I finally have finished putting up the banner for this year's Hearts and Hooves Day Bash for Ponyville. For every nail I put up was a remembrance for every mare that I have lost. It's not like they died or anything, it's just complicated. There were lots of heartbreaks and  lots of long-distant relationships that didn't work out. After these five break-ups, I've never wanted to fall in love again. Everything was perfect for the celebration, but Pinkie asked me to hang up posters by the train station.

My feet were hurting from all the dancing from my recent concert. I am one who creates music and is a DJ at local clubs. Many of my fans are attracted to me, but I just don't feel that special spark with them. I finally made it to the train station with the tape and tons of posters. It didn't help that a train pulled in, and I had to work with a ton of other chatting ponies and smoke from the train itself.

There was this one poster that would not stay on correctly. I had to put more than six nails in it! After finally getting it to stay, I turned around. The moment I turned around was the moment that changed my life forever. I saw a mare come out, and it wasn't any ordinary mare. Her purple and lime green mane flowed in the wind. Her skin reflected off Celestia's light. I loved the way her eyes glistened like the stars in space.

I felt a sudden worry when my heart started beating. It could only mean one thing: I was in love.

I never wanted to fall in love again, but I couldn't fight my temptations to talk to her. I had to pause a couple times to think: What am I going to say? Will she think I'm charming? What if she rejects me? What if...At that moment, she called out to me saying, "Excuse me Mister, but could you tell me which way is Ponyville's town hall? My hoof shook as I pointed the way. The next thing I said, not thinking at all, was, "Could I be of any assistance? I have been in this town a long time." She politely allowed me to take her luggage. The only thing on my mind was her, and if this who relationship and then break-up thing is going to happen again...
