Continuing the Dream

Hearts and Hooves Day Surprise

Author's Note: Hey everybody. Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you all get to spend this day with your special someone. I personally don't have a special someone, so I'm going to go find a corner to cry in. But don't let my loneliness stop you from enjoying the newest chapter of my story.

A few weeks had passed and I had returned to my job on the weather team, hanging with Dash and Sunny and doing my job like nothing had ever happened. Speaking of not much happening, that's how it was like the past few weeks. Well, except that one thing that Pinkie Pie did, but the mayor made everypony promise to not talk about that.

I was waking up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock once again. "You know what? Buck it." I say. I take my foreleg and repeatedly slam it down on the clock, causing it to break and pieces to fly out. "There. Much better."

The day wasn't starting off well, but I wasn't going to let that get me down. Why? Because it was the day before Hearts and Hooves Day. And why am I happy about that, you may ask. Because I had bought two tickets to a Wonderbolts show that was happening tomorrow. I was planning to ask Dash if she'd like to go with me. For those who don't know, Dash and I aren't a couple yet, so I'm using this as an oppurtunity to change that. The tickets cost me a leg and a wing, but it's all gonna be worth it if Dash says yes. I even have a little something special planned during the show.

After getting out of bed and cleaning up the broken clock parts, I make myself a chimicherrychonga breakfast(it's great for any meal), get ready, and head off to work.

Several hours later

I was punching out for work, having had to take care of some passing storm clouds from the Everfree Forest(I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I WILL figure out how you work!), when I saw Dash about to leave.

"Hey, Dash?" I ask her.

"Yeah, Blue?"

"I actually bought some tickets to a Wonderbolts show going on tomorrow, and I heard you were a big fan of them, so I was wondering: would you like to go with me?"

"Are you seious?! I'd love to go!" she stops and looks at me suspiciously. "Wait, Hearts and Hooves Day is tomorrow. Are you asking me out on a date?"

I quickly try to think up an answer. I got it! "It's only a date if you want it to be."

"Hmm, okay, I'll go. Pick me up at my house tomorrow. I live in a cloud house above Ponyville."

So that's who lives up there. That's awesome. "Sounds good. See you then."

"Alright, later." she says heading out.

I still stand there with a big grin on my face. Phase one complete.

Sunny looks over at me suspiciously. "You totally like her, don't you?" she asks me.

"Well, yeah. Wish me luck on the date." I then head out of the building.

"Good luck!" I hear Sunny shout.

The next day

It was late in the morning, about two hours before the Wonderbolts show. I was heading out to town square to buy some flowers to surprise Dash with during the show. No. That's not the big surprise. I see a flower stand with three earth mares standing behind it. One is cream colored, one is light magenta, and one is pink.

"Hey there, ladies." I say to them nonchalantly. Swag!

"Hello, how may we help you?" the pink one asks me.

"Well, I've got a date, and I wanted to by her some flowers."

"Oh, how sweet." they say in unison. What's up with ponies saying things in unison?

"Yeah, so do you girls have any recommendations?"

They all beam at my question. Uh oh. "You should get her some roses!" the cream one shouts.

"No! Daisies!" the magenta one says.

"Lilies!" the pink one says.

"Roses!"

"Daisies!"

"Lilies!"

"Girls!" I shout. They immediately quiet down. "I have an idea. I'll buy a bouquet with four of each. Roses, daisies, and lilies."

"That's a great idea." they all say. Again, what's up with that?

They quickly create a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me and give it to me. I take the flowers and put them in my saddlebag. "Thanks. How much are they?"

"Ten bits."

"Alright." I take out the money and leave it on the stand. "I'm Blue Breeze, by the way."

"Rose."

"Daisy."

"Lily."

I should have known. "Well, thanks a lot for the flowers." I start flying away, heading for Dash's house.

"Good luck on your date!" the flower trio shouts. Flower trio. I gotta remember that one.

I easily spot Dash's cloud house and make my way over to it. I land and knock at the door.

The door opens to an excited Rainbow Dash. "Hey, Blue. You ready for this?"

"Sure am. I've never really been to a Wonderbolts show before."

"Oh, man. You're in for a GREAT show!

"I'm sure I am." I say, thinking about the surprise I have waiting for Dash.

We shortly arrive in Cloudsdale at the Cloudoseum. Yeah. That's what they named it. We quickly run in and take our seats.

"FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS! A HAPPY HEARTS AND HOOVES DAY TO YOU ALL!" the announcer shouts. "ARE YOU ALL READY FOR A SHOW?!" the crowd starts going wild with cheers. " THEN, MAY I PRESENT TO YOU, THE WONDERBOLTS!" The Wonderbolts then come sky-rocketing overhead, leaving a smoke trail behind them.

The air ponies begin to put on an amazing show filled with flips, spins, dives, and barrel rolls.

"Man, this is amazing!" Dash shouts.

"It sure is!" I reply.

After some time, the Wonderbolts start getting ready to prepare for their grand finale. This is the moment I was waiting for. They begin zipping around, writing something in the air. The message read:

"Rainbow Dash,

Do you want to be my marefriend?

-Blue Breeze."

That's right. After weeks of saving up my bits, I paid to have thw Wonderbolts right that message for me. How much was it? Let's just say, I'm nearly broke after that.

Rainbow Dash turns to look at me, a shocked expression on her face. I brought out the flowers when she hadn't been looking. "Well, what do you say?" I happily ask her.

She smiles at me, tears of joy in her eyes. She silently nods and wraps her forelegs around me. I put the flowers down and return the hug. We break the hug and look into each other's eyes for a few moments before kissing one another. The crowd goes wild with applause.

"EVERYPONY! GIVE IT UP FOR THE HAPPY COUPLE!" the announcer shouts.

BEST BUCKING DAY EVER!
