[school bell ringing]

Apple Bloom: Hmm... I just don't feel like it's quite finished.

Sweetie Belle: I know what you mean. If it's for Miss Cheerilee, it needs to be perfect. Hearts and Hooves Day only comes once a year, after all.

Scootaloo: I say we add a little more ribbon!

Sweetie Belle: Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah. And just a tiny bit more lace.

Coconut Harvest: A few more hoof-prints.

Scootaloo: Glitter! It could definitely use just a little more glitter!

Apple Bloom: Now that'll show Miss Cheerilee how much we care about her. Just have to get it to the Hearts and Hooves party at school.

Scootaloo: I think we're gonna need a bigger envelope.

[indistinct chatter]

Diamond Tiara: I like the red ones.

Cheerilee: It's lovely. And so... big!

Coconut Harvest: We just wanted to let you know that we think you're the best teacher in the whole wide world! And we think you're super! And that we love you so so much! And we want you to have the best Hearts and Hooves Day—

Apple Bloom, Coconut Harvest, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo: Ever!

Cheerilee: Thank you so much, girls. I love it. I really do.

Sweetie Belle: I'm sure it's nothing compared to the gifts you've gotten from your... very special somepony.

Cheerilee: Oh, I don't have a very special somepony at the moment.

Apple Bloom: Really?

Sweetie Belle: How could somepony as amazing as you not have a very special somepony on Hearts and Hooves Day?

Cheerilee: It's alright, Sweetie Belle. I have lots of good friends and wonderful students who care about me very much. I'm gonna have an absolutely terrific Hearts and Hooves Day. Alright, everypony, who's ready to play "Pin the Heart on the Pony"?

[excited responses]

Coconut Harvest: If anypony deserves a very special somepony, it's her.

Sweetie Belle: [gasp]

Apple Bloom: Uh, you all right?

Sweetie Belle: I'm more than all right. I've just come up with the best idea ever. We're gonna find Miss Cheerilee a very special somepony.

Coconut Harvest: That is the best idea ever.

Sweetie Belle: [singsong voice] Tooold yooou!

Apple Bloom: So what are we waiting for? Hearts and Hooves Day is almost over! Let's get out there and find somepony special for Cheerilee already.

Sweetie Belle: Yeah!

Scootaloo: Let's do it!

Sweetie Belle: Now it can't be just anypony. Miss Cheerilee is one of the best mares in Ponyville. She deserves to have one of the best stallions as her very special somepony. Cheerilee is sweet and kind, she's the best teacher we could hope for. The perfect stallion you and I must find. One to really make her heart so-o-oar. But...this one's too young, this one's too old. He clearly has a terrible cold.

Hay Fever: Achoo!

Coconut Harvest: This guy's too silly. He's way too uptight.

Persnickety: I say!
