Six ponies sat together beneath the stars. Six ponies sat with smiles on their faces, and happiness in their hearts. Six ponies sat, gazing upon one of the most beautiful sights in the world.  Five ponies sat, and looked at the stars. One pony did not.

One pony had her eyes set on another, and knew that nothing in the world could compare. One pony had her eyes set on another, and knew she was the luckiest mare in the world. One pony moved, ever so slightly. Five ponies remained unaware.

Softly she crept, closer and closer and inch by inch, to where that most perfect of ponies sat with eyes wide and smile shining. Softly she crept, little by little, and with each step closer her heart grew lighter and her fear grew less.

One pony reached another, and lay her head on her shoulder. Another turned her eyes from the sky above, and graced her with a smile - wide and bright and perfect. That perfect pony moved closer and closer, inch by inch, so very, very slowly. Beneath the stars, one pony kissed another. Just a little thing, light and fleeting. Beneath the stars one pony smiled, for she knew the truth.

The stars would endure forever, far above and twinkling. But each kiss was a special thing, a gift. Each kiss lasted only a moment, and then it was gone forever. Two ponies had shared one hundred kisses, and knew them each by heart. Two ponies looked at one another, smiles on their faces and happiness in their hearts.

Two ponies sat, gazing upon the most beautiful sight in all the world.
