The Elites

My love

Emerald gladly accepted Lightning's offer and became the new captain of the elites, which gave Night less work and more time for his wife. The decision for captain of the regular royal guards, will be much harder than the elites. There are less ponies in the elites then the normal royal guards and there also many candidates. Because of Emerald's promotion, she wasn't able to meet Serene, and things were different between them since then.

"Who this mare?" thought Emerald as she walk towards her new office "When did he even meet her?!" Emerald arrived at her new office and saw that nothing has changed. The office is still exactly how Archmed had left it before his betrayal, his photos, items, posters and medals.

Captain Archmed of the elites

"You traitor" whispered Emerald as she removed his plate from the door "You deserved your death"

"Captain" Emerald turned her head around and saw Serene standing behind her

"Serene?" Emerald turned around completely and was surprise to see Serene saluting her "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to return my armour" said Serene as he motioned at his back, caring a large bag

"I see, so you have no intentions on returning" said Emerald as she sadly look away

"No, I won't be able to do much anyways" said Serene as he removed the bag from his back, and place it in front of her

"You were a great soldier" said Emerald as she opened the bag, Emerald just stared at the ninthly shined, helmet "And still are"

"Thank you" Serene just smiled at her "Oh! And congratulation on the promotion"

"Thank you" Emerald watch Serene leave, she wanted to shout out at him, says what was on her chest but she didn't. She knew this would be the last time she would see him and she missed her chance, again. Emerald entered the office and just sat down and stared at the wall, thinking of a way to see Serene once more. "He has to become captain" said Emerald as she differently knew that both captain from the elites and the royal guards, work with each other numerous times.

Emerald quickly went to see the royals

"Captain? Don't like you're new office?" ask Snow while he rolled up a scroll

"I do but that's not why I'm here!" said Emerald while she caught her breath

"Then what is it?" ask Snow

"You haven't pick a replacement for Nightwing, right?" ask Emerald

"No" Snow suspiciously waited for her answer

"I recommend Serene!" shouted Emerald

"Serene? Why him?" ask Snow

"He saved your lives from Cursed, he saved Queen Lightning's life, the kingdom and so many ponies!" explained Emerald

"Very true but I cannot make this decision" said Snow as he took another scroll

"Why not?!" ask Emerald

"Nightwing needs to approve this and I need to talk about this with my wife, she has the final word" said Snow as he glance at the empty throne

"Where is she?" ask Emerald

"Canterlot for a summit but don't worry, Emerald once she return, I'll tell her about Serene" said Snow

"Thank you" Emerald bowed at Snow and left

Has promised, Snow spoke with Lightning about the possibility of making Serene captain. Lightning and Snow called for Night, since decision was very important to make.

"Hum…..we wouldn't need to investigate him" said Lightning while she walk towards the throne, Lightning sat down on her throne

"He has saved us and the kingdom, and we saw his skills" said Snow

"But he's still young, younger then Night was" said Lightning

"It's true but became wiser" said Snow as he smiled at her "What do you think?"

"Night was your opinion on this?" ask Lightning as she stared at him

"Serene did became wiser, he is not like before when he started. He wouldn't be able to do much has a royal guard because of his injury, but has captain it would be different" Night walk around the throne room, thinking of the pros and cons.

"In situations like this, the royals have the final word but in this case it's you" said Lightning as she waited for Night's answer

The next day Serene was called to the castle, Serene was extremely worried that the royals would remove him.

"Serene we wanted to see you because we made our choice, the replacement for your father" said Lightning as she smiled at him

"You did" said Serene as he stared at his father, who stood near the thrones

"We want you to become the next captain of the guard" said Night as he proudly smiled at him

"Me! But I'm only twenty three" said Serene has he realized he would be the youngest, captain of the guard ever

"We know but we hope that you will accept" said Lightning

Serene glance at his father, Lightning and Snow. He knew what he wanted to do, his future will forever be change from a few simple words.

"Of course I will" said Serene as he bowed "Thank you"

"Don't thank us, thank Captain Emerald" said Snow

"Emerald?" Serene could have never guessed that Emerald was behind this

Emerald was walking around the castle since she needed a few paper work, until she saw Serene in the royal gardens, staring at the sunset. Emerald hesitated for a few moments, she wasn't sure if she was ready, no she had to tell him! She can't hid her feelings forever.

"I'm going to be promoted" said Serene while he stare at the sunset

"How did you know it was me?" ask Emerald as she sat next to him

"Lucky guess" Serene glance at Emerald and gave her a smirk

"We're going to work together more often" said Emerald as she sat next to him

"Indeed we are" said Serene

"Just say it!" thought Emerald, Emerald took a deep breath "Ser…!"

"You did it, you got me promoted" interrupted Serene

"I….I….yea, I did" said Emerald as she blush slightly

"Why?" ask Serene

"I…..I…..I wanted to keep working with you" said Emerald as she felt her face becoming redder

Serene didn't say anything and just stared at the sun

"I just remember something" said Serene as he broke the silence

"What is it?" ask Emerald

"We didn't get the chance to meet before" said Serene

"No" Emerald knew what he meant and what he was about to say

"I haven't told her yet" said Serene as he stared at her

"I see, you should" said Emerald as she stared back at him

"Fine idea" Serene approached Emerald slowly

"Wh…..what are you…..!" Emerald was suddenly kissed straight on the lips, she couldn't believe it. It was her, she was the one, that Serene loved.

"Now I just did" said Serene has he parted from her "Now the question is…..do you feel the same?"

"Of course I do, I wanted to tell you all this time" said Emerald as she hug him

"I love you, Emerald" said Serene as he kissed her on the neck

"And I love you more" said Emerald as she held him closer to her
