The Alicorn

Flash slowly opened his eyes and peered around. Then slowly he saw a blurry purple figure under him. Flash gasped a sleeping Twilight Sparkle. Flash was right next to her. Flash got up slowly careful not to disturb the sleeping princess. Flash took a golden blanket from Twilight's bed. Then pulled it around her sleeping body. Flash smiled Twilight looked so peaceful. We must have fell asleep on the balcony talking. Flash quickly stood guard making sure he followed his duty. Flash wondered did Twilight know? Probably not. But what if she did? Suddenly there was a quiet knock on the door. It was the royal mail stallion.

"How may I help you." smiled Flash.

"Delivery for Princess Twilight Sparkle." smiled the mail stallion.

"Thank you. I'll deliver them right away." smiled Flash.

Then shut the door. The mail stallion frowned.

"Oh I almost forgot." smiled Flash as he handed the mail stallion a bit.

The stallion smiled and trotted away happy to have some lunch money.

Flash felt his eyes droop. Flash yearned for coffee but knew he couldn't leave this spot.

A couple minutes passed.

Flash jerked his head toward a yawning noise.

Twilight looked to the balcony and realized Twilight was waking up. Flash smiled.

Twilight slowly opened her eyes recalling last nights events. She looked around not getting up.

"Good Morning, Flash." yawned Twilight.

"Good Morning Twilight." smiled Flash

"Funny Flash I don't remember having a blanket on the balcony with me last night." grinned Twilight.

"You looked cold." blushed Flash.

Not wanting to tell her about him falling asleep by her side last night.

Twilight slowly got up stretching her wings.

Then she trotted over to her makeup table and sat down on the coushiney chair.

Then used her magic to make her comb brush through her hair.

"So Flash, what are we both doing today?" giggled Twilight.

Flash grinned. We. He liked the sound of that.

"Oh of course." grinned Flash. "Well Twilight you have received two letters!"

"Hmm. Ones probably from Spike in Ponyville. But I wonder what the other ones for?" questioned Twilight.

Twilight opened the first letter.

Dear Twilight,

Thank you for all the seventeen letters you sent me making sure. I got on the train safely. Yes, I did.The ponies on the train sure thought it was funny. But yes im in Ponyville doing the book count, running the library, and taking care of Owlwishes as you asked. I have a question what do owls eat? I can't find a book in the library on owls so I borrowed one from Fluttershy. I miss you a lot Twilight!! Come home real some.

Your #1 assistant,

                    Spike

Twilight smiled. But then blushed realizing she probably babied Spike a little. Twilight just couldn't help it.

Twilight opened the second letter. Excpecting  to see something from Celestia. But this wasn't Celestia's graceful cursive. This was scribbled out.

Twilight began to read

Dear Twilight,

I usually don't write letters. But I wanted to tell you something really exciting Im visiting. By the time you get this I will be here.

Surprise!

Before Twilight could answer there was a knock on the door.

Flash shrugged and Twilight walked to the door.

Then Twilight slowly opened the door.

There standing in front of the door was no other than............

"Twily." Shining Armor squealed.
