Shadow was walking the hallways of CHS and was carrying himself quite highly. Noticing his newfound attitude, Ace and Ice decided to see what was up with him. "You sure seem in a good mood Shadow. What's up?", Ace asked.
"Today's the day guys. I'm asking Starlight out. And I'm gonna do it at lunch. Nothing's going to stop me!" Ice smiled as he put a hand on Shadow's shoulder.
"Good luck man. I hope she says yes." Shadow nodded as he headed off to class. Before he knew it, lunch period had arrived. Gathering all of his courage and walked up to Starlight. Burst noticed the direction he was headed and decided to gave him some backup should he choke up. Starlight also noticed Shadow coming over to her, and gave him a pleasant smile.
"Hi Shadow. What's up?"
"W-wel Star, I...I was wondering...w-would you..?" Burst noticed Shadow choking up, and gave him a firm pat on the back. "Wouldyougooutwithme?" Shadow blurted it all out. "Thanks Burst. I needed that." Burst nodded as he went back to his seat. "So...do you have any plans today?" Starlight smiled as she held Shadow close.
"I've got nothing better to do after school. See you soon Shadow." Starlight winked at Shadow as he returned to his friends. The girls congratulated Starlight on her date. Starlight was so happy that she failed to notice that her communicator to Tirek dropped out of her bag as she left. Sunset noticed that she had dropped it, but Starlight was long gone before Sunset could return it to her.
"Just what is this thing?", Sunset thought out loud. She found her answer when she saw Tirek's symbol on the back. "Oh no..." Sunset went to the guys and showed them her disturbing find. "Guys. I think there's something you should know about Starlight..." The rest of the day passed by pretty quickly, and soon Shadow was on his date with Starlight. The two of them were enjoying some ice cream and talking about how their school week was going so far. However, they had no idea that the others were watching them from the command center.
"How could someone like Starlight work for Tirek? It doesn't add up.", Burst stated.
"Maybe this is all an act! She could be trying to destroy our morphers or hand over our secrets once she gains our trust! I say we put a stop to her before she can do any serious harm!", Rainbow shouted.
"Maybe she's not as bad as we think.", Sunset suggested. "Burst was able to win over Moon. Not to mention Chrysalis felt genuine love for Sombra. Tirek may have no redeeming factors, but maybe Starlight does."
"Whatever the case, Shadow seems happy being with her. I can tell!", Pinkie chirped. "Maybe we should see where things go?"
"If she so much as gives me a reason to suspect she'd destroy Shadow...", Ace started.
"She'll face us.", Ice finished coldly. "But for now, let them enjoy their date. Maybe Shadow can convince her to change too..." Meanwhile, Shadow and Starlight were staring at the city.
"It looks so peaceful with no monsters attacking.", Shadow said.
"It is pretty nice...", Starlight said as she scooted closer to Shadow. Shadow smiled at her as he leaned in and kissed her! Starlight blushed! "That...that was pretty good." Shadow smiled as he but his arm around her.
"Glad I could make my girlfriend happy." Starlight smiled as she lay against him.
"Girlfriend. I like the sound of that."
