Previous Chapter Next Chapter-Narrative-
Hearts and Hooves Day… The day where ponies spent their time with their loved ones. This was the day that both Sunset and Twilight were to finally bring their relationship into full circle. The setting takes place first in Twilight’s Castle.
Sunset’s POV
Today is the day… Hearts and Hooves Day… I begged for this day to come. I looked down to see Twilight Sparkle in the same position with me as the nights before. She was still pinning me down but I didn’t mind because her warmth was like a blanket filled with love.
I can see her eyes moving slightly so she will be awake soon. I gentle whisper in her ear; “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day Twilight, I’m going to make this the best day you’ve ever experienced.” I see her ear twitch which was very cute.
I managed to escape her grip on me and walk to the bathroom to get ready for today’s special events. As I come out the bathroom I see Twilight waiting there. “Oh sorry Twilight did you want to-“ she nodded. “Well I’m done anyways see you in the throne room. She just nods again like she was very tired. She went in and I can hear the shower running. ‘So she needed to wake up after all.’
I go to the throne room and see Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Princess Celestia, and the other girls around the throne room. “What’s up everypony?” I begin to ask hoping to gain some answers.
“Well Sunset, we’re all going to wish you and Twilight a very happy Hearts and Hooves day.” Cadence stated sounding very cheerful. I can see a mare and a stallion from the corner of my eye. One had the same mane scheme as Twilight’s but a different color, and the other didn’t seem to fit Twilight’s description as well as the mare. My assumptions only tell me that these must be her parents.
“There’s the mare of the hour!” I can hear her mother as she walks up to me and examines me. It made me feel VERY uncomfortable but I managed. “I can see why Twilight is so fond of you now. I’m Twilight Velvet, Twilight’s Mom and over there is Twilight father.” He gives a simple wave with Twilight’s signature smile. I wave back with the same gesture. Twilight Velvet gives me a hug which I return the favor. I begin to comprehend all of which is going on.
“Are you all here so I can meet Twilight’s parents because if so then having so many of you isn’t that necessary-“ Celestia put a hoof in front of me to indicate a ‘Stop Talking’ motion.
“We are all here like Cadence said to wish you a wonderful Hearts and Hooves Day and also we all have high hopes that your day goes as successful as you planned it to be. I’ll fill you in on something… In Ponyville they always host a fair for the holiday so I recommend to try your efforts there. If not then try to find some location to try but be noted of how Twilight is.” I nod to her then spoke before she did.
“That is all fine and I thank you guys. Everyone. For the support. But I think I know what to do in terms of getting Twilight.” They all listened in to my plan as I whispered it as fear of Twilight coming into the room. To ruin it in some degree.

Twilight’s POV
I enter the bathroom right after Sunset did I was tired. Very tired. But as I turn on the shower and splashed some cold water in my face I started to be more alert and awake. I begin to think of how to win Sunset over she clearly likes me in a sense to push forward my efforts but I think I went a little too far a few days ago. A Shimmering Sunset like her will take a lot of effort to win over especially how she’s Celestia’s Daughter which will both decrease and increase my chances in a way.
I step into the shower and leave my mind into a thinking state that plans out my intentions.
8 minutes later…
I step out of the shower and dry myself off. I walk out of the bathroom follow the sound of multiple voices within the throne room one of the being Sunset. I follow the voices and duck and cover for when I saw who was there. My mother and father, all the Princesses and the girls. I can see Pinkie Pie scan the room as if she knew I was here but didn’t completely search the place. I can them talk about things like “I can see why Twilight is fond of you.” And I can hear Princess Celestia explain to Sunset certain things that I couldn’t comprehend at first but understood it at the end.
So Sunset does love me a lot then I expected. This hearts and Hooves Day will be a breeze. I can feel a strong magical presence surround me as I’m levitated up. It had a golden aura around it which can only mean that Celestia was levitating me up. I can see all their faces concentrated on me as if I’ve been caught in some big scheme. I’m placed down next to Sunset Shimmer who I rub against.
Celestia walked up forward then the rest who just stood back. “Sunset Simmer and Twilight Sparkle we will all be leaving now and on behalf of everyone here in this room we all wish you a very special Hearts and a Hooves Day and we all hope you meet your Very Special Somepony. “ They all nodded in agreement as they all left the room my parents stood behind however. I look at them both and they stared at me with the same feeling. My father cleared his throat and stepped up.
“I don’t know nor understand ‘This’ but if you’re happy Twille then I’m happy too. You both have our blessings.” They both walked out of the room and closed the main castle doors behind them. Both I and Sunset stood in the throne room the silence that was left behind soon filled the whole room as neither of us said anything.

Sunset broke the silence. “So… Do you want to go to the Hearts and Hooves Fair Twilight?” Twilight’s face lit up with a very ‘Yes, yes, yes!!!’ expression. Before Twilight could even attempt at doing it Sunset held her down. “None of that please.” Twilight looked disappointed, Sunset could bare to see her sad. “Fine.” Twilight jumped up and down while making an orbital ring around Sunset.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!” Sunset could help but smile. If it’s one thing Sunset loved to see is Twilight smile.
“Twilight if you keep doing this we won’t get to the fair early so we can see all the attractions.” She stopped mid-air and grabbed Sunset’s hoof and ran out the door.
The fair wasn’t as crowed so the attractions barely had any lines to watch or ride. Twilight looked at one ride. “The Tunnel of Love… Ohh Sunset let’s go in there.” Sunset stared at the ride with eager anticipation but then she realized something.
“Sorry Twilight that’s for couples only, we’re not a couple ‘At least not yet’ and it would be very awkward riding something that is meant for something we’re not.” This sadden Twilight. ‘I thought we WERE a couple’ she thought as a small tear came out of her eye.
Sunset didn’t notice as they went through all the games and had a lot of fun in the process they even won some prizes. Even though the fair is very small they had a lot of fun. But this didn’t stop Twilight from shedding some tears. She mostly hid them from Sunset but they were too much to bare. With Sunset denying all the couple rides and attractions she could let her plan go into effect it’s like Sunset didn’t even like Twilight in that way.
