As I was pulled by the pony outside my house, I could see the pony's mane. It was pink... "Pinkie-" I managed to shout but was cut off. "Happy Birthday,Love!" The ponies exclaimed. I looked at them all, my jaw was hanging and I was just blinking in awe. "Do you like it, Love?" Pinkie asked me. I nodded. She smiled at me."Oh, By the way Love, your parents are here.".
I looked around and I eventually saw my parents. They were talking to my best friend, Rose Bud. She's an earth pony and She has a longtime crush on Tornado, a pegasus who has a crush on Rainbowdash. I didn't tell her about it though, it would break her heart if she knew now. Then I had a tingly feeling. I looked around. My eyes stopped on Scootalo. I used my magic to see which among the little colts she had her eye on....Hmm... SPIKE!! How could I have not noticied this at the library! I jotted this down on my notebook:

"So not good....
One thing I hate the most are love triangles. But I am glad that their not rivals... Hmm... I'll think about this. In the meantime I gotta go to my parents."

As I said, I hate love triangles. But how I got my cutiemark was because of a love triangle. When I was a filly,I loved singing and I loved reading books, but not just any books, they were about love and magic. I lived in Ponyville since I was a foal. I was one of the trendsetters of the school, and the student body president. But the day when I got my was the highlight of my school years but also the worst day of my school years. You see, two ponies named Light Bliss and Ann Fashion, had a crush on a colt named Galaxy. I planned everything perfectly. I asked their crush who he liked best among the two. Then I tried to comfort the pony whose feelings got hurt and everything went fine. Then I looked at my flank and saw my cutiemark! It was a heart decorated by little hearts and little notes. And from that day on I was the love guru of the school.But this was different. These were friends the others, rivals and that the object of their affection likes somepony else! This was really hard, but I didn't focus on that more. I focused on getting to my parents.

"Hey Love!" Rose Bud called.
"Hi Rose! Hi Mom! Hi Dad!" I replied.
"Well... Our daughter is really pretty, honey. I'm sure a few colts have their eye on her." my dad said. I blushed. But I couldn't really say if those colts were good enough for  me.
"Oh Samson! Don't embarrass her!" My mom insisted. Then they argued.
" By the way, Love, I saw a cute stallion staring at you awhile ago." Rose said. I rolled my eyes. I had more important issues at the moment. "Aww... Come on Love. It's your birthday. Try to relax and enjoy the party". I followed my best friend to the gift table. 
"Your presents." She said. I looked at the stack of gifts and smiled with glee. I couldn't belive it! It seems like everypony gave me gift today. That reminds me, I forgot to open the Cutiemark Crusaders gift. But I can't open these now. 
"Wow!" I said with glee.
"Let's go to the refreshments table. You must be hungry." Rose bud suggested. I agreed. My dogs may have had lunch, but I didn't. Just then my stomach grumbled. My bestfriend laughed. "You really are hungry, Love."

**************************************************************
I was in my room with my pets. I sighed. I was wondering who would have the guts to come and ask me to the dance. The dance is two weeks from now. My parents were in my guest room, asleep. I looked down my window and saw Pinkie packing stuff and cleaning the place with some help from Rainbowdash, Applejack, Big Macintosh and a few others. I had opened my gifts once I was inside the house. One of them was really sweet. It was a teddy bear, some roses and chocolates. It was so romantic. It had a note tucked inside.

"Happy Birthday,Love!
Your Secret Admirer
P.S I really like you."

I had a secret admirer! I know I can spot the guy easily but, my magic doesn't work that way. I can never know who likes me. I was hugging the teddy bear and eating the chocolates while staring at the night sky. It was midnight now. I remembered that the party didn't end until eleven thirty PM. My dogs were playing together. Poor Cheeky though, he couldn't walk so well yet. The little guy would slide whenever he tried to run or walk. I hopped into bed and got a book given by Twilight. I practiced my magic for a change and every once in awhile I would play with my dogs. Then I thought about that little problem between the two Cutiemark Crusaders.

Soooo... Let's see. Applebloom and Scootalo likes Spike who likes Rarity who is older than him. This was harder than last time. I could do love guru on the newspaper easily. But this was different. I looked at the book Twilight had given me. I found something about some relaxation stuff so that I could sleep. So I went downstairs, got some lavender scented candles, thin cucumber slices, hot water, lemon juice and a towel. I lighted the lavender scented candles, placed a few drops of lemon juice and placed the towel on top of the bowl and put my face into the bowl. That was really relaxing. Before going to sleep I paced the cucumber slices on my eyes. I was going to sleep well tonight.
