Today, Twilight was as anxious as ever to meet up with Flash for the second time, and she was told he had a whole day off. Inside, Twilight was sky high.
"You two lovebirds are adoooorable!" Rarity squealed with delight.
"Glad ya found someone, Twilight. Tomorrow I we'll be goin' back to Ponyville. Well, except for Rarity."
"She's gonna hang with mister Fancy Pants," RainbowDash added. "As for me, i'll be chillin' with Soarin'." She gave a cheeky smile.
"Well, Big Mac needs wants to meet up sometime soon," Fluttershy muttered.
"Wow, even you guys have your own dates!" Twilight implied. "When did all of this happen anyways?"
"Well, you know I've always been a HUGE Wonderbolts' fan! And, you know I've saved them a couple times so Soarin' wanted to hang." RainbowDash couldn't stop smiling.
"Fancy Pants is always positive with my styling and taste in fashion and finds me with a marvelous personality. So, he courted me a few days ago," Rarity said, lifting her hoof up and grinning.
"Mister Caramel started followin' me around town, like, the other day. So, I'll properly confront 'im."
"Honestly, I've never noticed them acting that different… but wait, what about Pinkie Pie?"
"Single and proud!" Pinkie Pie said with her normal high-pitched voice and a smile on her face.
There was a knock on Twilight's door. Spike ran to open it, expectedly finding Flash Sentry with his armor off. Twilight trotted up to greet him and they walked down the hall.
"Hey girls," Rarity whispered to the other four ponies, "we need to monitor Twilight and Flash. We're leaving tomorrow so this is our chance!" The other girls agreed and nodded their heads.
"Where do you want to go today, Twilight?"
"Anywhere."
"Hmm…" he put his hoof to his chin.
"Oh, how about we go to a place you haven't been to before! I mean, we have a whole day so we can take as long as we need."
"Sounds like a good idea, Twilight! But where exactly would that be?"
"I have no idea!"
The two of them laughed while they started walking in no direction in particular. They looked around for a location to explore. Twilight remembered the spiky crystal houses they saw on their first "date".
They came across a racetrack with a large group of ponies. Next to the track was a waterpark. Across from the waterpark was a buffet. "Hey Twilight, I think we have our afternoon planned out. "
The two of entered the track first. They joined the group of ponies and were put in separate groups to race against each other.
"Ready… Set…GO!"
Twilight and Flash were in side-by-side lanes. They advanced forward, but Twilight couldn't help but smiling. Her laughter got her carried away so she stumbled. The first hurdle was coming up, but Twilight was tripping. Flash looked back to see her, but he noticed she was about to fall over. He ran back to save her the scrapes, but she bumped her head on the hurdle.
"Twilight? Twilight?" Twilight's vision was beginning to clear up. Flash was looking down at her from the side along with the other racers. They were on the bleachers. "Twilight, you passed out after hitting the hurdle. I forgot to mention to be careful 'cause the hurdles are concrete…"
"Whaa..?" Twilight asked, barely conscious.
"Twilight, I don't think we'll be able to go to the waterpark. You can't risk anymore injuries."
"N-no, I'm fine. I just.. need… to.. sit.. up." She struggled to pull herself up, but her right leg gave in.
"I think you sprang your leg in the process, Twi. We need to get you back in the castle."
The surrounding ponies helped get Twilight on Flash's back. "Thanks, everypony. I'll be getting Princess Twilight to a doctor ASAP." He took off and flew in the direction of the castle.
"What did you do to her? Why does she have sooo many scratches? This is unacceptable, mister. She looks MISERABLE!" Rarity panicked, ranting in a whiny tone.
"She hit her head on a hurdle… dunno what was going through her head," Flash replied. He looked at Rarity, who was pacing around Twilight's bed.
"Rarity, I'm fine. It's just that…my right leg hurts. Doctor said I should stay in bed for a while," Twilight said, pointed her snout to her right side.
Applejack observed her hurt friend. She had a bandage wrapped around her head, scratches in different places on her body, and a cast on her right side. "I don't know, Twi. Looks more serious than that."
"You should stay away from her, mister! We don't want to risk our dear friend getting severely hurt… again!" Rarity stepped closer to the stallion and gave him the stare.
"What she means is, please be more careful around Twilight," Fluttershy quietly added.
"I mean what I say, Fluttershy. So anyways, mister, just stay away from Twilight!"
"Well, I can't. Princess Cadence assigned me to be her bodyguard."
Rarity gave him a pouty look. "Well, you be careful around her."
"You guys," Twilight whinnied. "It isn't his fault. It's mine. I was clumsy, and I ruined our… date." She raised her hooves and imitated the quotation marks at the word date. "And now, we won't be able to hang out outside of my room…"
"Don't worry, Twilight! We'll be here with ya!" RainbowDash exclaimed.
"Yeah!" The other girls agreed. Twilight smiled at them. Flash Sentry stepped up and said, "But y'all are leaving tomorrow, so I will be taking over. Take your time." He exited the room.
"Gee, I don't really trust him, Twilight," Applejack added when the door closed.
"What do you mean, Applejack?"
"What she's saying is that we don't trust him around you. Or where he'll bring you. I personally dislike him…" Rarity muttered.
"I told you guys! It isn't his fault. So stop not trusting him! He's sweet, generous, funny, someone else I'd hang out with."
"You only trust him 'cause you his girlfriend!" RainbowDash said, sneering.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
But what they didn't know was that Flash Sentry was right outside the door eavesdropping on their converstion.
