Two friends share Hearthswarming Eve together at a cabin in the mountains. Beauty strikes in an unexpected way. (The details may weave a fictional story, but Smith's emotions and experience of beauty are mine.)

IMPORTANT!!
A friend described the story as `sad` and `bittersweet`. While I agree with the second description, I didn't include the `sad` tag because it's not sad to me. If you're curious, I've included an explanation at the end in the Author's Notes.

If you didn't know him, you might think Chocolate Oats has it made. Successful artist, married to one of Equestria's top models, loaded with cash and a grand house ... who wouldn't want to be him? You might be surprised to find how tempting a shot at a different life would be to Coco himself.

If he took off the mask, you'd find out that the two of you just might be more alike than you'd think.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a story about life.

Caramel gets up the nerve to tell that special somepony something.

I guarantee you won't see the end coming.

This is a crack fic. The idea came to me in a sudden bout of inspiration and I just had to write it! I don't expect much from it, but I hope to make you chuckle (or at least look at me all confused, and shake your head because I'm insane, that works too).

So yeah. Don't take this seriously. There isn't a `romance` tag for a reason.
