Part 1: Dear Pinkie Pie...

Dear Pinkie Pie,

I want to tell you how I feel, but I don't even know.

Starlight sighed. Think. Feel. That's what Twilight said. That's what she said to do. Starlight could only pull blanks. She knew why, she just couldn't put it in words. Something shimmering caught Starlight's eye and she glanced out her window. A certain blue unicorn was standing waving. She levitated crystals above her head, smiling. She had obviously learned a new spell. She walked over, opening her window.

"Trixie...what do you want?"

"Jeez, grumpy much? I learned a new spell."

"I figured as much."

"Well come on out!" Starlight grunted, unwillingly making her way out of the castle. She needed to think. Trixie bounced when she saw Starlight.

"So, what did you learn Trixie?" The sarcasm in her voice had no effort to be hidden. Trixie rolled her eyes.

"So, I just learned the Manifestation De Cristal Spell (The Crystal Manifestation Spell)! So I was reading an old book called..." Trixie's words trailed off in Starlight's head as she thought of the Pink earth pony. Her smile, her eyes, even her bouncy mane. "Starlight...Starlight...Starlight...Starlight!" Starlight gasped as she saw Trixie's angry eyes.

"Wha-huh?"

"Did you even hear anything I said?"

"Uhhh...no?" Starlight blinked, not nervously like usual. More often than not, Starlight would show interest in anything she had to say. But, she had important matters to tend to.

"Ugh, Trixie cannot believe you! I'm trying to tell you something very important, and you're not even listening."

"Well, it's not as important as something else I need to do."

"Oh yeah? Like what." She was already stressed out before, and now Trxie wouldn't get out of her face. She got closer and closer, repeating "Like what" over and over. At least until she pushed Starlight over the edge.

"Like figuring out how to tell Pinkie Pie I like her!" There was a moment of silence before a voice interrupted it.

"S-Starlight?" Starlight turned quickly, recognizing the voice. She and Trixie gaped in unison. Starlight had completely forgotten. And now the two stood still by her cart, in complete and utter surprise and shock.

"Sunburst?!"

"Soo..." Trixie started, lightly tapping her left hoof. "What happened with Sunburst?" She asked as Starlight walked through the back door to her cart. Starlight groaned, falling down upon the grass in a heap on strange noises and sounds until she barely lifted her head up to respond.

"He's the guest bedroom... I completely forgot he was coming today!"

"Well, you're smart." Trixie sarcastically, causing Starlight to glare at her. "Sorry," She quickly replied."But, how much did he hear?" At the question Starlight buried her head in the ground again.

"Everything..." Trixie stared at her friend for a few minutes, before happily trotting over to her.

"Hey, you know what can fix this?" Trixie said cheerfully, unsure if this would make her friend happy or just angry at her.

"What."

"A spa day, obviously." She flicked her mane, and Starlight lifted her head. Trixie cringed at the sight of her friend's face being covered in dirt and mud. "...And you need one." Starlight took her hoof and began to walk with her depressingly.

"I don't know what to do." She said as they walked.

"What do you mean? Just, tell her you like her."

"It's not that easy, Trixie. I don't know if she will like me, or if she'll hate me..."

"Hate you? Please, I haven't had much conversation with her, but from what I've heard....it's practically impossible."

"I've been known to do the impossible." Trixie stared blank momentarily, unsure of how to respond. She smiled suddenly, nudging her friend.

"If she rejects you, then she's missing out," Trixie blinked, making Starlight slightly blush from the compliment. "And if she doesn't, then you get what you want. I know there's probably not many like her. And my gut is telling me she won't full on reject you. And least not fully. But why don't you start on everything you like about her?"

"What you mean?"

"Well, for instance," she paused in the road, lifting a hoof to her chest and standing up on her hind legs. "I could tell you everything I admire from..." She paused again, making over dramatic movement with her head as she began walking once more. "Such and such to such and such."

"Such and such, to such and such?" Starlight smirked.

"I know it isn't 'Twilight Sparkle' advice but, it's all you're getting from me." Starlight rolled her eyes as the duo reached the spa.

"I got advice from Twilight about this." She said quietly.

"Oh really?" Trixie said sarcastically. "And what did the 'all wise and all knowing princess of friendship' have to say?"

"Almost the same as you. Say my feelings. But honestly Trixie? I don't even know what they are."

"...Okay. I'm gonna do something and you're gonna answer with a yes or a no. Got me?" Starlight nodded in understanding, making Trixie cough.

"Do you like Pinkie Pie?"

"Yes."

"Do you like Pinkie Pie's mane?"

"What does that even-" Trixie shushed Starlight before she could even finish her sentence.

"Do you?" Starlight blushed angrily, nodding. "Do you like her laugh?"

"Yes."

"Her smile?"

"Yes."

"Her high-pitch-over-the-top-annoying-voice?"

"Hey! It's not annoying! I happen to like her voice, thank you very much." Trixie rolled her eyes once more, before stepping in front of Starlight.

"You want to know what your feelings are?" Starlight nodded. "You have a crush." Starlight groaned.

"Tell me something I don't know!"

"I just did. The fact that you just said everything you like about her, practically, you've already shown you really do! If you were hesitant about your feelings before, you shouldn't be now. You know what you like, and I'm sure you know why you like it. You just have to admit it to yourself before you admit it to her. And remember-" She stood up on her hind legs again, making the same pose from earlier. "I could tell you everything I admire."
