How quick it comes together?

Flash Sentry quietly patrolled the isolated hallways of the Crystal Empire. Out of his armour, he pulled a small photo. It was of Twilight Sparkle. Ever since he bumped into her, she was all he could think of her.

Crash “So sorry Princess” he mumbled getting up. The Princess of Friendship was in front of him. The one and only! Blushing, Flash helped her up. “Please Flash, call me Twilight, ‘Princess’ sounds so stuffy” Twilight said smiling.

“I guess I’ll be going” said Twilight.

“Sure” replied Flash.

“See you soon” commented Twilight,

“Um, Twilight? asked Flash.

“Yes?” answered Twilight.

“Are you free next Sunday?” questioned Flash. What are you doing Flash he thought. “Sure, see you then” replied Twilight.

Sunday...

“Hello Twilight” said Flash blushing. Flash and Twilight met at a quaint restaurant in Canterlot. “Hello Flash,” said Twilight, “How are you?”

“Good” replied Flash “I have to tell you something”.

“Wow same here! What were you going to say Flash?” Twilight exclaimed. “No, no you go first” Flash said.

“How about we say it together?” 1....2....3.... I have feelings for you!

“....”

No more words were needed, because they leaned in an kissed each other like they’ve never kissed before. “Something like that might work” whispered Twilight, kissing him again.

And who should enter the cafe, but Prince Shining Armour, captain of the royal guard, also Flash’s boss and Twilight’s big brother.

"What it in the world are you doing to my sister SENTRY" shouted Shining Armour.

"Shining, it's ok" reassured Twilight,"You don't need to worry, I was just....uuuhhh"

"Stay out of this Twiliy!" warned Shining .

Flash looked around nervously. Shining glared menacingly at him. Maybe asking Twilight out was a bad idea. A really bad idea Flash thought.

"Meet me in my office in 2 hours Sentry" said Shining.

2 hours later...

"You called me,Sir?" asked Flash, gulping anxiously.

"What was that?" asked Shining Armour.

"I'm so sorry, sir I-" explained Flash.

"What was that?" Shining Armour was looking for a clear response.

"...." Flash went silent.

"Well, Sentry?" interrogated Shining.

Boom "Flash, I was so worried about you since-" started Twilight.

"Ahem?" interrupted Shining Armour.

"Please, BBBFF, I really like Flash, don't hurt him!" cried Twilight. Shining sat quietly, thinking about his sister's words. Every since were little, Shining protected Twilight. Now she was growing up, but to Shining, she was still a little filly. Shining sighed, looking between Flash and Twilight.

"You really like him Twilight?" he whispered quietly.

Twilight nodding, tears in her eyes.

"Very well, take care of my sister Sentry- I mean, Flash" Shining. Without any further words, Twilight leapt towards leaned him and kissed him. Shining smiled quietly. His little sister doesn't seem to be so little any more.

That night...

"I'm so glad that worked out Flash" Twilight said. "No one can keep us apart, no one. Not even Shining" Flash wrapped his wing around Twilight. "I love you"

"I love you too"

A few weeks later...

"Cadence!" Twilight cried, hugging her sister-in-law Sunshine sunshine ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake! Twilight was in the Crystal Empire for the Royal Princesses Gathering.

"So, how is Flash?" asked Cadence, smirking.

"Wow Cadence, you never change" Twilight said laughing.

"As your sister-in-law, I'm going to tell you the positives and negatives of having a coltfriend" explained Cadence. "The good things are getting to love someone, it's a wonderful feeling! But another thing to consider are fights. The first fight is always what stings the most. You have to be careful."

"I will ,don't worry!" assured Twilight.

At dinner, Twilight and Cadence came from downstairs, giggling about their partners. "What are you two laughing about?" asked Shining Armour.

"About the first time you had to change Flurry's nappy!"

Shining Armour's face turned red as the sofa he was sitting on. "Well- uh- maybe you should tell Twilight when you changed Flurry's nappy for the first time" replied Shining. Now it was Cadence's turn to turn red. Twilight laughed. "Speaking of- Where is Flurry?" asked Twilight.

"She's playing with Sun Glitter" replied Cadence. Sun Glitter was Flurry Heart's best friend. They met it a park, and the two immediately hit it off. Surprisingly, Sun Glitter was the son of two farmers who didn't earn much. Both parents hit it off as well as the children. Now, Cadence and Shining helped Sun Glitter's family to live a better life.

Twilight hurried upstairs.

"Flurry! Your Aunty Twily is here!" said Twilight. Flurry and Sun Glitter looked up from their toy castle. Twilight noticed Sun Glitter's golden flowing mane was covered in purple and pink cupcake sprinkles. "Flurry, have you been eating cupcakes?" questioned Twilight. Flurry gurgled mischievously. Twilight laughed and picked up her niece. "Play nicely, okay?" Flurry made a noise which sounded like an 'okay'.

"Flurry's gotten so big!" said Twilight, coming down the stairs.

"It's hard to believe she's 6 months old already!" replied Cadence.

"You and me both!"

A few months later

The shimmering, sparkling moon shone in the reflection of the lake. The trees gently shook, and the leaves fell, crunching beneath Flash and Twilight's hooves as they trotted along quietly. "Twilight, we've been dating for a while" Flash said.

"And that's a good thing, right?" Twilight smiled.

"I love you but I think- I think, I need a break..." Flash whispered.

"What are you saying" Twilight said, looking hurt.

"I'm breaking up with you" said Flash.

"NO, you can't!" Twilight cried.

Tears streamed down Twilight's heartbroken face as she ran off. As she ran, Flash's heart broke seeing her, for he didn't want to leave her. He still loved her just as much. Flash wiped his tears. He needed to man up. Looking into the sunset, he imagined all their happy memories they shared in that park.

Flashback...

"This is so nice of you to take me to such a calm quiet place" thanked Twilight.

"It's the least I can do as your coltfriend. After all, you were the one who taught me how to love!" said Flash mischievously.

"You kidder!" laughed Twilight. The pair galloped towards the sunset, leaving behind all worries.

"We'll leave all thoughts about the future-" started Twilight.

"Till some future day..." finished Flash.

Now...

Tears of solitude fell from Flash's face. Flash couldn't hide them, and he wasn't ashamed of them. He just broke up with the one pony he truly loved most. Flash didn't want to break up, for there was another who forced him to...
