Know your Mare

Special: Hearts and Hooves.

...Sunset...?

No, Pip, I don't have a Hearts and Hooves date today. No, I'm not looking for one. And, no, I don't want some silly sentiments of how you'll be my date and yadda-yadda. Really? It's not that big a holiday. I don't want some sappy emotions on a day that never really means anything except trying to impress people with bouts of conviction or the sort. So, please Pip, don't bother me about this. Alright? For once, just... Don't.

I... I wasn't gonna say anything like that, Sunset...

Then humor me, what were you going to say?

...How do you take it when you get rejected by the pony you asked out?

...Oh... Well... I suppose... You... Just don't. You don't have to take rejection; ever. If you do get rejected... You just turn yourself around and dart onto something else. You never have to let the rejection get to you... I really don't know what I'm saying here. But...

Sunset...?

Yeah? What is it?

Can I be your Special Somepony?

...Yeah... I guess you can...


...Wanna cuddle?

You want to stay on your side of the bed before I call the guards?
