Chapter 14: Making Some New Friends

Thirty days have now passed since the invitation Twilight Sparkle had sent to Flash Sentry, and today was the day, the Council of Friendship, the day that Twilight could spend with her friends, and Flash was picking up a few basic stuff with him in his bag, like a Radio, Water, and just in case, his suit of armor, after flying a little while, Flash found and met up with Twilight and Spike just outside Canterlot Castle.

"Oh Good Flash, you're here, ready to go?"

"Ready to go, let's fly and head over to Ponyville"

"Wait, we don't have to fly to Ponyville"

Flash was a bit confused but then Twilight used her Magic, and teleported Herself, Spike and Flash to Ponyville directly.

"Oh Yeah, I forgot you Alicorns could just teleport to places where you wanna go"

Flash then looked around and saw what Ponyville was like for the first time, although it did seem like a pretty simple town, he could tell it had a very close and warm presence compared to where he was living in Canterlot, Spike then wanted to start some Convos with Flash.

"So Flash, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing alright, and I forgot to ask, who's this Twilight?"

"Oh, this is my Friendship Ambassador, Best Friend and No.1 Assistant, Spike.

"Oh, Hello Spike, nice to meet you"

Twilight, Flash and Spike then walked all the way until they reached Twilight's Old Friendship Castle.

"Okay, so all of my friends should be waiting for us just outside the Friendship Castle"

And sure enough, just like Twilight said, all of her Mane Six friends plus Starlight Glimmer were all waiting for her and Spike's arrival.

"Hey Twilight! Hi Spike!"

Twilight Sparkle and Spike then ran towards all of their friends and gave them a big group hug, Fluttershy was the first one to speak.

"We missed you Twilight!"

"I missed you girls too!"

Spike then was feeling a little bit left out, and was a bit annoyed by it.

"Hey, don't forget about me over here!"

All of the girls then laughed, and then responded.

"We missed you too Spike"

Rainbow Dash was Very eager though to see what Plans Twilight had for them to spend their day together.

"So, how are we spending today's day together? Go to a Restaurant, see a Movie in the Theater?"

"Well, we can decide all of that a bit later, for now, I want you girls to meet Somepony"

Twilight and Spike then moved aside, and they saw Flash Sentry there, ready to introduce himself to them, but Rarity immediately notices something familiar about the Yellow coated Pegasus.

"Hold on a minute darling, isn't this the same pony that you had a cr-"

Twilight then gave Rarity a sign and a signal to stop what she was about to say, and Rarity immediately understood, Pinkie Pie then tried to change the subject quickly.

"So, Flash Sentry is your name, correct?"

"Why yes it is"

"Well, it's really nice to meet you Flash"

"Why don't we go inside, and you tell us a bit about Yourself?"

"Okay, Sure"

Flash then went inside the Friendship Castle with all of the other girls and Spike, and looked at the place inside, and it looked way bigger on the inside than it did on the outside, it was massive and looked like up to thirty or fourty ponies could live there without causing much issues, and then, they went into a big room, which had a table with a giant map in front of them and some chairs which all had the Mane Six's Cutie Marks on them, Spike then brought another different chair for Flash so he could sit down with them.

"Thanks Spike, I appreciate it"

Twilight then wanted to get the Introductions started.

"Alright, Flash, would you mind introducing yourself to my friends?"

"Why of course, Hello everypony, my name is Flash Sentry and I'm a Castle Guard Member that currently lives in Canterlot"

"Oh, that's cool, what is it that you do as a Castle Guard Member?"

"Well, I scout for any trouble or danger that might brew here in Equestria wherever I'm transferred to, and if there is one, I try solving those problems, and before Celestia and Luna retired, I used to send and transport messages from them and deliver some to them"

"Interesting, and I assume you've known Twilight here for a while?"

"Well, I have known her for about six years, but we never really got the opportunity to talk to each other much, considering how busy both of our jobs are"

"Yeah, that's understandable"

"But since you're here, we could spend time together all day"

"Yeah, that's great, how about you girls, what do you do?"

"Oh me? I'm now the lead trainer of the Wonderbolts now that Spitfire has retired"

"I bake and sell deserts and cakes with Mr. And Mrs. Cake at our own store Sugarcube Corner"

"I work on a farm called Sweet Apple Acres with my Granny Smith, my Brother Big Macintosh, and my younger Sister Apple Bloom"

"I work for and run multiple Boutique's at Ponyville and other places in Equestria"

"I own an Animal Shelter and Sanctuary, where all animals can go there and recover and rest if they're hurt or injured, and return back to their homes once they're fully healed"

"And I'm the Head are of Twilight's School of Friendship"

Flash was a bit jealous that all of the Mane Six and Starlight had such interesting jobs, but Twilight tried to make him feel better.

"Wow, you girls have way more exciting jobs than me"

"Aw, come on, you know that's not true Flash"

"Also, I didn't know you once owned a School"

"Yeah, well, it's a place where all Creatures of any kind can come and learn about the Magic of Friendship"

"I see, that's really interesting and cool"

Rainbow however was a little eager to get things going along.

"Yeah, we can also continue chatting a little bit later, so, how are we going to spend the day today?"

Applejack then came up with an idea.

"Rainbow, remember the two things you suggested?"

"Going to a Restaurant, and going to the Theater?"

"Yeah, why don't we do both? We go to a Restaurant first, and then to a movie theater?

"I like the way you think AJ, what about you Twilight? Are you cool with this?"

"Well, as long as I'm spending time with you ponies, I don't really care what we do, let's do it"

All of the group then started searching for a Restaurant, and eventually, they found a Pretty decent one, and ordered Hayburger Fries and Hayburgers, which were some of Twilight's Favorite, and after they were served, Twilight immediately dived in and started eating quickly, Flash then chuckled at how quickly Twilight was finishing her meal.

"You do look very hungry for a Princess or Ruler of Equestria"

"Well, being the Ruler of Equestria can be a stressful and tiring job"

The group then enjoyed chatting with each other and also getting to know Flash better on what he enjoyed doing and what he liked and disliked, after they finished eating and the bill was paid, they then went to a Movie Theater, Fluttershy and Starlight wanted to see a Romcom, Flash and Twilight wanted to see an Action one, Spike wanted to see a Drama one, but a bit surprisingly, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Applejack wanted to see a horror one, and since Majority vote wins, they all decided to go in and watch a horror movie, they brought their tickets and some popcorn, then went inside the Theater, and throughout the whole movie, Rainbow, Applejack and Rarity did not get scared one bit, and they were even quite invested in the film, Pinkie was laughing at almost every single Jumpscare instead of being scared, Spike and Fluttershy however, always held on to each other whenever a jumpscare happened, Flash and Starlight were completely fine with the movie themselves, but whenever a Jumpscare happened, Twilight would cover her face into Flash's chest, he felt a little awkward whenever that happened, but everytime it did, Flash would pat Twilight on her back and comforted her.

After the Movie was over and they left the Theater, the group talked to each other about how the movie was.

"That...Was... Awesome! But, maybe next time we should choose a more calming movie for Spike and Fluttershy"

Spike and Fluttershy both tried to deny that they were feeling scared, though they didn't sound too convincing with their stutters.

"Oh, no, that's fine"

Twilight and Spike then realized it was a bit late and was time for them to go.

"Well girls, I had an amazing time with you all, but it's time for us to go"

Twilight and Spike then hugged the Mane Six and Starlight, before Applejack invited Flash into it too.

"Come on Flash, you can join in too"

Flash then joined the group hug, and after a while, they let go.

"I had a great time with you girls too"

"Hopefully you get to come by and visit us more often"

"It was great having you Flash"

"Alright, bye girls, see you next time"

"Bye Twilight, bye Spike, Bye Flash, see you guys next time"

Twilight then teleported herself, Spike and Flash back to Canterlot, and as they were going home, Twilight and Flash started chatting.

"I had an amazing time with you girls today"

"Really? I'm glad you enjoyed"

"You have such fun and great friends"

"Well, that's what a lot of ponied tell me"

"I hope we visit Ponyville a lot more often"

"Well, there's quite a few other ponies and friends of mine that you still haven't met yet"

After a while, the three of them arrived at the Canterlot Castle.

"Well, was nice to spend the day with you and the others"

Then to Flash's surprise, Twilight gave him a kiss on the cheek, as she went inside the Castle, Flash blushed afterwards and headed to his home as a happy pony, feeling warm on the inside, knowing that his crush had kissed him.
