I hope this weekend goes well. Thought Twilight nervously as she brushed her mane and tail out. Today Twilight was meeting Flash's parents and Flash was meeting Twilight's parents. They had been going out for over a month and they both agreed it was time to meet each others parents no matter how it goes. KNOCK KNOCK. "I'll get it". Hollered Spike from down the stairs. "It's Flash."
"Coming" Said Twilight running down the stairs.Flash smiled and gave Twilight a little kiss on the cheek.
"Sorry I'm early I just couldn't wait to see you." Flash said giving her a big smile.
"You say that every time Flash! Just once will you give me time to get ready?" Twilight said teasing.
"I can't help it your just too adorable to stay away from." Twilight grinned and gave him a big kiss.
"Why are you acting so sweet today?"
"I want you in a good mood when you meet my parents, I know their going to love you."
"Okay just give me a sec and we can go."
"It's okay take all the time you need I'm early remember." Twilight continued to run about the house fixing her mane, finding earrings, and putting on perfume. When she was finally ready they set off to the train station to head to Canterlot were both their parents lived. Through all the chaos and worry the train ride proved to be relaxing. Flash and Twilight sat hoof in hoof, Twilight leaned on Flash with her head in the crook of his neck.
They arrived at Canterlot an hour early and decided to hit the shops before they headed to Flash's Parents house. As they were walking along the shop Twilight heard her name being called. She turned around to find Storm Brewer. A black and gold unicorn with a skull as his cutie mark. Twilight went in to full panic mode Storm Brewer was Twilights ex-coltfreind from the school of gifted unicorns, and they had a nasty break up, when Twilight found out he was cheating on her with another mare.
"Uh hi Storm Brewer, how have you been I haven't seen you in ages." Flash noticeably tensed at the sight of this unknown stallion.
"I've been good you know ever since you broke up with me!" He said in a drunken slur. Oh no he's drunk this is going to end badly.
Flash's face turned slightly angry and protected." Why don't you talk to my fillyfriend with a little more respect."
"Oh so your the only stallion she could find after she decided to break up with me." He laughed slightly. "Serves her right, she couldn't even snag a unicorn but had to settle for a wimpy little pegasus."
"Just leave him out of this Storm this is between you and me." Twilight said angrily.
"Why don't you just take me back baby I am twice the stallion this guy with ever be." As Storm Brewer said it he reached for Twilights arm. But Flash stepped in between.
"You keep you filthy hooves off of her you scoundrel and get lost or I will make you." Flash was so filled with rage his normally docile temper was flaring at the sight of another stallion touching his fillyfriend.
Storm noticeably backed off from this sudden show of aggression."You both aren't worth my time." He walked off with a slightly wounded pride.
"That was amazing Flash I don't think I have ever seen you that angry." Said Twilight enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry I had to get like that in front of you but that guy was being a major jerk, how could you have ever dated him?"
"He was nice and charming at first then I found out he cheated on me and I ended it. It wasn't that serious of a relationship." Explained Twilight.
"Well I hope we don't ever run into him again. We should probably start heading to my parent's house." They hailed a carriage and they were off.
As they were riding in the carriage Twilight said: "You get kinda hot when your mad." Flash just laughed and they continued to ride to Flash's old home. When they got there they thanked and paid the driver and the Pony's pulling it and rung the doorbell. While they were waiting Flash said "My parents can be a little strait forward, especially my mom."A mare with a green coat and blue mane the same color of Flash's opened the door.
"Flash my baby It is so good to see you!" Said Flashes mother as she pulled him into a bone crushing hug. "Oh where are my manors come in!"
"Hi mom good to see you too." Said flash as he rubbed his sore ribs. Twilight suppresed a giggle at Flash's mom's big reaction. "This is my fillyfriend Twilight Sparkle."
"It is so good to finally meet you, whenever Flash is over here he goes on and on about you." Flash's mom gushes. Flash blushed slightly and asked: "Where is dad?"
"Right here son." Said a proud voice from the door way.
"Dad it is so good to see you, this is my fillyfriend Twilight."
"Nice to meet you Twilight. My son says that you are Princess Celestia's personal student. But I guess you stopped after becoming a princess.
"I still study magic but it is true I am not Princess Celestia's prized pupil."Said Twilight respectfully.
"Well we just got lunch made, why don't you sit on the sofa while I serve you up." Twilight and Flash sat on one sofa while his parents sat on the other. Lunch was a delicious wedge salad with herb dressing.
"This is Delicious Mrs. Sentry." Said Twilight with a mouth full of food.
Flash's mom beamed. "So tell us a little more about yourself Twilight."
"Well what do you want to know."
"Hmm let's start with a random question. Are you a virgin?" Flash sprayed his water all over the place and Twilight started choking on her food.
"Mom I don't think that is appropriate." Flash said.
"No it's fine Flash I can take whatever they throw at me and answer truthfully. No Mrs. Sentry I am not a virgin, I have been with several stallions including you son." Flash was so uncomfortable that he was squirming in his seat.
Instead of looking shocked or disgusted Flash's mom looked at Twilight respectfully and just nodded. After that uncomfortable question the lunch wen't on more smoothly and by the end Twilight and Flash's parents were acting like they were long time friends. But they had to leave to make dinner on time at Twilights house. They hailed another carriage and they were off. "You handled that really well, my dad even pulled me aside and said 'She's a keeper'."
"I don't know what you were worrying about. your parents are hilarious. I'm surprised you didn't ask me to meet them sooner. It's my Parents I'm more concerned about."
"And why is that?" Asked Flash nervously.
"It just takes a lot to impress them. With Shinning captain of the royal guard and me the a princess, they really expect a great pony for each of us."
"I am so screwed Twilight! Their going to think I am a total looser! The only thing I am is a measly solder for your brother there going to frowned upon me like I'm a..." Flash's sentence was cut off by Twilights lips pressing against his own.
"You're going to do fine, they are going to love you I am sure of it." Twilight reassured. Flash relaxed a little and awaited there arrival. Once they got there they repeated the process with the carriage and rung the door bell. This time a dark blue stallion with a navy blue mane opened the door.
"Twilight, we were anxiously awaiting your arrival."
"Hi dad" Said Twilight casually. They both walked inside and Twilight's dad said: "You must be Flash Sentry, my daughter's coltfriend."
"Yes sir, Mr. Sparkle sir." Flash said with a solute.
"Please call me Night Light." A white mare with a white and purple striped mane walked to the greeting area and introduced herself.
"Hi I'm Twilight's mom, Velvet." Flash shook her hoof respectively.
"Twily is that you in there?" A different shaded blue man popped around the corner.
"Shining I didn't know you were visiting too, where is Cadence?" Shinning now came fully into the room and gave twilight a big hug.
"She is with the princess right now, something about the uniforms for the guards in the crystal empire. Come sit down with me at the table, mom is making are favorite stew." Everyone was seated with Twilight and Flash on one side. Shining sitting across from Flash and The elder pony's at the head of the table. once everyone was settled they were served. "Hello Flash Sentry, how have you been."
Flash took a big gulp and looked at twilight.
"Good Captain sir, I have been working hard."
"Yeah I bet you have. I was wondering why I was seeing you so much at the train station and now I know why. You could have told me."
"I didn't tell you out of respect for your sister. She wished to tell her herself." Flash said with a respectful nod.
"Very well then, why didn't you tell me Twilight? That one of my own soldiers was dating you."
"I was going to tell you soon Shining I just didn't want Flash to be punished or harassed. Don't blame Flash, it was my fault."
"What kind of pony do you think I am Twilight? I wouldn't harass him just keep a close eye which I will do now. By the way Flash if you disrespect my sister in any way I will punish you beyond belief." Flash nodded quickly and looked down at his stew.
"Calm down Shining, Flash is a great stallion that wouldn't even think of hurting me in any way."
Twilight said defensively.
The rest of the dinner went along great Flash got along with everyone nicely even Shinning. And before they knew it they were on the train home. "Today wasn't so bad." Said Flash.
"No but it was tiring." Said Twilight yawning and leaning on Flash's chest.
"Yeah it was."
