“I’m sorry,” was the first reply Flash Sentry got when he declared his love to Twilight Sparkle.

He didn’t understand what she meant by that, but it didn't matter. Their relationship grew and every day was better than the previous one.

But then, Flash Sentry experienced the worst day of his life. He had just been dumped by his girlfriend, who moved back to Equestria. She had told him that they were too different, that their worlds were too far apart. She had said it was for the best.

He had tried to wish her well, but he couldn't help feeling abandoned. It was as if his heart was ripped out of his chest. He loved her more than life itself, and he had thought she felt the same. He had given her his all, and she had thrown it all away. He had dreamed of a future with her, and she had shattered it.

He wandered through the streets, trying to forget her face, her voice, her smile. But everywhere he looked, he saw reminders of their time together. The park where they had their first date, the movie theater where they had their first kiss. He wanted to erase those memories, to be free of the pain.

Finally understanding, he looked for the hundredth time at the last memory of her, a simple message on his phone, the last words from his love, “I’m sorry.”
