Me: Rewriting my chapters and making them better. In this version, Flash is four years older than Twilight and school is different for ponies than humans. Basically, if you have big magically talent, you can do what Twilight does. If not your stuck in school till the end of your high school years. If that makes sense. :-)
I do not own my little pony.

Chapter One: My Cutie Mark
*Flash's POV*
Hi, my name is Sentry, Flash Sentry, and this is my story. My mother is a beautiful orange pegasus with light pink mane and tail with white highlights named Ivory Sentry. She is a guard pony for Princess Celestia's army. My father is a whole different kind of pony. He is more tannish in color with bright blue mane and tail named Flashlight. How he got mom to marry him, I don't know. Maybe it was because she liked his show. He is a circus pegasus and his show is the cannonball pony, it is quite spectacular. I also have an orange pegasus sister named Scootaloo. She has pink mane and tail. That's all my family and we are one of the best group of fliers in Ponyville. My sister can't fly good yet, but I know she will. How do I know, because when I was growing up I wasn't the best flier ether. We used to live in Canterlot and it wasn't easy for me growing up.
*10 year ago in Canterlot*
My parents took me to the Summer Sun Celebration, this year it was being celebrated in Canterlot. Mom was on leave from the royal guards because she fought a Timberwolf that was trying to eat some of the colts. She won, but damaged her left wing while doing it. I was on my dad's back, we were in the middle of the crowd and my little sister Scootaloo was walking close to mom. I was so excited! I was going to not only see Princess Celestia, but see her lift the sun into the sky! Just as said Princess got onto the stage to give a short speech, my eyes drifted to the most beautiful purple filly I have every seen. She was staring at the Princess with such adoration in her eyes. Truthfully, at the time, I thought she was only pretty because I hadn't gotten passed the point where I thought fillies had cooties. As the sun rose, which I took no notice to at all, I could see the amazement and wonder in her eyes.
Suddenly, a ray of light from the rising sun shone in my eyes and I turned to see what cause it when I saw the royal guard. The light from the sun was shining off their armor making them look like warrior gods. From that moment on, I knew what I was going to be when I grew up. A royal guard pony! I knew I wasn't a strong flier… and that was putting it mildly. I haven't even been able to lift my body off the ground, but I was going to become a royal guard pony. When I went back to school and had P.E., all I did was train to become faster and stronger. I did wing exercises everyday and ran laps around my school football field. I even lifted weights with both my hoofs and my wings, but that didn't stop the teasing and bullying I went through. You see, I was ten years old colt in fourth grade and I still didn't have my cutie mark. Thankfully, my parents never tried to sent my to one of those flying summer camps.
I got beat up a lot, but I also made me a forever friend. My good friend's name is Blazing Spur and he is like me, a pegasus. He actually was one of the first colts to get his cutie mark. It was a black shield behind two red spears with a yellow star on top. He is a hunter. He told me that he got his cutie mark when a thief broke into their home and stole some of there valuable items. He followed the thief's hoof prints and then when those ran out. He followed the small clues around him like a broken branch or disturbed plant life. When he finally found the thief, he trapped him in a net made of vines. He hogged tied him and brought him to the police along with all the stolen goods and that is how he got his cutie mark. He's like me, though, he wants to be part of the royal guard. He's a brown skinned, red maned with red tail, and he had a tan diamond on his forehead. He, again like me, gets bullied because he is different. He's wings are wilder and slightly smaller.
*Six months later*
I was walking home from track practice, which I rock at, when I see a few huge and buff pegasus' pushing around a smaller pegasus. I took a slightly closer look at the smaller pegasus and recognized him. It was Blazing! The other pegasus' were pushing him into the alley. I hid behind the building that connects to the alley. 'That's Blazing Spur!' I thought. From the look of it, they broke his left wing and his right hind leg. 'I need to save him!' I thought. I slowly crept up behind the three pegasus' while they were forming a circle around Blazing. It looked like they were about to kick him. So I jumped on top of the middle one and did a split and kicked both of the other pegasus' in the head, stunning them temporarily. That split really hurt, but I'm happy that I worked out enough to make myself flexible. Then I leaped over the one I was on, then double hoofed him in the face.
So while they were all stunned and slightly bleeding, I grabbed Blazing Spur and threw him on my back, then I took off. I ran my hooves off and all that track practice was really paying off. Unfortunately, after a couple seconds, the three Pegasus' bullies followed. Again unfortunately, they ran me straight to a cliff and the only thing by the cliff was a huge oak tree. They knew I was a weak flyer and couldn't fly both of us away. We were trapped, so I put Blazing Spur behind me at the base of the tree. "R-R-Run f-for it!" Blazing Spur coughed out. I shook my head and said, "No! You're my friend! I will protect you!" I just didn't know how I was going to protect him.
I looked at the bullies and they had caught up to us. They formed a half circle around us, there was no way we were going to run away with the cliff to our backs. 'If I can gather enough speed, I can open my wings at the right time and force the left and right one to the ground. The middle one, I'll have to force him to the ground using my own body. This is going to hurt. Hopefully, someone will come by.' I thought and hoped. They stopped about four feet from us and I face them. I stomped my left front leg into the ground in a charging motion. "Are you really going to try and fight us?! What a laugh! You might of caught us off guard earlier, but you can't do any real damage!" Laughed the middle one along with his buddies. I snorted and reared my head at them.
I charged, but the distance was to short! I couldn't build up enough speed to successfully save us! Not only was I going to get beat, but Blazing as well! BOOM! A rainbow of light blew passed me along with a really strong gust of wind! I closed my eyes! The wind powered my wings and I could feel myself going faster than I ever went! I could feel their weight against me, but I continued to push through! Suddenly, the weight was gone. Along with the weight being gone, the ground was also gone. I opened my eyes to see that I was flying in the air with almost perfect grace. I looked down and the three bullies were knocked out. I flew down and pick up Blazing Spur. I flew him as fast as possible to the pony hospital.
Blazing Spur was quiet through the whole ride until after he got in the hospital and got help. A couple of hours later, I was let into Blazing's room. "Hey, Flash! Thanks. You saved me back there! You flew!" Said a shocked and excited Blazing. I didn't know what to say. Blazing Spur looked down and gasped. "Flash! You got your cutie mark!" I looked down to what used to be my blank plank to see a blue shield with a yellow lighting bolt on top. "I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!" I basically pranced around his room shouting this until Blazing's parents arrived along with Princess Celestia. Behind the princess was a purple unicorn, the same one I saw at the Summer Sun Celebration.
"What happened here?" Asked the princess. I bowed before saying, "It's a long story." The princess sat down in one of the chairs along with the purple unicorn. "Tell me and Twilight take note." Said the princess. Twilight nodded. 'So that's her name.' I thought dreamily. So I relayed the story with Blazing's help. It seemed the bullies were once again making fun of Blazing's wings, but this time wanted to "try" to "correct" the "problem". Princess Celestia listened as Twilight wrote everything we were saying down. "I will deal with those bullies at once! Bullying and violence is NOT ALLOWED!" The clearly outraged Princess said. So the princess left and following her was Twilight. I waved, but she had her head down, focusing on her task.
