//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Sibling Secret // Story: Twilight's Love Story: Part Two // by Derpyforever //------------------------------// Chapter 4: Sibling Secret The next morning after Twilights and Flash's second date, Twilight, suggested by Princess Cadance, was enjoying a meal at a nice little breakfast nook not far from the castle. However, she notice that other ponies were whispering and watching her. Although she knew why, Twilight still felt a little uncomfortable. 'I thought a princess dating a guard would be nothing to gossip about,' she thought to herself, 'it is not like it never has happen before...' "Good morning your highness" somepony said, startling her. Twilight looked up at the pony who interrupted her train of thought and saw it was Winny. "Ohh, good morning Winny, and please, call me Twilight. So what are you doing here," Twilight asked, wondering why Winny wasn't at her post. "I got suspended for the day. Apparently, nearly killing a fellow squad member is against the rules now," She replied. "Was Matt giving you hard time again?" "Yeah." "Well since you're here, why not join me for some breakfast. I need somepony to take my mind off of the constant stares." "Thank you your high... I mean Twilight." She sat down across from Twilight when a waiter came by and took the mares' orders. They remain silent, for the most part, until there food arrived. "So Twilight, how are things between you and Flash," Winny asked after swallowing some of her eggs. "Things are going pretty well," Twilight replied, "We enjoy the time we spend together. What about you, you seeing anypony special?" "Nope, I'm single and loving it." "Really, what about Matt," Winny made a gagging noise after what Twilight said, "you ok?" "Yeah," Winny swallowed, "just threw up a little in my mouth." "Well I don't think he is that ugly." "No it's not that, it's... never mind. " "What?" "I said never mind!" "Alright, alright," Twilight backed off, "so back to Flash, how did you get to know him?" "Well, I knew him for as long as I can remember. I guess you can say I knew him from the day he was born." "How?" "I was always the responsible foal sitter for him." "I see. Cadance was my foal sitter when I was little. We have a pretty special bond. You and Flash close?" "Yep, we are as close as brother and sister." "Do you have a brother or sister?" Winny paused, then said flatly, "No." "Really, Flash said the exact same thing. In the exact same way..." "Probably just a coincidence," Winny said, but a little to bashfully. "Winny... what are you not telling me," Twilight said suspiciously. "Nothing," Winny said. "Winny." Winny sighed, " Well, you got to find out sooner or later. You see..." At that moment, Flash entered the diner looking for Winny. "Winny," he called, "You here?" "Over here Flash," Winny waved. "Ahh there you are, hey Twilight," he added, giving Twilight a hug. "Hey Flash," Twilight returned the hug, "so Winny, what were you saying." "I wasn't saying anything," Winny tried to cover up. "Really, it wasn't going to be about how you, Flash, and Matt are all related?" "How did you..." "Oh come on Winny. It's too obvious if you ask me. You and Flash pausing before you two answered. Matt fighting with you all the time. Flash trying to hush up Matt when you two were arguing yesterday. What really sealed the deal was when you said you threw up in your mouth when I wondered if you and Matt were dating, I was surprised that you all were able to keep it secret this long." "Wow, you sure picked a smart one Flash." "I know," Flash sighed, then started to smile "you thought Matt and Winny were dating?!" "Well, it was either they hate each other as siblings, or it was romance at failure." Flash fell to the ground laughing. He continued laughing until Winny punched him the stomach. "Ow," he excailmed, getting up and holding where he got hit, "was that really necessary?" "Yes, and if you are going to keep laughing, the next one is going to be across your face," Winny threatened, then turned to Twilight, "You aren't going to tell anypony are you?" "My lips are sealed." "Thanks. That means a lot to us," Flash said. "Hey, anything for my coltfriend," Twilight smiled. "Well, I got to get back to patrolling the city," Flash said, then turned to Twilight, "By the way, since Winny here decided to hold a certain pony at spear point, I had to take her shift, so our date has to be moved to the evening." "I understand," she kissed him on the cheek, "see you later." After Flash went back to his duties leaving the two girls alone. "Your brother is so kind to take your spot like that," Twilight sighed, then took a bite out of her apple. "I guess he is," Winny chuckled, "and between you and me, he was always my favorite. I'm glad he has got you... just don't take things to slowly. I always wanted a sister, and I would like one this decade." Twilight choked on her piece of apple she was chewing while Winny laughed. "Is there... anypony who is... not going to make... fun of us like that," Twilight coughed. "Ohh I'm just teasing you. It Flash that's going to be a comedy gold mine," She smirked. They both laughed at the thought. Twilight was glad that she has gained the friendship of Winny. 'At least I don't have to worry about Flash siblings in our relationship," Twilight thought, 'I just wish my brother was the same way." (To Be Continued...)
