Twilight needs a date to the Gala after blurting out to a noble that she already had one. The captain of her personal guard, Flash Sentry, volunteers. Things get sappy yet entertaining from there.
Flash Sentry: hero, heart breaker ... and self-admitted coward. For the first time, he details his own undeserved rise to heroism (as well as the trouble such a reputation brings him) in his own words.
Sunset Shimmer’s return to Equestria goes somewhat worse than she expected as she is chased by the Royal Guard and winds up injured in the Everfree Forest. Fortunately she recognizes the guard. Unfortunately it’s Flash Sentry.
After 5 years of dating, the moment has come for Flash to propose to the love of his life. But what kind of story would it be if there wasn't any conflict :) Sequel to 'How to Date a Princess'
Flash Sentry has feelings for the new Princess Twilight Sparkle, but has to love her from afar. Nopony can ever know of his love for her, for Royal Guards are not allowed to love one they protect. If caught, Flash's reputation will crumble.
Don't you hate it when you're trying to get ready for a date with your marefriend who also happens to be a princess only to be kidnapped by a bunch of idiotic ponies wanting to kidnap said marefriend/princess? Flash Sentry does...
