A Chaotic Hearts & Hooves Day

Getting Started

Author's Note:

This was overdue due to a Valentine's Day story I was busy writing.
Enjoy this one, more will come.

The sun was slowly beginning to rise from Ponyville. And today was a special day. For today, was Hearts and Hooves Day. Everyone was busy setting things up for today as well as the night to make things more romantic. From within the Castle of Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship was fast asleep in bed, not making a sound as she was sleeping soundly. Beau had his arm wrapped around his wife whilst Twilight was enjoying the feeling to be in her husband’s arms.

Twilight stirred herself awake and slowly opened her eyes, with Beau waking up at the same time.

‘Morning honey,’ said Beau ‘Happy Hearts and Hooves Day.’

Twilight smiled and pecked her husband’s cheek and said ‘Happy Hearts and Hooves Day.’

The two of them slowly sat on their beds with Beau stretching and said ‘So, anything you want to do today?’

‘I haven’t thought about it yet to be honest.’ said Twilight.

‘Good,’ said Beau ‘Because the guys and I already have plans.’

‘You already made plans?’ asked Twilight.

‘Of course.’ said Beau ‘We already made the arrangements, so all you and the others have to do is to attend there for the day.’

‘Aw,’ pouted Twilight ‘But then we won’t be able to have the time to give you anything for Hearts and Hooves Day.’

‘True,’ said Beau ‘But trust me, it’ll be worth it. Today’s all about you and we want you to have the best day ever.’

Twilight couldn’t help but sigh and looked at Beau with a smile ‘How is it I’ve come to marry a wonderful husband?’

‘Fate has a funny way of showing things, that’s for sure.’ said Beau.

‘True,’ said Twilight before she giggled. ‘And I’m looking forward to it.’

Beau and Twilight kissed each other on the lips, then departed as Beau said ‘Why don’t you get dressed, whilst I make you breakfast.’

Twilight couldn’t help but smile and said ‘That sounds wonderful.’

Beau then secretly pulled out a list that showed him what he needed to do. He then smiled and said ‘Time to make it a perfect day.’

************************************************************************************************

Later at the Spa, Twilight was causally making her way towards the place.

‘Looks like I’m here early.’ said Twilight.

‘Twi?’ said a familiar voice.

Twilight turned around and to her surprise, it was the rest of her friends, aka, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, along with Emily.

‘What are y’all doing here?’

‘Beau asked me to go to the Spa today,’ said Twilight ‘He paid for it and everything.’

‘He did?’ said a surprised Applejack ‘So did Bucky.’

‘And my darling Silver too.’ said Rarity.

‘Even Genus, Bolt and Frosty.’ blurted Pinkie Pie.

‘Same with Spike.’ said Emily ‘Who’d thunk that the number one assistant dragon to the Princess of Friendship who had been very depressed for a long time, could have a romantic side.’

Rarity looked down in shame. Thinking back then how many times Spike fell head over heels for her, but she kept turning down his feelings. She was just ashamed that she didn’t accept him. She suddenly felt Emily’s hand on her shoulder, gaining her attention as she looked at the human female.

‘I know you still feel guilty about not accepting Spike when you saw how he got depressed after you met Silver,’ said Emily ‘But you made your choice and now look at you. You’re married, you have a very creative husband, and the two of you gained a beautiful daughter as a result. And since I came along, we even bonded and became close, even got married afterwards. Sometimes it takes one special person to help change the lives of others.’

Rarity couldn’t help but smile over Emily’s words.

‘Thank you, Emily darling.’ Said Rarity ‘I appreciate your words.’

‘Anytime, Rarity.’ Said Emily.

‘Okay, enough with the mushy talk,’ said an impatient Rainbow Dash ‘We got ourselves a spa to treat.’

The girls walked into the spa and, whilst Applejack said ‘Oh, ah almost forgot to mention. Bucky’s sister Daisy is coming to visit Ponyville for Hearts and Hooves day.’

‘Really?’ said Fluttershy ‘Is she going to visit you at Sweet Apple Acres?’

‘She’ll be visiting partially,’ said Applejack, before she snickered and said ‘The other one is visiting her special somepony.’

‘Really?!’ exclaimed a happy Pinkie Pie ‘With whom?!’

‘Remember that young feller who became close friends with Princess Luna and whom Apple Bloom and her friends helped in order for him to become class president?’

‘Pipsqueak?!!’ exclaimed her friends.

‘Oh yeah,’ said Emily ‘Now I remember.’

She couldn’t help but snicker and said ‘Right after we came back from Caribouria, Bucky took Daisy to Sweet Apple Acres. Granny Smith and the others were surprised and excited to meet her, even Apple Bloom got along with her. Then shortly after that, she bumped into Pipsqueak. He fell head over heels for her when he first met her. She noticed and ended up asking him out. Though Bucky was overprotective, he knew better than to question Daisy. The two ended up getting together for a date. They still write to each other, but they were able to make things work.’

‘Aw, that’s so sweet.’ Said Fluttershy.

‘Huh,’ said Rainbow ‘Pipsqueak really is lucky. He’s a good Colt and he knows how to stay out of trouble. You ask me, Daisy found herself a good match.’

‘If Bucky doesn’t go super overprotective of her.’ Said Pinkie Pie.

‘Oh, don’t worry,’ said Applejack ‘Bucky already met Pipsqueak plenty of times and the two of them have been spending an awful time together. He’s even helped him out from time to time. When he asked Bucky if he could go out with her, y’all should’ve seen how Bucky reacted, he was excited.’

‘Good for him.’ Said Twilight.

‘Alright darlings,’ said Rarity ‘Before we continue any further, let’s just go in and enjoy our day.’

The girls agreed and walked inside.

‘Ah, Mrs. Rarity,’ said Aloe ‘Welcome. You and your friends are just in time.’

‘We are?’ said the Mane 6 and Emily.

‘Indeed,’ said another Spa worker ‘Your husbands have booked all of you to for the super-ultra-deluxe treatment. And they paid in advance to make sure all of you are perfectly groomed for this event.’

The Mane 6 and Emily couldn’t help but smile on the thoughtful surprise that the husbands and Spike did for them.

‘So please,’ said Aloe ‘Right this way and we’ll get started.’

They soon made their way to the Spa, with each of the girls thinking ‘Thank you so much.’

**************************************************************************************************

The husbands, after making sure that the wives were distracted with the Spa that they organized, quickly met up at the hill where they did some stargazing whilst camping out and having a picnic a while back, quickly met up with Spike on the hill to discuss what they should do during Hearts and Hooves day for their wives.

‘So, now that they seemed to be distracted for the time being,’ said Spike once they gathered around ‘What’s the plan.’

‘Whilst the wives are distracted with the super-ultra-deluxe treatment set,’ said Beau as he began to fill them in ‘Each of us will be assigned to gather everything for tonight, so everything needs to be ready and perfect and according to plan.’

Beau went over the list to make sure everything is all set and gave each of them their assignments.

‘Bolt,’ said Beau whilst pointing at him ‘You’ll be in charge of the tables and place them at the spot where they went to see the meteor shower a while back.’

‘You got it.’ Said Bolt ‘And thanks for arranging them to meet me at the spot. Now I can easily set them up.’

Beau gave a thumbs up as he assigned the next one.

‘Bucky,’ said Beau ‘You’ll be in charge of the food. Make sure you have everything that’s good and that no one is allergic to them.’

‘Got it,’ said Bucky ‘Thankfully Saffron Masala had sent a few dishes a while back, so that’ll be really helpful.’

Beau nodded in agreement before looking at the list. ‘Silver, you’re in charge of the decorations, namely plates, silverware and a few table cloths. Make sure everything is all set so that both you and Bolt can get started.’

‘I can do that.’ Said Silver as he agreed to the assignment.

Beau read the next part of the list whilst he said ‘Genus, you’re in charge of the drinks. Stuff like punch, Ice Tea, lemonade and lots of apple juice.’

‘Really?’ said Genus ‘Why that many?’

‘Cause the last time I didn’t organize that part to the feast, a certain apple farmer threw a hissy fit over it.’

‘You’re still ticked about that?’ said Bucky ‘She said she was sorry, it’s not her fault that she gets really clingy when it comes to apple related products.’

‘Especially the so called apple flavored ice cream.’ Said Beau, making everyone cringe at that. ‘Why the heck did they think it was a good idea to make a combo like that.’

‘They fixed it a while back didn’t, they?’ said Frosty ‘They said that there were a few ingredients that were too much, too little, and that were forgotten to be added before the next shipment was sent.’

‘Point taken.’ Said Beau, before he looked at the list and said ‘Frosty, you’ll be in charge of the deserts are ready.’

‘Presenting sweats, I can definitely do.’ Said Frosty with a fist bump.

‘In the meantime, I’ll make sure that everything is organized for the night.’ Said Beau, then he looked at a certain dragon and said ‘Spike?’

‘Oh, I know mine.’ Said Spike ‘I’ll be going to Canterlot to, ahem, acquire something special. That will allow us to be away for a full weekend. I even made sure that everypony’s schedule is wide open.’

‘You sure that our wives will be distracted long enough?’ asked Bolt.

‘No need to worry,’ said Beau ‘Aloe and the others will make sure they’ll be distracted during their Deluxe appointment. So thankfully, they won’t be suspicious for anything.’

Beau then changed the subject as he asked ‘So, anyone ordered anything special for the day?’

‘I’ve ordered the food straight from the Tasty Treat,’ said Bucky ‘And Saffron knows exactly what to bring, thanks to some of the recipes I gave her a while back.’

‘I was able to buy some Silverware that I kept in storage.’ Said Silver ‘Figured we could use them for a special occasion.’

‘Just like Rarity,’ said Bolt with a chuckle, which he ended up receiving a glare from Silver, but ignored it as he said ‘I was able to get some special banquet tables that Ponyville used on their last celebration.’

‘The drinks I ordered will also be there.’ Said Genus.

‘Good,’ said Beau ‘In the meantime, all of you will need to get ready, we’ll meet before the sun sets. Let’s go.’

The guys quickly went their separate ways whilst Spike left for Canterlot to fetch the tickets.

But just before he could reach for the train station, a certain Draconequus appeared, making Spike yelp in shock.

‘Why hello there Spike.’ Said Discord, hovering over Spike like a flying snake.

Spike groaned and said ‘What do you want Discord?’

‘Oh, silly Spike,’ said Discord ‘Why, I’m just here to ask if you and Big Mac are up for our Ogres and Oubliettes game today?’

‘Uh, sorry Discord, we can’t.’ said Spike ‘Big Mac and Sugar Belle are out of town in Apple Wood. Plus, I’m really busy, I’m on my way to Canterlot.’

Discord made his O&O outfit disappear whilst he pouted.

‘Oh pooh,’ said Discord ‘What could be more important than guys’ game night?’

‘I’m busy helping the guys out.’

‘Helping the others?’ asked Discord as he leaned over to Spike. ‘With what?’

‘It’s a secret,’ said Spike. But he could tell how mischievous the Draconequus can get, so he said ‘And don’t even think about butting your nose in Discord. You know very well how much the guys mean to Twilight and the others, especially Fluttershy. We wouldn’t want to upset both her and Warm Breeze now do you, especially since Comfy Breeze being born.’

He walked past Discord, with the Draconequus asking ‘And how are you going to get to Canterlot?’

‘Uh, by train?’ said Spike.

‘You do realize that you can fly, right?’ said Discord whilst flexing an eyebrow.

Spike stopped and blinked in surprise. Making him slap his forehead out of stupidity.

‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ mumbled Spike under his breath.

He spread his wings and began to fly, with Discord being curious.

‘So, whatever are they planning?’ asked Discord to himself.

Then a clone of him arrived and said ‘Why don’t we pop over and see the brains of the husbands, the one who had his wife influenced on him for being an organized know it all.’

‘Oooh, good idea.’ Said Discord before he teleported himself away.

****************************************************************************************************

From within the Castle of Friendship, Beau was walking down the hall, going over the list one more time to ensure that all of them have their daily schedules.

‘Okay,’ said Beau whilst looking things over ‘If the guys stick to their schedules, we should be right on time once our wives are finished at the Spa.’

‘Dad?’ said a familiar voice.

Beau looked away from the list and saw Moonlight Sparkle, his daughter.

‘Oh, hey Moonlight.’ Said Beau as he stood on one knee and looked at his daughter ‘What’s up?’

‘What are you doing?’ asked Moonlight.

‘Well, seeing that it’s Hearts and Hooves day,’ said Beau whilst he explained things to his daughter ‘I’m busy planning something with the guys to surprise your mother and her friends.’

‘Really?’ said Moonlight ‘But what happens if things could go wrong?’

‘That’s why I’m going to need some help.’ Said Beau ‘Think you can help me out on that a bit?’

‘Oh, of course.’ Said Moonlight as she perked up on that ‘I love to organize.’

Beau couldn’t help but chuckle, for she is truly like her mother, always the organizer, as well as a well induced panic attack child.

‘Come on,’ said Beau as he placed his list on the table ‘Let’s go see what else we can add together.’

‘Okay.’ Said Moonlight as she flew alongside her dad.

However, unknown to the two of them, Discord suddenly appeared. He looked around and saw that the coast was clear. He noticed the list, but he didn’t want anyone to be suspicious. So, he created a copy of the list and looked it over whilst placing glasses over his eyes.

‘Hmm, very interesting.’ Said Discord once he looked it over. He then made it disappear with a poof. He then placed his fingers together as if he was an evil emperor. ‘I think it’s time we make this…the best day ever. It’s time for us to have some…real fun.’
