Chapter 7: The Plan

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was a bright sunny day, the birds were chirping and the crabs were snipping, everything was wonderful and ponies were considered crazy if they didn’t spend it outside today.

“Uuuuuuhhh!” A purple unicorn groaned as she sat at a table in the Brighthouse, she threw a crumpled-up piece of paper at the trash can, the paper itself just bounced off other crumpled-up pieces of paper.

“Ok, let me try again.” Izzy said as she started to scribble something on a sheet of paper, "No, no, no, that’s not enough, Uuuuuuuuhhhh!” She yelled again as she crumpled up the paper and tossed it toward the trash can.

“Ummmm, Izzy? Are you ok?” a voice behind her asks.

As Izzy turned around, she saw a pink pegasus walking up to her, “Oh, hey Pipp,” Izzy answered as she turned around.

“Are you ok, Izzy? Because you are looking and sounding frustrated.” Pipp said as she placed a hoof on Izzy’s shoulder.

“Weeeeell, it’s a bit embarrassing to say, but yeah, I am a bit frustrated,” Izzy said as she slumped down on the table.

“Is it because you can't figure out what to do or where you can take Sunny on a date?” Pipp asked her.

“Ummmm, how did you know?” Izzy questioned, she started to scoop up all the papers around her, trying to hide as much evidence as she could.

“There’s a lot of papers in this trash can behind you," Pipp uncrumbled a piece of paper as she smiled impishly. "Are you planning to take her on a date or plan a wedding with her, or are you going to take her to your bed…?” Pipp started to blush hard as she asked, the words starting to slowly come out of her mouth as she turned her head to Izzy, who was equally staring at her with a massive blush.

The awkward silence lasted for a minute and Izzy just slowly turned her chair so that she would be facing her desk. Pipp on the other hoof, just stuffed the spicy piece of paper under her wing, trying her best to compose herself.

“Anyways, it’s looking like you are just overthinking this, you know Sunny is a simple mare, so just try to do something simple for her, think of a date you know she would be free, and then take her out, don't say it’s a date, just tell her that it’s just a simple hang out," Pipp told Izzy as she moved next to Izzy.

“I already have a date in mind, the problem is, she will be working. Which means that I will have to think around that, which is why I’m getting stressed out," Izzy said as she looked at Pipp.

“Oh, which one is it?” Pipp questioned.

“It’s in three days, you can check your calendar if you want to see,” Izzy told her as she slumped down on her chair and desk and started to write out another plan.

Pipp did as Izzy told her and she went ahead and opened up her calendar app, as she looked over three days from today, she saw the four words which made her eyes widen a little, “Hearts and Hooves Day,” Pipp said out loud.

Izzy simply nodded before crumpling up the paper she was writing on and throwing it into the trash can.

“Another problem is that I don’t actually know if Sunny loves me in that way. I know she loves me as a friend, but as a marefriend? Well, I think she likes me that way, but she is very hard to read sometimes, always ready to make friends and making sure everypony gets the attention they deserve,” Izzy told Pipp.

“Yeah, Sunny can be quite tricky sometimes, she is almost always smiling and spreads friendship wherever she goes, I don’t even know if she has ever thought about anything, but friendship,” Pipp told Izzy as she moved a chair next to her and sat beside her.

“I just don’t want to mess up anything between us. It’s hard enough to think of what to do if I do ask her out, and it’s even harder to try and do it without the possibility that she might get weirded out by me and would no longer want to be my friend,” Izzy spreads her hooves out on the table, making Pipp feel bad for the mare.

“Tricky situation indeed.” Pipp thought for a second before a plan came to her, “Hey Izzy, are you still able to contact Comet?”

“Yeah, why?” Izzy questioned as she turned around.

Happy with her response, Pipp grabbed a paper and started to draw out a plan for Izzy, it was a simple one, one that was sure to work.

Once Pipp was done, she gave the paper to Izzy allowing her to read it over. As Izzy read what Pipp wrote, a big smile started to form.

“Pipp this idea of yours is amazing,” Izzy said as she hugged the piece of paper.

“I can’t believe I just thought about it,” Pipp gloated a little.

“Alright, time to contact Comet, hopefully, he will be free.” Izzy happily pranced out of the Brighthouse and made her way to “The Boardtrot” to open up the portal to go see Comet.

In Izzy’s heart, she was praying for this plan to work. As she ran through the crowds of ponies at the amusement park and as she reached the middle of the dock, she concentrated her magic which caused the crystals that were powering the park to glow bright.

Eventually, the crystals shot a beam in the middle of the dock which formed a portal. Without hesitation, Izzy dove into the portal, placing a sign behind her that read “Do not enter, private portal, staff only.”

Once inside, Izzy began her search for Comet
“Comet, where are you!?” Izzy yelled as she ran into the Auroricorn’s town.

“Oh hey Izzy, is there something you need?” Comet cheerfully said.

“Comet, I need your help with something. Are you free this ‘Hearts and Hooves Day’?” Izzy excitedly asks.

“Why yes, Izzy, my plans are free that day, Violet will be with Aurora that day,” Comet told Izzy.

“Do you still remember how to make smoothies?” Izzy questioned.

“Well yes, I do.” Comet cheerfully replied, making Izzy smile wide.

“Good.” Izzy said excitedly, “Then this plan will come along just great.
