	"So Celestia?", Twilight asked. "How can Burst be an alicorn? It doesn't make any sense." Celestia sighed.

"Long ago, there was a knight who served during the rule of Me and Luna. He possessed great magical and physical strength. His name was Aether Stream. However, he had a secret. One I found out when he was badly wounded. I saw his wings. And like Burst, his wing were dragon wings. Aether told me that he had bonded to a noble dragon spirit, and that transformed him into a dragonic alicorn. But all that paled in comparison to the ultimate offensive spell. The White Lightning. A powerful attack that ensures the defeat of your opponent. Usually a single  blast is enough to defeat a foe. Today is the first time I ever saw one charged up." Celestia then walked over to Burst. "So the only question is how are you related to Aether?"

"Aether's my dad.", Burst replied. "My name is Burst Stream. Currently, I run the Dragon's Den Card Shop here in Ponyville. I just left my home a few days ago. Dad wasn't kidding when he said you were one of the most beautiful mares he's seen." Celestia lightly blushed at hearing this. Luna in the meantime turned to Inferno.

"I must thank you for your help earlier. But I didn't get your name." 

Inferno smiled at her. "Inferno. Inferno Flare. I work with Burst at the card shop. And you must be Princess Luna. I gotta say, you pretty cute."

"Th...thank you!", Luna said with a blush. "No stallion has ever complimented me in such a way."

"I'm not they typical stallion now am I? If you're not too busy after this, how about we spend some time together? I'd love to know you better."

"I....I'd like that.", Luna said with a small smile. Meanwhile, Celestia and Twilight continued talking with Burst.

"So my dad was a knight?", Burst asked. Celestia nodded. "Huh. No wonder he gave me this sword."

"This is incredible!", Twilight nearly squealed. "I've never seen a male alicorn before!"

"It's not that hard if you try picturing yourself gender-swapped.", Burst joked. Twilight's jaw dropped, and Celestia giggled.

"You have your father's humor.", Celestia said with a smile. "You also have his eyes and heart. Whenever someone was in trouble he'd always rush in to save them."

"Heh. Reminds me of a dream I had when I was a colt.", Burst said with a smile.

"Really? What was it?"

"I used to dream of being a superhero. I'd fight bad-guys, come to the rescue, and save the day. I guess today I lived my dream." Celestia was about to answer when Luna pulled her away.

"Excuse me for a moment." Celestia and Luna met in private. "What is it Luna?"

"Well, sister. I've been thinking. After all the years we've been together, we've never had the time to find somepony to love. Burst and Inferno are fellow alicorns. So...I was thinking.....

"You don't need to continue Luna.", Celestia said with a knowing smile. "I know where this is leading. And I can't help but agree with you." Celestia and Luna then looked at Burst and Inferno. "Maybe we don't need to be alone anymore."
