A light blue stallion with a dark navy mane cut the pink paper in a heart shape, then added white lace as the border. It is finally done He set it aside to let the heavy amount of glue dry. After hours of working on pa the easy part is done. For now the note needs to be written. He knew if he tried write note first, he would get nothing finished and she would be even madder at him.
Soarin wracked his brain for the perfect note for his mare friend. Having a fight earlier in the week with her. Heart and Hooves just around the corner, he thought that would be the best chance to make things right with her. She could be so stubborn sometimes and she made it clear to him not to speak to her.
He got lined paper from the desk drawer with a feather quill and ink well. Not sure what to write, should he mention her colorful mane or her stunning eyes? Should it start with being apologetic, admitting he's wrong and do anything to get her back?
He smashed his head on the desk from the frustration. He had a feeling may have blew it. The fight was his fault after all and he did make her fly off in tears.. He regretted ever since and wished he could turn back time. Saying those to her haunted him since that day. Pushing the issue with her was dumb idea when she wasn’t ready. He hated that hurt her like that and she held the right to never want see him again. To respect that, that he's decided to stop if she doesn’t take him back in the final attempt.
The stallion thought when they first met on the junior speedsters team. Her and her griffin friend were tossing the ball around…
“Hey Soarin”. a voice called behind him. He looked to a yellow mare with a fiery mane
“Hi Spitfire”. He said as he rolled his eyes at his foal-hood friend who crashes at his house once in awhile. Mostly to raid the fridge and nap on the living room conch be because she's a huge mooch.
“Still working out your feelings for your mare friend?” Spitfire smirked. She knew how much Soarin messed up his relationship. All the school know the couple’s argument and what happened between them. Thanks to her overly shy friend ironically.
“Haven’t even started yet. Can’t think of anything to write”. Soarin mentioned. .
“I see, maybe you should throw in some wonder bolts tickets. You two are the biggest fan I’ve ever seen”. Spitfire suggested.
“You’re kidding me? I would have to sell my house twice to pay for that”. Soarin complained. “Tickets are two hundred a pop just for a crappy seat in the back behind a pole”.
“Fine then say something like I’ll never give you up”. Spitfire laughed. Soarin stared blankly at her, not knowing to say to her.
“What?” Spit asked when she realized Soarin is glaring her down
“I can see why you’re still single”. Soarin retorted.
“Shut up. At least I’m not the one who made the toughest mare cry”. Spitfire smirked
Soarin once again rolled his eyes.
“Don’t you have anyone else to bug?” Soarin said.
“Yes but you're more fun”. Spitfire giggled. “Anyway I'm hungry, see you around”.
“Quiet you bye”. The mare said as she left the room to grab a snack of some sort.
Soarin returned to his work. All the sudden, he reached a bright idea to say his lovely mare friend. He scribbled on the once blank paper. He smiled the finished letter. It would be given to her on Heart and Hooves Day (which is tomorrow)
***
A cyan mare with a multi-colored lighting bolt cutie mark walked to her locker f or a textbook stop. Being recently single on the greatest romantic holiday is harder she thought it would be. Seeing couples with valentine cards felt a brutal reminder that she's alone now. She probably should've just stayed in bed today.
The mare sighed as she opened as she saw a colt and his mare friend making out in front of her. She was about to yell “get a room” but they moved on. She went searching her history textbook in her very messy lock, one of those days she's going to clean it. But for now she has class.
Unaware a certain stallion was watching her behind some lockers. Soarin hoped she would find the card soon or he would be late for gym. No gym can wait this is more important he came to school early for nothing to plant it in her locker.
The filly got her book and was just to close when she noticed a pink piece of paper hiding under the book. She picked it up to inspect it and discovered a cheesy but sweet note was written in the heart.
“I miss your kiss and your touch. I don’t why know I'm so lost without you. It’s taunting me since I won’t see you smile and get to hold you again. I should not take you for granted and I can’t stand it any longer.
I'm so sorry, Dashie.
Love Soarin
Ps: Look around you
Rainbow Dash turned to see Soarin next her. He smiled at her, she did the same. Soarin thought making the letter simple as possible would be the best idea but it had to have a strong meaning. He almost stayed up all night writing. It was worth seeing her happy alone. Although there was a 50/50 chance that Dash would just rip it up and tell him to never speak to her again.
“S-Soarin, you wrote this?” Dash asked.
“Yeah, I hope you like it”. He said
Dash nodded. “It’s kindest thing anyone has done for me”.
“I'm still really sorry on how I made you think-“. Soarin was interrupted by Dash es
“Seriously Soarin, that’s old news, let’s just forget and move on”. Dash said as she leaned against him.
“Umm, Alright”. Soarin said. “I better not push my luck but I wasn’t expecting her forgive me this easily.”
The bell rang signaling to the latecomers that class had started without them. “I need to go” Dash said. “I’ll see you around”.
She went in for another kiss. With that she walked off, ‘bye”. Dash waved to him.
“Crap gym”. Soarin thought as he remembered and rushed off to the class.
Author's Note
I know the story is a bit cheesy but so is Valentine's Day and also I wrote this in two hours. If it seems rushed or something that's why. Anyway I didn't really explained what Dash and Soarin's fight was about. What do you think that all about? Let me know.
Here's the photo that inspired me to write this. I didn't make it the cover image because it's too much of a spoiler.
