Green eyes. They bared into him. They glowed as they slowly moved away from him for a split second before returning to him.

"Get away from her," a distorted voice cried from his right. He turned slowly to see Twilight running towards him. "Flash, get away from her."

Suddenly, light spread over them in a fiery green beam. Twilight reached his side, her wings covering her violet eyes. They found his own in a quick fashion. 

"Princess," he coughed. His voice was hoarse as he spoke. "What are you doing?"

Before  he could react, she tackled him to ground. His eyes were wide as she kissed him, almost desperately. Her eyes flashed open. The usual violet irises were a sickly green. She screamed as her hooves covered her eyes. 

"Princess," he shouted as he stood. Suddenly, her purple fur darkened into a black color. Holes crossed through her legs. Her mane and tail turned a disgusting green as did her eyes. "You're a.... a-"

"Flash, help me," she screamed. 

He jumped awake, his wings darting up. What had just happened? He rubbed his eyes with his hooves to wake up fully. He sighed before getting out of bed. Suddenly, the fluttering of papers caught his ears. He jumped, still rushing with adrenaline. Two small letters rested right beside his door. It must be their answering, he thought. He grabbed them and quickly tore one open. 

Dear Flash Sentry,

I can not believe you. After ignoring me for so many years, you think you can just write me a letter and have me at your hoof... And you would be right. I'm coming down from Cloudsdale this week so I can stop by. See you soon!

Sincerely, Silverdrop

He grinned. Of course, she would be dramatic and jocose. Thankfully, she was at his side. She was always interested in an adventure. He placed it down and tore open the second letter.

Dear Flash Sentry, 

You know me too well. I'm in for an adventure!

Awesomely, Storm Breeze

He rolled his eyes at the simple letter. His two best friends were coming. And his dream made him have a hunch.
