Twilight Sparkle stepped off the train with her five best friends. They began to walk towards the Crystal Empire when a voice spoke. "You girls need help?" Twilight looked behind her to see Flash Sentry. After her visit to the human world, the colt had grew on her, and she even thought of romance blooming in between the two. She found it, in the least, ridiculous that she could ever think of that. But why was her face heating up.
"Yes, I think we would like that." Rarity said, speaking for her friend. He nodded, and escorted them to the castle, Rarity caught up with Twilight. "So Twilight, what do you think of Flash?" She asked. Twilight's face heated up again.
"Rarity, I-I don't think he feels the same. I don't even know if he'll ever have time for me." Twilight said. She continued to walk to the castle, Rarity letting it sink in. Rarity, even though she was a hopeless romantic, knew Twilight and Flash belonged together. She was putting her hoof down, for her friends sake. She had to get them together. But how? She would have to get the girls together to knock some sense into both of them.
"Thank you again, Flash." Twilight said. "Especially for taking care of our luggage, you didn't have to do that." She said.
"But I wanted to. I'm here to help you, Twi." He said, and blushed. "Er…If I can call you that."
"It's alright, you can call me Twi or Twilight." She said, looking down after blushing. She moved her hoof around on the floor.
"Why don't you girls go get some rest? I'll come get you when dinner is ready." He said. Twilight nodded, and walked with her friends to their suite. They got their and Twilight was the first to drop on the king sized bed.
"This is absoulutely marvelous!" Rarity cooed.
"You got that Rare!" Dash said, zooming in and plopping down next to her purple fured friend. Twi felt the bed jump up, and groaned.
"A couple seconds, my eyes are only resting." She said. The girls snickered.
"Let's all go have a nap, shall we? It was a rather long train ride." Rarity said.
"Okay, I can do a nap, can you girls do a nap? I'm really tired, hey where is the rest of the beds? Oh wait this is a suite, so there are other rooms, silly billy!" Pinkie babbled on, running, more like hopping, to her room, that had balloons on it. The girls disappeared as Twilight fell into a small deep sleep.
"Twi? Twilight?" A distant voice said, a warm hoof pressed on her cheek and she felt herself smiling. "It's time for dinner." It said. She suddenly felt gentle warm breath on her neck, and that's what woke her up completely. Flash's face was inches from her own. "Oh, sorry." He said, and pulled back, the princess blushed hopelessly. Rarity came through yawning.
"That was such a refreshing nap. And such a gentle wake up. I knew if Pinkie or Rainbow Dash woke me up it wouldn't have been as gentle." She said. As if their names summoned them, the cotton candy pink haired mare and rainbow colored mare came through. Fluttershy and Applejack soon followed.
"Good evening girls." Fluttershy said, "Oh, and Flash Sentry."
"Evening to you to, Miss Fluttershy." He replied. "You can just call me Flash." He said, Fluttershy nodded. "Well are your Mane Six ready for dinner?" He said. They said yes and were escorted to the dining hall. Twilight saw Princess Cadence and quickly ran over to her, doing their usual greeting.
Sunshine, sunshine
Ladybugs awake!
Clap your hooves,
And do a little shake!
"Twilie!" Her brother said, hugging her. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna was also there. They all exchanged greetings and sat down to their meal. When dessert came out it was ice cream. They all finished, and Flash escorted Twilight back to the girls' suite. The girls stayed behind to catch up with the Princess' and Shining Armor.
"So you were friends with the Princess' before you became a princess yourself?" Flash asked.
"Yes Princess Celestia took me as her personal student. I helped Princess Luna on Nightmare Night to help ponies see she was a normal pony like everypony else." She explained.
"And Princess Cadence?" he asked curiously.
"My foalsitter." She said, they stopped outside her door. "Well this is my stop." She said.
"Yes it is." He said. She looked at the floor she didn't want this conversation to end. "Uh, Twi?" He asked, she looked up, and he was looking at the floor, blushing.
"Yes?"
"Would you like to…Uh…Nevermind." He said, about to walk away, but she gently grabbed his hoof.
"How about we go to the city tomorrow and find a place to eat?" She asked.
"Sure, I mean, yes. I would very much like that." He said. She smiled, and was about to go in when he planted a small kiss, a simple gesture on her cheek. "See you tomorrow, Princess Twilight." He said.
"See you tomorrow, Guard Flash Sentry." She whispered to the retreating colt.
"Ooooo!" Six voices said.
"Wait until Shinig Armor finds out!"
"Are you two dating now?"
"He better treat ya right, Twi, ya know I won't stand for it if he hurts ya."
"I knew this would happen! It's destiny!"
"Oh we should throw a party!"
"I'm so happy for you Twilight!" Princess Cadence said, hugging the young princess.
"Don't tell Shining Armor, I don't know Fluttershy, he will treat me right AJ, Rarity how did…Never mind, it's not a huge deal, Pinkie, and thanks Cadence." She said, returning her foalsitter's hug. "If you don't mind, I would like to go to sleep now." She said. The Mane Six went inside and went to their designated rooms. Twilight was lying in bed, looking at the ceiling. "Oh dear Celestia, I'm scared. My heart feels like it's going to explode when I'm near him. But, I don't know if what I'm feeling is real. Or if he feels the same. Part, okay, more than a part. Ninety-nine percent of me, feels like I'm in love." Twilight turned on her side. "I…I hope I am." She said, and fell asleep.
