//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Secret in Canterlot // by Bella1365 Cooler //------------------------------// Eight years..... Eight fucking years since I've seen her alive. She's dead........ And I'm never gonna see her again. Celestia, Damnit!All because of my fucking action she's fucking dead! Flash angrily thought to himself.He was alone again in the guest room, since Silver had gone downstairs to make breakfast. He lied down on the bed, scowling, and trying not to scream in anger, but at the same time, he wanted the tears to fall from his eyes, but he held the feelings in. He held it all in. The anger, the sadness, everything, as long as he could, at least until Silver Pearl announced that breakfast was ready. "Why can't I just fucking die already?! Why do I have to live in this, cruel world?" He groaned, and put a hoof on his face. There was then a knock at his door."Yes, Silver?" "It's......not Silver. It's me........ Amber." His eyes widened."C-Can I come in?" Flash got up, and quickly opened the door for her. She had saddened eyes as she looked up at Flash. "Ya... You can... Come in." Amber entered the room, and sat on the bed,while Flash closed the door, and sat next to her."So.... Why did you want to come in? Not to be, rude or anything." She only sighed. "I... Couldn't really, sleep last night." Flash raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" "What I mean.. Is, I couldn't sleep last night. I probably stayed up the whole night." "Why?" Amber sighed, and looked away. "Hey. You Oka-" Flash stopped himself, after thinking about last night. "No, I'm not okay." Flash looked at her with conserned eyes. "Then.... What wrong, if you don't.... Mind me asking." He rubbed his neck and looked away.Amber put a hoof on her cheek. "It's..... About last night." Flash looked at her, wide eyed."I was acting like I was bipolar." Flash snorted, trying to not laugh at what she said,which made Amber roll her eyes." Im being serious. In conclusion, I'm sorry for all the things I said, especially the way I ended it. It wasn't right for me to curse, or say hurtful things to you. I was just, ticked off." Flash Put a wing around her. "What you said, last night, you..... were right. I should have sent you a letter, or something. I wasn't thinking, for two damn years."He looked away from her."I'm sorry."Amber put wrapped her hoofs around his arm, since he was so much bigger then her. "Don't be. It's not your fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you, or curse, or anything else I did. I should have been grateful that you were back. I'm such an idiot." "No your not." Flash put his head on top of hers. "You are the smartest filly I know, so don't lie. " "Flash, I'm basically the only filly you know!" Flash chuckled. "Fine. Your the smartest, mare I know." Amber's eyes widened at the word, mare. A big smile appeared on her face. "You got that right, five year old." Flash looked at her with an annoyed glance, then smiled. "If I'm five, your one hundred years older then me." Amber scowled, and pushed him to the side."Not. Cool." Flash pushed her back with his elbow. The two pushed each other, trying to push the other off,, until finally, Flash fell off the bed."Hey! You cheated!" Amber just stuck her tongue out at him. "What's wrong, are you being a sore loser?" She asked, in a baby voice, which made Flash scowl. "Brat!" He yelled as he hit her with a pillow. "Hey!" She threw the pillow back at him. That's when the pillow war broke out. Meanwhile in Ponyville "Um... Pinkie? Are you sure she didn't just faint?" The yellow pegasi asked. It had been ten minutes since Twilight had fainted, "Weeeeeell, I'm not really sure, Flutters. She just fell unconscious after I told her about her friend that works for the royal guards in The Crystal Empire." Rarity raised an eyebrow. "Wouldn that be her brother, Deary?" She asked, while pulling out some makeup from her violet bag with her magic. Pinkie shook her head. "I was talking about Flash Sentry." Everyponies eyes widened. "Well no wonder why she fainted! We all know she has a big crush on him, or the human him, but still! And the fact that we're going to the Crystal Empire, most likely means that we are going to bump into him." Rarity implied. Rainbow Dash, who sat next to Applejack in Twilight's room, giggled. "Don't you mean, Twilight bumping into him, and the rest of us just standing there and giggling like idiots?" She chuckled, soon everypony else did the same, soon followed by both her and Applejack slapping each other's hooves,which made Twilight groan. "Thats not the reason why I fainted." She got up on all fours, and looked at her friends, who only gave her a smile. "Suuuuuuuuure." Applejack chuckled. "Then, why did you faint?" Twilight sighed. "I fainted because Pinkie told me that we were going to two places, and I haven't seen my brother or sister, for a long time, or, have I been in the portal, and seen, the other you's, or Sunset,or........Flash." She sighed, tears filling her eyes as the memories flashed back to her. "Oh, you poor thing!" Fluttershy walked up to her, and hugged her, soon followed by everypony else. "Twilight,we know..... You haven't been in that portal, but.....you have us! The, pony version of us." Applejack softly told Twilight, who sighed.The six friends seperated. "I guess your right....." Twilight's eyes widened. "Oh Celestia! I need to start packing I-" "We already did that for you." Rainbow boredly replied, which made Applejack roll her eyes. "In translation, me, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie packed, while mrs. Wannabe wonderbolt was sitting on her pegasi ass, reading a daring do book, as usual." Twilight couldn't help but chuckle. "Hey! It's not my fault! There good books, very good books." Rainbow patted her latest daring do book.Twilight nodded. She couldn't lie about the Daring Do books being very eye catching. "Wait a minute...... What time is it?" "About time to be heading of to the train!" Applejack replied, as she gave Twilight her bag. Everypony, and dragon, walked out of the room, except for Twilight, who quickly looked under the covers for her book, but it was gone. Somepony had taken it from her. "The hell-" "I already put the book in the bag for Ya, Twi." Twilight spun her head around to see Rainbow, in the middle of the doorway, smiling. Twilight trotted up to her friend, and gave her a hug. "Thank you." Rainbow hugged back, smiling. Twilight then let go of her friend, eyes widened."Wait a minute.... Did you read any of it? Did you tell anypony else about it?! Did you-" " No , no, and don't worry. Besides, I only read Daring Do books." Twilight smiled at her words, which Rainbow soon gave back. " Well, we better go,before the others get suspicious!" With that, the two walked out the door, and out of the castle, to there first stop in vacation, Canterlot.
