“Spike? Spike. Spike!”

With a frustrated sigh, Twilight headed downstairs to search for her lazy assistants. The search didn´t take long since Spike was at the front door, talking with Apple Bloom. They seemed to be arguing, again. Twilight was about to interrupted when she noticed that Apple Bloom was blushing while handling Spike a big box.

“Oh right, it´s Hearts and Hooves Day,” Twilight remembered and tried to suppress a giggle.

After a few more passionate exchanges, Apple Bloom ran off the library and left Spike alone to figure out what had just happened.

“What is her problem? Oh hey chocolates!”

Twilight rolled her eyes and was ready to impart some necessary big sister knowledge when the door knocked again.

“Oh hi Sweetie Belle!”

“Hi Spike! Was Apple Bloom here just a second ago?”

“Yeah, she dropped by just to yell at me, like usual….”

“Could it be?” Twilight wondered, noticing how Sweetie held her sight on Spike.

“Oh and she tossed me this box of chocolates. I think she´s crazy but hey, free food, “ Spike said.

“Oh so she gave you chocolates…”

“Yeah, hey what´s that in your saddlebags?”

“Umh I made you a cake. You probably won´t want it…”

“Sweet! I love cake!

“You do?” Sweetie almost teleported out of joy and Twilight giggled out loud.

Spike was about to say something when Sweetie interrupted him, “I made this cake specially for you, Spike. It has a message on it.”

“What, you put a scroll inside it? That´s just weird.”

“Just read it!” the little unicorn said and ran off, bouncing in joy.

“Weird. Must be a pony thing…” Spike opened the box containing the cake and took a look at the sweet. “It has something written but I can´t make out what it says. Sweetie really needs better control of her horn or an assistant like me!”

Twilight now was ready to come down and help him when the door knocked a third time. Spike opened it and found another package and saw the fleeting silhouette of a scooter.

“Scootaloo?”

“I wasn´t here!” the filly shouted down the street.

Spike shrugged it off and took the package but before he could get inside, he was interrupted by Silver Spoon.

“Hey you, dragon!”

“My name is Spike!”

“Whatever. Diamond Tiara wants you to have like these cookies she made.” Diamond Tiara coughed from behind SIlver Spoon and she corrected herself “I mean, that her maid made because, she obviously doesn't make food and wants you to like have them.”

“Thanks, I guess…”

Spike took the bag of cookies but before leaving Silver Spoon dragged him close and handled him a second bag, saying nothing to him but blushing a little.

“What´s up with all the fillies in town?” Spike asked out loud.

“Spike, you really don´t understand what´s going on?”

“Oh hi Twilight, look, we have tons of free sweets! Cool, right?”

Twilight sighed again. “Spike, don´t you see what all these fillies are saying to you?”

“They´re not saying anything, they're just dropping food at the door. Not that I´m complaining…”

Twilight sighed a third time and then noticed Twist standing in the doorway. She magically grabbed her trail of candies and then shut the door on her face.

“Spike, today is Hearts and Hooves Day. You know, the day where love is celebrated in Equestria…”

Spike was obviously not following.

“When a pony ask another pony to be her or his very special somepony…”

“But I´m not a pony. I´m a dragon.”

“Spike, just think.”

Spike took a minute but finally it hit him. “Oh. So that means….”

“Precisely.”

“That Rarity is going to gave me chocolates!”

Twilight wings slapped against her face. “No! It means you have to decide which of these ponies is your very special somepony!”

“What you mean between Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?”

“And don´t forget Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara.”

“And me!” a voice said from behind the door but they ignore it.

“But I cant choose! I mean I like them all the same. Well, maybe not the same. Maybe if i try their different gifts…”

“Spike, you can´t choose a date based on food!”

Spike wasn't listening. “Sweetie´s cake is delicious but Diamond´s cookies aren´t that bad. Agh, Scootaloo burnt her muffins but they´re still tasty and this chocolates are great. So are these candy canes!”

“Thanks!”

“Oh what I´m going to do Twilight? I can't decide!”

“Well, look at the bright side,” Twilight said.

“Which is?”

“At least you don´t have anymore to choose from.”

“Hi Twilight! Hi Spike! I just made you these cupcakes!

Spike fainted while Twilight sighed, deciding to not ask Pinkie how she managed to come out from behind a bookshelf.
