After ten minutes of searching everywhere and getting greeted by Pinkie Pie, Sweet Heart gave up and Sweetie finally led them both in the right direction to her friends.
As they approached the clubhouse, Sweet Heart asked, "Woah, this is your friend's house?!"
Sweetie laughed and replied, "No. This is our clubhouse! My friend technically owns it, but she shares it with us."
"Wow! I always wanted my own clubhouse. How do you know if they're there or not?"
"They told me that after I'm done getting a gift for Spike, to come over and play," She explained.
They walked up the steps and Sweetie opened the door. "Hey, girls!"
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo turned and smiled. "Hey, Sweetie Belle!" They said in sync.
Sweetie Belle walked in. Following behind her was a hyper filly bouncing into the clubhouse.
"Who's your new friend?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Girls, this is Sweet Heart. Sweet Heart, these are my friends." Sweetie pointed to said friends.
"Hello, I'm Apple Bloom."
"And I'm Scootaloo."
"Hi, I'm Sweet Heart!"
"Sweet Heart is new in Ponyville. One, because she said so. And two, Pinkie's going to throw a party for her!"
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo rolled their eyes.
"Woah!"
"What?" Scootaloo asked.
"You all have the same Cutie Marks!"
The three smiled and hugged each other. "That's because we have the same destiny. To help others find their special talent!" Apple Bloom explained.
"Wow, so cool!"
"So what's happening here, girls?" Sweetie asked. "What should we do today?"
"Well..." Apple Bloom looked at their clock. "It's only twelve. Sweetie has to go see Spike at two, so we can play a bit." Apple Bloom explained.
Sweet Heart gasped. "I know the perfect game we could play!"
"So much for perfect..."
They all walked out of the Everfree forest. The four were covered in swamp slime, with wood chips in their manes, and Rarity would faint if she saw their coats.
"How about we go wash up back at my place, then we go to the park," Scootaloo suggested.
Her companions nodded, one giving a sheepish smile.
After they washed up at Scootaloo's home. They were all riding on a wagon being pulled by Scootaloo and her scooter.
"So..." Apple Bloom started, wanting to start a conversation. "You're new here?"
"Yup! Me, my parents, and grandma moved here. We didn't have enough food where we're from." Sweet Heart replied after chewing on a granola bar.
"Where are ya from?"
"From, *Bite* the badlands. Or whatever you call it here."
"...WHAT?!" The CMC screamed. Scootaloo stopped the scooter with a screech.
"The badlands. You mean the badlands?"
After Sweet Heart swallowed her bite, she started to explain. "We didn't have enough food like I said. We moved here for better life. Why do you two look like that?"
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle looked frightened.
Scootaloo had a smirk. "If you're from the badlands you must be very tough."
"Not really."
"But you survived! You must have some guts!"
Sweet Heart shrugged. "It was no sweat, but I'm not gonna say I wasn't worried."
"That's still awesome in my book. I can't wait to tell Rainbow Dash about this!" Scootaloo started to pull the wagon again by riding her scooter.
"Who's Rainbow Dash?"
"Just the most awesome pony ever!"
The other two rolled their eyes.
"You'll get used to it." Sweetie said.
Sweet Heart had a smile on her face, but as soon as her new friends weren't looking, that smile turned upside down.
They soon arrived at the park, and the fillies and colts took notice, all smiling when doing so.
"Hey, who's the new kid?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Her name's Sweet Heart and she's new to Ponyville."
"Cool! Hey, we're going to play some stallionhunt, wanna play?" A colt by the name of Rumble asked.
"Sure! Let's go!"
"Lastonetothetopoftheslideisit!" Scootaloo ran to the park.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle ran past Sweet Heart after taking off their helmets.
Sweet Heart, who didn't react fast enough, yelled, "Hey! No fair!"
After two hours of playing, Sweetie said goodbye to her friends. She found out that Sweet Heart was going to walk in the same direction so they stood together. After some more minutes of walking, Sweet Heart said goodbye to Sweetie Belle and headed off in her own way. Sweetie continued on to the Friendship Castle with her Hearts And Hooves day card in hoof.
She soon arrived and stepped into the castle. She said hello to Twilight and asked her where Spike was. Twilight giggled and told her that he was in his room.
Now Sweetie Belle was outside Spike's room in front of his door. She knocked and heard a shout from inside.
"Come in!"
And Sweetie did just that. "Hi, Spike! Happy Hearts And Hooves day!"
"Oh! Hey, Sweetie! Happy Hearts And Hooves day to you too." Spike put down the Power Ponies comic he was reading and hopped off his bed.
They walked up to each other and hugged.
"I've got something for you." Sweetie said when they released each other. She held out the card she made for Spike. It was in a red envelope.
Spike took the card.
"Open it!" She said happily.
He used his sharp claw to tear the top of the envelope. He pulled the card out and threw the envelope on the ground. Once he opened the card, he grew a big smile.
"You like it?" Sweetie asked with a blush while rubbing her left leg.
The card was pink. Inside was a beautifully drawn purple and green dragon hugging a white unicorn filly inside a glittered heart."Like it? I love it! Thank you, Sweets!" He leaned in and kissed Sweetie Belle on the lips.
Sweetie was taken aback by this but melted into the kiss otherwise.
Their kiss was short-lived when they heard a familiar voice.
"Awww..."
Spike blushed madly was yelled, "Twilight!"
Twilight giggled. "I didn't mean to interrupt sorry but that was so cute," She said with a warm smile.
"You can knock next time!" Sweetie and Spike both stood there flushing.
"I just came to tell you both that there's going to be a Hearts And Hooves slash "New Pony" party tonight at this little filly's house.
"Oh! It's Sweet Heart's family's party. She's my new friend."
"Really? I have to meet her." Spike said.
"Well, I'm going to go do... some princessy stuff. You two have fun!"
Spike and Sweetie waved goodbye.
"So what do you want to do?" Sweetie asked.
"I'm going to treat my little princess to a treat at Sugarcube Corner."
Sweetie beamed. "Really?"
"Yeah. I was going to do this anyways, but now I owe you big time!" Spike held up the card.
"Okay! Let's go."
Spike put his card on his nightstand and went with Sweetie out the castle.
After a couple of minutes of walking, a plastic arrow came whirling in the air and hit the back of Spike's head. It didn't hurt him but Spike still noticed.
"Hey!" He and Sweetie looked back. Spike didn't see anything but Sweetie took notice of a bush rustling. She decided to ignore it and they began to walk forward again.
After a few more minutes, another plastic arrow came flying in aimed at Spike's head. This time, however, Spike caught the arrow without looking back. He dropped the arrow and yelled, "Who's there?"
He received no answer and Sweetie motioned to keep walking.
Again, after a few minutes, an arrow came flying in.
Spike didn't bother with the arrow and instead focused his magic on the pony who was hiding behind the bushes nearby.
Out flew a brown colt who Sweetie knew as Button Mash. He was wearing a white shirt with an orange collar and had a blue sword in his hoof that looked pixelated.
"Button Maash!" Sweetie whined.
"Hi," *Grunt* "Sweetie!" He tried to escape Spike's hold.
"What are you doing?" Spike asked.
"The ancient scrolls told me that to have one of my own, I must smite the possessor."
Spike was confused. He scratched his head. "And... what does that mean?" He whispered to Sweetie Belle.
"Too much video games." Sweetie deadpanned.
Spike gently dropped Button to the ground. "I don't know what's up, but we'll be on our way." With that, Spike and Sweetie continued off.
"Wait!"
Spike turned around. Sweetie rolled her eyes.
"We didn't fight yet."
The dragon raised an eyebrow. "Is he serious?" He asked Sweetie Belle.
"Yup." She deadpanned yet again.
"If I defeat you, you have to hand over Sweetie Belle."
Sweetie Belle growled quietly.
"Uhh..." Spike didn't know how to react.
Without warning, Button ran towards Spike with his "weapon" in his mouth. He started to strike at Spike.
All of his attacks hit, he was winning, he was drawing him into the corner.
Spike was getting hit, he was losing his speed, he was... not moving.
Button stopped and looked at the confused form of Spike.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh! So this is one of those fights where you have to weaken the opponent first. Umm... Prince Spike, what's your weak point?" He mumbled with the sword in his mouth.
Spike just grew more confused and scratched his head again.
Button placed his sword down. "Pleease. I don't want to search it up."
Sweetie sighed and asked. "Button, even if you do manage to defeat Spike, and I one-trillion percent doubt that you can, I still won't be your fillyfriend, no offense. In fact, I'll just hate you." She scolded.
Button gasped. "You put a mind control spell on her? You fiend!"
Sweetie sighed and whispered into Spike's ear.
Spike nodded happily and with a snap, Button was gone in a green flash.
"Where did you send him?"
"To 'jail'," Spike said with a smirk.
Sweetie grew wide-eyed.
"School," He informed.
A faint screaming of torment could be heard.
"Oh, okay. Let's just go and forget what happened here."
After a couple more minutes of no interruptions. They finally arrived at Sugarcube Corner.
They stepped into the building and Pinkie welcomed them with a warm smile.
"It's on me," Spike said.
"Aww..."
Spike growled and Sweetie blushed.
They sat down at their table and began to eat once their food arrived.
They ate and had a friendly conversation about school and life. Then Sweetie said something that made a shiver run down Spike's spine.
"Pinkie said that the party ends before seven. I'll show you to my parents after it."
Spike stopped himself from taking a bite out of his sundae and looked nervous.
"Spike? Something wrong?"
"D-Did you ever think that... there's a possibility that your parent's... wouldn't like me?" He asked.
Sweetie blinked, then snickered, then started to laugh. "That was a good one Spike! Haha!"
Spike just sat there and frowned.
