So check him out on FIMfiction.net! Geusto and Jiny were talking to two other ponies while merely three paces behind them were Fluttershy's parents. Fluttershy, Comet, Twilight, and Flash hid behind a plant without being noticed "What's going on," Comet asked, alarmed by the other three's nervousness and secrecy. "My parents and Fluttershy's parents have some past issues," Flash explained, "I don't know how your parents feel about the whole situation, Fluttershy, but mine still dislike you and your parents. " "Do you think they know they're both here," asked Fluttershy. "I don't think so," Flash said, "as long as they don't turn around." "What are we going to do," Twilight added, "do your parents know that your dating me again?" "I'm pretty sure they don't," Flash replied, "a family feud kind of happened after... you know... and we drifted apart afterwards. I haven't spoken to them since... Ok, they're starting to walk away from each other, so I think they haven't noticed yet. Fluttershy, I'm going to need you to stay out of sight from my parents. I highly doubt your parents remember what I looked like since my hair changed but I'll try not to risk it and stay out of their way. I don't know how this is going to play out so we are going to have to wing it, for now let just cross our hooves and hope for the best." "Alright," the rest said before dispatching amongst the crowd. The next thirty minutes went by too slow for the four, nothing happen except a few close calls of standing right next to each other. Flash followed his parents while Twilight acted like she was just attending the Gala like any other year while still avoiding sight. Fluttershy took Tulip Rosevault, her mom, and Green Hoof, her dad, outside into the garden to stall, introducing them to Comet, talking about the time they have missed together as a family, and so on, but Fluttershy couldn't keep it up much longer. Another half an hour went by as Flash slipped next to Twilight to talk to her. "This is getting too close, I don't know how much longer we can keep this up," Flash whispered. "Well there must be something we haven't tried yet," Twilight whispered back, "What if..." "Umm, sorry to interrupt, but my parents are gone," Fluttershy said, coming into the conversation, "I can't find them anywhere." "Shoot! Where are my parents," Flash exclaimed looking around, "this is not good, not good at all..." Pinkie," Twilight exclaimed, startling the other two. "Come again," Flash asked. "Pinkie can talk... no wait, we don't know where she is..." "I'm right here silly," Pinkie's voice said, making the three jump. "What the... where the hay are you," Twilight exclaimed. "Right here," Pinkie said right behind Twilight making Twilight turn around to a plant. "Real funny Pinkie," Twilight chuckled, "but seriously, where are you." "You can't see me... oh I get! funny joke, writer," Pinkie's voice laughed with snorts, "Make me the fourth wall! The irony!" "I-I... I got nothing say to that," Twilight replied. "Well, since your doing my job, I guess I'll do the writer's job," Pinkie's voice said then made a sound of clearing her throat, "now that the two parents have met..." "They what," the three exclaimed. "Yeah, it says right here. They should be... look right and they'll be next to the ice sculpture." They looked right and and there they were, but they weren't talking to each other. They were, however, on each side of the sculpture, still having not seen each other. "They're not fighting," Twilight said. "Oops, I read a paragraph too far... ah, here are..." "So I said... Pinkie," exclaimed another voice as the sound of two pairs of footsteps were made, "I told you to leave my stories alone! Now get back in there young lady!" "You get back in there," Pinkie's voice mocked. "Get back in there or I will force you in there!" "No!" "Pinkie, come on! Your acting like a five year old!" "... Hi, I'm Pinkie, I don't believe we met before." "Derps," chuckled a different voice, "you just got burned by Pinkie!" "Shut up and just help me get her back in the computer!" "Can't catch me," Pinkie's voice exclaimed as the sound of hoofsteps and stuff being knocked over were heard by the the other three, who just kept on looking at each other with confusion. "Pinkie! Stop... red light!" All of a sudden, the noise stopped. Then footsteps where heard until out of nowhere, POOF, Pinkie appears before the three. "Dang it, DF! Let me back up there," Pinkie exclaimed jumping in the air as if trying to jump to a ledge, "you use the red light, green light trick every time! It's not fair! You know I can't resist a good game!" "Sorry Pinkie, but you have to get back to the story." "Can you at least give me a mustache," Pinie asked the ceiling, "Applejack didn't let me last time!" The voice groaned, "fine! But you better stay in the story!" The sound of typing was heard as, just like Pinkie appeared, a mustache appeared on her. "Thanks, DF... DF?" "I'm not talking to you!" "You just did!" "I don't want to hear you either," the voice said as more typing was heard. After it was done, Pinkie's mouth just disappeared. She tried to speak, but only the sounds of hums were heard. She panicked and ran out the Gala as the other three just continued to watch, mouth agape. The three shook their heads, looked at each other, then back to the four parents who were still talking, unaware of each other. "Well, here in normalville," Flash said, "Pinkie said they're going to fight, but when?" '"You," Geusto's voice rang. "I'm guessing right now," Twilight said. Geusto and Jiny were muzzle to muzzle with Fluttershy's parents as they glared at each other. "Horseapples," Flash said as he and the other two approached the parents. Now that the parents have met... (*sigh* just doesn't feel the same)... they stood in silence as ponies made a circle around them, watching, blocking off Flash, Twilight, and Fluttershy. "I can't find a way through," Flash exclaimed, "we'll have to fly over!" Flash instantly shot up into the air as Fluttershy's graceful flight and Twilight's shaky rise followed. "You tryed to hit my son," Geusto continued, "I would hit back but I would feel wrong to hit a mare!" "You are not touching my wife or daughter," Green Hoof flared. His grassy green coat was a little on the muscular side, so he could easily hold his own in a fight. "I was talking about you," Geusto replied. "Stop it, Dad," Flash exclaimed as he landed in front of him, "don't make a scene!" "We both know it's too late for that," Geusto said, pushing Flash out of the way, "Now move out of the way, you are not my son anymore!" "Y-Yo," Flash stuttered at the words of his father, then yelled, "fine, be like that! Get your flank kicked for all I care!" "Better watch what you say," Geusto flared. "Or what? You want to hit me too?" "Flash, calm down," Twilight tried to sooth "No! I had enough of it! You are bucking strong head, dad, and your killing yourself from the inside while harming other's at the same time... where's Matt dad!" Geusto face took on surprise for a second, then he stared at his son in anger, "DON'T YOU DARE BRING YOUR BROTHER INTO THIS! It was an accident!" "Ending up in the hospital is no accident," Flash said, "you got to open your eyes dad, your blinded by your own twisted up mind. Your not sure what is real anymore." "Why I outta..." "Geusto stop," Jiny blurted to the surprise of everypony, especially Geusto, "he's right. I see you when you come home and your a mess. If your not picking fights your drinking. You got to stop this Geusto, your hurting yourself!" At this point, Jiny was crying as Geusto watched her. He looked at the ground in epiphany as everypony watched then looked back at Jiny. He lifted her face and wiped a tear from it. "I-I'm so sorry Jiny," Geusto said, "I'm sorry for the pain I caused you over the years. Ever since I retired, I haven't been the same." "We noticed," Jiny smiled. "Can you forgive me?" "Of course," Jiny replied with a hug. Then Geusto turned to Flash, "Can you forgive me, son? Can you forgive me for everything I have done?" Flash let out a sigh and smiled, "Of course, dad." Geusto smiled as he and his son hugged, one that they haven't done in a long time. They were interrupted by a tap on Geusto's sholder, and Geusto turned around to see Green Hoof "Hey, I want to apologize as well. Our stupid feud has thrown our lives out of whack. So, I'm sorry," Green said, extending his hoof to Geusto. Geusto looked at the hoof for a second then smiled and shook it, "Apology accepted." "Well it's a good thing too," interrupted a voice, "or the plan would have failed." Everypony turned to see none other than Princess Celestia, with Derpy and a tannish white pegasus at her side, walk through a gap in the circle. "Plan," Twilight exclaimed, "you set this up?!" "Of course Twilight, You don't think this was all a happy coincidence? I've known about this for a while and had to end this feud." "But why?" "I have my reasons, now everypony should enjoy themselves and get back to the Gala," Celestia declared, then turned to Derpy and the pegasus, "Come on you two, let's go find R and L." "Ugh, I hate being around those two," Derpy complained, "They're always so lovey dovey." "Isn't that how you and the 'Doctor' were," the pegasus grinned. "Oh, put a sock in it Edward," Depry shot back. The Gala continued as Geusto Sentry and Jiny Nurse, and Green Hoof and Tulip Rosevault talked to each other as friends. Fluttershy found Comet and where spending some time out in the garden as Comet impressed Fluttershy with his knowledge of the stars. Twilight and Flash found some alone time on an empty balcony as they reminisced tonight's events. "Well, it looks like we don't have to worry about our parent, for good this time," Twilight smiled. "I guess so," Flash chuckled. "I just wondered what made Celestia plan all of this." "I do." "You do?" "Yep, because I have some news to tell you." "What's the news?" "You see, Princess Cadance was going down the list of names on her guards sheet and came across mine. Of course, she remembers we're back together but realized we've been together for almost half a year. So she called me in to talk to me and you'll never guess what she said." "What did she say?" "I'm fired." "Your what?!" "I'm fired," Flashed replied in a chipper tone, "isn't it great?" "Great?! How in the world of Equestria is that great?!" "Because, she said a new job is available and think I would be perfect for it," Flash grinned, "something about being a Princess's personal guard." "Really? I thought the Princesses already had enough... oh," Twilight blushed and smiled in embarrassment when she realized who he meant, then said, "that's great Flash! So your moving to Ponyville then?" "Yep, Princess Cadance gotten a house for me about a block from your library, so we'll be able to see each other everyday!" "That's amazing Flash," Twilight exclaimed, giving him a hug. "It sure is," Flash smiled, hugging her back. "You know what else," Twilight swooned. "What?" "I can do this everyday too," Twilight smiled, lightly kissing him on the lips. "I guess your right," Flash chuckled as a music from inside played. "This truly is the greatest night ever, and I'm glad your here to spend it with me," Twilight smiled. "I'm glad your with me too," Flash replied as they slowly dance to the music coming from inside. "To Be..." "So when are they going to get married," Pinkie jumped in before the voice could finished. "Pinkie, don't make regret giving your mouth back," the voice said. "Alright, Alright, you may continue." "Thank you... To Be..." "So I was kind of thinking that their could also be a Rainbow and Lighting thing, unless you change it in Pony's Creed. But I actually like that idea so maybe..." The voice sighed as Pinkie continued, "Sometimes I wonder why I let her break the wall... well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em... That's all for now folks, see you in the next chapter!"
