> True love 2 > by GRYFFINDOR123456 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Previously… > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previously Flash and I laughed. He held me, as we walked out together. We got into the car. I took off the mask and placed it in my satchel, and got out my keys. “Hey, Flash,” I said. “I-I want to ask you. Will you stay with me the night?” “Let me just check with my dad,” said Flash. Flash was texting. “He said yes. Why?” “I don’t want to have a nightmare about Gilda,” I said. “It’s just in case I have a nightmare. At least I know I have someone to comfort me.” Flash kissed me. “Hey, do you wanna have you know what together?” “Sex?” I replied. “I dunno. I don’t think I could live without you, Flash. You were always there when I was troubled. So yes.” “Finally, I know we said in a few years, but we have been dating a year or so. Sunset, I love you. Will you marry me?” he asked. “Yes,” I said. “Of course.” I drove off back to my apartment. > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash put his head against my shoulder as I drove off into the night, back to my apartment. I parked outside, helping him out. We walked up the stairs, to the top of the flat. I collapsed onto my bed. Flash helped me get undressed and he pulled on a pair of pyjamas for me. He then got into a pair of pyjamas and placed me in bed. He slid into bed, switching off the bedside lamp. “G'night,” he whispered. I was snoring. I suddenly woke up, sweating violently, panting. Flash switched on the light. “What?” he asked. “A nightmare,” I said. “Gilda came up behind me and stabbed me!” I whimpered. Flash sighed. “Do you want a glass of water?” he asked. I nodded. Flash got out of bed. He walked into the kitchen, filled up a glass of water and walked back to the bedroom, handing me the glass of water. I drank it. “Can I take my pyjama bottoms off?” I asked. “I feel a bit hot.” I took off my pyjama bottoms and chucked them onto a chair. Flash smiled. He took off his bums and chucked them on top of my bums. He switched off the light. I snuggled next to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders. > phantom of the opera pt 1(preparation) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Flash and I woke up early. I hurried into my regular clothes, an orange t-shirt with my cutie mark(a swirling sun in the shape of the yin-yang), a leather spiked gilet, a pink mini skirt and a pair of short, black boots with different coloured studs on them. Flash wore a pair of blue jeans, black trainers with a streak of white, a white t-shirt embossed with his cutie mark(a blue shield surrounding a lightning bolt) and a black jacket. Flash smiled, kissing me on the cheek. I blushed a bright red. He swung his backpack onto his back. I put the satchel over my shoulder. We hurried out of the apartment. Rarity, Flash and I caught the bus to Manehattan, where all the big shows were. We hurried into the side door, leading into the theatre. “Ah, there you are,” said a voice. Juniper. “2 hours before the show.” I smiled. Rarity and I went into our dressing room. I went behind a screen, pulling off my clothes. I pulled on a white shirt, a black tie, a smart black tuxedo, and a hunched jacket. Rarity led me to a chair, pulled out some facial wipes and wiped my face. She then spun the chair around so I was facing her. She went over to the prosthetic section and put on a prosthetic nose so my nose would be elongated. She then drew red lines around my eyes, making my eyes look swollen and puffy. Next, she drew gashes down both sides of my face. She then added a prosthetic lip and put more prosthetics in my mouth to make my cheeks look gaunt. She then tied my hair in a low ponytail, pinning it back with pins. She placed a wig cap upon it, and then put my hair in a bun. She placed a brown, short-haired wig onto my hair and finally passed me a white mask. I put it onto my face. She smiled. “Something’s missing,” she said. “I know! Your cane!” Rarity hurried out, into the prop room. She gave me a walking stick. She came back with a red-gold mask. “For the chandelier scene,” she said. I stood up. I waited backstage, centre stage. Rarity turned to herself, applying makeup and getting ready. Flash came and stood beside me. “How do you feel?” he asked. “A little nervous,” I said. He placed a calm hand on my shoulder. “You’ll be fine,” he said. I took off the mask. “Flash,” I said. “I play a monster. You play lover boy.” “Sunset, what did Rarity do to you?” he asked. “Just prosthetics and make-up,” I said. I kissed him. “Look, we’re gonna be separated. The only time we’re not is when I’m meant to uh... keep you hostage. And that’s when I am supposed to gag and bind you.” Flash smiled. “I know. We rehearsed and rehearsed. You’re gonna be fine.” I placed the mask back onto my face. “Look,” I said. “People are starting to arrive.” I sat down. Flash sat down next to me. He smiled. Time passed. The play was about to begin. The door centre stage flew open. I stood there. Then the curtains rose. Act 1 had begun. > Phantom of the opera pt 2(the play) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I peeped out from behind the doors. I walked around so I was facing the stage. I walked through the audience until I was at the back of the stalls. “AHHHH!” screamed Juniper. “It’s the ghost!” “Nonsense,” said Flash. “The ghost does not exist.” “My dad,” said Rarity. “Said that the Phantom of the Opera lives here.” Flash smiled. “Really?” he asked. “Or is this one of your lies?” “My dad told me he could train a dancer to become a singer,” “Well, you’re not very good at singing, are you?” asked Juniper. I walked away, back through the audience. “Maybe try again next year,” said Juniper. Rarity gasped. She turned and ran. As everyone else walked off the stage, the stage rotated to reveal a room. There was a cracked mirror, an organ and a bed. I walked onto the stage. I pulled off the mask, chucking it onto the bed. My hand brushed against the mirror. I screamed, frustrated about the whole being deformed thing. I sighed, placing the mask back onto my face. Rarity came on stage. I turned. She looked around nervously. I played the organ, to the Phantom of the opera theme. Then she began to sing. I looked at the clock. When will this end? After what seemed like hours, we came to the finale. I adapted the ending into a more age-appropriate more adult end. Rarity freed Flash from the entrance. Flash kissed Rarity passionately and smiled, his blue eyes full of love. I snarled fiercely. “Erik,” said Rarity softly. “I love you as much as Raoul. But I just want to stay friends.” Flash had different ideas. “He took you away!” he protested. “Shouldn’t I have the right to kill her?” Rarity sighed. “Yes,” she replied. Flash looked into my eyes, a look of apology flitted across his face. He raised the gun. A bang was heard. I let out a small cry of pain, as I fell to my knees. Rarity hurried to my side, as my head fell, into her lily-white hands. Then the curtain dropped. Flash and Rarity dragged me off. He smiled, as he reached for the rack and passed me the mask. I stood up, placing the white mask on my face. The curtain rose, and it was time for credits. > Phantom of the opera pt 3 the aftermath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the credits, I went backstage. Flash and I slipped into the dressing room. I sat down, taking off the mask, placing it into my bag. Rarity came in and helped take off the prosthetics. I then wiped off the makeup and then took off the costume, getting into my favourite attire, what I was wearing earlier. Flash was already changed. He stroked my cheek, his warm blue eyes full of love. He gently kissed me. I could feel his lips against mine; I gently touched his hip. We jumped apart, blushing furiously. We exited through the stage door and into the light. > Plans > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash and I got in the car. I drove back to the apartment. Flash and I were chatting about the play, quite animatedly. I smiled, my cyan eyes meeting his. I drove over to one side. He cupped his hands in my face, my cyan eyes looking in his blue eyes. He brought me closer, into a kiss. I could smell his shampoo; it was chocolate scented. I could feel his soft lips against mine. I broke apart, nuzzling him gently. “So what’s the plan?” he asked. “Now we’ve done the performance.” “Well,” I replied. “I applied to Canterlot university to study Fencing, art and Musical Theatre. I start on September 10th. What about you?” Flash laughed. “I applied as well, but for music and drama. I begin on September 13th.” “Oh, I also got the role for a new film, you know, live action Tangled? I voice Pascal, Max and I play Mother Gothel,” I said. “I heard you got Eugene. I am soooooo proud of you.” I drove back on the road. I drove back to the apartment. > My dear, we have a guest part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I unlocked the door of my apartment and Flash and I slipped in. I went over to the kitchen, and got a recipe for Banana Bread out. I began to bake. “Do you like baking?”asked Flash. I nodded. When I had finished, I sat down next to Flash on the sofa. I smiled, his eyes were full of love. He put his arm around my shoulder. There was a knock. “My dear,” I said. “We have a guest.” > My dear we have a guest part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I opened the door. Rainbow Dash stood there, her cerise eyes smiling at me. “Dash, what do you want?” I asked. Rainbow Dash sighed. “Look, Sunset. I know things have been difficult between us. But I want to date you again.” I sighed. “Look. Dash, I’m pregnant, with Flash’s baby. I’m engaged to him. I love him. Dash, I’ve moved on, okay? I had sex with him the night before the prom. We felt it was necessary, okay? Just leave, Dash. We can still be friends, but move on from me. AJ told me...” The phone rang. “Hello?” I asked. “Who is this?” “Gilda? What’s up?... Wait... let me just go to where a better connection is.” I headed upstairs to the attic/bedroom. “So, what were you saying?... You want to, wait, what?! You... you want me to be the leader of this criminal gang?... Thanks. I guess. Look, I’m sorry, Gilda. I’ll do it if you want me to. Where do you want to meet?... okay, that’s fine. Listen, will you recruit some people? You can be my second-in-command. Okay, bye.” I walked downstairs. “Right, Dash. I’ll make a deal with you. Go and see Gilda. She’ll sort you out, and you can still get with me.” Rainbow Dash smiled. “Thanks,” she replied, heading out of my apartment. I closed the door. > Planning to murder > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gilda and Rainbow Dash sat on my bed, while Flash was sitting in the kitchen. “So,” I said. “Who shall we target?” “Blush,” said Gilda. “She took your life away, Sunset,” said Rainbow Dash. “Blush it is,” I replied. I went into the office. I pulled out 3 black masks from my costume rack. I held 2 out to them. They took 1 each. I placed mine on my face. “Tomorrow?” I asked. “Yep,” replied Rainbow Dash. > murder(the next day) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash, Gilda and I put on our masks and pulled our hoods up. I opened the window, jumping out. I motioned the other 2 to follow me. Wallflower walked down the street, towards the alleyway next to the Sweet Shoppe. I remember I used to make street art here. In fact, I still do. Rainbow and Gilda attacked Wallflower, tackling her to the floor. I pulled out my 45 semi-automated handgun and my Uzi. I looked at them, pocketing the handgun. I aimed the Uzi at Wallflower. I looked at Rainbow Dash and Gilda. I put my hand to the trigger, nervously pulling it. As I let go of the trigger, the bullet flew out of the gun. My hands flew to my ears, as the bullet hit Wallflower Blush. We ran back to my apartment, as we took off our disguises. > School begins part 1 (September 10) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash drove me to Canterlot university. He got out, putting his arms around me. He kissed me gently, his lips as soft as a blanket. I smiled, as I looked into his blue eyes. I swung my backpack on my back. “See you on the 13th,” I said, hugging him. He grinned. “See you on the 13th, Sunset,” he replied. > School begins(part 2) 13th September > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLASH I walked into the university. I was greeted with rows of lockers. “Over here, Flash!” shouted a voice I knew and loved. “Hey, Sunset,” I said. “How’s uni treating you?” “It’s hard,” she admitted. I hugged her. “So where’s the locker?” I asked. “Next to me,” she replied. She grinned. “Let’s get this show on the road!” she cried. She began to hum one of the Rainbooms’ old songs. I laughed. “I love that song,” I said.
