Some Ponies Are Too Oblivious

by ShimmerShine


That's all there is to it.

At the dance, everypony in Ponyville could tell that Melody and Shimmer Shine outdid themselves. There was a fountain in the middle of the place with streamers and balloons all above. A Whole food section with a chocolate fountain and of course, red and pink all over. In Ponyville, hearts and hooves day was always celebrated like this with a big dance planned by a pony who volenteered with an idea. Melody won this by pitching her idea "Love is right in front of you" Nobody knows why she chose that but, it fit perfectly for what she had planned one week ago.

Everypony was wearing dresses and bow ties for the occasion to make it more fancy. As ponies started walking in the DJ played music while ponies sang. Laughter and love was all around except for at one table.. Melody and Shimmer Shine sat at a table with just the two of them as their friends danced. Cinnamon and Blitz were the only ponies who hadn't shown up yet..

"This sucks,Shimmerz.." Melody sighed looking at her glass of Apple Cider. Shimmer Shine looked up at her..

" Can I ask you something?" She asked. Melody turned to her with a smile.

"Of course! Your one of my best friends!" She replied. Shimmerz took in a big breath.

"Is it wrong that I like my best friend??"

Melody's eyes went wide, her plan was falling into place!!! Well, all except her plan for herself which was depressing but!!! She would still make the rest of it work.

" No... You're singing right??" She asked..

" Yes "

" Then concentrate on who your singing it for." Melody said. Melody picked out the song because she wanted all of her friends to here it. She knew they all knew it so, they would all get it when they were with each other. As another crowd of ponies walked in. Melody saw Cinnamon and Blitz. She ushered Shimmer Shine onto the stage then, quickly ran the the back and whispered something to DjPon3. The Dj pony nodded with a smile and dimmed the lights.

" This is for all these ponies with special some ponies" She said comely. She cleared her throat. " And, if you don't have a special some pony and you have a friend here that doesn't either.. PAY ATTENTION!!!!" The crowd looked at her. " Message from Melody the blue unicorn". After she finished, Shimmer Shine stepped up and the music started.



" You wanna know something, Tripp??" Skatespark said as she danced with her colt-friend. They danced slowly according to the music. Triple Track looked into her eyes and smiled.

"What?" He replied

" I wished this could last" She said, her voice quiet.

"Well" He said looking up at the heart streamers above them. " Maybe with time, it can."

You're my one and only. You're worth more than a million bits. You're my rock, my anchor. You've been there for me through the worst of it.

Lily danced with her chin set on Blue's shoulder bone. She wondered why it took her so long to realize he was always right there... What she didn't know was that Blue was wondering the same thing too. He had always loved her but, not as much as he had since they moved to Ponyville. He wondered why he didn't realize that the thing he was longing for had been right under his muzzle the whole time.

"You know, Melody and Shimmer Shine didn't really get the term " Don't go crazy"" Blue said, laughing at the comment the comment he made to the two mares a week ago.

"Well, they have always been crazy!" She replied with a smile. He looked into her eyes and spoke softly.

" Just like I have always been crazy for you" Lily looked down shyly so he wouldn't see how red her face was. When she lifted her head back up, the began dancing again.

And now, after all we been through, ill be here for you. And now,oh, who I am kidding i can't talk to you like we used to do.

As Melody watched the performance she talked to Derpy out of boredom. Derpy asked her what her favorite kind of muffin was and she replied, not knowing Cinnamon was just around the corner.

" Well, I do really like Cinnamon." She said. Before she could finish a random blue box appeared in the middle of Derpy and Melody. A pair of brown hooves grabbed Derpy and pulled her into the blue box. After that, they disappeared. Melody shrugged it off and turned around to be greeted by Cinnamon eating a blueberry muffin.

" Hey Mel, I heard you like your stud muffins with Cinnamon, spice and everything nice." Melody let her jaw drop as her ears turned bright red.

"What!? No I don't.. Well it's not that I don't like you b-but I don't mean it like that I-I was talking about the spice and the stuff with the muffins a-and--" She stammered. She hid behind the clipboard she had in her aura. Cinnamon pulled the board down and smiled.

" Calm down, Melody! Do you wanna dance??" Melody threw the clipboard and hit somepony on the head.

"Clipboards!!?? Clipboards are for eggheads!!" The mare shouted.

Oh it's really hard to say it.. Here it goes I'm gonna say it.. I love you that's all there is to it.


Shimmer Shine stepped off the stage and was greeted by Blitz who had been sitting and watching while his friends danced.

"Shimmer Shine!! You were amazing!!" He exclaimed. They stared at each other for a moment as the pink mare waited for him to say something else. But, nothing.. Shimmer Shine looked at him and he laughed at her.

"You know it really reminded me of somepony." He said mysteriously.

" Oh really? May I ask who that pony is?" Shimmer Shine said, smiling.

" Yup, she has a pink coat. She's really fun and random.."

"Yes??"

" And she is over there with the princess. I'm gonna ask her to dance" He said as he pointed towards a pink pony with whip cream on her face. Shimmer Shine felt like her heart was getting ripped out of her chest and stomped on. Once Blitz saw her face. He laughed and put his wing around her. " Jeez Shimmerz, take a joke."

Shimmer Shine sighed and laughed as they walked onto the dance floor where all their friends were. They all danced for the rest of the night. Finally realizing that they are some VERY oblivious ponies.
