Flashlight

by Glitter101


Back home

Twilight just looked at Flash. She wanted to yell at him, hit him, tell him how much he made her suffer but she couldn't. All she couldn't, all she could do was look at him like an idiot.

"Twilight, please say something." Flash said. Twilight composed herself and looked at Flash.

"I have nothing to say to you." Twilight said with a hint of anger. "You should be happy i'm out of your life now-"

"I don't want you out of my life." Flash said taking Twilight by surprise. "I have been miserable without you. What you saw was a misunderstanding. There is nothing going on between me and SnowSky. Your the only mare I like." Flash said. "I...I love you Twilight."

Twilight let the words sink in. If she was confused before then this just topped it. "I...I, I just can't do this anymore Flash." Twilight said before she closed the door. She let herself fall on the floor tilting her head against the door. She let a tear fall down her cheek. She didn't know what to do anymore.

She got up and walked to her bed. She wasn't going to able to sleep tonight. She laid in her bed thinking about what Flash said. She couldn't stop thinking about him. She decided to let her go and try to sleep at least a little.


Twilight woke up early the next day. She couldn't sleep last night. She only got about five hours of sleep. She got all her bags and headed for the train station. She really missed her friends. At least there she would have some peace. When she got there she waited for the train. It seemed like forever. Finally, when it came she quickly got on only looking briefly behind before she got in.

The entire train ride home Twilight couldn't help but miss Flash. She wanted to forgive him but she didn't want to take the risk and let it happen again. When she arrived at Ponyville she got off and looked around. She really missed home. She was walking to the library when she herd someone yell her name. She turned around and saw Pinkie Pie running towards her. She didn't have any time to react because she was soon wrapped in a tight hug.

"Pinkie...can't...breath." Twilight said. Pinkie let go making Twilight fall.

"Sorry, i'm just really happy your here! We missed you sooo much." Pinkie said.

"I missed you girls too." Twilight said getting up from the ground.

"Aww, thanks. Wait, weren't you supposed to stay a little longer? Why are you here early?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Wait. I know why! You missed us so much and couldn't stand being apart from us." Pinkie said.

"Yup, yea. That's why I came back. Because I missed you all. No other reason at all." Twilight said going along with it. She felt bad about lying but she was too sad to talk about what happened right now.

"I knew it!" Pinkie yelled. "But you should have told us before you came. Now i'm going to have to throw you a party as soon as possible. I have a lot of work to do." Pinkie said before running of somewhere.

Twilight just smiled and rolled her eyes at Pinkie being Pinkie. She walked to the library and saw Spike reading a magazine on the floor.

"Hay Spike." Twilight said to the baby dragon. Spike looked up from his book and looked at Twilight. He quickly ran over to her and gave her a hug.

"Twilight your home." Spike said. "I missed you so much. But, don't take this the wrong way, why are you home so early?"

"Well, let's just say that there were a few problems." Twilight said.

"Problems? What kind of problems?" Spike asked.

"Just problems Spike. Can we just leave it there? I don't want to talk about it. These days have been a little ruff." Twilight said. Spike new Twilight really didn't want to talk about it so he let it go.

"Alright. While your here, why don't we go out to eat. You can tell me all about your new coltfriend." Spike said. Twilight stiffened when she herd that.

"Can we not talk about him either? I don't want to talk about my trip. Please." Twilight said.

"What's wrong Twilight? Why don't you want to talk about your trip?" Spike asked.

"I just don't Spike. The trip is he reason I came back, ok? I just want a break after all that's happened." Twilight said. Spike nodded. "Alright then, let's go eat." Twilight said. Spike followed Twilight out the door to a restaurant down the road. Twilight ordered a daisy sandwich and Spike just ordered some fries.

They were eating in silence until all her friends came in. They walked over to Twilight and sat down around her.

"Why didn't you tell us you were back sugercube?" Applejack asked.

"I just got here. I was going to tell all of you. But how did you know I was back?" Twilight asked.

"Pinkie Pie told us. She also told us that your party was in four hours." Rainbow said. "But enough about us. Tell us about your trip."

"Yea, and about the fight you got into." Pinkie aid.

"What?" Everyone said looking at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie took out a magazine out of nowhere and put in on the table. Twilight took the magazine and started reading out loud.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle gets into a fight with mare. Who is this mare and what grudge is there between them? We'll make sure to give you the news as soon as possible." Twilight stopped reading and looked further and saw pictures of the fight and Cadence having to slit the fight.

"This isn't good." Twilight said putting the magazine down. Her friends looked at her waiting for an explanation.

"Is this what you didn't want to talk about?" Spike asked.

Twilight sighed and decided to come clean. She told her friends about Flash and SnowSky and the break up and the fight and everything else. Her friends looked at her feeling a little sorry for her.

"I can see why you didn't want to talk about it." Rarity said.

"Yea, I'm just scared of what princess Celestia will say." Twilight said.

"Hay, calm down. Maybe she doesn't know." Spike said. All of a sudden a scroll appeared and landed on the table. Twilight opened it and read it.

"What does it say?" Fluttershy asked.

"Princess Celestia wants to talk to me." Twilight said. "I'm dead." Twilight said putting her head on the table.
