Agreed. But I could still see Candy teasing Starburst like that, and Annie is already on record as the most fond of dirty jokes of any of them.

That’s ridiculous. All of these characters are straight. :P

@Silent_Witness  
Right, forgot to mention: that’s the commentary from the artist’s DeviantART page.

@Antonyourknee
 
If Starburst was male, that could be considered a compliment. An incredibly awkward compliment, but still a compliment.

@YetAnotherBrony  
No wonder Starburst is so indignant here .

Candy: Hey, Claire! Sorry I’m late,
 
Claire: Hello, Candy. It’s fine, dear.
 
Annie: Hi, Candy!
 
Candy: Oh, great! Annie, you’re here, too! You left T for today? Oh boy, how’s he holding up?
 
Annie: Oh, I think he’s fine. I only caught him trying to follow me here twice
 
Candy: Haha that’s so like him. Hey, so look who I brought!
 
Starburst: Hey guys
 
Annie: Starburst!
 
Claire: Well hello there, sweetheart. This is a surprise. I didn’t think you liked gossip and girl talk.
 
Starburst: I’m don’t. Didn’t really have a choice though. glares at Candy
 
Candy: What? You’re the only girl in our group who never joins in on our little talks. It’s good for ya!
 
Starburst: rolls eyes Whatever
 
Candy: Aaaaaanyways… So, Claire, how’re things with you and your Prince of Chaos?
 
Claire: Things are going great actually. Same as usual. Though he has been quite romantic as of late and a lot less annoying.
 
Annie: Oooooh, romantic how?
 
Claire: Oh, just like surprise visits to my shop, being really flirty, giving me more kisses, taking me out for nice dinners and long walks around town every so often. You know, those sorts of things. It’s really nice but I miss him joking around, too.
 
Candy: Why’s he being so romantic all of a sudden? gasps Do you think he’s gonna propose???!!!
 
Claire: Ah jeeze, I hope not. I’m not ready for marriage yet and he knows that. It’s probably just a phase or something. I’m never sure with him.
 
Annie: At least he’s being romantic…
 
Claire: Heh, I take it my little brother isn’t being very affectionate.
 
Annie: Well… he is, but I have to start it off by being affectionate first. And we don’t really do anything that romantic. We just kinda do the same thing everyday. I’m just not so sure if he still likes me that way or not. I know we haven’t been together for too long but… I dunno.
 
Claire: That’s Turquoise for you. Don’t worry about it, darling. T loves you very much. You’re all he ever talks about when he’s helping me out at work.
 
Annie: Really? Oh, that’s so great to hear!
 
Claire: As for the romance thing, I’m fairly sure he’d like to be romantic but he just doesn’t know how. I’ll talk about it with him though.
 
Annie: Thanks Claire! You’re the best!
 
Claire: No problem, Anthea. Anything for you. Now, Candy, it’s your turn. Have you’re eyes on anypony?
 
Candy: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….. Not really. I think the better pony to ask that would be Starburst.
 
Starburst: Wha?
 
Claire: Ah yes, Starburst! Any stallions in you’re life you’d like to share about?
 
Annie: Yeah Star! We gotta know!
 
Starburst: Uuhh no. I’m just focusing on the royal guard right now and all my training.
 
Annie: So what I’m hearing is that you’re crushing on a royal guard
 
Starburst: No! Where you get that from? I just said that I’m focusing on training right now. No stallions or distractions.
 
Candy: ‘Cept for Prism%%~~♪
 
Claire: Prism? Really?
 
Starburst: NO! Absolutely not!
 
Annie: Do you like him???
 
Starburst: No I don’t! Where are you getting this information from? I’m too young for a relationship anyways!
 
Candy: Oh please, you’re never too young for a crush! And don’t act like you don’t check him out when he’s around.
 
Starburst: I really don’t! What are you even talking about?
 
Candy: Whenever he smiles at you or looks at you, you just stare at him and get all red
 
Starburst: I do??? Does he notice???
 
silence
 
Starburst: Ahem. I mean…. well….. Claire! Help me out here! You’re the only only sensible one here!
 
Claire: Starburst, darling, you can admit he’s attractive. That doesn’t have to mean anything.
 
Candy: Yeah! A lot of mares think he’s handsome.
 
Starburst: ……………………………….Well…….. he does have….nice eyes I guess…. But he’s still really irritating
 
Claire: Pfft, I hear that.
 
Annie: Aw that’s so cute, Star. I like to think eyes are the most attractive features of a stallion.
 
Candy: Really? I never took you for an eye kind of girl….. for two reasons eheh. I always thought you were into their physique since you talk about T’s muscles all the time.
 
Annie: Well, being blind I’m left to just touch. And muscles do feel nice. But oh, I’d give anything to just see his eyes~
 
Candy: Naaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww Annie! That’s so sweeeeet! Oh I feel so bad now!
 
Annie: Haha don’t feel bad, Candy. Had it not been for my blindness, I might have not been such good friends with T.
 
Candy: That’s true. But hey, maybe someday you’ll be able to see him!
 
Annie: I hope so. Anyways, back to Starburst! So if not Prism, how about Del? You two seem to spend lot of time together at Sweet Apple Acres.
 
Starburst: I don’t like him like that either! We just work out with each other.
 
Claire: Oh but you two are so close! He’s a very sweet guy, too. Not to mention very in shape and driven. I could see you liking that in a stallion. Also, he’s quite patient with you even though you somehow manage to pass out on his farm everyday.
 
Starburst: Yes he’s nice and yes I appreciate all the things he does for me. Can we stop taking about this now? Or ask Candy about her love life? I’m not the only single one here!
 
Candy: Okay, what do you wanna ask me, Star?
 
Starburst: I-I dunno. Who do you like?
 
Candy: What is this? Starburst is participating in girl talk? Well then, I’ll tell you Starburst. Since you, apparently, don’t have any remote interest in the guys we mentioned, I’ll say maybe Prism or Del, too. Thing is with Prism, I think I’ve been friendzoned. We’re kinda like bros right now. And I’m okay with that.
 
Anthea: Really? You two seem so close. And he’s really open with you
 
Candy: Yeah, but I’m pretty sure that’s because I’m his friend. Besides, I think he still has a thing for Whirlwind. Or he’s taking interest in Star.
 
Starburst: Really? We’re turning this back to me now?
 
Claire: Well, it’s true sweetheart. The way he teases you all the time seems familiar
 
Starburst: ?
 
Claire: It’s the same way he used to tease me. It’s his way of showing affection I suppose. It’s hard to tell though. Especially since, from what I know, Whirlwind was one of his “bros” before dating. So that could very easily mean he’s interested in Candy.
 
Candy: Huh, I guess will never know.
 
Annie: What about Del?
 
Candy: Same thing. I think I’m so friendly to the point that that’s all I’ll be. A friend. I really don’t think I’m marefriend material **giggles**
 
Claire: Oh Candy, that’s not true. I think you’re better marefriend material than each and every one of of us. Perhaps even more, like…… wife material. Stallions your age are just a little too immature to realize good friends often times make the best marefriends. Think about it, Illusion and I have been friends since we were foals and we’re together. Same with Anthea and T.
 
Candy: Thanks Claire that means a lot!
 
Claire: **nods with a smile**
 
Candy: Yay! Good girl talk! That was really fun. Though we never got Star to admit who she likes
 
Starburst: **rolls eyes**
 
Annie: Next time, next time. You can’t hide it for long, Star.
 
Candy: We’ll get it out of you eventually
 
Starburst: You guys are insane and obsessive

“You know what they say about pegasi with big wings, right?”

Obviously their talking secretly about her abnormally large wings…right where she can hear it.

A commenter over on DA posted this one, and I think it is by far the best.
 

 
Candy: Guess what guys! Stars gonna take me out on a romantic date~
 
Star: W-what?! I am not! Don’t tell ponies that!
 
Annie: Aw, I’m jelly! Take me on a date too, sugar daddy!
 
Star: I’m not taking anyone on a date!!! And don’t call me that!
 
Candy: Fine~… I’ll take you on a romantic date instead.
 
Star: Shut up!
 

 
I think Candy and Annie teasing the most straight laced of their group like that, especially with Annie’s love of making others uncomfortable through humor, is absolutely perfect.

I always love these. <3

“You know girls, Starburst has her eyes on Prism Bolt, they go so well together…”  
“THAT’S AN OUTRAGEOUS LIE!”

Kilala don’t even includes dialogue, and I know already they’re talking about shipping and crushes
