The Reason We Love

"SOFIE!" Fast Flame screamed while galloping through the halls. "WHERE IS SOFIE!

         "Over here Princess," Sofie replied peeking out of a door. "Do you need anything?"

"Sofie, do you know who delivers my mail? And do you know if it is being read?" Flame asked sternly.

         "I'm afraid I do not know who delivers your mail m'lady. But I do know that it is being read, after all in times like these you have to be extra careful." Sofie said sweetly. "Does that bother you, your highness?"

"I'm afraid it bothers me very much," Flame spat. "After all I hate reading a letter about my brother's death 4 months after the letter was delivered! I mean who does that to their future queen? Hmmm? Do you know anypony who might do that Sofie?"

        "I'm sorry mistress! It was a selfish thing to do! I'm so, so sorry!" Sofie broke out in tears while laying at the hooves of her master. "It will never happen again! Please spare me! I beg of you!"

"Sofie," Flame said looking down at her. "You are relieved of you duties as head maid. I'm afraid I can't trust you anymore. Pack your bags and leave."

        "Thank You!" Sofie said kissing Flame's hooves.

"I SAID LEAVE!" Fast Flame yelled. Sofie quickly stood up and qalloped away. "Well that went well didn't it?" Flame said under her breath. "Guess it's time to look for a new servent."

        "A husband to m'lady." Said a mysterious voice. Turning around quickly Flame saw her Uncle Cosmos standing above her.

"Uncle Cosmos! Long time no see!" Flame said quickly. What was he doing here? Flame said in her head. "What brings you here?"

          Cosmos pulled her into a bear hug. "It's Galaxia. She had another foal! Her name is Luna, like the moon." He said choking up.

"Congrats! So is just you here? Or did you bring the whole family?" Flame asked.

         "It's just me. I actually came to ask you about you brother. Why were you not at the funeral?" Cosmos asked with tears in his eyes.

"That's the thing.....  I just found out today."

         After a lot of explaining, Fast Flame was invited to stay with Cosmos and Galaxia. Flame turned down the offer, and decided to stay at her kingdom. "My people need me . Besides I need to bear witness of the news to my subjects." Fast Flame said. Many days later she received a letter from her aunt amd uncle saying that on January 13th suiters would be showing up at her palace for her hand in mariage. That meant pretty dresses, makeup, and a load of other girly crap. Fast Flame hated girly crap.
