Caramel: Shy. Reclusive. Awkward. He's a mild-mannered pony that hardly gets into trouble. He's a hard enough worker, doing odd jobs around Ponyville. He can fix roofs, help the Apple family with their farm, and can even foalsit! However, one tiny detail about Caramel's little life has always eluded him: Love.

Yes, it is a sad thing, to be all out of love. No matter what he tries, poor Caramel cannot seem to find a mare to be with... Every time he tries, he either chickens out or the mare doesn't see that he needs help with his insecurity. That and, being the social recluse that he is, and being loveless, he isn't exactly hip and happenin' with his vocabulary. But, fail as he might, Caramel diligently tries to court many a mare, hoping to one day learn the lingo of the world around him, break out of his shell, and find everlasting happiness.

Enter Colgate: Outgoing. Witty. Dentist. She's the tenth mare this week on Caramel's list for lucky times! She's everypony's dentist in Ponyville, and a darn good one, at that! She's single, likable enough, and has a bit of a "sweet tooth" for the aptly-named colt. Something about him... Intrigues her. So, they decide to go on a date. Colgate wants a nice pony to settle down with, one that she can show the world to (for she loves to be in control of situations, which is why she loves dentistry!), and one who may help her with her "special needs".

One is outgoing. The other is shy. One knows of the world through gossip, dental work, and parties; however, the other does not. They seem like the perfect match! But will things go awry? Will Caramel step up to the plate? And does Colgate have a fetish? Will Caramel find out the true meaning of modern words? Or will he "buck" everything up once more, like many times before?

WARNING: Rated "Teen" for mild language, suggestive themes, and sensual, but not entirely sexual, content. THIS IS NOT A CLOPFIC (hence the rating, duh), but rather a comedic romance with heavy, heavy, HEAVY amounts of suggestiveness. You have been warned.

When Twilight Velvet went into labor with her son Shining Armor, it was two and a half months too soon. Her husband began to pick up ten hour shifts at work to try and pay the hospital bills. After being in the NICU for a long time, Shining was at last declared well enough to go home, but still needed tubes to help him eat and breathe. Twilight Velvet stays with him day and night, never leaving home.

But she knows that someday, they'll both be on the other side of the window.

Valentine's Day comes every February, romantic partner or not. Singles have Singles Awareness Day which just seems like . . . anyway, Cinder Glow might have an unusual interest in conversation hearts but she also hasn't got a partner, so what better way to celebrate an almost-holiday than spend some time with a friend?

There are plenty of things on Netflix that aren't romantic, and it turns out that conversation hearts and popcorn are a decent mix.
