He's MINE (Completed)

Author's Note

Fun lil fanfic for fun and fun alone! I... should really work on my other fics, but this idea came to mind and I just couldn't help myself, I'm not sorry- OK maybe just a little bit sorry.

He's MINE (Completed)

February 13th, it was the eve of Hearts and Hooves Day, and everypony was running around, setting up some last second second arrangements.

Sunny hummed softly to herself, sitting directly in front of a closed oven, watching the items inside slowly yet surely come to life as they baked. A metal tray sat in the middle of the oven, housing twelve cupcakes slowly beginning to rise up as the heat from the oven did it’s work. She was making Unicorn Cupcakes! A very special recipe passed down from her family for generations- and by generations, specifically only two, her Dad, and then her! The cupcakes were different colors, some pink, some blue, some brown, but none of the usual accessories for the Unicorn Cupcakes had been added yet. So as it stood, they were just regular ol’ cupcakes. Once Sunny could get them out of the oven she’d get to decorate them properly, but for now she waited, staring intently as she watched the cupcakes baked. It was… a bit weird to see her so intently stare at rising cupcakes, but she was a grown mare, she’d be fine.

After around 30 more minutes baking in the oven, the cupcakes were finally ready. Sunny used a mouth-guard, which really was just a heat resistant sheet that she could easily wrap around the small ledge of the tray. Slowly, she carefully pulled out the hot tray and placed it down on the counter. It was the decoration phase. She smiled eagerly, beginning to use some frosting to slowly coat the little cakes in a blue layer. Oh yeah, it’s all coming together…~

Zipp was out in Maretime Bay, watching plenty of ponies running around while they attempted to procure some last minute items before Hearts and Hooves Day. Zipp felt like she could laugh at them, waiting this long before actually doing anything for Hearts and Hooves Day was a pretty bold move… but then again… she was basically doing the same thing. Zipp trotted around, being sure to avoid a bunch of ponies as they frantically ran around. But soon enough she came up towards the sunglasses vendor, who seemed to be beaming with joy. Zipp looked a bit confused but soon figured why, seeing that almost every single pair of his sunglasses were sold out, a few left behind but really there were only about 4 or 5 left out of the maybe dozens to hundreds of them he had. Zipp walked up towards them, shooting them a smile, “heya! You wouldn’t happen to be selling any more glasses, would you?” Zipp asked the stallion curiously.

They beamed with delight, “of course! We’ve got a few pairs left but- ah, who am I kidding! You can just take whichever you want, free of charge- in fact, take all of them if you’d like!” They smiled brightly, grabbing the few sunglasses he had left and placing them down on the counter in front of him. Zipp seemed baffled at this, almost like she was walking into a trap or something. “A bunch of ponies came in and swept up almost my entire stock! My sunglasses sold like hot-cakes! Since I don’t even get a new shipment for the next three days, it means I get the next three days off!” He said cheerily. “I insist, take all of them! It just means I can close up shop and go home early to see my wife! Oh boy, she'll be happy to hear it!~” They spoke with heartstruck eyes, seemingly imagining his wife then and there.

“Oh- wow! Uhm, thanks! Sure I’ll take them then!” Zipp responded with a smile of her own. She gently snatched up the five pairs of glasses on the counter, which issued a wider smile from the vendor as he quickly threw up a sign almost immediately after reading ‘SOLD OUT!’ In less than a minute the stallion gathered his belongings, locking up his little stand and skipping away like some fairytale creature. Zipp was holding back laughter. Of course, she could have paid for the sunglasses easily, but hey, free glasses never hurt anyone! Besides, one pair in particular caught her eye more than the other ones. She stared down at the pair and smirked. “Perfect! Now, what’s next on the list…” Zipp pulled her phone out, flipping it open right after and staring curiously. “Chocolates. That should be easy- oh shoot no it won’t!” Zipp seemed to forget that almost every pony in Maretime Bay was trying to get their hooves on last minute items. If she wanted to get those chocolates she’d have to hurry just like them. She pocketed the sunglasses before dashing away towards her next stop.

Pipp giggled softly to herself as she looked at her phone. She was in Mane Melody, laying down on one of the couches as their last customer left. She was accompanied by Jazz Hooves, who wiped a bit of sweat off of herself and made her way to collect her things. Pipp was allowing Mane Melody to close a bit earlier today than normal, why not after all, it was the eve of a great holiday coming up tomorrow! Rocky had already left a while ago, leaving the two mares to themselves. Jazz couldn’t help but giggle in response to Pipp, who scrolled through their phone oblivious to everything around her. “Sheesh Pipp, I haven’t seen you this excited since you opened Mane Melody~” Jazz responded teasingly, walking up towards the mare. This snapped Pipp out of her trance, if just for a moment. “Seriously, you’ve been giggling almost all day! I think some of the customers thought you were losing it.” Jazz sighed, sitting down beside her employer.

“Ahh! I’m sorry Jazz, I’ve just been so excited! My package is going to arrive in a couple of minutes today, and not a day too soon either! If it arrived later I wouldn’t have it for H.A.H.D!” Pipp spoke giddily.

“H.A.H.D?” Jazz asked for clarification. It almost sounded like a disease.

“Hearts and Hooves Day! Duhhh, I thought that was obvious?” Pipp responded, holding back laughter. Jazz rolled her eyes, she couldn’t believe she didn’t get it, it was so obvious! Then again, Jazz wasn’t nearly as distracted about Hearts and Hooves Day as other ponies were. She didn’t exactly have a special somepony to come home to, but it did mean she gets a whole day off from Mane Melody, so she was looking forward to relaxing at home and taking a well deserved break. “It should arrive any minute now! The Pegadelivery App says the delivery mare is only 3 stops away!” Pipp squealed in anticipation, eyes lighting up.

Jazz gave her a soft, nearly exasperated smile. She understood Pipp’s excitement but she wished her friend would tone it down just a bit. “Well alright, I’ll leave you to it then~ Don’t let me get in the way of your, frankly, explosive excitement~” Jazz giggled, picking up her bag and beginning to make her way out of the store. Pipp waved the mare goodbye, only for Jazz to be stopped the moment she opened the door. There was a Pegasus standing there, holding a large polybag in her mouth. Jazz reacted on instinct, ready to tell her that Mane Melody was closed, but soon spotting the hat she wore, as well as the plastic bag she held she understood immediately. “Oh Piiiiiiiipp, something is here for you!” Jazz called back to Pipp before politely side-stepping the Pegasus and making her way home. She didn’t want her own eardrums ruptured when she heard Pipp’s loudest squeal yet. While she was interested in what the mare had ordered, it wasn’t interesting enough to constitute losing her hearing over it.

Unfortunately for the Pegasus delivering the package, they were met with a loud squeal of excitement, thankfully not bursting their own eardrums but leaving them in a daze. Pipp rushed over, quickly snatching the package from the Mare, and gently grabbing their hoof, placing some bits in them before quickly slamming the door and locking it. The poor Pegasus was a bit bewildered. Everything happened in an instant, but… hey, at least she got a few bits? At the cost of some temporary ringing in her ear anyways. She sighed, flapping off, not wanting to question why the smaller Pegasus was so excited for the package. Surely it wasn’t anything too big, it did come in a plastic baggie after all. But Pipp, oh she knew just what was inside and was happy to have it in her possession. After a few minutes more, she quickly flew out of Mane Melody and back towards the Brighthouse, bag in tow.

Izzy giggled lightly to herself, slathering paint across a wooden object. Izzy was at the Brighthouse, in her own Izzy Chamber working on a Hearts and Hooves gift. The Unicorn used her magic to great efficiency, sprinkling on glitter slathering some glue across the item. It was a rather small item, but that didn’t mean making it relatively quiet either. Sunny had pinned her ears against her head hearing all the racket coming from Izzy’s creation station, and she was on the other side of the Brighthouse! They desperately needed to soundproof the room. And it absolutely didn’t help that Izzy was singing loudly, without much care in the world. Izzy had been in there since this morning, but soon enough she came out. Sunny could tell Izzy was finished when she heard absolute silence, the telltale sign that Izzy had finished her latest masterpiece.

Izzy walked out of her little room and straight towards the kitchen, where Sunny finished topping off the final bits from her unicorn cupcakes, before finally slipping the tray into the refrigerator to cool for tomorrow. Sunny looked back at her dear friend, who held a rather unique object in her hooves. Sunny paused, eyeing Izzy up and down for a moment. Izzy was beaming with joy, though she was silent. By the way she looked, Sunny just knew that Izzy wanted her to ask what she was holding in her hooves. Sunny giggled softly, deciding to bite the bullet and ask, “what’cha got there, Izzy?~” Asked Sunny, brow raised.

“I’M GLAD YOU ASKED!~” Izzy proclaimed before trotting up to the counter and slamming the item down on top of it. Sunny flinched in response, almost expecting the item to fall apart then and there. “This is the latest and greatest item in my long line of unicycling projects, sure to make any stallion swoon when they lay their eyes on it! I call it… uhm… well I don’t know what to call it yet.” Izzy responded with a sheepish look. Sunny raised a brow in response, looking over the item with intrigue, now wondering what it was supposed to be exactly. “It’s a music box!” Izzy declared, as if reading Sunny’s mind. She pressed a small red button on the side of the wooden structure. As it stood right now it just looked like a wooden box, but upon pressing the button the box shot open like a chest. Inside was the figurine of an Earth Pony, a Pegasus and a Unicorn, though they were simple wooden carvings and not meant to resemble any pony in particular. They all stood on one hoof with their bodies standing up. Izzy smirked, motioning towards a wind up crank on the inside of the box. She quickly began spinning it, spinning it at speeds Sunny’s eyes could hardly process. When she finally stopped, the crank slowly unwound, and the three wooden figures would begin dancing around each other, spinning around slowly, rising and falling, and intertwining with each other before pulling away, all in a synced matter. Sunny watched in awe, her eyes lighting up at the fine display of crafts-pony-ship that Izzy displayed. Of course, there was also music too, the box played what sounded like a lullaby, except obviously without words but just lulling music to go along with it. Sunny could feel as if she would fall asleep on the counter listening to it. “So? What do you think?~” Izzy asked her friend curiously.

“Izzy… Wow, that's amazing! Is this for Hearts and Hooves Day too?” Asked Sunny curiously. Izzy responded with a quick nod, slowly closing the lid on the box, where the music and dancing ponies stopped automatically. “I’m sure whatever pony you give that to will be super happy to have it!~” Sunny spoke with bravado.

Izzy giggled, trotting around. “Yeah! I’m sure Sprout’ll love it!”

Sunny’s eyes shrank back. She seemed frozen to the core at that notion. “Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! You’re giving it to SPROUT?” Sunny asked in shock, a surprised, but also slightly worried face. Izzy’s eyes widened, with the Unicorn nodding quickly. “U-Uhm Izzy… Don’t you think it’d be better to give this gift too… well… someone OTHER than Sprout?” Sunny’s voice trailed off as she looked away sheepishly.

“Huh? Why do you say that?” Izzy wasn’t as dense as she came off to be. She could tell Sunny obviously didn’t want her to gift that gift to Sprout but why? “Don’t tell me… YOU’RE TRYING TO GIVE SPROUT A HEARTS AND HOOVES DAY PRESENT TOO?!” Izzy said with a shocked tone.

“Wh- No! I’m not! It’s just… ugh, Sprout isn’t exactly THAT much more comfortable with Unicorns and Pegasi yet! He would probably decline your gift- that is if he even wants you getting anywhere near him.” Sunny rolled her eyes. Izzy seemed a bit dejected at the notion, frowning softly and looking down. Sunny winced, seeing her friend’s almost heartbroken expression she quickly trot over. “H-Hey! I-It’s OK! I’m sure Sprout’ll warm up to Pegasi and Unicorns eventually! Hehe… Maybe just save that gift for… next year? Or his birthday? Yeah! Maybe he’ll change his tune then?” Sunny spoke sincerely, hoping not to dampen her friend’s spirit too hard.

Izzy’s smile slowly returned to her face. “Well… Alright! Thanks Sunny! But if that’s the case… Hmmm… Oh I know! I’ll just ask Hitch to take care of Sparky tomorrow so that he can go out with his special somepony and I can hang out with my favorite baby dragon!~” Izzy spoke cheerily, as if she was never dejected in the first place. Sunny giggled lightly in response.

“That sounds like a great idea! You should call him now and let him know!” Sunny nodded. Izzy would trot off happily to her room, taking the music box with her. Though, Izzy offering to take care of Sparky for a day would help Sunny too~ She didn’t say it yet though.

Zipp and Pipp came home later that day and the mares all went to bed without saying much else. The four mares went to sleep, sighing and dreaming about what they’d do for Hearts and Hooves Day come tomorrow.

Then tomorrow came. Zipp was the first one out of bed, followed by Sunny, Izzy and Pipp afterwards. Sunny began making breakfast for the four, while Izzy patiently awaited the arrival of Hitch. Seems like her offer was a great idea to the stallion, as he was happy to come early in the morning to drop off Sparky. She was going to have so much fun with him, she couldn’t wait! Zipp was doing her morning routine for the most part before coming back inside to enjoy breakfast, while Pipp spent an uncomfortably long amount of time in the bathroom. Some squeaks and grunts could be heard from Pipp, which caused the ponies to look away from the bathroom door nervously.

Soon enough, Sunny served pancakes to the other two mares before sitting down herself. “So Zipp…~” Sunny leaned against the counter. “Do you have a special somepony this Hearts and Hooves Day?~” Asked Sunny curiously.

“Pfft, of course I do~ I went out to get him some gifts yesterday!” Zipp responded confidently, biting into her pancakes. She chewed and swallowed down a bite before looking back with narrowed eyes. “And you have one too I’m guessing?~”

“You know it~” Sunny laughed. She wanted to continue before suddenly hearing the door open. Pipp walked out of the bathroom with a pouty look and something on her head… were those… bunny ears? Pipp trot up to their table, sitting down next to Izzy. She didn’t look like she was in the mood. Sunny cleared her throat, “uhm… what’s up Pipp?”

Pipp sighed, throwing her hooves into the air. “The costume I ordered doesn’t fit me! It’s too big, and I already ordered the smallest size they had! I tried putting it on in the bathroom but it keeps sagging down and making me look smaller than I already am! Not to mention making it look just terrible! Hmph, next time I’m ordering a custom made one.” Pipp huffed.

Zipp stared at the bunny ears Pipp wore, it was just a headband, which would fit anypony easily really, but then hearing that the outfit didn’t fit Zipp couldn’t help but hold back laughter. She knew exactly what kind of outfit Pipp had gotten, she didn’t even need to see it, just knowing full well what Pipp would have ordered. “Well, don’t worry too much sis~ Me and Sunny were just about to tell each other who our special somepony was~ You can tell us yours too!” Zipp responded smugly.

Pipp soon cheered up right after, “ah! You’re absolutely right! Full outfit or not, I’m sure he’ll love these ears at least!” Pipp declared happily before looking over at the two others. She leaned over the counter and smirked. “Alright, my special somepony is-”

“WAIT!” Sunny paused her before her eyes beamed open. “All at the same time, OK?” She asked the two. Zipp and Pipp paused, looking between each other for a moment before they both nodded in response. “Hehe, alright! On the count to 3.”

“One.” Zipp started.

“Two.” Pipp added.

“Three!” Izzy cheered.

“It’s HITCH!” Shouted Zipp, Pipp and Sunny simultaneously. Almost immediately the three fell into silence right after, with Izzy clapping her hooves together. They all shared looks before the three finally spoke again, “WHAT?!”

“No way!” Zipp bolted from her seat, suddenly flying off towards the center of the room and away from the table. Pipp followed behind quickly after, and Sunny after her. “Why do YOU want to go out with Hitch?!” Asked Zipp with narrowed eyes.

“Because he’s my foalhood friend! Besides! If anypony deserves to be Hitch’s somepony the most it’s me! We’ve known each other for almost two decades!” Sunny argued, stamping her hoof on the ground.

Pipp scoffed, “fat chance Sunny! You had plenty of years to be Hitch’s special pony, now it’s time to move on! He clearly doesn’t want to be with you if he hadn’t asked you out yet!” Pipp responded harshly before puffing her chest out. “I should be Hitch’s special somepony! Besides, have you SEEN the way he looks at me? He’s basically drooling all over me!~” Pipp responded smugly.

ZIpp rolled her eyes, “yeah right. A pony your size? Hitch would rather have someone he could talk with without having to strain his neck every time he looks down~” Zipp smirked. “Besides, I’m the only one here who knows what Hitch actually likes! I don’t see you ponies going out and buying sunglasses and a whole carton of chocolate chip ice cream!”

“Everypony knows Hitch likes sunglasses and chocolate chip ice cream! But I’M making his favorite treat of all! Unicorn Cupcakes!” Sunny retorted before stepping forward and pressing her hoof against Zipp’s chest. “Now back off! He’s going out with me today!” Sunny declared adamantly.

“Over my dead body!” Pipp squealed in response before suddenly flying into the air and tackling both ponies to the ground.

A brawl began to break out between the three ponies. Hooves being thrown out, tails being pulled and wings being stepped on. Izzy watched from the table before squealing. “Oh boy! Are we fighting now?!~ Make room for Izzy girls, cause I’m coming through!” Izzy shouted before suddenly rushing in, jumping into the cluster of ponies and started to fight too, though obviously not for the same reasons as the others.

Minutes later the door to the Brighthouse opened, and in through it came Hitch. However nopony seemed to notice as they all brawled in the center of the room. Hitch was a bit concerned, hearing a few shouts, grunts and moans coming from outside. He pushed the door and was shocked to say the very least. Zipp was standing up, yanking Izzy’s tail and pushing her hoof against Pipp’s face, keeping the smaller pony from being able to reach and strike back at her. Pipp had her killer eyes aimed at Zipp, using one of her hooves to attempt to get Zipp’s own hoof out of her face, while the other hoof pulled back on Sunny’s own mane. Sunny was on her back, trying to use a hoof to push Zipp away while also trying to get back up, though she couldn’t with all the chaos ensuing her. Izzy was right on top of Sunny, biting down on the mare’s leg while Zipp had her backside lifted into the air with her hoof around her tail.

“He’s MINE!” Shouted Zipp.

“In your DREAMS!” Pipp retorted, sputtering a bit.

“No, he’s MINE!” Sunny followed up right after. Izzy didn’t say anything, with her mouth over Sunny’s leg that much made sense anyways.

Hitch watched the madness ensue, he had no idea what they were fighting over, but he wasn’t going to let them continue much longer either. “Ahem…” He cleared his throat, “GIRLS!” Hitch shouted.

Hitch’s sudden outburst seemed to get the girl's attention stripped away from each other and to look at Hitch himself, well, except for Izzy who continued to gnaw away before Sunny pushed her head off to face Hitch. The three mares blushed a bit as they slowly yet surely pulled themselves away from each other, sitting down neatly in front of the stallion. They were all fairly bruised, and their manes were a total mess, but they didn’t hurt each other too badly thankfully enough. They all shared nervous glances as they looked between themselves and back at Hitch. “I’m… Not going to ask.” Hitch looked away before soon enough gently placing down Sparky, who was sitting down on Hitch’s back. The baby dragon looked around before spotting Izzy and happily making their way over to the Unicorn, albeit slowly. “Thanks for offering to take care of Sparky, Izzy~ I appreciate your help~” Hitch smiled brightly at the Unicorn mare.

“Sparky!~” Izzy said cheerily before suddenly running over and scooping the baby dragon up. “Of course Hitch! I can’t wait to spend the day with himmm~” She said happily before trotting off with Sparky towards the living room couch.

“So Hitch…” Pipp walked up to him with a sheepish smile. “Have any plans for today..?~” She asked the stallion curiously. Zipp and Sunny looked on in worry as Pipp made the first move.

“Actually- yes!” Hitch spoke with a soft smile. Pipp could feel her heart sink. “Sprout called me and wanted me to hang out with him for the day. He got really upset when no-pony asked to be his special somepony yesterday, and had a really hard time sleeping, so I’m going to hang out with him for the day. Nopony asked me to be their special somepony either, and since Izzy offered to take Sparky off my hands for the day anyways I told him I’d be happy to keep him company~” He smiled brightly. How nice of him! “Poor Sprout, he said he’d even date a Unicorn of Pegasus if it meant somepony asked him out, I couldn’t just say no to him! So we’re going to chill at his place all day!~”

Sunny, Zipp and Pipp looked like they had just got hit by a freight train of realization that none of them actually asked Hitch out yesterday. Izzy seemed a bit pouty, turning her attention to Sunny who discouraged her from asking out Sprout the other day as well. She let out a soft ‘hmph’ before turning her attention back to Sparky. The girls spent a couple of seconds sputtering and trying to find the correct words, but really there wasn’t any she could think of.

“Anyways, I just came to drop off Sparky! I hope you mares have a lovely Hearts and Hooves Day!~” Hitch waved to the mares before trotting out, closing the doors behind him. The three were left in a stupor, not able to process what had just happened to them before the three collapsed to the ground, unmoving.
