[This Short is Canon, a year before the events of The Return, just a small short too until I get the next Chapter finished]
Mushroom Castle
Music was being played inside the castle ballroom, people were dancing, talking, eating, and giving each other Valentine gifts.
The gifts mainly consist of candy, small nicknacks, or other such items; but the gift that Yoshi wanted to give to his crush, was something that he had been trying to get for the entire month.
He was really hoping that it didn't get lost, but luckily thanks to his parents he was able to find it.
Yoshi held a small red bag with orange colored paper inside covering the gift, he then tried looking for his crush until he saw him, Archangel dancing with Mario and Luigi.
Archangel was dancing like a goofball, most of the time he would mess up and trip a little bit, or even do some old dances that no one does anymore.
'You freaking dork, why do you gotta dance like that?'thought Yoshi, as he'd walked up to the three, moving beside people who were in the away and saying sorry when he accidentally bumped into someone.
Yoshi then bumped into Archangel, accidentally without noticing he was close to him.
Archangel stopped dancing and looked over to Yoshi who was blushing and had his hands behind his back, hiding his gift.
"Oh... hey Yoshi, you gonna ask me to dance with you or something?"said Archangel, giving a small smirk to him.
Yoshi blushed even more then he did before." N-No...I-I just... oh just follow me!"said Yoshi, walking the other way while putting the gift in front of his chest.
Archangel then turned to Mario and Luigi who were confused, Archangel gave them a slight shrug and followed Yoshi.
Castle Hallway
The door to the ballroom opened and Yoshi came out to and stopped next to the door with Archangel doing the same while also shutting the door.
"Ok, so why is it that you brought me away from the party?"asked Archangel, as he looked at Yoshi.
Yoshi then looked at him, shyly and lower his head to the side."I umm... wanted to give you this..."said Yoshi, presenting the red bag to Archangel.
"A-A gift... but i didn't get you anything..."said Archangel, grabbing the gift."It's okay, and besides, I just know you'll love what i got you."said Yoshi.
"Oh really, is it a whole bag of my favorite candy?" Yoshi shook his head no."Something special..."said Yoshi.
Archangel begins opening the gift."Let me guess it's Rouge... Koopa..." Archangel then held a picture frame of him when he was just kid with his Parents holding him, but the picture was slightly dirty and a little burnt.
"My parents found it in the wreckage of your old house, so they send it to me, to give to you," said Yoshi.
Archangel paused and looked at the photo deeply, a few tears fell on the glass of the frame.
Archangel then hugged Yoshi and sobbed as he closed his eyes."Thank you... thank you so much for this..."said Archangel, crying.
Yoshi then hugged him back and they then stayed hugging each other before entering back into the ballroom.
Happy Valentines Day, to all of those in the world, no matter who you are...
