My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship (MLP remake with male OC added)

44. Coupling is Bad...

"How did I end up in all of this?" Thought Star Twinkle annoyed as he smiled at Cheerilee who sat with him on a picnic blanket that was decorated with sweets and flowers.
Not to mention the gramophone that was playing romantic music next to them.

Star Twinkle's eyes wandered behind Cheerilee where three familiar fillies were watching the two from inside of a bush.
All of them having wide eyes and big grins on their faces.

"Oh, yeah...that's why..." he thought as he remembered how it all came to this situation.

Earlier that day...

Star Twinkle was well aware that being a Cutie Mark Crusader meant that he was supposed to spend more time with Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, than a pony his age should be.
But every now and then he was invited to help them with some things that had nothing to do with him.
But he was at least thankful, whenever it was something that didn't involve him to join in some crusading.

He was told that they were making a card for their teacher and wanted Star Twinkle's opinion.
He had no idea what he had to do with their class projects, thought it was still better than going on another Cutie Mark hunt.
However, when he arrived at the clubhouse, he was surprised to see a heart shaped card that filled almost the entire room of the clubhouse, decorated with glitter and ribbons.

"Well, what do you think?" Apple Bloom asked, joined by Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo who all waited for Star Twinkle's response.

But before he answered, he first had to make sure to not get blinded by covering his eyes due too much expose of glitter and pink.

"It's lovely. And so...big..." he replied, trying to say something good about this "card".

"This will surely be the best card in our Hearts and Hooves party at school," Scootaloo said in excitement which quickly

"Hearts and Hooves day, huh..." Star Twinkle mumbled.

Hearts and Hooves day was a celebration that always went past Star Twinkle since it was a more popular thing for everypony that got a very special somepony, a pony that you care about more than anything else.
But there was nopony like that for Star Twinkle.
And how was there supposed to be one?
He never had a friend before he met Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
Finding a friend was already impossible to think of for him before that, let alone finding his love.
And since friendship was already more complicated than he thought, he figured that love would be something that he would never understand.

"Now we only need somepony to carry it for us..." Sweetie Belle said, rubbing her chin and looking up in thoughts.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo then joined in and mimicked Sweetie Belle until all of them at the same time looked over to Star Twinkle.

"I know exactly where this is going to..." Star Twinkle worried.

"Well, I hope Miss Cheerilee likes your card!
Now if you excuse me, I have to go and do...something," he said in a desperate attempt to get out of this situation.

But of course, the three fillies somehow managed to convince Star Twinkle and he ended up carrying the giant card to their school while they all walked in front of him, thinking about how Cheerilee will react to their card.
That was until Scootaloo formed a concerned look on her face and turned to the other two fillies.

"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to let Star Twinkle carry the card..." she said, looking around as if she was looking for something.

"What do you mean?" Sweetie Belle replied, not getting at what Scootaloo meant.
