It's a cold New Year's Eve, but everyone is keeping warm at Sugar Cube Corner's New Year's Party. Of course, it would be better if Spike could get up the nerve to ask Rarity for a New Year's Kiss.
It’s Hearts and Hooves Day, and Spike is going on his first date with Rarity. He has a perfect day planned for his perfect mare, so why is something bothering her?
Two months into Rarity's relationship with Spike, he's grown distant and unhappy. Fearing that he's no longer attracted to her, will she resort to drastic measures to become what he desires? And how will he react if she does?
A slightly older Spike helps Rarity design a few new dresses, and she lets him know that she feels he is ready for a relationship. However, a comically timed mishap forces him to choose between his desires and his duty to Twilight.
