>It's Hearts and Hooves Day again! >You can't wait to finish making this card for the best teacher in the whole world, Ms. Cheerilee. >If only there were a nice stallion to give such a wonderful card to her. You really hope she has better luck this year... >Just have to wait for Scootaloo and Applebloom to get back from Anonymous's house. >Right on cue the two barge into the clubhouse with happy grins on their faces. >"Sweetie Belle, we're back!" Great! Did you get the glue? >"Even better, Mr. Anon gave us Krazy Glue! He says it drahs' Krazy Fast!" Then what are we waiting for, let's get to work! >Cutting out a giant heart from paper that is too large to feasibly exist, you randomly throw glue, glitter, paint, and ribbons on it. >Then you step on it a few times, for good measure. >When you're finished, the product is a giant, perfectly crafted heart card! We did it! >"Nice job, girls!" >"We really outdone ourselves this tahm!" >Excited at the thought of Ms. Cheerilees face when you give her this super duper card, you lean over and give Scootaloo a high-hoof. >"YEAH!" >... Uh-oh... >"Whut's wrong?" >"Our hooves are stuck!" >Watching us try to pull our hooves apart, Applebloom facehoofs. >...Then flips herself forward trying to remove said hoof from said face. >"...Ah think we need help..."   >Be miserable, lonely, pathetic Anon. >It's hearts and hooves day, and because you're the strange, gangly monkey, you are of course single. >To make matters worse, you saw 2 of those CMC Fillies earlier looking for some glue to make a card. >Being the nice beta guy you are, you loaned them some Krazy glue you had from back home. >Although they were quite thankful, the little hick one took a shot at you before they left. >"Wha' don't you have a very special somepony, Mr. Anon?" >At these words, you felt a frown form on your face. >As well as some strange lines on your forehead. Because... >Why didn't you have a very special somepony, Anon? >As you looked back down, you saw that they had already run off. >Wow, bitch material in the making. >So you took to strolling around town, watching all the happy pones make kissy faces at eachother, and humming dust in the wind. >While on your stroll, you are suddenly accosted by the same Fillies from before, plus the cute white one. >"Mr. Anon, we need help!" >"Yeah, this glue you gave us worked too well!" >You see that the redneck has her hoof attached to her forehead, and the other two have their hooves stuck together. >Gay. Well, what do you expect me to do about it? >You feel a bit bad for being mean, but you really don't want to deal with these youngins right now. >"Well, maybe we can figure out a way to get unstuck if we know what it's made of!" >The little white one chirps.   >... >Yeah, you're doing it. It's made of horse hide. >It's not, but they don't need to know that. >"Horse Hahd?" >"What's that?" Horse skin. Also, ground up horses hooves. >They keep their inquisitive looks for all of 5 seconds, before the color drains from their faces. >"H-h-hor-" Horse skin. And hooves. That was removed from a dead horse. That was killed by humans for the purpose of making glue. >Their eyes can't get much wider, but their pupils are pinpricks. >The hillbilly is the first to react. >"AAAAAAAH AH AH AAAAAAAH!" >She starts running in a circle, violently trying to tear her hoof from her forhead. >Soon the other two join in. >"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" >"AAAAAAHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" >As you watch on in guilty amusement, the white and orange ones accidentally clothesline the yellow one. >She hits the ground with a thud after a satisfying backflip, knocked the fuck out. >As the two conscious fillies continue to run around screaming, you're approached by a purple mare with flowers on her flanks. >"And just what is going on here?" >Standing beside you, she looks on with a face of equal parts concern, amusement, and weariness. Nothing serious, just a little prank. >Looking down at her, you smile. I'm Anon. >She smiles back up at you. >"Cheerilee." >Maybe this day won't be so lonely after all.
