After the Crystalling, Starlight Glimmer starts to feel quite fond of Sunburst. She's always thinking about him and feels her stomach explode in butterflies whenever he comes to mind. She is constantly hoping from a letter from him, and has a strange desire to be close to him.
She approaches her mentor, Twilight Sparkle, questioning if these feelings are normal for friendship, or if their friendship is... special for whatever reason.
A brief discussion had by Twilight and Starlight with a few slightly humorous scenes.

7065992

7065999 Thanks Pegasus i'll try.
This is so AWESOME! Of there is some irony in this too: that Twilight seems to have forgotten about her own crush on Flash Sentry.
This is my new OTP.
I started shipping this pairing when I first saw the season five finale, mainly because I'm a fan of childhood friend romances. Seeing that it has actually become viable is great. You know, since there have been a couple of exceptions with the 'no romance' rule with Shinning Armor and Cadence and Cranky Doodle and Matilda, maybe this one will become canon as well.
7066162
Uh, I think there's where Twilight got the cues from.
7066280
Same with me! I was psyched to see this pairing have a possibility in the premier.
7066195
Same here! After I watched the premier, it instantly became my OTP.
7066162
Thanks!
And like another comment said, Twilight could have used her crush on Flash to pick up on the "signals" that Starlight was sending.
7066313 Good point.
Since when does the freaking Princess of Friendship know anything about freaking love relationships when she's yet to have a freaking boyfriend?!?!??
7066546
She has a crush on Flash Sentry, remember.
And that is why she has advised Starlight to see Rarity; because she isn't the love master out of the six.
How is getting a letter from Sunburst ironic?
7066546 well, wouldn't you want to ask your sister in law who happens to be the princess of love about relationships.
I 110% agree with this love the chapter
Okay, I may still not like Starlight and probably never will... but this was cute.
7066848
It's ironic because Starlight was just telling Twilight what she feels towards Sunburst, and then the letter came.
7067128
Thanks!
The ships will go sailing on forever
7067349
Thanks!
Surprisingly, Starlight is now one of my favorite characters. Though, part of me wishes she was still evil.
This inspired me to start writing a shipfic like this tysm
Hello!
I think this was pretty well-done, and I really did enjoy it. It wasn't too fast or too slow--it went at a natural pace.
Keep writing!
The pioneer with a heart for people and a thousand stories to tell ~+~
Twilight's a shipper? As Sam Beckett would say... hoo boy.
7067419 Yeah, Starlight was rather frightening as a villain wasn't she?
7067415 That would be a coincidence, not ironic. Irony would be if Starlight was saying something like how Sunburst would never send her a letter, and then gets a letter from Sunburst.
Basically coincidence: similar and corresponding things at similar times or events
Irony: contrasting/opposite things at similar times or events
7067901
Oh! No problem! I'm happy I was inspiration!
7067948
Thanks! I was worried about it being a little fast... but I didn't know if there was anything to change without it seeming like it's dragging.
I'm happy you enjoyed!
7067959
Well, everyone has a few ships that they sail.
7068239
Oh, right. Good point. I will go and fix that now.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Both names of this ship are unbelievably epic: Starburst, and Sunlight.
I've never said this before, but... Ship it!
7068797
A sign that these two are made for each other: both ship names are amazing.
THE SHIPS SHALL FREELY SAIL!
That was pretty cute. I wouldn't mind seeing a follow-up sometime.
7069282
Thanks!
I doubt I'm ever going to do a follow up to this, but I might. It's doubtful, though.
All in favor of shipping (and forming a group for said ship), say Aye!
7070553
AYE!
7070553 Aye
7070553 All who say aye, head over here!

Oh, I joined that group a long time ago.
And wow. There's a lot more people suddenly joined than I remember.
Twilight is shipping?
Fair enough
7088479
Twilight be like

Cute little oneshot. Was kinda hoping for Starlight's response.
7091033
Thanks!
Oh, I didn't even think about writing Starlight's response! Well, maybe that'll be a bonus chapter. I have more shipping fuel today, so I just might write that. Thanks for the idea!
Bit... Nothing in that letter hints that she has a crush on him...
That was cute. Sure hope poor Spike never reads that letter...
7107952
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
I would listen to it, but... it says there's an age restriction, and Google won't let change my age.
I didn't think I wrote anything inappropriate in my story...
This was adorable. After watching the premier I shipped them too. I'm so glad that this is a fanific.
7129804
Thanks!
And Starburst for the win!
By the way, I love your profile picture! Fluttercord is a great ship as well.
Please do another bonus chapter :3
