Discord looked at StarGazer surprised. He had kissed her out of happiness, not love. Or so he thought. Discord closed his eyes and fell back into the kiss. Seconds after Discord closed his eyes, StarGazer opened hers. "Why the hell is he kissing me?! I do not, and I repeat do not love him! I like him as a friend. And I'm sure he's thinking the same thing. Right? Right?!" StarGazer thought. But she closed her eyes and fell back into the kiss.

When they finally pulled away, both were blushing a deep red. "That was nice." Discord said smilimg. StarGazer nodded in agreement. Discord then released her from his grasp. "We should probably go downstairs before the others start to worry." Discord said. StarGazer nodded. Both of them had stopped blushing. The two walked downstairs holding each others hoof, or paw. RainbowDash was the first to notice.

"Oooh. Discord has got himself a marefriend!" RainbowDash exclaimed, with sass in her voice. Discord blushed, while StarGazer giggled.

"StarGazer is not my marefriend RainbowDash! And you know that." Discord said. RainbowDash rolled her eyes and flew off.

"So you think of me as your marefriend?" StarGazer asked slyly.

"Of course not. You're my friend. And I care about my friends." Discord said blushing. StarGazer giggled as she went to go eat breakfast with the others. "Of course I don't love her. There is no way I'd feel that way for somepony. Unless I did love her. What am I saying? Of course I don't love her. And I bet she's thinking the same thing. Right? Right?!" Discord thought. When Discord entered the kitchen he saw the others talking about something.

"That's right! He asked me out!" Rarity squealed.

"Oh Rarity, somepony will ask all of us out. Probably our secret crushes." AppleJack said.

"Who do you like AppleJack?" RainbowDash asked. AppleJack blushed.

"Ah' like Flim." AppleJack said. Everypony stared at her in dis-belief, except StarGazer, Discord, and Prickle who did't know who Flim was.

"But didn't Flim try to make the Apple family out of business?" Twilight asked.

"He did. But only because Flam made him do it. Because technically he's 'the oldest'." AppleJack explained. Everypony nodded to show that they apologized. StarGazer was now curious. She had heard those names before, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. Finally she had remembered.

"I've had trouble with the Flim-Flam brothers before." StarGazer said. Everypony looked at her, even Discord looked a little surprised.

"You have?" Fluttershy asked. StarGazer nodded.

"A few years back Flim and Flam appeared at the Canterlot Castle to prove that they can make the stars appear better than me. So both of them tried to conjour up a star, but they could't do it. I finally decided  to show them I am best at my job, and made all of the stars appear at once." StarGazer said. After StarGazer told her story, Rarity somehow changed the subject back to stallions.

Even StarGazer was talking about some stallions who had asked her out for Hearts and Hooves day. Discord started to feel a little jealous about StarGazer being asked out by a group of stallions. But he didn't know why. He and StarGazer were just friends. Or so they thought.

After the talk StarGazer thought that it was best if somepony had shown her all of Ponyville. Discord chose to be her guide. While they were walking around Ponyville a paper heart flew in StarGazer's face. StarGazer took it off with her magic. After she took it off she saw a trio of fillies running toward her. One was a unicorn, the other was a pegasus, and the other was a earh pony. "Sorry ma'am. But Scootaloo, AppleBloom, and I think that paper heart you're holding is ours." The pale unicorn said. StarGaze then gave her the heart.

"Thank you. Oh by the way I'm SweetieBelle." SweetieBelle said.

"I'm Scootaloo" Scootaloo said.

"And Ah'm AppleBloom." AppleBloom said.

"WE'RE THE CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS!!!!" The three boomed. StarGazer and Discord flattened their ears. StarGazer thought the three looked familiar.

"You three wouldn't be related to Rarity, RainbowDash. and AppleJack right?" StarGazer asked.

"Actually we are." AppleBloom said.

"RainbowDash is my sister." Scootaloo said. "Well I'm actually her adopted sister."

"Rarity is my sister." SweetieBelle squeaked.

"And AppleJack is my sister." AppleBloom said.

"I thought you three fillies looked familiar." StarGazer said.

"Well we gotta go. We're making something for somepony." SweetieBelle said. "So bye." The CMC ran away with their paper heart. StarGazer chuckled. "Fillies." StarGazer thought as she and Discord went home.
