My Icy Rescuer

Arctic couldn't fall asleep. He had one question in mind. Did he have really had a crush on Twilight? Or is it just puppy love? 'UGH! I don't KNOW! The thought wouldn't leave his mind. Talking to her was different than talking to any other girls he met even when he was with the Adagio and her sisters. Then again, no one could ever hold a conversation with him at school. And he thought that Twilight was attractive. But... Is a crush only that? Suddenly, he thought of something Iron once told Daniel, a 12-year old girl from the orphanage.

Flashback

"Iron, can I ask you something?" Danielle said with a little blush. Iron simply nodded. "I sometimes have these dreams about this boy, and we do... things. And when I wake up, I have this wet spot. Is it normal?"

Iron blushed a bit. Since the kids in the orphanage had no parents to give them talks about this, Iron, being the smartest kid in the orphanage, was often the person they go to.

Iron placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'll tell you when you're older."

Flashback End

"When you're older," Arctic mumbled. He knew that Iron often use this answer because he found it embarrassing to talk to children about this, but Arctic was desperate to find out. He decided to check his laptop when another memory about Iron giving advice came into his mind.

Flashback

A boy named Color Stripe tugged at Iron sleeve.

"Hey Color Stripe, what's the matter?"

"Well, I have these weird thoughts about... Sapphire Blue." Color said, his face all red.

"The girl you always compete with?" Color nodded. "And what kind of thought are you thinking?"

"Well... sometimes... about... kissing her. Do you think I love her?"

"Well..." Iron thought for a moment. "Only you can figure out your own feelings for Sapphire."

Flashback End

"Only I can figure out my own feelings," Arctic mumbled again. He looked at the clock,

12:48 A.M. He let himself fall on his bed, hoping to fall asleep soon.

Arctic yawned. Somehow, he managed to fall asleep. Since it was still dawn, he decided to go outside and do some exercises. As he was doing some curl-ups, Anthony went outside and sat beside Arctic.

"Caught any sleep?" Anthony asked.

"Yep," Arctic grunted as he curled up.

"I didn't," Anthony said as he watched Arctic. Anthony suddenly looked behind him and saw his brother walking up to the two of them.

"Hey." Iron said.

"Can't sleep either?" Asked Arctic as he started push-ups.

"Yeah." Said Iron. The three were silent. The only sound that can be heard was Anthony's short bursts of breaths. Suddenly, Iron spoke.

"Hey, Arctic. Can I ask you a favor?"

"Alright shoot," Arctic said as he sat down, sweat all over his body.

"Can you make pancakes for the younger ones in our orphanage this afternoon? I know that it's my job but something came up."

"What came up?" Arctic crossed his arms, getting curious.

"That doesn't matter." Iron said with a little blush.

"Then no. If a man has a task, he should fulfill that task." Arctic said.

"Alright, I have a date." Iron reluctantly admits.

"Oh my. Is my big bro finally getting laid?" Anthony chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll cook. It's about time you get a girl."

"No, I don't trust you enough with young children." Iron glared at Anthony. "So, Arctic?"

"Sure. I'll make pancakes for the younger ones." Arctic nods his head.

"You'll find the ingredients in the kitchen. But if you need something extra, I could give you some money and you can cook some more of something else if you want like cupcakes"

"Fine," Arctic said as he started to go back to his room, where he got cleaned up and got ready.

Later that morning, Iron asked Arctic to go shopping, as the younger ones wanted pancakes and when Arctic went for breakfast, Chef Gustave said that he was all out of ingredients for it. So Arctic is going shopping but Anthony insisted coming along with him.

"Why did you came along with me?" Asked Arctic to Anthony as they entered the supermarket

"Twilight lives in this part of town, right?" Arctic nods at him. "And if I'm not here, you won't come back because she and you will forget the time during your-"

"Do you want to freeze you to death?" Arctic glared at Anthony.

"Shutting up," said Anthony, fearing for his life. The two boys then proceeded to search the store for ingredients for their pancakes.

"You take the first half of the list, I'll take the second half," said Arctic. "We'll meet up at counter 4 after we got all the items on the list.

"Arctic?" Arctic heard his name from behind him. He turns around and saw the girl that had been in his thoughts all night. And with her was Pinkie Pie.

"Twilight. Pinkamena." Said Arctic.

"What are you doing here?" Twilight asked.

"I'm here with Anthony to buy some ingredients for pancakes."

"Hey, Twilight. Who's this sweet beauty?" Asked Anthony, who managed to get a blush from Pinkie Pie. "I never knew Arctic was planning a-" SLAM! "OH, THE PAIN!" said Anthony as Arctic crushed his foot with a stomp.

"Behave yourself will ya?" Arctic said in anger as Anthony laid on the floor.

"HEY, that wasn't very nice!" Pinkie scolded at him.

"I know. But this guy..." Arctic kicked Anthony forward. "... doesn't behave very well around girls."

"But it's not very nice to hurt a friend." Said Pinkie Pie, who was now centimeters in front of Artic. Arctic stood his ground, refused to give in Pinkie's stare and decided to change the subject.

"So, what are you girls doing in here?" asked Arctic.

"We're buying ingredients for Pinkie's cupcakes." said Twilight.

"And I already have the Special Ingredient back home." said Pinkie.

"I know! How about we split up?" Anthony suggests. "That way, we could both cover the store and get our respective ingredients?"

"That's a great idea. I'll go with Anthony while you, Twilight go with Arctic. See you guys later!" Pinkie said, speeding off with Anthony in tow.

Arctic and Twilight remained there and slowly looked at each other and looked away with a blush. Arctic then remembered why he was here. He looks at his list and started his search, while Twilight followed him.

The four met up on the counter line and paid for their ingredients.

"Hey, would you girls like to come over tonight?' Asked Arctic.

"Anthony..." Arctic growled.

"Hold on, let me check my schedule." Said Pinkie as she pulls out a small notebook out of her hair. Out of curiosity, Arctic decided to look at her notebook, only to find several random lines and drawings on it.

"Pinkamena, NO! I have had it with your sugary treats. Besides, the kids at the orphanage would not sleep well with a sugar bomb for dinner." Arctic said, but Pinkie ignored him as she returned her notebook inside her hair.

"Sorry, I can't attend." Said Pinkie. 'But Twilight here can."

"What?" Said Twilight.

"That would be great. See you guys at 6:00 P.M." Said Anthony, and the two boys left. Once outside the store, Arctic smacked Anthony on the back of his head.

"Hey, what was that for?" Asked Anthony, holding the back of his head.

"Why of all the power in the universe did you ask them to come to the orphanage?" Asked Arctic angry.

"Believe me. You need this." Anthony said. Arctic sighed.

Meanwhile, Twilight just stared at Pinkie as she watched the two boys walking away.

"Don't thank me Twilight. You're quite welcome." Said Pinkie.

Twilight started to blush again as they walked to Pinkie's home to bake her muffins.

Canterlot Jail, Level 1, Cell A7.

Flash, was sitting on his bed with his arms on his knees with his forehead against his arms. He hasn't stopped crying since he came to the Canterlot Jail. The wardens even the prisoners there were giving them all glares. They even threatened Flash, Snips, and Snails to kill them if they ever come close to them. But that's not what hurt Flash the most.

What hurts him the most was his father told him with a cold tone "You are not my son! You are a disgrace!" At that moment Flash's heart broke. Even his own father doesn't believe him. Despite all this, Flash still believes he's innocent.

"If I really tried to … rape and murder Twilight, then why the buck can't I remember anything about it!" He exclaimed in himself.

He stood up walking around in circles in his orange prisoner uniform. Trying to find a solution.

After an hour trying to think of something, he gave up and sat against the wall looking at the ground before him. A tear dropped on the floor. "Why can't I remember?"

Suddenly he heard something inside his head. A noise, it was getting louder by the second. Flash holds his hand on his ears. He hoped that the noise would stop, but is was going louder and LOUDER!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH, What is that noise? WHAT IS THAT DAMN NOISE?! SOMEONE, ANYONE PLEASE STOP IT!

Flash was rolling his body over the floor, with no idea how to stop the sound in his head. Then he lost conscious.

?????

Dark, everything was dark.

"Where am I?" Flash looked around, trying to recognize something but he couldn't see anything.

Flash started walking around. "I have to end to end up somewhere." As he continued walking in the dark. He started hearing whispering voices.

"Please Flash, stop. You're hurting me." A crying voice said. Flash was looking around where to find the source of the voice but he didn't see anyone.

"No Flash, please! Don't hurt me." There was it again! But this time the voice was much louder and Flash recognized the voice. "Twilight?"

As soon as he said her name his dark surroundings changed. He was now in a dark ally. Wait this is close to… "Stop! Please! I can't take much more of this!" Flash quickly ran off to Twilight. There he saw her on her knees crying, she was also wounded. She had bruises all over her and a little blood on her head from a cut.

Flash kneeled next to her trying to comfort her and wanted to apologize to her for everything that has happened. "Twilight I'm so…" When he was about to touch her, his hand disappeared right through her. Like a ghost. "What the..." Was all Flash could say.

He heard an evil laugh and two snickers. Flash looked at the ground and then up. He saw familiar shoes and pants… it was, it was him! Flash was standing in front of himself. The other 'him' had an evil smirk on his face. Looking at Twilight without mercy.

"Hey Flash, what are we going to do with this one then?" Snips asked.

"You know what happens to pretty girls." His evil self-said with a smirk. The real Flash knew exactly what they were gonna do to her. He stood in front of the three boys, ready to defend Twilight. "You want her? Then you'll have to go through me!" He exclaimed.

However, he forgot one thing. He's a ghost. So the three boys ran right through him. Flash tried to grab them, tried to hit them and kick them but nothing worked. He closed his eyes as he saw the three boys starting to remove her skirt. Flash then felt something cold going through his body. When he opens his eyes to see what that cold was, he sees Arctic standing between Twilight who was still unconscious and the three boys who were knocked out and they were… frozen as well?

This made Flash curious. Arctic Ice is an 'ok guy' in Flash's books but how was he able to knock out and froze his evil self AND Snips AND Snails as well? But what Arctic did next, made Flash looking at him with great respect. Arctic took Twilight's clothes and helped her getting her clothes back on while she was still unconscious. Then carried her on his back away from the dark alley.

"Thank you, Arctic Ice. At least there is still someone protecting my friend." After Flash finished his line the room changed once again.

"Hey Dirty Douche! Wake up!"

"Huh? What?" Flash opened his eyes he was lying on the ground of his cell. One of the wardens was looking at him behind the bars. "Get your lazy ass up here. It's time for dinner."

Reluctantly Flash stood up while the warden opened his cell and motioned to follow him to the cafeteria.

"Soon my Puppet you will be mine!"
