And you'll probably learn a lot more from reading through the whole gallery:

"Mother?" Princess Flurry Heart inquires, turning to look at the Queen. Sitting there, next to the warmth of the fireplace, she is like a waterfall, her mane flowing gently, light cascading off of her long hair. From where she stands Heart can see that her mother is peering into an orb, its contents foggy."Forgive me," Cadence starts. "I was just thinking aloud."Flurry Heart sits down to the left of Cadence, gazing at both her and the orb curiously."What was it you were looking at?" She would gesture at the orb. The question seems to please Cadence, and she answers casually."A pining youth and his hopefully-beloved."Flurry Heart is quick to frown, raising a brow just as quickly."Mother please don't stalk my subjects."Cadence throws her head back in laughter, only stopping when she notices Flurry Heart isn't laughing with her."I'm notthem, Flurry. I'm watching from afar." The Queen ponders just for a moment. "them."Flurry Heart scrunches her face, still not believing in her Mother's words."Can't you twirl your horn and they'll just fall in love?""Flurry, you know I only do that when the feelings are mutual.""You said the other one was his beloved.""No,The younger alicorn huffs, lowering her offensiveness. She stills feels inquisitive, a small tug of curiosity telling to her to at least learn a little more about the possible couple her mother was watching over."Are you sure he's in love?

"He is the quiet, unnoticed one," Cadence's horn shines bright, and the clouds in the orb part to reveal a lanky colt, tall but shorter than an average mare, he had a beige coat and red mane. A unicorn. If she squinted, she could see the boy's human counterpart. His hair reached his shoulders, tied into a ponytail. Cadence continues."and he is the loud and popular one." The insides of the orb shift again, now focusing on a pegasus, taller than the previous colt, with a golden mane and a chocolate-orange coat, darker than the unicorn's. Peering closer, Flurry sees the reflection of his human form. His hair is still golden, but is dark and short at the sides.Princess Flurry Heart smirks."That seems too good to be true. The shy one falls for the golden-boy?""The cheese doesn't stop there, my dear. At first, he resented the golden one, until he realised the resentment was because hehim."Cadence's aura is ignited again, and the orb cycles through various scenes involving the two."Since then, he has..."Held his hand, been carried by him, somehow managed to make huggingbetween the two, dyed his hair with him,By the time Cadence is done listing off most of the romantic tropes, Flurry Heart has her head tucked under her hooves, finding the cheesiness of it all unbearable, andwas an alicorn of love. Cadence pats her on the back, giggling."I hope he gets the courage to tell him." Flurry mumbles against the floor."I do too."---Did you know that Cadence is my second favourite Princess? It's true, I have a soft spot for the pretty pink princess. Maybe it's because she's basically perfect, like a smaller, compact Celestia, with pretty wings to fly to the castle with.
