Rarity asked, falling onto her bed, hugging her pillow. "Who? Fashion Plate?" Spitfire asked, ignoring her as she lay beside Fleetfoot on Pinkie's bed. The group was sitting in Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy's room on the Saturday night after the school's Banquet, in their pajamas. They were watching a movie-they were supposed to be, anyway. Rarity kept interrupting with comments on the outfits, and now about this. "Who else? We're made for each other, I just know it." Rarity sighed, and Fleetfoot shrugged. "To each their own, I guethth. I didn't notice you two, Thpit and I were looking at Rainbow and her guy." "Her guy? Which one?!" Rarity demanded, sitting up eagerly. Twilight sighed and grabbed the remote, pausing the movie. "The prince/knight, Soarin." Spitfire replied "Ooh, what was he like?" Rarity asked, and Rainbow blushed. She was sitting cross-legged beside Spitfire and Fleetfoot, and blushed, twisting the blanket in her hands. "H-he was nice. A-and he was going to-" Rainbow broke off, suddenly shy. "What?" Pinkie asked "He-he was going to-to kiss me." Rainbow admitted, and Rarity, Pinkie, and Starlight squealed. "Wait, going to? Why didn't he?" Sunset asked, and Rainbow sighed. "Dust pushed me away from him and ruined the moment. Soarin helped me back up though, and-and he kinda...kissed my cheek." she reached up a hand and grazed the place where his lips had touched her cheek. "That's so romantic." Fluttershy sighed. She was sitting on her bed beside Starlight, who was doing her hair. "Thanks for letting me practice my french braids in your hair Fluttershy." "You're welcome Starlight, I was happy to do it." Fluttershy replied. Twilight was curled up nearby, she had gotten her book and was reading. "What about the rest of you?" Rarity asked "Did you find anyone special at the banquet?" "Discord was nice." "So was Flash." "I loved talking with Cheese Sandwich, he made me laugh!" "Well, I guess dancin' with Twilight's brother was kinda nice. I mean Spike, not Shining." "I...I liked hanging out with your brother Sunset." Starlight said softly, and Twilight looked up. "And I had fun with your brother Starlight, Star Tracker knows so much about Astronomy." Twilight added "I think that's everyone. I did notice you two dancing, but I suppose that was obvious." Rarity commented, looking at Spitfire and Fleetfoot. Spitfire nodded, blushing a little. "Still, it was nice to dance with my girlfriend." Spitfire said, and Fleetfoot smiled. "I had fun too." Fleetfoot told her, then yawned and shifted closer to Spitfire, closing her eyes. "Let's press play, I need to find out if the people get together!" Pinkie cried, diving for the remote. Twilight yelped in surprise and dropped it. "Pinkie, you know it's a semi-modern retelling of the Prince and the Pauper, right?" Twilight asked "Well, duh! But there's no couple in that story!" "Well, true. And there's no look-alikes that are played by twin actresses, either. But it's still a rendition of the classic story." "Shh!" Pinkie hissed as she hit play. They continued to watch the movie until most of them fell asleep.
