Chapter 6: A New Career

The Next morning came, and Flash Sentry had gotten a very good night's sleep and woke up in a very good mood, he showered himself, brushed his teeth, and then greeted the Shropsharp's, and they had breakfast together on the dining table together, after they had their breakfast though, there was a pretty loud knock at the door.

"I'll get it"

Then, when Mrs. Shropharp opened the door, she was very shocked and surprised to see Princess Luna at her doorstep in the presence with a lot of royal guards.

"Why hello Princess Luna, your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you would come to visit, would you like some tea?"

"While I do appreciate the kind gesture, i'm not really here to pay visits, I came here because I believe there is a Yellow coated with a Blue mane Pegasus who lives here"

"Oh, you mean THAT pony, oh yeah, he definitely lives with us here"

"May I have a word with him?"

"Oh sure, Flash! Somepony's here to see you, come here as fast as you can!"

When Flash came to the door, he was stunned, in shock and in awe when he saw Princess Luna, one of the two rulers of Equestria, wanting to see him.

"Hello there, I suppose you know who I am right?"

"U-uh-uh, of course Princess Luna, your majesty.

Flash sentry then bowed down to Princess Luna

"Look, if I've done anything wrong I promise I'll try to make it up to you somehow"

"Oh, far from that young Stallion, me and the other royal guard members were actually very impressed by your defensive and fighting skills to defend and protect that Mare from the thief"

"Really? Aw shucks, it wasn't much, really"

"No, it was very much something alright, and that's why me and the others are here"

Flash Sentry was a bit confused by what Princess Luna meant or was implying at.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, me and my sister have been looking for new castle guard members since most of our old ones have now decided to either do something else or retire, and let's just say, you might be the first pony on our list to make it to this job"

Flash couldn't believe what he was hearing, an Alicorn, a Princess, one of the two rulers of Equestria, was offering him a job as a member of the castle guard, immediately, what came to Flash's head was the excitement that he felt when he got the thief to retreat, but then he also looked around, and saw his two caretakers, Mr. And Mrs. Shropsharp, who he felt like was difficult to leave them, but all they did was give a kind smile to him.

"Go ahead, Go for it, it's an opportunity of a lifetime, we'll be okay, we won't mind"

"But, I-I'm really going to miss you guys, I didn't think I would be leaving you guys this early"

"We will miss you too, but we'll never forget you or what you did for us, it's been great knowing you, we wish you the best or luck for your future"

Flash Sentry then hugged both of them quite tightly and didn't want to let go from them, and started tearing up again.

"I won't ever forget you guys either, hey, if I've got time, I'll still come and visit"

"That would be great Flash"

Princess Luna then seemed like she was in a bit of a hurry to get things done and moving along.

"So, what is your full name Stallion?"

"Flash, Flash Sentry your majesty"

"Okay Flash, will you accept this job offer?"

Flash took one more look at the Shropsharp's, they nodded, and then, he made his decisive decision.

"Yes, I accept"

"That's Excellent, the place and location I need you yo visit is the Crystal Empire, which is about a few hours from here by the train, there will be somepony there who will greet you and escort you to your station.

"Alright, but first, before I go with you, can I pack up my belongings?"

"Sure, of course you may"

Flash then went back into the house for pretty much the last time ever, grabbed a Quill, his journal, a music radio, and his bits and put them all in a bag, and then placed it around his body.

"So, Flash, are you ready for the next step in your life?"

"I'm ready for it"

Flash then waved one last time at the Shropsharp's before he left, and they waved back at him as he flew into the air with Princess Luna and the other royal guards, and after a while of flying, they arrived at the train station, and a lot of other ponies who were waiting at the station was Pretty confused on why Princess Luna along with the other royal guards got into the train, and they started chatting about it, Princess Luna then paid for the tickets to the Crystal Empire.

"All aboard!"

The conductor said his word and gave his signal, and Princess Luna and all of the guard then, including Flash, got inside the train, and then they all got into their seats as the train started moving and heading towards the Crystal Empire, and Flash Sentry looked at the train's window, amazed and in awe of the landscape view of Equestria from the train tracks since he'd never been on a train before at that point in his entire life, and all he could think about in his thoughts, was that he was very excited to see what his new job would be like, and then hat career for him holds for the Future.
