Twilight is in love with Flash Sentry! And who could blame her? After all, he's smart, funny, considerate and he's an up-and-coming royal guard. There's just one problem... he barely even knows her.

This is so sad and so amazing at the same time :pinkiehappy:

That was the bestest story i read in my whole life...right now:pinkiegasp:

"If this is what I sound like around Rarity, I'm sorry and you've made your point."
This line. This line. If this was the only line in the story I would still favorite it.

"If this is what I sound like around Rarity, I'm sorry and you've made your point."

And Tobacconist got touched by it exactly the same way i did lol. Nice job on a cute story.

Twilight snorted and crossed her arms

I think you should change that to hooves because for a second I thought she turned into a human again. Great story dude! You deserve way more than 6 followers. I'm going to promote your stuff if you'd like. Also, good luck on One-Shotober!:pinkiehappy:

Thanks! Also yeah I'd appreciate a little promotion. :raritystarry:

Fixed all instances of horse front limbs being referred to as arms. :unsuresweetie:

Somehow, I can't quite see her not realizing that she'll have to start over. I can see her assuming that she can rush things way too much.

From a storytelling perspective 'Twilight pushes too hard and breaks things because she's new to romance and not thinking rationally' has more of an emotional impact than 'Twilight and Flash bond slowly while she carefully doesn't mention the mirror universe Flash in any way'.

Also this was a one-shot I wrote for a 31 one-shot event thing and there's no way I could meaningfully convey the second story in a day's worth of writing.

Yes, and 'Twilight rushes way too much' has more credence-maintenance than 'Twilight thinks she can pretty much pick up where she left off without even a nod to the notion that he lacks her history'.

You are pretty much correct. That'd be a different story with a different moral though, and I basically started from the moral and worked backwards.

Maybe someday I'll do an alternate take on this, flesh out the ending (i'm not fully satisfied with the ending myself), make it more believable and less rushed, but it's not happening this month.

In your defense, this is the same pony as in Lesson Zero and It's About Time.
:twilightsheepish:

Your brother and I were just friends for years before we decided to try for something more. You're still young, and you're a princess; don't feel like you have to rush things.

Words of wisdom from the Princess of Love herself. :twilightsmile:

I can just imagine nearby royal guards glaring and shaking their heads at him...

I hope you don't mind, but I loved this story so much I have adapted it into an audio reading on YouTube:

I do love that line of Spike's everyone's pointed out. I'm more impressed with the message of this. :D Though I do have to ask why Cadence complimented her pajamas... Like, why was that important?

"Twilight, how can you say you love me?" He snorted. "You don't even know me. One afternoon together isn't enough time for that. I mean, you're a nice mare. I'd probably think you were cool even if you weren't a princess, just..." He lifted a hoof to his forehead, his eyes screwed shut in frustration. "I'm not looking for a marefriend, okay?"

There was no response. Opening his eyes, Flash saw Twilight was already gone. "...This won't end well."

Shining Armour: You broke my sisters heart? The judgement is death.
