//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Nothing More, Right? // by FireworksPOP //------------------------------// February ninth, a cool day, filled with joy, for most people. Flash Sentry walked down the streets of Cantorlot city, and every were he looked, couples were all smiling and happy, giving gifts and sharing kisses, here, in this city, it was the season of love, but that was always there. It was in the air, more so than ever, and it just made him want to tell Sunset how he felt more, but just forced all his feelings away. Flash looked to the left, huge mistake. On the other side of the street was a park, and he caught sight of Sunset and her brother playing with the cake twins. She must be babysitting for Mrs. Cake. And, somehow, he found himself thinking about how loyal, honest, and sweet she was. She had come so far since the fall formal, from raging she-demon bitch, (Applejack’s words, not his), to a sweet, kind, and passionate girl. Flash turned away to avoid being seen and walked away. He didn’t pay attention to where he was going. SMACK! Please don’t be Sunset, please don’t be Sunset. He opened his eyes only to see himself staring back at him, only, it wasn’t him. This Flash was a pony. He looked down at himself, he was as well. His eyes widened. I must have walked strait through the portal! “Impostor!” Pony Flash growled, and his wings shot out and he attacked his look alike. “Hey Flash, what’s going...OH HOLY CRAB APPLES!” A yellow colored dragon with dark spots ran over to them fallowed by Spike and a blue dragon of all different shades. He gasped. “DON’T TELL SUNSET I SWORE!” Ray backed away from the two Flash’s and hid behind a bookshelf. Spike grabbed pony Flash’s wing and pulled him away from his double. Spike let go and pony Flash crossed his hooves and scowled. Ember tilted her head. “Did I miss something? And also, WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED!?!” Spike went and tugged Ray out from behind the book shelf. “Calm down, and dude, that’s not a swear!” “But Sunset told me I shouldn’t say it!” “That’s for when Applejack’s around, her family considers it as one.” “Okay, hey, Is that the guy in the picture I found under Sunset’s bed?” He pointed to CHS Flash. “What?” He stared at what used to be a tiny gecko. “A few months ago Sunset went to school so I went under her bed to find my quarter than I dropped the day before, then I found this framed picture of two kids that look like Sunset and you, only you were human and looked two years younger, and Sunset was, like, three inches shorter than you.” She still has that? That picture of the day we met? Equestrian Flash looked at him. “How the heck did you not say anything when you met me?” “You’re from here, you couldn’t be the one in the photo.” “Right...” CHS Flash got up. “Ray, can we talk, alone?” “Sure, whatever.” Ray led him to the balcony and gave Flash a quick flying lesson before they took of into the clouds. “So what did you wan’t to talk to me about?” “Well, first off, me and Sunset used to date.” “...and?” “And I broke up with her and she ran off crying.” “and know?” “I still like her, a lot! I keep on telling my self were just friends but I really want to be more than that and I’m afraid if I tell her I’ll ruin what we already have!” “She still likes you.” “She... does?” “Oh Mr. Captain Obvious!” “I get it, but how am I supposed to tell her, and there’s the dance coming up and I want to ask her to it.” “For starter’s, It’s the ninth, leaving you five days.” “Five?” “Five, and I suggest telling her before she get’s asked.” “Before? What do you mean?” “I hide on the top of her head when we go into a store or to her work at that sushi place, which is weird because she’s vegetarian, anyway, there’s these people that order from there just to get a chance to ask her out, she says no every time, but you never know.” “Sunset is really pretty, her eyes, her amber skin, her bright crimson hair...” Ray rolled his eyes. “Did you mean to say that out loud?” “No, I definitely didn’t.” “Second, you know about Blueberry, right?” “Yes.” “And you think it’s cute?” Flash slowly nodded his head. “Yeah.” Ray laughed. “Okay, just checking, so you really do love her huh?” “Yes, I always did, I was a heartless bitch.” “I won’t argue with that, but you can’t just go up to her and ask her to that dance, I’d think it would just scare her off.” “Okay, what should I do?” “Sunset likes music, you could write her a song.” “What would I even call it?” “Bittersweet.” Ray smirked. “I can’t just-” “You like her don’t you?” “Yes.” “Then do it.” “But I-” “Quit fighting me about it, you write her the song, then sing it to her, what’s so hard about that? She writes songs in practically ten minuets.” “She’s the only one in the whole school that can do that.” “Oh...well give it your best shot, I’v been here for less than three days and I have a dragon friend.” “That’ll be one hell of a long distance relationship.” “Sunset already said I can visit whenever I want and said she could come whenever she want’s, and I already told Amethyst what I really am and were I came from, she don't care.” “That’s easy for you.” “Should be easy for you to, your a nice guy, I can see why she likes you.” Flash sighed, “Okay, mind helping me with the lyrics?” “Sure, sounds good, but I need to get to the dragon lands at four.” “Let me guess, Amethyst?” Ray smiled and blushed. “Yeah.” “Well we should get back so I can get my guitar.” I’m getting advice about my crush from her dragon turned gecko, wow I really do love her, maybe we can be more than friends...
