Finally did it
Flurry flapped her wings, looking into one of the castle windows. Her two victims were sure to pass through the hallway the window was facing, which made this the perfect place to put her plan into action.
"You ready Auntie Rainbow?" the filly asked. "Am I?" Rainbow answered, sitting on top of a black storm cloud that was positioned above the window. "You should see me in action on Nightmare Night! Just tell me when those two walk past, then I'll strike. 'Kay?"
Nodding, Flurry flew a bit lower so that she was barely visible to the ponies inside the castle. I really hope this works... she thought.
Twilight walked through the hallways of the Crystal Castle, accompanied by Flash. "Thanks for having dinner with me Flash," she said. "Thanks for letting me have it with you," Flash replied with a grin.
The two stopped by a window, blissfully unaware of the two ponies outside it, watching their every move. "It's a beautiful night isn't it," Flash said. Twilight nodded, enjoying the beautiful view of the glimmering stars.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, followed by a loud crack. Twilight was taken by shock. She jumped high up, startled. To her surprise, she was caught by Flash.
Twilight looked up, looking deep into Flash's eyes. The stallion did the same thing. The two were lost in each other's gaze, and this time, there weren't any waiters around to interrupt them.
Impulsiveness took over Twilight's mind. She reached her head up and pecked Flash on the cheek. Realizing what she had done, the lavender alicorn scrambled to her hooves. "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me," she furiously apologized.
Flash laughed. "You've got nothing to apologize for Twilight. In fact, I... kind of liked it..." he admitted bashfully. Twilight could only gawk at him, gobsmacked. "You... you did?" she stuttered, looking down. She tried to take deep breaths, but her brain wasn't complying.
Oh my gosh. I actually did it! I kissed Flash! Twilight thought. Wait. That means I actually do like him as somepony more than a friend... Oh dear... What have I gotten myself into?
The panic was evident on her face. Flash gently lifted Twilight's chin with a hoof. "Yes, I did like it," he said. "In fact, I like you Twilight Sparkle. I just wasn't sure if you felt the same way..."
"Well I wasn't sure either, but then the girls said that I did like you, and I found out that Rainbow and Applejack had been taking bets on us, and Rarity and Fluttershy and Starlight and Pinkie sometimes join in as well, and Cadance was very sure that I did like you, but I still wasn't sure, then just now at dinner I started to realize that maybe I did like you, and—"
Twilight's rant was silenced when Flash pressed a kiss to her lips, taking Twilight by surprise. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers. Coming to her senses, Twilight started kissing back. She thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the kiss, knowing very well that she would treasure and remember the moment forever.
After what felt like an eternity, Flash and Twilight finally pulled away. Both ponies were blushing hard. "So Twlight, will you be my marefriend?" Flash asked shyly.
Twilight didn't answer him, but instead gave him another kiss again. "Does that answer your question?" she said, giving him a timid yet coy smile. Flash smiled, wrapping his hooves and wings around Twilight. Twilight gladly returned the hug.
"Aww how cute!" a familiar voice said in the near distance. "Shhh! Pinkie!" said another. Twilight rolled her eyes. She'd recognize those voices anywhere.
"You can come out now girls," she said with a sigh, getting out of her embrace with Flash. Four very guilty ponies emerged from the corner of the hallway. Applejack smirked at Twilight, which made the the princess groan.
"Not. A. Word," she stated. The smirk on Applejack's face only grew. "Wasn't gonna say anything Twi," she said.
Twilight's eyes narrowed when she noticed something strange. "Girls, why are their leaves in your manes?" she asked, pointing to their unkept manes. She glared at her friends when something clicked inside her brain. "There did seem to be an abnormally sized bush outside the window of the restaurant just now... I wasn't imagining things when I heard things, was I?"
The ponies chuckled nervously. "Don't know what you are going on about darling," Rarity said, anxiously patting her frazzled mane. "We were out all day. We just... ran through a bush just now. That's all." Twilight's glare intensified. Wait. That lightening didn't come out of nowhere. There wasn't a cloud in the sky just now! Unless...
"Where are Rainbow and Flurry?" she asked. Her friends avoided her pointed gaze. "Still practicing tricks," Pinkie answered quickly. "At this time of day?" Twilight challenged, raising an eyebrow.
"Did somepony say our names?" Rainbow asked. She and Flurry flew towards the group. Twilight turned her death glare towards the newcomers, making both of them shrink back a bit.
"Rainbow Dash! Just the pony I wanted to see!" Twilight said. Rainbow opened her mouth, but the look Twilight was shooting her silenced the blue pegasus immediately. "So? Did you have fun teaching Flurry how to make and stomp on storm clouds?"
"Twilight, I know it seems bad, but we were only trying to speed things along," Rainbow tried to explain. Twilight's scowl didn't soften. Flash wrapped a wing around his new marefriend. "Relax Twilight," he said soothingly. "They were only trying to help."
Twilight closed her eyes took a deep breath, finally calming down. Sensing the change in her friend's mood, Pinkie deemed it safe enough to reach into her mane and take out a piece of paper.
"So! Let's see who won the how long will it take Twilight to get together with Flash bet!" she chirped. "The what now?" Twilight asked, her eye twitching. Flash rubbed her back reassuringly. He was trying to hold back chuckles of his own.
"Let's see!" Pinkie continued, completely ignoring Twilight. "Rainbow said ten years, Applejack said five, Rarity said two, I said four, and Fluttershy said six! Fluttershy wins! Everypony give her ten bits each later!"
Rainbow Dash grumbled slightly. "Knew I shouldn't have bet ten years," she muttered.
"You bet on how long it would take me to confess as well!" Twilight asked. Her friends nodded. "It did seem like a fun activity," Fluttershy said.
"Don't be sad Auntie Twily," Flurry said. "The whole matchmaking thing was my idea."
The princess of friendship could only sigh. She didn't want to know what other bets her friends had going on. She leaned on Flash a little bit for comfort.
Unfortunately, it was at that moment Shining Armour and Cadance chose to appear in the hallway. Shining immediately noticed the proximity of Twilight and Flash's bodies.
"FLASH SENTRY! TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" he shouted. Flash's and Twilight's eyes widened in fear. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Umm... you see Shining... I'm dating now! Surprise?" Twilight said nervously. Shining glowered, sending Flash a death glare. "I thought I told you Sentry," he growled. "No funny business with my sister. You are now fired. YOU HEARD ME?"
Cadance gave her husband a glare of her own. "And as princess, I hereby overrule Captain Shining Armour's decision to fire Flash Sentry," she said. Shining looked at her pleadingly. "But Twily—"
"No buts," Cadance said firmly. "Honestly. You know Flash! He's a nice pony! Lay off the protective big brother will you?" Shining grumbled. "Fine," he said. "But don't think you're in the clear Sentry. If you hurt one hair of my sister's, you will wish you had been banished to the moon. ARE WE CLEAR?"
Flash stood up straight and saluted, cold sweat dripping off his forehead. "YES SIR!" he said.
Cadance rolled her eyes, then turned her attention to her daughter. "Congratulations honey. Your plan worked," she said. Flurry grinned back at her.
Shining looked back and forth between his wife and daughter. "Wait," he said. "You got them together Flurry?" Flurry gave a nervous giggle. "Maybe?" she said, causing Shining to sigh. He was betrayed by his own daughter. The rest of the group laughed.
"Come on," Applejack said, walking away. "Let's give the lovebirds some space. We can eat something. We haven't had dinner yet after all." Pinkie's stomach grumbled, as if agreeing.
The ponies walked away (Shining Armour was reluctantly dragged off by Cadance and Flurry Heart), and soon, Flash and Twilight were alone once again.
"Care to join me in the library to read a book your highness?" Flash asked with a grin. Twilight giggled. "I would love to, my dear sir," she answered.
Smiling, the new couple walked off to the library. A new chapter in the book of their lives was beginning, and they can't wait to start reading it.

Again, an excellent job on the exchanges, characterizations and future set-up. Definitely appreciated Flash calming Twilight down after that kiss and then the two of them pretty much stating that they, well, didn't know, but at least suspected that their friends were spying on them the entire date.
And, yes, downright adorable ending, thus far.

Thank you for sticking with me till the very end! Really appreciated all your comments from every chapter!
Dang it Pinkie Pie
Oh shoot 😰
Aww this was a pretty nice story and a very adorable one as well so it looks like rainbow and flurry heart have one more idea to give Flash and Twilight a boost so they finally returned to the castle but then a lightning strike scaring Twilight but flash caught her and it looks like they were having a little moment and before he know it Twilight kissed him and Twilight felt a little embarrassed about that but he embraced her because now they finally admitted how much they really love each other but Pinkie Pie had to ruin the moments and she called them out but flurry heart told her that it was her idea but things got a little bit more complicated when Shining Armor and Cadence showed up and he basically went crazy on flash but luckily Cadence restrained him so with that everybody was pretty happy for Twilight and Flash well except for Shining Armor but whatever again this was cute and I've always liked the shipping between them I never understood why people get so upset with that but anyway this was good keep up the good work

You’re welcome
Excellent story just like your last one with the right amount of comedy and seriousness mixed in together. I am a proud Flashlight shipper (both versions, in fact) all the way. And Starburst as well. So this was a good read.
If you don’t mind me asking, what are your pairings for the rest of the Mane 6?
11735874
Thank you! I’m gonna be pairing Pinkie with Cheese and Rainbow with Soarin, but I have absolutely no idea on who I wanna pair the rest of the girls with. Maybe they’ll stay single? I’m trying my best to work on the next fic, which will be about Pinkie and Cheese, but I’m swamped with school work.

I certainly have some ideas if you’re open to suggestions, but I won’t try to force anything.
11736477
I’m always open to suggestions! But please please don’t be offended if I don’t end up using them. 🥺 I feel like I want to create some OCs, but I’m not that great at making up a whole new character (as my sister graciously points out all the time), so I’ll probably stick to in show characters for ships. Regardless, I’d love to know what ideas you have!
11736628
Of course I won’t be offended. This is YOUR work, after all. You decide what happens.
My suggestions are as follows: Applejack with Caramel, Fluttershy with Thunderlane, and of course, Rarity with Spike.
(I also have a headcanon that the Mane 6 of G5 are either distant direct descendants or reincarnations of the old Mane 6.)
11736779
I’ll keep those suggestions in mind!
11723469
That would probably get mixed reviews.
