It was hearts and hooves day and Fluttershy was on her way to the farm to pick up the apples she had ordered from Applejack to feed all the newborn baby bunnies. When she knocked on the door no pony answered 'Oh, I don't want to be rude, maybe I should just leave and see if they're here tomorrow' she thought, and just as she was turning to leave, "Eeyup?" Big Mac said as he was opening the door-"Oh, Big Mac, I was just coming to see if…never mind, is Applejack here?" she asked politely, though she didn't like to talk much to the handsome stallion she so very loved. "Nope" Big Mac replied very quickly, though he did know that Applejack was picking up their visiting Aunt and Uncle Orange from the train station, but he was too shy to talk with the beautiful mare he was madly in love with too. "Oh, do you know when she'll be back?" Fluttershy asked in a softer voice "Nope" Big Mac said hoping that would end the conversation "Well, do you know where she is, maybe I could…never mind" Fluttershy replied to the stallion of her dreams in an even softer tone right before she left. When they were far enough away that they couldn't see or hear each other, they let out a deep sigh of relief. They both loved each other very much, but were too shy to tell the other, they had been in love many years, but never asked each other to be their very special some pony.


The 3 now ex-crusaders had overheard this conversation, and knew how deeply Big Mac and Fluttershy cared for one another. "We need to help them!" Scootaloo told her friends, Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, "And Big Mac and Fluttershy are way too shy to do anything about it" Sweetie Belle said, "But remember what happened last hearts and hooves day? We were working for weeks at the farm! And we promised not to medal in relationships anymore" Apple Bloom pointed out "Yeah, we know, but I mean c'mon! The love your brother and Fluttershy are feeling is real! It's not like we gave them a love poison for that! They just need a tiny…nudge." "You said that last time!" AB told her friend "Are you saying this is NOT true love?!" Sweetie Belle said louder and angrier, "Uh, guys" Scoots said "No! I'm just saying they can do this on their own!" AB said yelling, "Uh, guys!" Scoots said again trying to get their attention "If we leave this up to them they'll never get together!" Sweetie Belle screamed back, soon the 2 were having a yelling match, "GUYS!" Scoots couldn't take it anymore, "WHAT?!" the 2 replied screaming again, the 3 fillies had walked all over Ponyville fighting and it had ended them right in front of Fluttershy's cottage. "Apple Bloom, as much as I don't want to be doing chores at the farm again, I think we need to help them, so are you in or not?" Scoots asked her friend, "Fine, but if we have ta do chores at the farm again, I'm gonna-"Girls? Girls, what are you doing here?" interrupted Fluttershy's soft voice, "We were…" Sweetie Belle began "I know what you were talking about, Angel overheard your conversation, and I am glad you want to help, but please stay out of it" she said. Scootaloo sighed, "Fine" Sweetie Belle gasped "What?!" she yelled "C'mon ya'll let's go" Apple Bloom said with a smug look on her face.


As soon as they were back at the club house Sweetie Belle exploded, "Why? Why did you do that, you KNOW they'll never get together now!" she complained, Apple Bloom was sitting quietly with the same smug look she had on her face when they left Fluttershy's cottage. "Of course we are still gonna help, but I wasn't gonna say that to Fluttershy!" Scoots replied, Sweetie Belle let out a deep sigh of relief at the same time Apple Bloom exploded "What?! I thought we were gonna-" she sighed "Fine, I'm sick of yellin', but if we end up needin' ta do all my brother's chores I won't!" Apple Bloom said "Ok, fine, so how are we going to help them?"Sweetie Belle said. "Hmm" Scoots said tapping her face with her hoof. Oh! I know!" she said jumping up and turning the light above her and her friends on. "How?" the others asked "By sending them each cards! We'll send one to Big Mac from 'Fluttershy', and one to Fluttershy from 'Big Mac'" Scoots explained "They'll never send cards to each other though!" Sweetie Belle said being a little slow, Scootaloo hit her face with her hoof, "We're gonna send the cards and say they're from Big Mac and Fluttershy." Scoots explained very slowly to her friend, "Oh!" Sweetie Belle slapped her face. "Ok, good plan, but how we gonna give the cards to 'em? We can't just walk right up to 'em and hand 'em the cards! And what do the cards even say?" Apple Bloom said. "Well we could I don't know, put them in their mailboxes! And well with what the cards say…I don't know" Scoots replied. "Oh! How about to meet each other at my mom's fancy restaurant on Fillies Street?" Sweetie Belle told her friends "That's a great idea!" AB told her friend. "Ok, but we have to make it look like Fluttershy's and Big Mac's hoofwriting" added Scoots when the finished decorating the 2 cards with lots of glitter, hearts, and hoofprints. The 3 fillies did as well as they could and when they were done, stuck it the 2 unsuspecting ponies mailboxes.


When Fluttershy was coming back to her cottage from saving Equestria once again from Queen Chrysalis, she noticed a letter sticking out of her mailbox, she opened it and it read-Dear Fluttershy, I feel a special way about you that I've never felt before, and I hope you feel the same, please meet me at The Fancy Filly restaurant tonight at 6 –Big Mac . Fluttershy 'screamed' "Yay!" and ran inside to get ready. Big Mac outside bucking apples, while Applejack rested, since she had broken her hind leg saving Rarity from a falling boulder while they were going to get the elements of harmony. He was working when he noticed a letter which he opened and read- Dear Big Mac, I feel a special way about you that I don't feel with any pony else, and I hope you feel the same way about me, please meet me at The Fancy Filly restaurant tonight at 6 -Fluttershy. A smile grew on Big Mac's Face as he yelled "Eeyes!" and ran to carousel boutique to buy a suit, and then to Daisy's house to buy her best flowers. The 3 crusaders didn't have to make reservations for the 2 ponies since Sweetie Belle's mom owned the place, but told her mom what they had done and asked if she could provide 'special' service for them, and she agreed.


When the 2 ponies arrived, separately of course, Octavia and her orchestra started playing beautiful, romantic music, which Sweetie Belle usually sang with, but didn't this time. "H-hi Big Mac, h-how are you?" Fluttershy who was wearing her gala dress started "G-good" he replied and gave Fluttershy the flowers. "Are these for me?" she asked "Eeyup" he said. The 2 were blushing, a spotlight was on them and every pony else in the restaurant was quiet, even the music. "Will you-" the 2 started together "You first-" they said in unison again and giggled Finally the just said it "Will you be my very special some pony?" they asked each other, "Yes!" they both replied and cried with joy. Every pony applauded. In the background, the 3 crusaders clapped hooves happily in success.
