A little Sparkling Blaze

Candance's POV

Me and Shadow were on ouroutr way to Aria and Rainbow Dash's house. When Shadow came back yesterday I wasn't expecting him to want to go there. But he told me he had met Sparkling and told her he would go see her. It's hard to believe that this is the same girl I saved a long time ago. I've always wondered how she was doing but know Aria and Dash has always been more Twilight's friends and not mine, so I just felt awkward going. But now's as good a time as ever to go. I can tell Shadow really likes Sparkling I hope this goes alright for them. We finally get there and I knock on the door.

I hear the opening of the door,and I could tell it was Sparkling just grown up,she was shorter than both her moms,but now looked more like Aria than ever,except for the curly hair and she didn't wear make up.

She looked at me."Hey Candance.I'll tell moms you guys arrived they're taking care of my sisters."She then turns to Shadow."I'm glad to see you again."She smiles at him."Enter you two make yourselves at home."

She then leaves to get her moms.Soon they were here with their other daughters on their lap.

Sparkling then gets Shadow's hand and says she has something to show him and asks him to follow her,they go up the stairs.

"Hey Candance, been awhile." Dash says.

"Yeah it's been too long." I tell her.

"I'm sure you remember Aria."

"Doing a lot better then last I saw you." I said to Aria.

"Definitely, I also have these two now."

"They're so cute."

"Thanks this is Tree and Paper." She looks around and sees that Sparkling and Shadow are already gone. "They go upstairs?" Aria asked.

"Yeah Sparkling said she had something she wanted to show him."

I saw the look Aria and Dash share. "What are you two worried about?"

When they hear an guitar plucking,and what I assume was Sparkling singing they both sigh of relief.

"She's just showing him the song."Dash tells Aria.

"What's going on?"I ask them.

Aria sighed:

"Look my daughter is in love with your brother,by the way Dash tells me he looks at her he is in love with her too,and my daughter is a siren and sirens have sex with who they really love really quickly."

"Oh and you thought?" I laughed awkwardly a little. "You said they just met yesterday would they really move that fast?"

"You don't know much about sirens do you?" Aria asked me.

"No I don't."

"Well she would want to. And if she was over all that's happened to her she would ask him."

"And if she did Shadow wouldn't tell her no. And ooooh I see your point."

"If it was just them having sex that wouldn't be all that bad. But a siren gets pregnant really easy."

"And neither of them are ready to have kids."

"Yeah so we need to talk to them about it."

"We will after she finishes showing him the song,I think she is still being cautious around him,how she doesn't know if he loves her too."We hear the guitar stop and a chatter upstairs I wonder what's going on.

Sparkling's POV

I stop playing my guitar.I hope he feels the same.

"I wrote this song for you...I'm...I'm in love with you Shadow.And I know what you're gonna tell me that things are moving too fast and you barely know me.But it just feels right do you get it?"

I wanted to lean in and give him a kiss,but I had to wait for the answer even if I loved him I couldn't make him love me.

Shadow's POV

Love me? She doesn't know me. Is this really happening? "I...well you see..." I feel it too but would it be right to move this fast? She told me she wasn't sure who she was is this really what she wants or would I be taking advantage of her? "I..." I see a see a look of fear in Sparkling's eyes. Not knowing what to say I leaned in and kissed her. I was scared she would pull away but I felt her start to kiss me back. "I love you too." I tell her after we break the kiss.

Sparkling's POV

"You love me too?"I say not sure of how to follow.My instinct tells me to kiss him again. I go and sit by his side instead,I take a hold of his hand and smile at him."That's great.I was afraid you wouldn't....Do you wanna go to the lake later?I think it'd make for a pretty romantic first date...Or we can also go to sugarcube corner."

What was I saying?When I less know it I hear mom calling me and Candance calling Shadow.

Shadow's POV

I can't believe this is happening. I lean in for another kiss but instead Sparkling sits beside me and asks me where I want to go on a date. I don't know where we should go, but I'm up for anything she wants to do. When she suggests Sugarcube Corner or the lake both sound like fun. But before I can answer I hear her mom and my sister call for both of us.

"I guess we better go see what they want." I tell her. "But I have a feeling I know." Me and Sparkling went down stairs.

Sparkling's POV

While we were going downstairs,I turn to Shadow:

"I'm sorry if mom is kinda intense at first,she doesn't really trust men because of my father."

Aria's POV

I see them both coming downstairs,their look more in love than ever,she confessed...By the way Sparkling was looking at him probably had their first kiss...and were planning a date.

I didn't like this.

"You two we need to have a talk."

"About what?" Shadow asked. I could tell he was scared of me. Good I could use that. "You think you're in love right?" I asked him.

"Yeah we are." Shadow said.

"You two are already planning a date aren't you?"

"Yeah, or rather we were."

"And how were you planning on finishing that date?"

"What do you mean?"

"Come on I'm not that old....ok I am that old. But even I know what you two were playing. You were going to have a nice romantic date, then sneak in here and make me and Dash grandparents."

Shadow got a really scared look in his face. "We were...I mean..if she."

"Do you have a point?" Candace cut me off having seen enough.

"I was just having a bit of fun with him." I told her. Then I turned back to Shadow and Sparkling. "I don't like the idea of you two being together. But I can also tell you love each other and if I make Sparkling choice she'll pick you over me. But you two need to wait to have sex. A siren gets pregnant really easy."

"But mom,I-I wasn't..."Sparkling starts to tell me.

"Yeah you were,I know you were Sparkling all sirens are like that with who they love or do you think this is normal,that you wrote a love song,kissed him, were planning on a date with him and are having that talk on the second day you're seeing each other."

"But mom..."

"No buts Sparkling just promise me you're not gonna have sex now you're not ready to be a mom,he's not ready to be a dad,and your body is really weak to handle a siren pregnancy."

"Ari stop."Dash cuts me off."You're being too harsh on both of them,I know what happened to you and what your niece saw but you have to calm down."

"No I'm not going to sit back and just watch it happen. We both know what this is going to lead to."

"We talked about this. We agreed we wouldn't stop them."

"No we said we would let them be together."

"Oh so you know a way to stop this now?"

"Aria." Cadance cut in. "I don't know what this is all about but I think it would be best for me and Shadow to leave till you figure this out."

Shadow looked to Sparkling. "Want to come with us?"

Sparkling looked at me and Dash."Can I?"

I wouldn't let it happen:

"N-"

"Yes you can Sparkling just catch your purse with your necessities."Dash told her and she went upstairs running,came back and went with them leaving me and Dash alone.

"Aria what was that all about?We talked about this earlier.Why are you panicked this way,you know we won't be able to stop it anyway."

"I just don't wanna lose her."

"And you want her to be unhappy?She's so happy with him."

"It won't last."

"Really? What makes you say that? Are we going to last?"

I couldn't believe she was asking that. "If course we will. Nothing would ever break us up."

Dash sighed. "And why will we last?"

"Because we love each other and will always...." I realized what Dash had just done. "But that's different."

"No it's not. Aria they love each other and we can't stop what's going to happen. But she's happy."

"I don't want to lose her."

"You think I do? But you know I'm right."

"I do....Just hope she doesn't you know that soon."

"All we can do is hope Ari."

Sparkling's POV

"Sorry about mom guys...Her past with guys isn't the best."I tell them kinda ashamed of what just happened.

"It's ok Sparkling."Candance tells me."What was that all about?"

"Well you see as she said sirens can get pregnant easy,and they normally do sex with who they love as soon as possible...But me and my sisters aren't here because of that.We're here because Forced Entry raped mom 3 times,the first ended up in me being born,the second in a stillbirth,and the third on my little sisters.I think mom is scared Shadow migh be like that."I realize the implications of that."Nothing personal.Just she doesn't trust any man....And she's also scared cause I wouldn't tell him no."I then realize what I said and blush.

Shadow's POV

"I understand." I told Sparkling. "No one would trust men if that had happened to them." Then I realized what Sparkling meant by not telling me no and I blushed a bit too.

Cadance laughed. "You two are so cute. And not to spoil your two's plans but that's not going to happen today. I believe you two should wait at least until you get to know each other and know this is really what you want."

As much as I hated to admit it Cadance was right.

"You two still want to go on that date? I can drop you two off somewhere and come and get you later."She asked me and Sparkling.

"Yeah, I tell her. How about we start off at Sugarcube corner and go from there?"

"Alright."

Cadance dropped me and Sparkling off and left. The two of us walked in and found a table and sat down.

Sparkling's POV

Having growing up around here and with Pinkie being best friends with my aunt,and mom Dash and her other friends,I hadn't have to say what I wanted in sugarcube corner in ages Pinkie would always see me,probably hug me,and I would ask her for the usual.

Becca had also been coming here more often with her boyfriend being Pinkie's son.

So Pinkie saw me went up to me and hugged me as tight as aunt Sony would then let go."Oooh you and Shadow I can see it working.The usual?"

I nod then turn to Shadow."What about you?"

Shadow's POV

"I'll take a piece of apple pie and something to wash it down with."

Pinkie scribbled it down "Okie dokie!" And she was gone in a pink blur.

Me and Sparkling sat there as a kinda awkward silence fell on us. "I guess since I met your moms I should probably tell you about my dad. "He's Sombra, before you worry I'm nothing like him. So I'm used to people assuming the worse about me. I just don't want that fact to scare you away, but I understand if it does."

Sparkling's POV

I can't believe he was telling that to me.
"You know Shadow,actually in that question me and you aren't that different...As I said my mom didn't have me willingly and well my father happens to be Forced Entry,and as you probably heard one of my moms almost destroyed the school with my aunts,plus Sunset Shimmer is also married into my family so yeah you won't have to worry about him scaring me...Tho I'm worried I might've scared you away by being related to Forced Entry."

Pink arrives with our orders a chocolate milkshake and an brownie for me and apple pie and an soda for Shadow.

I giggled when I realize how much chocolate I'm consuming."Moms hate it but everytime I come here I make the exact same order.What can I say I just really like chocolate.Thinking well if I went to any restaurant I would make the same order,if it's sweet it's this if it's salty probably an cheese croissant with orange juice.It's a really silly habit of mine honestly but for some reason it brings me a sense of I don't know control even when I don't have everything under control."

Shadow's POV

"I've heard about Forced Entry, he's one of the few people that might actually be worse then my dad. But I believe that we're not responsible for what out parents did so there's no reason to blame us for it."

Pinkie came back with our orders.

"There's nothing wrong with eating a lot of chocolate just as long as you eat other things to balance it out. And I understand wanting control even if it's just something small like eating the same thing. We're both so used to having everything controlled by other people, we need it."The more I talk to her the more and more we're alike. How have we not met before now? Could this really work out for the two of us? I hope it does but I'm also worried something might happen to break us up.

Almost as if on cue the boor opened and two people about mine and Sparkling's age maybe a little older walked in. One of them had the same bright pink and crazy hair and bright smile as Pinkie Pie the other had long blonde hair but looked mad at the world except when she looked at the guy she was with and she would smile that lit up the whole room. Her eyes swept across the room till they landed on me and Sparkling and she walked over to us.

"What are you doing here?" She started to as but Pinkie came over.

"Becca leave Sparkling to her date." Pinkie started to guide her away from the table.

She shook off Pinkies grasp. "What do you mean date?"

Sparkling's POV

"She means I'm dating Becca."

"No way aunt Ari would let you date yet."

"But she did."

"Becca."Mario started putting his hand in Becca's shoulder."Let's leave your cousin alone."

Becca looked at him and smiled,not the one she had learned how to do but a genuine smile.

"Fine we have more interesting things to do while we wait for my mom to call anyway."She says and winks at him,I wonder if that didn't hurt with the gigantic scar she had on her eye.

They then leave.

"Sorry about that."I tell Shadow."My cousin and her twin...are just like this all the time."

Shadow's POV

"It's alright. I'm getting most of your family isn't expecting you to be dating yet."

"Sorry about that you two." Pinkie said."And I know she acts scary but she's really not that bad once you get you know her."

"I'll take your word for it."

Me and Sparkling finish eating and talk. I didn't realize how much time had gone by but the sun was starting to go down. Me and Sparkling decided to go to the lake and watch the sunset. We found a nice spot under a tree close to the water's edge. Everything seemed right it almost felt like a dream. I can't believe how much has changed in just a day. Right as the sun was going down I leaned over and kissed Sparkling.

Sparkling's POV

I kissed him back and hold my arms around his neck.

When we stop kissing,I keep holding him as I say:

"I have to present you to the rest of the family...At least if we don't want a repeat of what's happened with Becca.So umm why don't tomorrow how it's saturday you come to my house and go to the family meeting with me,moms,Tree and Paper?"
Shadow's POV

"You're right. if we're going to date I should meet your family. But with how your mom acted about us dating do you think it would be a good idea to go? I don't want to cause any problems."

Sparkling's POV

"Mom Dash probably got her to stop acting like that by now,and my family is different than my mom most of them will be happy for me.And you better brace yourself for a very tight hug,maybe some threats that will never happen,and just over all chaos...Oh and if you see Sunset's son yelling at me...Umm just don't mind him."I see it's getting dark,damn it I wasn't ready for this to end yet.Wait I know."Can you walk me home?"

Shadow's POV

"Sounds like you have an interesting family. I can't wait to meet them. I don't who this guy who might be yelling at you is but I'm not going to let it happen." I wrapped my arms around Sparkling and held her close. "I love you and now that we're together I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Then we notice it was getting dark and Sparkljng asked me to walk her home. "Of course." I told her and the two of us walked to her house. When we got there things seemed to be quiet but a light was left on for Sparkling.

Sparkling's POV

I gave Shadow another kiss.

Soon I would have to take my meds and sleep so I wouldn't invite him in.

"See you tomorrow?"
Shadow's POV

"Yeah I'll be here in the morning."
