Recently some of Rufus' experiences with ponies reminded him of how much he missed having friends. When he was with his pack, he had lots of friends! But ever since he had left, he was all by himself. At first he didn't think he could make friends with ponies, but after he got to know some of them he realized that even if ponies were usually afraid of Diamond Dogs he could still be friends with them. But he didn't want just any friend. He wanted a special somepony! Rufus had always heard that term, and always saw the term associated with two ponies who were really friendly with each other. Maybe if he had a special somepony, Rufus figured, he would be less lonely and would be able to come to terms with missing his pack. And conveniently, the day the ponies dedicated to special someponies was coming up when he came to his realization. When he found the sign up for the Hearts & Hooves dates, Rufus was excited to join. So excited, in fact, he didn't even notice the preference section of the sign up (not that he would have had much of one anyway). There was only one problem though, and that was of course the fact that Rufus was still a Diamond Dog. He didn't want to scare his new potential special somepony away, after all! So, Rufus did his best to try to make the whole situation of having a sudden encounter with a giant Diamond Dog as non-threatening as possible. The date was set in a park; a really nice, tranquil place, Rufus figured. Rufus polished his collar, cleaned his vest, and combed the fur on his head back to make himself look as respectable as possible. He even had a bouquet of flowers; ponies liked flowers, right? Now Rufus was standing out in the open in the park, waiting patiently for his partner to show up. He was anxious to see to who his potential special somepony could be, and hopeful that they were a fan of dogs... |
