The Back Door is Still an Entrance
The Crystal Kingdom could not being calmer, during this, the afternoon of cliche. If it could not be told through the blinding glare, the day was one of sun and heat, something that was perfect for outings and make outs in many a professional ponies' opinions.
Unfortunately, just because the entirety of the Crystal Kingdom was able to enjoy with such joviality, did not mean that everyone was. A certain regime of guards did not get off so easily. Being the delegates of the bordering country, it was necessary for at least of clawful of active duty Equestrian guards to keep duty in this improvised country, as a sign of good faith.
In the eyes of some it was also a convenient method to get rid of the worst cadets.
Ones that might get distracted at the slightest flick of tail over well-rounded plot.
In fact, that description perfectly described one of the most notorious guards present. Perfectly.
Right now he had eyes for nothing but the finely sculpted moons of purple that swept their way past the corridor he was supposed to be patrolling. A cutie markless foal could have sneaked past him at that moment.
"Twi-Twi! I didn't know you were around today!" Flash Sentry's joyful, and rather hopefully optimistic, cry did not cease there, "Where're you going, sweet cheeks?"
And thus the hunt was on.
The so called "Twi-Twi"'s hoofsteps did not pause as somepony familiar would, but rather picked up in speed, tail swishing back and forth.
A drool worthy sight indeed.
"Playing hard to get, eh?" If his grin could get any bigger...
Well, it wasn't just his grin that wanted to get bigger. He shifted in his armor, before making the abrupt decision to throw his helmet to the ground.
"Oh, yeah Twilight. That's going to be you next," He licked his lips as the thought filled his mind, "I'm going to throw you to the ground...oh, yeah, yeah, just like that, baby!"
Flash Sentry acknowledged his growing problem with a run, galloping in the direction he last saw that tender purple flower. He was going to help her bloom soon.
Having given her a head start worthy of a lady and princess, he poured on the speed. And there she was. His perfect mate, his own princess. Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship. She was framed so perfectly by the throne room door. The way the light glimmer against her eyes, so deep, so soulful...
"Twilight!"
Such a foxy mare. Still playing hard to get even after he had basically caught her.
"No where to run now, I've got you pinned," He purred, taking his leisure now as he advanced, "Have you been a naughty princess again? Does your big strong Flash need to punish your flank?"
He was upon her now, tracing a delicate hoof over the ridge of her tail.
"I'm surprised that the marks from your last punishment have already...disappeared."
"Um..." Her voice was hesitant, "Flash? I have...Princess duties," She tried to push the door behind open quietly, hoping to slip through, "You know how it is, right?" Her tone was more questioning than it would be normally.
"Your duty...it's right here."
Propping himself up on his hindlegs, he placed a fore hoof just over her head.
"I think you know what to do."
"Flash! No!"
"What's wrong, baby?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no!"
Flash lowered himself, reminding himself how high strung his marefriend could be.
"Twilight, what's wrong? I didn't mean to pressure you that way."
"It's not like what you think!"
He pulled back slightly, placing his hooves on the ground, "It's...it's not that time of month is it?"
"No, no, no! I can't have that anyways!"
"What." It was less of a question and much more of a statement of confusion.
"Um...I mean that already happened this month...?"
"Twilight, you know you can tell me anything, right?" He reached out to her, fondling her flank lower and lower.
"I AM A DUDE!"
Sentry's laugh was a booming thing, echoing against the halls of the castle. It was oddly empty in these parts, despite being the better traveled channel.
"I don't mind!" His laughter didn't stop at all, "I don't mind at all...in fact..."
A shimmering green light exploded before Flash Sentry's eyes. After the smoke cleared and tears flowed their path, a scared looking changeling.
"As I said..." Sentry Jr. prodded at the hard chitin.

"Go get the Queen!"
"Where is she?"
"We need Chrysalis here!" Another changeling called out from the entrance of the Hive's cave, "Stat!"
"Is he alright?"
"What happened?"
The chatter of a thousand insects could not drown out the sound of these one hundred worried changelings. Not even the presence of their queen and almighty leader could hush them, not by itself.
"Enough!" Chrysalis knelt down to the trembling scout before her, "You're so cold...Tell me, my child, what did you discover?"
"The Cry-crystal Kingdom..." He chattered.
"Yes? What did you find?" She prodded.
"It is not safe. The one called...Flash Sentry...He...he does things! Terrible things!"
The insectoid ponies glanced amongst themselves, silence still reigning, before turning back to their fallen kin, his backside still painted with a creamy liquid that no one present could identify.
"Terrible things..." He murmured, his last words before he blacked out.
