- "C'mon! Get up, sleepy head!"
- > I groan wearily in response.
- "Look outside! It's a beautiful day!"
- > I take a peek at my alarm clock.
- > "It's 4:00 AM. What the hell, Pinkie?"
- "And what better way to start the day than with a song!"
- > I quickly get up, but it's already too late.
- > The pink pony hops around the room and starts singing.
- "Happy-happy-happy-happy-happy day to you~"
- > Oh god, why?
- "Happy-happy-happy-happy-happy through and through~"
- > Not this again!
- "Happy-happy-happy-happy-happy day you're mine~"
- > I plant my palm upon my face.
- "Happy-happy-happy-happy-happy valentine~"
- > I'm really getting tired of... wait, what?
- > "Wait, what?" I say out loud this time.
- "Happy Valentine's Day!"
- > The pink pony shoves a large heart-shaped box into my hands.
- > "Huh? What is this?"
- "Open it! Open it! Open it!"
- > I open it and find it full of chocolates.
- > Despite myself, I can't help but smile.
- > "Thanks, Pinkie. But I didn't think that you liked me that way."
- "Of course I like you," she cries. "We're friends, aren't we?"
- > "Friends?" I repeat.
- "Yep! Best friends! In fact, I prepared one for everyp0ny in the building!"
- > "..."
- ---
- > I hear a knock at the door. I open it slowly.
- > "What's up, Twilight!"
- "Good morning. May I come inside? I have some concerns to discuss with you."
- > "Alright, I guess."
- > I hold the door open as the purple pony steps inside.
- "You see, I've been studying up on human holidays recently."
- > She narrows her eyes and gives me a sly smile.
- "Do you know what today is?"
- > I get a bad feeling. Let's play dumb for now.
- > "Of course! Today's Thursday!"
- "Well, that is true. But that isn't what I meant."
- > She takes a couple of steps closer.
- "Today's Valentines Day! And do you know what that means?"
- > I take a couple of steps back.
- "It means that it's time to give a special gift to your special somehuman~"
- > "R-Really? Well, isn't that something..."
- "And since you always take good care of us, I thought that I should express my thanks!"
- > Suddenly her horn starts glowing. Huh? I can't move!
- > She trots up to me and slowly opens my hands.
- "Wait till you try this! I'm sure that you'll learn to love it~"
- > "W-Wait! My heart is not ready for-"
- > I panic as she shoves something into my hands.
- > Wait, what? It's just a book.
- > "The History of Valentine's Day," I read aloud.
- "This is a great read! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!"
- > "..."
- ---
- "Thanks for joining me for breakfast! I just love your pancakes!"
- > "Anytime, Rainbow."
- > She takes another bite and smiles widely.
- "You are the BEST. HUMAN. EVER!"
- > I feel myself blush at her compliment.
- > "Quit joking! There are tons of folk who cook better than me!"
- "But it's not just the cooking!"
- > She quickly finishes her pancake before continuing.
- "You're reliable, trustworthy, and most importantly, loyal!"
- > "It's not like I don't enjoy spending my time with you."
- "What do you mean?"
- > "Well, You're always fun to hang out with, and I always feel comfortable around you!"
- "Oh, stop it!"
- > Both of us laugh as we knock our fists/hooves together.
- "Twilight said that today's some kind of lovey-dovey human holiday or something."
- > "Yeah. Valentine's day is completely over-rated, if you ask me."
- "I hear you! I can never take Heart and Hooves Day seriously, myself."
- > A moment of silence passes. She gives me the strangest smile.
- "But I thought that it would be fun to try things like this once in a while."
- > She pulls out a small gift wrapped in colorful paper.
- "Here you go! Just a little something to express my feelings for you~"
- > "Your feelings for me?"
- "Yeah, sure. Whatever."
- > My heart races a bit as I open the little present.
- > Inside is a little colorful wristband with her name printed on it.
- > "What is this for?"
- "Try it on! Try it on!"
- > I quickly put it on, confused.
- "It looks great! Now everyp0ny will know that you're with me now!"
- > "W-With you? Well, you are pretty cute and I like you too, b-but-"
- "Don't sweat it! I give these only to my best fans!"
- > "..."
- ---
- "How do you like it, darling?"
- > I glance at myself at the mirror and smile.
- > The suit she made fits surprisingly well this time.
- > "Not bad, Rarity. Though, this is a little too fancy for me."
- "Don't be silly! You look absolutely gorgeous in that!"
- > "Thanks, but I'm sure a lot of other guys would look better in this."
- "Perhaps. But I didn't make it for anyp0ny, or anyhuman, else."
- > She gives me the most dazzling smile.
- "I made it for you~"
- > "For me? But why would you go through so much trouble?"
- "Because I needed something to match this dress."
- > Her horn flashes brightly. I shield my eyes.
- > And in an instant she is wearing the most beautiful party dress.
- "I worked very hard to make these matching outfits, you know?"
- > She points at herself in the mirror. I gasp in surprise.
- > The dress perfectly accentuates her already beautiful human form.
- "We're a good match, don't you think?"
- > Before I can reply, she leans up beside me and giggles.
- "Just like apple pie~"
- > I feel myself blush as Rarity's tail brushes against my leg.
- > Am I reacting to both her human and pony forms now?
- "Happy Valentine's Day," she whispers.
- > "R-Rarity? I think this might be a really bad idea."
- "A bad idea? How so?"
- > "W-Well, I'm a human and you're a pony, and-"
- "Oh, don't be so pessimistic! This idea is sure to work!"
- > She raises her hoof dramatically.
- "Matching outfits, Rarity-style! Every couple in this city will surely love it~"
- > "..."
