Flash narrates

I had my headphones on, humming to my favourite song and occasionally singing along.

“My heart’s a-” I began the best verse, when I was interrupted by a sudden jolt. Shaken to the core and my heart pounding a million miles per hour, I turned my face to ‘confront’ the other person. Soarin? Why would he pull me so hard?  I kept my ground. “Hey wassup man?” I said, in my sick, handsome voice. Not that kinda  sick. I’d only be that kind of sick if Timber stole MY Twilight away from me. Uh, what I mean is, Princess Twilight. Steering away from the point. Back to the story. 

“DUDE, DIDN’T YA HEAR?” Soarin exclaimed, his eyes showing too much excitement. “Uh, what now?” I retorted, rather puzzled. “DUDEEE! Principal Celestia received a letter from the king and queen that’s for you…” I would’ve cut him off right there. Asked him to put an end to his drab pranks and do something I’d fall for. Maybe say that Twilight likes me? I’d fall for it right away. I’m blinded with love at those stages. Anyway, he continued by saying, “And it says that you’re the prince.”

Normally, I would’ve laughed. But I didn’t. He took me out of my singing zone for a prank that I was definitely NOT going to fall for. I did NOT like to be interrupted by anyone when I was in that zone. I would get furious at anyone. Soarin sometimes gets scared when I scream at him. I know it’s funny but I feel bad for him later on so I decided not to scream. I DO get angry at anyone but I’m sure I wouldn’t get angry at Twilight if she took me out of my singing zone. I mean, how could you yell at someone with those violet eyes that are as luminous as the moonlight? Maybe even more.

Anyway, I just stared at him blankly. He seemed ecstatic. Since when did he get so good at acting to be feeling some way? I mean, he was never really good at faking emotions. Probably took some lessons from Rarity.  “Yeah, not working, man. Your pranks are getting lamer by the day. The acting’s spot on though, not gonna lie.” 

He looked at me like I was a psychopath. Like, dude! Did you actually think I was going to fall for a prank of this sort? It felt like he hadn’t even thought over it properly. And the way he was pretending to be bamboozled left my mind in a tangle of arteries and what-not. Yes, I sound like a nerd but I like science. Physics at that. Physics is so much fun! Almost as fun as secretly taking pictures of Twilight every day because she looks so… uh… I’ll go too far if I say more than ‘pretty’ so I’ll just say pretty. So let me say my sentence again. Almost as fun as secretly taking pictures of Twilight every day because she looks so pretty. Rarity doesn’t let her wear the same outfit twice so she has new outfits every day which is kinda good for me as I can have a variety of cute pictures of hers.

All her outfits are so much better than her other friend’s. It almost feels as if Rarity got her better clothes than herself. Well, she kinda did without realizing it. They’re mostly pink and that colour suits her so well! But when she wears blue. Wow. Hard to put into words. She looks so h- I MEAN BEAUTIFUL. I have 4,817 pictures of her. Yeah, I keep count. I know I sound like a simp and I’d admit it to anyone but her. I mean, she’d get creeped out and wouldn’t ever want to talk if she realized how much of a simp I truly am. And then I’d never hear her voice that is so sweet and like a symphony of- Shut up Flash. This is going too far. 

“Bruh, I’m not joking,” Soarin said, rolling his eyes, “If you don’t trust me, come along and see Principal Celestia for yourself. Besides, even if you did, you’d have to come anyway to get the letter.” I still didn’t believe him but my heart began to thump loudly. I could hear it in my ears. Very loud.  Was I really going to be prince? No way, man. Me of all people? WAIT, IF I WAS GOING TO BE A PRINCE, THEN I WOULD BE CLOSER TO TWILIGHT’S STANDARD AND THE CHANCES OF HER LIKING ME WOULD INCREASE SO BAD!! And then we would both be in love and she would be the future queen and I would be the future king. 

Bruh, I’m so dumb. Planning out a whole future based on a measly prank. “You’re  just saying that because you know for sure that I will not be going to her office,” I groaned. “Dude! Just come along! I am NOT lying!” he said, visibly irated. He stomped his foot. “Did you tag Principal Celestia along in this prank?" I asked, a bit curious. "Man, just come along! It's no prank!!" Soarin groaned, vexed. Principal Celestia wasn't really the type who would indulge in a prank against such a handsome student like me. But then again, the fact that she once tried doing the bottle flip on Snips' back and succeeded made me think otherwise at that time. I was baffled. What was going on? Was the time that Twilight would fall for me nearing? I didn't know then but my 'hunch' was actually spot on. But what I least expected was happening next. Something I had always had dreamt of when I was around 5.
