//------------------------------// // 1- She Left // Story: I Will Be Her Guard // by ThatWritingDragon //------------------------------// "Gah!" kaboom! FwOOM- THUD! A small lithe purple coated unicorn hit the floor, her normally clean dark blue mane with pink and violet streaks messy and charred. Rolling to her side, pinkish iris' hazily stared up at the much taller Unicorn with such beautiful flame coloured hair. Even if moving hurts, The purple-coated filly just smiled as the sun-themed Unicorn trotted close with closed-off concern for the downed Unicorn. "Twi- Twilight- TWILIGHT!" Said Twilight couldn't help but what she would call a 'dreamy sigh' at hearing her name being called from Sunset but in reality, it looked like she was letting out her last breath causing the ponyta wannabe to panic even more as Twilight fainted from overusing her magic to teleport in front of Sunset to protect her from Sunset's own misfire. To say the panic doubled was an understatement. Especially when Sunset noticed the fire beginning to engulf the room. When Twilight woke up from her 'nap' she was confused about why she was in some random hospital room instead of her own. She was even more confuzzled when Sunset wasn't the first thing she saw, it wasn't unusual for Twilight to get slightly injured due to a spell gone wrong and when that happened Sunset would always watch over her to make sure she was okay. What Twilight actually saw first was her parents, while slightly disappointed that it wasn't Sunset. Twilight just looked around for said Unicorn, Maybe she was just in the bathroom? or maybe getting her food! Despite being a grumpy pants Sunset did care for Twilight and she will stand by that statement no matter what anypony says! Since Twilight was so busy looking for her Unicorn, she didn't notice the slightly saddened glance that her Parents, Twilight Velvet and Night Light shot at each other. With a sigh, Twilight Sr. spoke to Twilight Jr. "Twilight, sweetie. You know that we love you right?" The question caused Twilight Jr. to stop her search and think on why her Mom would ask such an unusual question. "Of course Mum! i love you too!" so with her Reply done and thinking that the conversation was over, Twiggle Wiggle continued her Search for her Pheonix. Now, If she were Sunset where would she go? Are they gonna play Hide and Seek again? Twilight pouted at that thought, Didn't Sunset hate Hide and Seek? Sunset was always annoyed because Twilight always found her when Twilight was the seeker and whenever she hid Twilight would always let Sunset catch her causing Sunset to stop playing the game and instead focus on books. Books are nice, Its even nicer when Sunset is with her. What she didn't notice (again-) was the even more concerned looks her parents shot at each other. Since they are nice parents, they would rather not drop the big announcement they had for their daughter when she was so preoccupied. So once again they sighed and the Dad, Night Light, stepped forward and spoke. "Twily, we have News! Do you want to hear it?" Night Light couldn't help but wince when all the reaction he got from his daughter was the swivel of her ear towards his direction, clearly, his Daughter was busy looking for her Best friend and he was sure that his news would devastate Twilight, So gathering all his courage. Night Light decided to just be forward and get this over with. "Twilight, Sunset will not be able to spend time with you anymore" and they waited, Night Light and his Wife held their breath and waited for the oncoming tantrum. ----- Time stilled from Twilight, her ears flicked upright trying to understand if what she heard was correct. "Twilight, Sunset will not be able to spend time with you anymore" She blinked as her brain tried to rationalize on why her parents would say something so unusual. Twilight faced her parents, a look of confusion clearly seen on her face. Twilight couldn't help but feel sceptical, is Sunset pranking her? Sunset knew that most of the time she doesn't get it, so why now? and dragging her parents onto it, Twilight couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed on how far Sunset would go just for a silly prank. So Twilight waited... waited... And waited... Sunset wanted to see her reaction to them not being able to hang out anymore, right? so where is the laughter? the abrupt flash of the camera? even the quick jumpscare hug Sunset gives when she notices that she had gone too far with her pranks. Twilight couldn't help the feeling of dread trailing up her spinal cord. "Wh- What do you mean i cannot meet with Sunset?" Twilight waited once more for them to answer, the sadness in her parents' eyes solidifying her theory on what might have happened. "It wasn't Sunset's fault! That- That weird Boom- probably- probably spooked her or something- ohmygosh- issheokaY!? didinotpushherawayhardenough??- butitriedsohardtodoitandisawthemagiccomingforherand- and- wewerejustplayingaroundwithsomenormallightspells, thentheboomhappenedand- IS SUNSET OKAY!?" As Twilight continue to ramble on about how it wasn't Sunset's fault and that Twilight should've made the room spell safe or something along the lines, so Twilight Sr. just gently bopped her Daughter on the nose causing Twilight Jr. to let out a cute soft sneeze completely ruining Twilight's rambling. "Twilight, Sweetie. Sunset will not be able to hang around much is because...-" The Hopeful look of Twilight Jr's face nearly caused her to squee in adorbs but she had to be serious "-Because Princess Celestia will be training her as her Only Personal Student and because of that, Sunset will not be able to hang around more" and once again the parents braced themselves for their daughter's reaction. Twilight's Mind crashed down as she attempted to process what is going on. Princess Celestia will be training her as her Personal Student Well, that doesn't sound so bad. Twilight will just have to study so hard that Princess Celestia will make Twilight a student as well, then they can hang out again. Wait, something seems off to that statement. Brain! rewind, please! Princess Celestia will be training her as her Only Personal Student Only? that means one right? but... they were supposed to go to Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, together. They couldn't be together if she was Princess Celestia's Only Student. Twilight scrunched her muzzle, deep in thought on how they can work this relationship out. Twilight's eyes got caught on the group of Guards on patrol out the window, a grin appeared on Twilight's muzzle as a bunch of ideas popped up on her head. If Twilight remembered correctly, Princess Celestia always had guards to protect her. So if being the Princess Celestia's Only Personal Student means that they should also have guards, So Twilight can just be a Guard of Sunset's! It'll be easy especially since her B.B.B.F.F is part of the Guard. With that thought in mind, Twilight snuggled up in her blankets and decided to rest so she can heal faster because if she heals faster, she can sign up to the guard earlier thus letting Twilight and Sunset meet again! With a smile on her face Twilight drifted off to dreamland, not noticing her new Cutie Mark as she focused on the Dreams filled with Knight Twilight and Princess Sunset as they lived happily ever after. ... ... ... If only it was that easy.
