Chapter 1 – Bumping Over and Over Again

Twilight gave the final glance at her Canterlot High School friends and then jumped inside the portal with her 'dog Spike'.

They launched out and hit the Mane 5 instantly. When they were all happy about Twilight's return to Equestria, they walked along the hall when Twilight wasn't paying attention to the front and bumped on the new Crystal Empire Castle guard: Flash Sentry.

She looked up and saw a glowing face, staring at her. At once, her cheeks became hot tomato red. She didn't know what to say.

"We've got to stop bumping into each other like this." said Flash and walked away.

Twilight tried to hide herself out of embarassment.

"Who was that?" asked Twilight ominously.

"A new member of the castle guards, Flash Sentry I think." said Cadance. "Why, do you know him?"

Twilight glanced of embarassment and said: "No."

Applejack saw the whole thing and made her embarassment flush outside.

"Oooh, somepony's got a crush on da new ga'." said Applejack.

"What?" shouted Twilight. "No, I don't!"

"Oh, she does." said Rarity. "She absolutely doeees!"

"Don't be ridiculous." said Twilight. "I don't even know him, he just-"

"Totally reminds you of a guy you met in the other world who played guitar, was in a band, and helped prove you didn't destroy all the decorations for a big dance, so you could still run for princess of the big dance, and then asked you to dance at that dance?!" said Pinkie fastly. "Right?"

"How did you know that?" asked Twilight.

"Just a hunch!" said Pinkie.

Twilight just gave an absurd face and then grabbed Spike, looking up to the sky for her future.

NEXT DAY

"Twilight, Twilight, it's time to wake up." said a voice in front of Twilight's sleepy face, she slowly woke up and saw that it was Spike.

"Twilight, we're leaving today." said Spike. "You've gotta pack your things!"

"Alright, I'll do it." said Twilight. "Just give me a few more seconds..."

"Oh, and that big new guard guy was asking about where you were." said Spike.

"What?!" screamed Twilight as she jumped out of bed. "Flash Sentry was asking about me?!"

"Yeah, he was." said Spike.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my GOSH...!" screamed Twilight out of pure excitement after hearing that Flash Sentry had asked about where she was in night.

"Another guard guy told him that you were sleeping." said Spike.

"I've gotta go see him, you go to breakfast." said Twilight. "Okay, Spike?"

"Ooookay.." said Spike. "Gotcha!"

Spike went to breakfast with the Mane 5 while Twilight anxiously went up, looking for Flash Sentry around every corner in every hall there was in the Crystal Empire Castle but couldn't find him. She asked a guard in the corner of a hall to tell where he was, he told her what had really happened that night.

AT THE NIGHT

Twilight was sleeping in her room when somepony named Flash Sentry came out to look for her.

"Hello, Ghostwood." said Flash. "Do you have any idea where the new alicorn Princess Twilight could be?"

"She's slee—" Ghostwood was saying but was interrupted by an angry breath. They both turned behind to see who it was.

They saw Shining Armour, staring at their faces.

Ghostwood almost pooped his pants but Flash wasn't scared.

"You aren't touching a hoof to my sister." said Shining Armour when he grabbed Flash and brung him in front of his face, giving him a scary look.

"I ain't scared of you, captain." said Flash. He was instantly punched down a million times.

"Nopony hangs out with my sister." said Shining Armour.

BACK TO PRESENT DAY

"And that's what happened." said Ghostwood. "He almost killed Flash Sentry."

"I gotta have a word with him." said Twilight and went to his brother's room. He was still sleeping with Cadance.

"Shining Armour, get up." said Twilight. "I wanna talk privately."

"What is it, Twily?" asked Shining Armour.

"Not now, privately I said." said Twilight.

"Alright, alright." said Shining Armour. "I'll get up."

He followed Twilight into her room and Spike gave him an angry look.

"Why did you beat up Flash?" asked Twilight.

"Why what on earth would you think I did that?" asked Shining.

"I've heard something from Ghostwood about you, brutalizing Flash right in front of him." said Twilight.

"That stupid guard..." thought Shining.

"Okay, fine." he said. "You caught me. I beat him up, what are you going to do about it, huh?"

"Blast you into a million pieces." said Twilight.

"I'm experienced Twilight." said Shining. "Be careful what you wish for."

He left the room and Twilight tried to find Flash. She went back to Shining and Cadance's room. Cadance was still asleep, she saw a sleeping and imprisoned Flash in the corner of the room inside a cage.

"Flash..." she thought. "What has my brother done to you?"

She saw the keys on the table, unlocked the cage and dragged Flash out. When they got out, Shining punched Flash. He instantly woke up.

"What is going on?!" he screamed while shocked out of sleep.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO BE WITH TWILIGHT, DIDN'T I?" said Shining with a very angry expression. "Don't you ev—"

"Shining, stop!" shouted Twilight at his face. "I'm the one who wants to be together with him." she confessed.

"What?!" shouted Shining. "You want to be with him? I told you not to be with stallions when you were age 15!"

"You can't decide my decisions in life." said Twilight.

"I'm your brother, I can control your every aspect." said Shining.

"No you can't." said Twilight. "I'm not your slave. I have my freedom and rights too. You married Cadance, did I say a wor—"

"YOU INTERRUPTED ALL THE TIME!" screamed Shining.

"THAT WASN'T CADANCE, THAT WAS CHRYSALIS...!" shouted Twilight.

"I don't want you to be with stallions, especially not simple guards of mine that have those bouncy heads." said Shining. "All marrying will gain you is sadness when a stallion leaves you. You're still too young."

"I will ask our parents." said Twilight. "See how they feel about your judgement towards me. Flash is a handsome stallion, not a bouncy head that doesn't know about life. I'll talk to him whatever you try. You can't hurt my feelings because you want to."

Twilight left the room and ran with Flash. Shining Armour chased them from the back. Therefore, Twilight was a better runner and so was Flash. They both escaped her brother and could finally have a moment to talk.

"Would you seriously sacrifice yourself for me?" asked Flash.

"I'd do anything for you, handsome." said Twilight.

"I wanted to ask you out for a long time but I was always interrupted by your brother." said Flash.

"Really?" said Twilight. "I wanted to ask you on out as well."

"How about 7 P.M.?" asked Flash.

"Yeah, it sounds good." said Twilight while starting to blush a little, leaving with red cheeks in store.
