Pipsqueak gulped down nervousness as he looked at the mare in front of him. He turned away to calm down, staring at the green grass next to the dirt path he was trotting on. He followed the rest of the class out to their destination. The class stopped in front of a large stage on the outskirts of town.
The teacher, Cheerilee, walked in front of the class, humming to herself the entire time. "Okay my little ponies! We're here!" She turned to her class after they stopped. "Now, we don't normally do this for Hearts and Hooves Day, but Princess Cadence wanted to treat all of you to a lovely ceremony!" Cheerilee turned to the stage and kept her broad smile as the curtains opened.
On the stage stood Princess Cadence. Next to her stood Matilda and Cranky Doodle Donkey. Princess Cadence walked forward. "Hello Ponyvillians. Today, I am here, all the way from the Crystal Kingdom, at request from Princess Celestia, to spread the joy of love to those of you here today. With me, I have Matilda and Cranky Doodle Donkey." At the mention of their names, the two mules bowed. Princess Cadence continued. "Love is a beautiful and powerful thing. Some say the magic of love is even greater than the magic of friendship." She turned to Matilda and Doodle. "Would you two come up to me?" Cadence looked back behind her. "And would you bring your friends, Twilight?"
Twilight walked up to Cadence from backstage. Behind her, her five friends appeared. On them, the Elements of Harmony sat. Twilight bowed to Cadence before turning to the audience. "Hello everypony!" Twilight waved her front left hoof to the crowd.
Cadence smiled. "Now, for our test subject. Where is he again?" Cadence looked up as a dark cloud appeared and lightning struck the stage. Out of the light appeared Discord.
Discord frowned. "Why am I here again?" Discord vanished and reappeared next to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, you said I'd be able to cause some chaos. Did you lie to your friend?" Before Fluttershy could answer, he disappeared and reappeared next to Cadence. "And you, miss 'Oh I beat the Changelings.' What do you expect to accomplish without your Shining Armor here?"
Cadence smiled. "We're going to be using their love instead of my love with Shining." She pointed towards Matilda and Doodle before placing her hoof back down and looking up at Discord. "And don't worry, Discord. You'll cause some chaos soon enough." Cadence walked to the front of the stage. "First up, the Elements of Harmony." She turned to Twilight and nodded. She turned back to Discord. "Discord, summon us an Ursa Major."
Discord's eyes lit up. "One giant star-bear coming up!" Discord snapped his fingers as an Ursa Major appeared near the stage. The Ursa Major looked around, confused for a moment, before spotting the crowd. The Ursa Major roared, causing the crowd of small ponies to scream.
Twilight and her friends stepped forward. The Elements began to glow and the six ponies floated in the air. Twilight's eyes turned white before a large rainbow blasted from the Elements and into the Ursa Major. The Ursa Major howled as it was lifted into the air and disappeared in a puff of color.
Discord sighed. "You girls never let me have any fun anymore. It almost makes me want to be a statue again."
Cadence smiled. "Now, Discord, another please." Cadence placed a hoof on Matilda and another on Doodle. "Now, you two, I need you to focus on your love for one another. Otherwise I won't be powerful enough to pull this off." Cadence turned to see another Ursa Major appear out of nothing. This time, the Ursa Major ran straight at the crowd. The Ursa swiped into the crowd.
Pipsqueak cried out as he was swiped into the air and caught by the Ursa Major. He kicked at the paw, but to no avail. He cried out for help.
Cadence launched a pink beam at the Ursa Major. The Ursa's eyes stared to droop before his pupils turned into the shapes of hearts. The Ursa smiled and licked Pipsqueak before setting him back onto the ground.
Pipsqueak almost fainted after he was set on the ground. He shivered and turned to walk back into the crowd when a small, white unicorn came up to him.
Sweetie Belle smiled at Pipsqueak. "That was so cool! Are you okay, Pipsqueak?" Sweetie Belle walked up to him. "You're face is red! Are you sick?"
Pipsqueak's blush deepened and he shook his head. "N-No I'm fine." He coughed and smiled confidently. "I wasn't even scared."
Cadence smiled towards Pipsqueak. "Yes, you are a very brave little colt. Now, everypony, you see what the power of love can accomplish."
"Oh please." Discord teleported up to the Ursa Major. "So you made the Ursa not eat the little pony. That's nothing special. Twilight and her friends made the last Ursa poof into thin air." Discord smiled as the Ursa Major growled at him. The Ursa opened its mouth and closed it on Discord, swallowing him whole. The Ursa smiled contently for a few seconds before his eyes opened wide and a confused look spread across its face. Discord sat on the Ursa's head. "Oh come now. You think you can eat the master of Chaos?" Discord snapped his fingers and the Ursa Major vanished. "I'll take my leave now." He snapped once again and Discord was gone, but not before creating a rain cloud to rain on Rainbow Dash's head. Rainbow Dash started yelling at Discord, but her only reply was Discord's disembodied laugh.
Cadence bowed to the audience. "That is it! Thank you all for having me here today. I must return to the Crystal Kingdom now. Farewell!"
Sweetie Belle turned to Pipsqueak. "Were you really not scared?"
Pipsqueak chuckled nervously. "Um...Nope! I knew they would save me," he lied, laughing even more nervously. He looked at Sweetie Belle. "Um...I uh..." He started to blush. "Um...Here." Pipsqueak pulled out a card in the shape of a heart and gave it to Sweetie Belle. "W-Would you be my very special somepony?"
Sweetie Belle took the card and looked at it. The card was in the shape of a heart and was red. On the front side, the words "Would you be my special somepony?" were glued on, cut out in pink paper. Sweetie flipped it over and looked at the back. The back had a crudely drawn picture of Sweetie Belle and Pipsqueak holding hooves and smiling at each other.
Sweetie Belle smiled. "Of course Pipsqueak. Only if you'll be my very special somepony too!"
Pipsqueak's eyes lit up and his smile grew wide. "Okay! Let's go to Sugarcube Corner! I hear they make lots of good sweets!" He started running forward and turned for Sweetie Belle, who ran up to him. The two walked off towards Sugarcube Corner.
Rarity ran to the end of the stage. "WAIT! SWEETIE BELLE! YOU NEED A DREEEEESS!" She charged after the two ponies.
I know it's early for Valentine's Day. I just randomly had the idea after my own run of bad romance luck. I hope all of your Valentine's Day wishes and plans go much better than mine probably will. Happy Valentine's Day!
