//------------------------------// // Heart Worthy part 1 // Story: Silver Hearts // by The Crazed Werewolf //------------------------------// "ARRRGHH!" Flurry Heart said as she put her saddle bags down causing both Silver Spoon and Scootaloo to look up from their books. "Colts are so frustrating!" Flurry said after moment. "Are we speaking about colts in general or is there a specific colt that has earned your ire?" Scootaloo asked breaking the awkward silence. "Pound Cake." Flurry said. "Why don't you wait until I have finished helping Scootaloo with her homework and then tell me all about it." Silver Spoon said to her younger friend. "Oh, no! I want to hear this! Besides Pound is one cute colt!" Scootaloo said which caused Silver Spoon to roll her eyes and caused Flurry Heart to giggle. "Uh, Scoots, Pound is a little young for you. Now what is the problem little sister?" Silver spoon asked. "Party pooper." Scootaloo said sticking out her tongue. Again Silver Spoon just sighed and rolled her eyes. "I've been waiting for him to ask to the Hearth's Warming Ball that Auntie Twily is hosting for all of Ponyville. I know he hasn't asked any filly yet because Pumpkin told me so." Flurry Heart said, "I know I could go with any colt, but I really want to go with him." Silver Spoon blinked. She had forgotten about the Hearth's Warming Ball, no one had asked her yet either. Scootaloo saw the look on Silver Spoon's face and choked down a chuckle. "And who is taking you Scootaloo?" both Silver Spoon and Flurry Heart said simultaneously. "I'm going with Snails." Scootaloo replied. "Whhaaat! I thought you and Rumble were a thing!" Silver Spoon exclaimed. "Yeah, we called it off two weeks ago. I mean Rumble is a great guy, but sometimes he can get a little bull headed." Scootaloo said, "Plus he tried to put the moves on Sweetie Belle." "Sorry Scoots, I didn't know." Silver Spoon said. "Silvy, you'd be surprised what you would learn if you took your nose out of your books every now and then." Scootaloo replied. "What do you mean by that?" Silver Spoon asked obviously confused. "Ahem, ladies as fascinating as I find this topic of discussion, what about my problem?" Flurry Heart said. "This isn't over." Silver Spoon said to Scootaloo before turning to Flurry Heart, " have you thought of asking him to the dance?" "Am I allowed to do that?" Flurry Heart asked. "Yes. And have you thought that maybe you intimidate him." Scootaloo added. "Why would I intimidate him?" Flurry asked no the confused one. "Well, you are beautiful, smart, witty, oh, and you are a princess!" Silver Spoon said. "But I don't intimidate you Silvy." Flurry Heart said. "Yeah, but remember I know you better then other ponies who aren't related to you. I did change your diapers remember." Silver Spoon said. Scootaloo tried to choke down a chuckle as she pictured a younger Silver Spoon trying to change a baby Flurry Heart's diaper. Flurry Heart turned a shade of pink reminiscent of her mother at the memory. "All joking aside," Silver Spoon said once Scootaloo had calmed down, "if you really want something, then you have to make it happen. A good example is Scoots here, for the longest time she couldn't fly, but once she recognized that she had a subconscious fear of heights she worked hard to overcome it." "I thought we promised never to bring that up again." Scootaloo said through clenched teeth. "I'm only using it an example dearie." Silver Spoon replied. She thought back to when she and Rainbow Dash had learned of Scootaloo's fear. Together they had help Scootaloo get over her fears and now Scootaloo was captain of the school buckball team. "So do I just approach him or do I surprise him?" Flurry Heart asked. "Surprise him! Don't give him time to think it over." Scootaloo said. "I would just walk up to him and ask, but you need to use the method that works best for you little sister." Silver Spoon answered. Flurry Heart thought it over. She was glad that she had someone like Silver Spoon in her life. Her Aunt Twilight wasn't the best person to talk to, she tended to over analyze things. "Don't mind me." a voice said from the door to the parlor. The three ponies turned and looked. Silver Spoon's face lit up with excitement. "Tavi! What are you doing here? I thought you were living with Vinyl in Canterlot." Silver Spoon said. "Vinyl has a concert in Law Pegasus this week and I thought that it would be nice to see the family for Hearth's Warming. Didn't mother tell you? I wrote her a month ago." Octavia said to her younger sister, "So what are you girls discussing?" "We're trying to get both your sister and Flurry Heart dates for the Hearth's Warming Ball." Scootaloo answered. "Now this sounds like it could be fun." Octavia said, "Who are you wanting to go with?" "Pound Cake." Flurry Heart said. "I don't know." Silver Spoon said. "I see your problem Silvy. Flurry Heart, may I call you Flurry Heart or should I call Princess." Octavia said. "Flurry is fine." Flurry Heart said with a giggle I like Silvy's sister. "Have you tried asking Pound to the Ball?" Octavia said. "No I haven't." Flurry blushed, "I didn't think it was proper." "Proper? Propriety has nothing to do with it. If we all acted proper then I would be living her in this rather large house and not with my marefriend in Canterlot, which annoys Mother to no end." Octavia said causing Silver Spoon to giggle. Looking at her sister and her friends gave Octavia an idea. "Come on, lets go out to Sugarcube Corner, just us girls. My treat." Octavia said. "But we have school work to compl-," Silver Spoon started to say. "Its not due until the end of the week." Scootaloo interrupted closing both hers and Silver Spoons books. "I don't get a say in this do I." Silver Spoon said.
