Romantic Getaway (Sort of)

Twilight and Flash continued their trot down the river. After a few hours of walking, they began to tire.

"Flash..." Twilight was breathing heavily from the long trot. "What time is... it?" She asked. "It's... oh boy, 5:00... We should set up camp." Flash suggested. He found a tree that looked similar to the one they had camped under before. "This one looks good... I am going to start a fire and get some more water. Twilight, you go find some extra firewood." He said. "Got it." She complied. Flash and Twilight split up. Flash tried to find some firewood. He ended up finding some dry wood, and he attempted to start a fire. Meanwhile, Twilight was trying to find some firewood too. She was careful not to go so far, as she didn't want to lose the camp site. She spotted some dry branches, and tore them off. She didn't have Flash's knife so she put in a bit more effort. After tearing the branch off and taking hold of it, something startled her. She heard... growling, coming from behind her.

She quickly turned around and saw two wolves cornering her. "Fl- Flash!" She shouted as she backed up against the tree. "FLASH!" She yelled this time, and Flash heard it, and the wolves were closing in on her.

Crap! "Twilight hang on!" Flash dashed toward her location. Twilight was scared as the wolves approached her, and she backed down against the tree.Flash arrived and witnessed the what was happening before him. "Twilight... don't... move..." Flash commanded.

She listened, and stood as still as possible. Staring the wolves in it's menacing eyes.Flash slowly approached. The wolves noticed and turned toward him.

"Hey!" Flash shouted and whistled, getting their attention. He held his hoof up. "Over here, keep your eyes on me boys!" The wolves slowly approached him and stopped growling. "Good. Good." Flash turned to Twilight who was looking at him. He gestured her to hide with a flick of his head. Twilight dashed out of there and hid behind a tree. Flash was attempting to allure the wolfs. Until, he noticed their eyes. Then he looked at their coat, and their form. They looked strangely familiar.

The're the same ones from last time...

"Hey... you guys remember me?" The two wolves barked. "Of course you do..." They continued to sit down in the snow, looking at him. "Twilight, it's safe to come out now." Twilight exposed herself from the tree, and trotted to Flash. Once the wolfs saw her, they shot up to a stance and started growling. Twilight gasped and stepped back.

"Hey! Stop!" He pointed at them with his hoof. But they didn't respond. Flash pointed his hoof to Twilight, and then back to him. "She's a friend." He said. Flash gestured Twilight to get closer to him, and so she did. She was shaking in fear. "Friend." He said again. The wolves seized growling, and sat down again. Flash took a sigh of relief, and turned to Twilight. "You okay?" He asked. "Yes... I'm fine. Just a bit... shaken." She responded.

"Twilight, these are the same wolves from before." Twilight was shocked. "Do you think they followed us?" She asked. Flash started to approach them, and knelt down in front of them. "Maybe... look at their stomachs." Twilight looked, and noticed their rib cage was showing and they were thin. "They must be hungry..." She concluded. Flash started rubbing the wolfs' neck with his hoof. He then got up and approached Twilight. "Twi, I think we should give them our fish." Twilight looked at him with a blank face. "Flash... that's our food. I don't know if we should-"

"Twilight, look at them!" Twilight inspected the wolfs closer. She could tell they were hungry. "We could always just catch more fish... I kind of feel bad for them." Twilight looked at them again, this time straight in the eyes. "Okay Flash... But we need to catch another one right after."

"Right, I know." Flash whistled with his hoof, and the wolves shot up. Then, he gestured them to follow him.

How is he doing that... It kind of reminds me when Fluttershy...

As they were leading the wolfs back to the camp site, Twilight asked Flash. "Flash, how are you taming them like that?" She asked.

"Oh, well believe it or not Shift worked at the zoo before he became a guard." He chuckled and so did Twilight.

"Really?"

"Yup, he taught me how to command or tame different kinds of animals. I decided to use it in my trials because I didn't want to um... 'Hurt' them.'" Twilight cringed.

"So, how did you command the wolves then?"

"Well, it's kind of a dominance thing. The wolfs try to threaten you, and if you run away they consider you food. However, if you stand your ground and try to tell them you're the boss, they back down."

"I see..." Flash and Twilight arrived the camp site. Flash walked over to the bag of food, and pulled out the cut fish. The wolves noticed this, and approached him.

"Twilight, watch this."

Twilight looked at Flash as he held the fish up high, wiggled it in front of one of the wolves, and then brought it lower to the ground. He then through it up in the air, and the wolf caught it. "Flash, that's awesome! Do you think maybe I could try?" She asked. "Sure, here." Flash handed her the fish, and she held it with her hoof. The other wolf brought it's attention to her. "Okay, bring it up high, and shake it." Twilight did as he said, and moved it high up and shook it in front of the other wolf. "Now, bring it low so he can sniff it, don't be afraid if he gets close to you." He said.

Twilight brought it in front of the wolf, and it came up and sniffed the fish. Twilight was feeling a bit nervous, but continued. "Okay, now throw it high!" He commanded. Twilight threw the fish up in the air and the wolf caught it. Flash started clapping his hooves. "Good job Twilight!"

"Thanks Flash." Twilight said smiling at him. Flash whistled again with his hoof and it got the wolves attention. He waved his hoof and gestured them to go. "Shoo! Shoo!" He shouted, and the wolfs retreated into the forest.

"Well, I'm glad that's over with..." He said.

"Flash, why couldn't they stay with us? They looked pretty loyal to me..."

"I was thinking you'd ask that. Wolfs usually travel in packs of three. There is an alpha wolf that commands them, and the other two follow. Alphas are usually bigger, so when I saw they were both the same size, the alpha wasn't with them."

"So, they had to leave because if the alpha found them with you..."

"He'd find me as a threat. And since he's the leader the other wolfs might think so too and turn on me."

"I see..."

Twilight decided to changed the subject. "Flash, how about you go get another fish, and I will start a fire. It should be ready when you get back if you're cold."

"Sounds good." Flash grabbed his spear, and headed off to the river to fish. Meanwhile Twilight started a fire.

I might even be better than Flash at starting fires! She said in her mind with a smirk.

After Flash returned with the food, he sat down next to Twilight who was next to the fire. "Hey Flash, I found more cherries." She said, and brought the food bag over to him."

"Oh good. Do you want to have the fish for dinner or just the cherries. Or both?"

"Um, I will just stick with the cherries, I'm not really in the mood for fish..."

"Yeah, me neither. I guess I'll save it then."

He set the fish in the food bag along with some snow, then he sat next to Twilight again and ate some cherries along with her. After Twilight ate a particular one, she started breathing heavily, and sweating. "Oh man... too hot! Flash I need water!" Flash quickly handed the water to Twilight. After she jugged down nearly half of it Flash had some too. He chuckled a bit. "Did you eat a really hot one?" He asked. "Yeah, I guess Frostfires have different intensities..."

After eating dinner, it was pitch black out, but the fire was making a very sufficient light source for them. Twilight stopped for a moment when she felt an annoyance behind her, and looked at her wings. She hadn't preened them in a while, so they looked messy. But then her mind got a dirty idea.

You know you want to do it Twilight... Wait... No what am I thinking! We are in a survival situation! How could... But I may not get another chance with him... But it's against royal order, but wait... who cares about the royal order out here in the forest! Maybe, one time? Wait no I can't!

Her mind was taking over, and so was her lust. Before she knew it, she had crossed the line. Not just a line, the line, the mother of all lines. 'That' line. "Hey um... uh, Flash?" She asked as she blushed.

"Hmm?" He responded.

"Would you care to... tend to my wings?"

Flash gasped and almost fell back.

Did she really just ask to... no she probably just forgot what me preening her wings means... But then Flash saw the seductive look on her face, the blush, and noticed she was circling the ground with her hoof.

Holy buck she's serious... Flash's fave turned red.

"Uh... um... Twilight I'm flattered... But you know the reason why we can't do thi-" He was interrupted by her kissing him intensely on the lips.

Flash had his eyes open in shock. After she broke off, she responded.

"I have a million more why we should..." She said smiling. Flash caught her message. They would probably never have a chance to do this again. When they got back to Equestra, Flash's captain could fire him, and Celestia might not approve of their relationship. He was interrupted in his thoughts by Twilight kissing him again, this time with more passion, and she put her hooves around his neck. So much so she made a soft moan, and it was luring in Flash.

As much as I want too... I can't do this... But then he had another thought.

But... why can't we?.. No one would know... and we might not be able to do it again...

When Twilight confessed to him, sex was the last thing on Flash's mind. He wanted to let their relationship grow a bit more until that.

But after he realized this may be the only chance to do it, he started to change his mind.

All caught up in his thoughts, Twilight was starting to lean into Flash while she was kiss him, making him lay down.

This is my last chance... Do I push her away... or do I go through with it? Then Flash looked up at her face when she broke away, and marveled at it for a second.

Twilight paused.

"Flash... are you... okay with this?"

Flash decided... Okay, I'll do it!

He nodded, and Twilight climbed on top of him.

What ensued was one of Flash and Twilight's most memorable nights of their lives.

They slept peacefully together in each other's arms that night.
