The next day...
Starlight was reading a book on her bed. It was a good book, about how the world was not going to roll her if she was one step ahead of it. The characters were really engaging, discussing the reality that, well, not everything goes according to plan. Sometimes life has this way of telling ponies things, and well…
“Hey, Starlight!”
“Come in!” Starlight said, shuffling her book into her bookcase.
The door to her bedroom swung wide open. “Thought, I’d swing by to talk to you about something important.”
“Something import—”
Starlight gasped. In front of her were two ponies—or, well, a pony and a dragon.
“Starlight, I’d like you to formally meet Trixie, my marefriend.”
She felt like her brows had reached the top of her forehead. There was no way she could take this situation head-on again.
“Look, I’m still trying to comprehend that you two are dating and—” Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Her body shook on the mattress. “Wait, formally meet? I thought you two did that with Poptart and I yesterday?”
Trixie stepped forward, smiling and nuzzling into her dragon. “Trixie had realized something. Something important.”
“And that is…?”
Then, Starlight’s nightmares came to life. Her friend, a mare of great power and strength, smirked at her and said three tantalizing words that scorched her skin.
“Kisses are hot.”
And suddenly, Starlight felt like she was on fire.
“Poptart! They weren’t faking it! They’re actually together!”
“And what do you want me to do about it?”
“I don’t know, poof this reality out of this atmosphere?!”
“If I knew the spell, I wouldn’t want that to happen!”
“Why? Are you mad?”
“No, because then I may not be with you!”
“Oh, Celestia, then knock me out so I don’t have to see tomorrow!”
Poptart rolled his eyes. “Mares these days.” He looked at the castle and smiled. “Guess we really did pick the best ones out of the bunch, eh, Spike?”
