Chapter 35
"C'mon, Spike, please?" Twilight pleaded with her assistant.
"I don't have time to help you with your letter. I need to figure out how to get my sweet Rarity back!" The two were in Twilights house, Twilight in the doorway with saddlebags draped around her back, and Spike pacing around on the floor, trying to figure out how to rekindle the love (or lack thereof) with Rarity. Twilight put her hoof to her face, "Spike, ughh, I don't have time for this! Just please come with me?"
"No! I must rescue my sweetheart from the dastardly villain that stole her heart."
"Spike, that 'dastardly villain' is Fluttershy's twin brother."
"Fluttershy's a twin?"
"Spike, look, can we talk about this later? If you're not coming, fine, I'll take care of the letter."
"Ugh, fine I'll help you, but you'll have to help me figure out how to get Rarity back afterward."
"I'll try my best Spike, but…"
"What?"
"It can wait," Twilight used her magic to put Spike on her back, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah."
Twilight smiled. "Good." She used her magic to open the door and left for the Autobot's base.
Fluttershy's cottage…
"Starblast?" Fluttershy called out.
"Starblast?" The yellow pegasus made her way through the hall and saw the door to Starblast's room closed with the light on. After a few moments of thinking she knocked. "Come in."
Fluttershy obeyed and opened the door; she was surprised to see her brother standing in front of the mirror. What was surprising was that her brother was brushing his mane; it was surprising because he hated brushing his mane.
"Starblast?" The pegasus mare asked in half shock.
"Oh, hay Flutter, is something wrong?"
"No, I- you're brushing your mane?"
"Yeah, figured I needed to look my best for my date with Rarity, I can't believe she actually took me up on my offer, she's so, outta my league."
"She's not out of your league," Fluttershy soothed while putting her hoof around him, "I think the two of you will get along just fine."
"Maybe, course you're my big sis, you're supposed to say that."
"Maybe, but I know the two of you pretty well, I think you might hit off real well."
"You think so?"
Fluttershy nodded.
"Thanks Flutter, you're the best."
Fluttershy blushed at her little brother's compliment, she was about to walk out the door but Starblast quickly said, "Hay Flutter?"
Fluttershy turned to look at him.
"Love ya," Starblast told her with a half smile.
"I love you too," Fluttershy smiled before exiting the room.
Autobot's base…
"Freedom!" Electric Storm yelled at the top of her voice, exiting the brig. She ran out of there and rushed past a stabilizing servo-tapping Prowl, with a stern expression on his face. "Oh no! No not the brig again please, I just got out you can't send me there again!" Electric Storm begged, getting on all fours and crying.
"No, I'm not going to send you to the brig."
"Really? Oh thank you thank you thank you!"
"Just don't put whoopee cushions under everybody's seat when we're about to have a meeting."
"Understood sir!" The red femme saluted.
"Then why don't I believe you?"
"No clue!" Electric Storm chirped before going on her own merry way. Prowl vented and glanced over to his side. 'Hmm,' he thought, 'That's odd'. The Autobot SIC made his way towards a glowing green light. He looked in the wall and saw a green crystal stuck in the wall. Curious, he grabbed at the crystal when realization hit him that this was a Mini-con. He pulled his servo back as if the Mini-con crystal had bit him and stared.
It glowed for a second, before becoming a Mini-con. It looked at him and made a few computerized beeps and clicks, translation: "Hi! My name's Short-out! What's yours?"
"I am Prowl. It is a pleasure to meet you, Short-out."
"Same here!" The Mini-con beeped happily, "So are you my partner?"
"Yes, I believe I am."
"Yay! Ooh I've never had a partner before, I'm so excited! Ooh what's that?" He pointed at something then rushed over to it. Prowl shook his help, "Primus, I get stuck with the sparkling of Bluetsreak and Electric Storm."
"WATCH IT, BUB!" Electric Storm shouted as she passed.
