Our favorite -- and only -- trio in this story sat at their beloved dining table, which was decorated very girly-like. The reason? Well, Cozy Glow decided a tea party should be hosted that Hearts and Hooves Day, much to Tirek’s despise.

Speaking of which, the centaur attended wearing a frilly, southern belle-style dress that was deep tangerine in color. He also had a parasol of the same hue by his side while he gingerly drank from the porcelain teacup in hand.

Chrysalis was seated to Tirek’s left, dressed in a bright shade of cerulean, with some bluebells weaved into her mane and around her waist to complete the look. The changeling’s semi-transparent mane remained normal, as she preferred it like that.

And finally, Cozy Glow wore a scarlet bodice with dark peach petticoats underneath. Her mane was bunched up in a pair of pigtails, with her signature ivory hair-ribbon replaced by a crimson mini-top hat.

The former changeling queen was now banging her head on the table, which in turn caused the teacups to jump -- yet somehow they didn’t tip over.

“Why are we celebrating this terrible day!?” screeched Chrysalis against the table. “We all know love is a pointless subject, do we not!?”

Cozy Glow opened her mouth to object about how powerful platonic love, such as friendship, could be, but the spotlight was abruptly taken from her.

“It’s as pointless as.. well, I,” Chrysalis murmured almost sadly, but the melancholic mood was ruined by Tirek’s awkward slurping of his malk in the background.

The pegasus sympathetically put a hoof on Chrysalis’ shoulder, her pupils expanding with puppy-like cuteness. “Aww, don’t be like that, Chryssy! You aren’t that useless!”

Chrysalis’ depressing state was shut off as she glared at the child for such a juvenile remark. Cozy flinched slightly.

The filly then leaned forward to the former queen’s ear, her smile reverting back to that evil smirk she always had.

“After all, your horn alone would cost a fortune on ENay!” Cozy Glow explained creepily, finishing with a raspy giggle as she backed away slowly, raising a teacup to her lips.

Our favorite pegasus then put back on her ‘sweet face,’ turning to you and announcing cheerfully with a little wave of the hoof, “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, everypony!--”

And as all this was happening, Tirek still hadn’t finished nonchalantly sipping on his eternally-filled glass of strawberry malk.
