Ponies don’t kiss, they rub noses. Unless its a wedding or parent kissing their child or… Rarity kissing Spike.

Dear Princess Cadance,
 
Today I learned that it’s perfectly okay to be friends with boys. They might be a little different from us girls, but they’re still ponies, and still deserve respect. Just because a pony has a Y chromosome doesn’t make them a bad person, and it doesn’t mean you can’t spend time with them like you would other girls. Also, “cooties” aren’t real.

Dear Glimglim,
 
I’m really happy that you two are becoming such good frieyou two should kiss.
 
Soon.
 
Really soon.
 
Yours truly,  
Cady

Bf/gf and romance is part of life and, given that most of the cast in MLP are adults, NOT showing romance would be doing them a disservice.
 
I fully agree that we need a non-platonic, non-romantic friendship between male and female in the show to demonstrate that boy / girl interactions don’t have to fall into a certain category, but at this point I’ll take any boy/girl interaction because I trust writers are smart enough to understand that 7-10 yrs old are just young, not stupid. Besides, they have parents to guide them.

Big Mac and Sugar Belle are anything but platonic friends. The show seems to make kids think that girls can only be friends with other girls and boys are just for romance or marriage. That’s not a very good message for the shows target demograph.

and then Big Mac x Sugar Belle happened. The show is growing up, so we can realistically expect a proper Starlight x Sunburst moments–not as a ship, but just interacting like normal friends.
 
(but come one, why stay friends? both Starlight and Sunburst are clearly attracted to each other, and they’re both quite the catch, too!)

I was talking about this in one of the forum threads. The reason why we won’t see Starlight and Sunburst hang out together on screen doing friendship things is because Sunburst is a boy pony.
 
The show shys away when showing friendships between boy ponies and girl ponies. If they’re both girl ponies then its okay. If its a boy dragon, a boy yak, a boy donkey or Discord, then its okay to be friends with girl ponies. But if its a boy pony, its almost taboo to be friends with a girl pony.
 
They can marry girl ponies. They can make babies with girl ponies but they can’t be friends with them. This why I loved S6 the most. We got RD making friends with Quibble. We got Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail. And of course we got Starlight and Sunburst. But outside of S6, opposite gender pony friends hardly exist.

It’d be great to see them hang out but that takes up precious screentime–and on a 22 min runtime that’s something they just can’t afford. On the flipside, Sunburst has become the perfect excuse for Starlight to be absent from an episode or a story.  
Actually the best thing to do would be to squeeze the into the background, like most of the LyraBon scenes.

I think it opens a lot of potential! From what I understand of story pitches, it’s entirely possible that they want to do more stories, but couldn’t think of a good way to tell the story they wanted.
 
I do hope we eventually see the show expand on their friendship in the future!

Don't test my slam jam
For all the deal that was made out of Starlight losing her friend to a cutie mark and then finally getting him back in the S6 premiere… you’d think they’d have more scenes together! :P
