One Guard, One Princess

Chapter 1: The Assignment

Flash was eating lunch with his friends in the park. While his friends were talking, Flash's head was in the clouds.

"Okay, we got this all settled." Winny said, "Are you with us Flash?"

He looked up at her. "Umm....what are we talking about?" Flash asked, smiling nervously.

Winny buckheaded herself and Thunderlane laughed quietly. Flash looked to the ground.

"Flash can you please focus, and not have your head in the clouds?" Winny asked.

"Yeah bro, you need to stop daydreaming, about her." Thunderlane smirk.

Flash thought for a minute. He knew who he was talking about. Thunderlane was talking about the new princess, Princess Twilight Sparkle. But ever since they bumped into each other Flash thought about her all the time. He couldn't help it.

"I am not thinking about her." Flash stated.

Winny and Thunderlane looked at each other, then back at Flash. "Are you sure?" Winny asked.

Flash nodded, then he realized what time it was. He had the go back on duty. "Hey, I'll see you later, I have to go on duty."

They all said their good-bye's, and Flash left to go to the Crystal Empire.

While Flash was guarding another guard was trotting towards him. When he in front of Flash, he told him, "The Captain wants to see you in his office."
And with that he trotted away.

While Flash was walking to his Captain's office he wondering, what he did wrong. Finally he got to the door, he paused, took a deep breath, and knocked. He only waited a few moments, when there was a voice on the other side said, "Come in." When Flash entered he saw his Captain sitting in a chair, staring down at him, like a hawk after his prey.

"Please, have a seat Sentry." His Captain told him politely. He close the door, and sat down. His Captain started looking at some papers while saying, "My wife brought something to my attention, and....."

"I'm sorry Captain Armor." Flash interrupted "I didn't mean to do anything wrong." He apologized.

The Captain just looked at him, confused in a way. "Umm... excuse me?" Flash just looked to the ground. "You're not here because you're in trouble." Captain Armor clarified "I want to tell you that you are transferring somewhere else."

'Well that means I'll be farther away from Princess Twilight'. Flash waited to where he was going to transfer to.

"You are going to be a personal guard to one the princesses." Captain Armor told him.

This got Flash confused. "But don't all the princesses have personal guards?" He asked.

"All except one." Captain Armor told him "You are going to be Princess Twilight's guard."

Flash was surprised. He was all like, 'Are you sure you got the right guard?' and 'Is this real?'. But all he could say was, "Yes, Sir."

"Good, just know this." Captain Armor rushed over to him "If she gets hurt, then you will regret it all your life. DO YOU HEAR SENTRY!?!?" He yelled

"Umm... Yes sir." Flash answered, trembling.

"Good, you will be leaving tonight." Captain Armor returned to sitting down. "Now you may go."

Flash left, still trembling, across the office. He went to the door, and left. Once he left, he gathered his stuff and left to go to the train station.
