"It's only for three weeks,honey!" Cadence replied, casually."He needs it!"Shining shook his head no. "I am not losing one of my best guards because some, dumb vacation, Cadence!" He angrily replied, as he sat down on there bed. "Shiny, pwease!" Cadence asked, in a baby voice. "Don't you, Shiny, me!" Shining replied, which made Cadence droop her head down, and sigh. "Can I at least tell you why I let him go on a three day vaca?" She asked. Shining sighed. " Go ahead. " He replied, grumpily. Cadence explained how Flash wasn't acting himself for a while, how he always looked so tired, and how he had nightmares at night about his past.All the way through, Shining nodded. "So can he please be able to have some free time?" Cadence asked, begging him.He gave her a stern look In the eye, then set his head down. "Fine." Cadence smiled, and hugged him tight. " Um, cant...breath! " Cadence gasped, and let go of her husband, who was gasping for air. " Sorry!" She chuckled. Shining smiled. " I'm not going to forgive you that easily, Cadence! "He said, playfully. "Why not? Is there at least one way to make you forgive me?" She asked, sitting down next to him.A smirk went on his face. "Yes, there is a way." "And what is that?"Shining chuckled, then pushed her down flat on the bed. " Does this, answer your question?" He asked, chuckling. " I dont know ,maybe you should.... show me?" Cadence asked, as a blush faded on to her cheeks. Shining's smile only grew bigger. *Meanwhile...* Flash stood at the train station, his belongings in the saddlebag that sat on his back, with his cutiemark on it.He waited for the train, just like fifteen other ponies. For some reason, he felt as if he was being watched by one of them. He shook the feeling off of his shoulders, and waited, patiently. "Hey! Where's the Train!?" A light blue grey pegasi colt asked."I've been waiting for an hour!" Flash raised an eyebrow by what he said. *I was here before him, and it's been twenty minutes. Not even!* "Swift Breeze, clam your mouth shut!" A unicorn colt, with a red coat and a black and blue mane and tail mummbled. "Make me, slut!" As soon. As the last word came out, everypony, except for Flash, gasped. The red colts eyes widened with anger. "What the hell did you call me!?"He asked, angrily. " A slut! Why? Can't handle the truth, mommas colt?" Cooes rang out.The unicorn pony walked up to Swift Breeze, close, so close, there muzzles almost touched. "Better watch your tongue, before I cut it out of your throat!" Swift Breeze snorted. "Try me!" As soon as the words came out of him, five of the ponies that stood waiting jumped on him, one of which was a white unicorn colt.His blue aurora of magic pulled out Swift's tongue, which struggled to get back into his mouth. "Your gonna regret those words, chump!"A knife floated into the air, and swooped down tword Swifts tongue. Before it could cut him, a certain blue haired light orange pegasi quickly pushed the unicorn down. "Knock it off!"He yelled. All the ponies that were on Swift quickly came off.He stood up, and smiled at Flash. "Hey! Mind your bloody business!" A green unicorn said to him. "Im glad I didnt, because," Flash picked up the knife with his hoof, carefully not touching the metal blade."It wouldn't be very pretty." Before anything else could happen, the screeching of a train echoed threw out the station. The train stopped in front of the fellow ponies. "All abored!" Swift sighed in relief, and walked up to Flash. "Thanks." Flash smiled at him. " Your welcome." The two walked into the train, side by side. "What's your name, and nickname?" Swift asked. "Flash Sentry, but I am recalled as Flash." Swift smiled. "The names Swift Breeze, but I go by,'SUPER AWESOME BAD ASS MOTHA FUCKA!" Flash put a hoof over his mouth. "Are you trying to get your tongue cut off!?" He asked.Swift rolled his eyes."I'll just call you Swift." He said, chuckling. He took his hoof of Swift's mouth. "Fine. You can call me,'Swift!' Even though that's a lame nickname." The two sat down in a seat, next to each other."Where you going? " He asked. "Canterlot." Swift gasped. "No way! So am I!"He then spit in his hoof, and extended it tword Flash."Friends?" Flash hesitated. "C'mon! You know you wanna shake it!" Flash rolled his eyes, spit in his own hoof, and shook."Glad to have a fellow matey on the ship!"He said, with a pirate voice. Flash chuckled. " Glad to be here!" He replied. That's when the feeling of being watched again. He looked behind Swift, who raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong?"He asked. Flash didn't reply. His eyes widened when he realized, he was being watched, by a black unicorn colt, with cyan eyes. Neither of them broke the stare. "Flash!" He looked at Swift,who had a concerned look in his eyes. " You okay?" He nodded,and looked back at the unicorn. His eyes widened.The unicorn, was gone.
