Love is a many splendid thing, dahling....
Wow, I just cannot believe all of this amazing connections! Who would think that Gusty would have such an attraction to Quarterback, or Fizzy would get the hots for Salty? Sometimes I feel ashamed knowing these ponies are so totally gone on each other before anyone else does, but that makes it all part of the fun when ah...
Oh! Pardon me! Introductions are in order first, darling! My name is Heart Throb, Dream Valley's own pink mare with a pink mane and pink hearts cutie mark. I'm the pony who's all about love around here, and being the castle's resident matchmaker is my special talent- one I have carried out with unserving ability ever since ah was a little filly. It's my destiny to bring all of the star-crossed lovers of ponydom together, and it makes me so happy to help those lonely mares and stallions get together with the one who is destined to be their very special someone. I've brought togethah some o' Dream Valley's most romantic couples, ahnd ahm the number one Pegasus evreh pony comes to when they are lonely, ahnd they need halp findin the pony o' their dreams!
Y'all may not know this, but every mare who's ever born has an invisible pink thread tied to their hoof. That thread leads away from that pony, and can go for as short as the next room over, to all the way arounbd the world. For on the other end of this thread is the stallion who is destined to be the mare's true love, with whom he will marry, have children, and be happy. Ya see sugar, the horsemaster creates a thread between every pair of ponies of the opposite sex on this planet, and only I can see these threads of those who are destined to lifebond. So I do my best to bring them together, so that everyone can find the happiness in love they so deserve. Ah do try to halp them, rally I do!
It's always been a gift of mine, ya see... evah since ah was a little filly in Mustangia. Aunty Fancy Flower said I had inherited 'the gift' from mah grandma, an mah sistah Truly was actually scared I was gonna put a 'love hex' on her, since she didn't understand mah special talent an' all. Oh, ah was really good at fixin' up the lonely mares an' stallions at the annual summer picnic every year, and all the ponies in town came to me fo' love advice. Oh, I just loved love back then, keeping a valentine collection reading those ponyquin romance novels. Nothin sets mah heart aflitter like the thought of a young mare an' stallion in love! So when ah got heyah ta Dream Castle, ah took ta helpin these lovelorn ponies like a fly takes ta molasses!
Let's see now... oh, there's the thread between Wind Whistler and Chief, obviously. And over there is the twine connecting Bianco and Moondancer. Knowing of my strange power, most ponies would simply accept any significant other I fixed them up with as an obvious given, and never go through the fun an excitement of getting to know a new pony as you courted them. So I usually try to be sneaky and subtle, manipulating the involved pair into spending time with each other. Over time, things just seem to click as they talk, and I have had a 100% sucsess record on all of my matchmaking endeavors, dahling!
But it's not always easy to bring them together, let me tell y'all! I usually play the part of a romantic ditz to catch them off guard, then slowly start dropping hints- a love note here, a valentine there- for the two of them. Though sneaky tricks and shadowy stunts, I get the two to spend more and more time together, until one day they suddenly realize about each other what I knew all along. I can't tell you how much fun it was to work my magic on disgruntled ponies like my sister Truly, and it was a blast helping even her Majesty the queen find the pony whom her heart has always belonged to!
But... this job isn't always so fun and exciting. There are some ponies who just can't get a clue when I drop them the little hints and clues, and go on to cause both themselves and their future partner a great deal of grief before finally coming to there senses and 'discovering' their love for said pony. And there are those few ponies whose threads lead out an away from Dream Castle, like Twilight's did- those are sometimes the hardest ones to fulfill the dreams of. And reading another species's love threads? Forget it! I've never been able to get a reading on either Spike or Megan. I even wonder if humans or dragons have lifelong soulmates, considering unlike ponies they can take multiple partners- and also unlike ponies they can even take partners not of the opposite gender! *Sigh* other species can be so confusing sometimes.
But the worst is the one pony whose thread line I cannot read... my own. I can't even see my thread, let alone even possibly READ it. I don't even know if B'zekre even made a very special someone out there for me! So I have to be content looking at my valentine collection, and reading cheesy romance novels until my knight without his own visible soul thread tied to his hoof shows up. Until them, I guess I'll just have to be content with the way things are right now! You cannot imagine how hard it is to be a pony of love, yet y'all caint expriance the thrill of the emotion yahself.
Bein' the pony of love an' all, ah often wondah if this is haow it was fo' Princess Cadence back in her day. She was equestria's old pony o' love, ahnd it was yeahs before she found her knight in Shining Armah... literaly. Thait mare is mah idol- she started as a pegasus too, ya'll know, before becomin an alicorn! Ah don't know if she is able to spot the love lines like I cain, but she coan spread love with her magic- somethin far beyond mah talents! Ah hope I cain get ta Misty Mountain someday, ahnd maybe ask the grand 'ol lady fo' some advice on haow ta spread love bettah.
Well, that's all I have ta say for now! I need to go help Cheerilee on her date with Wigwam. Come look me up if yo evah in Dream Castle, and y'all have a love problem of your own, I'd be happy to help! Oh, and let me know if you know of anyone nice who isn't attached, okay? Hope ta see y'all ahgain, ahnd don't be a stranger, ya heyah?
Oh, ahnd since as a southerner y'all expect me ta say it... South Mustangia shall rise aghain! Rally it will!
Heart Throb
