//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: First Fight // Story: Twilight's Love Story: Part Two // by Derpyforever //------------------------------// Chapter 8: First Fight Friday, a day many foals loved and charished, was a day of saddening for Twilight and Fluttershy. They had to return to Ponyville, leaving behind their coltfriends. Twilight was in her room packing. They didn't have to leave until later that evening, but Twilight, being Twilight, wanted to be ready ahead of time. Of course with unicorn magic, it didn't take long, so she was able to spend time with Flash before the day's end. "I'm glad we have this last day to spend together," Twilight told Flash, as they lied next to each other under a tree, cloud-gazing. "Well it's not going to be our last date, right," Flash asked. "No, but we won't be together everyday like we have been." "I know, and I'm going to miss you, but let's try to focus on this moment, just you and me." "Yeah," Twilight replied snuggling up against Flash as he wrapped his wing around her, but all of a sudden, she pushed him away as her smile faded, "wait, so just like that." "Just like what," Flash asked, taking note of Twilight's sudden change in attitude. "One moment your worried about us being apart, then just brush it off like it's nothing." "Well, it's not that big of a deal." "Ohh really? Is that what you told Fluttershy," Twilight exclaimed, Flash just looked at her in shock, "Yeah that's right, I know what happen all those years ago, the oprea, Fluttershy and you together. Is that what you told her when you left her, 'it's not that big of a deal.'" "For your information, nothing happened between Fluttershy and me," Flash defended, starting to get a little angry himself. At this point, they both were standing up, glaring at each other. "That kiss sure said otherwise," Twilight said "That was a goodbye kiss, it meant nothing," Flash exclaimed, "why you even mad about it? That happen over thirteen years agol" "I'm not mad," Twilight flared, "just a little peeved that you think our relationship is nothing to worry about!" "I don't think our relationship is a joke! You are just being mad at problems that don't exist, " Flash yelled. "I'm not mad," Twilight yelled back. "I sure find that hard to believe!" "Fine I'm mad! At least I'm not being inconsiderate!" "Oh so I am being inconsiderate! I'm not the one who dragged Fluttershy into this! Who, now I think about it, I probably would have been better off with!" "Well why don't you go ahead and see if she's available, oh that's right, she off with a different pony," Twilight shouted while tears started to swell up in her eyes, "Maybe you'll get to feel the pain I felt when you kissed Fluttershy, and don't come crawling back to me, because I don't won't to see you again!" With that, she ran off as tears started to run down her cheek. Flash stood there breathing angrily through his gritted teeth, but then it faded and was replaced by sadness. He hung his head, as tears fell off his face, and said, "what have I done." ### Twilight ran all the way back to the castle and up into her room, were she paced angrily around her bed, until finally collapsing on it, crying loudly in her hooves. She kept crying until somepony knocked at her door. "Twilight, is that you," came a voice from the other side. "Go away Cadance," Twilight sobbed. Cadance open the door and walked inside, she approached Twilight, but stopped right next to her, giving her some space. She waited for Twilight to stop crying before trying to talk to her, "What's wrong Twilight?" Twilight didn't answer, she just laid there, her face in her hooves. "Is it Flash?" Twilight nodded her head, but still kept it hidden in her hooves. "Did you two have a fight?" Twilight nodded again. "I'm sorry, but I told you stuff like that happens." "I know," Twilight muttered. "What did you two fight about?" "We had a disagreement about us being apart. He thought it wasn't anything to worry about, which it really isn't, because we still get to see each other on weekends, but I took it too far and it ended up with us yelling at each other. Then I said that if he comes back, I won't welcome him, because I don't want to see him again. What have I done Cadance? I just yelled at the pony I love, and now we probably never see each other again." "Oh Twilight, love is not something that can be destroyed by one little disagreement. I mean, look at your brother and me, we argue all the time, but we are still together. It is because our love is strong, and one little shouting match isn't going to end it all." "I don't know Cadance. It was pretty harsh what I said." "But you didn't mean any of it, right?" "No... but what if he thinks I meant it." "He won't know unless you tell him you didn't." "But I don't know if he wants to even see me." "Twilight, enough with the 'but's and the 'what it's. Love is not what you think, it is what you feel. Go to Flash, talk to him, apologize, and if he really loves you, he will understand." Twilight lifted her face out of her hooves and looked at Cadance, who wiped a tear from Twilight's face, "Really?" "Really. Now go, and remember what I said, true love will always make it through, no matter what." With a new level of confidence in Twilight, she ran back to the tree on the hill where the argument happened. She looked around a bit, even managed some unsteady flying, but couldn't find Flash anywhere. She landed down next to the tree, and started crying. "What am I going to do now?" "I know what I'm going to do," said a voice from above. Twilight looked up and saw Flash slowly descending to the ground. She just stood there looking at him, not knowing if she should say something to him. Flash noticed her hesitation, and went ahead and said what they both were thinking. "I'm sorry Twilight," he apologized, "I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have yelled at you, and you were right, our relationship is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. "No, I'm sorry Flash," Twilight apologized back, "it really isn't that big of a deal. We still get to see each other on weekends. I'm also sorry for dragging Fluttershy into this, what happen was over thirteen years ago, and I was out of line picking at a scar like that." "That's alright, the past is the past, we are together now, and that's all that matterNow if I remember correctly, I had my wing around a certain beautiful pony, am I correct?" "You sure are." The two smiled and laugh, then laid back under the tree as they were before this whole mess happened, even sharing a couple kisses. Twilight thought about what happened, and was glad that there love was strong enought to last through there first fight, but will it be strong enough for future events that even she could not foresee?
