilight: Hey, Applejack. How's everything going?
AJ: Oh, just dandy. A little slow startin', but peachy all the same. There's a lot of ground to clear, ya hear? We can't even start the plantin' and the waterin' until we git all these heap a' snow hightailed outta here.
Twilight: Well, I'd like to help.
AJ: Well, I... I dunno Twilight.
Twilight: Just give me a chance.
AJ: Well, I never turn down a hard worker, but...
Twilight goes to a snow plow and shows how to fail pushing one.
Twilight: [struggle] Ugh... [struggle] Ugh... [gasp]
Then Twilight thinks about what Spike said.
Spike: Think of how much quicker they could wrap up winter with your magic.
Twilight: I could use a come-to-life spell. Hwww... Here goes...
AJ: Hmm. She's awful strong for such a little pony.
Spike and Wolfie notice Twilight's horn was glowing.
Spike: That's my girl, following my advice.
Wolfie: And she didn't follow mine.
AJ: And what in tarnation does that mean?
Twilight: [gasp] Uh-oh. Slow down. Slow down!
Spike: [yelp]
Twilight slams into Spike and Applejack carrying them in her ever growing snowball. Wolfie thankfully was able to jump out of the way.
Spike/AJ: Whoa-oa-oa!
AJ: What's going on? Wha'd'ya do? You used magic, didn't you?
They eventually crash into a cliffside. Causing the snow atop it to fall. Onto all the cleared land too. Applejack, Twilight and Applejack pop their heads out of the snow while Wolfie runs over to dig them out.
AJ: Nuts, Twilight, you used magic!
Spike: The nerve! Can you believe her?
Wolfie: Spike.. If you don't stop I'll dig snow over you.
AJ: That's not how we do it around here, Twilight, and especially not on my farm!
Twilight: Well, see, I just wanted to... [whine]
Twilight runs away as soon as Wolfie's done digging her out.
Scene Change- A Bush- In all seriousness Town Hall
Two pegasi are jumping on a couple of trees to drop the snow atop of them. When the snow fall it lands on a wagon where an earth pony pulls it away. We head to a bush where Spike is talking to a hiding Twilight. Wolfie isn't there because she is helping the earth ponies clear the snow Twilight dropped.
Spike: Come on, Twilight. Come on out.
Twilight: I'm a winter mess up.
Spike: Well you're good at a lot of things, just not nest-making, ice-skating, animal-waking, snow-clearing. Those were all thing Wolfie could do.
Twilight: [whine] Thanks a lot for making me feel so much better.
Spike: That's what I'm here for, sister.
Meanwhile not to far away, Applejack (with Wolfie next to her) was telling Rainbow what to do.
AJ: Rainbow Dash, y'all on the weather team need to melt the rest of the snow here on the ground and the trees, pronto.
RD: Got it.
She goes to zip away when she runs into Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Wait. My poor little animals' homes will get flooded if the snow melts too fast.
RD: Got it.
She zips back toward Applejack.
AJ: I'm tellin' you, Rainbow, you gotta melt that snow now.
Rainbow flies up towards the sky.
Fluttershy: No, you simply must wait.
RD: Okay.
AJ: Go.
Fluttershy: Stop.
AJ: Go.
Fluttershy: Stop.
AJ: GO!
Fluttershy: STOP!
RD: Ugh! Make up your minds!
Mayor Mare: Oh! What in Equestria are all you arguing about? This sort of silliness is why we were late for spring last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.
Twilight: Did she say late?
Mayor Mare: I was hoping my amazingly inspirational speech would urge everyone to do better than last year, but now it looks like we're going to be later than ever. I mean just look at this catastrophe! The ice scorers made the ice chunks too big to melt. The nest designer is horrendously behind. We need several hundred, and she's only made two!
Rarity: [sob]
Mayor Mare: And don't get me started on all the clouds in the sky, the icicles on the trees... this isn't good, not at all!
AJ: And it's gonna be all to pieces disastrous if we can't get our seeds all planted.
RD: Chillax Applejack, we're bustin' our chops as fast as we can.
Fluttershy: No, not fast. We have to wake animals slowly.
Then Big Mac and Caramel walk up to them.
Big Mac: Uh, AJ?
AJ: Oh good gravy, Caramel lost the grass seeds again, didn't he?
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Caramel: [whimpers]
Rainbowshine: [grunt] Ditzy Doo accidentally went north to get the southern birds!
Rainbow: Oh that featherbrain. Didn't she learn her lesson last year when she went west?
Many ponies start to grumble and complain while Wolfie sees Spike and hides behind him while covering her ears.
Mayor Mare: Stop this at once. We don't have time to argue. It's almost sundown. Spring is going to be late again. Another year of scandal and shame. If only we could be more organized.
Twilight then pops out of the bush with an idea.
Twilight: Spike! Get my checklist and clipboard, STAT!
Spike: Eh, yes, ma'am.
Twilight: Stop, everypony!
The ponies don't hear her and still argue.
Twilight: Stop!
She sees a bird a makes a loud chirp come out. Making everyone stop arguing and Wolfie let out a whine similar to that of a dog.
Twilight: Sorry. I know you all want to complete your jobs on time, but arguing is no way to go about it. What you need is organization, and I'm just the pony for the job.
Then things start. Big Mac is seen stacking up the hay bales so Rarity can just grab them when making the nests. Wolfie is there helping her make a few then goes to hang one up on a tree. Many other ponies are hanging up more nests as well. Spike checks that off the list.
Now Twilight, Wolfie, Pinkie and Spike are at a lake. Where ponies are lined up to cut the ice. Pinkie and Wolfie zips over and together the ponies cut the ice. Spike goes to check that off as well.
At the Apple Farm, Applejack waves a flag. Next to her are Spike and Twilight. Not too far away from them, Wolfie is digging holes into the snow all into one big pile. Down the hill many of the earth ponies are plowing the snow. Behind them are other ponies dropping seeds. Spike checks that one off too.
At the burrows many bells are hung up above the openings. Wolfie is above a burrow ready to grab an animal to eat. Fluttershy then pulls a rope causing the bells to ring. Wolfie dives down when she sees a couple of bunnies but is then pulled away by Twilight's magic.
A bird on Fluttershy's head goes to chirp signaling the pegasi, it's time to clear the clouds. And soon the clouds are gone and the wind taking the clouds, also take the snow on top the trees as well.
The cut up snow is now melting. While some earth ponies are still plowing. And at night everyone is still working. Spike and Wolfie even help. Wolfie digs a small hole and Spike puts in a few seeds. Wolfie covers the hole and the walk away.
By morning, all the birds are back. They nest in the nests. And ponies are pulling buckets of water to help water the seeds. Spike checks that off the list. When he looks up, everything is green once again. All the animals are here as well.
On a hill, all the ponies gather up and Mayor Mare starts talking.
Mayor Mare: I can't believe it. Spring is here! On time! And we have you to thank for it. If it weren't for your organizing skills, we would still be arguing.
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Everypony laughs.
Twilight: It was a team effort.
Mayor Mare: And since you helped every team, we have an official vest for you. We give you the title, "All-Team Organizer". And for young Wolfie, even though we don't have young ones help, we'll give an exception. For you we give you "All-Team Helper".
Rarity walks up to them and puts on matching vests for Twilight and Wolfie. Blue on the top and green on the bottom. With tan lining.
Twilight: Gosh, I don't even know what to say. Thank you, everypony.
Wolfie: Thanks.
Mayor Mare: And hereby I declare that winter is... wrapped up on time.
Everypony cheers.
AJ: Spike's sure gonna be in for a hog-sized surprised when that last piece a' ice melts.
We see that Spike is asleep on a tiny piece of ice. Just big enough for him to be on. Everypony laugh.
Timeskip- The Library
Twilight: Dear Princess Celestia,
Winter Wrap Up was one of the most special things I've ever been a part of here in Ponyville. It helped me to learn we all have hidden talents, and if we're patient and diligent, we're sure to find them, and as always, with good friendship and teamwork, ponies can accomplish anything. How's that, Spike? Spike?
Spike: [snore]
Twilight: Oh, Spike. [laughter]
Wolfie: Let him sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
Next episode we're going to meet the CMC. That's going to be Wolfie's friend group. That's not good for Applebloom because when we last saw her she seemed to have gotten a crush...
Anyways thanks to Dreamlighting for voting again. I have a feeling I'm going to hear a lot from you. And even thought I'm probably not gonna write on them, everyone check out my other books.
Now onto the next chapter
