The Alicorn

"Well um.."

Twilight blushes. Why would Flash put her in this situation? What to do.. What to say?

Twilight was trying to find an answer hen suddenly KNOCK! KNOCK!

A knock at the door.

"I'll get it!!" shouted Twilight trying to get out of the question.

"Wait Twilight what if its your brother?" panicked Flash.

Twilight slowly opened the door to a crack. She didn't see any pony.

"Down here." smiled a voice.

Twilight looked down to see her number one assistant standing there smiling with a small green suitcase and a owl carrier.

"Spike your home." cheered Twilight flinging the door open and hugging the dragon.

Flash smiled at this.

"I missed you too Twilight." grinned Spike. "I just thought maybe I could just bring Owlishes here! You know until you come back to Ponyville."

"Oh how wonderful!" exclaimed Twilight.

Spike was just about to ask when they were heading back to Ponyville. Because Twilight said soon. But then suddenly he noticed a yellow pegasus guard standing in the middle of her room staring at them

"Um Twilight what is Flash Sentry doing in the middle of your room?" questioned Spike.

Twilight whipped around suddenly remembering Spike didn't know why Flash was here.

"Oh you see.." Twilight blushed. " He is kind of my personal guard now."

Spike stared at Twilight then Flash and then he burst out laughing on the floor.

"How ironic." laughed Spike making Flash and Twilight turn a shade of pink.

Spike smiled and stood back up. "But you know I actually like this idea!"

"You do!?" questioned Twilight.

"Ya!" smiled Spike. "I'll finally get to hang out with a guy! Not a bunch of mares."

"With the exception of Rarity of course." blushed Spike.

Spike turned to Flash.

"Flash me and you are going to do so much fun stuff together!' exclaimed Spike. " We can play video games, read comics, play football, talk sports, and all kinds of stuff! Maybe you can even teach me some guard moves."

Twilight was about to say Flash might not want to but before she could Flash joined in.

"I would love to do those things with you Spike." smiled Flash.

"That is if its alright with you Twilight?" questioned Flash looking at Twilight.

"Of course it is." nodded Twilight.

"This is great." cheered Spike."

When suddenly he remembered what he was going to ask Twilight.

"Just one question Twilight?" asked Spike. " When are we heading back to Ponyville?"

Twilight smiled. Spike must have been feeling homesick from being in Canterlot so much. Besides Twilight was really missing her friends back in Ponyville. Twilight smiled and made a decision right then.

"Tomorrow."

"Really?" smiled Spike. "So soon?"

"Yes im sure of it."

Then Twilight remembered Flash.

"Is that ok with you Flash?" questioned Twilight.

"Twilight I would follow you anywhere." replied Flash turning a shade of red realizing what he had just said.

"Alright then." Twilight giggled. "Im going to take a shower then we can start packing."

"Alright." replied Flash still blushing.

"Ok then im going." grinned Twilight walking backwards when suddenly she knocked into the door.

"Whoops!" blushed Twilight by this. "Well im going to take a shower. Heh ok bye!"

Flash just stared at Twilight with a big goofy grin on his face as she went into the master bathroom.

"Stupid." she groaned from behind the door of the master bathroom.

Spike stared at both of them. Noticing this.

"I know whats going on." grinned Spike.

"Whats going on? There's something going on? I didn't know there was something going on!" rambled Flash.

Spike sighed. "Flash lets talk. You know drake to well um stallion."

"Ok." whispered a nervous Flash Sentry.

"Im just going to come right out and say it.' mused Spike. "You love her don't you?'

"What?" blushed Flash nervously.

"The signs are clear." grinned Spike. "Its so obvious!"

"Well.." sighed Flash. "Ok yes I might be in love with Twilight."

"I knew-" Flash covered Spike's mouth with his hoof so Twilight wouldn't hear or possibly the whole castle.

"Look you can't tell Twilight!" whispered Flash. "Im not ready to tell her something like this yet."

"I don't get it why not?' questioned Spike as her took Flash's hoof out of his mouth.

Flash sighed trying to find a way to explain it to the young drake.

"Imagine if this was you and Rarity." whispered Spike remembering what Spike said earlier about her..

"Well I guess I can understand that," sighed Spike. "Well I guess I understand. But you have to tell her someimes."

"Maybe." sighed Flash looking down at the floor.

But how could he tell her Flash was just a guard and Twilight was a princess. How could that ever work? It seemed to complicated. What would ponies say? They would laugh at him. No matter how much he loved Twilight. He didn't think he could ever have the guts to tell her this.

"Well." moaned Spike. "We better get started packing."

"Yeah packing." frowned Flash thinking about how he or Twilight could ever be.

When Spike left the room to get some boxes.

Flash walked out on the balcony looking down at his old room. He looked up at the starry night. That jungle of glows and beauty was still there. Now when he looked up at the stars all he could think about is Twilight. Suddenly a shooting star came floating out of the sky. Flash closed his eyes. I wish I could tell Twilight how I felt. He looked out into the night sky. A single tear going down his face.

"I love you Twilight Sparkle." he whispered.

Then went back inside to pack.
