Dream On

[At the Ice Cream Shop…] *Ace walks in*

"Hi Starlight," said Ace.

"Hey Ace," said Starlight. What'll it be?

"Oh nothing, I'm not hungry but I thought I'd drop by and say hi," said Ace. See ya. *he leaves*

"Is it just me or did Ace look a whole lot better today than usual?" thought Starlight. There's just something about him but I can't put my hoof on just exactly what that something is. It'll have to be something figured out later as I've got customers now.

"Hi Starlight," said Melody as she and the rest of the gang walk in.

"So, what can I get you all?" asked Starlight.

"Banana Split for me," said Bon Bon.

"I want a regular sundae," said Melody.

"Nothing truly for me, Starlight," said Sweetheart.

"What about you, Patch?" asked Starlight.

"Giant sundae," said Patch. With sprinkles, whipped cream and hot fudge.

"Someone's hungry today," said Starlight. *she starts making the sundaes, then stops, putting the wrong toppings on the wrong orders*

"Uh Starlight, are you feeling okay?" asked Bright Eyes. You're putting the wrong toppings on our orders.

"Huh? Oh sorry," said Starlight. Must have dozed off there for a second. Let me try again. *she puts the bowls aside, then gets out fresh bowls and starts again, then once again stops and puts toppings where they shouldn't be*

"I think something's wrong with Starlight," whispered Bright Eyes.

"Yeah, she's never gotten an order wrong," whispered Melody.

"Starlight," said Bon Bon. *Starlight didn't answer. Starlight, are you there? *Bright Eyes waves her hoof in front of Starlight's face and Starlight regains focus*

"What happened?" asked Starlight.

"That's what we want to know, Starlight," said Bright Eyes.

"I'm sorry," said Starlight. It's just that Ace stopped by earlier and I haven't been able to concentrate after he left. The sundaes are free today since I've been screwing up. I have no idea why this could be happening to me.

"I think you like Ace," said Bright Eyes.

"You truly seem to if that's all you could focus on," said Sweetheart.

"I guess that could be true, I've had an interest in him before and even wrote a song about it," said Starlight. I think there's only one thing left to do.

"What's that, Starlight?" asked Melody.

"Tell Ace that I love him," said Starlight.

"We'll follow," said Bright Eyes. *Starlight and the rest of the gang visit Ace's house and ring his doorbell*

"What's up, Starlight?" asked Ace.

"Ace, I have something to tell you," said Starlight. I-I love you.

"Well I do have the good looks," said Ace brushing back his hair.

"That's all I wanted to say," said Starlight.

"Well it sure was a surprise, Starlight," said Ace.

"Yeah, well see ya," said Starlight. *they leave and Ace closes his door* Well that feels better now. I think I can go back to making correct orders again.

"That's good," said Bright Eyes. Ace didn't even seem to mind that you love him.

"That's what makes it even better," said Starlight. I guess we do make a perfect pair.

"Doesn't he still like Melody, though?" asked Bright Eyes.

"Can't he truly love both Starlight and Melody?" asked Sweetheart.

"He doesn't love me, Sweetheart, I love him," said Starlight. I don't know if he'll love me back if he loves Melody instead.

"Either way, we'll still love you," said Bon Bon.

"Thanks," said Starlight. It's getting late here, I'm supposed to be home by now. See you guys later.

"Bye, Starlight," said everyone else. *they go their separate ways*

"Even if Ace doesn't love me back, at least I can now get things right with my job at the Ice Cream Shop," thought Starlight.
