Twilight's mane was covering her teary eyes as she walked through ponyville. "Twilight! twilight!" She could hear three young fillies running towards her and shouting her name. She stopped and blew her mane out of her face. Spike stood next to her and pat her. She looked at him and he smiled. Even though she wasnt in a good mood, the smile of the dragon made the corners of her mouth curl upwards into a smile.
"What's up girls?" she asked as she looked up from the ground. The fillies were bouncing up and down in excitement but as soon as they noticed that Twilight was sad they stopped. "Whats wrong Twilight?" Applebloom asked looking into Twilight's eyes.
"Oh nothing... Just ... Nothing" Twilight lied ,even though she didnt want to. "You sure? It does sure seem like something..."Sweetiebelle said. "No... I mean..." Twilight said. She forced a smile on her face and looked at the little kids.
"Applejack is in the hospital!" Spike blurted out.
All the fillies gasped. "What! Why!?" Applebloom yelled. Twilight didn't answer. The filly didn't feel like waiting so she took off running. "Applebloom! Wait up!" Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo yelled together. They ran after her.
Twilight sighed. "Should we go too?" Spike asked Twilight, smiling at her. Twilight shook her head and took off in a slow walk. Spike sighed but ran after the mare.
Twilight walked and slowly went into a trot and from there into a gallop. Soon enaugh she was speeding through ponyville. She was about to reach the castle when-
BAM!
Twilight fell on her back and rubbed her teary eyes. "Oh, Im sorry Twilight!" the creature said, walking up to her. He bent down and pulled Twilight to her feet. It was Discord.
"Im sorry for slamming into you!" he said. Discord seemed nicer than ever and Twilight smiled at him. Suddenly she noticed a strand of light pink hair stuck to a spike on his tail.
"Whats that?" she asked, walking over to his tail. Discord turned arund and tried to get his tail away but Twilight forced his tail to stay still with her magic. She pulled the strand off and examined it. Discord blushed but after a minute of silance he quietly snapped his fingers and the hair disappeared.
"What are you looking at?" Discord asked as he looked at Twilight. Twilight looked at her empty hooves and looked at him, narrowing her eyes. "That was Fluttershy's huh?!" she yelled.
"No..." Discord answered, swallowing. "Eh, I've got my chaos to do... See you around!" And with that Discord disappeared. "Twilight!" Spike yelled, out of breath. He finally caught up with the alicorn. "You... Are... Too... Fast... For... Me!" he said.
"Sorry..." Twilight said. She lowered her head once more and walked into her castle and to her room. She layed down on her bed and closed her eyes. She frowned. "Today has been too horrible to handle... Im scared..."
She opened her eyes and saw an orange pony howering over her. "It might have just gotten better!" she said, a smile forming on her lips. She jumped up and hugged the pony tight.
"Flashy! Why are you here?" she asked as she sat down on her bed once more.
"Im here to cheer you up!" he smiled. Twilight blushed and then coughed slightly. "But why are you REALLY here?" she asked once more.
"Well, I am here to tell you that Princess Cadence expects you to come to the Crystal Empire and spend time with her! She sent me personally and she didnt give a reason other than a wink" Flash smiled and blushed. So did Twilight.
"So what do you want to do? How long are you staying?" she asked looking into the colts eyes. "Im only staying for a day but I think you know VERY WELL what I want to do!" He smiled at Twilight smugly. Twilight's eyes widened.
"Flash!" she yelled. "You know that Im not ready!" Twilight said, shaking her head. "Oh! I know... So how about... A kiss?" he asked the mare, smiling.
Twilight blushed and looked away but Flash held her jaw and made her look at him. He caressed her cheek and smiled. Twilight s miled too and stroked Flash's cheek.
"I dont know if I-" Twilight started but she was cut off by Flash's lips crashing into hers. She tried to resist but she was weakened by his touch. She fell into his hooves and he slowly placed her on the bed.
He kissed her lightly but didn't even attempt to get ontop of her. He just howered over by her side and theyr light kisses might have not lasted that long but they were filled with passion. Slowly Twilight regained her strenght and slowly pushed him away.
Twilight opened her eyes again and quietly said,"Im sorry..."
Flash smiled at Twilight and stroked her cheek. "It's quite alright!" he said, smiling. He kissed her cheek and she blushed lightly.
"So what do you wanna do now?" Twilight asked on a soft and comforting voice. Flash smiled and said, "Maybe go for a walk?" Twilight giggled. "You are the nicest colt-friend ever!" Flash blushed even more than before. His lips formed a smile and he gave Twilight one last light kiss.
They walked through the castle and out of it. They proceeded down the streets of ponyville and smiled at eachother. They didnt feel like talking so they just gazed into eachother's eyes and walked through the park.
Finally after a long walk they took a seat on a park bench. Kissing eachother lightly once more, they didnt wanna go too quick so they took it slow.
"Twilight! Why do you keep leaving me behind!" Spike yelled, running up to the couple."You got a letter!" he continued.
Twilight held the letter up to her face and read out loud,"Dear Twilight, I have heard of a fire in the everfree forest and I need to ask you to go check it out. Your fellow Princess Celestia!"
Twilight ran in place and took deep breaths. "Oh my!Oh my!Oh my!" she yelled. Flash put his hoof on her shoulder and smiled at her. She sat down and took a few more deep breaths.
"Well let's go then!" she said, lifting Spike onto her back. "We have no time to waste!" she shouted as she and Flash ran towards the everfree forest.
Cliffhanger!
