Hey what's up pony lovers!?

Sorry for the delay, I came back to school from spring break and well, as you can tell from my pen name, where I been doing most of my writing.

But, it's time to find out how Starlight's going to react to Sunburst's question!


Chapter 4: Some Time to Think


"Will you be my special somepony?"

That was a question Starlight never thought or even would expect to hear from her oldest and best friend and yet… He did. Starlight didn't know what to think, she just sat there as still as when Discord was turned into stone. Eventually she would need to say something and she better say something quick before things got awkward, or even worse, other ponies stared staring at them.

But what to say…

It's not like Starlight was ever prepared for this. Secretly, she has been thinking of the future of when Sunburst would ask such a question, or if she would end up asking the question. However, thoughts are not real life and nothing can prepare any pony if the question came out of the blue.

And the fear Starlight had… The fear if she was more than friends with Sunburst, would that end up ruining their friendship? Or make it stronger? Should they even be more? Or just stay friends?

"Wow… Sunburst… I…" Starlight began, trying her hardest to get words out. "I'm rather quite surprised by this…"

"Yeah, I had a feeling you would be…" Sunburst replied. "Maybe I shouldn't have asked that."

"No, no!" Starlight shouted, a bit too loud as she covered her muzzle with her hoof and then calmed down to speak at a normal volume. "It's just I never expected to hear that question from you."

"Well, you know, I thought since we're such good friends and I been thinking about us, that maybe we could be more?" Sunburst chuckled nervously.

Inside her head, Starlight was freaking out a little…

"What to say, what to say!" Starlight panicked in her head and then took a deep breath. "Sunburst, can I tell you something?"

"Go ahead." Sunburst replied, hoping Starlight would give her answer.

"Well, to be honest, I have also been thinking of whether or not to ask you the question, but it just didn't seem right for my special somepony to also have been my oldest friend." Starlight revealed, Sunburst a bit surprised himself, but let Starlight continue. "And well, now that you have asked me, I'm just not sure if I should say yes or no…"

"What are you saying than?" Sunburst asked politely.

"I'm saying I think I need some time to think about this." Starlight answered. "Is that okay with you?"

"Of course!" Sunburst replied excitedly, a bit too much as he lowered his voice. "Take as much time as you want."

"Great, now can we just enjoy our breakfast, I'm really hungry." Starlight said as she heard her stomach just begging for food.

After an awkward and mostly silent breakfast, the two decided to head over to the Crystal Castle, to see Flurry Heart. As the two friends arrived at the castle, Cadance and Shining Armor were actually taking a trot around the castle, with the baby alicorn in a stroller. As Cadance was paying attention to Flurry Heart, making sure the little alicorn was comfortable, Shining Armor pointed out the two friends coming over to them.

"Sweetie, is that Sunburst?" Shining Armor asked Cadance.

Cadance looked at where Shining Armor was pointing his hoof at and was rather surprised, it was Sunburst, but he looked so different without his cape and glasses and with his mane all combed nicely.

"Hello Sunburst, Starlight." Cadance greeted the two friends as they came over.

"Hello Cadance, Shining Armor." Starlight greeted as she came over to the stroller where Flurry Heart was, the little alicorn greeting her auntie Starlight with her baby giggles as Starlight smiled. "You gotten bigger than the last time I saw you."

"She certainly has." Cadance agreed as she also looked down at her baby.

Meanwhile, Shining Armor decided to talk with Sunburst.

"So Sunburst, why the change in style?" Shining Armor asked.

"Oh well, since I invited Starlight over, I decided to clean up a bit." Sunburst replied, chuckling nervously.

"Well you certainly did." Shining Armor commented.

"Oh, can I ask you something Shining Armor?" Sunburst asked the white unicorn.

"Sure, what is it?" Shining Armor replied.

"Well, if somepony asked his best friend, "Will you be my special somepony?", would that be wrong?" Sunburst asked, not saying his and Starlight's name directly, but Shining Armor took the hint.

"You asked Starlight this, haven't you?" Shining Armor guessed correctly.

Sunburst panicked a bit, but luckily, Starlight and Cadance were still paying attention to Flurry Heart, calming down a bit.

"Not so loud please." Sunburst said embarrassingly.

"Sorry Sunburst, but I think you did what your heart told you to do." Shining Armor explained. "You know when I asked Cadance if she would be my special somepony, she was quite nervous, but happy at the same time and well… You know where our love went." Shining Armor turned around, wearing a smile as he saw the back of his wife.

"Yeah, but Starlight says she needs time to think, what if she just wants to stay friends?" Sunburst said, fearing the answer he will get from Starlight.

"Don't worry, she'll say yes, and if she doesn't, it's okay, maybe that just means you two were just meant to be friends, you just have to wait until she'll give you an answer." Shining Armor reassured Sunburst.

"I guess so…" Sunburst replied softly, lowering his head a bit.

"Hey, what are you two stallions talking about?" Starlight asked as she was finished with Flurry Heart and came to the two stallions.

"Oh, just stuff about crystallings." Shining Armor said and at the same time, winked at Sunburst, the orange stallion taking the clue.

"Yeah, that." Sunburst agreed.

"Okay, well, Sunburst, I think it's time we go back to your house." Starlight suggested.

"Yeah, got to practice on my wizarding…" Sunburst chuckled and the two friends trotted on back to Sunburst's house.

As soon as they got back, Sunburst went to his study, learning and practicing spells, while Starlight watched. It really reminded Starlight of when the two were foals, when Sunburst would help her learn new spells to do in order to help her with tasks.

However Starlight was also thinking about Sunburst's question. The question kept ringing in the back of Starlight's mind and it was hard to get it out. It wasn't just a simple, easy question to answer, it was a life changing decision.

When Starlight was with Flurry Heart, smiling down at the little alicorn, she couldn't help but imagine it was her own little foal, which she had with Sunburst. Her imagination seemed so real and happy, maybe she really did want to be Sunburst's special somepony, to be more than just friends…

As night rolled in again over the Crystal Empire, Starlight and Sunburst had a few bites to eat first before going to bed, eating together and of course, staying silent, but deep in their thoughts. Then after saying goodnight to each other, Sunburst went to his bedroom and Starlight to the couch in the main room.

Starlight couldn't sleep at all however as she thought of Sunburst, how handsome he was and how much of a perfect match he was for her. After all, the two were interested in magic and they were friends when they were foals. And it's not like anypony else asked Starlight or Sunburst to be his or her special somepony.

It was right there, while laying down on the couch in Sunburst's house, with the moonlight coming through the window and lighting up the room in its glow that Starlight made her decision.

She was going to be Sunburst's special somepony…


YES! YES! YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!

Sorry… Got too excited there… But… in the next and last chapter, (Yes, the story's that short, told you so!) we'll see Sunburst's reaction and maybe something else as well…

P.S. Sorry if chapter was terrible! Been out of this story for a bit!
