Snips, still cowering, looked at his faithful, but slightly dumb, companion Snails. He shivered, and after watching his friend not step in or help, Snips stood on the table in the middle of the circle. He looked at Diamond Tiara.

"I said, truth or dare?" she repeated, giving the unicorn an angry stare.

"I choose..." he looked around at the crowd, knowing they would all be bored if he chose truth.

"TRUTH!" he exclaimed, watching Apple Bloom's face of boredom appear quickly. He gave a confused look around, and then cleared his throat.

"Now, what is my... truth..."

Diamond Tiara stood there, thinking a while. She pondered over options.

Ask him if he wears diapers at night? No, everypony knows he does that already. Ask him if he actually knows any magic? Duh, of course he doesn't! Umm... ask him if he has a crush on Apple Bloom?

"Do you..." began the pink filly, her blue eyes fluttering over to his rump, wondering if he actually wore diapers. Then her eyes went over to his horn, thinking if he knew any spells. But what she really wondered is that if he had a crush on Apple Bloom.

Diamond Tiara had seen the little colt put a card on her desk every Hearts and Hooves Day. He always explained to her how to solve math problems, or walked home with her. Even though the only reason they usually talked was because the little twerp and Snails never watched where they were going and they bumped into Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, when they did, Snips was always polite. He always let her play with him at recess, and was proud to help her with her homework. Did Snips really like Apple Bloom? And if he did, why of all reasons? Diamond Tiara looked at Snips, who was looking straight into her eyes with his black, round ones. His little buckteeth stuck out, making Diamond Tiara wonder how Snips would kiss his future filly-friend. And would that future filly-friend end up being Apple Bloom? Diamond Tiara looked around the room to see Twist's large, pink eyes stare at Snips. Everypony's eyes were either on him, or on her. She noticed, luckily, that Rumble's cute, purple eyes were on her.

"Okay, I got it." she said, and a few ponies like Archer and Aura cheered.

"My question is," she started, trying to create all the suspense she could.

"Snips, do you..." when she saw that everypony's eyes were as wide as golf balls, waiting to hear the question, she spit it out quickly.

"Wear diapers at night, actually know any magic, or have a crush on Apple Bloom?"

Apple Bloom stood up and said,

"Hold on! Was this actually part of the game? Can she do this?"

Snips looked at Apple Bloom, and saw Diamond Tiara usher her to sit back down.

"No, I don't wear diapers at night anymore." he said, receiving only a small cheer from Snails. Everypony else either snickered at his bravery to say "anymore" or just had a weirded-out look on their little faces.

"And I don't really know a lot of magic, I don't." he confessed, only to receive a "Boo! You suck!" from Snails, which just made Snips give him an angry look.

"And," he gulped. "The last question."

From the other way around the circle, Diamond Tiara saw Apple Bloom's pink cheeks and Scootaloo holding her back. Sweetie Belle's eyes were open wide, but a frowny face remained.

"I, uhh..." Snips gulped again, a bead of sweat rolling down the right side of his chubby face.

"I had a crush on Apple Bloom since the first day I met her. I'd love it if she was my filly-friend. But I can't ask her out because then Snails would be jealous."

A bored Snails looked off into the distance, his mouth agape.

Diamond Tiara snickered, and thought for a minute. She whispered something into Silver Spoon's ear as Snips sadly got off the table, and waved at a flushed Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom turned away, and suddenly shrieked as Diamond Tiara made up a new rhyme, about Apple Bloom and Snips.

"Blank flank, blank flank
Has no rank
Blank flank, blank flank
Flank's so blank

Is in love with a stupid guy
I think it's better to die
Snips thinks that he is so cool
This will make Apple Bloom drool

Blank flank, blank flank
Has no rank..."

Apple Bloom's thoughts wandered off as the song continued, saying things that wanted to make her leave. What had just happened? Snips had a crush on her? Seriously? Really? But then, as she started to recall last Hearts and Hooves Day...

Last Hearts and Hooves Day...

"You got a pile of cards Apple Bloom!" said Scootaloo, staring at her own empty desktop.

"Aww, Ah bet they're all from you guys!" she said.

Apple Bloom looked through the letters from her dear friends, and laughed when she saw that Scootaloo had written

Apple Bloom is sweet
She likes to eat
She smells like beet
But only in the heat

She smiled through Sweetie Belle's pink note, and smiled at the drawing of her that she made.

Apple Bloom saw that one of the other cards was from her teacher, Ms. Cheerilee, and another one was from Twist, who stated a candy-making formula that included Apple Bloom's favorite candy; caramel. Most of the other cards just were bought from the store, and every pony in the class got one out of generosity. Apple Bloom ate the candy attached to all of them, and threw away Diamond Tiara's red card that said that she was lucky she was getting her card, and that her father made her do it. But at the bottom of the pile was a card shaped like an apple that had her name written in curly writing. It had said the sweetest poem, and it had pictures of hearts and doves stuck all over it. Apple Bloom wondered who the wonderful card was from, and dropped it when she saw it was from none other than Snips.

Present...

"Now, who's next?" asked Scootaloo.

"Snips get to pick."

Snips looked around the room, trying not to catch Apple Bloom's eye.

"I pick..."

His eyes fell on none other than...
