Author's Note

Obligatory Valentine's Day chapter, I may rewrite this at some point. Just for clarity, this takes place in between the last two chapters. I'm rushing to finish this, bear with me. This is just a little short idea I had, and I didn't feel like writing out the date scene. I'll probably make this it's own one shot and put it in more details a little bit later, maybe next year. Also, I ship Rarity x Zephyr Breeze. Don't judge me. And side note, NO, Fluttershy and Discord were not... uh, yeah, my writing is crap, I just want to clear that up...

BONUS: Hearts and Hooves Day

"Do we have to do this?" Fluttershy asked, wincing as the brush got caught in her mane again.

"Come on sis, it's Hearts and Hooves Day, have some fun!" Fluttershy gritted her teeth.

"Fun? Zephyr, for me, fun is a nice, quiet date at home, not whatever you and Rarity planned," she replied. As if on cue, Rarity rushed in.

"Darling, leaving your hair the way it is would be fine," she said.

"Thank you!"

"If you were just meeting in the park," Rarity finished. Fluttershy rolled her eyes. "It's the one day of the year when it actually makes sense for Discord to be over the top, who knows what he came up with this time?" Fluttershy gave her friend a deadpan look.

"You do realize that you used the words 'Discord' and 'Makes Sense' in the same sentence, right?" Rarity didn't seem to hear her, and went on.

"Hair aside, I have about five dresses for you to try on, maybe six. Perhaps we should start with the lavender one..." As Rarity droned on, Fluttershy snuck a glance at the clock. She sighed. This was going to be a long five hours.

The pattering and scratching noises of Discord's mismatched feet again the crystal floors was enough to drive Starlight insane. Twilight had a date with some mystery stallion, who, surprisingly, wasn't Flash. That left her to deal with Discord's whining. She looked at him, rolling her eyes. He was a nervous wreck, to the point where he'd created a sizable chasm in the floor, similar to the one Twilight had made in her old home. Finally, Starlight spoke up.

"What are you so worried about?" Discord turned around slowly, his eyes even wider than usual.

"WHAT AM I SO WORRIED ABOUT?!?!" he screamed. He took a deep breath to calm himself. "It's Hearts and Hooves Day, and I still have no idea what I'm going to do for Fluttershy!"

"You seem to have no problem coming up with ideas every other day of the year," Starlight remarked.

"This isn't every other day of the year! This has to be special!"

"I still don't get what the big deal is," she replied. Discord raised an eyebrow. "I mean, ponies are always saying that Hearts and Hooves dates should be special and magnificent, but shouldn't that be every date? I'm not saying you have to go all out every time, but if you love somepony, every date should feel special. Why just one day of the year?" Discord blinked, unsure of how to respond. He snapped his fingers.

"I got it!" Starlight chuckled as he teleported away.

"Look out Fluttershy, here comes your coltfriend."

Fluttershy sighed as she walked in. Unsurprisingly, she found her brother and Rarity standing right behind the door, ready to ask her a million questions.

"What did he do?"

"Did he teleport you to the Royal Gardens?"

"Did he move the stars to spell out your name?"

"Did he take you to that brand new art gallery in Canterlot?"

"Well, what happened?" both of them finished. Before Fluttershy had the chance to say anything, Rarity asked another question. She eyed her hair.

"What happened to that updo?" she questioned, noticing the loose ponytail hanging at Fluttershy's side.

"Sis, what exactly were you guys doing?" Zephyr asked. Fluttershy smiled.

"We had a nice, quiet picnic in the park," she answered.

"On the one day of the year he's supposed to go all out, he just went to the park with you?" her brother asked. "I mean, Hearts and Hooves Day is special, and-" Fluttershy cut him off.

"And it was special. That park was the first place Discord and I went together as friends once he was officially reformed. It meant a lot to me." Zephyr was about to retaliate about how he could have done something more, or how his sister deserved better, but Rarity stopped him.

"Well, it may not have been what we expected from Discord, but it was heartfelt nonetheless." Fluttershy gave an appreciative smile and walked up stairs. As she was walking, she turned around.

"Rarity?"

"Hm?"

"Happy Hearts and Hooves Day. And Zephyr?"

"Yeah?"

"We all know you and Rarity have crushes on each other, stop denying it." And so, without saying anything else, the pegasus walked upstairs, leaving behind the astonished, confused, embarrassed beings known as Rarity and Zephyr Breeze.
