Pinky sat in the corner of the cage rubbing the top of his head with the eraser of his pencil.
He had to think of something, today was a special day after all.
"Brain makes this look so easy" He fretted. After a moment he put the pencil tip on the paper in front of him and began writing.
"No, that won't work at all." Pinky looked through the cage bars at Brain who was busy at the computer. He quickly decided to pay him a visit.
He walked the length of the counter until he came to stand beside his friend.
"Hi Brain"
"Not now Pinky, can't you see I'm in the middle of working?" Brain said entering data into the computer.
"Another plan for world domination, is it?"
"Yes, now leave me, I've much work to do and so little time with which to get it done."
"But Brain, I need advise, and you're the smartest one I know, Troz" The Brain sighed.
"Very well Pinky, I'm feeling generous today, what is it that you need?"
"Well, um... see I was hoping you could tell me...If there is someone you really care about and you wanted to write them a valentine, but you weren't sure what to say..." He allowed his voice to trail off.
Brain raised his eye brow. "If you're writing to that horse-"
" Why must you be so intolerant Brain, anyway, it's not her." Pinky said crossing his arms clearly offended.
" Just write what you feel. In your own words."
"What if you can't think of the right ones to use?"
"Then you'll have to think about it. Now, I need to get back to work on my planning." Pinky turned and walked away without another word. He sat back down and wrote a few lines before erasing them.
He began to feel as if he would never get it right. He scrawled a few more lines before yawning and falling asleep.
Not too long after that, Brain returned to the cage. "Pinky I-" He began and upon seeing that his friend was asleep with the paper in front of him, he allowed his curiosity to get the best of him.
He picked up the paper and read it over carefully to himself. He shook his head, before sitting down next to him.
"Pinky, wake up." He shook him slightly,The taller mouse stirred but refused to wake.
"Pinky, If you don't get up this instant I shall be forced to hurt you." He said forcefully.
This time Pinky opened his eyes.
"Oh, Hi Brain, have you finished your plan thingy already?' He rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Brain ignored the question, instead he held out the paper for his friend to see. Pinky's eyes widened as he panicked.
"you weren't supposed to see that yet, it's not done." He sobbed.
"Calm yourself my friend. Is this, -" Pinky sniffled.
"You said I should say how I feel. Narf."
"Pinky, I-I'm touched." He said simply.
"You really like it Brain?" The smaller mouse placed a hand on pinky's shoulder.
"Yes, Thank you Pinky." Pinky wiped away his tears.
"W-what's tonight's plan Brain?" The answer wasn't immediate. The words echoed in his mind.
It doesn't matter whether we take over the world, Because you've already conquered my heart."
"let's just... skip the plan." Pinky felt a jolt of concern.
"Skip it... Brain are you feeling okay?"
"Yes Pinky, after all, there will be tomorrow. The lab will be closed for the weekend. We'll have all that time to prepare ourselves."
"What will we do tonight Brain?"
"I may regret this but, what would you like to do tonight?" The taller mouse smiled.
:"We could... watch some TV... there's this game show that asks questions about products and then you get to go shopping."
"I see, well... I suppose I could sit through it this once."
"Happy Valentine's Day Brain" Pinky hugged the smaller mouse, He was pleasantly surprised when Brain didn't fight to free himself.
Happy Valentine's day Pinky"
