Collide

It’s the next morning and Flurry and her father are in the kitchen. The bakery was closed due to them making the cake the king has ordered. They were already on their fifth layer, just halfway to go.

A knock was heard. “Stay here Flurry, and put your hood on”, Flurry’s father said.

Flurry nodded and did what she was told.

The baker went to the door and took a deep breath. He breathed out and opened the door.

It was revealed to be Lapis.

“I’m sorry, we’re closed ma’am”, the baker said.

“No no, I’m not a customer. I’ve been sent here to get somepony”, Lapis said.

“Sent by who?”

“The princess”

The baker raised a brow and said, “And who does she want?”

“Flurry Heart”

The baker was shocked. How does the princess know Flurry and why does she want her?

“C-come in”, the baker said and opened the door for Lapis.

Lapis walked in and the baker said, “Have a seat, I’ll be back”.

Lapis nodded and took a seat. The baker went back to the kitchen.

Flurry took off her hood and said, “Who is it sir?”

“Someone from the palace apparently, the princess wants you”

Flurry gasped and smiled.

Flurry’s father was confused. “Am I missing something”, he said.

“Oh! I might have forgotten to tell you that the princess came by yesterday while you were gone and I’m kinda friends with her”, Flurry said.

“You’re kidding”, Flurry’s father said.

“Sir, I’ll be fine. If the princess wants me, I should go”

“But-“, Flurry’s father said before he got interrupted.

Flurry used her puppy eyes on her father.

The baker sighed and the two walked to out of the kitchen, to Lapis.

Lapis was shocked to see Flurry.

“Uh hello, you must be Flurry, the princess told me a lot about you”, Lapis said, sounding nervous.

“So are we going?”, Flurry asked.

“Wait, before you two go, I have two questions”, the baker said.

“Daddd”, Flurry said.

“I’m listening”, Lapis said.

“So how long will Flurry be gone?”, the baker asked.

“Well . . . as long as the princess wants her”, Lapis said.

“Next question, does the king know about this?”

“Ohhh about that”, Lapis said.

Both Flurry and her father raised a brow.

“The king doesn’t know Flurry is coming”

“What?”, the baker said.

“I’m actually going to sneak Flurry in”

“What?”

“And then-“, Lapis said until she was interrupted by Flurry.

“Woah woah woah, Lapis, stop. Dad, I’ll be fine. I’ll be extra careful. Please.”, Flurry said.

Flurry’s father sighed and said, “Okay, just keep your hood on when there is strangers”

“I know Dad”, Flurry said as she rolled her eyes.

“So can we go now?”, Lapis said.

“Yeah, I’m ready”, Flurry said as she puts on her hood.

So the girls waved goodbye and left, going to the castle.
