Chapter 3: Kissing is Magic

Pony Flash P.O.V

I decided to go to sleep. I heard a scream, and I headed down to the sound. It was Twilight! And me? Kissing? I felt heartbroken. Then I realized.

I must be dreaming.

I shook my head and headed back to my room to sleep in my dream.

"Good-night, crazy me."

Princess Twilight's P.O.V

"Flash! You're here!"

I was so happy!

I kissed him again.

"I love you, Flash! I missed you!"

I really wanted to lose my virginity, but I didn't want to do that right now.

Human/Pony Flash P.O.V

She told she loved me.

I was overjoyed.

"Twilight, I heard you say good-bye to me. Why?"

Twilight looked shocked and told me not to worry about it.

I kissed her again.

"I love you too, Twilight."

She smiled at me.

"That's why you should come to my world! We'll graduate high school! Get married! Have children! It will be so wonderful!"

Twilight had an excited gleam in her eyes, but it soon died.

"I cant"

I couldn't believe my new ears. She declined.

"Why?"

Twilight looked at me sad, and told me her responsibility here in "Equestria."

I realized it was either she lose her princess hood and pony life, or come with me and marry me and live together.

I had to stay in the pony world. For her.

Chapter 4: Question of the Day

Pony Flash P.O.V

I awoke. Then I put on my uniform and trotted to Princess Celestia's office.

I knocked twice, and Princess Celestia came to the door. "Hello, Flash!" she invited me in.

"Princess Celestia, I wish to be Princess Twilight Sparkle's personal guard."

Princess Celestia nodded. "I will notify Twilight immediately."

Then I left her office.

Twilight took Flash to her bedroom, hoping not to awake Spike. "You can sleep in my bed, I can sleep on the floor."

Flash nodded and slept in twilight's bed. But there was one problem. "How do I tuck in my wings?" His wings wouldn't tuck, and Flash was struggling helplessly.

Twilight showed him, and he thanked her for the teach. Then they went to bed.

The next morning, Twilight awoke Flash. "Get up! We have to hurry!"

Flash was confused. But he did as Twilight told him.

"Flash, I have decided to go with you."

Flash, was instantly happy about this. "Yes! Okay, so, you will be my girlfriend, right?"

Twilight nuzzled him. "Of course I will."

Then she heard Spike's voice.

"Twilight?! Who is that, and why are you not sleeping?"

Chapter 5: Spike

Twilight gasped as Spike saw her nuzzling Flash.

"Spike!"

Spike ran up to Flash.

" You don't even know her!"

Flash looked scared.

"This was your dog before?"

Spike sneezed. Fire blew up Flash's hair.

Flash screamed.

Twilight used her magic to fix Flash's hair.

Flash thanked her and kissed her.

Spike turned to Twilight. "What is going on?"

Twilight sighed. "Human Flash came through the mirror, and he wants me to leave with him. Spike, I think I want to."

Spike opened his eyes wide. "NO. Twilight! Your friends, Princess Celestia, Shining Armor, ME!"

Twilight sighed. "I have made up my mind."

Flash smiled. "I can't believe it! We're going to be a couple!"

Spike shook his head. "Fine. But I'm going with you!"

Twilight sighed. "Fine. You can come."

Twilight used her magic to pack herself a backpack of objects.

Flash, Twilight, and Spike walked to the mirror.

They took one last breath of Equestria, and walked through the mirror.

Chapter 6: Back In School

Twilight stepped through the mirror with her dragon and boyfriend. She fell on her knees on the ground, but got up on her own two feet. She smiled at the sight of her long legs, small nose, and hands. Spike looked less happy being a dog again. Class had not yet started.

"You two can live in my room for the time being." Flash told them.

twilight and Spike were walking to Flash's house. It was yellow, with a red roof. In the driveway, a red mustang was parked. Flash walked up to his window, but stopped.

"Twilight, look!" Flash pointed.

Twilight turned around and gasped at the sight. The most beautiful sunset she had ever seen was opening up in the sky. Spike wagged his tail. The orange and red mix of color was breathtaking.

They finally got through the window, Flash heard his mother coming up the stairs. "Hide in the closet!" he pushed them to it.

Twilight grabbed Spike and hid in the closet. Flash's guitar and school clothes were in the closet, along with guitar picks and tennis shoes.

"Flash!" Flash's mother, Camera Shot came into his room. A tall woman. Orange skin, black hair, and Flash's blue eyes.

"Flash! You're up! You look a mess! Did you sleepwalk? Are you sick? Should I call the doctor?" she was an overprotective mother who always worried.

Flash covered his ears. "Mom! I'm fine! Let me get ready for school!" he usually got very annoyed with her.

Camera Shot nodded. "Okay, sweetie. I'm going to work." she walked down the stairs and grabbed her purse, driving the red car away from the house.

Flash let Twilight out of the closet. "I'll bring some money if you want a snack later." he grabbed some gold coins and put them in his pocket.

Flash and Twilight were ready, so they walked to Canterlot High. It was the same, except Sunset Shimmer had finished the school damage.

Twilight and Flash walked in, to be surrounded by hundreds of students. "Twilight! You're back!" There were many joyous shouts and screams, and hugs. Flash finally got her to her locker. She opened it and grabbed her schedule. "What's your first class?" Twilight looked at her schedule. "English, with Mrs. Cadence." Flash sighed. " I have Gym with Mr. Armor." The sweethearts kissed and walked to their class. Before she got there, she was grabbed by a blue figure. She turned to find it was,

"Rainbow Dash!"

The blue human smiled and hugged Twilight. "You're back! You really are back!" Applejack and Rarity walked out too. They smiled and joined Rainbow in the hug. Pinkie Pie ran to Twilight, bowling all four humans over.

"TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE BACK! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!! IT WAS SO BORING, AND EVERYONE MISSED YOU!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL EVERYONE YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!"

Fluttershy walked out, alongside with Sunset Shimmer. Fluttershy saw Spike, and grabbed him up. "Spiky! Cute puppy! Sweet baby! Eat the bacon treats I have!"

Sunset Shimmer walked up to Twilight. Sunset reached over and hugged twilight. "Thank you. You gave me a second chance. But, what are you doing here?"

Twilight took a deep breath. "I ran away with Flash Sentry. He plans to graduate with me here and then marry me."

Sunset stopped smiling. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" she grabbed twilight and shook her.

Sunset started hyperventilating. "Every pony in Equestria will have no PROTECTION against enemies without you!"

Twilight cocked her head. "I don't understand."

Sunset took a deep breath. "Equestria will crumble."

Chapter 7: Pony Flash

Pony Flash had just woken up. He trotted to his closet, and put on his guard uniform. As he was leaving, Princess Celestia came in. She looked terribly worried. "Flash, have you seen Princess Twilight?"

Flash shook his head. "No, why?"

Princess Celestia sighed. "She's gone. Now that she's gone, the elements fell crazy and sick. I don't know what to do."

Flash looked up at the princess. "Do you know where she went?"

Princess Celestia nodded. "I need you to go through the mirror."

Flash gulped. "If it is to save the princess."

The princess gave him a saddlebag. "Make sure you bring her home."

Flash nodded. He walked with Celestia to the Mirror Hall.

Flash took a deep breath, and walked through the mirror.

When Flash got up, he realized he was some kind of monster! "I have long legs, a small muzzle, and these!" He didn't know what his fingers were. "Let's go get this over with." He took a breath, and then walked inside the "castle."

He walked in, only to be trampled by hundreds of students.

Chapter 8: Cadence?!

Flash squeezed out of the large crowd. He smashed into a locker, hitting his head. He opened his eyes to see a hand in front of him. He took the hand, and got on his feet. It was a girl! She had very light green skin, long and wavy mint green and white hair, and amber eyes.

"I'm Lyra Heartstrings. A local eco-kid here! I vote for natural things!" Flash was confused. "Hi?"

Lyra gasped. "You're Flash Sentry! Twilight's boyfriend!"

Flash was now happy and confused. "Ok, well, I better get going."

Lyra waved as he walked down the hall. Flash walked into a large, glass building. He saw hundreds of books stacked on a shelf. There were also black boxes on desks. Also, in the corner, was a large, white machine with a screen. He was looking around when a pink woman with green eyes in a green sunflower dress came up to him. "Flash! Do you have a pass to be here?" Flash shook his head and ran off.

Twilight sat down in her seat, waiting for Mrs. Cadence to arrive. She was looking forward to meeting the Human Cadence.

She didn't have to wait long. A tall light pink woman with magenta eyes, yellow, purple, and pink hair that was thrown up in a long puffy ponytail walked in. She was holding a clipboard. "Good morning students, I will be telling you your partner for the big project for the end of the year."

Mrs. Cadence read the partners, and Twilight was paired with Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset walked to her desk. "Okay, so I would LOVE to work on this project, but we have to get you home!"

Twilight drooped her head down. "I know, I just don't want to leave Flash."

Sunset smiled. "That's easy. You have a Pony Flash! He's the same thing, you just have to bond with him!"

Chapter 1: Return

Flash P.O.V

I bumped into the Princess. Princess Twilight Sparkle. I looked at her for a moment, taking in her lavender coat, and magenta eyes, and then helped her up.

"We gotta stop running into each other like this!" I told her.

I could swear she looked back, but I kept walking. I was whistling, when it hit me. Why was I thinking about Twilight? Maybe I was going crazy. I felt like I was in love. But I had just met her. Maybe if I spent more time with her...

Princess Twilight's P.O.V

I couldn't believe Pinkie knew all that information. I needed sleep. But I couldn't help thinking about Flash. The Human Flash. I felt like I wanted him. I loved him, and I felt like I was itching to dance with him again. Maybe even more.

I needed to get to know Pony Flash better. But, I was scared. If he wasn't like Flash, what would I do? I couldn't just ignore him. I loved Flash. I wished. I wished I had never left Canterlot High. But I had to wait 30 moons. Or did I?

Human Flash P.O.V

I missed Twilight. I couldn't believe she was gone! I tried to get back with Sunset Shimmer, but I broke up with her again. She didn't mind. She even told me that she understood. I really miss Twilight. I just want to smash that mirror so we can see each other again. I just wished I had kissed her before she left...

Chapter 2: Flash and Flash

Pony Flash P.O.V

Today was the first day, I was walking down the hall, trotting down the hall, when I bumped straight into Princess Twilight Sparkle! I smiled and helped her up. Then I put her fallen crown back on. I blushed when I brushed against her as I was walking away.

I blushed when she left. I wanted to tell her, but I thought better of it. I kept walking, even though, my heart beat for her. I decided that I would become her personal royal guard. But to do that, I would need Princess Twilight Sparkle's approval. I decided to ask Princess Celestia tomorrow.

Princess Twilight Sparkle's P.O.V

After the run-in with Pony Flash, I realized that he had no knowledge of me. But I needed to get to know Pony Flash. And to forget Human Flash.

I walked to the mirror, the mirror with the world behind it. I shed a single tear. "Good-bye, Human Flash."

Human Flash's P.O.V

It was dark, and way after school. I was in bed, my parents asleep. I couldn't stop thinking about Twilight, when I felt a shock go through my body. Like my love for her was leaving me. Suddenly, I felt a sound shock piece my ears.

"Good-bye, Human Flash."

NO!!!

I wouldn't have it! I threw open my window, and ran all the way to Canterlot High. I ran to the statue. I smashed my hand through the glass.

But there was no glass.

My hand went through the mirror!

I was falling and spinning, and then I fell. I looked at myself. I had HOOVES?! A muzzle?! Short legs! A tail! I almost fainted. Then I saw wings on my back! I looked up. There she was.

Twilight!

I reached up and grabbed her. "Twilight! I can't believe I found you! What am I?"

Twilight was speechless. I was worried. But then, something magical happened.

She kissed me.

Of course I kissed back.
