//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 - Cheerilee // Story: The Many Loves of Chrysalis P0n-3 // by Chrysalis P0n-3 //------------------------------// Cheerilee looked up and saw an ever familiar changeling walk into her schoolhouse half an hour after the final bell rang, just as she requested. "How are you, Chrysalis P0n-3,?' she asked. "Can't lie, I'm doing great today because I get to spend Hearts and Hooves day with you," he replied. "I just have a few more papers to put away. Could you help me with that,?" she asked, and the changeling was helping in a timely fashion. The task only took a couple minutes and the mare indicated that they were good to go. They walked out of the schoolhouse and Cheerilee locked up behind them. They happened to run into Twist on their way out. "What are you still doing here," Cheerilee asked her. "I was just wondering if you know if I passed that test yet, Ms. Cheerilee," the filly replied. It was apparent that Twist knew what was going on between the two and she had a mischevious grin on her face. "Not yet. I'll tell you ponies all how you did tomorrow, now run along home," Cheerilee replied in a firm but pleasant tone. With that, Twist was off. Chrysalis P0n-3 and Cheerilee walked and walked and talked about school and how the changeling was fitting in with the ponies. He was on the looking for certain other ponies so he wouldn't get caught playing them. "So where you taking me..." Cheerilee started to say just as they walked up to the local restaurant, which had been renamed Hearts & Hooves just for the occasion. She looked like she was going to faint. They walked in and were seated. Caramel was their server and they ordered off the menu and talked some more. They also shared a bottle of the most expensive wine on the menu. After a great dinner, Chrysalis P0n-3 left a nice tip and paid the bill. As they were leaving, the changeling informed Cheerilee that there was one more thing, but that she had to be blindfolded. She agreed, so he blindfolded her and took her hoof. He led her to the park and then removed the blindfold. He had a dozen roses and a box of chocolates there for her. "Oh! This is great! Thank you Chrysalis P0n-3, this has been the best Hearts and Hooves day ever!" With that, they kissed, and bid each other farewell.
