Spike gets to hug every mare!  

@SquipyCheetah  
Not inherently.

Is it bad that I ship this hardcore already?

@Xolcm  
No, No you’re not alone.
 
Spike and Starlight got along swimingly. They played off of eachother flawlessly and basically rekindled the “Smart Spike” of season 1 and early season 2 where he was a strong voice of reason, could be shifted off of a subject but would go back on it because he is attentive to his work, but was ALWAYS supportive of Starlight, especially her emotional frame of mind.
 
Starlight and Sunburst was like… “oh, I guess it’s okay to be friends now. I’ll write you some time.” I didn’t feel much of any dynamic there, not to mention their past is quite badly damaged and hinders much potential for development beyond what it is right now.

I really hope we get more of this in the season.

@Xolcm  
I thought the same thing.

Is it weird that I thought Starlight and Spike had more chemistry in this episode than Starlight and Sunburst?

Spike digs curly mane.

@Dragonpone  
Agreed, they make a really good duo!

I loved their interactions in this episode!

@Mr. Horrible  
ME TOO.

“Uh, okay, this is happening.”

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED. THIS IS ALL I WANTED.

Gosh darn it. I’m a sparity shipper but holy moly these two are adorable together.
