//------------------------------// // A Fluffy Heart (Teen) // Story: Final Draft's Rough Drafts // by Final Draft //------------------------------// Hearts and Hooves Day comes once a year, and ponies celebrate, far and near by finding their very special somepony, and displaying their feelings for all to see. But on this day, not all rejoice; they would if they could, but have no choice. Changelings only know of love as food, and one queen in particular wasn’t in the mood to deal with a fluffy pony’s advances, constant gifts, and seductive glances. Every time Chrysalis tried to explain she found the task to be a royal pain. Flufflepuff was simple, and that was fine, but her interest in the changeling crossed a line. The Queen knew something was wrong when the pony drew pictures of her in a thong. Chrysalis didn’t know how to feel, but the pony’s love made an excellent meal. The feelings, though, she could never return; she’d said it before, but Flufflepuff didn’t learn. Then came the gifts; odd things, like socks, or the pony herself, wrapped up in a box. The gestures were nice, and it made the queen smile, but they were too frequent, and after a while, the showering of gifts had to end. It was killing her trying to pretend that she cared for the pink ball of fluff. So she made a stand, enough was enough. Chrysalis decided to make her stand on Hearts and Hooves Day, though it wasn’t planned. She was oblivious to the holiday Blah blah blah, rhyme with holiday.
