Twilight Should be dating MY OC!

Chapter 1

Twilight Sparkle was pacing around while talking to her little dragon friend, Spike. He had a long list in front of him with a quill in his hand as he was crossing things off as Twilight spoke. Twilight had a big day ahead of her and needed many things to be taken care of. She was about to see her sister-in-law, Princess Cadence, about royal duties for the next few days.

“Alright, Spike,” she said, “Do we have all the documents we’ve gone over for the Royal Equestrian Summit?”

“We sure do.” Spike said proudly, showing her the list. “Everything from A to Z, your highness!”

“Well we should probably do a quick check. We want to be sure we have everything ready.” said Twilight.

“Aw, but Twilight, we’ve checked like three times now!” he said, disappointedly.

“This summit is very important, Spike.” she reminded. “Just one little screw-up, and I could look really bad in front of Princess Celestia and all the other constituents who will be presiding over this event.”

“Alright, fine.” he grumbled.

Suddenly, the door opened and several royal guards walked in to the sound of trumpets playing behind them. The orange pegasus guard with blue hair named Flash Sentry walked forward to introduce Princess Cadence.

“Introducing, her royal highness, Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire.” he said.

Twilight stared for a moment at Flash. It had been several years now since she first met him back when she entered the magical mirror that transported her to the world where she and all who lived in it took on a strange new form known as “human”. She met Flash Sentry in that world and developed a crush on him. The biggest difference between the two was that the one she met in the other world was a high-school student who played guitar but the one in her world worked as a royal guard for the Crystal Empire. Despite the fact that she took on the same form as him, she felt odd having a crush on a different creature from another world so perhaps it was time to move on from that Flash. This Flash, however, was a pony just like her and she couldn’t help but think about him. No doubt they had similar personalities, but she sadly never got to speak to this Flash since he was always busy doing his duty as a guard and he lived far away. She had seen him several times before but they never really got to speak to one another at all. Just a few glances here and there. She continued staring at him so much, she almost forgot about her sister-in-law.

“Twilight?” said Cadence.

“OH! Um, Cadence, good to see you!” said Twilight hugging her around the neck.

They then both crouched down and started dancing around to perform the dance Cadence had taught Twilight since she was a filly.

“Sunshine, sunshine! Ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!”

They giggled delightfully as Spike rolled his eyes. Flash could even be seen snickering a bit until one of his fellow guards tapped him with their wings and he wiped away his smile and straightened up.

“I’m so glad we get to work together for this summit, Twilight!” said Cadence. “It’s so hard preparing for these things in the Crystal Empire, but I’m so happy to be here with my favorite little sister-in-law!”

“I’m excited too, Cadence!” Twilight replied happily. “Spike, never mind the checklist. We’ve done enough. I’d like to take a little time to settle in with my sister-in-law.”

“Phew! Saved by the bell!” said Spike, rolling up the long list into a scroll and sticking the quill inside it.

“Now could you show Cadence to her suite?” Twilight continued.

“You’ve got it, Twilight!” Spiked responded.

Spike walked off with Cadence following close behind along with several of her guards. Twilight looked back to them and started to walk forward until she felt herself bump into another pony.

“Whoops, my bad.” said Flash.

“Oh dear! I’m so sorry, Mr. Sentry! I should have looked where I was going.” Twilight said, shocked.

“It’s alright, your highness. Gosh, it’s almost like all we’re good at is bumping into each other, isn’t it.” Flash replied to her.

“Hehehe, yeah, bumping into each other….hehehe…” Twilight continued laughing nervously as her face turned beet red and she moved her hoof around on the floor.

“Say, if you don’t mind me asking, how exactly do you know my name?” Flash asked her.

Twilight’s ears suddenly perked up and her eyes widened. She had just realized she used his last name and he was not aware she had met his human counterpart.

“Oh…um…you know, Cadence told me…hehe…” Twilight’s eyes darted back and forth till she swallowed and then just told Flash the truth. “Actually, Flash, to be honest……well, you and I sort of already met, but……it happened in another world.”

“Um……I’m not sure I follow.”

“Like……okay, you know that mirror in the Crystal Empire that you guys have to guard a lot?”

“Yeah?”

“It was in that mirror. It leads to another world. You were in there but you were a human. They’re like how we look but they kinda almost resemble primates cuz they have digitals but they stand upright on their hind legs all the time and they have tiny noses and no tails and a bunch of other stuff. Follow any of that?”

“Soooo……you met me but in another world beyond the mirror and I looked different?”

“Yep. Pretty weird, I know. Eheheh.”

“I knew there was something special about that mirror we guard. Wow, they just don’t tell us these things anymore.”

Twilight continued blushing and moving her hoof around on the ground not knowing what to say in response. Since she was finally starting to talk to the stallion she admired, she was at a loss for words. Flash stood there expecting her to say something but started getting nervous himself and felt awkward as time went on. He finally spoke up.

“Well, I mean, was I nice to you in that world?” he asked.

“Oh, well of course! I mean I certainly thought so. Like you were really nice and handsome and…er…well of course you were handsome, I mean…not like…um…not saying you aren’t handsome or something just……eheheh…”

The redness on Twilight’s cheeks only grew redder and her smile grew bigger. She had no idea what to do now. Flash, on the other hand could see exactly what was going on and did his best to keep things from getting weirder.

“Well thank you, your highness.” he said, smiling warmly. “I don’t get compliments like that so often from royalty.”

“Oh, well that’s a shame really. I mean does being a royal guard really take it out of ya?”

“Definitely, but hey, it puts bread on the table and it’s an important job and, well, I always feel good when I’m protecting others.”

“I’m glad to hear you enjoy it, Flash. I’m sure Cadence really appreciates all you do for the Crystal Empire too. So, you guys are all staying in the castle here while the summit is underway then?”

“That’s about the size of it, your highness. I think I’ll adjust to this place rather nicely since it reminds me an awful lot of the castle in the Crystal Empire. A crystal castle right here in little old Ponyville is the perfect place for me and the boys to stay at.”

“I hope you like it here then. By the way, you can just call me Twilight, just like all my friends do. ‘Your highness’ kinda sounds a bit……weird sometimes. Hehehe…”

“My apologies, your high…I mean, Twilight.”

“Hehehe…”

They both stared at each other for what seemed like an hour smiling with their cheeks all rosy till their eyes parted and just seemed to wander off in whatever direction they could find. Twilight then spoke up feeling perhaps she had already made herself look silly enough.

“Well, I should probably go get ready for the summit.” she said. “You make yourself at home here and let me know if there’s anything you need, alrighty?”

“I’ll be sure. Thanks Twilight. Nice talking to you.” Flash replied as he took of his helmet and began walking off in the direction some of the other guards had gone to find his room to stay in.

Twilight watched Flash walk off and continued to smile but couldn’t help but chastise herself for how she handled it.

“Darnit, Twilight, what was that!?” she said quietly through her teeth. “’Your highness sounds weird?’ He probably thought I was insulting him or something! I could have handled that better…”

“Still crushing on the new guy, are we?” said Cadence from behind.

“WHAT?! Oh, Cadence?! Um…naw, I wouldn’t say crushing, just…you know, like, admiring from a distance? If that makes sense…”

“Twilight, I had the biggest crush on your brother in high school; I know exactly what you’re going through.” Cadence teased.

Twilight sighed.

“You’re right.” she said. “I met him in the world beyond the mirror and he was a really nice guy. It just felt so weird because he wasn’t the same species as me so I kind of had to just let it be. Plus, according to the letters I’ve been getting from Sunset Shimmer, he actually seems to like her again. I never really got to talk to this Flash and he seems just as nice.”

“Well, why don’t you tell him how you feel?” Cadence said, nudging her sister-in-law.

“Eh…I dunno, Cadence. I dunno if I can brave it up enough.”

Cadence giggled and started walking back to her room in the castle.

“It’s going to be alright, Twilight. We all have to overcome a crush at some point in our lives. I’m sure things will work out fine between you and Flash if you let it.”

“Thanks, Cadence. I just hope this doesn’t affect my performance tomorrow at the summit.”

Later that night, Twilight was pacing around inside her bedroom going over some notes she had prepared for the summit. She had just finished practicing her speech a third time and was finally satisfied and ready for tomorrow.

“Well, I guess that’s enough practice for now. Guess I’m ready for that summit!” she told herself confidently.

“Well, well, well, seems somepony still can’t get over Flash, eh?” said Spike, walking in and teasing Twilight.

“Spike! It’s…it’s not what it looks like, alright!” she scolded him.

“Come on, Twilight, you’re making it so obvious! I’m sure he’s already aware you really like him. Why don’t you talk to him more?”

“I don’t know what he’ll think of me. I don’t know if I should do it. He’s a guard and I’m a princess…”

“Um…Twilight, you realize Shining Armor was a guard and Cadence was a princess too, right?”

“They started dating in high school, Spike. It’s not the same. I just get so scared when I talk to him. I probably looked so weird down there when we had our first real conversation.”

“What if Flash really likes you too though?”

“Well, that would be nice. I wouldn’t mind being with him but I’m not sure I want to go through all the trouble. I should probably just focus on all the princess duties I have.”

Twilight jumped into bed and covered herself with her blanket.

“Well, sweet dreams, Juliet.” Spike whispered softly as he crawled into his little bed nearby.

While she was trying to fall asleep, Twilight could not stop thinking about Flash but could also not get over the thought that she probably was in over her head.

“Maybe I should just leave Flash be.” she thought. “He’s nice and all but I just don’t know if it’s going to work out. I don’t even know if he likes me back. You’ll be fine, Twilight. You’ll be fine. Ah…but I still wouldn’t mind having a stallion someday. I’ll just wait. I’ll wait till one day I find the perfect stallion who comes my way…”

Elsewhere down the hallway, in a guestroom in the castle, Flash could not stop thinking about Twilight either. The first encounter he had with her had already left him wanting to get to know her better.

“Twilight sure is a pretty mare. She seems quite shy but all I gotta do is just let her know it’s alright. Maybe if I talk to her a bit more and am there for her it will work. I’ll try it. She just might be the one…”

Flash nestled into his warm bed with a smile on his face though he would have a hard time falling asleep as he could not get his mind off Twilight.

“Well, I’m definitely crushing for sure.” he laughed.
