I don't own My Little Pony in any way, shape, or form.

Chapter 1 The Morning

Rainbow Dash awoke to a sweet and delicious smell. Confused, she climbed out of bed and sleepily made her way to her kitchen.

"Morning Dashie!" Pinkie Pie said as the pegasus entered.

"Pinkie? What are you doing here?" Dash said a yawn.

"Well, it's Hearts and Hooves day, so I wanted to surprise you by making you breakfast."

"How are you even up here? My house is made of clouds."

"I stopped by Twilights house on the way over here and had her do that cloud walking spell on me."

Dash glanced at the wall clock. It was just after seven.

"Huh. That was nice of her."

"I know! She was a little grumpy at first though."

"Gee, I wonder why…" the blue mare muttered under her breath.

"Anyway, I made my super special pancakes and waffles just the way you like them!"

"Aw, thanks babe," Dash said kissing Pinkie on the cheek.

"No problemo! It's the least I could do for my super awesome fillyfriend."

Smiling, Dash sat down at the table and began pilling food onto a plate and immediately dug in. The pancakes and waffles were unlike anything Dash had tasted before. Pinkie would put syrup and homey into the batter, making them taste as if they had been covered in them, but without making them soggy. Pinkie also put in lots of cinnamon and sugar, to further increase the sweetness, as well as chopped up strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. No matter how many times Dash ate them she was always surprised at how much flavor Pinkie was able to cram into them.

Pinkie sat down next to her and began eating as well.

"How is it?" she asked in between mouthfuls.

"Better then ever!" Dash proclaimed through a mouthful of waffle, "You really outdid yourself this time."

"You always say that."

"And it's always true."

"Thanks," Pinkie said kissing Dash, "So what do you have planned for us today?"

"It's a surprise Pinkie. Trust me though, you're gonna love it."

"As long as I'm with you Dashie, it doesn't matter what we do."

Twilight sat in her kitchen, grumpily drinking her second cup of coffee. Pinkie had burst into her house just a little bit ago, woke her up, and demanded she cast the cloud walking spell on her so that she could go see Rainbow Dash. Why she couldn't of just waited until Twilight had woken up on her own, she didn't know. Considering Pinkies weirdness though, this was pretty much par for the course. Finishing her coffee, she got up to pour herself a third one when she heard soft footsteps and a yawn from behind her.

"Morning Twilight," Spike said pouring himself a cup.

"Morning," Twilight grumbled as she sat back down.

"I thought I heard Pinkie a little bit ago. Was she actually here or was that just a weird dream?"

"She was here. She made me do that cloud walking spell so she could go see Rainbow Dash."

"She couldn't of waited till later?"

"Apparently not. I guess she wanted to surprise her for Hearts and Hooves day."

"Speaking of Hearts and Hooves day, you've been real secretive about what we're doing tonight. Any hints you can give me?"

Twilight chuckled and placed a kiss on Spikes cheek. "Sorry, you're just gonna have to wait till later."

"Aw come on! Just a little one?"

"Nope."

"Please! I promise I'll still act surprised."

"You're just gonna have to wait."

"Mornin' big brother," Applejack said as she stepped out into the orchid, "Got any special plans for today?"

"Eeyup," Mac replied with a nod.

"Same here. Good thing we don't got to many chores today. Wouldn't wanna keep our special someponies wiatin' to long fer us."

"Eenope."

Working quickly, the two ponies finished up their work in record time. Wiping the sweat from her brow, Applejack let out a small sigh of relief.

"That went pretty well. See ya later big brother."

"Eeyup."

The two parted ways, heading towards different parts of town. Applejack ran through town quickly, taking all the detours and side streets she knew. As she passed through the park, she stopped briefly to pick a rose off of one of many rose bushes that had been planted. She continued on until she reached her destination. Slowing down, she stepped up to Carousel Boutiques front door and began to knock.

"Rarity, its Applejack!" she called out, "Ya'll up yet?"

She waited a few seconds before knocking again.

"Rarity? Ya there?"

The orange earth pony stared at the door. Maybe Rarity hadn't heard her. She knew how Rarity could be when she was creating clothes. She often went into a 'zone' and would ignore what was going on around her. Considering today was Hearts and Hooves day, Rarity was probably creating some special new outfit just for today. Nodding, Applejack pushed on the door lightly. It swung open, just as she thought it would, and she stepped inside. Closing the door behind her, Applejack ascended the stairs to the second floor and went over to Rarity's workshop.

"Rarity, ya in here?" she quietly asked, lightly knocking on the door.

Receiving no answer, she opened the door and stepped into the room. In the middle of the room, Rarity lay asleep on a heap of fabric and drawings.

"Rarity, did you stay up all night working?" Applejack said softly to herself, "Ya know that's not good for you."

She walked over to her sleeping fillyfriend and gently shook her shoulder.

"Rarity, it's time to get up now," she whispered.

Rarity shifted and mumbled something, but remained asleep. Applejack shook a little harder, and in a slightly louder voice said, "Rarity, wake up."

Rarity slowly opened her eyes, yawned, and turned over, saying, "Oh, good morning Applejack. Seems I stayed up a bit later then I had wanted. Thank you for waking me."

"Of course. Couldn't have ya sleepin' all day. We got plans, remember?"

"Of course I do," the unicorn replied standing up, "You didn't really think I'd forget, did you?"

"Course not," Applejack replied with a chuckle, "Here. I picked this for you on the way over," she continued, handing her the rose.

"Oh, thank you dear," Rarity said taking the rose and sniffing it. Placing it behind her ear, she looked to the other mare and smiled. "How does it look? Lovely, right?"

"Not nearly as lovely as you."

Rarity laughed placed a kiss on her fillyfriends cheek. "Oh, you. Come on; let's go get some breakfast. I am positively famished darling."

Fluttershy quickly moved about her home, feeding her animals and tending to whatever other needs they had. The yellow mare had plans for later today and needed to make sure everything was taken care of at home first.

"Come on Angel bunny, eat your breakfast," she said placing a bowl of veggies in front of the bunny.

Angel looked at the bowl, then turned away, arms crossed, and tapped his foot impatiently against the floor.

"Angel bunny please, today is very important. I need to make sure you're all taken care of before Big Mac gets here."

Angel looked back at Fluttershy, then at the bowl. He grabbed a piece of lettuce, sniffed at it, than began quickly devouring the food. Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Oh, he's here!" Fluttershy exclaimed happily. "Good morning Big Mac!" she said, pulling the door open with a smile.

"Howdy," Mac replied with a nod.

"Come in, come in," the yellow mare said, stepping to the side.

Mac nodded in stepped inside as Fluttershy closed the door behind him. Floating off the ground, she laid down on the red stallions back and hugged him around the neck.

"I'm so happy to see you today," she said, "This is going to be our first Hearts and Hooves day together. I'm so excited."

"Eeyup," Mac agreed with a nod.

"I have so many special things planned for us to do, I hope we can do it all before the days over."

"Eeyup."
