The Alicorn
Vanilla Twilight
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight looked around her room. It was quite in the castle. She had only stayed at Canterlot Castle for a few days and knew in a month or so she would go back to Ponyville. Twilight looked around and then noticed a giant closet. She had not once this week gone in there.Maybe there was something in there for Twilight. Twilight slowly trotted over to the door.Then with a sudden turn of the handles a whole room full of dresses appeared. Twilight marveled at all the beautiful dresses and accessories. There was a note on the door. A princess should have a dress for everyday-----Princess Celestia.
Twilight blushed. Well if Celestia said she could wear them it couldn't hurt to try on one.
"Wow." marveled Twilight. She looked in the mirror. "I feel beautiful." blushed Twilight.
It was a red and orange fire like dress that covered her wings. The seamstresses must have forgotten to add some wing holes to some dresses because she forgot that I have wings now. Twilight knew everyone at the Castle they watched her grow up at Celestia's palace. In her class of gifted unicorns.
Twilight looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't normally dress up. But she felt like she deserved to pamper herself. It was nice to treat herself to things sometimes. Suddenly Twilight heard a knock on the door. It was probably Spike coming back from the donut shop.
"He better not have got the jewel covered ones again." grunted Twilight.
Twilight opened the door expecting to see Spike but instead at the door was Flash Sentry.
Twilight gasped.
"Flash I..I uh um." Twilight blushed looking down at her dress.
Flash could only stare. Twilight looked simply stunning. Her beautiful hair so delicately place behind her fire like dress. Her sparkling eyes. The way she blushed matched the color of her dress. She was so beautiful.
"Shes beautiful." thought Flash.
"Hello Flash, sorry about the way I am dressed." blushed Twilight.
"No, its fine Princess." replied Flash.
Twilight gave Flash a annoyed look.
"Oh I mean Twilight." apologized Flash.
"How can I help you?' asked Twilight. "Was I making too much noise?"
"No." laughed Flash. "Im here to tell you something."
"Ok what is it?" questioned Twilight.
"Princess Celestia has ordered me to come and protect you and be your personal guard and stay with you well at all times and protect you from danger." replied Flash.
"What danger?" questioned Twilight.
"Anypony might want to try to harm you." replied Flash. "Your royalty, they could kidnap you as a way to blackmail Princess Celestia or worse."
"But I don't need protection, I am capable of taking care of myself." insisted Twilight.
"Believe me Twilight, I am completely aware of that." smiled Flash. "But these are Celestia's orders. So I am here to help you with anything. I am completely here to assist you."
"Ok I could use someone to do my dishes." laughed Twilight.
"Very amusing." laughed Flash.
"Ok, we probably need to get your stuff." smiled Twilight.
"Oh, please Twilight let me get it by myself." insisted Flash.
"Oh, no Flash just because your my guard doesn't mean I can't do things for you." smiled Twilight.
"Very well." agreed Flash.
Flash and Twilight walked down the long halls.
"So Flash tell me about yourself, who is Flash Sentry?" questioned Twilight.
"Trust me Twilight, im no special story."
"Come on tell me."whined Twilight.
"Very well." smiled Flash.
"Well lets see, I was born in Canterlot and was trained as a trainee guard at the castle to soon protect a lost kingdom known as the Crystal Empire. After you brought back the Crystal Heart." smiled Flash.
"Oh no Spike was the one who brought back the heart. I was trapped." blushed Twilight.
"But you weren't selfish, you let Spike help the ponies even if it meant disappointing Celesita." beamed Flash.
"Oh it was nothing." blushed Twilight.
"I see, would you like me to continue?" asked Flash.
"Yes, please." smiled Twilight.
"Very well." laughed Flash.
"I grew up with my mom and dad in Canterlot. We lived a simple life. My dad was a guard. He trained to be the best of the best. He believed I should continue the family tree." continued Flash.
"But is that what you wanted?" asked Twilight.
"Well I wanted to be a musician, to play guitar and sing." replied Flash. "But my dad said that is nothing more than a silly dream."
Flash looked down at the ground he looked weary.
"Do you own a instrument?" asked Twilight.
"Yeah, I own a guitar and a amp." smiled Flash.
"Well you should play for me sometime." replied Twilight.
"Really?" questioned Flash.
"Ya, I men I love to sing." smiled Twilight.
Flash laughed "I would love to hear that."
Twilight smiled.
Soon they reached Flash's room.
Twilight looked at the beautiful light blue walls and windows with golden curtains. But she noticed the other items in the room didn't quite match. There was a lava lamp and rock posters everywhere. But Twilight looked at one that caught her eye.

"Flash whats this?" asked Twilight
"Oh that, thats well its my favorite album." smiled Flash.
"I own this album." laughed Twilight.
"You do?" questioned Flash.
"Yeah, I got the album for my birthday." continued Twilight. "I would practice one song on it over and over. Its funny though I don't remember what its called."
"I do." smiled Flash.
"You do?" asked Twilight.
"Was it called Vanilla Twilight?" asked Flash.
"Thats it. How did you know?" laughed Twilight.
"Lucky guess." smiled Flash.
"I think I am starting to remember the song." smiled Twilight.
"Well sing it out." smiled Flash.
"Well ok but im not very good."
"Just sing to your heart." replied Flash.
"The stars lean down to kiss you and I lie awake and miss you. Pour me a heavy does of atmosphere." sang Twilight.
Flash smiled and started to sing.
"Cause Ill doze off safe and soundly. But i'll miss your arms around me. I'd send a postcard to you dear. Cause I wish you were here."
Finally the song ended.
"You have a beautiful voice." insisted Flash.
Twilight blushed. "Thank you."
"Well we should get back to your room." smiled Flash. "You probably should change."
"Oh yeah." blushed Twilight.
And with that they walked back down toTwilight's bedroom.
