//------------------------------// // Silver Lining // Story: Where you've got it // by Broneyofnoel //------------------------------// Twilight and Fluttershy walked down the corridors of the castle, left, right, dow, up, they finally made it to Celestia, she was sitting on a balcony, looking over her court. "Celestia." Twilight said quietly. "Huh, oh, Girls, are we ready?" Celestia asked, turning around. "Yes." Fluttershy said. "Alright, Twilight, are you ready?" Celestia asked, looking at Twilight. "Yes." Twilight said, nodding her head. "Okay, the two of you, stand over there." Celestia said, pointing to an empty area of the room. Twilight and Fluttershy walked over to the empty section of the room. Celestia followed, and she pointed her horn at them. "We're coming back with Silver Lining." Twilight said. "Alright." Celestia said, her horn glowing now. Celestia's horn shot out a small green beam, that beam split in two and struck Twilight and Fluttershy in their hearts. The two fell, collapsing onto each other. Again, the world felt as if it were falling, but they were not moving. "Alright, the world is starting to form." Fluttershy said, looking around. "Okay, Silver Lining is a Shadowbolt, or maybe a Wonderbolt, so we need to get into VIP." Twilight said. The world finally formed, Twilight and Fluttershy were in a bathroom stall, together. The two ran out of the bathroom, looking around, until they ran right into a familiar face, their own still blushing. "Well, you're back!" Damion said, a huge, physic defying smile. "Damion, we need..." Twilight started. "Two VIP tickets?" Damion held out the two tickets. "Yes." Twilight said sheepishly, taking the tickets. "Girls, you are going to need some supplies." Damion said. "What will we need?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, the usual, explosives and a knife." Damion said. "Alright, Fluttershy, you get the knife, and I'll get the explosives."Twilight said. Fluttershy nodded and they parted the stadium, each heading to a separate side of town. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight walked slowly with her empty saddlebags, all four of them. She walked slowly behind 'Al's liquor' and knocked like this. Knock---knock knock knock=knock kick . The sliding eye hole in the door slid open, and a large grey pony looked at Twilight. "Who are you?" the stallion asked. "I need some boom boom," Boom boom was code for explosives. "Who are you?" the stallion asked again. "Sparkle." Twilight said, and the door opened. "Sparkle!" some of the people there announced as she walked in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very young Twilight followed her parents down the alleyway behind Al's liquor. Her father knocked on the door, and a smaller grey pony answered. "Tracker?" the grey pony asked. "Yes, this is my daughter, Sparkle." Tracker pointed to a dumpster behind him, a little purple filly popped up. "What do you need?" the pony asked. "A weapon," The door opened and her father went in. Twilight followed, looking around, a crew of criminals were in there, they all looked at her, and went on checking weapons and drinking some of Al's liquor.Her father was a well known criminal, from bank robberies to murders, he was in everything, and this was his second home. Her mother was his accomplice, so she knew no one in the place would mess with her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "How much do you need?" the older grey stallion asked. "Enough to bring down the stadium." Twilight said, everypony in the bar looked at her. "Metaphorically of course." Twilight said, a huge breath left the mouths of the people inside. "So, 100 pounds?" the stallion said. "Yeah, sounds right." Twilight answered. "So, how's it going, I mean, we're all dead aren't we?" the stallion asked. "Well, actually, I'm here from Celestia, I am her prized pupil, I'm still alive." Twilight said, everypony gasped. The stallion filed her bags with C4, and she was off, leaving 100 bits behind her. She headed to the stadium, wondering what kind of knife Fluttershy had gotten. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy walked a few blocks to a weapons shop, there were only two in Canterlot, and she walked in. "Well, hello pretty mare," the younger stallion said as she walked in. "Can I get a knife?" Fluttershy asked, ignoring his comment. "Are you sure, how about some pepper spray?" the stallion was getting on her nerves. "Yes, a knife." Fluttershy said, her voice a little strained. "Alright, what kind of knife?" the stallion asked. "A Wasp Co2-200," Fluttershy said, the stallion's mouth dropped. "Those are illegal, two hundred bits," the stallion said smiling. He got out the knife's case, and the knife was perfect. "Or..." Fluttershy slammed the stallion's forehead on the knife's blade, killing him, he fell backwards behind the counter. An older stallion walked out, and he brandished a revolver. "You're going to die, and I'm..." the stallion was cut off by Fluttershy's new knife in his neck. He too collapsed in a bloody mess to the floor. He was still alive when she pulled out the knife, adn she finished him off with a slam to the chest, which caused him to cough blood, and die. Fluttershy wiped off the knife, she put it back into its case, and walked out of the store. She walked down the street, heading for the stadium, wondering what Twilight got in the name of explosives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The two arrived at the stadium at around the same time, they headed backstage, and they found Damion. "Ahh, yes, are you ready?" Damion asked, looking from twilight to Fluttershy. "Yes," Twilight said, and Fluttershy nodded. The world around them disappeared, and they were left in a room, filled with ten guards, each one having a knife. "Twilight I have an idea, throw the explosives!" Fluttershy yelled. Twilight threw a brick of C4 at the guards, it had the detonation pin it, a guard hit it. BOOM Three guards were down, blown to pieces, and the two ponies were behind cover, the guards were approaching. The guards turned to their cover to see nothing but four saddlebags,all stuffed with something. A guard kicked one, and they all exploded, the six guards were incinerated, nothing but the ash remained from the explosion. "One more," Fluttershy made the knife enter the guards chest, she squeezed the handle, two hundred feet of compressed air entered his chest, dissolving his internal organs. The room disappeared,along with the dead guards, and they were back at the stadium, the VIP room reappeared around them, along with a silver maned pony. "Silver Lining!" Twilight called, attracting the attention of Silver Lining. "Hello?" Silver Lining looked around he shoulder and saw Twilight. "You're dead." Twilight said, stating the obvious. "I know." Silver Lining said, a tear coming to her eye. "We're here to bring you back!" Fluttershy said, annoyed that they were taking so long. "What?" Silver Lining ran over to them. "How?!" "Just tell Celestia to bring us back." twilight's horn glowed, and Silver Lining disappeared. "See you two around." Damion said, walking up to them. "See you around." Fluttershy said, she then disappeared. "Goodbye Damion." Twilight said, she then disappeared. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up, she felt like she had a massive hangover. She looked up, Fluttershy was laying on her, her forelegs hugging her. "Fluttershy? Are you awake?" Twilight asked quietly. Fluttershy opened her eyes slowly, and registered Twilight's face, then fell to sleep, along with Twilight. "Goodnight my angels." Celestia said, turning off the lights, leaving them by each other in the room.
