Dove: sighs
 
Star: Dove? Can I come in?
 
Dove: Mon canari? I Sure.
 
Star: steps in Dove’s room and sits by her bed
 
Dove: What are you doing here?
 
Star: Just stopped by to tell you happy birthday.
 
Dove: Oh. Merci.
 
Star: Everypony else wanted to come, but I figured you wouldn’t want to feel crowded.
 
Dove: nods I just don’t want to hurt anypony….. touches the scar on Star’s cheek Dsole (sorry)….
 
Star: chuckles It’s okay. I’ve kinda always wanted a cool scar anyways.
 
Dove: It should not have been from me though…
 
Star: Don’t feel bad. It was an accident.
 
Dove: frowns and lowers head
 
Star: ……..So, how’s the whole magic thing going? Any luck?
 
Dove: shakes head
 
Star: Don’t worry. Our parents will figure something out. They always do.
 
Dove: …………………………..
 
Star: You look really tired, Dove. I heard you haven’t been sleeping well.
 
Dove: I try to, but I have nightmares. And then my magic goes out of control….. Even more so than it does when I’m awake. When I’m up, I’m at least able to fight it.
 
Star: sniffs
 
Dove: looks up at Star Mon canari, are are you crying?
 
Star: I Yeah! I just hate seeing you hurt so much….. or any of my friends for that matter.
 
Dove: I-I’m sorry! You should go so you don’t have to see me like this
 
Star: I’d hate it even more knowing that you’re hurting and I’m not there to do anything about it.
 
Dove: But…. there’s nothing you can do.
 
Star: Dove, don’t say that. And I know I can’t do anything about this whole situation but… I can at least try to cheer you up.
 
Dove: ………..
 
Star: Please smile pulls at Dove’s cheeks with her hooves I’m supposed to be the downer, not you chuckles
 
Dove: Sorry………..
 
Star: …………………… Hey! Look I got you something! runs out of Dove’s room and comes back with a present
 
Dove: Oh, Starburst, you didn’t have to.
 
Star: Yeah I did. Here you go.
 
Dove: Merci. Should I open it now?
 
Star: Sure
 
Dove: opens the gift and her face lights up
 
Star: smiles Do you like it?
 
Dove: M-mon canari! C’est beau!
 
Star: Put it on!
 
Dove: puts on her gift It’s so soft! Are…. are these?
 
Star: Yup! Mine and Prism’s feathers. It’s kinda a gift from all of us in Ponyville. Prism and I were the only ones with feathers but everypony else helped make it with some assistance from Claire and T’s mom.
 
Dove: Oh, this is wonderful giggles and hugs Star It even smells like you two
 
Star: Y-yeah. It doubles as a blanket so we thought that since it kinda smells like us and is a part of us, it might give you comfort or something like that. Y’know, kinda show you that we’re always here for you.
 
Dove: Oh Starburst….. Vous allez me faire pleurer (you’re going to make me cry)!
 
Star: I know you’re kinda against magic and all but we were able to get Princess Nidra to cast a light sleeping spell on it and Princess Luna also did a spell thing to maybe help with your nightmares.
 
Dove: Wow, that sounds amazing
 
Star: So you’re okay with that? I-if not, I can ask them to remove the spells…
 
Dove: shakes head I realize now that magic is not all that bad. For all these years I mistook my fear of myself and my… corrupted magic for all unicorn magic. So any kind of magic that can help me now would be wonderful.
 
Star: smiles Okay, t-that’s good. That’s great!
 
Dove: Thank you again, mon canari. And tell everypony else thank you for me and that I really love this gift. It means the world to me.
 
Star: I will. Well………………… I guess I’ll let you get some rest now. Happy Birthday. heads for the door
 
Dove: …………… w-wait! Star……….
 
Star: Hm?
 
Dove: steps out of her bed Can I go back to Ponyville with you?
 
Star: Oh, um sure? What for?
 
Dove: Just to get out and do something. I haven’t left home for a long time now, and I’d also like to tell everypony thank you for the gift. I mean if it’s okay with you….
 
Star: Yeah! I’m sure they’d all love to see you. They’ve been really worried.
 
Dove: Can I bring this too? lifts up her gift J-just in case?
 
Star: nods and smiles That’s what it’s for.
 
Dove: grabs her own cape and places her gift back in its box
 
Star: Es-tu prte (are you ready)?
 
Dove: Prte!
 

 
Happy Dove!
