Belly Blinker
[In Pudgyville...]
"Now that the holidays are over, what do I do with these lights? I don?t want to sell them and then need them later on. I know, I?ll wrap them around myself. Everyone here will love it," thought Twinkle Blink before doing so and heading outside.
"Is that a pony?" asked Truffle.
"It looks like one but with all those flashing lights I can?t tell," agreed Mocha.
"Hi, I?m Twinkle Blink," called Twinkle Blink.
"Why do you have flashing lights around your body?" asked Galapeno.
"I thought it was a fun idea. I like to go in style and this is the way I do it," explained Twinkle Blink.
"Well that?s certainly a unique style," giggled Mocha.
"Warm too," agreed Twinkle Blink.
"You?re like a Pudgemas tree," added Truffle.
"Yeah, I guess I am," realized Twinkle Blink.
"Nice use of your belly button for one of the lights," noted Ms. Sheila. *Twinkle Blink looks down*
"Oh I didn?t even realize it was there, though I suppose I should?ve," admitted Twinkle Blink.
"Where?d you get all those lights?" asked Mocha.
"Where I used to live, we had a giant green tree that we decorated each year," replied Twinkle Blink.
"That?s what we do on Muffin Top Day," said Ms. Sheila.
"What?s that?" asked Twinkle Blink.
"It?s the one time of year we honor St. Pudgemas, a pony that tried delivering gifts but got stuck in a chimney and we decorate our bellies with glitter and paint and give gifts to everyone," elaborated Ms. Sheila.
"Does St. Pudgemas pay a visit?" asked Twinkle Blink.
"She visits on December 25th each year but doesn?t go down the chimney anymore," nodded Ms. Sheila.
"I?d love to meet her," replied Twinkle Blink.
"Just be outside that day and you will. For now, I?m not sure it?s a good idea to have all those lights around you all the time," continued Ms. Sheila.
"I love these lights though. They?re my favorite, especially at night," protested Twinkle Blink.
"Yes but since they?re dragging on the ground, ponies can trip over them and you?ll fall too," added Ms. Sheila.
"Oh yeah, you?re right. Can you all help me get them off?" requested Twinkle Blink.
"You?ve wound yourself good but we?ll do our best," assured Galapeno as the group gather around.
"Hold still," added Ms. Sheila as the light strands are carefully unwound. [20 minutes later...]
"There, that?s all of them. Perhaps we can decorate our tree with them on Muffin Top Day or maybe they?re better suited for your house?" suggested Ms. Sheila.
"Yeah, good idea. My house will look pretty with them," agreed Twinkle Blink.
"If you like to have your body pierced, see Darling Diamond about it. I?m sure she can make a flashing light bulb one for your belly button," stated Mocha.
"Thanks so much. I?ll go see her right now," concluded Twinkle Blink before walking away.
"Talk about brightening up our day," remarked Truffle.
"She seemed very nice," added Galapeno.
"Luckily, she already has a house here. She?s been here a week but never came out, probably due to deciding how to come out of the house," said Ms. Sheila.
"So that?s why we were seeing flashing lights coming from that house. She was setting up her pile of lights," concluded Mocha.
"Exactly, and speaking of which, here she comes," replied Ms. Sheila.
"You got a belly button piercing, how cute," reacted Mocha.
"Yeah, and it fits right in there too," replied Twinkle Blink.
"Now we?ll see you coming any time of day," said Galapeno.
"It?s a nice way to show the world something you love," said Eduardo.
"I call it Jiggle Jewelry," said Darling Diamond coming over.
"That?s a name we can all live by," thought Mocha.
