Trixie notices that she really, really, really, really really wants to see her friends kiss. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

...

... right?

Trixie has been hard at work getting her magic up to snuff. It's hard work, but she's made some progress. However, when her friend, Starlight, is busy helping set up Rainbow Dash's birth-iversary, The Great and Powerful Trixie knows she needs to steal the show on this occasion.

How does she do it?

Buying a (possibly illegal) rocket and riding it, of course. Starlight's getting roped into it, whenever she wants to or not.

Trixie Lulamoon has never missed a show, but tonight seems different. Starlight Glimmer feels a worry in her gut for her friend.

Sometimes friends are awkward.

Other times they just don't know when to quit, while they are ahead.

Starlight and Trixie get drunk on Hearth's Warming Eve and complain about their problem with towns and the unwillingness they have to be taken over, among other unrelated things.

Friendship is a recent addition to Trixie's life, which means there is much about it she has yet to experience. With Hearth's Warming just around the corner, the talented stage-pony is resolved to accept Starlight's offer to spend the celebration with her, once this invitation inevitably comes her way.

After all, being the good friends they are, there's no way The Great and Powerful Trixie wouldn't be invited. And Trixie is altogether above begging, at least that much is certain.

Piggybacks off of the Season 6 episode "A Hearth's Warming Tail". Loosely tied into my previous story "Dance, puppets, dance!" but neither one requires the other, and could theoretically fit in either order.

Starlight has invited Trixie over to her room to show her something. Something that she hasn't shown any pony in a long time. This prompts Trixie to ask a question that's always been on her mind. Why did Starlight go so far for Sunburst? Why did him leaving crush her so much?

Starlight isn't the only on with a secret though. Trixie has a secret as well, one that she's been thinking of finally revealing to her very best friend whom she has a serious crush on. But like with Starlight, this is a big secret, and it might be too much for Starlight to handle.

When the truth comes out, will these two friends be able to look at each other the same again? Or will the truth only bring them closer than ever.

Lips collide and hearts ignite and uh... other areas moisten, when love is in the air.

Minor spoilers for the movie.

During the invasion of the Friendship Festival, Starlight and Trixie both want to do something.

It will only be a case of finding the right help to fight back, just like against the Changelings.....

Right?
