[Dictated all so cheerfully]

I got a question~! ♪

Sooooo I'm not from Earth, but I've heard a few things about Valentine's Day from people. You know it's a holiday about romance and love and all that great stuff! Which sounds really nice to me! Everyone could use more of that sorta thing in their lives! ♥

But then as the day approaches, most of you seem pretty lackluster about it or outright dreading it! Which is weird since we're in a castle full of attractive people and we can wish for anything we want to make the day go nice!

So I guess after awhile I'm starting to wonder what Valentine's Day is all about...I mean...

Is Valentine's Day actually just some obligatory breeding day so Earth people can keep their population going? Or does the castle just collect a lot of people with really empty love lives?

'Cause honestly, I can't tell which it is~! And I'd like to know too, since Valentine's Day sounds fun, but I'm not sure I'm on-board with the idea of...obligatory breeding for Earth's sake, per say.

Thanks! ♥

Oh. You don't sound happy about that.

Uh...well, let's just say it's how you get babies and leave it at that!

Yeah, well. I won't be sending anything this year.

Oh. But I thought they just arrived at the hospital...

Wanna talk about it?

[...] Not quite...but it's not important for now!

I don't know, do you know anything about the crushing feeling of rejection?

If you say so. [His tone suggests this will be a line of questioning asked AGAIN]

Oh I've had my experiences, you could say.

You have?

[Long pause]

And you won't tell anypony about this would you?

Yep, I have.

Me? No. I swear on my name as the Great Zelos Wilder that this will strictly stay in bro talk!

Well...okay.

[Zelos]

So I told this unicorn that I have a crush on her, but I got the friend talk instead.

Ouch. The whole "I like you as a friend" spiel?

[The whole unicorn loving a dragon thing is weird but...hey whatever love is love, he guesses]

Yeah. I mean, she's a really, really good friend, and I guess I was stupid to think anything could ever happen.

But still.

You weren't stupid. You were brave for putting your heart on the line like that. It just...didn't work out this time.

I sure didn't feel brave. I felt like a giant loser.

[SIGH. Oh but young love is FOREVER LOVE] I don't think there will be a next time.

Yeeeah, bravery does that to you sometimes. [Honestly he feels like a giant idiot half the times he chooses to be "brave" against his better judgement]

You say that now, but there will be. Whether it be with her or another girl. You can believe me on that one!

Really? Then bravery kinda sucks.

You really think I have another chance with her maybe one day? Like...someday she could be my special somepony? [So much joy]

[He chuckles; YOU HAVE NO IDEA] You can say that again.

Sure, it's possible! She still wants to be your friend, right? So that means she cares about you as a person - which really says something! Maybe her feelings aren't romantic, but...who knows what the future will bring, right?

Yes, she said I was a very dear friend to her.

So that means I shouldn't give up hope, right?

Yep! Sounds like to me that things aren't hopeless yet!

Just don't worry about it for now, okay? You're still young and the future can always change things- no need to rush and force love along. As I always say- whatever will be, will be.

So I guess I should hold off giving her a Hearts and Hooves days card just yet, huh?

Well...maybe a friendly one, if those exist. Don't want her thinking you're blowing her off or anything.

A friendly one. [So much pondering here] I think I could manage that.

[No. No he cannot. It will be pink and gaudy and terrible]

[Oh Spike. Spike spike spike]

Of course! You can do it, lil bro!

[Sad little failure]

Thanks man! I'll do my best!

I'm sure you will. Make her feel special!

[And now he's off to PLAN.

Oh god what have you done, Zelos?]

[Sob.]

[HE WAS TRYING HIS BEST OKAY. ;; ]
