It’s was a cool clear night in Ponyville, perfect for New Years fireworks. Clusters of couples, families and friends dotted upon the grassy hill. Drifts of conversations flew by and the smell of food wafted across the hill. One noticeable group of friends were talking loudly and eating. Starburst Sparkle Sentry was sitting at the back of the group sipping lightly on a beer bottle with a small smile printed on her face. Next to her was Cotton Candy laughing hysterically holding onto Starburst.

“Candy it wasn’t even funny. I think you have had to much to drink.”

“OH NO STAR, I’VE ONLY HAD TWO BEERS, AND I AM NOT A LIGHTWEIGHT LIKE CLAIRE!” Candy giggled and stood up walking to the cooler. Star shook her head at her friend and laid down, staring up to the sky. Stars twinkled in the sky, above a cloudless black sky.

“Hey Star.” A cocky familiar voice broke her out of her trance.

“Hey Prism.” She replied. He laid down next to her.

“Why are you staring at me?”

Prism blushed and cleared his throat.

“J-just wondering why you aren’t staring at me.”

Starburst rolled her eyes

“Because the stars are more prettier than your face.”

“You think my face is pretty?” Prism asked with a huge grin on his face.

“W-What! No that’s not what I said!” It was Starbursts turn to go red.

Suddenly the loud speakers crackled on and went through a list of rules. Prism sat up on his elbows looking down at Starburst. Her face was lit up by the stars and her hair was blowing in her face. She shivered slightly as a breeze passed and pulled on her tank top, not breaking focus on the sky. She looked simple but it was enough to give him a nose bleed.

“Why are you staring at me.” Starburst inquired looking back up at him.

“Your just pretty.”

Starbursts face turned crimson and gaped at him in surprise.

“What?”

“I mean it. I’m not joking or anything. I-I think you’re pretty. I like you Star I-“

“Don’t talk.” She said

Prisms face contorted into pain and humiliation.

An explosion of color burst into the sky followed by ooo’s and ahh’s. The colors danced across Prism’s face, brightening his green eyes. It made him look handsomer and Starburst couldn’t contain herself. She moved on top of him and kissed him, looking into his eyes. Prism’s eyes widened but shut themselves as he returned the kiss wrapping his arms around her waist. The yell of “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” echoed across the hill and sparklers lighted up as children played around with them.

“Happy new year.” She whispered and they smiled.

“Why were you staring at me.”

“Way to ruin it Prism. And I WASN'T STARING!”

“You so were! Into my eeeyyyeeeess-“

“OH MY GOD.” Anthea’s voice rang out breaking them out of their romantic bubble. Starburst jumped off him and scrambled up to her feet. The whole group was staring at them. Anthea had a wide smile on her face; T and Del both matched looks of shock and Crème and Candy were giggling and jumping up.

“Are you guys together?” Candy squealed.

“...yes. Yes we are.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped in surprise, even Prism. They all guessed that she would go NO and neglect her feelings.

“Really?” Prism stood up alongside Starburst.

“Yeah really. Ya big goof.” She grabbed his hands brought him close.

“This is going to be one hell of a year.” He grinned and pulled her in for another kiss. Clapping and cheers came from their friends as Star wrapped her arms around his neck. They finally pulled away and stood in their embrace.

“So... your actually going to let me be your boyfriend.”

“Yeah why not. It’s not like I have anything better to do.”

Prism glared at her as she smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

“COME ON STAR LETS GO FIND WHIRLWIND AND RED JUNE AMD TELL THEM THE GOOD NEWS!” Candy yelled and Starburst ran over to them as they pulled her away.

“Ya think it’s gonna work?” Asked Del.

“Yeah it will. I just know it.” Prism replied smiling, watching Starburst walk away.
