The Alicorn

Flash slowly opened his eyes. The sun rose through the window. His dark blue walls last night had slowly faded back into their light hue of color. Flash yawned and suddenly all his mind could think about was Twilight. Then he remembered what had happened last night. Flash got out of bed and opened his window. The warm, cool air, slowly touched his cheeks. Then Flash slowly turned his head toward the balcony that was only was a few inches away from his window. The balcony that was outside Twilight's bedroom. Flash could only smile. Lucky him. Flash then remembered that Celestia wanted to talk to him. He couldn't be late. So Flash groomed his mane at the small dresser with the mirror over it and put on his armor.

Flash walked down the long hallway until he reached the door of the throne room. Two guards stood outside the door.

"What is your appointment here?" sternly asked a higher ranked guard.

"Order from Princess Celestia, sir!" replied Flash Sentry with a strong voice

The guards nodded and they slowly opened the doors to reveal a large white alicorn sitting on her throne.

Flash gulped and walked in.

"Your majesty." Flash said as he bowed.

"Welcome Flash Sentry." Princess Celestia smiled. "I have heard many great things about you."

"You have?" questioned Flash.

"With all due respect your majesty, what have you heard?" asked Flash.

"Yes, I have heard many things as the time you saved a foal from a changeling when the palace was under attack and the time a part of the castle was on fire and you saved 5 ponies and put the fire out and the time you chased down a pony who stole Granny Smith's purse and returned it too her. Shall I continue? questioned Celestia.

"No your majesty." blushed Flash Sentry. "Im just doing my job."

"Your doing it very well Flash. To inform you, you are one of my best guards. smiled Celestia.

"Thank you your highness." smiled Flash.

"As of that I am giving you a promotion." replied Celestia.

"A promotion, really?" smiled Flash.

"Yes, Flash Sentry, I think you are a very strong guard. I think that you are notable and a good friend. You are very strong and are willing to learn so I Princess Celestia am here to title you as Princess Twilight Sparkle's royal guard to protect her at all times.

Flash could barley hear the last words. Princess Celestia wanted him out of all guards to protect Twilight. Him? Out of all the ponies in the castle it was Twilight?

Princess Celestia could see the look on Flash's face.

"Do not worry Flash Sentry. I know it is a big task. But I believe in you."

Flash looked up at Celestia's determined face.

"I won't let you down your majesty." said Flash determined.

"Good, now you will stand next to Twilight's door. Follow her all the time for protection. You will have to spend a couple nights in her room. While our construction team makes your new room closer to hers." informed Celestia. " So what you need to do now is tell Princess Twilight then get your things."

Flash gulped and nodded.

"Good, we have no time to lose. You may go." said Celestia.

"I will not let you down your highness." replied Flash with a salute.

Then he walked out the room and down the hall.

"I know." smiled Celestia.
