>Chilling in your friend's crib.
>Brad was really cool. He said he got plans tonight, but did a small space to hang out with you.
>Yeah, nothing can ruin this first Sunday of May.
>Nothing at... OH NO!
"Fuck!"
>"Whoa! Norman, what's happening?"
"Brad, give me your keys!"
>"Why?"
"I forgot today was Mother's Day, I need to buy her something!"
>"Give her a card or a flower."
"That's what you do?"
>"No, I always save money to buy her a dress or take her out to dinner."
"...."
>"I'm an asshole when it comes to women, but God or the Saints kill me the day I crush my mother's heart."
"... So?"
>"Here."
>Brad gives you the keys.
"Thanks man, you are the best."
>"Hurry up: shops are going to rise prices in three hours."
>With no time to lose, you must save Mother's Day.

>Driving around, you check your savings: $500
>You were always saving for a rainy day. What a lucky umbrella you have now.
>Wait, you have no idea what to give her.
>Hold on! Brad said "dress", maybe something like that will save you.
>You drive as fast as you can to Rarity's boutique.
>30 minutes later.
>*Ding!*
>"Welcome to my boutique, how can I help you?"
"Rarity, thank God"
>"Norman, darling, what do you need?"
"I need something for my mom"
>"Well, what you have in mind? I must warn you, I almost sell most of my clothes"
"Scarfs?"
>"I don't have any."
"A pretty dress?"
>"Sorry, but no."
"I know, beanies!"
>"Incredibly, the people bought that too. What about-"
"No, a sweater is boring."
>Her looks change
>She still smiles, but she "feels" annoyed.

>she takes a box
>It says "cheap section"
>Takes a shirt
"... World's okest mom?"
>"Lovely, isn't it?"
>Knees weak.
>Palms sweaty.
>And you didn't get your mom's spaghetti.
>You run, and leave the store.

>C'mon Norman, think, THINK!
>Wait, moms like sweets too. That means sugar.
>You hop in the car, and in 15 minutes you reach Sugar Cube Corner.
>At the door is green.
"Green! have any ideas for... what you got there?"
>"A wall clock for my mother."
"Wow, I didn't knew you-"
>"Norman, I'd usually joke about your pleb tastes, but today is important. I don't see my mother so much."
>Woah, you never saw Scott so serious.
>Now that you think about it, you don't know her mom either.
"Maybe you should present me to your mom one day."
>"For the better, no."
"..."
>"Sorry Norman, I'm late already"
>He walks away
>Whatever
>Inside SCC, Pinkie is running as fast as she can.
>"Good! Norman, can you help me?"
"Sorry pink, but I-"
>"It will be quick, please!"
>She puts her puppy eyes on.

".... Alright."
>You decided to help Pinkie
>She was actually making rock candy for her mom, and the Cakes let her use the kitchen.
>One hour later, you two finish all the candy.
>"Thanks Norman, I would've never finished in time if it wasn't for you."
"Don't mention it."
>Taking into account you wasted time to help this girl.
>"I got something for you."
>From her hair she gives you a bach of pastries.
>3 cupcakes, 3 muffins, a cake.
>And as extra, she gives you some rock candy.
>"Remember: you suck it, don't chomp it."
"Wow! thanks Pinkie!"
>You leave the store happy.

>Now that you have some stuff, you decide to go back to the boutique.
>Giving a little something to Rarity will make amends.
>15 later
>"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY STORE YOU FUCKING HIPSTER I DON'T SELL FEDORAS RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
>You see Scott running away from the store.
"Rarity wha-"
>"GO AWAY SHITLORD, I GOT NOTHING FOR YOU!!"
>Heart status: broken.
>"Oh goodness, Norman, I-"
"Don't say nothing Rarity, I'll go"
>You start to walk away
>"I mean it, hold on."
>She goes inside, and brings a sweater
>"I know what you said, but I am deeply sorry for insulting you, have this."
>You smile
"I... wanted to give you this too"
>You give her 2 muffins, 1 cupcake, and some rock candy.
"Happy mother's day"
>"Happy mother's day Norman"
>She goes inside the boutique, and you leave.
>Hoping someday those words comeout when she becomes your wife.

>With everything you did, you decide to check what is purple doing.
>You drive all the way to the school, where a small reunion between professors and their parents is happening.
>You park, and start asking for Twilight.
>At the gim, you find her serving the guests.
"Purple, how are you?"
>"I'm great. I like this festivity of your people: Mother's Day."
>She looks happy, but a little gloomy.
"... You want to be with your mom, right?"
>"Yeah, Spike wanted to help Fluttershy with the Animal Center's Mother's Day, so I'm a little alone"
"Can I ask you a favor?"
>"Yes, what is it?"
"I'll explain it when we get to my house"
>After asking permission to Celestia, and tell purple the reason why you got Brad's car, you ride home.

>"Oh, honey, you didn't have to."
>>"Nonsense woman, I'm more than happy to give you a nice present."
>You are a little nervous. Your dad's gifts are good, but you hope you and purple got this.
>>"Alright son, your turn."
>Don't be nervous.
"Yes! Mom, happy day."
>With purple, you start to levitate the presents.
>Magic shit, you still don't understand.
>first the muffin.
>then the candy.
>Now the-
>*glop*
>That... that was a bubble sound coming from the cupcakes?
>*glop* *glop*
>Yes it is.
"P-purple."
>"Don't unfocus Norman. Even for begginers, this can be difficult."
>Right: don't be scared.
>Don't be-
>*glop**glop**glop*
"P-pur-"
>"Norman!"
>Shit, she's serious with this
>She could be a good magic teacher
>That would be-
>*glop**glop**glop**glop**glop*
>Oh shit!
>One cupcake starts to get big.
>Purple interfiries, but still grows.
"P-purp-!"
>"Norman, calm down!
>You try, but it's too late
>*Boom!*
>Suddenly, all the room is covered in frosting.
"Ahhh.... mom, I'm sorry, I didn't wanted to-"
>Your parents start laughing.
>>"Hahaha! you still need training kid!"
>"Well, it was original at least! Haha."
"You... you aren't angry?"
>>"Angry? Why?"
"I blow up a cupcake in the living room."
>"Not the worst thing I see."
>>"Son, this city is crazy. We see a lot of weird stuff everyday"
>This make you happy.
>Your parents understand what crazy place is Canterlot.
>After a little cleaning (done by you and purple), you give your mom the last present.
>A cream-colored sweater.
>With a hug and a kiss in the cheek, she thanks you.
>>>"Well.... Norman, I'll get going."
"Wait, purple, I know you aren't with your parents this year, but I'd like to celebrate Mother's Day with us."
>>>"Are you sure?"
>>"Feel like home, magic girl. Maybe you can show us some spells."
>"You can call me purple mom if you want."
>Your mom gives Twilight a hug.
>>>"T-thanks."
>>"Come on, dinner time!"
>Your family goes to the kitchen.
>You follow them, but...
>*Grab*

>Purple is holding your hand.
"Twilight?"
>"Norman.... *Blushes* Thanks for-"
>You smile, and pat her head.
"It's okay purple, you are welcome."
>You stare at purple's eyes
>Finally, a normal moment.
>....
>>"You guys coming or not?!"
>You snap back to reality.
"Ah!.... Yeah! We are going!"
>You are still holding Twilight's hand.
"... We go?"
>She nods.
"Great."
