Dusk Shine has had a crush on Elusive for a few months, unsure of where these feelings started. He had started doing research, trying to figure out these new feelings. Now that he's discovered what they are, he's started reading romance to figure out what to do next. Is he going to take that step and tell Elusive how he feels, or is he going to keep it all bottled up?

Ever since the Gala, Soarin has had a crush on Rainbow Dash, but more recently these feelings had developed into something more. It had been a week since Dash finally joined the Wonderbolts and her first disastrous show. He worked up the courage to tell Dash how he felt, only for her to reject him. These are the months following this event.
