Finding Starlight's Home
After his talk with Flash, Sunburst had decided that he was going to try and do something romantic. He had decided that not only was he going to write a romantic poem for Starlight, but he was also going to buy a dozen roses and deliver them to her at home. There was only one problem, he had no clue where Starlight lived. He thought to himself, "How can I do this if I don't even know where she lives." His head shot up as he continued, "Of course, her and Trixie headed to the north. Maybe if I run, I can catch up with them and see where she lives."
Sunburst had never been an athlete but knew that if he was to discover where the object of his affection lived, that he would have to run and run fast so he took off to the north. It was not too long after he began to run that he felt a burning sensation in his lungs and had begun to sweat. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath and said to himself, "Come on Sunburst, you have to keep going!"
He again took off, sprinting as fast as he could in the dress shoes that he always wore. After what seemed to be forever for him, he finally saw Trixie and Starlight heading into what appeared to be a fairly nice house. Once they headed inside, he crept up to the house and noticed a marking on the door, one similar to a design that is on Trixie's dress. He said to himself, "Well this has to be Trixie's house! Now I have to wait for Starlight to head home and who knows how long it will take."
Sunburst hid in some bushes and waited until he saw not only Starlight leave, but Trixie as well. He was in a state of shock when he saw both girls go into what was Starlight's house. At first he couldn't help but wonder why both girls would head into that house until two things came to his mind, either Trixie and Starlight were having a sleepover or Trixie actually lived with Starlight given how close they were.
He approached the house and after looking at it for a minute, he noticed that there was a security camera watching his every move. He realized that he had to leave but in the process, he activated a motion sensor causing a light to come on. This was his cue that he had better get going, especially if Starlight had a monitor inside that she could monitor everything that the camera saw.
Preparing to Visit Starlight
Once Sunburst discovered where Starlight lived, he began the long journey to his home on the other side of town. The trip home was even longer and when he arrived home, it was about an hour after midnight but he did not care. He had discovered where Starlight lived and despite being tired, he put the next part of his plan into action, writing a romantic poem that would be sure to woo the girl he had a crush on.
Sunburst had always been the analytical, academic type. Writing poetry and doing anything else creative had never been his strong point but he knew this had to be done. He grabbed a notebook and a pen and sat down to get to work. He sat there for fifteen minutes tapping the pen on the paper and he sighed, "Ugh, why must this be so hard? Why are words so hard to come up with?"
He lowered his head onto his desk until something crossed his mind, "I've got it! I'll get online and look for poems!"
Sunburst turned on his computer and got online. Once he got his browser loaded, the very first thing he did was search for romantic poems. When the results came up, he was overwhelmed as he had no idea that there were that many romantic poems.
As he began to go through them, he saw that there were ones for married couples, ones for engagement, ones for serious couples but was seeing none that were designed for a boy to try and win a girl's affection. He began to bang his head on his desk and grunted, "Ugh, I can't even find a poem on the internet, this is hopeless!"
When he was banging his head on the desk, his head hit his mouse and clicked it. When he sat back up he saw the next page of results had shown up on the screen, a page that had exactly what he was looking for. He pumped his fist and cheered, "Yes, just what I'm looking for!"
He grabbed his pen and began to write it down.
* If you only knew how beautiful you are to me
You'd know I see an angel every time I look at you.
I get short of breath my heart first skips a beat.
Then speeds up fast.
Feeling as if it will pound right out of my chest.You're so beautiful I wish I had more than two pictures.
of which I could get comfort and admire
That perfect smile which enraptures me through and through
I look at them and I say I love you. I miss you so very much.
They provide me comfort in those hardest times.
When I'm so very lonely and need you by my side.You're so very beautiful to me.
If you only knew how much.
You're divine to me as a perfect jewel.
I just want to hold and kiss you all night long.
You're just beautiful through and through.
He smiled and said to himself, "I know this will work, these sweet words will win her over."
He looked at his clock and notice that it was almost three in the morning and realized that he had better get some rest. He turned everything off and laid there with a smile on his face realizing that later that day would be his chance to win over Starlight and get her to go to the spring formal with him.
The following morning Sunburst was late to rise but he figured that this was likely for the best so that he would be well rested for when he went to visit Starlight. After grabbing a quick bite to eat he headed to the local florist to buy Starlight something he knew that she couldn't resist, a dozen roses.
