A Very Special Somepony
Chapter 1: A New Day

The sun rose up on another beautiful day in the land of Equestria. The birds chirped as they flew through the sky, and everypony begins to slowly wake up to start their day. Among these ponies was a particular purple unicorn, and a sleepy little dragon. Twilight Sparkles sluggishly opened her eyes. She had just had the most wonderful dream about magic and studying and winning the Equestria peace prize for all of her magic accomplishments.

“What a wonderful dream” she thought as she crawled out of bed. “But that’s enough dreaming. Spike! Spike! It’s Time to get up”.

Twilight went to the resting place of her sleeping little helper. He seemed so peaceful just lying there, curled upped in his blanket. It was a shame that she had to wake him up.

“Spike, she said. “This is your last warning, I don’t want to have to wake you again.” The dragon just rolled over, as if to ignore her.

“Well, can’t say I didn’t warn him” she sighed. She began to focus and her horn soon began to glow with magical power. Soon a large glass of water is levitated into the room. Twilight looked at the dragon one last time, sighed, and poured the entire glass onto Spike.

“WHAAA H-H-HEY” squealed the dragon, as he bolted up, wide awake from the chill of the ice water. “Why d-d-did you do that T-Twilight?” he muttered, still cold from the water.

“Well what did you want me to do, we have a lot of things to do today” she said. “first we have to first make a check-list of what we need to put on the checklist , then we have to make that check-list, then we should double check that checklist…..”

As the unicorn went on, spike just blankly ignored her. He walked into the kitchen giving a huge yawn as he checked the calendar on their fridge. Spikes eyes widened as he looked at the date.

“Hey Twilight, what day is it today?” spikes asked his friend.

“Ummmm” she thought. “I believe that it is the seventh today, yes the seventh”.

“Oh my god!” he screamed; as he quickly ran pass Twilight and strait up stairs.

“Spike! What are you doing, we have a schedule to keep!” the purple mare barked. “Spike, answer me mister!”

“It’s almost here, it’s almost here. Hearts and hooves day is almost here.” Spiked sang as he dug through a trunk of his stuff. After some searching he finally pulled out a shiny gemstone.

It was the most beautiful diamond that anypony has ever seen ever. It was about the size of an apple, but it was cut to be in the shape of heart, it shone like the many colors of the rainbow, and sparkled like the stars.

“Wow" said Twilight, mesmerized by the diamond’s enhancing glow. “Where did you get a diamond like this?”

“Oh I’ve been growing it for almost a year now” he said. “I’ve been waiting all year to give it to my ‘special somepony’.”

Twilight giggled to herself, knowing exactly who this mysterious pony was. “Well I’m sure Rarity will love it, but hearts and hooves day isn’t here for another week.”

“Yeah well, I’m just so excited!”

“Well, I am happy for you spike. But we need to get on with our day.” She began to say. “We have to-“

“Awwwwwwww” moaned Spike. “Can’t it wait until after the party, I was really hoping to get some cake in me before we started working.”

“Party? What party?”

“You know the special hearts and hooves day party at Sugarcube Corner” said Spike. “It’s, like the only thing that Pinkie Pie has been talking about for the last month.”

“OH, NO!” shrieked Twilight. She had completely forgotten about the hearts and hooves day warm up party. “Oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no!”

Spike jumps on the screaming Twilight. “Twilight calm down!” he scorned as he shakes the pony into submission.
Just then there was a knock on the door.

“Hello?” said a familiar southern accent. “Twi, Spike, are you guys okay?”

“Oh, come in Applejack!” shouted Twilight, having settled down from before.

“Thanks” said the orange cowpony. “We were all just makin sure you didn’t go and forget about the party.”

“Oh thank you Applejack, to be completely honest, we kinda did” blushed Twilight.

Spike frowned. “What do you mean we?”

Ignoring the dragon Twilight went back to Applejack. “So sorry it’s just that I have to make my list to make my list, and then I have to make that list and then do the things that are on that list.” She takes a deep breath. “And then we have to double check the list and then we have to-“

“Whoa there sugar cube, don’t overdo it” said Applejack, giving her friend a concern work. “You know this here party may work wonders fer ya. May teach ya to unwind a little.”

“Hey!” growled Twilight. “What are you saying?”

“Ummmmm” stammered Applejack as she looked to her hooves. “Nothin”

“Applejack”

“What”

“What are you saying?”

Applejack sighed. “It’s just that you can be a little…… uptight sometimes is all.”

“What!” roared Twilight. “I am not uptight!”

“Sugarcube, you…..you kinda are”

“Okay” Twilight thought. “Name one time that I have ever been uptight about anything.”

“Oh Twilight don’t make me do this” begged Apple jack.

Twilight looked furiously at her friend, staring daggers at her; she was going to get an answer from her.
“Well Applejack, I’m waiting.”

“Well” said Applejack. “There was that time you got all worked up about missing the due date of yer letter so you tried to create problems for you to solve.”

“Oh…..right” said Twilight.

“And then there was that other time you tried to-“

“I only needed one example, Applejack” twilight said, rolling her eyes.

“Oh, heheh, yeah,”

“Hey if you two are done chatting” said Spike, who has been patiently waiting for the two mares to stop talking. “I would like to go to the party sometime today maybe.”

“Oh my your right Spike” said Twilight looking at the time. “We should get going immediately.”

A look of relief from both Applejack and Spike, the trio finally heads out the door.

“Hey Twilight” said Applejack as they were walking into ponyville. “Look I don’t want y’all to be mad at me, it’s just that ya can be a little uptight, but all I want is for y’all you to be and be happy.”

“It’s okay Applejack” Twilight smiles back towards Applejack, putting her at ease. “And maybe your right, this party may be the thing I need to have a little fun.”

The two ponies laugh as they head towards the party at Sugarcube corner, wondering what was in store for them when they got there.
