> Personal Guard > by sapphiremelody > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1.Twilight: The Visit > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!,"Spike shouted. "Whaaaaat," I whined, my wings shooting upward but then folding again. "Cadance, Luna, and Celestia are coming," Spike explained and showed the letter. I grabbed it and surfed around the words until I read the last words which were we'll be coming in three day times which was...I looked at the calendar. TODAY! NO, NO ,NO!" I shouted and flew out the room like a bullet, levitating my checklist to speed with me. I was about to look at the first step but then my vision became black. I woke up again to find Spike (normal), a orange pegasus with wild blue hair (probably a pony who has a problem), and the PRINCESSES? I turned my head despite the pain to see that the pegasus was dressed in a golden chest place. "W-wh-what happened," was all I managed to speak. "You flew into a wall and got knocked out cause you know crystals,"Spike explained as the guard obviously stifled a laugh. That little airhead I gently flew out of bed. "Yeah how funny, how about you do it." "Twilight!" Cadance interrupted blocking the pegasus by giving me a hug like always. "Sunshine! Sunshine! Ladybugs awake! Clap your hoofs, and do a little shake!" We both exclaimed doing the dance with it. I looked up to the pegasus about to burst out in laughter. I stink eyed him and greeted Luna and Celestia. "IT IS VERY NICE TO SEE YOU TWILIGHT!" Luna shouted in her Canterlot voice blowing my mane all around. "You too Luna," I replied smoothing my mane. "Your majesty," I bowed as I greeted Celestia. "Oh Twilight ," Celestia chuckled. "You're now a princess, you don't need to call us your majesty,"Celestia explained starting to walk to the exit with the princesses following her. I galloped behind them to be blocked by the airhead. "Hey watch it!" I warned him my horn glowing to add to the tension. "I understand your majesty, Flash Sentry," Flash replied as he bowed but I could see that he did that on purpose. " Whats your problem? You laugh at my every move and you decide to shove me," I asked. "Well my girlfriend lost everything because of your petty friend," Flash replied and walked out the room. Huh, who could his girlfriend be? Trixie? No she's now good and I stood her up. Well then who else? Whatever. I can't let that airhead stop me from ruining my tour my new castle. With a bright smile I took the princesses around the castle. But with every step I could feel the pain in my head pounding and my wings getting tired. Finally the tour ended. "Bye," I spoke waving my tired hoof as I watched them fly to the sunset. "Hey you okay?" Spike asked grabbing my hoof to lead me to my bedroom. " Yeah, just tired," I admitted and walked to my room. I looked into my mirror to see what kind of mess was I right now. My eyes were looking like a raccoon's. My mane was standing at one end and my tail was completely frizzed up. With a pounding head and slow steps, I made it to my bed and fell on it, going to sleep as fast as light (186,282.4 miles per second :twilight sheepish:) > 2. Suri: Goodbyes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ugh," I grunted as I shoved my purple curls out of my face. I looked the soft fabric in my hands. Stupid Rarity with her magic and "friends". I have talent and the power to persuade people easily like this fabric from Hoity Toity's new collection (did I mention I had friends with benefits). "Suri, I'm here!" my boyfriend shouted. He's perfect, her little lapdog with so many benefits did she mention he was handsome and romantic. "I'm in my work room," I replied ,coming out of my work room while fixing my hair. Flash smiled his nice warm smile and looked around my house. Its obvious he liked my house I mean who wouldn't. But something about his gaze at my house felt off. There was a sad twinkle in his eye like he'll never see it again. "Flash?" I asked coming closer making my warm smile which always calms him down. "I have to move to Ponyville tomorrow morning ," he announced sitting down on the closest chair and putting his head in his hooves. "What?" I spoke as my smile became a frantic face. FLASH IS LEAVING! I can't serve Canterlot's highest. I can't go to the top restaurants in the Crystal Empire. I can't do top anything (in the Crystal Empire my new home)! "The princesses want me to be the personal guard for Princess Twilight," Flash explained giving me one of his pout faces. He is so childish sometimes. Can't he see that he can ruin Rarity's dresses for me. Whatever he would be too dumb to remember. "You need some cinnamon roll for I guess I last night together before you leave to that show off Twilight's castle?" I asked kissing him on his cheek. "That would be nice with extra frosting please," Flash answered smiling a little. "Oh Suri if only I could stay," Flash announced as we nuzzled at my doorway. I grabbed my scarf (made by myself) and walked outside. "Well we can walk home can we," I announced giving him a warm smile. Flash just smiled back and we walked together across the sparkling Crystal Empire. Finally we got to his house. Silently we stared at each other eye to eye before he did it. He kissed me. Flash walked into his house and gave me a warm smile and shut the door. Dummy. > 3.Flash: New Job > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was finally the day I dreaded. The 1st day for my new job. I mean Suri makes her sound like the bossy princess of showing off and after that scene today I'm taking Suri's word for it. My new house is comfy actually reminds me of the Crystal Empire. My 1st day in Ponyville was unexpected I sat for a minute in my bed when I woke up to review the day before. Yesterday it was like a puzzle. Pinkie Pie who Suri called a freak of partying welcomed and actually super nice but crazy in a good way. I luckily was able not to meet Rarity or the others but instead got a tour around the main attractions of Ponyville so with a heavy bag of cakes from the bakery (I have a giant sweet tooth) I finally go to my house and fell asleep on my bed without taking off my armor or pulling up the sheets. I groaned and rolled out of my bed. I gently flew to the dresser and barely brushed my mane and then put my helmet on. I ran out the door grabbing the letter to Twilight (shudder) about me working there (I rather become roommates with Tirek in Tarturus). I flew off, flying high in the sky. The wind in my feathers. The speed pulsing in my veins. If you want to be a castle guard you gotta be fast (especially if the castle gets attacked) and I live for speed. Finally I got to the castle. I abruptly stopped and fluttered straight down to hear a crowd whisper behind me. I knocked on the door and hear some scuffling noises and looked down to see the dragon (Spike I think) open the door. "Ugh what do you want? Twilight told me everything that happened when you were her," Spike skeptically asked. " I'm here to help," I cheerfully faked, my words a little muffled cause of the letter in my mouth. "SPIKE!!" I heard Twilight shout. She galloped down the stairs, her (maybe) to-do list levitating beside her. "What do you want?" she asked giving me a look that said I'm not happy you're here. I handed her the letter and swiftly with her magic, she opened the envelope up and tugged the letter out. Her eyes sped across the text as she read the note quietly. Twilight folded the note again and stuffed it in the envelope. "Okay. The past is in the past. Welcome!," She spoke her "look" easing to a relaxed smile. Her smile actually looked pretty. Maybe I should've been nicer. Wait! Stop Flash! Just do your job remember Suri! Remember Suri! "Thank you Princess Twilight, what shall I do for you," I replied in the most serious tone possible. Twilight can't trick me. Not today! Not EVER! "Ummm... Spike any ideas?" Twilight replied shrugging to Spike. Maybe she isn't such a know it all after all. But don't take chances. "I maybe have an idea," he slyly replied looking at me with a look I don't like. "So the whole castle," I answered angrily. "Yup,now I gotta send some letters to the princesses and prepare the lunch" Spike replied and left as I...started mopping the whole castle. I think Spike doesn't like me. Wait did he say prepare lunch for probably Rarity and the others. Well...this is just great. I try thinking about the positives but Suri says they're just show offs but what happens if my own girlfriend is the mean one. Things better start shaping up or else.
