Hearts & Hooves Day
Pinkie Pie's Moment
The residents of Ponyville were glad to be graced by yet another amazing, warm, sunny day. Although, this day was unlike all others. The grass was greener, the flowers smelt sweeter, and the ponies were in love. Hearts and Hooves Day only comes once a year, and when it does, stallions swarm to express pent up feelings to the mare of their heart's desire, hoping that she would like him in return.
Princess Luna knew above all others, that nopony would shun her glorious night with sleep on Hearts and Hooves Day.
Ponyville slowly rattled and sputtered back to life, ponies taking to their daily activities and preparing to initiate plans of romance for that evening. Come noontime, the energy in the air had reached its potential, mare after mare falling, starry eyed, to the stallion who wished to sweep her away.
Pinkie Pie dabbed the counter clean in Sugar Cube Corner, waiting patiently for the next customer. Just like clockwork, the mail was delivered to the postage box just outside the main entrance. The pink mare smiled happily, her blue eyes lifting up as she walked out to retrieve it. "Wow!" She picked up the hearty bundle, bringing it inside and spreading it out on a table. Mr. Cakes watched from a distance. "Just throw out all the junk, Pinkie Pie; bring the rest to me..." The mare nodded, sifting through the rest as she created two piles.
She cocked her head to the side, finding a red envelop addressed to her. She looked around, opening the flap with a slight tear, pulling out the card inside. "Aw, somepony sent me a Hearts and Hooves Day card!" Mr. Cakes raised his head, curious for a short moment. Pinkie Pie continued to look, seeing that the card was heart shaped.
You're my super duper party pony. Happy Hearts and Hooves Day!
With love, Cheese Sandwich
Pinkie Pie held the card to her chest, hugging it happily. "Who sent you the card?" She sighed lovingly, kissing the thick piece of paper a few times with loud, dramatic, noises. "It was Cheese Sandwich! I had no idea he liked me! Well, I knew he liked me, but I had no idea he like-liked me!" She gasped, smacking both of her cheeks. "I need to go and show all of my friends this!" Mr. Cakes chuckled, nodding his head. "You have a good evening now, okay?"
"Thanks Mr. Cakes!" She ran outside, rushing to the home of her nearest friend. She first poked her head into the library, seeing her princess friend and immediately belching out the news. "Twilight! I just got a Hearts and Hooves Day card from guess who?" The lavender mare dawned a confused face, one that was quickly remedied by the bubbly, pink, mare's explanation. "It's Cheese Sandwich and he's got a huuuuuge crush on me!" Before her friend could reply, Pinkie Pie ran on, going to the homes of her other friends and telling them about the card she received.
Just as the mare began to loose her steam, trotting more slowly, her mouth dry from announcing Cheese Sandwich's card to her, she stalled. Pinkie Pie laid down on the side of the road, rolling onto her back and sticking her hooves up dramatically.
With a start, the tired mare stood, suddenly invigorated with energy. She looked around, the scent of cheese filling her nose. "What's this?" She sniffed at the air, the scent remaining the same. "A knew pinkie-sense?" She smiled, her mouth opening slightly and revealing her teeth.
Behind her, she saw a brown, flat brimmed, hat. She saw a curly brown tail in a tangled mess, and would have recognized his tannish poncho anywhere. She ran toward the stallion at incredible speed, tackling him onto his back. "Cheese Sandwich!" She immediately rubbed noses with him, hugging the stallion tightly.
He blushed, hugging her back before releasing her. "Wow! It's so good to see you, Pinkie Pie! What was that for?" She giggled, nestling her head against his chest and hugging him again. "I got your card, silly! I didn't know you liked me so much!"
Cheese Sandwich blushed, rubbing noses with her excitedly again. "Well of coarse I do, you're my super duper party pony, after all!" She helped him up, straightening his hat atop the stallion's head as he adjusted his poncho. "I knew you were coming! I got a new pinkie sense where I smell cheese!" He frowned, cocking his head back and taking a whiff of himself. "Do I..."
"No silly, you smell like cotton candy!" Cheese Sandwich blushed, standing beside her happily as the looked at Ponyville from a distance, a bridge in front of them. Cheese Sandwich reached over and quickly planted a kiss on her cheek, eliciting a blush and goofy smirk from the mare. "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day."
She looked to him, tackling the stallion once more and kissing him in fast successions, reaching down to kiss him, pulling up for air, and continuing this cycle for what felt like a very long time. Soon they were both laughing madly, hugging each other and cuddling in the grass. "I sent that card because I didn't know if I'd make it to Ponyville, but I did!"
Pinkie Pie nodded excitedly. "You sure did! Come on, let's go, I want to go do coltfriend and marefriend stuff with you!" She gasped, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him. "We should eat ice cream!" She ran toward Ponyville, waving her hoof for him to follow.
Cheese Sandwich smiled, running after her full tilt.
Twilight Sparkle once again had her head rested on her hooves, flipping through a textbook in her library. There was another knock at the door, Pinkie Pie once more sticking her head in. "Look who I found!" Cheese Sandwich stuck his head in as well. "Hello!" Twilight Sparkle giggled, waving to him. "We're gonna go get some ice cream, do ya wanna come?" Twilight shook her head, the two ponies departing and going to spend their Hearts and Hooves Day together. She sighed, going back to her book with a slightly more cluttered mind than she had had before. Luckily, Twilight Sparkle had planned a gardening visit with Fluttershy later that day to relax her.
Pinkie Pie dragged Cheese Sandwich through the center of Ponyville, giggling and bouncing up and down happily. "This is amazing!" He chuckled, staying close behind her.
They stopped, facing each other. "We should've done something like this sooner!" Pinkie Pie nodded, kissing his nose once in a quick peck. Cheese Sandwich smirked, kissing her nose back. "Now come on!" Pinkie Pie started away once again. He set his green eyes on her, darting to her side if he could catch up. The yellow stallion was forced to chase after her, but he liked it.
That's all for Pinkie Pie X Cheese Sandwich!
