Planning

Shadow was leaning against a tree next to a river bank after licking its muzzle after devouring a manticore. A flash appeared infront of Shadow as a tall unicorn stood out amongst the surroundings. The two glared at each other then slowly a smile appeared on their faces. The smile quickly broke into laughter as the duo hugged each other.

“Oh brother it’s good to see you again I am a little confused can you explain some things for.” Shadow said this while laying on the ground right next to her brother. “Of course sister and if you were wondering why I attacked you it was because you became unfocused in your blood rage and I couldn’t have you show your true form yet.”

The unicorn explained while also lying down while his little sister snuggled up to him. “First of all how have you been and second of all are we up to fight good or evil?” She said while still nuzzling him. “Hahahahaha I have been well I have also spoken with our younger brother and older sister.” The unicorn was now starting to laugh hysterically barely able to say his next sentence. “Would you stop that it tickles,” he exclaimed rolling on his side while his little sister continued to assault him with laughter. 

“You always used to do this to me.” The unicorn had enough and was barely able to mange to lift his sister away from him. He then gave her a menacing glare but when she changed her eye color to a beautiful rose color they both erupted into another fit of giggles.

“All right you said you would explain some things for me,” she asked looking up at the midnight sky. “Yes and we are splitting into teams you and me will take this side while the other two handle the other side of the globe.”

“The other side of the globe what’s going on?” she asked completely confused.

“There is too much order and peace so we need to eliminate the world leaders,” he stated bluntly.
Shadow looked up to her much older brother and rested her head on his hooves. “Shadowshifter I wish things could be as they used to be.”

Shadowshifter started to become a bit nervous because she only said his name when she was talking about what happened before they became family. His mind flashed of memories when he wasn’t his current size and when he was dating shadow. 
He violently shook the thoughts from his head and laid his head over Shadow’s and decided to use her full name this time. “Shadow Dancer I know how you feel; but like I said I’m not one to dwell on the past: yes I sometimes wish we could just go back to the way things use to be: but I’m sorry but duty comes first. Now let’s go to sleep.”

Shadow Dancer looked up at him through tired eyes and barely squeaked out “goodnight Shifter I love you.” He watched as Shadow Dancer adorably yawned and fell to sleep. He smiled to himself as he slowly pulled a fore hoof out from under her and softly stroked her it and humming a soft lullaby.

He chuckled to himself seeing one of his old fantasies right infront of his eyes. His love lying beneath him with him having the power to do anything. He sighed to himself for the isolation was supposed to get rid of those thoughts.

[Still she looks beautiful under the glow of the moon now that she fully restored her physical form.] He also noticed she was now a bit longer taller and thinner. He started to think more about what they once had and came to a conclusion once their task was done to ask her out…Again. 

Having thought out what to do his smile returned and he stopped brushing her mane and kissed her on the fore head just below her horn and whispered softly. “I love you to I always have but I tried to deny it and now as soon as this is over we will be together again……my love.” After giving his little speech he dosed off unaware that Shadow Dancer heard everything.
