Chapter 1: Sunburst

Author's Note

These all take place before the timeskip in The Last Problem.

I found myself liking Sunburst a little more as I wrote this chapter. I can’t explain it, I just did. I don’t ship Starburst though. TwiStar’s my OTP

Chapter 1: Sunburst

Well… I wouldn’t exactly say that I LOVE her. You know, not in that way at least. Starlight’s the first friend I ever made back in Sire’s Hollow, the only friend for that matter.

She always had this odd vibe to her, the good odd. I admired our shared interest in magic, and we quickly bonded over that. Not a lot of unicorns there were really interested in magic like me and Starlight, so being able to share that with her was a treat.

Though even outside of magic, we definitely had a decent connection. We just felt comfortable around each other, and while truth be told, I didn’t hold our childhood to the same regard as she did, it was a good experience for me growing up as it brought some spice to my life.

Going to magic school was rough on me. I originally did want to get in touch with Starlight, I really did, but it was pretty difficult. For one thing, we didn’t exactly have dragons with magic fire breath to send us letters(no offense to Twilight and Spike, but they do have an easy communication system). On top of that, I was really struggling with magic school, until I eventually flunked out. No matter how hard I tried to understand the spells, and no matter how much effort I put in, it just wasn’t good enough. I felt like a failure when that happened to me, no matter how much my mother tried to convince me otherwise, I grew into a funk.

Seeing Starlight again in the Crystalling on my porch definitely was a pleasant surprise, hearing how she was Twilight’s protege definitely was a shock and when I heard about it, I felt horrible. Not because I was jealous of Starlight, I wished her the best after all, but it was because she was actually going somewhere with her life and all I had was my cottage full of books.

So when she assumed I was this great wizard, I went along with it, because I didn’t want my old friend to see me as a pathetic loser. Looking back, that probably made things worse because she was clearly feeling the same way I was feeling about her. I knew in my heart that I could not keep lying to Starlight about my career in life, so I eventually did confess about the fact that I flunked magic school, and I was surprised that she didn’t cast me aside because of it.

When she finally came clean about her dark past, I was definitely shocked. She probably seemed surprised that I didn’t treat her like a freak after hearing about how she stole cutie marks but I just couldn’t do that to her. She may have been a villain, but she actually regretted what she did. That says a lot more about her than I can say for most other ponies.

Honestly, I owe my thanks to her, it was because of her I was able to realize I’m not a loser and as such, I saved the Crystal Empire thanks to trusting my instincts and became the Crystaller to Flurry Heart, with so many happy memories to come.

That would not have happened if I had not reunited with Starlight nor if she didn’t care about me as much as she did.

I definitely had to admit, I took her for granted too much at times. When I first visited Ponyville, I was so focused on bonding with her other friends that I completely neglected her existence. Yes, I’m aware you can have more than one friend, it’s not like the rules of dating, but it’s not okay to ignore your other friends, especially when they hold you to such high regard like Starlight did for me.

I didn’t seem to learn my lesson after that day though, because I pretty much disregarded her worries about the Pony Of Shadows situation: both with bringing back the Pillars to mine and Twilight’s idolizing and when Starswirl rejected Starlight’s idea of reforming Stygian.

I know Twilight was the one who she was upset with, but I was guilty too. I ignored the fact she was being neglected AGAIN, and I blindly followed Starswirl when in Starlight’s defense, she did have a sound backup plan.

I don’t know how a pony can be as forgiving as her. Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve it at times, but then Starlight reassured me that if she held a grudge, she would have said something. I could tell that she was a little uneasy around Twilight however. I kinda felt a little bad for Twilight, not because she didn’t deserve Starlight’s uneasiness, but because I was able to dodge Starlight’s mistrust just because Twilight held more responsibility and power over the whole situation than I did but given Starlight and Twilight were able to patch things up pretty quickly and the fact Starlight didn’t hold much of a grudge anyway, I was able to look past it.

Our bond pretty much increased after those missteps we had however, and we grew much better at communicating with each other.

To say I was honored when she called on me to be Vice Headmare of the School Of Friendship was definitely an understatement, and in all honesty, I’m glad she gave me such a chance.

As it stands today, me and Starlight are pretty close friends, and our bond only increased since I moved to Ponyville. Thanks to the both of our efforts, the School Of Friendship has been a major success and our lives are better than ever. What I love about Starlight is how kind and understanding she is about other creatures, she may sometimes doubt that about herself but she has that quality and it’s a great one.

A day does not go by where I don’t thank Princess Twilight for being able to save Starlight from her inner darkness and her troubled past, because I cannot imagine a life without my oldest and closest friend.

Chapter 2: Trixie Lulamoon

Love? The Great and Powerful Trixie can’t exactly say that she has experience with this type of emotion. The closest she ever felt about love was when it came to family, and even then, my parents weren’t always around.

Starlight may be the closest pony that I have ever felt love towards.

When I first met her, I saw her friendship as a means to an end. I did like her, and I understood frustrations when it came to her past, but in the end, she was a mere pawn for me to finally get an edge over Twilight.

After a while, I genuinely started to actually bond with Starlight, what drew me to her was our bond over our villainous pasts and how she wasn’t afraid to take risks. She was passionate, lively, and heck, sometimes even angry. Those are my favorite parts about her, yes I did remember what I told her when she felt the need to bottle up her emotions.

Once I let it slip that I was using her for my grudge against Twilight, she ditched me. I could hardly blame her, the poor thing probably thought our friendship was a charade, and in a way, she wasn’t wrong.

That didn’t stop me from being upset when she left though, but it wasn’t because of the fact I lost my one-up over Twilight, not because I lost Starlight’s friendship(okay that was partly the reason), but it was because I…I genuinely hurt her. I never felt so awful about hurting somepony in my life. She was my first friend, buck, I was probably her first friend too, and I broke her heart into a million pieces.

That didn’t stop me from doing the Manticore trick, and before you ask, NO. I was not about to do what you thought I was. I thought by doing some grand gesture, I could somehow get Starlight back, heck, I even begged for her to return so we could be Great and Powerful together.

I’m really lucky she realized I was being genuine, or I would have been lion food. One thing you may not have known is that Starlight bawled her eyes out when we said our first goodbyes after all was said and done. She knew that I could have potentially been eaten by that Manticore and begged me to never do a stunt like that again. I did assure her that I was just being reckless so that did help ease her worries, but I did promise never to do that again.

While I did keep that promise, that didn’t stop me from screwing up a LOT.

There was the time where she had to bottle her anger like I mentioned, but in all honesty, I acted really out of line that day. I teleported a very important artifact out of Twilight’s castle and acted as if it were no big deal, and despite Starlight trying her best to keep her patience with me, I still acted like an oblivious idiot. I really shouldn’t have done that. She had evert right to yell at me. It was my mess she was dealing with after all.

We did make up that day, and I did tell her that it was okay for her to make her frustrations with me known, but that didn’t stop my ego from putting a damper in our friendship again, and again, and again.

The tour to Saddle Arabia was probably one of mine and Starlight’s worst moments, and honestly, we both acted pretty out of line that time. Yes, Starlight traded away my wagon, but we both were being super unreasonable with each other, it’s a miracle we made up.

Sometimes I do worry about us, Starlight may screw up from time to time, but she always seems to learn from her mistakes and move forward from them. Meanwhile my ego is one of the main reasons why Starlight gets upset with me, because I have so much vanity I never think straight.

After the whole Vice Headmare ordeal, I strived to become a better friend to Starlight. I ended up buying her some flowers, and even going out to dinner with her.

Looking back… I think those ended up being more romantic than I had intended but I don’t think Starlight ever picked up on that.

I did though, and the realization hit me like a smoke bomb, I’m in love with Starlight Glimmer.

Looking back, it made a lot of sense to me. I did always find bold mares attractive, and Starlight may be soft but she definitely has a fire under her belly.

I also felt our friendship was really special to me, she always found a way to make me smile in her own special way, and out of everyone in Equestria, she believed in me when everypony else doubted me.

I doubt she’ll ever give me the time of day, and why should she? She deserves better than an egotistical stage magician who never shuts up about how great she is.

Well… I am great, but that’s besides the point.

Our friendship is perfectly chaotic, and that’s how I like it. Trying to form it into something more will likely ruin things, and I’ve already screwed up with Starlight too many times for one lifetime. Even if Starlight forgives me every time, I can’t let myself put her through anymore pain, she’s suffered enough.

Besides, she and Twilight are pretty close as it is and as much as it makes me want to barf up my lunch, Twilight does make Starlight happy.

Whether my feelings for Starlight is probably just some attraction or anything more, it doesn’t matter. I’ll get over them. Trixie’s always gets over insignificant nonsense, and she’ll get over them now, but until then, she gives more of a reason to be jealous of Twilight.

What I love about Starlight, friend or otherwise, is that she’s passionate and always fights for what she believes is right. Our friendship will always be special to me, and I’m not going to let it go to a downward spiral.

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I think we’ll be okay.

Chapter 3: Twilight Sparkle

How much do I love Starlight? Well she was my pupil and I LIVED with her in my old castle, so I imagine I would really care about her.

Though… our history together goes a little… okay, MUCH deeper than that.

When I first met Starlight, she was a villain. Me and my friends bared witness to her little village which she created out of taking away everypony’s cutie marks and making them into equal signs.

Once I realized the signs that Starlight’s intentions were more maligned than originally intended, I knew we had to stop her and get our cutie marks back. I also got Fluttershy to expose her lies about harboring her own cutie mark behind everyone’s back.

You can imagine she was enraged and ended up running off before we could catch her, but despite everything she did to us, I couldn’t hate her. I could tell she truly believed that she was giving her villagers true friendship, it may have been wrong but I could at least see her viewpoint. It wasn’t like the situation with Chrysalis where she just wanted power, Starlight wanted to give “true friendship”.

When she tried to stop the Sonic Rainboom from going back in time, she was probably my most toughest opponent in a long time. I had no allies by my side except Spike and we were evenly matched. In a last ditch effort, I took her to an altered timeline, a barren wasteland. I knew she was starting to feel remorse once she saw the effects of her actions, but I don’t think she wanted to admit it. Somehow, I knew I could get through to her, and would you look at it, I did.

You’d probably expect me to throw her to Tartarus for all her crimes, and heck, my friends actually advocated for it when they saw her again. I couldn’t let that happen though, she stopped her revenge scheme when she was ahead, I felt it was fair to at least give her a chance. So I decided to try and teach her about friendship, while subsequently becoming her friend myself.

Over time, before the Crystalling, she learned to trust me, and I began to start caring for her more as a friend than a business deal. We weren’t strictly a mentor and student, we became friends and honestly, I think I preferred that to merely just being a friendship teacher.

We bonded more and more as time went on, and I got to know more about her. Her hobbies, her interest in magic, and even her deepest insecurities, I don’t think anypony knows about those except for me and Spike. I’m not sharing what she told me though, it’d be an invasion of privacy.

I may have befriended a lot of reformed villains in my lifetime, but something was special about Starlight. We shared common interests and she has such a lively personality when you’re able to get it out of her. It wasn’t like Sunset or Tempest where we were just good buddies, or like Trixie or Discord where they were friends that could really annoy me, Starlight genuinely became one of my closest friends.

I honestly had this gut feeling that Starlight was ready to go off on her own when she saved us all from the Changelings and gained us new allies because of it, but honestly, I only didn’t go through with it sooner because I didn’t want to lose her. Having Starlight around just felt so right and while my friends were great, I couldn’t really connect with them in ways I could connect with Starlight. Long story short, I was overjoyed that despite the fact she no longer had to learn under my guidance, she decided to stick around.

I think me and Starlight were able to grow a lot closer after she no longer needed friendship lessons. We were able to delve more into bonding more as friends, and in a way, I just felt we could really connect with one another.

Sometimes I do worry about her, Starlight has a tendency to be… reckless so to speak and it often gets her in more trouble than it does help her. It’s one of my biggest fears that she’ll lose control of her magic trying to fix a problem of some sort and… and…

Well… I think you know what I’m implying.

She’s definitely improved on that front though, and has grown more responsible as time went on. She’s even helped me grow and taught me some lessons myself, such as when she helped me re-open the School Of Friendship. I’ve come to admire her unique way of solving problems and how bold she can be when it comes down to it.

I do have my regrets when it comes to Starlight though, my biggest one being how I handled the return of the Pillars and the Pony Of Shadows. I did not listen to her at all, not when she told me that bringing the Pillars back could have consequences and not when she thought about doing something other than banishment to stop Stygian.

I made her feel like dirt and I know it. No matter how much she reassured me, and with all the smiles she gave me, I knew it was just to make me feel better.

For a good while, she didn’t feel safe around me anymore. She didn’t have to tell me that, I can read her like a book. She felt that I would’ve thrown her aside to Limbo just like Starswirl did to Stygian if “my idol” was around when she was still a villain.

I…I couldn’t. I wouldn’t dream of doing that to Starlight, but I still made her feel like she couldn’t trust me because of it. It took a while for things to get back to normal for us, and while we’re in a good spot now, I sometimes can’t sleep at night knowing I did that to the pony I love…

Uh… love as in a platonic way of course. I totally don’t love her in that way.

You’re not buying this are you? It’s hard for me to even convince myself that I don’t love her.

By some ironic twist of fate, I fell for who I once called my pupil.

I tried telling myself that my feelings for Starlight were platonic. That friends sometimes feel flustered around each other, it was perfectly normal.

I couldn’t deny it forever. The more I spent time with Starlight, the more attached I got to her.

Pretty much all the positive qualities I mentioned about Starlight is why I fell in love with her, and it scared me.

Fun fact about us alicorns, we are pretty much immortal. That means our lifespans are longer than most earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. Eventually, Starlight would die, and I’ll be alone, and I’m not sure I will be able to handle that.

Besides, now that I’m ruler of Equestria, Starlight will most likely never return my feelings for her. Compared to a Princess, she’d probably feel too uncomfortable with the idea of dating me.

What I love about Starlight is how creative and bold she is, while also seeing how much she continues to grow throughout her life. I want her to be happy no matter what, even if I can’t be the one who gives that to her.

Chapter 4: Maud Pie

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 5: Thorax

Starlight huh? Well in all honesty, I haven’t really seen her in a good while. I guess that stuff happens when you’re a king of your entire species.

Although… when I think about it. I kinda owe that all to her now don’t I?

Starlight and I weren’t exactly the closest when we first met. Mostly because I was bonding with Spike at the time and Starlight was stuck in a mob mentality thinking that I was evil. I’m not mad at her for that, considering all the sins Chrysalis committed in the past, it’s tough for anybody to assume I’m a bad guy.

Though Spike may be my best friend, Starlight’s one of the reasons I got so far in my life.

While I did have all the knowledge of the Changeling Hive, Starlight was the one who was keeping the group together when we were all going after Chrysalis to save her friends… well and my friends after all. Twilight, Spike, Shining Armor, Cadence, and Flurry Heart were definitely my friends. The others are more of her friends than mine though.

Back to my point, the moment the Changelings or my future subjects in this case were even close to finding us, I was PANICKING, I was beyond rational thought at that moment. The only reason we were able to save ourselves was because Starlight was able to make the plan to use my shapeshifting and Trixie’s smoke-bombs.

Discord and Trixie definitely made their contributions to the group, but without Starlight leading us, we probably would have been caught from the beginning of our journey.

Facing Chrysalis was likely the scariest moment of my life, I apparently “betrayed the hive” by getting the idea to share love instead of feeding on it and like I said, I couldn’t really think rationally or comprehend any way to get me out of the situation I found myself in. Yet somehow, Starlight was able to pull a gambit to share love that worked to everyone’s benefit and because she was able to come up with the idea to share love, Chrysalis’ tyrannical rule was finally abolished.

So I’m the King Of The Changelings now, and that’s because of Starlight and I couldn’t be anymore grateful.

We didn’t get to speak much after I was crowned. I had to deal with my subjects and some renegade Changelings, but we still remained good friends so seeing her and Trixie come by for a visit was a pleasant surprise and I really admired how much Starlight had tried to help me out during the whole Pharynx situation, even if it wasn’t in the best way, I knew she really did care about trying to help my kingdom grow.

I do have to acknowledge that Starlight’s plan to lure the Maulwurf to the Hive was a very dangerous move on her part and that I was definitely really upset when she revealed that she did that. I can see that she wanted to help Pharynx come out of his shell and show his more caring side but I still found what she did really stupid. It was really disappointing as I did expect better of her.

We didn’t really talk much after that day, I heard from Spike that Starlight was too guilty about driving Pharynx away from the Hive and leading the Maulwurf to said Hive to face me and figured I’d want some space for a while.

After a while, Starlight and I did meet up again and she apologized while explaining to me everything about the Maulwurf situation and how she thought Pharynx would be able to defeat it and show the more loving and caring side of him to solve two problems at once and how she and Trixie had no idea Pharynx overheard their conversation about their former allegations about kicking him out of the hive before I told them about our childhood together.

It was easier to see where Starlight was coming from after being able to talk about the whole ordeal so I did forgive her but warn her never to do something like that again.

Overall, what I love about Starlight is how compassionate she is, how level headed she can be, and how she can be very smart. Because of her, the Changelings are in a very good spot.

Author's Note

Like Maud, Thorax was a bit hard to come up with ideas for, but I think I managed to make it work.

Chapter 6: Discord

Love?! Love may be an emotion that ponies share with each other but I am the Lord Of Chaos. I don’t feel love for anypony, and if that lovesick dragon Spike told you otherwise, he is a fool.

Well… I suppose I have some love in my heart. Fluttershy would obviously be at the top of the list, Spike and Big Mac would be tied for second… wait, ranking how much I love my friends seems wrong. Is this how friendship works? I really have no clue.

Either way, Starlight is actually a pony I grew to care about the more time I got to know her. I first met her after spending my first guys night with Spike and Big Mac. She seemed at awe to be in the presence of one of Equestria’s most feared enemies… well past tense of course, given my reformation and all. We talked for a bit and she seemed to like me, but I felt she wouldn’t really interact with me again. After all, anypony who was under Twilight’s wing would not be so willing to hang out with me.

When all the most beloved ponies in Equestria were kidnapped by Changelings, Starlight was the one pony to jump at my defense when Trixie and Thorax were both doubting me. Despite all my whining and moaning about not being able to use my magic, Starlight wanted me with the group anyway. For some odd reason Starlight trusted me, and even though she never said it outright, she made it clear she had enough faith in me to help in the quest.

That actually really touched me, no one other than Fluttershy was willing to put full trust in my efforts. Even though Twilight saved me from Tirek’s wrath, she only did it because she saw me as a friend, not because of any trust. Heck, even after Starlight saved Equestria and reformed the Changelings, she still stuck around and even hung out with me. I think she figured that being in the same rescue group brought us closer or something. In any case, she certainly seemed to enjoy my antics and actually appreciate my company. Fluttershy’s friends are nice to me and all, but I don’t get the sense that I truly clicked with them like I did with Starlight.

That’s why I made it known to Twilight that she was ready to set out on her own path. Knowing her, she would never let her precious “student” go until it was made clear to her that Starlight no longer needed friendship lessons. Notice how I put student in quotation marks? Yes, I’m aware of Twilight’s deeper connection with Starlight, I’m not an idiot.

I’m getting off topic, in any case I was HOPING Twilight would send Starlight to my realm but I knew how unlikely that would be, but that didn’t stop me from trying to bring her to my corner after she graduated. Ultimately, she still stuck with Twilight. Fine by me, I still had Starlight as my friend and I guess I could respect her choice.

Then again; after all I did to her, can Starlight truly call me a friend?

I still remember how I treated her when she got to be in charge as Headmare, I was horrible to her and constantly made her time there a living Tartarus. I literally made the entire school a safety hazard and ignored her when she got upset with me. She had every right to banish me that day, but yet she still apologized and was willing to be understanding about my abandonment and jealousy issues. Even after it was revealed I sent her friends on a fake quest, she still accepted my apology when Fluttershy made me realize what I did wrong.

I couldn’t grasp it, no one is that forgiving. How could she stand to be near me after all the harm I caused her, the students, her friends, and her precious Twilight? It didn’t make sense. Starlight just explained that she knew what it was like to lose control of your emotions and knew with that combined with all powerful magic it could definitely cause problems. Simply put, she understood what it was like to have trouble with being a good friend and how to control emotions.

That’s probably what I… love… about Starlight. She’s trusting, fun, and can actually grow to understand creatures like me.

But don’t you dare tell any creature that.

Author's Note

I really STRUGGLED with this one. Discord and Starlight barely interact but I felt he made a big enough impact on Starlight’s redemption to include him. Hope this was good enough.

Chapter 7: Spike

How much do I love Starlight? That’s a very odd question to be honest, I honestly expected this question to be directed towards Rarity, though that could just be my fantasies talking. Love doesn’t have to exactly be romantic, after all. Well, to be honest I love her like a sister, we've always been there for each other when we needed it, especially since we’re not as close with Twilight’s friends as we’d like to be.

I have to admit, when she first reformed, I didn't quite trust her, I mean she did try to destroy Twilight's friendship with an ancient time travel spell, that IS pretty extreme. However, I was quickly able to tell she truly changed and I even regret not trusting her at first.

One of her first big tasks was to reconnect with Sunburst, and I was assigned… okay more like I got myself to help her with that. She was crazy nervous and it didn't go well at first, and admittedly, that was probably my fault. I constantly said things that scared her more often than actually helped her. After we reconciled and had to deal with Flurry Heart and the Crystal Heart breaking down, her and Sunburst were finally able to reconnect and Sunburst even got to make a name for himself by becoming Flurry Heart’s Crystaller.

Her next thing of note wasn't the best thing she ever did after reforming. She brainwashed Twilight's friends to make her friendship lessons easier. From what I heard, they were no saints themselves, they were putting a ton of pressure on her, but that doesn't excuse her actions. After everything was said and done, Rarity told me how Starlight gave one of the most heartfelt apologies she’s ever seen, and even though they had all the reasons Equestria not to, they forgave her. They even have a pretty strong bond in spite of that. How Starlight handled her mistake only made me respect her more.

I think my trust in her solidified after she saved all of Equestria from the Changelings and even got all of them to reform… except Chrysalis but it proved to me she truly did change and learned from her mistakes in the past. When I heard Twilight would potentially send her away, I wasn’t really happy about it. Sure I was calm about it for Twilight’s sake but I definitely would miss her. Speaking of Twilight, I know how much Starlight means to her, seeing those scenarios she came up with could be seen as her being paranoid, but I’ve been by her side to know that she truly was scared to have Starlight leave her. I could somewhat relate, I didn’t want her to go either so I was happy when she made it clear she wasn’t ready to leave.

Another mistake she made involves how she controlled her anger. She didn't do it in the most healthy way and literally bottled it up, since her anger actually manifests as a red storm cloud. The object of that anger was her friend Trixie. For whatever reason on that day she felt like being extra irritating and everything she did just made Starlight angrier. Heck, Trixie even made the map table disappear, which also stressed Starlight out a lot, and Trixie didn't care in the slightest. I know all of this because Starlight trusted me enough to tell me. Honestly, the fact she was able to sometimes confide in things with me that she couldn’t always do with Twilight did warm my heart a bit.

Everything worked out in the end and Starlight learned to talk about what's making her mad. After that incident she became a bit more level headed and wasn't afraid to tell me or anypony else if we were stressing her out or angering her.

Though sometimes I do worry about her, Starlight has a tendency to be reckless and I know she never means any harm but it doesn’t stop her from making rash decisions, like leading the Maulwurf to the Changeling Hive to get rid of it and to help Pharynx reform, switching the Royal Sisters’ cutie marks, or even banishing Discord from the School Of Friendship. I’m aware that the first thing I mentioned was more harmful than the other two(I’ll never tell Discord this, but I do understand why Starlight banished him), but even then, Starlight just doesn’t seem to realize at times that she can get herself really hurt.

Sometimes I’m afraid that one day, Starlight would make some reckless decision and I will not be able to talk her out of it. That she could die because of it.

It’s not that I think Starlight’s an idiot, as I have mentioned earlier, she is very smart but she’s still a creature with flaws like everyone is. Her flaw is that she can sometimes take action before thinking.

Me and Starlight have had our own rough patches as well. For example when the school of friendship put on a play to celebrate Princess Celestia and her ones-versary and a lot of chaos went on that kept the play from starting on time.

The crowd was getting angry and seemed like they were going riot or something like that. Someone needed to entertain the crowd and Starlight joined in with Twilight's friends in forcing me to go on stage. The crowd wasn't real open to anything but the actual play so I was heckled quite a bit. Starlight did feel bad about that and we made after the play happened, but I was still pretty scared.

But in the end, Starlight has achieved some wonderful things as well. When the Friendship School opened, she was made the guidance counselor in a matter of seconds and got Twilight to never give up on it. It took her some time to really get into the role, but once she did, the students loved her and always valued her advice. She definitely definitely did well at that job because Twilight chose her to be the next headmare after she took over for Celestia and Luna. After a bout of Trixie being Trixie, Starlight also chose Sunburst to be the vice headstalion. The school is doing just as good now as it was under Twilight, so it's safe to say Starlight really understands friendship.

Starlight has been a big impact on my life, and I am happy to have met her. Despite the rough patches and her flaws I'm happy to have met her and I can't imagine a life without her. She's like a sister to me and I'm happy she's in my life.

Author's Note

Spike was a bit of a struggle to write but in the end, it was easy to write out why he cares about Starlight. I’ll leave this as incomplete for now but those are all the characters I wanted to put out there. If you have any requests, I’d be happy to see them.
