Chapter 5: Moments

Twilight was having trouble sleeping one night. She kept tossing and turning, but couldn't sleep. Eventually she gave up, and started walking around the castle. When Twilight got to the library, she reached for the doorknob, and heard somepony shout. "HALT! SHOW YOURSELF!" When she turned around, there was spear pointing at her. Twilight was scared to death. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. I wasn't doing anything wrong." Twilight responded, trembling. Then she realized that it was just Flash, but he looked like he was upset at her. "I'm sorry?" Twilight apologized in question. Flash lowered his weapon of defense, to the ground.

"What are you doing out here, Princess?" Flash asked. "Aren't you suppose to be asleep by now?"

Twilight look to the ground, ashamed. "I couldn't." She answered.

"You couldn't, what?" Flash question.

"Sleep." Twilight answered, again. "So, I just came to read. You know for awhile, just to occupy my brain."

Flash shook his head. "You should still get some sleep." Flash told her. "It is dangerous out here, and you need to be awake tomorrow, for the parade, your majesty."

"Oh, right." Twilight said. "I forgot about that. And this is my own castle, it's not dangerous."

Flash looked at Twilight, embarrassed. "Well... anything could happen."

"Yeah, I guess you are right." Twilight smiled. "But I still can't sleep."

Flash thought for a moment. "Well maybe this might work, come with me." Flash said. "That's if you want to?"

Twilight smiled, but didn't say anything. Flash turned around, and started walking. Twilight followed him. Soon enough Flash had lead Twilight to the balcony. He opened the doors, but Twilight looked at him in confusion.

"Flash, why did you..." But Twilight's words were cut off.

"Shh... look at the sky." Flash said, pointing to where he was talking about. Twilight was still confused, until she looked at the sky. She gasped in shock.

"I... I don't believe it. It's the meteor shower." Twilight went on. "How did you know it was tonight? I mean, I didn't even know. But I'm not saying that, you know, your unskilled or anything but, this is amazing."

Flash smiled. "Let's just say, I remembered it from somepony." Flash told her. He was just happy that Twilight was excited to watch the meteor shower. But then a question popped into his head. "May I take off my helmet, your majesty?"

Twilight looked back at Flash. "Of course you can." Then Twilight got curious once more. "When did you start calling me, your majesty?"

After Flash took his helmet, he thought for a moment. "Umm.... I guess, right now." He try explain. Twilight's smile just got bigger. Finally Flash couldn't take it anymore. He started flying, and hovered in front of Twilight. He held out his hoof, and asked. "Do you trust me?"

Twilight stared at him. "Excuse me?" Twilight asked.

"Do you trust me?" Flash asked again.

Twilight looked into Flash's eyes. "Yes." Twilight answered. She spreaded out her wings, and placed her hoof in his. Flash tried to pull her closer, Twilight just walked. Finally Twilight realized that Flash wanted to fly in the night, with her. Twilight started flapping her wings, to reach where Flash was flying. Flash looked into Twilight eyes, they shined brighter than the night stars. They both started flying through the sky, and smiled. To Twilight this was a dream come true, well kind of. That went more for Flash. He was just soaring through the clouds, with Princess Twilight. The mare that warmed his heart with joy, happiness, and love.

"Let's stop here." Flash suggested, pointing at the cloud close to them. Twilight smiled and nodded, once more.

Flash let Twilight sit on the cloud before him. Twilight still smiled, not saying anything. Flash landed on the cloud, beside Twilight. She was just looking at the sky with amazement. Flash smiled, when Twilight started shivering.

"Are you cold, Princess?" Flash asked.

Twilight shook her head. "It's not that cold." She answered.

Flash kept looking at her. He could still see Twilight shivering, so he did the only thing he knew. Flash scooted closer to Twilight, and draped his wing around her. When he did that, Twilight face turned a bright red, but she didn't dare look at Flash. Eventually she got use to having Flash's wing over her, that she scooted closer and rested her head on Flash's shoulder, and looked into the sky with pleasure. He looked down at her. She was right beside him, he couldn't think of anything more perfect, than this moment. Twilight nuzzled him, as he did to her back. About forty-five minutes went by, and all Flash and Twilight did was nuzzling, small chuckles and giggles, and smile at each other. Finally Flash piped up.

"You should really be getting some sleep, Princess." Flash insisted.

Twilight nodded. "I have to be awake, when I am organizing a parade." She replied.

Flash smiled, as Twilight did the same. The two flew back. Flash helped Twilight, as she was a little drowsy. Soon enough they both got to the castle, safely. Twilight was so sleepy by then, that she was tripping over her own hooves. Flash helped Twilight get to her bedroom, when they both got there to the door Twilight said something surprising.

"Can you tuck me in?" Twilight asked.

Flash was confused. What she asked, was something a filly would asked their parents. Was he suppose to say yes or no. Walk away or not. He was never so stumped in his life, until this moment. Twilight just look at him. But finally he gave up, and nodded his head. Twilight opened the door with her magic, and walked in, Flash followed. He didn't think this was a good idea, but to him since he already said yes, there is no turning back. Twilight slipped into her bed, and looked at Flash. He walked over to her, and sat at Twilight's bed side. Flash then saw Twilight close her eyes, and say her last words before going to sleep.

"Good-night, Flash." Twilight said, then she went into a deep sleep. Flash could see the smile on her face.

Flash smiled, while saying, "Good-night, my beloved princess." And with that he went out of her room, and closed the door behind himself. "And these are how moments are made." Flash said to himself, quietly. He put on his helmet, and looked back at Twilight door, saying. "I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe my princess." He looked around the castle, with nothing in sight, and began to guard the princess's door. "I promise."
