Last chapter. Pure fluff XD

Dash had made Starlight tend to her wounds for running away, and during that time, the two were allowed to finally have a heartfelt talk.

"So, Dash, Pinkie told me you enjoyed being a father and was very protective of her and Twilight."

"Did she now?" Dash reclined in her couch as Starlight placed wet rags on her gashes. "Interesting, well she would be correct."

"I've just been very uncomfortable with this whole thing. I mean, I don't normally think sex when I think of friendship."

"I didn't expect you to. It's not a normal thing, and to be honest, we should not have forced you into this. If you don't want to do this anymore..."

"No, don't worry. I like it just fine, I'm just confused about my own feelings."

"I see. That's fine."

There was silence for a while.

Twilight and Pinkie entered the room as Starlight was nearing the end of her task. "How are you feeling, Starlight? I missed you, big sis," Pinkie gave Starlight a hug, and Starlight returned the embrace.

"I'm good. It's all thanks to Dad." Dash smiled.

Twilight approached Starlight. "Have you learned anything about friendship, Starlight?"

"Well, I learned that everypony is different in their own way. And that sometimes it's fun to explore each other's differences. In other words, don't force everypony to be equal," Starlight blushed.

"I think you've been fully converted to the Ways of Friendship! We should throw a Starlight Glimmer is Best Pony party!" Pinkie grabbed her party cannon out of thin air and blasted it.

"Oh hay no, I'm Best Pony," Dash snapped.

As Dash and Pinkie argued over who was Best Pony, Starlight packed her bags to head home the next day. The last thing she did was write a letter of friendship, a long-time-coming that would seal the deal on what she had felt for the weeks after the events of Flurry Heart's Crystalling.

"Welcome home, fillies. How was your trip?" Applejack was the first to see the four mares out of the train back to Ponyville.

"It was...fun," Starlight shared a glance with her family.

"You simply must tell me about the fashion there! I am in need of some new inspiration!" Rarity insisted.

"Um...Rarity, didn't we tell you that when Applejack and I went to Las Pegasus?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, yes of course dear." Rarity blushed. Starlight then noticed Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy share a knowing look with each other. There was something they knew that Starlight didn't. That was weird. But for now, she decided not to question it as the seven friends trotted to Hayburger to catch up.

Author's Note

And that's the end of the story! Now all I have to do is wait for Saturday's episode to spoil all of my headcanons. I have an epilogue as well, and then it's officially peace out and on to the next story! Love all of you and I promise the future stories will not suck as badly as this one XD
