With Hearts and Hooves day coming up, Starlight has had plenty of time to give thought into her feelings regarding Twilight. It's been months since her reforming and she's came to a conclusion she didn't think was possible. She's fallen for Twilight and she wants to ask her to be her special somepony on Hearts and Hooves day. She's never done such a thing before, so she was rightfully worried about how to go about it. She doesn't want to mess it up, so she goes to the first creature she can think of that would help her out. That being: Spike.

Once she comes to a conclusion, she is eager to play everything out with Twilight. What she wasn't aware of was something that would come along and mess up the evening she had delicately planned.

This is cross-posted on AO3.

A quick oneshot idea I had in the middle of the night that's set just a few days after the season 5 finale.

Starlight is prone to overthinking especially with everything that just happened, it was hard to even imagine she deserved the treatment she was receiving. But no matter how many times Starlight turns away from it all, Twilight is there to reassure her. Twilight wants nothing more than to help Starlight feel like she belongs and understand that she is becoming somepony knew, change is hard and it seems to be hitting Starlight more than others in the current time.
