Ever since he moved to Canterlot, Thunderlane has grown tired of sleeping alone in his cold bed. He craves physical contact with another stallion, but whenever he tries to make a move, he finds himself flustered and tongue-tied. Feeling particularly bold one evening, he drops by his favorite bar and is shocked to find the Wonderbolts’ co-captain, Soarin, drinking alone in a corner.

With a confidence born of desperation, Thunderlane strikes up a conversation with him and is pleasantly surprised when Soarin is more than happy to chat. As Thunderlane grows more comfortable with Soarin's company, he begins to question whether he holds any interest in him. Blushing madly, but feeling more daring than he's felt in weeks, Thunderlane decides to make his move — and may discover that even celebrities wish for somepony to hold onto at night, just like him.
