She felt light, like she could just float away. Something about the pink mare filled Twilight with joy. The way Pinkie could spread happiness to anyone she met, or the way she could face almost any problem with a positive attitude. Pinkie made Twilight a little jealous, if she were to be totally honest. She wished she could be more like Pinkie. So open about her feelings, so friendly and extroverted. Even though she was studying the magic of friendship, Twilight still often felt out of place in social situations. Yes, she loved spending time with her friends, the six of them were so comfortable together that she could never feel out of place with them, but she was awkward and shy around ponies she didn’t know. Pinkie never had to deal with that, though, because there wasn’t a single pony she didn’t know. And if one happened to arrive, Pinkie made it her business to get to know them. Pinkie had countless friends, and Twilight was incredibly grateful to be among those closest to her. Sometimes, she wished they could be more than that. She always felt bad because of it, Twilight knew she shouldn’t feel that way about one of her closest friends. But late at night when she was alone with her thoughts, Twilight found herself fixated on Pinkie, that fascinating mare who was different from her in so many ways. Everything that Twilight herself felt she was lacking, Pinkie had in scores. Maybe that was behind her strange feelings for Pinkie. In a way, her friend completed her.
