//------------------------------// // back on track // Story: Flashlight // by Glitter101 //------------------------------// Twilight walked side by side with Flash showing him every part of Ponyville she could. They played around and shared jokes as they walked around Ponyville. They finally ended in a lake a little outside of Ponyville. "So how did you end up living in Ponyville?" Flash asked. "I came to just check on the preparations for the summersun celebration. But then I found out about NightMare Moon and I turned into a complicated thing. Long story short me and my friends found out that we represent the elements of harmony and defeted NightMare Moon with the elements. When we got back to Ponyville I realized I couldn't leave my friends so princess Celestia let me stay and live in Ponyville." Twilight said. "That's nice. It's really peaceful and quit here." Flash said. "Yeah. Well, at least when it's not being attacked by enemies and weird creatures." Twilight said. "How often does that happen?" Flash asked. "More than it should." Twilight said with a small laugh. "Though it has made me stronger." "Really?" Flash said. "Yes. I could even beat you." Twilight said. "Is that a challenge?" asked Flash as he pinned Twilight to the ground. Twilight teleported out of his grasp and she was the one pinning him now. "Maybe it is." She said. "No fair, I don't have magic." He said as Twilight let him up. "No but you do have wings." Twilight said. "What does that have to do with anything?" asked Flash. "That if you want to beat me you'll have to catch me first." Twilight said before she flew away. Flash smiled before he took off after his mare-friend. He was a more experienced flyer so it didn't take long for him to catch up to her. He flew in front of her and caught her. "Who's not being fair now?" asked Twilight as Flash still held her in his hooves. Flash flew down with Twilight in his hooves confusing Twilight. "Flash what are you-wait...no nononono. Flash don't you dare-" Flash didn't listen and dropped her down in the lake. Twilight poked her head out of the water and looked at Flash. She teleported Flash out of the sky and he appeared in the lake. "Ha ha." Twilight teased. Flash splashed Twilight with water. "Hay." Twilight said splashing him back. It didn't take long for it to turn into a full out water fight. They played around just splashing each other for half an hour. Finally the got out and they were both wet from head to hoof. "We better head back and get cleaned up." Twilight said. "You can stay with me for the night." "Thanks." Flash said. They both began walking back together side by side. Both with smiles on their faces just being next to each other. When they got to the library Twilight took a bath first then Flash. "I have an extra bed you can sleep in. " Twilight said. "Thank you." Flash said walking towards Twilight. He wrapped a wing around her and kissed the tip of nose making her blush. "I don't know what i'd do without you." Twilight gave him a small peak on the lip and smiled. "Neither do I." Twilight said. They were about to kiss when the library door opened and Spike walked in. Their face turned red and they pulled apart. "Geez, can't you two ever keep your hooves to yourself." Said Spike. By the sound in his voice, I was obvious that he still wasn't too happy about Flash being there. "Maybe we should go to bed." Flash said. "Good idea." Twilight said. Flash made his way upstairs and Twilight turned to Spike. "Spike, give Flash a chance." Twilight said. "He's a nice pony." "Yeah, he's so nice that he hurt you and broke your heart." Spike said. "I'm not to sure about him." "It's bad enough with Shining Armour. Please just give him a chance. He might surprise you." Twilight said. "...fine. But just for you. I'll give him a chance." Spike said. "Thank you." Twilight said giving him a hug. Spike and Twilight made their way upstairs where Flash was already in bed. Spike went to his bed and fell asleep fast. Twilight made her way to her bed and laid down not being able to fall asleep after a few minutes of just laying there. She looked over at Flash on the other side of the room. She thought about whether or not she should go over to him. She finally made up her mind and climbed out of bed. She made her way to the other bed and climbed in. "Twilight?" asked Flash a little confused. "I...I couldn't sleep." Twilight said. Flash smiled and looked at her. "Neither could I." Flash said. Twilight climbed in next to him. He put a wing around her and she buried her head in his chest. She felt warm just being there laying next to him. She smiled as he planted a small and gentle kiss on her forehead making her stomach feel weird. He looked at her straight in the eyes and smiled at her. "I love you." Flash said. With those three words Twilight felt like tearing up. She wasn't confused anymore. She loved him and only him. The thought of losing him made her heart break. She looked at him and responded. "I...I love you too." Twilight said with a soft smile on her face. It didn't take long until they both drifted off to sleep happily in each others embrace.
