Chapter 6: Dirty Little Secret

Friday night, the group of friends arrive outside a local restaurant.  “I’m glad you didn’t have a problem with my friends tagging along Flash,” Twilight says.

“Hey, you said you were a little nervous about everything, so if it makes you more comfortable to have them all around I’m cool with that for now.” Flash says, “As long as they pay their way, I’ll get you, as it is a date”

Twilight smiles, “Deal,”  They all sit in a corner of a restaurant and order, “Now that it’s reasonably quiet there’s something I need to tell you Flash, before this goes any further.”

“What’s that Twi?” Flash asks.

Twilight sighs, “I’m not exactly who you think I am.”

“You are Twilight Sparkle, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” she answers, “Just not the same one you know.”

Flash looks confused. “What do you mean?”

“The Twilight Sparkle that was Princess of the Fall Formal, and you danced with and everything was from another world.  I’m the one that belongs here.  Principal Celestia thought it might be easier for everyone if I just told them I was her,” Twilight admits and looks at Flash.

“No offense, but what happened to the other Twilight?” Flash asks and Twilight winces slightly.

“She went back to her world,” Rainbow Dash answers.

Flash nods, “What is her world like?”

Everyone looks at Sunset Shimmer who sighs. “Equestria is a magical land,” Sunset starts, “The majority of the population is ponies, whether we were regular ponies, or pegasi or unicorns or alicorns.”

“What’s an alicorn?” Flash asks.

“A unicorn with wings.” Sunset answers, “It’s what Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria is, and it’s what Princess Twilight Sparkle is.”

“That would explain why she had wings at the dance.” Flash comments then looks to Twilight. “So you had no idea who I was when I kissed you?” 

Twilight shakes her head and Fluttershy quietly voices, “That’s why I was as glad I was nearby, I saved her on purpose.”

Flash nods, “I’m sorry Twi, err is it still okay if I call you that?”

Twilight smiles, “I like the nickname, and so far I like you.”

“You just didn’t want me thinking you were someone you weren’t?”

Twilight nods, “I wanted to be honest with you, especially if we’re going to date,” she adds with a slight blush.

“So you brought your friends in case I left you after hearing the story?”

“I believe she brought us for support,” Rarity says, “After all it was the group of us that found her and convinced her to come to Canterlot High.”

“That and I wasn’t sure if you’d believe me, it is a pretty crazy story,” Twilight admits.

“It certainly is, but I believe the whole thing, not sure why, but I do,” Flash says, “So is there anything else I should know, or we good?”

Twilight looks to her friends and they all shrug, “I think we’re good,” she says.

“Good, then maybe the next time we go out we can go without you friends?” Flash suggests with a smile.

Twilight smiles back, “I think I would like that.”
