Flash's POV
I woke up and stretched my wings. It had been a few days since Twilight's birthday. I yawned as I walked to the library. I was stopped by Twilight who had a saddleback on. "Flash, I need to go to Fillydelphia for a royal conference." Twilight said as she waved her hoof around. "Okay..." I said. I wanted to know if I would come, I am her personal guardspony after all.
"You won't be going this time Flash. I need you to stay in Ponyville and handle anything that I would normally handle, okay?" Twilight said as she smiled at me. "Alright, so I guess I'll see you later." I said as I smiled at her. "Yeah, see you soon Flash." Twilight said as she gave me a hug.
I guess today I am the 'Prime Minister of Ponyville' I laughed to myself. This would be easy, no pony in Ponyville ever has problems. I walked outside of the castle and decided to do some exploring.
"Mister Sentry!" I heard someone say, it was Mayor Mare. "What is it?" I asked. "There are a couple of ponies who are getting very mad at each other. Can you go solve this?" She said. "Of course!" I said quickly. I have broken up fights before, this will be easy.
As I walled in the direction the Mayor pointed, two ponies ran up to me. It was Lyra and Bon Bon. "Excuse me but do you know how to erase a magical portal?" Bon Bon asked. "I can't say that I do." I said to her. In the background I could hear two ponies arguing. "You said it was 10 bits, and you make me come all the way out here, and it's 20!" One of them yelled. "It was an honest mistake." The other said. "You pull this all the time! How can you mix up a one and a two?!" The first one yelled. I immediately walled between them. "Who you guys isn't this a bit to harsh? I mean, you guys are friends right?" I asked. "Yeah." Both of them said. "Well, a simple mistake is no reason to breakup a friendship now is it?" I added. "No, thank you mister." One of them said.
I walked down the street as two ponies neared me. "Uh yes, can you direct us to the castle?" One said as I pointed in the direction of the castle. Then out of no where about ten ponies approached me. "Does this color suit me?" "Hey aren't you the coltfriend of the princess?" "I had a meeting scheduled with somepony and they didn't show up!" The crowd roared. I could not even hear myself think as many more ponies crowed me. I hated being crowed and I crack under pressure.
I screamed and took off into the sky and flew to the castle as fast as I could. "Note to self, never get left alone with charge of Ponyville." I said to myself as I walked to my room. It was chaotic. Many of them didn't even want anything important. Okay, I just need to relax. I sat on the couch, feeling the soft cushions against my back.
Twilight's POV
The royal conference was very boring and I was now walked in to the train. I hope Flash is okay, I left him with a big responsibility. I'm sure he could handle it. I'm actually kinda hungry. I looked at the clock, the train arrives in ten minutes, so I couldn't go to a restaurant or anything. I went to a nearby coffee shop. I looked around and saw that every table was taken, the only choice was to sit with someone. Or I could just sit on the floor, and I did that. I order a pastry and sit against the fence of the coffee shop. A stalion dressed in a trenchcoat sits nearby.
I sit quietly and eat me pastry as he slowly looks at me. I quickly eat my pastry and fast walk to the train station. I looked behind me and the stalion was gone. I was now sitting on the bench of the train station.
It was empty, I could hear my heartbeat pounding against my chest as I thought of that creepy stalion. I mean, he sat next to me and slowly turned and looked at me, it made me feel very uneasy. As I begin to calm down I feel a sharp pain in my neck as my vision gets blurry, and my magic becomes useless. The last thing I see is the face of that stalion before I drift off.
