//------------------------------// // Chapter 12 // Story: Book 1: A Sunlight Story // by Universal Timegate //------------------------------// The peaceful day of Equestria has ended with a sudden jolt of discrete anger and confusion as our two love birds soon came across Flash Sentry. Flash Sentry in the Human World was lenient compared to the one in the Pony World. This one was relentless in getting Twilight but failed every time. Now that he’s here his plans will still continue us see how our two princesses will deal with this new found threat. “Hello ladies.” Flash Sentry said bowing his head in respect. “Flash Sentry?!” Both princesses said in Unison. “The one and only and might I say I’m glad to be both of your guards.” He said with no fault in his speech being sincere as possible. He walked up to Sunset Shimmer and examined her carefully. “Congrats on being a Princess and congrats on the both of you on being a couple. Also Sunny I don’t plan on ruining your bond as that’s not my job, I was sent here by your mom so you can complain all you like but her order oversee yours.” He then walked away leaving the two alone to talk. “Well what now?” Sunset asked Twilight who was like her confused and with no plan or thought to any course of action with this. “I don’t know I guess I’ll see how this plays out and I’ll send Princess Celestia a letter of her obscene order.” Twilight said producing a letter with her magic and began to write. Before she could write any letter Sunset made the quail and pen disappear. Twilight looked at her with an annoyed glance. “Sorry Twilight but I’ll go see her personally right now to straighten this out.” Sunset gave her a quick kiss and she then teleported out of the castle to Canterlot. -In Canterlot- Princess Celestia was sitting on her throne and watching guard ponies wonder about. All seemed peace for the moment until Sunset teleported in front of her face just mere inches away. This didn’t seem to surprise the Sun Pony as she just sipped a cup of tea she made appear. “Greetings Sunset Shimmer… What brings you here on such short notice?” Celestia asked keeping a calm collective temper compared to Sunset. “Mom and I mean this in the kindest way possible but; WHY DID YOU PUT FLASH SENTRY AS A GUARD TO US?” Sunset scream causing some guards to come in then leave at the sight. Celestia walked down from her throne and put her hoof on Sunset’s shoulder and motioned her to follow. In frustration she did. “I put Flash Sentry as a guard because I know about his history with Twilight entirely from the Human World to the Pony here. I think that he is mature enough to be your guard.” “Couldn’t you have sent someone else? Like that Assassin Pony that Luna’s friends with? I think he’ll be a good candidate for us.” Celestia stopped her rambling by putting her hoof out in front of the mare. “He wasn’t available by what Luna said so I sent Flash Sentry because he was the only one willing to do it.” She continued to walk. “Well still I don’t trust him like you do mom you’re too nice.” Celestia gave a small laugh. “That may be true but do know this: ‘If the Princess is Happy then the Subjects are Happy.’” Celestia stated. “Give it a month at least and if you still feel that he’s not trustworthy then I’ll have him put back here and send that Assassin Pony that you request so much now.” Celestia then teleported away leaving Sunset alone who then Teleported back to Twilight’s Castle. -In Twilight’s Castle- Twilight stood where she was waiting for Sunset to return. Seeing a flash of light next to her Sunset appears. Flash came out with his sword in hoof looking for a threat. “You two alright?” Flash asked. “We’re fine just some long distance teleporting.” Twilight said looking at Sunset dust herself off. Flash drew his sword away. “Good no threats here then.” Sunset however wasn’t finish with him yet. “Flash Sentry front and center here.” She pointed to a spot where Flash Sentry stood not knowing what was coming to him. Sunset suddenly without warning charged up a magic beam and shot him through the frontal chest which cracked his armor and helmet upon impact. The blast sent him flying into a nearby wall. Twilight stared blankly at Sunset and rushed over to help him up. “Flash you alright?” Flash got up with no type of damage on him but his armor begs to differ. “That was some hit Sunny what was that for?” Flash said still dazed from the hit. “That was for breaking up with me in the Human World and trying to hit on Twilight here while I was over there.” Said Sunset ready to hit him again with the same type of blast. Twilight interjected. “Sunset that’s in the past but revenge is not the answer what’s done is done so calm down.” Flash got up after hearing this. “I deserved that hit and I’m sorry that my Human counterpart dumped you but that’s not me and yes I tried to hit on Twilight and win her over but now that chance will never happen since you two are together now I like some other mare who is much better going so lay off.” Flash said while getting an ice pack from the kitchen. “I still don’t forgive you Flash just know that I’m watching your every step along the way while you’re here.” Sunset was walking to the kitchen to make something for her and Twilight. “Get your icepack and leave us be.” Sunset said to him as he grabbed his icepack and left the room leaving both Sunset and Twilight alone once again. Twilight nudged Sunset hard causing her to rub her left foreleg in pain. “That wasn’t called for Sunset.” Twilight said. “You don’t know what he did to me Twilight. If you knew then you’ll understand.” Sunset grabbed some ingredients and place them on the countertop. “Well he’s here and you have to deal with it I don’t want to see fighting Sunset.” Sunset stopped gathering items to look at Twilight. “You and I both know Twilight that there will be some fights.” Twilight couldn’t deny her truth. “Well at least try for me.” Twilight cupped her hooves and leaned into Sunset closely with puppy dog eyes. Sunset couldn’t resist it any longer so she gave into it. “Alright, alright! I’ll try to not fight him.” Twilight bounced up and down then giving her a passionate kiss. Twilight parted away then left the room leaving sunset alone in the kitchen. ‘For you Twilight…’
