	Well today was the day. There was no going back. This was life or death. Do or Die. If one thing goes wrong, everything will go downhill. The most frightful thing Flash had to do in his entire life: Bringing his marefriend (and her dragon) to meet his parents.

The trio were at the train station where they would go to the Sentrys house in Chicacolt for the Sentrys biannual dinner. Twice a year, Flash would go home to his family where both he and his sister Flare would stay for a week so that the family can catch up on each other.

"I can't wait to meet your family Flash." Twilight said as they arrived at the station

"Oh I'm sure you'll love them." Flash said nervously

"And I can't wait to see Chicacolt. Do you think we'll have enough time to see all the sights Twilight?" Spike asked "I want to see the legendary Saddle Tower and get my claws into some good deep dish pizza."

"I'll make sure we get everything Spike. Already on my checklist." Twilight responded

"Yeah that should be great." Flash chuckled nervously

"What's wrong Flash? Twilight asked "You always seem to be happy to see your family when you go."

"I know I know," The orange pegasus said "But this is different. This is the first time my parents are going to meet you and Spike. What if they don't like you?"

"I'm sure it'll go fine." The alicorn responded  by kissing her coltfriend on the cheek and wrapping her wing around him. "After all, you're dating a princess and the Element of Magic. What's not to like?" Twilight giggled

Suddenly the train finally came with a halt and the conductor called: "All Abroad for Chicacolt! All Abroad!"

"That's our train.We should get going. Come on Spike." Twilight called as the trio came on the train

As Flash got to his seat by the window and the train started to move, with the station fading away, he started to ponder. "How did I get here?" he thought  " I don't deserve her. (looking over to Twilight who was reading her book) Feels like yesterday,  we were packing up and I was afraid on moving to that big city Chicacolt from Ponyville.  Fourteen years later, here I am  a royal guard and about to show my royal marefriend to Mom,Dad, Flare, and Agua.How did this happen?"

Well for that, that started one spring night at Ponyville hospital.
