I awoke to a crash from one of the library wings. My eyes shot open and I was greeted by a blinding orb of raging flames to wake me more. I groaned and sat upright. I really didn't feel like getting up from last night's run. I looked to the clock on my nightstand.

"11:21 AM..." I stated to no one in particular.

I then looked at the wall across from the bed. I stared at the calendar. It was the 3rd of March, a Saturday according to Earth time. I was halfway to my laying down, wanting sleep position when I remembered something. Today was my 21st birthday. I was so content and busy in Equestria I forgot my own birthday. I also forgot Twilight wasn't next to me.

I hopped out of bed and quickly got a change of clothes with a towel. I headed down the hall and into the bathroom. I swiftly undressed, bathed, and dried myself before dressing. I started downstairs and noticed all the blinds were closed and the room was pitch black. Once I stepped off the stairs I felt my way around the wall. I closed my fingers around the switch then flipped it on.

"Say Jeff,"

I slowly turned around. I knew that voice.

"What happens when a guy forgets his friends?" I heard Dean say as I finished turning around to see my three friends.

"They beat some sense into him." Jeff replied with a mischievous smile. The pair then looked to Mark. I was stunned to see them all.

"Makes sense..." Mark said then walked to me. He banged my head on the wall.

"What the hell?" I said as I came to my senses.

"Did you forget us?" Jeff asked me.

"Never!" I countered with a chuckle.

"Happy birthday, Zach!" I heard six voices come from a door to another library wing.

"So, do you like it?" I was greeted with a very excited Pinkie Pie, who wore a huge smile. She was right in my face, her nose pressed against mine.

"I love it, Pinkie." I answered ecstatically. I hugged her tightly and she responded the same.

"All this wasn't my idea. It was hers!" Pinkie said and pointed to the door. Celestia stood there.

"So, you did all this for me, Princess?" I asked while bowing for a brief moment.

"Yes, I did. My student told me how much your species 21st birthday means." Celestia said smiling at me then Twilight. Twilight had that tiny blush I knew all to well.

"Well, thanks. I don't plan to get drunk and I think Twilight wouldn't like it if I came home drunk." I said.

"Then why the hell did we go here!?" Jeff yelled and Fluttershy flinched at the sound.

"Wait...I have an idea." Dean said.

"Eh?" I responded with a lot of curiosity.

"Extremes..." Dean spoke softly.

"Hell yeah!" Jeff said with a boom.

"I'm game." Mark agreed.

I nodded in agreement.

"What are extremes?" Twilight asked, full of curiosity. That is the Twilight Sparkle I know.

"Let us show you instead of just telling you." I said.

"I'll start us off." Dean said.

"Why should you go first!?" Jeff argued.

"He did come up with the idea." Mark proved a point.

"I got it." Dean said then whispered in my ear as well as the others.

"Hell nah! I am NOT doing that!" I refused.

"You have to." Mark said and then left to go do what he needed.

"I'll go get those books taken care of." Jeff said.

"Oh great..." I really didn't want to do my extreme.

Jeff walked up to Celestia and whispered in her ear. She smiled before lighting her horn and teleporting all of us out of the library except Jeff and herself.

"What happened?! Where are we!?" Rarity panicked.

"The outskirts of Ponyville from the looks of it. But why did Princess Celestia teleport us out?" Twilight questioned aloud.

"We can't say. Zach, you better get started on your extreme." Dean responded.

"Ugh, must I?" I complained.

"Yes, you have to!" Dean boomed.

"What is your 'extreme' anyways?" Twilight asked.

"Can't say." I responded quickly and simply.

"Darling, we are all dying to know." Rarity said with eye flutter.

"It's...Twilight can tell you all about it," I sighed,"almost forgot." I remembered Fluttershy was carrying the bangle. I walked to her.

"What is it, Zach?" She asked me and the others were looking at us oddly.

"The box...do you have it with you?" I asked.

"Yes, right here." Fluttershy said and dug it out of her pink flowing mane and handed it to me with her wing. I quickly buried it into my pocket.

"Thanks, Fluttershy. I can count on you." I said with a hug. I turned back to the group.

"I have to get my extreme done. Soooo...bye." I said then sprinted back to the library. I opened the door and what I saw surprised me.

Books were all over the floor and Celestia was looking out the window while Jeff was rearranging books and hiding them.

"What the hell?" I asked with a dumbfounded look that I involuntarily had and knew it.

"Hey, Zach. Just doing some remodeling fo ya. The Princess is helping me." Jeff said while he ran around the library constantly.

"I have my fun once in a while as well. I need to relax after a week full of royal duties." Celestia said while still staring out the window.

"Well, I'll be back so I can get mine over with." Isaid.

"What is your extreme anyway?" Jeff asked.

"Twilight can tell you all about it..." I said as I headed up stairs, "when she gets here send her into the room and don't let anyone else in." I said.

"Aye Aye, Capn'." Jeff said with a ridiculous salute manuever that was for comedy rather than emphasis and returned to rearranging the books. I entered Twilight's and my bedroom. I saw Spike napping. I shook him a little with intense need to rush.

"Huh? What do you want, today is my day off?" He asked irritably.

"I need you to nap somewhere else. I have something important to do...alone." I replied.

"Fine..." He moved his basket out of the room.

I then went to work by moving everything not aesthetic and attractive to the eyes under the bed or behind a piece of furniture. I exited and put a note that read 'Do NOT Disturb' on the door in red letters before I walked down stairs.

"Hey, Zach. Where ya off to?" Jeff asked.

"To go get some roses and scented candles...for my extreme." I answered and he froze and looked at me. Celestia did the same. They both had the same look of shock.

"So...your extreme is to be in a very," she coughed for a moment," sexual pose that will affect my faithful student's emotions?" Celestia asked.

"Nailed it..." I said and ran out the door and through Ponyville.

I kept running until I reached the outskirts of town and started coming up to the exotic flower shop. I quickly entered.

A pony with a deep velvet mane and tail with a pure white coat rose from behind the counter. She was just a normal earth pony which was fitting.

"Hello, Zach. I haven't seen you ever come near my store. So, what's got you in a hurry and what can I do to help?" She asked with a smile.

"I...just need some...roses..." I said during my fit of panting.

" I am guessing they are for Twilight. How many, four, eight, a dozen, two dozen?" She asked.

"A dozen and a half." I said and she grabbed nine red and nine purple roses.

"Two hundred bits..." She said as she wrapped them in a bouquet.

"Here you are." I dug through my pocket and pulled out two bags(enchanting, eh?) that held the label '1H' on them," you don't have to give me the more rare purple roses." I said and she shook her head.

"Consider it a gift. That and a lot of ponies like the idea that Twilight is finally getting out and meeting some stallions." She said while I took them.

"Thanks, and while I'm at it, do you know any good candle shops, also could I borrow three vases?" I asked.

"Yes, I do. It is a little ways into town and the owner is Flicker Flame." She said and handed me the vases in a bag.

"Thanks!" I said as I started to run out the door.

"Come back soon!" She yelled after me.

I quickly ran back to the library without damaging the vases. I ran by Twilight and the others fast on the way back.

"Zach! Wait!" I heard Twilight shout behind me, I felt the need to go back, but knew she would like the surprise and decided to keep going on, speeding up.

I opened and slammed the library door.

"What's the rush, bud?" Jeff asked as he was about to leave the library. I saw Celestia sitting on the couch, reading a Daring Do book.

"Twilight and the others are almost here. Could you guys hold them off while I get some candles." I said and ran up the stairs.

"No problem." Jeff said and went to the window.

"Happy to help a friend." Celestia said joyfully while reading.

I ran into the bedroom and scattered rose petals over the floor and the bed as well as other flat surfaces. I placed petals in front of the door and then put the purple roses in the vases. I placed one vase on the floor next to the bed. The next I put on the nightstand, and the last I put in front of the door. I kept a single purple rose on me and sprinted down and out of the library.

I passed Twilight and the group, but Rainbow Dash was missing for some reason. I was tackled a moment later. I hid the rose inside my shirt.

"I got him!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Good job, Rainbow." Applejack praised as they ran up to me. I started struggling.

"Only natural." Rainbow boasted.

"Don't git a big head on your shoulders." Applejack responded.

"Let me go!" I yelled drawing attention back to me.

"Not until you tell us why you ran past us." Rarity said.

"Because..." I really didn't want to say a thing about it.

"Because why?" Rainbow demanded.

I sighed and gave in,"Because...only Twilight should see it and should experience it. It isn't appropriate to speak about it to you all. Now let me go so I can finish it." I said and Rainbow was nudged off of me by Twilight. I rolled, stood, and blasted off into a sprint down some Ponyville streets.

I saw a shop with candles in it and quickly ran through the door, thinking it was owned by Flicker Flame which it was when I looked at the sign. I surprised a customer and alerted the owner as I ran right up to the front counter.

"I need lavender scented candles that are short and tall normal candles, six each." I blurted out in one breath and Flicker Flame quickly got the candles and from the shelves using his magic to get it over to us. I noticed that the customer left when I ran in, he must of been one of the ponies that didn't like me being a human and all.

"Sixty bits..." He said still shocked from my ~~graceful~~ entrance. I handed him a bag of bit that was marked '50' with ten loose bits. I grabbed the candles that he put in a bag and sprinted out.

I was sweating hard as I entered the library. Twilight wasn't here yet and Jeff was staring out the window.

"Send Twilight up when she gets here, only her." I said to him running up the stairs.

"I feel her presence getting closer." Celestia said and finished reading.

I quickly put three scented candles on the floor, one on the nightstand, and one on the dresser. I placed four tall candles on the floor and one on the nightstand with its pal on the dresser.

I heard the library door open and then quickly undressed completely and put the clothes away[I'm quite a vivid writer, aren't I?]. I then got a red sheet and took off the 'Do Not Disturb' sign. I put the blinds down and lit all the candles. I then laid on the bed and covered my crotch with the sheet. I heard Twilight outside the door.

"Zach..." Twilight said as she opened the door and her jaw dropped when she saw me twiddling the single purple rose in my left hand.

"Hi...Twilight. Come over here and have a seat." I said smiling at her while she closed her jaws, shut the door, and walked over. She sat on the other side of me with small pupils.

"W-w-what are you...doing?" Twilight asked, her eyes darting over my body.

"My extreme. This is something humans rarely do with the person they love." I said and noticed crimson reds under her fur. I pulled her close to me, hugging her. She sniffed the air.

"I-is that l-lavender?" Twilight stuttered out. I had my leg over hers.

"Yep.." I said softly," Do you like it?"

"I-I-I really don't know what t-to say." Twilight responded.

"You don't have to say a thing." I whispered in her ear with a love-filled tone then tenderly kissed her passionately upon the lips.

She relaxed and closed her eyes melting into the kiss. I felt my heart swarming with love and felt hers doing the same. We held that kiss for a long moment that seemed to never end. I wished it didn't end, but all great things must come to an end. We parted and Twilight still held a small blush.and me the same as we had huge smiles on our faces and stared intently into each other's eyes.

[Insert Quick Clop Scene Here]

"I love you, Twi." I said my voice filled with immense passion for her.

"I love you, too, Zachy." Twilight said with the same affection.

"Let's go downstairs..." I said and she nodded. I stood and let the sheet drop from my hips as I dressed in boxers, jeans, and a normal T-shirt. We both wore a small blush on our cheeks that accompanied a dopey smile.

I quickly retrieved the black box that held the bangle in it and put it in my back pocket, not letting Twilight se it. I blew out all the candles and left the room with my hand on Twilight's shoulder and her head leaning on my side. We still kept that position and smiles as we went downstairs and greeted the princesses with our friends.

"So...What was it!? What was it!?" Pinkie bounced up and down in front of us with a huge smile.

"Special...something very special..." Twilight said dreamily.

"Just look in the bedroom if you really want to know...just don't ask about it." I said and everypony rushed up the stairs followed by the princesses, which I noticed Luna had arrived to see what Celestia was up to. They all gasped, excluding the royalty, when one opened the door.
