The curtains close, and Twilight sticks her head out between them.

"There will now be a fifteen minute intermission." she goes back in.

"Well done." said Flash.

"Thanks, you… weren't so bad yourself…" she turns her head blushing.

"Um… you know, if you're not busy after the show, do you… do you want to stroll the gardens with me?" he rubs his neck and braces for the answer.

"That would be… amazing! I would love to…"

On the other side of the theater, Fluttershy was drinking water, then feeding the Breezies the same with an eyedropper.

"There you go; you all did a good job."

They nodded as Sea Breeze spoke, "And you as well. But if you don't mind me saying so, but why must you act like you're in love with the spirit of chaos? You really don't."

"That's just it, Sea Breeze; we are acting, and Discord and I are just friends, we've never shown any romantic feelings for each other. Mainly because we don't want to."

"But why are you feeling happy whenever you're around him?"

"How do you…"

"Breezies can know a pony's feelings. We can sense emotion even at a distance."

"Does he… no, that can't be… Discord would never feel that way… I was always under the impression he doesn't like love… but… if he can feel friendship, could he?"

"I wish I can tell you, but it is a Breezie rule that we don't reveal what another pony's feeling to another pony."

"Oh, I understand… and you're right, that's a private feeling that no pony should know about." she sees Rarity reapplying makeup, "There's Rarity, I want to tell her she's doing great so far, I'll be right back."

One of the breezies asks, "Should we tell her that the spirit has a crush on her?"

"No, they have to find out themselves what their true feelings are for each other, because even she doesn't realize how much she likes him…"

Meanwhile, Apple Jack, Spike, and Rainbow Dash were moving sets, getting ready for the next act.

"How's it looking so far?" he asks.

"The play or your acting skills?" kid Apple Jack.

"Well, both."

"You're doing great!" said Rainbow, "Just keep it up for the next act."

"Thanks, I worry about Twilight, though… She's been goo-goo eye lately."

"That's because she's got her crush as her leading pony…" AJ pointed slyly.

"Yeah, those two will be on a date before you know it." said Rainbow.

"That… may have already happen…" he pointed to Twilight and Flash talking.

"What did I tell you?" Rainbow smirks.

On the other side of the stage, some pony else was also watching the cute couple with a disapproving look.

"Prince Blueblood?" Cadence came up to him.

"Ah, Princess Mi Amora Cadenza." he bows to her, she bows in return. "I was just admiring Princess Twilight Sparkle on how she mingles to the commoners."

"As I understand it… Flash Sentry is more than a commoner; he is, after all, in my personal royal guard, as Shining Armor was in Canterlot."

"Yes, I never did question your marriage as he was born and breed in Canterlot and proving himself to be a capable Captain of the Guard. You chose well to marry."

"Um, thank you? So, have you considered marriage?"

"I have, but I will only wed a mare who is worthy of stature… Perhaps the lovely Princess Twilight?"

"Uh, perhaps…" she uneasily begins to leave, "Well, I'm sure you're busy, you are in the next scene, after all."

"Yes, quite busy. We should get together again sometime."

"Yes… sometime… well, goodbye." quickly bows her head then goes to her and Shining Armor's dressing room. "You might want to keep an eye on His Highness."

"Prince Blueblood? Why?"

"He's thinking about courting Twilight."

"What?!" His expression suddenly sours as he says, "Oh, no! Not my sister!"

"I figured that would be your reaction, but I must ask, would you be upset if she was dating Flash Sentry?"

"No, in fact, I'd be thrilled! Flash is a good soldier and an even better guy. I should know, he was under my command during his training. So… what about him?"

"He and Twilight have been closer ever since this play started; I think they'll have their first date tonight."

"Well, I'll make sure to stay out of the way, then."

"Wow, I thought for sure I'd see some protective big brother mode here."

"You probably would, if I didn't know the guy ahead of time. All the more reason why Twilight was suspicious of Chrysalis when she was pretending to be you, because she knew you before when she was a foal."

"Because I was her foal-sitter, that makes sense."

"But believe me, I don't want Twily dating Blueblood, I definitely draw the line at him."

"I agreed. He only approves of our marriage because you were born in Canterlot. I was so upset to find out he would only marry some pony that matched his regal title, and that's why he's aiming for Twilight."

"We should warn her."

"Yes, but after the next act. It's almost time for the curtain to go up and Twilight needs to do the next scene with Blueblood anyway. The last thing I want to do is make her worry."

"You're right… but the minute she's done…"

"Yes…" they touch horns.

Fluttershy finds Discord in his dressing room, he was on the floating couch again but this time he was upside down, letting blood rush into his head if he had any.

"Won't you feel dizzy?" she asks him.

"Nonsense! I could do this all day!"

"Well, don't. You have a play to perform in…"

"Well, duh! I'm not about to miss my big début now!" twisting his body upside up, "We are after all the most important characters of the show!"

"I wouldn't say the most important…"

"Oh, you're so modest! You never give yourself enough credit."

"It's just… I can't face a huge crowd alone… Even when I'm singing, I can't do it with eyes watching me…" she gulps.

He gave a look of concern, "You… you have stage fright?"

"Yes… very much so." she turns away in shame, but he moves her chin with his claw back to face him.

"Now you listen to me, Fluttershy. You have more talent than you know of… You are a gifted singer and an amazing actress! Such talent like that should not be hidden from the world! With my help, you can shine!"

"You… you can do that?"

"But of course! You've helped me out, didn't you? So I didn't have to return to a stone prison… The least I can do is by repaying you and that is by helping you overcome your awful stage fright!"

"I… suppose… could you really do it?"

"My dear, when this night is up, you want to be on a stage all the time! But for now…" summons a pocket watch, "It's showtime!"

Review please.
