	Twilight awoke to the sound of a pounding at the door. She wasn't at all sure what pony it could be. 'I guess there's only way to find out' Twilight mumbled to herself as she slowly got out of the safety of her star and moon comforted bed.

The door was locked and like usual her thoughts were foggy in the morning. She tried many times to open the door before she realized it was locked. 

Feather Dust's face lit up, well as much as it could before Celestia raised the sun, when she saw a purple aurora around the door knob. 

Twilight opened the door to see an overly happy pony staring at her. "Good Morning, Feather Dust." Twilight barely got her words out through her yawn.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you Twilight?" Feather Dust asked still to happy, but now with a little disappointment in her voice. 

"Yea, you did but it's fine I needed to get up today anyway." Twilight was still obviously tired.

Feather Dust now bouncing around Twilight enthusiastically asked, "So what are we going to do today?"

Twilight was now a little more awake. "Whatever you want to do, Feather Dust?"

"Oh, sweet Celestia! There's so much I could think of for us to do! We could go shopping, or go to the mall! Oh, or maybe the spa! We could go to the boutique!"- Twilight interrupted Featherdust's seemingly endless chatter.

"How about we walk around Ponyville until you decide, Feather."

"Sounds good. Oh, and Twilight could you just call me Feather?"

"Of course I can!"

Twilight and Feather walked for a while until Feather finally recommended going shopping for Rarity. Of course, Feather wasn't going to stop at that. After Twilight and Feather shopped for Rarity, they went out to lunch at a  place called  The Red Phoenix it was pretty costly but being a princess the prices dropped to about half the original bit cost.

"Aren't you just so excited for the ball that is in two nights?"

Twilight began to blush and smile as she thought of Lightning Moon, his tuxedo Rarity had made for him and the dance she had wished to share with him that night. "Yeah, I'm pretty excited how about you, Feather?"

"You bet! I just can't wait!" There was an awkward, but nice moment of silence until Featherdust broke it.
"Hey Twilight. Do you really like my big brother?"

Twilight's cheeks turned as red as the last tomato left in her salad.





	Ever since Twilight became an alicorn it seemed like every pony, aside from the bearers of the elements, only wanted to know her because she was a princess. But it felt as if Lightning Moon hadn't even noticed she was a princess. It was almost like he-





Feather Dust interrupted her thoughts of Lightning by yelling "You do! You like my brother!"

That's when Red Phoenix got chaotic. At the sound of a princess crushing on a stallion, every pony who was there and then some rushed to the table to ask about the stallion the princess was crushing on. Questions came from every which way. "Where'd you meet him? Do you think he could your special some pony? Does he like you?" These were just the most frequently asked and usually that last question went off like a field of land mines. After the question 'Does he like you?' was asked, every pony put there two bits into it. "Of course he likes her, look at her!" "She's a princess, he has to!" Twilight despised it when the ponies made a big deal about her even if she did like the discounts she didn't like every word she said to be so.. well, public. When Featherdust noticed Twilight getting fed up with the questions she ran to the front door of The Red Phoenix and yelled "Hey Look! Its Photo Finish" All the ponies rushed to the door at the mention of the celebrity as one of the cooks let Twilight and Featherdust sneak out the back door.

Now, the two ponies were laughing at the scene other ponies made at The Red Phoenix as they walked around Ponyville. "Hey, Twilight do you want to go get our hooves and manes done together the night of the ball so you look your absolutely best for Lightning?" Featherdust playfully bumped Twilight's rump with hers, obviously teasing her about her hard to deny crush.

"I'd like that. Can the other girls come with us too?"

"Of course!" Featherdust didn't want the others there but she agreed since after all she did promise to be nice, even if her hooves were crossed behind her back, she could still play nice, at least.
