Shining Armour awoke in a darkened room, confused and trying to remember what had happened. Then he remembered that he’d passed out in Flash Sentry’s hooves. Shining Armour smiled at the thought. Then, he realised, unknown to him before, that somepony was holding his right hoof. Straining his eyes to see in the dark, he made out a recognisable shadow. The shadow belonged to none other than Flash Sentry. Flash stepped out of the shadows.

“Flash? What happened?”

Shining Armour asked.

“You passed out in my hooves sir, so I thought I’d bring you back to my house.”

Flash Sentry responded.

“That’s very kind of you, but I- “

Shining Armour stopped mid-sentence as he realised that Flash was gently holding his hoof. Shining flinched upon contact but relaxed just as quickly.

“But then again, maybe it would be best if I stayed here a bit longer. I’ve had a very tiring day. What’s the time?”

Flash looked at his watch.

“It’s 4:30 pm, sir”

“How long was I out for?”

“3 hours sir.”

“That long? Well I guess I’ll stay here tonight then.”

Flash beamed on the inside.

“Of course, sir. I’ll make sure you’re not disturbed while you rest.” 

“Thank you Flash.” Shining Armour smiled, then yawned. Flash Sentry let a small smile escape him. He trotted to the door of the room. As he was about to close the door, Shining Armour called to him.

“Oh, Flash?”

“Yes Shining?”

“Could I ask you to do something for me?”

“Of course, captain. What is it?”

Shining Armour hesitated before responding.

“Could you take a trip to Sweet Apple Acres and talk to Big Mac for me?”

“Of course. Rest now,”

Flash Sentry replied.

Shining Armour nodded sleepily. He closed his eyes. Flash Sentry shut the door, leaving his captain to rest in peace.
