A long time ago...

Starflower kissed back this time, her eyes staring in his.

As they both stopped, Metal needed a moment to recover.. all he could say at this moment was
"W-wow..."

Starflower gasped for breath. Her cheeks were still red, and she still had no clue how to feel. But she knew a bit more how she felt about him. "I... I love you..." she said as softly as she could.

"I love you too" Metal sayed as he leaned softly into her
"Starflower...? Do you have any family or friends here in Ponyville?" He asked with a calming voice

Star was amazed that he heard her. But she shook her head no at the question. "None... All my family is back in my hometown." She didn't want to talk about her family, even her sister whom she adored.

"Well uhm.. I asked myself if you maybe need someone... to love..." Metal didnt really dare to ask her, he took a big gasp.. "D-do you want to be my m-mare friend?"

She froze, the redness in her face visible for her. She felt better after the rest she had. "Um...I... have to... go... I'll get back to you on that question." she dashed off quite rudely, but she was blushing so much she felt worse. She dashed halfway to her house in the sky, then flew the rest of the way. He wants to be my colt-friend?! Starflower, you ingnorent fool! Great going... she thought to herself. "You idiot..." she thought aloud as she landed at her cloud house.

Metal layed back on the couch, thinking he had done something wrong Metal you idiot, why did you ask her? You only know her for a few hours He tought while staring at the ceiling of his house

They went without seeing each other for three days, but Starflower just had to see him. She didn't know why, but she felt compelled to at least speak to him again. She trotted up to the place she was at yesterday, hoodie on.

Metal just went out of his workshop .. when he saw Star he blushed.
It was so embaracing to him
"Oh hey Starflower..." He sayed while looking at the ground

She blushed as well. "Hey, Metal... Um, were you serous with the question you asked three days ago?" She was hopeful that he was, and really hoped she wasn't tricked. She be sobbing if it were a hoxe.

He looked up to her beautiful green eyes "Of course I were serious.. why would I try to trick you?

She squealed on the inside. "Um... Could I have a piece of pater and a quill?" she asked him.

Metal nodded and opened his saddlebag, taking out a piece of paper, a quill, and a bottle of ink

Star grabbed the paper and wrote the words "I will." on it. She handed it back to Metal, a blush on her face.

Metal looked at the note ... he smiled with a blush on his face and gave Star a big hug

She smiled as he hugged her. She hugged him back, giggling. "Wow."

"Wanna go inside for a cup of tea and maybe a little talk?"Metal asked while placing his hoof around her

"A little talk sounds nice." she told him as they went inside.
