Royal Romance

"Are you sure you will be fine to walk the distance?" Cadence questioned Flash. Flash held onto the wheelchair and nodded.

"I'll be fine, honey,” Flash responded, scuffling along. Cadence trailed next to him, not daring to leave his side. Nurse Redheart met them out the door, a small smile on her face.

“I’m so glad that you recovered so quickly, Flash. I’m really happy. And Cadence hasn’t left your side the whole time, despite being pregnant,” Redheart told the happy couple. Flash nodded and continued to walk out the building with Cadence trailing behind him. Nurse Redheart sighed and walked to her office. Another day gone were she felt even more lonely.

Shining Armor looked around the hall. No one about. Good. Flash and Cadence will be back soon so he had to finish the last phase of his plan. Shining walked down the hall to a hole in the wall and pushed in an arrow. Perfect.

“Shining!!” someone yelled. Shining Armor jumped up in surprise stood still back in position.

“Yes sir, sir,” he saluted. The pony rolled there eyes before turning there form back to a changeling. Shining sighed and shook his head.

“What are you doing here? I told you not to come yet,” he implied to the changeling. The creature leaned against the wall and spoke in a menacing voice, with a hissing sound after ever sentence.

“When will we get our revveeennggeeee?” he questioned, exaggerating much on the word “revenge”. Shining thought for a second. Both of them had revenge planned against Flash. Flash had taken Cadence away from him and Flash had destroyed the changeling home. Shining smirked.

“The time is ready. Now come, before someone notices what we are doing.”

“Seriously, Flash. What is wrong with you?” Cadence implored him for the billionth time. Flash continued to walk ignoring Cadence. Cadence arched an eyebrow and using her magic stopped Flash.

“Cadence, what are you doing?” he said turning to face her. His face was full of anger, but seeing Cadence’s face, her glowing skin and beautiful eyes, his expression soften towards her. She had been there always for him. He sighed.

“I just… want to get back to work to protecting you...” he started. Just before he finished his sentence, Shining Armor raced out the castle doors towards the pair.

“Flash! Cadence! I am so glad to see you both back home and well,” he started before embracing them both, very gently to say the least. As this whole exchange was happening, Cadence started at Shining. His eyes, were… different. And his magic was… green? She shook her head. Her mind was playing games.

Nurse Redheart woke up and looked around the room. This wasn’t her office. On one side was a huge pin board which took up the whole wall with photos spread across it. What does this all mean? One photo caught her attention the most though. It was her and… him. But who found it? Was she imagining this? Another one caught her attention. There he was in armor. He’s alive? Redheart shook her head and woke up her heart pounding. She sighed. It was just a dream. Or… was it?
