Sorry about how behind this one is, I was having trouble getting in the mood to type while I processed the whole Twilight alicorn thing.
Ugh, it’s one of the worst times of the year today. Hearts and Hooves Day, I hate it so much! And not for any of those stupid problems of the lesser being. Not because I’m lonely or jealous of the couples. I hate it because first off the entire city is covered in pink hearts and there are flowers everywhere. I also have a problem with those hearts; they look nothing like real ones!
Another problem I have is the fact that the citizens are so lovey and cuddly ugh! At least Cadence and Shiny are keeping their relationship secret still so they aren’t a problem. Then Celestia has no one special so that keeps this romantic stuff far from home.
Well I’m going to head to my room where nothing is romance themed. I did pass Twilight and Cadence on the way to the stairs they were talking about something. I waved to them as I headed upstairs.
Twilight and Cadence were sitting near the stairs, Twilight was telling Cadence about the history of the holiday when Sean walked by. Cadence wasn’t very interested but she listened to be nice to Twilight. As Sean walked away Twilight turned back to Cadence.
Cadence turned to Twilight “So Twilight got anypony special this year?”
“There is one boy I have considered. But I don’t think he feels the same way.” Twilight was looking the staircase Sean had gone up looking a bit dreamy.
Does Twilight have a crush on… No that can’t be it. Cadence thought.
Cadence was walking up one of the towers to Princess Celestia’s study; she knew she would be there this time of day. The Princess always spent the hour before dinner in her study. She knocked on the door after a few seconds she heard Celestia tell her to come in.
Cadence opened the door and walked in. She was amazed at how the princess was able to keep her study so neat and tidy despite how often she was in here writing and reading. All the books were neatly tucked into the large bookshelves lined up in alphabetical order and by type. Celestia was sitting near the fireplace looking over some kind of scroll.
She looked up from it to look at Cadence. “Hello Cadence, what can I do for you?”
Cadence walked over to the fireplace and sat in front of the Princess. “I was hoping to ask you something about Sean.”
“What did he break this time?” Celestia sighed.
“Oh, nothing like that. I was wondering about his romantic life.”
Celestia let out a slight laugh. “Sean and romance have never even been acquainted. I think that when they were playing with his genetics they removed the romance part of his brain to fit more sarcasm.”
Cadence was surprised at how the princess reacted to her question. “So he has never had a very special somepony for Hearts and Hooves day?”
“Nope, he hates this holiday. One time he tried to get the ponies of Canterlot to sign a petition to ban it. As you can guess it didn’t work out.”
“Interesting,” Cadence put her hoof to her chin thinking.
“Why do you ask? Did he imply being interested in somepony?” The princess was looking at her intently.
“What? Oh no, he’s never said anything, especially not to me. I was just curious.” She got and walked out the door. Leaving behind a very confused Celestia.
Praise Bolas this horrid day is nearly over. However now is one of the worst parts of the day. At dinner Celestia makes us all exchange Hearts and Hooves day gifts. I have no problem with giving them gifts, the problem is the fact that they are always shaped like hearts and have disgusting poems on them.
When I walked into the dining hall everyone except Twilight and Spike were there. Blueblood was gone too. He stopped attending this dinner after I threatened to show him what a real heart looked like using his as the example.
So after Spike and Twilight showed up we decided to just give each other the gifts. They were all the generic sort of gifts. You know cards and candy, which is the only redeeming quality of this holiday the obscene amount of candy.
I was surprised by Twilight's gift. It was a large piece of chocolate in the shape of a dragon. It was way more awesome than what she got the others. For that I broke one of my personal rules. I intentionally gave a living being a hug. Twilight seemed pretty happy and a bit surprised at the hug. I figured she went to a lot of trouble to get this gift so it seemed appropriate.
The others were all looking at me in surprise. “What!?”
“Nothing!” They all said in unison and looked away.
After dinner I went to bed. Of course just as I was drifting off to sleep there was a knock at my door. I got up and opened the door. Cadence was standing there looking up at me.
“What do you want Cadence? It had better be something extremely important.”
“I just want to know something, what do you think of Twilight?”
“She’s one of the few ponies I can tolerate. If you want detail I would say I consider her to be like a little sister to me. Why do you ask?”
“Oh no reason.” Cadence turned and headed down the stairs.
I hate her so much right now. She woke me up to ask what I think of Twilight, seriously. Who does that!? That’s why she is not on the list of ponies I can tolerate.
