//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Applebloom's crush! // Story: Oh! For Love's sake! // by Love Checker //------------------------------// I looked at my reflection in the mirror which Rarity gave to me. Let me introduce myself, I'm Love, Love Checker. I'm a unicorn. I'm a friend of the Elements of Harmony ponies. Anyway the Hearth's Warming Dance is coming. Yesterday afternoon I went to the library to borrow a book and ask Twilight if she had a date to the party. "I don't have a date.. Anyway none of us do." She answered "I mean, I don't mind if I don't have a date...". I heard her sigh heavily telling me she Did mind. I asked the others too.these were their answers: Rarity- same as Twilight. Fluttershy- same as Twilight. Pinkiepie- smiling from ear to ear. Applejack- didn't mind the dance. Rainbowdash- talked about a long lost friend. It seemed like Pinkie was the only pony who found a date. After all, she is a social butterfly. I looked down at the book I was reading. It was about a young pony looking for a date for the town dance. Yeah.. She has the the same problem as me, I thought. I was finishing it up when somepony called my name. "Love! Get your flank down here!" it called. "Rainbow" I muttered. She's always like this. She knows that I'm reading a book at this time of day. "Coming!" I called, finishing my book before I came down. "What took you so long?" She questioned me. "What do you expect?" I replied with a smile "I was reading". I showed her the book. "Not those sappy stuff again!" She said and then made a face. I laughed. "Sooo... Why are you here anyway?". "Oh! Right, Twilight has something for you at the library." the blue pegasus told me. "I'll race ya there!" I replied She flew while I ran. We finally reached the library with Rainbowdash as the winner of the race. We went inside the library looking for Twilight, who was nowhere to be found. Rainbowdash then said goodbye racing to the door, which left me in the library. As I looked around, I saw the Cutiemark Crusaders reading a book. I smiled at the three girls, they smiled back. I looked around once more. No sign of Twilight, but Spike was there. "Hey Love!" Spike called from the desk. I waved to him and trotted towards him. "Hi Spike." I replied and waved a book in front of him "here's the book I borrowed last week, I still haven't finished the other one." "By the way,Love, Twilight has something for you." He said and got of the chair looking for something. "Ahhh... Here it is." He gave me a pink box with a blue ribbon. "Wow... What's inside?" I asked him. He shrugged and went to shelve some books.As he left, I opened the box. There were books in there, but just not ordinary kinds of books, they were about magic,love and alot more I wasn't quite sure of! I also saw a guidebook about Equestria and a notebook. There was a note inside. It said "Happy Birthday! From Twilight". I looked at the calendar. Sure enough, I saw a circle on the calendar ,which was today , which said "Love's Birthday". I smiled with glee. It was my birthday! I looked outside the window. None of Twilight's bestfriends were there, neither was Twilight. I went to a desk to see the books Twilight got me. Then I noticed something. I looked around the library, and my eyes were on Applebloom. She was staring at Spike dreamily. Then I turned my eyes on Spike. He was shelving some books, so he didn't notice Applebloom staring at him at all. I got the notebook Twilight had given to me and wrote: "Love Time! Applebloom likes Spike.Squee! This is gonna be good! Problem: Spike likes Rarity who is way older then Spike. Solution: Still working on it." I looked at what I wrote. This is really a tuffie, I thought. Since when did Applebloom like Spike? I used my magic to know. She's been crushing on Spike for one month and two weeks! Wow! She really has a huge crush on Spike. I just gotta get them together. Maybe not now, maybe tomorrow. I trotted over to the three fillys. "Hi girls!" I said. "Oh! Hi Love" Sweetie Belle and Scootalo said in unsion while Applebloom was still staring at Spike. "What happened to her?" I asked them, even though I already knew. "She has a crush!" Sweetie whispered into my ear. "Oh really?" I replied. "Don't act like you don't know, Love!" Scootalo exclaimed. Spike shushed at Scootalo. Scootalo shrugged and continued reading. Me and Sweetie Belle giggled at her. "Oh! By the way here's you're birthday gift Love." Sweetie Belle gave me a box " We were supposed to give it to you later.". ************************************************************ I was back at my house preparing lunch for me and my dogs. I was still wondering if the stallion of my dreams would sweep me of my hooves and Applebloom's crush on Spike. My dogs barked and barked for their food. Cheeky,my one month old pup, licked my hooves while Ava, my three month old pup, barked for food. Now Cheeky wasn't hard to feed since he only drinks milk but Ava was a little harder. I had to put her dog food in her bowl put some water in it and wait for about ten minutes for it to cool down. Well, preparing it wasn't hard at all, but giving it is! She jumps whenever she sees her food. Thank goodness I have magic back again. You see a month ago, my horn wouldn't give out any magic at all! So I had to give it to her without magic, which was pretty hard. I had my magic back only a week ago. Ten minutes passed, and I gave Ava her food, got Cheeky's milk bottle and fed him. I sighed. They were pretty hard to take care of. Then somepony grabbed me.
