Silver Hearts

Flurry Heart felt lighter than air as she entered her aunt's castle. She still couldn't believe that the colt she had a crush on was taking her to the Ball. She was so excited that she didn't notice that her aunt had a guest.

"Auntie Twily! Guess what, Pound is taking me to the Ball." Flurry said excitedly.

"That's great Bug!" Twilight said using her nickname for her niece, which caused Flurry Heart to roll her eyes.

"Please don't call me that Aunty." Flurry said. Then she noticed her aunt's guest.

"Oh, Flash how are you?" Flurry Said to Flash Sentry.

"Well I was getting bored guarding that big Crystal Palace and your Aunt asked me to help chaperone the Ball, and Sunburst decided to watch the castle." Flash said, "now, who is Pound?"

"My friend from school." Flurry said thinking quickly.

"Oh hush Flash." Twilight giggled, "I'm happy for you dear. "

Flurry saw that Her aunt and Flash had been in the process of moving a mirror when she had come in.

"What's with the mirror?" Flurry asked.

"I'm moving it to a locked room, both Pinkie and Lyra keep trying to convince me to let them visit Canterlot High." Twilight explained, "This way they won't be tempted during the ball."

"Oh,"

"So have you picked out a dress yet?" Twilight asked, "because we could get matching gowns. I know Rarity wants to make you one."

"Not yet." Flurry answered.

==================================

Across Ponyville, in a large house, Silver Spoon was feeling depressed. All her friends had dates for the Hearth's Warming Ball, and she didn't. It was at times like these that she wished that her foalhood friend, Diamond Tiara, still lived in Ponyville.

"What's wrong Silvy." Octavia asked her younger sister from across the coffee table.

"Nothing really I guess. I'm glad that Flurry is going with Pound to the Ball, but I still don't have any one to go with." Silver Spoon sighed, "perhaps Scootaloo is right and I spend too much time with my books."

"Look, Silver," Octavia said, placing her cup of hot cocoa on the table, "The dance is in one week, I promise you that we'll find you a date by then."

"You promise." Silver Spoon said.

"Have I ever let you down?" Octavia said. It pained her to see her little sister so sad. Octavia began thinking of ideas to get her sister a date to the dance.
