Chapter 2: Help From the Element of Kindness

Starlight made her way over to the castle running to the room with the map where Twilight sat reading a spellbook more than likely for the hundredth time, Twilight looked up from her book and smiled at Starlight who gave a smile back.

“Hey Starlight!” She greeted cheerfully happy to see her student.
“Hello Twilight! I need advice.” Starlight said sitting in one of the chairs around the map with a small smile towards her teacher.
“Really? What do you need?” Twilight asked closing her book and setting it aside focusing her attention on her student with a look of curiosity.

Starlight told Twilight what had happened when she first saw Sketch Melody and met her and how she felt at the time of the event. While she was talking Twilight gathered her thoughts on the situation Starlight was talking about feeling the same sadness that Starlight had that reminded Twilight with her experience with Moon Dancer.

“I feel so bad for her Twilight there has to be something I can do, She doesn't think that she needs friends.” Starlight stated looking down at her hooves.
“This reminds me of what happened with me and Moon dancer.” Twilight stated.
“Really? What happened?” Starlight asked. “Maybe this can help me with Sketch Melody.”

Twilight nodded telling Starlight what had happened, Starlight took mental notes in her mind while Twilight told her tale, hoping that some of these would help with what was going on.

“I hope that helped you a bit.” Twilight said giving a hopeful smile.

Starlight looked at her with a thankful look mixed with determination.

(*reading the story fills you with Determination…* XD sorry I had to XD I’ve watched wayyyy too many let's plays of Undertale XD)

“It’s a start, thank you so much Twilight, this has given me some ideas.” Starlight replied with a smile.
“ok, if you need more help i am happy to help.” Twilight offered.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Starlight stated jumping out of her chair. “I’ll be back later for dinner.”

After saying goodbye Star light walked out of the castle and headed back into Ponyville. While walking in town thinking Starlight found herself bumping into somepony. As she was about to apologise she but recognized the pony she bumped into.

“Oh Fluttershy!” Starlight stated/exclaimed helping the yellow Pegasus up. “I’m sorry, I was in thought.”
“Oh its ok Starlight.” Fluttershy stated with a smile. “Is everything ok?”
“Just working on my first friendship task.” Starlight stated informing Fluttershy what was going on.
“Oh!” Fluttershy squeaked. “I’m actually on my way to see her father.”

"Her father?" Starlight asked curiously she pressed on. "Why are you going to see her father?"
"Oh he needed me to take a look at his dog Ringo."
“Would you mind me tagging along to learn a little more about her?” Starlight asked hoping to learn more about Sketch Melody from her father with Fluttershy's help.
“No problem.” Fluttershy agreed bringing a bit of worry off of Starlight's shoulders.

The two mares walked together they spotted an orange house with a blue roof. When get got to the door Fluttershy knocked. Starlight wondered to herself what Sketch's father looked like, did he look mean? Or was he kind and relaxed?

The questions ran in Starlight’s mind as they trotted through Ponyville, the citizens all smiling and talking to each other, seeing this calmed Starlight glimmer down greatly. Hoping that she could make a friend like that with other ponies outside of Twilight and her friends. Fluttershy came to a stop in front of a cottage with a small shed labeled “Sports Equipment”.

“What does Blaze Heat do?” Starlight asked Fluttershy.
“He coaches sports for the little colts and fillies in ponyville, he used to coach the wonderbolts at one point.” Fluttershy replied with a smile.
“Really?” Starlight questioned her eyes full of curiosity. “Why does he coach the school ponies?”
“Because my grandson likes to play sports.” A gruff voice said with a laugh.

Fluttershy and Starlight looked behind them both spooked and behind them stood a tall orange Pegasus stallion, with a short black mane with a baseball hat between his ears and a whistle around his neck.

“Hello Mister Blaze!” Fluttershy greeted.
“Hello Fluttershy.” Blaze laughed hard.
“What's so funny?” Starlight asked.

Blaze looked down at Starlight a smile still brimming on his face.

“You’re faces when I spooked ya!” He chuckled. “You’re the princesses student right?”
“Yes I am.” Starlight replied then thought for a moment. “Wait you said grandson right Sketch Melody has a child?”
“No no.” Blaze said with a laugh. “My stepdaughter Diamond Sparkle has a little colt named Shooting Star.”
“Oh that’s right, Applejack said something about Sketch Melody having a sister.” Starlight thought to herself while Blaze showed Fluttershy to where his dog was laying down sick.

Moments later Blaze trotted back over to Starlight and stopped in front of her.

“Fluttershy said you had a few questions for me about Sketch Melody?” Blaze asked Starlight.
“Yes I do.” Starlight answered.
“May I ask why?” Blaze asked as he walked into his house with starlight following him.

Starlight sat at the table that was in the kitchen while Blaze grabbed some cups and some lemonade which Starlight gratefully accepted a Glass while she told him what had happened and he listened politely taking a seat at the table.

“That doesn’t surprise me.” Blaze said after Starlight finished her story. “But shutting her friends out and saying that she doesn’t need them is new.”
“I thought as much.” Starlight replied with a sigh. “What might have caused this?”
“That I don’t know anything about, she hasn’t told me or her sister anything.” Blaze answered. “But if there is anyone she would talk to about this it would be Flare Spark.”
“Flare Spark?” Starlight asked with curiosity. “Isn’t she the Pegasus that does fireworks?”

Blaze nodded, Starlight felt a spark of hope in her gut, she was Finally getting somewhere.

After getting directions, Starlight got up and thanked Blaze Heat for the information and ran outside giving Fluttershy a quick goodbye and a glass of lemonade before running off.
