//------------------------------// // Love Through Our Faults. // Story: A Sparkle and Her Flame // by Flame Dash //------------------------------// My ears folded back to my head as Sparky left. Starlight and Trixie looking at me in shock of what just happened. "So...You and Sparkle are dating!" Trixie yelled, Starlight floated a towel over her face to shut her up. "Trixie..." She warned, before looking at me. "Scorch... Are you okay...?" I was still looking down when she asked, I couldn't figure out what I was feeling right now. Hurt....Anger at myself for not telling Sparky was one thing. I closed my eyes and shook my head. "I'm fine. Just leave me alone!" I spat, it came out harshly and Starlight stepped back. "I-I'm sorry..I didn't mean to... Ugh!" I banged my head on the table which held the map infront of me. I felt a hoof on my back and looked up to see Starlight rubbing my back, a look of concern on her face, Trixie was behind her. I looked at the door that Sparky left through once again. "I'm an idiot." ------------ I walked to the room I stayed in for the time being, a purple aura surronded the doors as I slamed them shut. I sighed, plopping myself on the ground. We had been in Equestria for a little over 2 weeks now, I had been dating Scorch for almost a month. "I can't believe she didn't tell me!" I muttered, frustration building inside of me. My mind cut back to what I said to her in the map room, the way her eyes widened in shock as I yelled at her. "Agh!" I yelled again, using my magic to throw a pillow across the room. My gaze fell on the floor. "Did she not trust me?" I thought, before another question wormed it's way into my mind. "Did she not love me....?" ----------- "So you are dating!" Rainbow dash laughed, I blushed and groaned. "Yes we are alright? I didn't come here to get teased." I mutered annoyed, she stopped laughing but smirked. "Sorry, Sorry it's just this one right here is taking too long to get with our Twilight." She nudged my doppleganger who also blushed. "Now Rainbow, this ain't the time for jokes, alright sugarcube?" Aj said with a bit of a scolding manner. I played with the straw in my shake, not even bothering to drink any. "Now Darling," Rarity began "Why didn't you tell Sparkle in the first place?" I sighed. "I didn't want her to worry!" I pushed my shake away from me, any appetite I had was gone. "But I only made things worse..." I mumbled, Fluttershy rubbed my back. "Now Scorch, Ah know where your coming from but ya got to be honest with Sparkle, ya hear?" AppleJack told me, I just nodded. "Darling, We know you care about her alot," Rarity shot a glance at my counterpart who's face was red as she slid under the table. I smile a bit at that, how we both act the same when it comes to our Twilights. "But like AJ said dear, if you truly care for her you have to tell her the truth. That's what a relationship is. No secrets, especially not one's causing harm." She finished, I turned my gaze towards the ground. "I know I know...But now she hates me..." I bit my lip as my ears dropped once more. "Scorch... Sparkle could never hate you...." Fluttershy spoke up, her timid voice somehow loud and clear. "She's just upset." "Yeah, upset cause I'm a fool.." I sighed,Pinkie appeared infront of me. "Scorch turn that frown upside down!" I looked up at her, a blank stare etched on my face. "Now Pinkie..." AppleJack began "Pinkie, Deary I don't think a party could help Scorch now." Rarity joined in, Pinkie pouted before sitting back in her seat and drinking a milkshake. I chuckled a bit, shaking my head at the pink pony. "What am I going to do..." I muttered. The seven pony counterparts of my friends looked at each other before looking at me. "How about we do something to get your mind off of Sparkle for a moment, You know, cool down." Rainbow asked, My eyes glanced up. "Like what?" "You ready for a WonderBolt show?" ------- I burned the bandages keeping my wings together off. The glowing in my eyes and geode dying of when the fire disappeared. I stretched my wings before taking off intk the sky. The two pegasi following as we made our way to Cloudsdale. Our other friends had gone off to get Twilight and Sparky while we flew to the wonderbolt academy. Rainbow and Flame Dash landed as I landed behind the. "Glad you two made it for the show! I was starting to doubt you." Spitfire remarked, Soarin following her, her eyes landed on me. "Scorch...?" I rubbed the back of my head. "Yup, Thats me." ----------- "Yeah, I'm here visting and heard you guys were doing a show. Is it to late for me to have a spot?" I used to be a Wonderbolt when I lived back Equestia, but it was long ago. "Of course!" Spitfire nudged me. "It's always great to have an original back." I grinned. Spitfire took us to the locker room. I made my way to the corner, a locker shined as thought I never left. I smiled as I looked at the name engraved on it. 'Scorch.' Spitfire came behind me "Kept it in good shape for return Scorch." I thanked her as she walked out, pulling my suit and glasses on, I joined Flame and Rainbow outside . I could see out of the corner of my eye, a hot pink hot airballon float through the clouds, contation our pony friends. I caught glimpse of Sparky and glupped, walking away. ------------ Twilight and Starlight put enchantments on us one by one, allowing us unicorns and earth ponies to walk on the clouds which usually only pegasi and alicorns were allowed to do as I've been told. I adjusted my glasses as we walked towards were the Wonderbolts were preforming. Despite my earlier frustration I was excited, it wasn't everyday I could see magical flying pegasi perform now was it? My thoughts drifted off to Scorch,looking around I only found her doppleganger. My mood dropped a bit, I missed her I will admit, even if I was annoyed with her. I was madly and stupidly in love after all.
