This new pony, and the little things quickly stacking up that Dash's been having a harder and harder time ignoring, leaves her with a realization that changes everything.

Sunburst was the official crystaler. It was his job to help care for the young princess, and he had grown used to and even enjoyed the task. It was a pity, if one asked Flurry Heart, that he lacked a little trait that'd make him the best foalsitter.
