(Familiarity with Starlight and Sunburst's Misadventures in Flurry Sitting is strongly recommended, though not required. Takes place after "A Horse Shoe-In".)

Now that Sunburst is the new vice headmare of the School of Friendship, Starlight is thrilled to have her childhood friend and special somepony close to her at all times. Especially as she prepares to take over the school when Twilight ascends to the throne.

However, Trixie can't help but notice that her best friend hasn't been on a date with Sunburst in a very long time. Wanting her friend to be happy, Trixie takes it upon herself to give them one as a way of making up for her behavior during the search for a vice headmare.

Sunburst is eager to accept the offer (especially once Twilight gives her blessing), but Starlight is distracted by her worries about taking over the school. Can a date with Sunburst cheer her up? And does Sunburst have his own plans in mind?
