A/N: Happy Hearts and Hooves Day Everypony.

I have a new OC pony. Joyful Noise. He is mentioned and described in an A/N in my new Drabble fic Raised By Cakes. If you want to use him in a fic please give me credit.

Harry is 9 and Soarin is 15 still for a few more months but the two have no romantic feelings for each other yet and would not act this way toward each other without influence of the Love Poison. Rest assured nothing explecit happens.

Summary: Big Macintosh and Miss Cherilee hit it off the second time they meet without the Love Potion the Cutie Mark Crusaders provided. Unfortunately, Harry and Soarin of the Wonderbolts come across the potion thinking it is a nice fruit punch provided by the previous two. Hilarity ensues as the CMC and Mane 6 with Big Mac and Cherilee try to keep the two apart long enough for the effects to wear off...

Chapter 9: Hearts And Hooves Day

"Now up and give me 20 laps around the farm!" Soarin ordered after Harry finished his current set of Wing Ups. Harry rose into the air higher and flew away to start flying around Sweet Apple Acres.

Soarin had been reqruited by Princess Celestia herself to teach her grandcolt how to fly properly. When he asked why him and not Spitfire, who had far more experience teaching colts and fillies than he did, well...

"Oh, I have a little hunch my grandson would prefer you to teach him over other members of your team." Celestia chuckled with a knowing twinkle in her eye.

What was that twinkle? Soarin asked himself as he watched Harry's progress with his 20 laps while in his Wonderbolt uniform. Harry finally came to a stop and caught his breath. "Five minutes." Soarin said. Genuinely impressed. "Not bad. Your improving."

"Thank *gasp* you *gasp* Sir!." Harry said, saluting Soarin as best he could while gasping for air.

"At ease squirt. Your not a cadet. At least not yet." The blue maned pegasi smirked at the colt's lit up face. "But keep this pace up and you might become a candidate for early graduation from Wonderbolt Academy."

Harry's grin would remind Applejack of Winona after she found out where her family hid the stash of dog biscuits.

"Let's take a break." The pegasi suggested. He took off his Wonderbolt uniform and stashed it in his saddlebag. Joining Harry walking up a hill that overlooked Sweet Apple Acres. A very nice view and a relaxing breeze guaranteed. "Do you ever wish you where raised in Canterlot?" Soarin asked curiously as they walked.

"With that snob of a nephew of mine?" Harry asked in a bewildered tone. "No way! I'd probably wind up in the Royal Canterlot Guard boot camp!"

"I'm surprised Blueblood hasn't already been shipped off. He's such a jackass." Soarin joked with his young friend as they laughed at the snobbish unicorn mentioned.

"OMC it's Soarin of the Wonderbolts!" Came the voice of an eager filly as the duo reached the top of the hill. ]

Soarin looked around and saw the local school teacher and Harry's uncle walkind away from a picnic blanket and what looked like a pitcher of fruit punch.

With the Cutie Mark Crusaders...

"What's a Wonderbolt doing in Ponyville?" Scootaloo demanded.

"Sis said that Princess Celestia hired Soarin to be Harry's flight instructor. I thought she was jokin'." Applebloom explained.

"Maybe Harry wants to join the Wonderbolts someday." Sweetie Belle suggested.

"No, that's Rainbow Dash remember, Harry's never shown any interest in becoming a Wonderbolt. Just their shows." Scootaloo reminded her two filly friends.

"This punch looks yummy. I'll have to thank Uncle Macintosh and Miss C. Later." Came Harry's voice to the 3 fillies horror.

The 3 fillies gasped and heard the clinking of glasses. "To friendship." Harry toasted.

"Friendship." Soarin agreed.

"NO!" The 3 fillies shouted too late. The alicorn and pegasi downed the love potion they created.

"But their both colts!" Sweetie Belle said. "How would that even work out?!"

"Uh...well..." Applebloom said nervously. She had accidentally seen a...for lack of a proper term, "cow orgy" last mating season. She had even seen a bull mounting another bull when all the females where taken and both had no partners. That was when Applejack had talked to her about the birds and the bees of foal making.

"On second thought, never mind." The unicorn filly shook her head. "Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts."

"Their...cuddling..." Scootaloo said in disdain.

"Schmoopsy whoopsy teddy bear." Harry cooed as their necks embraced.

"Schmoopsy moopsy pudding pie." Soarin cooed as he kissed Harry's ear."

"Yuck." Sweetie Belle said in clear grossed outedness.

"We need help." Applebloom said as Harry and Soarin walked into Ponyville together.

A short while later...

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Applejack shouted in the library making everypony outside look toward it. Including a earth pony with a hourglass cutie mark who had hearts hovering over his head at the sound of Applejack's voice.

"We didn't mean to hurt anypony." Sweetie Belle insisted.

"We just wanted to set up big brother with Miss Cherilee." Applebloom added.

"They did seem rather insistant that we get together." Cherilee admitted.

"Eeyup." The only stallion in the room agreed with his new marefriend.

"Uh, girls, what exactly did you put in this potion?" Twilight asked in a worried tone as she looked at the page the fillies said they found the potion. "I've never seen a love potion quite this shade of purple."

"Morning Dew." Sweetie Belle said.

"Rainbow Dust." Scootaloo added.

"And thre drops of Sunshine." Applebloom finished.

"Oh no!" Twilight gasped.

"How bad is it?" Rarity asked.

"You 3 didn't make a love POTION, you made a Love POISON!"

Everypony gasped except Big Macintosh who had blinked in shock. He knew what Love Poisons where. And they weren't good.

"...What's a love poison?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"A love poison is far more powerful and dangerous than a love potion." Twilight explained as she read the details of the two seperate potions. "While a love potion merely expands love between two ponies who already have feelings for the other, a love POISON intensifies those feelings to dangerous levels. To the point where they never want to stop staring into the others eyes. It was named a love poison because a Prince long ago gave this mixture to a Princess he loved by mistake instead of a love potion, and the two got lost in each other's eyes-"

"Aww, how romanti-"

"I'm not finished yet." Twilight interrupted Rarity. "They got so lost in each other's eyes that they neglected their respective Royal Duties and their empires fell completely apart!"

Everypony suddenly donned a nervous expression.

"So?" Sweretie Belle asked. "Harry and Soarin don't run empires."

"No, but they still got responsibilities!" Applebloom reminded her friend. "If Harry keeps starin' at Soarin, Granny Smith'll be broken down from all the extra chores he's supposed to do!"

She imagines dozens of brooms, mops and buckets burying Granny Smith.

"And if Soarin can't help the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash said in shock.

She imagines the Wonderbolts fighting a rampaging dragon which is beating them.

"WHERE IS SOARIN?" Spitfire demanded before being slashed out of the air by the dragon's tail.

"Ponyville could be flattened by a rampaging dragon!" The rainbow maned mare panicked.

In both fantasy's, Harry and Soarin where staring at each other's eyes. with heart's as pupils.

"We should probably see how bad the situation is." Cherille suggested to everypony else's agreement.

About ten minutes later, they found Harry and Soarin. They followed the two to Sugarcube Corner.

"You take the first sip Teddy Bear." Harry cooed over to Soarin. A cupcake milkshake in a heart shaped glass in honor of Hearts and Hooves Day sat between them on the table.

"No, you take the first sip Apple Pie." Soarin cooed back.

"This can't get more disturbing." Cherilee said as she and Big Macintosh watched fromt he window. She was clearly icking out over the scene.

"Nnope." Macintosh agreed. He had never seen his nephew act quite like this before. He never wanted to again. Harry had had a small crush on his little friend Shady Daze a couple years ago, but it had passed.

"No you." Harry said, pushing the straw toward Soarin.

"No you." Soarin said, repeating the action but to Harry.

Both adults made grossed out expressions and left the window to report their findings.

"How bad is it?" Applejack asked a short trip back to the library later.

"Its pretty bad." Cherilee said.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh agreed before shuddering. "AJ, if I ever act like that, buck me in the face."

With the CMC upstairs...

"I feel guilty." Sweetie Belle said.

"I feel worse." Scootaloo added.

"I feel doubly guilty." Applebloom said. "Harry's my nephew! I'm supposed to look out for him!" "

"There's a cure!" They heard Twilight say. "We just need to keep Harry and Soarin apart for at least...one hour."

"Should be easy enough." Applejack said. "We'll just say we need Harry's help back at the farm and lock him in the barn or somethin'."

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh nodded in agreement with his little sister.

"And we can help with Soarin." Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash had flown as fast as she could to Wonderbolt Academy and explained the situation to her. She and another Wonderbolt stallion where awaiting orders.

"No problem." The stallion agreed with a smile.

"Then let's do it." Applejack said with a grin.

"Harry!" Applebloom called over to Harry who was cuddling on a bench with his "Teddy Bear." "Harry!"

"What?!" Harry hissed at his aunt. Applebloom looked slightly taken aback.

"We need you back at the farm. There's an emergency! Applejack's hurt!"

"Momma's hurt?" Harry gasped. "Teddy, I don't wanna go." Harry said as he leaned into Soarin."

"Oh brother." Sweetie Belle groaned.

"Soarin, Wonderbolt Emergency in Cloudsdale." Spitfire said sharply to the young stallion. "Time to move out."

The two looked at each other longingly and left with their groups.

"So what happens when they find out these emergency's are fake?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Let's hope they don't." Applebloom said.

"Mommy's in the barn? What happened?!" Harry demanded in a panicky voice.

"She fell off a hay bale and broke her leg." Applebloom said casually.

"Mommy!" Harry yelled running into the barn.

"Now!"

Big Macintosh and Applejack slammed the barn door's shut and Big Macintosh sat in front of them.

"Mommy's not in here!"

"This is fer your own good." Big Macintosh said through the doors.

"Uncle Macintosh?" There was a brief shove. "OPEN THIS BARN DOOR!"

"Nnope." The red stallion said firnly. Pushing his back against the door.

"OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW! I WANT MY TEDDY BEAR!" Harry said hitting the door rapidly with his hooves.

"Sorry sugarcube, but its for your own good." Applejack said through the door next to Big Macintosh.

"Mommy?" Harry asked in confusion. "Mommy help! Uncle Macintosh is keeping me from my Teddy!"

"Is he serious? Teddy Bear?" Applejack asked her big brother.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied with a sweatdrop.

BANG. The doors surged slightly.

"Aww dang. His Earth Pony strength is comin' in." Applejack said in alarm. She sat in front with her brother. Hoping to reinforce the door.

Cloudsdale Wonderbolts Police Department Interrogation Unit...

"So what's the emergency? Are we interrogating a suspect or something?" Soarin' asked as Spitfire led him into an interrogation room.

"Nope." Spitfire said before slamming the door and locking it with magic.

"Its a trap!" Soarin said. "Spitfire! Open this door right now!"

"This is for your own good kid. We're not letting you throw your career away!"

"LET ME OUT RIGHT NOW!" Soarin bucked at the door. "Sweetie Pie!" He bucked again.

"Ugh." The unnamed stallion said. "He's really got the hots for that kid doesn't he?"

"Sweetie Pie!" Soarin called from the room in disdain.

"Eeyup." Spitfire agreed. "Just sit tight. one hour and it'll all be over."

An 55 minutes later...

"He's been quiet." Applejack commented. Harry had stopped trying to escape about forty five minutes later.

"Too quiet." Big Macintosh agreed.

"You guys do remember that I've got unicorn magic right?" Came Harry's voice from inside. Both Earth Pony's perked up.

"Oh my Celestia." Applejack said in a stunned voice. A magical aura surrounded the side of the barn and Harry walked through it.

"Sweetie Pie!" Came Soarin's voice from Ponyville.

"Teddy Bear!" Harry shouted as he ran towards Soarin's voice.

"Come on big brother." Applejack said as she ran after her son.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said with a nod and ran after his nephew with her to stop him.

"Sweeie Pie!" Soarin said eagerly as he saw Harry.

"Teddy Bear!" Harry cried happily as he ran toward the older colt. They jumped into each other's embrace, over a pit...

WHAM

Ding...ding...ding...ding...It was four o'clock. One hour had passed.

The Mane 6, CMC, Big Mac and Cherilee looked down into the pit.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders Pit diggers!" Applebloom said eagerly.

"Nice job girls." Cherilee praised the 3 fillies. "That might just have saved them."

"Ohh. My head." Harry groaned. "Where are we?" Harry asked Soarin.

"I think...we're in a pit." Soarin said. He looked up and saw the ponies staring at them.

"Momma, why are Soarin and I at the bottom of a pit?" Harry asked Applejack.

"Applebloom will explain." Applejack said sternly with a look at her little sister.

"You may have drunk what you thought was fruit punch, that was supposed to be a love potion, but turned out to be a love poison." Sweetie Belle said down to Harry and Soarin.

"We're sorry Harry, you and Soarin weren't supposed to drink it. We just wanted to set up Big Brother with Miss Cherilee." Applebloom said.

"You drank it by mistake and may have grossed out half of Ponyville with your over eager happiness with each other." Scootaloo added.

"We're sorry." All 3 said at the same time.

Harry and Soarin looked at each other. "We'll forgive you." Soarin told the 3 fillies. "And you'll all do Harry's chores at Sweet Apple Acres for one week. Does that sound fair to you Harry?" He asked his student.

"Eeyup." Harry smiled.

The adult ponies all phwewed. The crisis was over.

Three days later, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom where each given a mop, broom or sponge. See, Harry helped Granny Smith with the Housework since she was getting on in years. He swept the downstairs, mopped the kitchen, and cleaned the counters.

"Hows it going?" Soarin asked.

"Well we won't be giving anypony any love potions OR poisons anytime soon." Sweetie Belle said.

"Soarin's taking me to see The Hobbit." Harry said eagerly.

"Don't wait up." Soarin teased as the two left the 3 fillies to their shock.

"NOOOoooo!" The 3 filllies shouted thinking they where still under the effect of the love poison not seeing Harry wink at Soarin after he said that.
