Do I share my mind? Do I dare to teach?

twilightponyI called another Friendship Council meeting today. Yesterday's trip to Starlight Glimmer's old town got me thinking. In the friendship department, Starlight Glimmer is a blank slate. Helping her make new friends could be great for my research! She could be my student, just as I was Princess Celestia's student for all those years! What's more, reports from her on friendship should be better than what I'd get through my other idea, publishing a royal request.
That idea went well in council. Nopony objected, everypony thought it was a good idea. I got the impression that they all look relieved somehow. Rainbow Dash said it's good that I'd have something to do, then she quickly added that I should go easy on the flash cards and lectures, not to scare Starlight Glimmer off. Before I could get her to tell me what was wrong with my flash cards, Pinkie chimed in that Starlight should totally live here, in the castle. Then everypony was talking at once about what a great idea that was. So that was that.
Starlight Glimmer accepted the invitation and now I have a student and lessons to plan! That's great, and nerve wracking. Lecturing is one thing, nurturing a pupil is another. I have some books on teaching to read.
After council, we had tea on the big balcony overlooking Ponyville. It's a lovely spring day, and us being outside means less shed hair indoors for Spike to clean up. Rarity took the opportunity to harvest that loose winter fluff off of all of us for her felting project. She'd brought a bunch of bags with just that in mind. So we had a brushing party, Starlight Glimmer included. It's a fun way to strengthen friendships.
It's hours later and already I'm leaving lilac colored hair everywhere I stop. My growing blood feathers itch!
