	Twilight started to walk away, Flash right behind her. "They thought I was dating him?" she said under her breath, not meant for Flash's ears. "They thought I was dating him? And I was on a date?" Flash just trotted a little slower. But then he thought, What is so bad about dating me? I mean, does my breath stink? He put a hoof up to his muscle, and breathed. No, Flash thought, It's not my breath.

"Ok. Do you know where we are, Flash?" Twilight asked, with out looking at him.

"Well. Umm. That... is an... intresting  question. You know, I have no--"

"All you had to say was no." Now she turned to look at Flash. He never noticed how her hair always had a small part in it, just to the left of her horn.  He looked at her tail, and it had the same part. "Um, Flash? Do you know where we are? I mean, don't you live in the crystal empire?"

"I live in the castle. I also work there, I don't really get out much."

"Oh." Twilight said. I thought the guards at least at a home, really. I guess they can make their homes pretty, I guess. Huh. "Do you have a apartment or something in the castle?"

"Well, the guards live under the castle, so it's not as 'crystal-y' as the actual castle, but all of the guards are split up into 4 different wings..."

"Ha, are you split up into different horns too?" Twilight laughed. Flash looked at her. He started to chuckle, as well. Then they started to laugh so hard, they couldn't stop. After about 5 minuets of laughing, they can to an abrupt stop. They came to a dead-end. Twilight said, "Well, I guess we should turn around."

"I think that would be good. I guess we could ask somepony "

"Are you crazy?!?! You saw how these ponies clung to my every word last time. I am not doing that again."

"Ok, well I guess we should just turn back."

"Well you should, but you're not going to." Belladonna was right in front of them. Instantly, Flash jumped in front of Twilight, remembering his duty. He pulled out a small javelin. 

"Oh, so now a princess comes with a guard! How cute! I wish I had my own guard like yours. Oh wait, I do." 

Twilight looked behind herself. There were at least 20 soldiers, but the thing that was really surprising, was that all of them were alicorns. With her back still turned she whispered to Flash, "Stay still, don't move a muscle. I don't want them pouncing." Then she said even quieter, "I'll tell you when to fly. Right now, just slowly turn around and look at the soldiers. I'll turn towards Belladonna." Flash turned, but he didn't believe his eyes. He assumed that the warriors were mixed, as in Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn. But he was not expecting alicorns. Especially because in his world, there were only 5. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Princess Flurry Heart, and Twilight. Well, Princess Twilight. He thought.

"What do you want, Belladonna?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, she's a direct one. Their always fun."

"What do you want, Belladonna?"

"I am just going to assist you in finding a place for you and your date to go and eat."

"1) I am not dating any pony. 2) I am not dating any pony. 3) I am not dating any pony!" Now Twilight was annoyed. Why did all these ponies think she and Flash were dating?

"If you say so. But don't you want to eat?" 

"I guess," Twilight said. " But not anywhere you would suggest."

"Oh my!" Belladonna was being a bit sarcastic. "I will only let you go, if you go to this restaurant. And act like you two are dating."

"Wait, I thought you were evil." Flash said, still, his back was turned to Twilight and Belladonna.

"I am. I just need some amusement. So is it a deal?"

"What's the name of this restaurant?" Twilight asked.

"The Power of Love."
