Dreams Do Come True

i got a few pm's asking for it and here you go

Shortly after joining the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Star was invited to his first CMC meeting at their clubhouse outside of Sweet Apple Acres. After they brainstormed for a while, they couldn’t really think of anything to try. So the CMC decided to just play at the clubhouse until Applejack came for them. She usually made sure they all got home safe since they were still her responsibility as long as they were on the farm. Right before they left for the night, Shooting Star had asked Sweetie Belle to talk to him, away from the other crusaders. While the other crusaders were cleaning up their mess, Sweetie and Star went to the picnic table under the tree.

“Sweetie Belle, I’m happy you decided to talk to me without the other two. Sometimes they can get really excited over nothing.” Shooting Star began, unsure of how he was going to ask what he wanted to ask.

“We’ve been friends for a long time, and I have a lot of fun every time we play together. But I don’t always get to see you, which makes me sad. I thought maybe we could you know, play more, together, without the girls?” Star asked, fully aware of how silly his question sounded.

Sweetie fixed Star with a look that very much mirrored her sister’s when something confused her. “Shooting Star, are you asking me out on a date?” Sweetie asked, half smiling, half laughing. “Why, that’s the most roundabout way you could have asked. But I’m glad you did, because I think I like you too.”

Sweetie had called his bluff, and very skillfully. “Uhm, yeah…” he coughed, trying to hide the goofiest grin ever. “Will you go with me to sugarcube corner or the donut shop sometime?” Star asked, bolstered by Sweetie’s acceptance of his crush. They heard a rustling in the tree above them, and when they looked , nothing was there but a few falling leaves.
“I’d love to.” She said, flashing him a coy grin and flipping her tail in his face as she left. He followed quickly after her, eager to be in her presence. This whole love thing was new to them both, but they had to learn somehow, right?

Shadow was in the tree above the picnic table, hunting for one of Fluttershy’s birds who had flown off in fear. Fluttershy was incredibly worried and quickly enlisted Shadow’s help. She had a dreadful fear of heights and couldn’t bear to climb or fly very high for very long. Funny fear for a Pegasus to have, Shadow thought to himself as he was wandering about inside the tree. He heard voices below him, which sounded quite familiar. Poking his head out between the boughs, he

eavesdropped on a conversation between Shooting Star and Sweetie Belle. It was rare to see one crusader without the others, and Shadow’s curiosity got the best of him. He was surprised at what he heard and found it kind of cute. Star had just asked Sweetie Belle out, which also confirmed Shadow’s suspicions he’d had for a while now. Damian had been similarly shy in his past life, Shadow noted

Shadow then nearly fell out of the tree, and managed to barely pull his head back in before Star and Sweetie looked his way. Gripping onto the tree branch for dear life, he waited in silence until he could no longer hear hoofsteps.

Then, there was a flash of blue against the tree branches. The bird Shadow had been looking for was on the branch just above him. Reaching out with a hoof, he made a grab for the bird and failed. Losing all control of his body, Shadow fell out of the tree with a painful –whump- sound, and landed on his flank, feeling quite dizzy. His eyes were spinning in their sockets.

When he looked forward, he saw two very confused crusaders staring at him, Applebloom wearing a dumbfounded look, Scootaloo was on the verge of laughing at the grown unicorn. Seeing a unicorn fall out of a tree was quite hilarious, apparently, as Scootaloo lost all control of her laughter at the sight of his spinning eyes.

Shadow sat up, and proceeded to run in the opposite direction, forgetting all about the stupid bird he was chasing. He just realized he embarrassed himself in front of a pair of children, who would probably not let him live it down. Better the CMC than Applejack or Rarity.

Since the other CMC had yet to notice they left, Star and Sweetie took this time to go on their little date. Star decided he wanted to take Sweetie to The Ice Cream Shoppe, since Pinkie would undoubtedly make a fuss about the two young ponies being together without the other CMC. After picking up his bits bag from home, Star met Sweetie outside the library, and they headed off towards their destination.Orange Sherbet built the old Ice Cream Shoppe from the ground up several years ago. It was now frequented often by many

denizens of Ponyville, young and old alike. This particular day had been pretty slow for the humble shop owner, and he was about to close up shop early when a pair of young ponies, probably no older than 7 or 8, walked into his door. Fixing them with the most earnest smile he could muster, he spoke to the pair.

“What can I get you kids today” Sherbet announced happily, greeting the young pair.

“Uh, I don’t know.” Star said, reading over the brightly colored menu. “Sweetie, what would you like?” Star turned to his not-yet-marefriend.

“I’ll have vanilla with a lot of raspberry and blackberry syrup, with lots of sprinkles!” Sweetie announced happily, bouncing around a little.

“Give me chocolate ice cream with strawberry syrup and cherry chunks. And lots of chocolate sprinkles” Star announced happily after making his decision. While their Ice Cream was being prepared, Star and Sweetie sat down at the counter.

“Did you hear that weird noise in the tree, Sweetie?” Star asked, the memory suddenly popping back into his mind.

“Yeah I did, but when we looked there was nothing there, remember?”

“True, but I couldn’t help but feel like we were being watched. By what, I’ll never know.” Star said, making small circles on the counter with a hoof.

“You’re just imagining things, Star. It was probably just a squirrel or bird or something. Who could possibly want to spy on a pair of innocent kids? Some tree creeper or something? I’ve never heard of such weird ponies. Maybe it was squirrel ninjas.” Sweetie said, a hint of a laugh in her voice.

"You’re probably right, Sweetie” Star said, as their porcelain bowls clanked onto the table, being served by the owner himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadow was now calm, after having run off the adrenaline that was pumping through his veins in the aftermath of being laughed at by Scootaloo and falling out of the tree. He decided he would hunt for the bird later. As he walked back to his cottage, he noticed his letter was still in his mailbox, unsent.“Luna save me….”

Then a Familiar voice rang in his head, omnipotent.“I might join her” which was then followed by maniacal laughter.
