//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Brotherly Love // Story: Twilight's Love Story: Part Two // by Derpyforever //------------------------------// Chapter 1: Brotherly Love A soft, orange glow came upon the horizon as Princess Celestia prepared to raise the sun. Meanwhile, on a train heading to the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle was reading a book while her newly found beau, Flash Sentry, slept. After the adventure Flash, his friends, Twilight, and her friends, had been on in search of Rarity, Flash had to head back to the Crystal Empire due to his weekend off coming to an end. However, thanks to the courtesy of Princess Celestia, Twilight was a able to accompany her coltfriend for the next week as she stayed with her brother, Prince Shining, and her sister-in-law, Princess Mia Mora Cadenza, AKA, her former foal sitter, Princess Cadance. Winny was sitting next to Twilight, reading one of the offered magazines. Winny had a red velvet coat, sky blue mane, purple eyes, and a green shield as her cutie mark. Matt was looking out the window at the clouds, trying to guess what shape they formed. Matt had an orange coat like Flash, but with a combed down, blond mane, and brown eyes. He had a golden spear as his cutie mark. To Twilight, Matt and Winny were just good friends, but secretly were Flash's brother and sister. Only two ponies knew: Pinkie Pie, and Randy, a light green coated, yellow eyed, green haired pony with a iron sword as a cutie mark. He was part of the Crystal Empire Guards, but had business to attend to at Canterlot for a few months. The moment the sun peeked over the hills, the Crystal Empire came into view. Twilight nudged Flash awake and told him that they have arrived. Upon arriving, Twilight was greeted by her brother and her sister-in-law, who have been informed of her arrival. "Twiliy, it so good to see you again," said Shining. "It's so good to see you too, B.B.B.F.F.," replied Twilight. "So I guess I don't get a hello? I mean, I am your sister after all," Cadance joked. "I missed you too Cadance," Twilight laughed, giving Cadance a hug. "Like wise," Cadance said, returning the hug, "Although, I feel something different about you... Some sort of vibe." "That doesn't surprise me," Twilight smirked, "I mean you are the Princess of Love." "So wha... Ohh," Cadance grinned as she saw Flash coming. "Hey Twilight, I think we got everything," Flash called, catching up to Twilight followed by Winny and Matt, who were carrying all the luggage. "Remind me to stay out of Flash's love life," Matt silently complained to Winny, straining under all the pressure of the bags, "I swear it is going to be the death of me." "Guardspony Sentry," Shining said sternly, " What are you doing here?" "Ohh... Uhh... You see, sir, I was, umm..." Flash stuttered. "He was accompanying me at Ponyville, " Twilight finished, then turned to her older brother, "Shining, I want you to properly meet Flash, my coltfriend." "Colt-Friend," Shining said, slightly twitching at every word, while a mortified expression came upon his face. Twilight, joined by Cadance, laughed at the expression of Shining's face, while Flash bit his lip, trying to suppress his. "Why didn't you tell me you were..." Shining gulped, "Dating." "Well, two reasons: first of all, we really have been on one date," then Twilight smirked, "and I wanted to see your face when I told you I have a coltfriend. " Cadance interjected by saying gleefully, "Ooo Twilight, we have so much to talk about. I need to give you so much advice and you need to tell me all about Flash... Ohh, you probably want to spend time with him though," she added with a slight blush. "It's alright," Flash said, "I have to get ready for my post, which is in about half an hour, so you two should catch up." "Well what a gentlemen you are. You sure picked a good one Twilight," Cadance said. "Please tell me you are not warming up to this guy," Shiny said in disbelief. "Well he does seem nice," Cadance replied. "That's how they all start," Shining complained. "And that is how he will end," she snapped "How do you know! Your powers allow you to see the future of love now," he shot back. "No, but I don't need powers to see a good colt for Twilight when I see one," she flared. "Funny, I thought that was the protective big brother who did that." Twilight slipped out of the argument to talk to Flash, "You probably should go," she told him, "they are going to need some time after this. So you might want to pull a disappearing act." "Funny, like I never heard that before," Flash said sarcastically, "my lunch break is half an hour after noon if you want to meet up then." She pecked him on the cheek, "That sounds good, see you later." "See ya." With that, Flash, Matt, and Winny left. Twilight slipped back in, without notice, just in time. "Come on Twilight," Cadance said with a hint of frustration. "Your protective brother here is just being a big jerk." Cadance, with Twilight, turned and left. "You know what, I got better things to do then tell who is being the real jerk," Shining called after them. (To Be Continued...)
