It's come to my attention that the winter holidays in this world are bearculiarly similar to Christmas, a holiday made for spending time with either a group of hot studs or your special somebody. Unlike last year, I'm sadly going to skip on the stud meeting - but please save me a slice of cake - as I'm no longer a single bear anymore.

As a lotta you are already aware, but I've been training myself mentally and physically to reach the top of the maturity ladder, and my training is telling me that I gotta prebear the most romantic date imaginable.

[Teddie's standing in one of the Agency rooms, arms behind his back. This entire time he's been wearing a pair of glasses in hopes to make himself look smarter, but seeing as he's Teddie, he only manages to make himself look more ridiculous. Behind him are a few crayon drawings taped to the wall. He smacks one of them with a small tree branch, his temporary pointing stick. It's a little difficult to make out, but anyone with a good eye might catch that it's a drawing of a familiar city.]

Now, my field research concluded that Canterloft is the most romantic destination this world has to offer.

[See, it's not spying if it's for research. But enough about past nonsense, Teddie points to the next drawing, something much more sparkly looking. It...it also looks like it's covered in glitter.]

But with the inclusion of the Sparkling Crystal Place, I'm exbeariencing a sudden case of what we in the science business like to call "a difficult choice." [The scroll pans to the corner of the room, giving a good shot at Teddie's turtle, Peek, next to another piece of paper taped to the wall. It's drawn in such a way that it's meant to look like an itty bitty chalkboard, question marks scribbled all over it. Peek herself is wearing a tiny pair of glasses, clearly representing the science business of Equestria.] I need to know if we're still allowed to go there, or if I have to come up with a new sporting event to make it all pawsible.

[The scroll then turns back to him, one paw nudging his glasses "professionally."]

Any and all opinions on this matter are appreciated, as well as any and all snacks as I am scientifically starving at the moment.

[As if on cue, his stomach proceeds to rumble, causing him to drop character and grab onto it in an overdramatic flair. The feed ends there.]

[...Somehow, science couldn't prepare Teddie for Kyouko walking in on them, despite that she...you know, lives with them. Maybe bears shouldn't be scientists after all...]

W-WAHHH!! We've been found out!!

[Breaking character, Teddie swipes away all his diagrams with both paws, until the walls are bear once again.]

ABORT! ABORT!!! Burn everything, Peek-chan! Leave no trace bearhind!

[ Kyouko catches glimpses of cities, but has no idea what it's about. She leans on the threshold as he scampers around. ]

Plannin' somethin'? [ Being as vague as possible is the easiest way to get him even more panicked. ]

[It is super effective.]

Me?! NEVER! I can't even plan breakfast, let alone anything at this scale. I'm just...having a paper party! ...While wearing glasses!

It's all the rage these days, just ask anybody!

[ She chuckles. ] They're cute.

[ She bops him on the nose. ] Relax. 'm messin' with ya. Heard yer stomach, let's get somethin' ta eat.

[Although he calms down from his outburst, it's still painfully obvious that he's a little rattled. Surprises were never his strong suit... If he could succeed just this once...]

R-Right, food! You know me, I'm all about food. Hahahaha...ha...ha...heheh.... Let's hurry bearfore I keel over.

[His ears fold back, NOTHING IS SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS AT ALL.]

[ He does look a little peaky. She wanders down the hall in front of him and throws open the fridge. ]

Hm. Hmm... Yukiko needs ta get more groceries. [ Guess who's been eating most of them? ]

[Let's be rational, Teddie probably didn't help. And yet, hearing there's a lack of food somehow cheers him up.]

Ooohhhhh noooooo, what a pity. Guess we'll just have to grin and bear it and go out to eat, faaaaaaaaaaar away from here.

[Giving Peek ample time to get rid of any and all evidence...]

[ She raises an eyebrow. ] Yer not subtle, Teds.

[ Ruffling his hair. Maybe affecting his fashion sense will get him to talk? ] Whatcha hidin', huh?

[No, his hair, his perfectly styled hair... If he wasn't so determined, he'd crack the second a strand was out of place.]

Nothing, I swear! I'm just sooooo hungry, and nobody's feeding me right now! It's making me all jumpy.

[Yes, good cover, amazing.]

[ Kyouko rolls her eyes. She'll ask about it later. Or find out somehow inadvertently. Whichever happens first.

She shakes her head and wanders down the hall and out the door. ] C'mon, let's find somethin' then.

[Aw yeah, crying always works. Teddie chuckles internally and prays Peek knows how to burn evidence, he's certain he can stall Kyouko long enough to make that happen.]

Since it's almost Chr- ...Hearth's Warming, I do believe it's lady's choice~

Yeah? [ She grins and puts a stick of Pocky in her mouth, offering him one as well. Appetizer! ]

Hey, let's have milkshakes for lunch. Cause we can, and we're bears.

[ You can do anything when you're bears. ]

[Of course he eats the whole thing in one bite, of course while it's still in her hand. Of course.]

I like the way you think~

[If only his friends followed the same logic.]

How 'bout we make things a little more interesting? I betcha I can beat you there!

No way!

[ She falls to all fours immediately and begins (ahem) bearrelling down the road, hurtling towards the shake shack. ]

[Teddie hasn't even started yet as he watches her race down the road.]

Oh no~ I'm gonna lose, what ever will I do?

[Yes, the farther away from the agency, the better. Peek better get her shell into the gear after this, she owes him.

Well, might as well stop stalling. Falling onto all fours, he chases after her.]

[ She ducks behind a building and lies in wait for him. When he passes by, she tackles him. Sneak attack! ]

[Teddie died that day.

And by died, I mean fell over easily because there's no way he saw that coming.]

GAH!! N-No fair! I thought you went straight for the milkshakes! THE MILKSHAKES!

[ Kyouko giggled. ] Ya were too slow.

[ She lies on top of him, snuggling him (in the middle of the street. ] Slowpoke.

[He can't help it, he's too fat.]

Nah, you're just too fast. [He bumps his nose against hers.]

[ She bumps his nose back. ... Looking around, she sees that nobody's staring at them. (Nobody important. Just a few random ponies she doesn't know.) She gives him a quick smooch on the muzzle. ]

[Even if important people were staring, Teddie wouldn't care. He's not embarrassed of Kyouko or his feelings for her, he wouldn't have made that scroll message if he was.]

If I didn't know better, Kyo-chan, I'd think you were trying to seduce me.

S'workin'? [ She nuzzles him a bit more. Milkshakes were important and going to be a thing, yes. But this is nice, too. ]
