Ah yes, flowers are a tried and true gift. You've bought yourself a fancy bouquet of white roses, catnip, and red tulips. It cost a fair few bits, but price isn't important in the name of love. You fuss with the flowers, trying to make them look as nice as possible. When you are satisfied, you walk over to Pinkie Pie.

She waves and blows a bubble shaped like a whale. You have no idea how she managed to do that, but you can't help but smile. Leaning forward, you present the flowers to her.

Her eyes widen and she gasps. “Wow, these are perfect for Octavia's recital tomorrow. Did Roseluck send you?”

“No—”

“Don't be silly; of course she did! I was waiting for a shipment and I can't possibly think of any other reason for a pony to randomly approach me with a lovely bouquet like this.” Pinkie sniffs at the flowers and nods her approval.

“But Pinkie—”

“You're right! I can't use the flowers like this! I'll need a matching vase, some ribbons, water balloons, and streamers!”

“Uh...” You raise a hoof to object, but it's clear that she isn't paying attention. She zips off before you can say anything else. Not only did you not stand out, but your attempt at being romantic has resulted in Pinkie Pie going on a shopping spree for party supplies.

Fail.

Go back.
