Rarity asked both Rainbow Dash and Twilight as soon as they arrived at the train station, where the rest of their friends were waiting. Applejack only chuckled. "I'm tellin' Ya Rars,their having to much fun in that bedroom of Twilight's!" Rainbow scowled. "THATS NOT WE WERE DOING!!!" She shouted, making Applejack chuckle. "Calm your feathers, Rainbow! I was just kiddin with Ya!" Rainbow rolled her eyes, and looked at Twilight, who was rubbing the back of her head with her hoof, blushing in embarrassment. "Seriously though, what took you two so long?"Rainbow was about to say something, when Twilight blurted in. "I was trying to find something, so Rainbow Dash offered to help me find it!"Rainbow smiled, as she nudged her wing onto Twilight's shoulder. "Ya, this egg head over here is kinda blind, so of course, I had to help her." Rarity rolled her eyes, followed by AJ. That's when the train finally arrived. "All aboard!" The conductor shouted. Everypony walked into the train, and sat in their seat that they chose. Twilight sat in a seat nearest to the window, soon followed by Rainbow Dash, which made Applejack chuckle.Rainbow made a low groan, while Twilight just rolled her eyes and looked out the window,as the train rode to its next stop:Canterlot. Canterlot Feathers. Everywhere. That's the only thing Flash could see besides the purple ceiling, since he was lying flat on the ground, next to Amber,both huffing and puffing after the one hour pillow fight they had,still waiting for breakfast.Flash then turned his head twords Amber.She looked as if she was ready to fall asleep.Her eyes were half open,threatening to fall shut, but she kept opening at full length,attempting to remain awake, but eventually, failed, as she fell into sleep.Flash only smiled. She looks so cute when she's sleeping. Flash's breathing slowly returned to its regular pace, as he started to stand up.He picked Amber up, and placed her on his left shoulder,one hoof over her back to make sure she didn't fall. He then, slowly, made his way to her dark purple bed, and placed her down on the Black and magenta striped sheets, and tucked her in to her warm purple blanket. Sweet dreams, kiddo.With that, he walked off twords the door. "Where....are you going?" Flash stopped, and turned his head around to see Amber's head up, eyes opened half way, looking at him with a confused look. Flash turned his whole body around, and smiled. "Back to my room, why?" Amber pouted. "Could you stay.... Until, I'm fully asleep?" She asked, yawning. Flash's mouth opened, as if he was going to object, but his mind prevented him from doing so. YOU IDIOT!Dont you dare object to that sweet little fillie! I swear to hell I will make you kill yourself! Besides, don't you remember what happened to Ripple?!?! His eyes widened when he heard his name, and put his head down.Ripple.....How could I forget the colt who had big dreams, who turned into a stallion who turned cold on everyone? He sighed as he looked back up at Amber. A smile grew over his face as he walked over to her, and lied down next to the sleepy fillie. "Thank you...." She smiled, making Flash chuckle. "Anything for my little filly." He whispered back, as he closed his eyes, and put his head over her shoulder Anything.........and everything, for you... On the train What if I do see them again? W-will they be angered at me for not coming back for two years, o-or will they just ignore me?! Or- DONT THINK LIKE THAT! Your mirror friends will be fine! Like Sunset Shimmer said in her last note to me, their all fine, though that was two years ago.... Maybe I should just, go back to Ponyville, a-and activate the portal and- No! Your pony friends need you right now!Your being so selfish! Remember what your friends taught you! They need you Twi,they need you, more than anything.....especially right now, in this time age, the world is going more crazy then ever. My mirror friends will be fine, they don't need me anymore, after all,they have the mirror me now..... They wouldn't care the slightest bit about me, but I'm going to miss them....especially...Flash. Her teeth clenched, as she tried as hard as she could, to not let the tears in her eyes to fall. She didn't want to tell her friends that she missed their mirrors selves, and Sunset Shimmer. She didn't want them to feel betrayed, and think that she was being selfish for not thinking about her pony friends.Thats when she finally realized, something wet was slowly sliding down both of her cheeks.Her eyes widened when she realized what it was. H-have I been, Crying? She gently pressed her hoof onto her cheek, and felt the hot tears that had rolled down her cheeks,to her neck,and dropped onto the seat she sat on. That's when she couldn't take it anymore, and let the tears fall, not letting a sob out of her mouth to alert anyone on the train.She then felt a wing gently, cover her back.Her mouth gaped open, as she turned her head around to see Rainbow Dash, looking at her with concerned eyes.Twilight's mouth shut, as she smiled to reasure her friend, who soon smiled back. They might need me, but I need them more.... Back In Canterlot Finally......done! After two in a half hours, the pancakes are ready. Silver hummed to herself, as she placed the pancakes down on the table. That's when she realized, something was off. Earlier, she heard giggling, and laughing, but now.... It was completely quiet. Somethings.......not right.Maybe they both, slept in? That's when her eyes widened, as she looked up at the stairs.Thats when the memories of the fire came into her head, the screams Amber had made, and all the blood that was shed. He did all that. Before he got arrested, his finally words, came back into her head. 'You may have survived..... But as soon as I get out of jail, I'll make your life turn into living hell!' oh no...... She ran up the stairs as fast as she could, and checked in the guest room, where Flash was sleeping in, earlier. Nothing. More fear ran down her spine. It was as if she could feel his cold breath down her neck. She ran of that room, and ran into Amber's. Her eyes softened when she saw both Amber and Flash, sleeping together."Thank goodness...." She slowly walked over to them, and smiled. They look so cute together! She managed to hold back a squeal from the cuteness she saw. She kissed Amber's forehead, then looked at Flash. She lifted up her hoof, and slowly, inch it closer to his nose. "Silver," Flash groaned as he opened both eyes, and scowled at her,"I swear to god, If you boop my nose,I will fucking go,World War Z on that ass of yours!" Silver only rolled her eyes. "Go ahead, get yourself killed!" She chuckled. "You two are sooooo-" "Stfu, leave me alone, leave this room, before I go World Wa-" "Okay! Okay! I get it! I'm leaving! God, your so grumpy when your tired." "Probably because, I'm trying to get some sleep over here, and somepony, is trying to freakin, boop my nose!" Silver chuckled, as she left the room. Typical Flash Sentry!
