She Does Have a Heart

Adonis was held calmly in the embrace of sleep, that is until a pink blur pushed him from his bed and onto the floor.  Adonis looked up and saw Cadence staring at him firmly.  Her mane was tied in a ponytail, she was also wearing what looked like a coaches tee and cap.  She had a whistle that was hanging from her neck on a thin black lace.  Cadence grabbed her whistle with a hoof and blew into it hard, causing Adonis' ears to start ringing.

"Get up maggot, we have a lot of work to do," said Cadence with a false sense of authority.

"I just woke up, you're gonna have to give me a minute," replied Adonis.

"I said... GET UP," said Cadence grabbing Adonis in her magic and throwing him into the bathroom.

"What the heck Cadence," said Adonis angrily.

"Brush your teeth maggot, you have a long day today," said Cadence exiting the bathroom.

Adonis did as he was told and exited his room, out of nowhere Cadence appeared next to Adonis and blew her whistle.

"Now jog," yelled Cadence.

Adonis did as he was told, mostly because if he didn't, she's snap him with her tail.  The jogging lasted three hours, but to Adonis, it felt like an eternity.  Finally, it was over, Adonis collapsed outside his bedroom door.  Cadence approached him slowly, a happy smile plastered on her face.  She had somehow already taken off and disposed of her coach outfit and had already fixed her mane.  For a moment Adonis wondered how she did that, but quickly brushed the thought off.

"Now that that's over, you should take a shower, we'll continue after you're done," said Cadence smiling warmly.

"What the hell, why did she make me jog," thought Adonis.

Adonis entered his bathroom and gingerly took off his clothes.  His body was sore and his muscles ached, a hot shower was just what he needed.  Though he wouldn't be getting it, Cadence came into his room and began banging on the door.  Now Adonis was in a tuxedo, he was basically being pushed down the hall by Cadence.  Cadence pushed Adonis to a set of double doors that he knew lead to the throne room.  She opened the doors to show Luna sitting at a small rectangular table.  The table seemed to be made of oak wood and had a white, laced table cloth draped across it.  In the center of the table was a golden candelabrum with three, lit red candles.

Luna was sitting in her seat with a happy smile plastered on her muzzle.  Her mane and tail were braided in a long lavish weave.  She was wearing a long black dress that seemed to sparkle like a million stars.  She was also wearing makeup, which seemed odd to Adonis, seeing as he'd never seen her with makeup on.  She was stunning, with grace to rival Celestia herself.

Cadence sat Adonis down across from her and began giving him pointers for his first date, as well as tips on how to ask someone out.

"Got it," asked Cadence after she had concluded her 'teaching' session.

"Definitely," replied Adonis proudly.

"He's ready, or for the most part at least," said Luna before she took a sip of her wine.

"Celestia and I are still trying to work out all the minor details, like where you two will meet, and at what time.  We have already scheduled the event to take place during the Grand Galloping Gala, in one week.  So, until then you should go over all that I've told you today, and don't be afraid to ask for more help," said Cadence.

"Thanks for everything," said Adonis as he got up and walked out the door.

Right outside was Shining Armor, she had a smug grin on his face.

"Your wife's crazy," said Adonis, a smile spreading across his face.

"No argument there," said Shining walking past Adonis and into the dining hall.
