This story is a sequel to Detention

As the springtime begins to bloom in Equestria, something else starts to stir in the hearts of ponies the world over. Hearts and Hooves Day is coming, and Soarin has a plan. With the school year finally over, he and Thunderlane finally have time to spend together as a couple, with their first steamy encounter in Miss Horsefeather's classroom now a fond, if awkward, memory.

To celebrate their newfound freedom and to assuage some nagging doubts about their relationship, Soarin vows to make this Hearts and Hooves Day the best one ever. The problem is, the best-laid plans of Ponykind often go awry...

A little trip to Canterlot is the kind of relaxation Thunderlane needs. One little incident introduces him to a guard that leads to a friendship and awkward feelings on the part of the small town pegasus. What do you do when you don't know what this feeling is? And why can't he stop staring at the guard's clothes?

Soarin and Shining Armor have always been good friends, but when a mission deep in the Griffon Kingdom goes wrong, Will there relationship ever be the same?
