"I don't think you are lazy at all. I love your magic, Star." "We'll think of something" Starshy was much relived to hear this. " Thank you, Chocolate. For understanding. " She smiled once again, back to her cheerful self. Now that the subject has shifted, she could think about what they were going to see at this little theater they had just arrived at. When she heard his suggestion of seeing the magic show, she gave a nod of approval. She'd never seen a magic show before - never had anyone to see it with before. Just being with Chocolate was opening up all these opportunities to do things that she would otherwise pass up.

Starshy looked concerned at his suggestion. She didn't know if that could really work. "I appreciate you trying to think of something but wouldn't that make them angrier? They could just fix you up, and it would take longer, but me showing off my magic would be just that - showing off. That I can heal you faster with magic and you don't need good old fashion rest and healing up slowly..." She sighed heavily. "I want the approval of your family but without my magic to prove it. They obviously don't like it since they think I have it easier or something..as if I'm lazy and can't do anything without magic."

Trotting along side her coltfriend, Starshy heard him say something about how he could get his family to accept her. That was rather out of the blue, but hey, at least he trying to think of something. " Yes, of course. I do want your families approval. We may not be getting married or anything but it'd be nice to not hide it from them. " Starshy nodded. Speaking of parents, she thought of her own. They wouldn't be as disapproving, probably. She hadn't seen them for a while and she made a mental note to go visit them sometime in the near future.

Starshy snapped out of her daze, shaking her head. " No, don't apologize.. I rather liked it. A lot. " She blushed yet again, it was turning into something she couldn't help doing when she was around her new coltfriend. " I haven't stopped thinking about you either. " She confessed as well, getting up and gave a nod. " Yes, let's go. We can head to that theater you were talking about earlier. "

Sometimes I'll write up a status, but very sparingly. Although much more than I'd never write a status for Facebook (which is... never).

Starshy chewed on the lower lip of her muzzle, watching him as he considered her words. She feared for a moment that he'd rejected her. Maybe in means to keep her from getting hurt by his family, but honestly she'd be much more hurt by his rejection. They hadn't been around each other that much up until this point and after spending time with him, on his farm, and this, well it was hard not to develop feelings for him. He was kind, brave, thoughtful, and so many other things. She enjoyed spending time with him and telling him about her magic. If she had to give that all up now, she'd be crushed. However, much to her slight surprise, he moved over to her side of the table and sat next to her. She glanced up at him, shaking with anxiousness, and then he began to lower his head. Her eyelids fluttered closed and feeling his muzzle pressed up against hers for a second time was like.. tasting water after having none for days. Refreshing and right and wonderful... She was floating as he pulled away, her eyelids opening. " Yes " came his responds and she couldn't help smiling.

"Will you be my...my...colt friend?" Starshy asked, lowering her head sheepishly. She managed to get it out alright, thankfully. It was still slightly embarrassing to ask. Her eyes cautiously lifted to study his reaction. He didn't look shocked or upset. She hoped the answer would be yes.

Starshy perked up at the mention of going to a theater. " I've never been before. It sounds like fun. " She smiled, guiding the piece of her egg omelet she cut to her mouth and chewed. Now that he wasn't worrying about her horn anymore, the young mare felt strangely sad that he wasn't fusing over her. It was silly, honestly, why should she care suddenly? After a minute or two of silence between them, maybe more, Starshy felt the need to ask something. She didn't know how'd she be able to without becoming a blushing mess but it was necessary. Even though they had confessed to each other the other day they hadn't really made it official yet. " Chocolate... c-can I ask you something? "

Starshy shook her head. " No, it only hurts slightly as I'm performing a spell or levitating. " She felt a little self-conscious with him looking at her horn like that but had remind herself that he just wasn't use to being around unicorns much. In the back in her mind, there was a question if he asked his Pegasus marefriend this any questions back when he was with her. Starshy blushed at the closeness of his face to hers, but then he was apologizing and saying that he was only worried about her safety. " It's ok, I'll be fine. I appreciate your concern though. " She was happy to see that their orders arrived, and she used her magic to levitate the folk and knife. They cut into her meal on their own, and glancing up she noticed he was still occasionally looking at her horn. " My horn does happen to be sensitive, as I can feel when I'm using my magic every time. It's just the way that it's works. But I don't think you need to worry so much. I may be a small pony but the most I'll feel is maybe a small stain but nothing more than that. "

She sat down across from Chocolate, and quickly scanning over the menu, made her order. Chocolate's offer to pay again made her want to protest, but she decided not to say anything. He was much too kind for his own good. This was starting to feel more and more like a date even though it was still morning. She blushed a bit at the thought. "What are you capable of with your magic? Is their limits? Does it hurt when you use it?" Starshy smiled at all his questions. He was quiet adorable being so curious about her ability to use magic. He was like a child trying to soak up new information. She cleared her throat and began to speak, " I can make objects move and levitate making it easy to lift them or what have you. I can transform things, transport myself from one spot to another. Heal an injured pony. And of course there are limits. Some spells are too advanced for a regular unicorn like myself to perform. I can't make ponies act against their free will or make any pony fall in love with another pony, unless you are Princess Cadence. It can hurt sometimes when trying to perform a difficult spell, or just attempting to lift something that is heavy like a bale of hay. It all depends. "

Starshy happily trotted along side Chocolate, taking notice of how much he loomed over her. It made her wonder about what he was like as a young foal. Was he just as big or actually small like most foals? Starshy pondered over this for a moment as they walked, admiring the sunny day that was ahead of them. When he asked about her magic, she titled her head. No pony had really asked this before, not even earth ponies she'd come across occasionally. They weren't nearly as curious, especially those living in Ponyville where many unicorns like herself lived. " What would you like to know? "

The kiss on her cheek made her flustered, if she had wings they'd be popping up right about now. She nodded her thanks at his compliment. At the suggestion of a walk around town, Starshy grinned. " That sounds like a fun idea. Then as we walk, we can figure out what to do next.. like eat breakfast. " She suggested, looking at him. It still amazed her that after all this time they'd somehow come together again. Was it fate? Or just a coincidence? Starshy would like it think of it as fate, sounded more romantic in her mind.

Starshy's ears perked up at the sound of a knock. She trotted over to the door, opening it with her magic. On the other side was Chocolate, whom she had already guessed. "Good Morning, Chocolate. " She smiled at him, walking out from her house into the bright sunny morning. The door closed behind her. She then stood next to the gentle stallion, lifting her hoof and gently brushing it against his hind leg affectionately. Starshy wasn't afraid to show her affection now, she'd been hesitate before. Things were different now.

The white mare awoke to the sound of birds chipping in the trees. Starshy yawned a bit, getting herself out of bed. She went about her daily morning routine. As she was brushing her teeth, the toothbrush moving on it's own from her magic, she realized something. She was going to be spending time with Chocolate today and not just on his farm. She smiled to herself, with this realization in mind, and went back to her room. Starshy used her magic to open the doors of her closet and picked out a cute little summer dress to wear. It was a soft butter yellow with daisies. Once she was all ready, she went downstairs and waited for Chocolate's arrival.

Starshy waved goodbye to Chocolate after he had taken her home. She closed the door and slumped against it, glowing from her first kiss with him. She touched her hoof to her muzzle and then grinned like the giddy mare that she was. There was a small thought in her mind as she sat there that this happiness she was feeling may not last. Chocolate's family wasn't actually, well, friendly. She hadn't come across any of his other folks but if they were anything like his cousin, it made her shudder. It wasn't like she was going to get married to him now - that idea made her blush - she just wanted to be his marefriend. That was all. Apparently too much to ask for, but she didn't want to give up either. They were just starting to become more than friends, sharing their first kiss and all (thanks to her taking that step). Deciding on to dwell on this anymore, Starshy literally bounced up the stairs to her room, not all too tired to get to bed. She took her time getting herself ready, brushing her teeth and dressing into a simple nightgown. She trotted slowly to her bedroom and got into bed. Her eyelids drifted close and soon was fast asleep.

Starshy smiled back, pleased they had this chance to talk one on one. What a nice change from all the craziness that occurred back at the resort and there was always some pony around. She glanced up at the setting sun, realizing it was getting later in the day. " I should probably be headed back to the farm. " Starshy heard Chocolate say, and she suddenly got a little anxious. He couldn't leave just yet! Not after they just confessed to each other. She had to do something before they parted for the night. She prayed that he wouldn't be upset with her for doing this. She used her magic to gently lower Chocolate's head, and then leaned in over the table claiming his lips. This would be the first kiss she has ever shared with the mighty stallion and it felt pretty good. Starshy soon let the kiss end, blushing at her boldness. " No, we should definitely see each other tomorrow. "

" I remember feeling the same way when I saw you with that other mare.. " Starshy admitted, thinking back on that time. She had liked Storm a lot. However, considering what happened, her feelings for him had lessened greatly. However, her feelings for Chocolate had still remained. She didn't want to "go after him" as it were too risky. After the trip was over she had gone back to her daily route again. She wasn't sure if he was still with that Pegasus mare and didn't want to bother him. Once again, she was bought back to the present as Chocolate presented her with a flower. She grabbed with her mouth, and then used her free hoof to place it into her mane by her right ear. " Thank you so much, Chocolate. "

Starshy's cheeks turned a soft pinkish hue at his confession. She had a feeling that he liked her, but to hear it straight from him made all the difference in the world. " I'm fond of you too, Chocolate. " She softly replied, reaching her hoof over to his. " I'd say that I was since the first time I met you. It was unfortunate that we went our separate ways and had other special someponies. Although, I had always wanted you to be my special somepony.. " She confessed with a sheepish grin. It felt so good to come out with that, get it off her chest finally. There wasn't really any other ponies she could confine in, this had been a secret for a while. She certainly wasn't going to tell Mrs. Cupcake, despite how she liked the older mare. The subject didn't come up much, and Starshy would not be a pony to bring it up either.

At the cafe, they made their orders and sat down a small table. She sat across from Chocolate, smiling when he mentioned that he'd buy for their meal. That was rather nice of him, she thought. After their orders came, and she began to eat, her eyes glanced upwards from her food to Chocolate. She had a curious expression on her face. What could he want to say to her? " Yes, go on. I'm all ears. " She encouraged him to continue. Her heart was strangely racing in anticipation; her food temporarily forgotten.

Starshy didn't mind that the walk back to ponyville was a quiet one. She didn't have to many anyway, being lost again in her thoughts. How could she have a relationship with Chocolate if his family wasn't going to approve of her? Was she willing to fight for her non-exist relationship with him? These questions, for now, would have to left unanswered. When they reached Ponyville, her head perked upwards at the sound of his voice. " It's ok, Chocolate. Don't beat yourself up over it." She replied with a gentle smile. Her eyes shifted from him, to glance around the town, to figure out where they could eat. She lifted her hoof and pointed in the direction of a cafe that was nearby. "How 'bout over there? They have some tasty sandwiches." Starshy looked back at Chocolate, nodding at what he said next. " I agree. You can ask me anything, I've got nothing to hide. "

Starshy lifted a hoof to brush away the sweat that had developed on her face. She could feel her own body was getting a bit sweaty as well. Even though most of the time had been spent just painting, the skies were clear and the sun was out. It had been a fairly warm morning and into the afternoon, the sun was feeling even warmer. Starshy wasn't use to working out in the heat like this, and she'd likely get a bit (or even a lot) of a sunburn if she stayed out much longer. She was thinking to herself as she painted that Chocolate could do these things so easily. It was his livelihood, after all. He probably had been working on a farm by the time he could walk. When she heard his hoof-steps, she set her paintbrush down and glanced up at him. When he asked her about getting some food in town, she was about to reply, but he'd cut his words short and then blocked her view of whatever was beyond them. Starshy's expression was a tad puzzled, but then figured perhaps it was because another pony (or big draft horse like him) was watching. As she didn't want to cause more problem then necessary, she nodded and started toward the gate.
