Loki and I

Kids These Days (Part 1) - S1 E30

After the Avengers cleaned themselves up, Zoe turned them back into people again and sent them back to Midgard. Well, at least, that's where she said she sent them. But I'm not actually 100% sure, I mean, this is Zoe we're talking about.

Anyway, we were just about to take Loki back to his cell, when he reminded us that he still had two library books that he wanted to return.

So, that's basically all the boring ish that you missed. Now, we're in the library, me keeping an eye out for Moona in case she tries to freak us out again and sticking by Loki, while he and Zoe browse. I have a feeling we're in the Romance section, but I'm not entirely sure.

That is, until Zoe gives me a perverted grin.

"Hearts and Hooves Day's coming up soon, eh, Rosie? Eh, Loki? Eh? Eh?" Zoe elbows me for every 'eh'.

I roll my eyes, while Loki furrows his brow. "What is that?" He inquires, before I can stop him.

"Well," Zoe starts. I immediately facehoof. "Hearts and Hooves Day is on February 14th. It's where you give a present, more often than not a flower or a card, to your special somepony. It's just something to celebrate the day of loooove," she winks at me.

"Oh. You mean like Valentine's Day?" Loki asks.

Zoe looks at him weird. "What the hell is that?"

I ignore that, sighing, "Most of my Hearts and Hooves days are spent half the day looking for a special somepony, and the other half crying over the fact that I'll remain forever alone," I half joke.

Loki laughs a little, not entirely sure if he should or not.

"Ha! Well, normally, I would join your solo pity party. But I've got a very special somepony this year," Zoe squeaks in excitement.

"What? Who?" I ask, "I mean, whoa! You with a special somepony?"

"Uh, yeah, me!" She retorts, "And his name is Matt. You know, the guy from the Hearth's Warming party?"

Oh, yeah, him. He made fun of my wingboner. No hate, though. "Ah, that orange unicorn that I ignored for most of the night?" Loki grins.

"And I bet you two'll be busy this Hearts and Hooves Day, too, eh?" Zoe does another perverted grin.

"Um, no," I mutter, "I'll be carrying out my traditional pity party for myself. And I don't think Loki really cares, he's got an actual excuse. You know, with the whole cell and no freedom shit?"

"Freedom is life's great lie," Loki says blankly, staring off into the distance.

"Oh, come on!" Zoe cries, "Be a cute couple and do as your fandom says!"

"I have a fandom?" I say, confused.

Loki pauses for a few seconds, then speaks up, "As entertaining as your arguing isn't, I do think we're wasting time here. Also, somebody get me that book up on that top shelf." He points to one up high on the shelves.

"Zoe, it's not like I'm not happy for you," I continue, while flying up and grabbing the book Loki asked for, "It's just that... I don't wanna be alone on Hearts and Hooves Day. I mean, really alone, with nopony to complain about being single with."

"Maybe if you and Loki actually got together, you wouldn't have anything to complain about," Zoe mutters through grit teeth, before accidentally stepping on an old book on the ground. "Huh?" She raises an eyebrow at it, lifting it up with her green magic.

"What's that?" I ask, placing the book Loki wanted on his back.

"It looks old," Loki states, "Where did you find it?"
