Star Tracker Joins Twilight's School Of Friendship
Ever since Princess Twilight and her friends opened her school, it became a success. From all around Equestria: ponies, griffins, minotaurs, yaks, and even hippogriffs and dragons had come to join the school to learn everything they needed to know about Friendship, and the magic there in. Eventually, word of Twilight’s school was in the papers, spreading interest to all corners of the world beyond their kingdom.
In a house that was nestled in a small glenn, Star Tracker was busily cleaning the dishes in his kitchen. He had recently come back from a wonderful vacation that he took with Twilight’s family, as being an honorary member for one day. It had been one of the most fun experiences of his life, but the best part had been when he stood up to Iron Will, which earned a kiss on the cheek from Twilight.
Star smiled at the memory. In the short time that he knew her, he felt he had grown somewhat close to her. His smile grew brighter still when he found himself hoping that she felt the same way.
“Nah,” he thought to himself, “Wishful thinking, Star. Just a friendly gesture was all. Come on. Me and her? It’s crazy.” Slowly, he stopped scrubbing the one plate that he had been washing for almost a minute, and looked out his kitchen window at the morning sun. “Is it?” He thought. “Sure. I’m talking to myself after all.”
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a bump in the front door.
“That’ll be the morning paper,” he said aloud to nopony in particular. “Sheesh. Here I go, doing it again.”
He opened the door and saw the newspaper pony trotting on down the street, tossing his papers at every front door he passed. Paying no more mind to the newspaper pony, Star took the paper in his teeth and closed the door behind him.
Heading back to his table, where he had already eaten his breakfast, he laid down the newspaper to see what was going on in the world today. His eyes scanned the pages, looking for any interesting stories, until one caught his eye. There on the third page was a story about Twilight Sparkle opening a school to educate others in lessons of friendship.
“Princess Twilight is opening a school!?” He shouted excited. “And there’s still room for more entries! Why isn’t this on the front page? And why am I still talking to myself!?”
In his wildest dreams, he didn’t think he would have an opportunity to see Twilight again. With a sudden spring in his step, he quickly put on his hat and rushed to the door. It was only halfway across the room that he slowed to a stop and threw his hat onto the nearby hat rack.
“No. Come on, Star, think about it. We just met. We didn’t even spend a week together. She probably doesn’t even remember you all that well. If at all.”
With a sigh, he slumped onto his couch. Why would Twilight remember a simple, every day earth pony with no distinguishing features or personality traits whatsoever. Scratch that: he distinguished himself by talking to himself often.
Star Tracker looked around his room, seeing all the furnishings, and bland white walls around him. For all his trappings and belongings, he began to think that there was something missing in his home: other ponies.
In his mind, it clicked into place that there was a reason he talked to himself so much: there was nopony else to talk to. But, when he had gone on vacation with Twilight’s family, he found himself surrounded by ponies he could convey and relate to. Especially Twilight, who had spent more time with him than any of the others. Twilight, who held onto his every word, and shared her experiences with him. Finally, there came the moment she kissed him, and Star felt the same spark in his mind as he did that day.
His mind was made up. He sprang off of his couch, bucked the hat rack so his hat fell onto his head, and rushed out the door.
The bell rang loudly through the halls of Twilight’s school of friendship. It was a glorious friday afternoon, leaving every student feeling exhilarated for the fast-approaching weekend.
“Have a great weekend, make new friends!” Pinkie Pie cheered in front of her students, before bolting out the door. Four of her other friends were already congregated in the main hallway of the school, talking about the busy day they had. Not wanting to be left out of the fun, Pinkie trotted over to join them.
“Class for me was amazing. I’m taking six volunteers to join me on a field trip, to learn about nature and animals.” Fluttershy said.
“Dang. We just started an’ yer already plannin’ a field trip?” Applejack asked, surprised.
“Yes, I love my class already. It’s the best thing to make my students feel happy.” She finished with tears in her eyes.
“Where’s Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“She’s in her office checking the reports. Trust me, darling, she’s taking her time since this is what we’re going to do from now on.” Rarity explained.
“Yeah. Twi sure loves those reports,” Applejack said.
Then out of nowhere, a colt came running through their midst, surprising them all.
“What in tarnation!?”
“Goodness me!
“Hey! Watch it!”
“AAAUUGH!”
“EEP!”
“What’s the big idea plowin’ through us like a tornado in a trailer park?” Applejack said.
“Sorry!” The colt called back, before realizing who he had nearly run down. “Wait: aren’t you all friends with Princess Twilight?”
“Of course, silly colt! Who are you?” Pinkie said, leaning close.
The colt was taken slightly aback by the gesture, but gave his answer. “I’m Star Tracker.”
“Well, it’s a pleasure makin’ yer acquaintance, Star Tracker.” Applejack put her hoof up for a hoof shake.
“Same to you, Applejack?” He shook her hoof.
“You know who I am?”
“Yes. I know all of you: Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.”
Everyone’s eyes went wide after what they heard.
“How do you know our names?!” Fluttershy said, still hiding underneath her friends from the previous scare she had when Star Tracker ran past them.
“Oh, I’m sorry. The thing is I’m here because I saw the newspaper today and noticed that Twilight is running a school.” Star explained.
“That doesn't explain why you know our names.” Rainbow Dash raising her eyebrow.
“I’m getting to that. See, I’ve known about Princess Twilight ever since she saved Equestria from Lord Tirek, and I heard that you’re one of her best friends. I know everything just to let you know.”
That cleared up any doubts the mares had. This wasn’t some stalker. Just a fan who appreciated the work they did to keep the kingdom safe.
“Is she in her office?” Star Tracker asked.
“Who, darling?” Rarity asked.
“Princess Twilight.”
“Yes. Along with Spike and Starlight. They’re doing the reports.” Rarity answered. “You’re here because you want to be part of this school?”
“Yes but is it okay that I talk to her?”
“Of course it is, darling. After all, every new student must be acquainted with their teachers,” Rarity said, as she volunteered to lead Star to Twilight’s office.
Star Tracker felt nervous like before. This is the second time he was going to meet his idol again. Even though he learned however he doesn't have the words to discuss with her.
In Twilight’s office, Spike was writing down some ideas he could do with the other students, while Starlight was helping Twilight grade the reports that were hoofed in. as engrossed as they were in their work, their attention was drawn to the door when Rarity walked in with another pony.
“Hello Rarity. What is it?” Princess Twilight responded.
“Somepony wants to talk to you.” Rarity said, gesturing toward the other pony she had led in.
This was it. The moment of truth. There was a small tightness in his chest as he approached, but it eased when he saw Twilight’s face light up.
“Star Tracker?” Twilight asked. She stopped doing her reports and trotted over to greet the newcomer. “It’s so good to see you again.”
Rarity’s eyes glanced between the two ponies. Sensing the mood between them, she smiled and left the room, silently wishing them both the best of luck.
Star Tracker jumped internally when he heard the door close. Now, he was left in the room with Twilight, and a familiar feeling of apprehension welled up inside of him. “Uh…” He unsurely began, “H-Hi, Princess.”
“Star, I told you that you can call me Twilight,” Twilight giggled. “So, what brought you here?”
“Well--”
“Wait a second,” Twilight turned to the small dragon behind her. “Spike, can you give Star Tracker a seat?”
Spike promptly hopped off the desk and got an extra chair, which was quickly occupied by their guest.
“So, Twilight: is this the fan you’ve been telling us about?” Starlight wondered.
“Yes. He became an honorary member in my family since he won the raffle at the cruise,” Twilight said, turning a slight shade of red.
“You’ve been telling your friends about me?” Star wondered.
“Believe it,” Spike deadpanned. “Every time I think I hear the end of it, she starts up again.”
“Spike,” Starlight said, hushing the dragon, “I don’t think Star’s had a chance to answer Twilight’s question yet.”
“Hm?” Twilight wondered, before she realized what she meant. “Oh. Um, I was wondering why you stopped by.”
Star Tracker did the best he could to appear and behave as normal as he could in front of Twilight. “Well, it’s kind of a serious matter.”
“Oh? What?” Twilight wondered.
“I saw an article about your school in the newspaper today, and I was wondering if...well, I could enroll here.”
“You want to be a student?” Spike replied.
“Yes. Like, I know all about treating others respectfully and everything, but at the same time I know I’m still not the most approachable pony. Just look at all the mistakes I made when I was spending the day with you: letting you pay for dinner, letting you try on clothes that didn’t make you look good. Maybe...you know...getting too close to you.”
Twilight’s ears drooped slightly when she heard the last sentence. “I didn’t upset you, did I?”
“No. I mean, I liked it. But…”
Starlight slowly nodded her head, and her eyes widened when she realized precisely there was between these two. Looking to her side, she saw Spike mimicking vomiting into the wastebasket.
“Spike, I think you and I should go look for some enrollment papers for Star Tracker,” she suggested.
“No we don’t. Twilight’s got a whole stack in her desk,” Spike said.
“No, I’m pretty sure it’s empty,” Starlight said, magically picking Spike up and placing him on her back, before leaving the room. “Come on. I’m sure Twilight will be happy if this new student joins us.”
Now that the others had left, Twilight magically moved her chair next to Star Tracker to speak more personably with him.
“Star Tracker, um...You’re probably a little confused about...you know: that, aren’t you?” Twilight said.
“Kind of,” was all Star Tracker answered, reflecting on his doubts he was having earlier that morning.
“Well, to be honest, I’ve been thinking a lot about it too,” she said, turning another shade of red. To her relief, she saw Star Tracker turning the same color. “But, I think that it’s because of how you talked to me like I was a normal mare.”
“Really?”
“I wasn’t always an alicorn, you know. I used to be a normal pony like everypony else. But, ever since I became a princess, everypony’s been putting me on a pedestal, and expecting me to take care of everything by myself. But, you: you don’t do that. Like, when Iron Will was trying to start trouble with me, you stepped in to defend me, while everypony else expected me to handle it on my own. That’s why I…”
Both ponies turned red, and faced away from one another. The mere memory of it sent a warm shiver through them both. Something they knew they both shared in that moment, and made them slowly look back at each other.
“It was just my way of saying, ‘thank you,’” Twilight said. “And, I think I’d be really glad if you attended this school.”
Star looked down, and saw that Twilight had inched her hoof over his.
“Wow. To think I was afraid to come here today,” Star said.
“Really? Why?”
“It’s nothing. Just, I know I’ve always had issues about personal space. I didn’t think that you’d want to see somepony you just met so soon,” His face fell, as he continued. “I always looked up to you, ever since the Tirek incident. Like, you were the standard all ponies should measure themselves against. When I won the raffle, I was thrilled to finally meet you. And when I got to know you...well...I thought I might want to know you better.”
Twilight’s smile brightened.
“When I saw your school was in the paper, I thought it would be the only way I could see you again. After all, now that you’re teaching, it’s not like you’ll have a lot of free time anymore.” Star shook his head, realizing how what he said sounded. “Aw, listen to me. This probably sounds really stupid.”
After hearing his feelings Twilight smiled again. She saw that he was somepony who she wanted to learn more about as well. She didn’t know the words to tell him so, but could think of a gesture would tell him. She closed her eyes, leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
“Twilight?” Star asked. His heart fluttered when Twilight kissed his other cheek, and wrapped her hooves around his shoulders.
“Did you see that? Gross!” Spike asked, as he, Starlight, Rarity, Pinkie, Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy watched through the window on the classroom door.
“I think it’s wonderful that Twilight’s found somepony to share her heart with,” Fluttershy said.
“But, what about us? Now that she’s got a coltfriend, she won’t have any time for us,” Dash said next.
“Darling, please. I’m sure that we’re still just as special to her. Can’t we allow Twilight some space for her new friend?” Rarity asked.
Pinkie said nothing, but was practically bursting with ideas for a ‘new coltfriend party.’ Then a ‘first date party.’ Then an anniversary party. Then an engagement party, and finally a wedding party. No. No, that was getting ahead of herself. Still, the ideas made her giggle.
Star Tracker slowly put his hooves around Twilight, and felt the calm rhythm of her breath synchronizing with his own.
“You know, I think you’ve come farther than you thought,” Twilight said. “You said that you have issues with personal space, but you knew that coming here to see me was the right decision. That says loads about what you know.”
“Yeah. I think it does,” Star answered.
“I think with a few lessons from our school, you could measure up to, say: me,” Twilight giggled. “And, maybe someday, you could start teaching others about what you learned from your experiences with me, here at this school. About giving others space, and maybe a special course about what happens after friendship.”
A flurry of emotions whirled through Star Tracker’s mind. Here was the mare he looked up to the most, and was surprised to hear how closely she wanted him around. What greater chance could any pony be given. He’d have to have been a fool not to accept.
“I’d like that. I really would,” Star answered.
The two shared a long embrace, which they both hoped would never end.
Twilight heard a noise, and opened her eyes to see that there were all of her friends pressed up against the door. Flaring up her magic, Twilight pulled the blinds above the door closed, and continued to share her moments with Star Tracker, knowing that they would have many more to share in the future.
Author's Note
More love for Star Tracker!
Really loved the season 8 premiere of School Daze. Going to be part of my Reviews Of MLP Month in April.
Ever since Star Tracker became a student in Twilight’s school, things have been working out for him. He learn everything in his classes and he got better grades. Princess Twilight was impressed, and after the past month she sees Star Tracker as a better stallion then before. Especially since his issues are far behind him now. Soon Twilight had a great idea for all the students in school, she wants this friendship thing to be taken to the next level.
On Friday, when the students came in the hallway and to they’re first class of the day, Star Tracker went to Applejack’s classroom to learn more about cooking. He hadn’t done this yet so he thought it might be a good idea.
“Hello Applejack.” Star Tracker greeted Applejack. “I studied really hard for this cooking project.”
“Ah hope ya are because apple pies are always a specialty in the Apple Family.” She said with a paper listing the ingredients in her desk. Star gets to his own desk as ready for class to begin but just minutes before the bell rings, Princess Twilight turns on the speakers in all the classrooms.
“Attention students. I know you’re all in your classrooms, ready for the assignments but I made a assignment for all of you. Please go to the library room immediately.”
After hearing her announcement, everypony makes their way to the library, and so is Star Tracker.
As everypony took their seat, Princess Twilight came into the library with Spike by her holding papers of the assignments. “Today’s assignment will take up the entire day so all of you are excused from your other classes.” While she speaks, Spike hands out the papers to all of the students. “In said assignment I want groups of three to four people to team up. Your team is to go on a journey to different locations across ponyville and nearby villages. During this time I want you all to get to know each other. The destinations you’re going will involve helping the citizens in town, while also showing them friendship. Now this is the first time you’re all going on a journey so I gave all of you a map and the locations are harmless. Have a great day, and make new friends.” After the announcement, everyone left the library, each to get into their respective groups.
Star Tracker was assigned to go to Starlight’s Village and the group he’s in is with Sliverstream and Sandbar. He felt nervous since going on a journey feels difficult, especially since he needs to pack up supplies for his friends. Princess Twilight saw that Star Tracker was still in his seat, still thinking about the assignment.
“Star Tracker? Are you feeling alright?” She asked worriedly. This causes the bluish Stallito blush.
“Nothing really. I mean...having Sandbar and Silverstream is great...it’s just the journey part that scares me.” His expression fell. Twilight knows where he’s coming from since this is the first time he’s gone on a journey.
“Star Tracker, please come here. I want to talk to you.” Star Tracker gets off his seat as asked and takes a step forward. He and Twilight continue their conversation, “Do you want to know why I made this last minute assignment? It’s because you have been great since you’ve attended. Your making such good grades, I think you should try to help out ponies outside of this school.”
“True but going on a journey is impossible. I know you and your friends have been on adventures before but it feels off when you have ponies like me go outside of this school.”
Twilight then put her hoof on his shoulder. “Like I said, it’s a harmless assignment, so no one will get hurt. And the journeys we went on were different, I don’t want everypony to get hurt otherwise this school will be shut down...like before.”
Spike chims in the conversation to remind Tracker, “Starlight is in the fountain square where you’re friends at. She can and will tell you everything about the village itself.”
“Today is going to be great for you and also for Silverstream and Sandbar.” Twilight said. Tracker didn’t respond this time. He knew Twilight had everything under control. Instead, he waved with a smile on his face, leaving Twilight and Spike alone. “He’ll be fine.” Twilight looked at Spike smiling.
At fountain square, Star Tracker, Sandbar, and Sliverstream sit on a bench while listening to Starlight Glimmer go on about the village she used to run.
“Most of the ponies spend their time in the village since they became friends when everything was in..ahem...order. Now I suggest you bring snacks for yourself and when you meet the ponies, show them how much you can be helpful.” She hands out a list of ponies to Star Tracker.
“This is going to be awesome!” Sandbar shouted enthusiastically.
“Sandbar, it’s just an ordinary village in the middle of nowhere.” Tracker replied.
“Aw come on Tracker bro, lighten up!”
“Yes!” Silverstream lean close to Tracker. “I mean sure the place isn’t...incredible but they need our help. Maybe years later in the middle of nowhere we’ll become the middle of the rainforest if we help them on plants. That will make it the best journey in our lives!!”
“Wait...what?!” Star Tracker shouted in confusion.
“Okay Okay! Please break it up.” Starlight said, using her magic to pull Silverstream away from Tracker. “All you three are doing is helping the citizens on they’re daily work. Do your best and show them how great you all are when it comes to friendship.” Starlight finished and leaves them to their own devices.
“So, are we ready to go on a friendship Journey?” Sandbar asked.
“I guess.” Star Tracker commented doubtfully. Silverstream then half hugged half choked both of the ponies as she flew in the air to get to the village.
“Village citizens, here we come!”
Star Tracker sighed, as much as his friends are enjoying themselves, he’s still uncomfortable with this.
Getting To Know Silverstream And Sandbar
Star Tracker and Sandbar walked on foot instead of flying their way to the village because of Silverstream. The excitable Hippogriff decided to become a sea pony during the trip and was splashing around in the river next to them. They walk through the forest intrepidly, each bit of distance causing the trees to disperse.
“Silverstream, I understand you love being a sea pony but do you really need to drop us off on foot?” Star Tracker asks disappointed.
“But Star Tracker,” Silverstream popped her head out of the water. “We should get to know each other so to save our excitement to the village ponies, we really need to show them the greatest friends we are!”
As much as Silverstream is trying to prove a point, it still didn’t made Star Tracker happy. “Yeah, you’re right.”
“What’s the matter dude?” Sandbar turned his head to Tracker. “Aren’t you excited about this new assignment? We get to go Starlight’s hometown.”
Star Tracker stops walking so he can focus on his thoughts. “No. I mean I need to make friends but the journey part...well. It’s harmless, but it’s still complicated.”
“What do you mean?” Silverstream asked.
“Going to a different location seems a little off. I’ve only been a student for weeks and I only made friends who came from Canterlot. Starlight’s old village just seems so...odd to me. I don’t really know how to explain.”
Sandbar walks up to him and tries to understand, “How is the village odd for you? That place was like, Starlight’s past and she wanted to move on since she became friends with Princess Twilight. And in my opinion, the ponies that live there remain there because they like being together in a place where it’s not in a city or town. More of rooroo area or something.”
“Rural.” Silverstream corrects, “But Sandbar has a point. They want to live their because it’s a better place for them. I think if we show them how helpful and friendly we can be, we’ll make more friends than we already have. That’s like...uh...a number higher than the current one. So what’s the real problem?”
Tracker is really speechless now, after hearing Silverstream’s question he blushed a little since he’s hiding his real secret about his reasonings going on this journey.
“Hey, are you blushing?” Silverstream leans in towards him to get a closer look. Tracker blushes harder due to possible revelation. “Ohhh I think I know who you’re thinking about. Princess Twilight by any chance?” Silverstream wraps her hoove around Tracker, finally seeing the secrets to his behavior..
“Ohh yeah... “ Sandbar smirked his classic smirk. “You got a kiss from protecting her from Iron Will and another when you expressed your feelings before you joining the School Of Friendship. That’s some colt charm you have there.”
“Okay it’s true!” Tracker shouted stressfully. “I just wanted to impress her to prove how much I changed.” He didn’t covered his face in embarrassment.
Sandbar and Silverstream faces morph to surprise at Tracker’s reaction. Now seeing how serious this was for him they decide to cheer him up. “Tracker, we’re sorry for messing with you. We were just having a bit of fun. Okay?” Sandbar confessed.
“And there’s something you need to know. I think you getting two kisses from a princess is pretty impressive. I mean come on, she wouldn’t do that for just anypony. Besides, this assignment was made to challenge us” Silverstream turned back into her hippogriff form as she spoke. “When it comes to us hippogriffs, we never get to go on a journey despite the wars we had in the past. Doing this activity is a once in a lifetime for me and I hope we do more of these in the future.”
“Also to us, you may look nervous, but on the inside you know you want to do whatever it takes to do the right thing.” Sandbar finished.
Star Tracker felt calm and learned something. The fact Sandbar and Silverstream were willing to help him in a respected way made Tracker feel better about the situation.
“Thanks guys, I didn’t know you could be serious.” he chuckled a bit and lowered his head slightly at the quip
Silverstream, giggling as well, put her hoof under Tracker’s chin so he’d look at her in the face. “Just because we make jokes doesn't mean every moment of time should be full of happiness. There are tons of emotions we have, and each one needs to experienced. The School Of Friendship reopened weeks ago so things have gotten way better for everyone.” Suddenly Silverstream has an idea. “As a matter of fact, if you meet somepony there who becomes a close enough friend you could bring them back to the school. That way, you can get to know him or her better, and you could impress Twilight.” Silverstream said the last bit with a wink and nudge.
Star Tracker smiled and blushed again. “You’re right! Silverstream you’re a genius.” He hugged her happily. The talk has gotten him looking forward to what they’re going to do at the village. Silverstream didn’t expect Tracker to hug her but went with it anyway.
“Ohh you!” She hugged back with her lifting him up in the air as she flew up in the air. “I hope we do well at the village.”
“We will.” Tracker responded.
“Hey! Are we going to walk or fly our way there?! Make up your mind!” Sandbar shouted as he’s still on the land.
Tracker and Silverstream laugh as they land on the ground. They get back to their journey to Starlight’s village with a bit more mirth in their steps. As for Star Tracker, he’s hoping he can make a friend who’s willing to join him in the School Of Friendship.
Star Tracker, Sandbar and Silverstream finally make it to Starlight’s Village as they can see it in the distance. “We’re here.” Star Tracker states.
“And we’re finally going to make some friends.” Sandbar added with a tone suggesting he was sick of traveling for so long.
“So what are we waiting for? Let’s meet them!” Silverstream cheered.
As they entered the village, ponies were making decorations, food, and tending to plants. They were happy and slightly surprised that the place was harmless and filled with helpful ponies.
“So what where you do you want to start?” Sandbar asked.
“Well, I see that there’s other’s who are cooking but I haven't got much experience in that area since of the announcement interrupted us. I did study but I have yet to make any food.” Star Tracker looked at the ground a little disappointed at his own inadequacy.
“Don’t worry, We’ll help you. After all, what are friends for. I happen to make a mean cucumber salad.” Silverstream said. Motioning to the different ponies around she said, “How about you go talk to someone and try to help him or her?”
This gives Tracker an idea. So far in school, he hadn’t yet done anything in Rainbow Dash’s classes. This could be a good opportunity. “Okay, I think I’ll look for someone who can fly.”
“Why? Is it because you don’t fly?” Sandbar asked.
“Yes because if I ever end up in a situation where height is a problem, my friend can help me.” He then saw a dark winged, white coated pegasi mare who’s helping Sugar Belle with her pies. “And I think I’ve found one.”
He and his friends went up to the two ponies by Sugar Belle’s home.
After noticing them Sugars eyes widened at Silverstreams appearance, “Who are you two and what are you? Another new species?” Sugar asked as she looked at Silverstream with interest.
Silverstream reacted accordingly. She immediately hugged Sugar Belle tightly. “Thank you for noticing!”
The other pony looked at Tracker and Sandbar in an awkward way.
“Yeah, she’s the really hyper excited type. Her name’s Silverstream” Sandbar explained.
“He’s Sandbar and I’m Star Tracker.” Tracker finished.
The pony was confused with the group that just arrived in the village. After all they never saw them before. “Why are you here?” She asked.
“We’re here because in our school, Princess Twilight’s assignment had us go on a journey to make friends in different places.”
“Wait!? You mean the Twilight? The same Twilight that is one of the Elements of Harmony? She asked in disbelief.
“Yes, and you should know that she’s a princess.” Sandbar retorted.
“Well that’s new. I didn’t know Twilight was running a school.”
“Yeah, It looks like a great place to be in.” Sugar Belle commented while she gets put down from Silverstream's hug.
“By the way, my name is Night Glider.” The pony finally said her name. “What woudl you like to help us with?” She asked.
“Well what do you need help with?” Tracker asked back smiling.
“I’m delivering slices of pies to everypony here.”
“Need a helping hoof?” Sandbar suggested.
“Sure, there's a lot of ponies waiting.”
“As Miss Pie would say: Okie Dokie Lokie.” Sandbar put some of the plates on his head as he gets to the other tables. Tracker however wants to get to know Night Glider better.
“So do you fly to places a lot?”
“Only when they need me, I don’t usually do justice work like Rainbow Dash does.”
“Do you want to do justice work?”
“What do you mean?” Night Glider raised her eyebrow.
“Well Rainbow told me that you stopped Starlight from taking you’re cutie mark and you few were way faster. Maybe Rainbow Dash can teach you.”
Glider liked the idea. She already did a great job on helping everypony get their cutie marks back, even Twilight and her friends. “I’ll think about it. When do you and your friends leave?”
“In about five hours, so we’ll be helping everyone for a awhile.” Tracker then takes some the cartens of pies and goes to the other ponies to hoof them out.
“He’s really nice when it comes to patience.” Sugar Belle stated.
“Well, of course. He even got two kisses from Princess Twilight.” Silverstream added.
“Really?” Both Glider and Belle asked surprised.
“Yep. He’s been through a lot before he became a student in Twilight’s school.”
“Wow. I’m impressed” Glider replied. “Hey let's talk in Belle’s house.” Silverstream obliged as she, Belle and Glider went inside. Night found herself still interested in Star Tracker. She giggles that he got kissed.
Meanwhile Tracker and Sandbar hand out the pies to everyone. Party Favor and Double Diamond are waiting at they’re table. They were also talking about the ideas to make people know who they are. Starlight’s village is not on the map of Equestria.
“Here you two go.” Sandbar said as he lies out the two pies to Diamond and Favor.
“Thank you.” Party replied.
“These pies are really great!” Diamond added.
“You’re welcome. Also I hear about something you two were going to find a way to put your village name on the map.” Tracker asked,
“Well we did have visitors from time from time but sometimes we want other creatures from other lands to come here to know us.” Diamond explained.
“Really.” Tracker said. Suddenly he got an idea. “Our other friend, Silverstream can fly to places to give them the names of where you live.”
“Oh my gosh! That’s a brilliant!” Favor cheered but he also didn’t know who the two visitors are. “Who are you two.”
“We’re both students from Twilight’s school of friendship.” Sandbar smirked.
“We were assigned to go on a journey to help everypony.” Tracker finished.
“Well it’s awesome that Twilight is running a school but I’m not sure if Silverstream can fly all the way to the places we’re hoping for. Mainly because we don’t have all the names in Equestria.” Diamond face fell in disappointment.
“Don’t worry, we studied the lands in Equestria and Silverstream loves to fly to new places. Trust me she’s hyper excited.” Tracker grinded.
“Really?” Favor said awkwardly. Just in time, Silverstream and the others came back to Tracker and Sandbar.
“Hey friends.” Silverstream walking up to them while also giving Tracker a smirk. He’s confused at the expression but ignores it for the time being.
“Silverstream, this is going to be the greatest day of your life.” Sandbar said. “Now we haven’t made any papers yet but when Diamond and Flavor are done,” Silverstream lowered her head so she can listen to Sandbar closely. Sandbar whispered into Silverstream’s ear to tell her about her job. Once Sandbar leans back, Silverstream is shaking in excitement with a big smile on her face.
“OHH!! MY!!! GOSH!!!” She scream at the top of her lungs, stareling everypony in the village. “I don’t think I can hold my excitement any longer.” She hugged both Diamond and Favor.
“See? I told you she’s hyper excited.” Tracker said.
“More like just hyper.” Diamond said. “Let’s go to my place.”
“Agreed!” Silverstream cheered. As they leave, Sandbar took the pie carton to give more pies to everyone.
“I’ll do the rest of the work, you can help someone else now.”
“Alright.” As Sandbar left, Tracker turned around and saw that Glider is smirking at him as well. “Ummm? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You know what I mean, Princesses favorite student.” She laughed which causes Tracker to blush like a strawberry.
“Your going to have to explain.” Sugar Belle stated.
