Pinkie never really considered herself to be beautiful. At least, not until Sombra told her so.

But, when she still doubts her own worth, she looks to Sombra for consolation and asks for something that just might tip the balance of how things are between the reformer and the reformee.

Takes place between chapters Four and Five of The Not-So-Normal Adventures of King Sombra and Pinkie Pie.

Sombra wants to sleep. He really does. But he can't. Why? Because he's lonely.

Hearts and Hooves Day; a holiday reserved for ponies to express their love for another, whether it be with a bouquet a of roses or just a simple box of chocolates. However, for the former King of the Crystal Empire, it's only a source of annoyance and rage.

But, for Pinkie Pie(who has been tasked to reform Sombra), it's a way for her to finally show just how much she loves to make everypony happy. Will Pinkie be able to pull Sombra out of his hate for the holiday?

This story is a sequel to The Cake Batter Incident

After being revived by his dark magic, Sombra finds himself in Ponyville, under the care of Pinkie Pie, his assigned reformer. However, with a strange voice in the back of his head and Pinkie's odd allure, Sombra finds himself feeling something that hasn't been felt over a thousand years...

Will he be able to overcome the trials that come with being Pinkie's "friend"? And how will he prepare for what's to come?

While Pinkie is walking around Ponyville with Sombra, who she is tasked to watch over until he is reformed, she sees a pony has recently moved into Ponyville without her previous knowledge.
