My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Hearts and Hooves Day
A/N: Hey, MLP fans, I'm back with the next chapter, and boy did I have a hectic weekend. Not only did we have the power go out for a number of hours on Saturday night, but due to changes at one of my jobs, I now have to use a smart phone. (shudders) Basically, I have to use a mobile app to clock in and out on for this particular job, and that app doesn't work with a flip phone.
So much for being retro.
Read, review, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from My Little Pony: Magic is Friendship. I just own any and all characters that I just happen create.
CHAPTER FOUR: CURE OR BUST!
The Cutie Mark Crusaders went in search of the two lovebirds and, after searching every place in town, they ended up at Sugarcube Corner, finding Cheerilee and Big Mac seated at a table with a milkshake between them, and they were still staring lovingly at each other while Mrs. Cake was looking a bit ill at the verbal exchange going on between them.
"You take the first sip, snuggle-wuggles," Cheerilee said, pushing the milkshake toward the stallion.
Big Mac shook his head and pushed the milkshake back. "No, you take it, schnoodle-dumplin'."
"No, you, shnooky-lumps."
"No, you, pookie-pie."
Shaking her head, Mrs. Cake went over to the three filles. "I'm all for romance, but this has been going on for hours." she remarked. "What's happened to these two?"
Sweetie Belle nervously chuckled and shrugged. "Who knows?"
"Well, these lovebirds will probably be planning a wedding soon," Mrs. Cake predicted, walking away. "I can always use the catering business."
Hearing this gave Sweetie Belle an idea. "A wedding!" she exclaimed. "That's it! Miss Cheerilee and Big Mac should get married!"
"How is gettin' hitched gonna keep them apart?" Apple Bloom asked, wondering if her friend had lost her mind.
"They aren't really gonna get married," Sweetie Belle assured her friend. "They're just gonna get ready to get married."
Cheerilee chuckled as they continued to push the milkshake to each other. "No, you, biscuit-wiscuit bear!"
"Nope, you, huggy-wuggy snuggy bunny!" said Big Mac, and he accidentally shoved the milkshake off the table and onto the floor, but he didn't even notice or care.
Avoiding the spill, Sweetie Belle walked up to the table. "Hi, Miss Cheerilee, how are you?" she inquired.
Cheerilee held up a framed photo of the stallion. "I have a very special somepony." And she hugged it.
Big Mac accidentally hit the white unicorn filly with his framed photo of the school teacher. "I have a very special somepony."
"Yeah, we noticed," Apple Bloom agreed, doing her best not to throw up at all the baby-talk going on.
Sweetie Belle was feeling the same way, but she hid it better as she and her friend managed to get between the two ponies, who tried to get to each other. "Gosh, you two are so in love, the next thing you know, you'll be getting married," she joked.
Cheerilee and Big Mac froze when they heard that. "Married?!"
Sweetie Belle nodded. "That's right. Maaarriiied."
The school teacher and the stallion liked that idea. "Married…" they repeated, staring longingly at each other, liking that idea.
"Ugh!" Apple Bloom groaned, once again repressing the urge to gag and worked on moving her big brother toward the door. "'Course, if you're gonna get married, you wanna pick out a really nice diamond for your – ugh!" she grunted "– shmoopy-doopy, uh, pookie-pie."
Big Mac, who been resisting, suddenly bolted for the door. "Diamond!" And he slammed the door behind him.
Cheerilee tried to go after him, and she was clearly distressed. "Shmoopy!"
"Don't you think you should start looking for your wedding dress?" Scootaloo suggested, restraining their school teacher. "You'll wanna look your best for your…" she made a face to keep from throwing up "money-bunny snuggle-baby."
Cheerilee froze and the three fillies fell to the floor. "Oh! Dress!" And she crashed through the door.
Leaving Sugarcube Corner behind, the three fillies ran after the two lovebirds while glancing up at the clock tower to note the time.
"Now we just need to keep them apart," Sweetie Belle told her friends. "I'll keep Miss Cheerilee occupied. You two do the same with Big Mac."
"No problem," Apple Bloom agreed as the [clock-tower bell chimed.
Sweetie Belle nodded as they parted ways. "Meet you back at the clubhouse in an hour when this whole mess is over."
Going to Carousel Boutique, Sweetie Belle was mildly disappointed that her sister wasn't there, but it did mean that she could keep Cheerilee busy with trying on wedding dresses for the next hour, and she was determined to keep the school teacher there until the hour was up and the love poison was gone.
"This one looks nice," she said, gesturing to a wedding dress on the rack. "Better try it on though." She then shoved Cheerilee and the entire rack of wedding dresses into the changing room, slammed the door shut, and blocked it with furniture. She then checked the time. "Ten minutes down, fifty minutes to go."
Meanwhile at one of the jewelry stores, Apple Bloom was busy vetoing every piece of jewelry presented to Big Mac, trying to delay his decision until the hour was up, and the shop owner was getting annoyed, but he kept trying. "No. No. Not that one either. No. Too… shiny. No. You know, somethin' less… shiny."
"Mmm," said Karat, hiding his annoyance as he went to check his stock.
"Miss Cheerilee deserves the best," Apple Bloom told her big brother and then went to Scootaloo, who was keeping of the time. "How much time is left?" she asked desperately. "I'm runnin' out of ways to make diamonds sound bad."
Scootaloo glanced at the clock tower. "We still have twenty five minutes."
Apple Bloom sighed and turned back to the counter, discovering that Big Mac was gone. "Where's my brother?" she asked anxiously.
"He made his purchase and departed out the back," Karat informed her. "Said something about needing to see his…" he made a face "shmoopy-shmoo."
"Ugh," Scootaloo said while her friend did her best not to gag.
A/N: So much for keeping Big Mac distracted. See you all on Thursday. Bye for now! R&R everyone!
