Star-Song

As Sweet-Song and Meadow walked through the city many ponies gawked at the two. Especially the stallions who threw broad whistles in Sweet-Song’s direction. The mare tensed up in response her face going crimson as she now wished she had blush on her face. Her steps we’re already shaky with the heels but somehow she was able to tell her legs we’re shaking from fear and anxiety. But Sweet-Song continued to follow knowing that her daughter would be disappointed if she ran away.

Not to mention she couldn’t run in the heels anyway; Meadow had a pleased smile on her face. Getting a surge of happiness from it she ever started to swing her hips for a minute. She stopped only when she felt Sweet-Song's eye’s on her not wanting her mother to raise any more eyebrows. Eventually the two got to what looked to be a large folk victorian mansion. The mansion was colored a light honey amber color.

The windows we’re shaped like arches three being on the upper part of the house while two we’re on the bottom. The windows had cafe styled shutters as the house had a gambrel roof with a tile pattern covering it. The front had a australian door as it was colored a more toasted shade of honey amber. Sweet-Song looked at Meadow causiouly;

“Uhhh……Meadow…..why are we here?” She said.

“We’re almost to your surprise.” Meadow said, Sweet-Song bit her but was forced to move. As her daughter made her legs move forward with her magic. When they got in the mansion they immediately heard a lot of chatting. The two got to the foyer and saw a crowd of reporters was filling the room completely with reporter ponies. There was a long staircase that lead to Star-Studded who was wearing a midnight blue dress.

That had a pattern that mimicked the starry night sky almost exactly. Sweet-Song felt her heart pound what was her sister doing taking her to Star-Studded's house!? Is this why her daughter had dressed her up? But her anxiety started to fade away as she heard Star-Studded speak.

“Now I’m not taking a special pony out to the Applewood Ball….but….I will be taking a “friend” I met her a few days ago. And…..she’s right here!” Sweet-Song froze as the reporters turned to her and Meadow; or at least her. Meadow had snuck into the crowd so that her mum could have the spotlight. The reporters immediately took pictures by the dozen and asked her questions. Star-Studded coaxed her forward and as of her mind went on autopilot Sweet-Song did as she was told. The reporters continued to take pictures as Sweet-Song clumsily walked up the stairs.

When she got to the final stretch Star-Studded pulled her up and whispered quickly into her ear.

“After this I want to talk to you in private. Don’t run away. Just play along I need to dispel some rumors.” She then pulled back as the press was still snapping pictures like mad.

“Calm down everyone; calm down. This is my “friend” Sweet-Song Ballad.” Star-Studded said, as the mare beside her was panicking in her head.

'What does she want? Is this going on the paper? Why is Meadow allowing this to happen?’ She thought,

“My friend and I will be wearing costumes that match each other. Since this is the horror year of the Applewood Ball. Now if your done with questions I have to plan.” Star-Studded said. The news ponies started walking out of the mansion muttering among themselves. Meadow was revealed to be sitting down and smiling smugly. Star-Studded then wrapped her right hoof around Sweet-Song's back. And walked towards her room; while the poor mare beside her was completely incapable of saying anything.

Once they we’re in Star-Studded's room the taller mare sat on her bed. While Sweet-Song was frozen like a statue;

“Now that we’re alone I think it’s time to talk about what happened at the ice cream shop.” Star-Studded said. Sweet-Song's face went red, she ran for the door only for Star-Studded to drag her back.

“Listen to me. I’m not mad.” She said, but Sweet-Song struggled against the magic as tears escaped her eye’s. Star-Studded groaned and levitated Sweet-Song over to her forcing the mare to look into her eye’s. The super star then kissed her and just like that both mares felt like they we’re the only ponies in the world. Sweet-Song’s mind went blank for a moment before it started screaming:

‘BY THE BURNING SUN CELESTIA RAISES! This can’t be happening!’ Finally Star-Studded released and put her on the ground. Sweet-Song’s legs shook like a leaf before she landed hard on her flank. She looked at Star-Studded gobmacked while the taller mare had a hint of blush on her face slightly giggling. Finally Sweet-Song found her voice;

“W—W—Wh—Why…....d—di—did….y—you…ki—kiss…..m—me?” She said. Star-Studded blushed even redder;

“Because I love you.” She said timidly; Sweet-Song felt like she was going to pass out but she hung onto consciousness.

“B—But…..I—I….though….yo—you….didn’t—” She stuttered, until Star-Studded interrupted.

“I didn’t say anything. You ran off before I could get over shell-shock to reply. I thought about it and I realized I love you of course I had to lie to the press. We don’t need that kind of trouble; we can got to the Applewood Ball dressed in costumes. Cause not only will it be fun but nopony will recognize us. It could be our official date……if you still want me that is.” Sweet-Song blinked before a smile came to her face,

“Yes! Yes! Yes! I’d love that!” She said. Before she kissed Star-Studded; both mares melted into the kiss.

“Oh and by the way. You look adorable.” Star-Studded said once they left the kiss, Sweet-Song blushed before something clicked in her head.

“Wait…..did Meadow set this up?” She said, Star-Studded giggled.

“With a little help from Timidthy, Binkey, and Blood Bone of course.” She said, Sweet-Song groaned in annoyance. But a beaming smile spread on her face anyway.
