Dove pressed out. Her travel bags behind her in a cart. Celestia and Luna saw to her bags and assured her safety, but she was alone the last stretch with her friends, setting out beyond Ponyville. Her friends followed, but needed to turn away, Dove hoping them well and awaiting at the final stretch of trail before it curved out into widened hills. Starburst remained. The sun's glow was upon them. An early temperament.

"I must move on myself, in some ways."

"...I'll be there. Whenever, if ever, always."

"Mon cherie, you are too sweet."

Dove smiled. Starburst hugged her. Dove hoisted her cart's pull around her, and she continued on. Starburst stood there until morning past. She smiled on, watching Dove in the distance.

"Ah, mon cherie! Shall we begin our date today? I'm sorry to have kept you, my beautiful cherie."
