//------------------------------// // 2- Intermission // Story: I Will Be Her Guard // by ThatWritingDragon //------------------------------// It has been three months since Twilight saw Sunset and she realized that she may be going through withdrawal. Withdrawal of what exactly? Well, Sunset of course! Being at the peak age of Puberty, it was expected for fillies to have crushes but to this extent? to where the amount of longing and restlessness was beginning to rise which also begins to ruin her routine! Twilight grumbled her way to school and as a harsh wind smacked against her face. Twilight can't help but notice that some of her old classmates were trotting their way to school as well. And by classmates, Twilight meant by old bullies who keeps on messing with her and Sunset. A glare came over Twilights face as she was stuck in memories of Sunset always coming to her rescue because Puberty sucks 'cause it doesn't know when to use the nutrients that she was been supplementing it and make her grow so she can fight back! The glare went away when Twilight realized that this time, Twilight will protect Sunset. Just one more year than Twilight can apply for Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and she will not ruin her chances by fighting back and getting a mark in her record. A faint glow came from Twilight's Cutiemark, Not noticed by anyone but the sun. With the Social Awareness of a brick, Twilight smacked face-first onto a white canvas filled with fur. The confusion was plastered all over Twilight's face but when the smell of Caramel and light ash hit Twilight's nose, she backpedalled and looked around for the smell. A flash of a Fire themed Mane was all Twilight needed before she galloped towards where her senses last located her Sunset. Not noticing the shocked look of a certain goddess of the Sun as she watched a literal flashback of her childhood. A smile appeared on Celestia's face as she remembered her Fillyhood with her sister and how it mirrored what happened right now, and with that thought, in mind, Celestia simply trotted after them. Twilight Sparkle... i wonder who you will take after, me or my sister? "Sunset!" Twilight's voice was filled with happiness and that shook Sunset herself, the pure unadulterated happiness just for seeing her was chilling and Sunset didn't know if she should be happy or scared. Sunset may love Twilight like that akin to a little sister but she's pretty sure that Twilight feels much more than simple platonic love. Sunset slowed down, exhaustion slamming onto her as she slowed onto a simple trot and her fear came when Twilight galloped near her, childish stamina simply letting her catch up to the tired solar unicorn. Letting out a strained smile, Sunset turned to the filly three years her junior. "Hey- Hey Twilight. How are ya?" Sunset hoped that the smile wasn't obviously forced but after realizing that this wasn't some old stalker, it was Twilight. Twilight who wouldn't hurt a soul and is just a bit clingy because she hasn't seen her very first friend in a while. Sunset let out a small sigh in relief, she was just being paranoid. After all, what is the worst a 12-Year-old Filly can do? Twilight was having a wonderful year, she was able to meet up with Sunset and is now about to finally apply for Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns but Twilight was feeling a bit down after all Sunset and her haven't been able to hang out because of their own conflicting schedules. Twilight doesn't mind though, as long as Sunset wasn't doing it deliberately then it isn't a problem besides, the moment Twilight is a guard they can hang out more. Twilight is sure that she would be having even better years ahead of her, as long as Sunset is with her then everything would be fine. Scratch that last paragraph Twilight is not going to have a good year, sure she may have passed and is now enrolled in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns but she didn't keep in mind that since she passed, her old classmates could have too and if they decided to bother Sunset again... a dark glare came over her features as her thoughts trailed out of their path and into the Unknown Sunset trotted next to Twilight, a smile on her face as she noticed that the small purple unicorn was focused on something. Twilight just seemed so cute and adorable when she's thinking because she tries to look so serious when she's deep in thought. If only Twilight was as deep in her aswell... Sunset's face burned red as she tried to know why such a thought began to turn up, Sure, Twilight has been gaining a small amount of muscle since her accident but what does that have to do with that- Stop! we are not sexualizing a Twelve-year-old! Especially Twilight! She doesn't even have the tool for that! 'she turned 13 a few months ago' her mind stated 'Don't even start! We're turning 16 and she's just a filly!' Sunset countered, an annoyed frown on her muzzle. 'Twilight doesn't act like one, she's rather mature besides the age difference isn't even that big' The mind argued back, just as stubborn as the original. 'Besides, magic can let you do anything and you know how far Twilight would go for you' Sunset could just feel her subconscious smirking at her as the fact began to sink in. Shut- Shut up! i would never use Twilight like that! Sunset shouted as she tried to ignore the thoughts invading her mind, she silently cursed her own dirty brain as she caught up to Twilight who was silently watching her, the feeling of those calculating, cold eyes as they assessed her. Seeing how useful or her worth and- Sunset slammed a hoof onto her face, wishing that the heat she felt wasn't hers and that it was just Princess Celestia being extra again. CR-ACk! "Sun- Sunset!" Twilight's voice was the last thing Sunset heard as she realized that she may have hit herself a bit too hard. At least the Voice stopped talking.
