//------------------------------// // Chapter Three: Storm Brewing // Story: Flurry Heart’s Terrible Twos // by Badguy400 //------------------------------// After having cleaned up the barf from the floor, King Sombra is still carrying Flurry Heart, but with a towel to lay her head down on his shoulder for just in case. Sombra is just sitting on the couch patting Flurry’s back as a means to calm her down, and hopefully quell any bad feelings that she’s gonna have when she feels sick. Meaning that Sombra’s making sure that Flurry Heart doesn’t puke again; hence why the towel on his shoulder. “You feeling okay?” Sombra asked while Flurry Heart is lying her head down on one of his shoulders. Flurry Heart nodded her head slowly, as it’s her own way of making sure she doesn’t barf again, and then starts sucking on her thumb. Seeing this, he chuckles slightly, and then says; “so… , since you’re sick and all… , what do you wanna do?” Flurry Heart responded with a yawn and starts rubbing one of her eyes; thankfully without her drool covered thumb getting in the way. Sombra smiles, and then says; “I guess we could nap. I was having a rough day too. Would you like that?” Flurry Heart nodded again, smiles, and starts to relax and close her eyes while falling asleep. Feeling Flurry Heart relaxing, Sombra smiles again, whispers; “goodnight little princess”, and then starts laying his head down on one of the couch’s armrests so he could fall asleep too. Cadence and Shining Armor are at home, passed out on the couch, and making sure that they’re not crushing each other while sharing the couch with each other for a nap. After a while Cadence starts to get up, and then asks; “I’m starting to miss Flurry Heart already… . Are you?” Shining Armor; too tired to really say anything, mumbles something in his sleep, and then begins to drift off back to sleep. Sighing; knowing that she’s just being silly for missing her daughter after a few hours have passed, and then says; “maybe you’re right… . It’s nothing… .” and then falls back asleep with her husband. Yet however though, she just couldn’t shake this one feeling that something bad is gonna happen to her daughter. She knows that it’s nothing, but she just couldn’t help it. Only time will tell if she’s correct… . Only time… , will tell… . Flurry Heart and Sombra are still asleep on the couch; unaware of what’s gonna happen next. Eventually they will… . “Rolling storms are currently heading in this direction.” the tv weatherman is pointing on the green screen weather chart before him. “So if you’re in this area, and have children, then good luck… . Cuz you’re gonna need it.” Knowing of the irony, and the fact that their senses about something wrong was correct, both Cadence and Shining Armor turned to look at each other, and said; “uh oh…” in unison. Heavy rain clouds hang over the home of Sombra, slowly rumbling as they’re approaching. Flurry Heart began to whimper, but eventually thought nothing of it and went back to sleep; thinking that it was Sombra’s stomach making that noise since she’s laying on it. Ohh how she couldn’t have been more wrong… . Five minutes have passed, and nothing yet. Until… Boom! Flurry Heart awoke with a jolt, and then started crying, causing Sombra to wake up as well. After regaining his bearings, Sombra looked around to see what the problem is, but eventually figured it out as he could hear rain pelting the living room windows, and also hearing a crack of thunder. Seeing that Flurry Heart is still crying, Sombra sighs, picks up Flurry Heart, and then says; “you’ll be fine pal… . Relax… . It’ll be okay… .” Hearing thunder rumbling, Flurry Heart yelped softly, and then hugged Sombra tightly while also covering her face on his shoulder so she won’t see anything scary. Now that Flurry Heart is scared, and no longer crying, Sombra slowly uncovers her face, and says; “you wanna sing a song together? That usually makes me feel better when I’m frightened as a kid. Would you like that?” Thunder rumbled again, prompting Flurry Heart to nod with haste. With a smile, Sombra then sits Flurry down on his lap so that way she won’t hold on to him tightly, pets her belly, and then clears his throat. “Ready?” Flurry nodded, and leaned against him with a smile. With that, Sombra counted to three with his fingers, and then he and Flurry Heart sang; “you are my sunshine… my only sunshine… . You make me happy, when skies are gray.” Thunder rumbled, and then both Flurry and Sombra continued; “you’ll never know dear, how much I love you… . So please… don’t take.. my sunshine away… .” With one last rumble, the storm clouds are then seen rolling away from the windows. Looking back at each other, Flurry Heart smiled, and then began to hug Sombra tightly for supposedly making the scary storms go away. Chuckling, Sombra replied; “no problem Flurry. Anything for a friend.” while also petting Flurry’s back. With a yawn, Flurry Heart fell fast asleep; knowing that she’ll be safe from now on. Smiling also, Sombra then replied; “goodnight little princess… . See you in the morning… .” Sombra yawned after that, and then laid down on the couch and fell fast asleep as well; knowing that it’s night time, and that it’s getting late. With both of them asleep, Sombra and Flurry Heart slowly drifted off to dreamland; happy that their day was going good for once! For now at least… .
