Well here it is. Minty is expecting a bundle of joy. As our story opens its 3 months before the big night in December:
David: Where are all my animals? *Sees them come in* Okay animals I am gonna give you all a CD. Song 3 you need to memorize. *Minty comes in and bumps into stuff* And there's our lead actress.
Minty: Sorry I'm late. Being pregnant has its advantages and disadvantages.
David: *Seeing her distraught* Girl you should be happy your pregnant.
Minty: I am. Its just that.... well you know.
David: Minty remember our talk years ago?
Minty: Of course. But I did almost ruin Christmas.
Baby Twilight Sparkle: How?
Minty: It was years ago when I was 10. We had made the most delicious looking candy cane. It was for Santa. Christmas Eve came and I wanted to straighten it and when I did.... It fell to the ground and broke. David what if I drop my baby or worse?
Twilight Sparkle: That was years ago. *Coming out as Gabrielle the angel* So how do I look?
Megan: Nice.
Sunstar: *Coming out with her costume on backwards* Can someone please help me? This angel outfit isn't easy to get on.
David: No wonder. You got it on backwards silly. *Helps her put it on the right way* Okay so here's the deal. After Minty sings "Silent Night" in her part we need all the angels to come out. Megan this will be your cue to sing "Mary did you know".
Megan: Got it.
David: You all have 3 months to learn the moves that Megan will teach you. *They nod* Minty can you learn "Silent Night" by that time?
Minty: Sure.
David: And Minty? *She nods* We'll help you however we can with the preparations for your new arrival.

David goes to the hospital with Minty to see what she's gonna have Minty: So great to know my friend is coming with me. Too bad Christmas Miracle comes around only during the Christmas season. David: Yeah why is that? Minty: He has decided to help up at the North Pole to get things ready for Christmas. Speaking of which do you think you know who might make a visit in December? David: I bet he can. *Puts his hand on her stomach* I felt a kick. Minty: Awesome. *They head in* Dr. Knitz: Hey there girl. Ready to see what you're gonna have? Minty: Sure. *They head into the sonogram room* Can David come too?

Minty: Alright so what's first?
David: You're the mom you decide.
Minty: The ice cube game sounds fun.
Sunstar: On it. *Pours them all glasses with an ice cube in each with a tiny plastic baby inside*
David: You all know the rules. While we play that Minty can they guess your tummy size? *She nods*
Baby Luna: MY WATER BROKE! *David looks in her glass*
David: We got a winner.
Luna: Just like her mama. Really smart. *They all measure Minty's tummy*
Baby Celestia: How's this?
David: We shall see. *They continue and David gets out a measuring tape* Okay let's see who got the closest. *Looks at Baby Pinkie Pie* We got a winner. She was spot on.
Baby Pinkie Pie: Mama helped.

The games continue and they play "Who's that baby picture of" David: Okay can anyone guess who's baby picture this is? And no hints from certain friends. *Holds up a picture of Christmas Miracle* Baby Luna: It can't be. Christmas Miracle is that you? Christmas Miracle: It sure is. *There's a knock on the door* David: Now I wonder who that could be? *Winking at Christmas Miracle and opens the door and there stood* Minty: RUDOLPH! *Runs up and hugs him* Rudolph: Yes its me. I would have been here sooner but we had a little trouble with your present. Consider it an early Christmas present. *Holds up a special snowglobe* Remember that snowglobe Santa gave you? Minty: Yeah. Rudolph: This is extra special. Shake it and you can talk to any of us. And its a two way snowglobe meaning.... Minty: You can see when I have my baby. *Rudolph nods* I have one problem. Rudolph: Is it because you're worried you might drop her? *She nods* Read this. *She does* Minty: Dear Minty, Santa: I know being a first time parent can be kinda hectic. I was watching my snowglobe the other day and I overheard that you're worried about dropping the baby. Christmas Eve look under your tree for a special gift. Minty: Signed, Santa, P.S I plan on coming to the play so put on your best smile. David: Aww. Minty: David did you know about this? David: Yeah. Christmas Miracle filled us in.

Minty: So what's next?
David: Presents. *She smiles* Here's one from me. *Holds up a box wrapped* Its something special.
Minty: I wonder what it could be. *She opens it and starts crying* Its beautiful. *Holding up an album that also has a baby album in it*
David: Look in the one with your name on it. *She does and awes*
Minty: My goodness. All those good times. From when I was a baby. Gosh I remember when I was little Twilight Sparkle. It was your first foalsitting job and you called Cadence every five minutes to see what to do.
Twilight Sparkle: I remember that. Even when you needed a diaper change.
Cadence: I remember that. "Cadence. Minty is crying and she smells really bad." I giggled. I told her "Change her diaper." Then she asked how. I talked her through it. Then you wouldn't go to sleep for a nap. I told her to start humming. You loved that.
Minty: Oh David. You got a picture of me and you that Christmas Eve.
Megan: Yes. I took a picture that night.
Minty: Thanks friends. *Opens another gift* Oh its wonderful Christmas Miracle. *Holding up a sweater*
Christmas Miracle: I worked really hard on that. Promise me she'll wear it.
Minty: Of course.

David: Okay angels show me your moves. *Hits play and "Mary did you know" plays and the angels dance* Beautiful girls. Baby Shady and Baby Lickety-Split how's the costumes for the rest of our friendly beasts going? Baby Shady: Good. Come on Scoot-a-loo work with me girl.

The night of the play David: Welcome. *Handing out booklets of the play* Thank you for coming. *Sees Santa and Mrs. Claus* Ah our guests of honor. *Megan comes up* Megan what's up? Megan: Minty looks like she's going into labor. Santa: I hope she'll be okay. David: I'll see how she's doing. *He goes backstage and Minty is sitting up* Minty we can take you to the hospital buddy. Minty: I'm fine. The play must go on. *David nods and the lights dim* David: Show's about to start. *Goes out* Hello ladies and gentlemen and our guests of honor Mr. and Mrs. Claus. *Looks up in the rafters* And I see some of our other friends are here as well. Rudolph, Bumble, Hermie and Yukon. Yukon: We couldn't miss our friend's big night. Rudolph: You got that right. David: Without further ado our play starts in a town called Jerusalem. *The curtains open and there stood Minty who right now seems fine* Mary is about to be visited by an angel. *Sunstar comes out* Sunstar: Do not fear Mary. You have found favor in God's sight. You shall bear a child and his name shall be Emmanuel. Minty: But how can this be? *She starts breathing hard* For I am a virgin. Sunstar: You shall bear a child for nothing is impossible with God. Even now your cousin Elizabeth who is barren is also with child. *Seeing Minty hunched over in pain* Minty are you okay? Minty: *Between breaths* Ye... yeah Sunstar. Please continue David. David: So Mary went to see her cousin. And when she came in the door the baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb. Jessica: Mary. Blessed are you among women for when I heard your voice the baby in my womb leaped. *The curtains close and David looks Minty over* David: Minty I really think we should take you to the hospital buddy. You look like your in a lot of pain. We can have someone take over for you. Minty: But no one knows Mary's lines like I do. *Sighs* See I'm fine. She's settled down now. David: Okay. But if you go into labor we're taking you to the hospital immediately. *She nods*

David: Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant and thought not to make a scene and do away with her. But then an angel appeared to him in a dream.
Twilight Sparkle: Joseph. Do not be afraid. Your wife Mary will bear a son that is from God. *Minty can be heard screaming in the back* His name will be Jesus.
David: At that same time Elizabeth bore her son. Zechariah was unable to speak till his son was born. The people kept telling him to name him after his relatives but Zechariah wrote on paper the baby's name. *Danny holds up a piece of paper saying "John"* Now it is said that there was a decree going out by Caesar that all who were in Jerusalem would go to their birthplace. Bethlehem was Joseph's so he took his wife Mary and they went to inns but everywhere they went....
Nightsky: *With Minty who was okay at the moment* Please my wife is about to give birth. Do you have any rooms?
David: There were no rooms for them. But an innskeeper had pity on them and put them in a barn for there was no room for....
Minty: ITS TIME!
David: Not now Minty. That doesn't come till...
Minty: NO DAVID ITS TIME! I MEAN IT REALLY IS TIME! *She screams and water gushes out of her*
David: Ladies and gentlemen we have an emergency. Please take a five minute intermission or however long it takes. *They close the curtain and everyone was hushed as they waited* Jessica we might need your assistance here.
Jessica: I don't think she'll make it to the hospital. I see a head. *Minty starts crying*
Minty: It hurts so bad.
David: Just hang in there buddy.

Jessica: Alright Minty stay with us buddy. *Within seconds a baby is heard crying* Minty. Say hello to Baby Minty. *Brings her over to Minty*
Minty: She's beautiful. Wanna hold her David?
David: Me? *She nods* Minty we need to take you to the hospital. *Minty frowns*
Minty: The play though.
David: You think you can do it?
Minty: Uh huh. But first we need to introduce a new member to the play. *Pointing at Baby Minty*
David: Sure. Places everyone. *Goes out and the crowd is still hushed* Ladies and Gentlemen. We have a new member to the play. Baby Jesus will now be played by Baby Minty who was just born to Minty and Nightsky. *They all erupt into applause and hooping and hollering and Christmas Miracle comes running down*
Christmas Miracle: Can I see her first?
David: Let me ask. *Goes backstage* Minty, Christmas Miracle wants to see Baby Minty before the play continues. Is that okay?
Minty: Of course. *David motions him in* Hey buddy. Here she is. *Christmas Miracle sees her and smiles*
Christmas Miracle: Aw. She's a sweetheart. Yes she is. *Baby Minty opens her eyes and coos at him* Hey. She likes me. Well what are we waiting for. We got a play to finish. *David and Minty nod*

David: But not only did Mary have a story to tell.
Megan: That's your cue friendly beasts. You're on. *They all go out and the audience awes*
David: But so did the animals in the barn. For you see they each brought a gift to Jesus.
Baby Ponies: This is our story.
Friendly Beasts (Sang by the baby ponies):
Jesus our brother kind and good Was humbly born in a stable rude. And the friendly beasts around him stood Jesus our brother, kind and good.
Scoot-a-loo: "I," said the donkey, all shaggy and brown, "I carried his mother up hill and down I carried his mother to Bethlehem town. " "I," said the donkey, all shaggy and brown.
Sweetie Belle: "I," said the cow, all white and red "I gave him my manger for his bed I gave him my hay to pillow his head. " "I," said the cow, all white and red
Baby Fluttershy: "I," said the sheep, with curly horn, "I gave him my wool for a blanket warm He wore my coat on Christmas morn. " "I," said the sheep, with curly horn.
Baby Shady and Baby Lickety-Split: "I," said the dove, from the rafters high "I cooed him to sleep so he would not cry We cooed him to sleep, my love and I "I," said the dove, from the rafters high.
Thus every beast, by some good spell In the stable rude was glad to tell Of the gift he gave Emmanuel The gift he gave Emmanuel The gift he gave Emmanuel
David: But all these things Mary kept in her heart.
Silent Night (Sang by Minty):
Silent night, Holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and child Holy infant, tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, Holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at thy birth Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
Silent night, Holy night Shepherds quake, at the sight Glories stream from heaven above Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born
David: Little did Mary know that one day Jesus would grow up and save us all.

A group of ponies dressed as angels come out along with Twilight Sparkle and Sunstar and the song "Mary Did You Know" is sang by Megan while they dance with sign language Mary Did You Know (Sang by Megan): Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your Baby Boy has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you. Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand? Did you know that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod? When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God? Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo The blind will see. The deaf will hear. The dead will live again. The lame will leap. The dumb will speak The praises of The Lamb. Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations? Did you know that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am. David: That same night some shepherds were watching their flock by night. Then they saw the star and a band of angels in the heavens and they were so afraid. Twilight Sparkle: *Using her horn to make her look like she was bright* Do not be afraid for I bring you news of glad tidings. A baby is born in Bethlehem this night. He is the one the prophecies foretold. David: Then the band of angels joined the lead angel saying.... Angels: Glory to God in the highest. Peace to man on earth. David: Join with us in singing "Joy to the World" on your handout. Joy to the World: Joy to the world! The Lord is come Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven, and heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods Rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sound joy No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found Far as the curse is found Far as, far as the curse is found He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders and wonders of His love

David: So the shepherds went to meet Jesus. They also had a guest with them. A boy with a drum.
The Little Drummer Boy (Sang by the Ponyland choir):
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum, When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum.
David: Then some kings heard about the birth of Jesus and they came bearing gifts.
We three Kings (Sang by Salty, Quarterback and Crystal Wave):
We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain Gold I bring to crown Him again King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to Thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity nigh Prayer and praising, all men raising Worship Him, God most high
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to Thy perfect light
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes of life of gathering gloom Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to Thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise King and God and Sacrifice Alleluia, Alleluia Earth to heav'n replies
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to Thy perfect light

David: And so we remember every Christmas that Jesus came to earth to die for our sins. Unfortunately like Bethlehem and Jerusalem not many will greet him. Me, Danny, Megan, Molly and our kids want to leave you with this song. Its called "While you were sleeping". Enjoy
While you were sleeping:
Oh little town of Bethlehem Looks like another silent night Above your deep and dreamless sleep A giant star lights up the sky And while you're lying in the dark There shines an everlasting light For the King has left His throne And is sleeping in a manger tonight
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping For God became a man And stepped into your world today Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history As a city with no room for its King While you were sleeping While you were sleeping
Oh little town of Jerusalem Looks like another silent night The Father gave His only Son The Way, the Truth, the Life had come But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today Jerusalem, you will go down in history As a city with no room for its King While you were sleeping While you were sleeping
United States of America Looks like another silent night As we're sung to sleep by philosophies That save the trees and kill the children And while we're lying in the dark There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky For the Bridegroom has returned And has carried His bride away in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping Will Jesus come again And leave us slumbering where we lay America, will we go down in history As a nation with no room for its King Will we be sleeping Will we be sleeping
United States of America Looks like another silent night.
David: Bow your heads please. Yes thank you Lord that we do have a savior who died on a cross for our sins. Lord let us not forget what Christmas truly means. Lord thank you for the gift you gave Minty this night and show her to not be afraid of being a mother. We thank you for our friend Minty. Now bless us as we leave here tonight and go to our homes. And everyone said...
Everyone: Amen.
David: Guys we gotta get this little one to the hospital so she can be checked over to make sure she'll be fine. But you are more than welcome to come with us. *Applejack comes up frantic* Applejack what's wrong buddy?
Applejack: Its Apple Bloom. After she went to take her costume off she collapsed.
David: I knew she wasn't feeling well. Let's go check on her. *They go near the dressing room and Scoot-a-loo and Sweetie Belle are standing there sobbing* Its gonna be okay girls. *Goes up to her* Apple Bloom its your buddy David. Can you hear me? *Feels her head* She's awfully warm. Girls can you calm down so I can ask you a question? *They nod* Was she doing anything before she collapsed?
Scoot-a-loo: She was holding her stomach. She told us to get Applejack and when we returned with Applejack she was unconscious.
David: Where at Scoot-a-loo?
Scoot-a-loo: Right here. *Pointing to her right side*
David: We need to get her to the hospital. *Rudolph comes in*
Rudolph: Can I help?
David: Sure. *Puts Apple Bloom on his back* Rudolph with your nose so bright can you take Apple Bloom to the hospital tonight?
Rudolph: Sure.
David: We'll get Minty ready and meet you there.

On the way to the hospital Rudolph is extra careful so he doesn't hurt Apple Bloom Rudolph: Apple Bloom you stay with old Rudolph you hear me kid? Don't go dying on me. *She moans* Apple Bloom: *Still unconscious* My stomach hurts. *Throws up and she cries* Rudolph: Don't you worry little pony. I'll get you there. Meanwhile the others load Minty into a carriage David: To the hospital. Santa: Let's go guys. Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen. On Comet, On Cupid, On Donner an Blitzen. *They all head to the hospital and they arrive and Rudolph is waiting outside with a sad face* David: Rudolph buddy what's wrong? *A tear trickles down his eye* Oh. Rudolph she'll be okay. Rudolph: She's like a fellow misfit. *Starts crying* I know what it feels like to be picked on for being different. *Diamond Tiara comes up and hugs him* Thanks. What's your name? Santa: Diamond Tiara. A little pony who picked on the cutie mark crusaders for not having talents. You used to be on my naughty list. Then I saw something a couple of years back. She apologized. Diamond Tiara: Yes I did. Am I still on the naughty list? Santa: After the act of kindness you just shown and you've been showing? Nope. Even that little mistake awhile back. *A nurse comes out and wheels Minty into a room* Nurse: We'll see how the baby is and weigh her. And as for your friend she's very lucky. Her appendix did burst but it hasn't been very long. I heard someone was very careful bringing her here. Good job Rudolph. Can I ask you something though? I've heard the story but want to see it for myself. Rudolph: Of course. *His nose lights up* Nurse: Well I'll be. It does glow. Minty said as soon as her baby is in her room she wanted to see her close friend Rudolph first.
