The Alicorn

Flash just stared. The beautiful alicorn slowly flapped out of the books. Her crown still crooked. But that didn't matter. Her beautiful purple and pink mane swished back from the wind coming back from the balcony door that was open.

She looked like an angel even with the messy hair and her crooked crown. She looked tired. She had bags under her eyes and looked as if she had been up all night. But still those eyes the way they sparkled. Flash could barely breathe.

"Um hi.." said the Princess.

Flash suddenly snapped back into reality and realized the Princess was talking to him.

"Your highness." said Flash sternly.

"Oh please, call me Twilight." laughed Twilight.

"Oh really?, oh I mean as you wish Princess er I mean Twilight."  smiled Flash nervously.

"How can I help you you?" smiled Twilight.

"Right why am I in your room this late heh heh." said Flash nervously. "Well I heard a noise and all the guards were on the night shift and so ya I went to investigate and well the noise was coming from your room but I didn't know your room was up here because im new and well um are you ok?"

"Oh im fine I was probably running around getting notebooks and pencils and I must have knocked down all the books with my hoof hitting the shelf or something and thats why they fell on me." blushed Twilight.

Flash couldn't help but smile. When Twilight blushed she looked so cute.

"Um of course, might I ask why your doing that at 2 am?" asked Flash.

"THE STAR COLLISION OF COURSE!" burst Twilight.

Twilight's face suddenly turned red.

"Sorry I didn't mean to shout." blushed Twilight.

"Its alright." smiled Flash. "Um well whats the Star Collision?"

Twilight looked excited.

"The Star Collision only happens every 100 years. The stars are all lined up when suddenly. A single shooting star streaks across the sky. The magic in that star empowers every pony who wishes on it one wish. The star grants each wish. Then that wish magically happens but can be broken if.......' Twilight's voice trailed off. "I still haven't read the rest of it yet."

"Wow thats so neat." agreed Flash.

"Well I think so, your the first pony ever to like when I talk about stars." blushed Twilight.

"Stars are a beautiful thing, they're special and deserve to be talked about." said Flash looking deep into Twilight's purple eyes.

"She probably has to get back to her book, you've been here to long." thought Flash.

"I have to go Princess I..I mean Twilight." sputtered Flash. Not wanting go.

"Ok." said Twilight looking suspicious.

"Good night Twilight." smiled Flash.

"Good night Flash." smiled Twilight, her eyes sparkling with beauty.

Flash looked at Twilight expecting her too say guard or something but she said his name.

"Um Twilight how do you know my name?" asked Flash curiously.

"Oh um .......... I..I got to get to studying. BYE!"

With that Twilight shut the door quickly.

"That was weird." thought Flash.

Flash was deep in his thoughts why would Twilight even be so friendly to him. She just probably was getting tired of him. Thats why she shut the door so quickly. After all he was just a guard pony and Twilight well she was a princess. She well shes..........an alicorn. Flash kept walking down the hallways, and heard Daft Pony playing in Princess Luna's room. Obviously still awake. Flash looked at the giant grand clock. It read 3 am. Flash moaned. He knew he would be tired in the morning if he didn't get to bed. Flash finally reached the hallway where the guard quarters were. Where all the guard ponies slept. He was making his way down the hallway when some guard ponies, some white unicorns came walking down the hallway. Flash recognized the first pony was Blade and the second one was Shine they were raised to be guards in their family tree. Like most the guard ponies. They were given the option of changing your appearance to match guard standards. But Flash didn't change because some job so, he looked different from most of the other guards.

"Hey Flash, what are you doing out this late bro? Your shift starts this morning." questioned Blade.

"I heard a noise." replied Flash

"Oh does Flashy need his mommy." teased Shine.

"Shut up Shine!" retorted Flash.

"Oh ok then what was the noise?" spat Shine.

Flash thought he wouldn't dare tell them it was Twilight.

"It was nothing." Flash said looking down.

"HA!! Your pathetic Flash." retorted Shine.

"Thats enough." said Blade sternly.  "Come on we got to start our shift or Celestia is going to kick are flanks."

Then with that both of them walked down the hallway and turned the corner to go to their posts.

Flash rolled his eyes and walked into the area and went the wooden door. With is cutie mark painted on the front. Flash walked in and looked around the room. It was the same as he left it with his red guitar and his amp. His room was blue with a large window that had a view of Twilight's bedroom up in the tower. Flash sighed and shut his window. Flash tried to fall asleep. But all he could think about was Twilight. What was this feeling. Everytime he thought of the purple mare he got tingles. Flash turned around and looked through his window and looked at the tower. "Goodnight, my dear alicorn." cooed Flash and shut his eyes.

But up in the tower Twilight was pacing around her room. "That was way too close." thought Twilight.

If Flash knew that human Flash liked human Twilight well.......... her things would be all weird. Maybe pony Flash didn't feel that way about Twilight. But Twilight thought she felt that say about him. As soon as Flash showed up she was a nervous. She was a nervous wreck inside. All she could think while he was there was why is he here?

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the tower. Twilight turned around and opened the door. Spike was standing there with a white box of donuts from Pony Joe's Donut shop. They were Spike's favorite.

"Hey Twilight im back from the donut shop." said Spike Spike looked around. "What happened in here?" asked Spike looking at the mess of books and paper everywhere.

Twilight laughed tiredly and smiled.

"Oh just studying." laughed Twilight.

"Oh course, just why the mess?" asked Spike.

"Oh um well its about the Star Collision......." started Twilight.

"BORING!' replied Spike and dove to his bed and pulled the covers over his head.

"Goodnight Twilight." yawned Spike from under the blanket.

Twilight rolled her eyes. She was used to Spike not wanting to listen to her reports. But Flash liked them.

Twilight used a clean up spell and soon everything was cleaned up instantly the way Twilight wanted it. All she did was use her magic and pictured in her mind the way she wanted it to look.

She went to the table in her room and opened up the donut box. They were all covered in gemstones.

"Spike why are these donuts...."

Twilight turned around and realized that Spike was already asleep under his blanket quietly snoring.

Twilight giggled and put the donuts back on the table.

Twilight got in bed and opened up a Daring Do book. But she couldn't read. All she could think of was Flash. Did he feel this feeling? Everytime she thought of him she would get this tingling feeling inside her. Memories of her as a human with Flash drifted into Twilight's mind.

Twilight walked out onto her balcony. The purple dark sky wasn't so dark with the stars surrounding Luna's moon. It was like a large night light floating in the middle of the sky. Twilight looked around. She saw a part of the castle there was a window across from her balcony. Twilight gasped. A sleeping Flash Sentry was in that window. He looked exhausted. Twilight could only smile. Twilight yawned . She looked at the window and blew him a kiss.

"Goodnight my dear pegasus." cooed Twilight.

Then she got in bed and fell asleep.

That night all Flash or Twilight could dream about was each other. How much they felt as if they were in love.
