Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Are you reading your horoscope every day? Because you really should.
Morning
The Valentine's Dance is tomorrow night. Valentine's Day is Sunday.
Twilight and I are going to the dance together, then on Sunday we're going out on a Valentine's date after Cadance's birthday party.
We're not letting our guard down, but at this point it's looking unlikely that Cadance will be targeted by Aquarius. According to her, the Shadows never attack more than once...
All around me, kids are exchanging Valentines with each other. Cards and candy are all over the place in every class. Surprisingly, I receive quite a few Valentines, not only from Twilight and Pinkie, but also friendly ones from Coco and Trixie.
It suddenly dawns on me, during third period, that I haven't even gotten Cadance a birthday present yet. Also, I have some last-minute Valentine's shopping to do, and I could probably use some new shoes. Looks like I'll need to go to the mall after tennis practice...
After School
At tennis practice, the coach reminds us that the girls' matches start in three weeks.
After practice, I shower, change, stow my gear at the dorm, then head off into town to shop.
Evening
The stores are packed...
It takes me twice as long to get my shopping done as it normally would. By the time I'm done, I'm pretty tired. I stop by SubLime for a couple of sandwiches to take back to the dorm.
When I get back, I find Pinkie lying on my bed naked. She smiles happily at me. "I was wondering when you'd get home!"
I roll my eyes. "Hi Pinkie."
"Aww, that's all the reaction I get?" Pinkie pouts. "Meanie."
"Sorry, I've been out shopping and I'm tired."
"Oooh, what'd you get?" Pinkie asks excitedly.
"Nevermind that," I say, shoving all the bags into my closet except the one with my dinner. "Want half a sandwich?"
"Well...it's not the six-incher I wanted inside me tonight, but...sure."
I groan. "Pinkie..."
"What? Twi-Twi said I could have you tonight," Pinkie complains. "Since she's got you the next two nights." She pauses, then tilts her head. "Well...one and a half. You're taking us BOTH to the dance."
"I am?"
"Of course!"
I shrug. "Yeah, okay." I grab a couple drinks from my fridge, toss one to Pinkie, then grab some paper plates and a knife to cut a sandwich in half.
Pinkie and I talk about different things while we eat: the dance, Cadance's birthday, tennis...
Part of me wonders when I got to the point that sitting around with a naked girl as cute as Pinkie and having zero reaction is normal.
After we eat, I get ready for bed. Pinkie slides into the bed next to me and cuddles me. I don't have the energy for anything else tonight...
She seems to understand that, and is content to just be with me.
