Twilight walked through the castle, to her brothers room. She knew he'd be there since well... he and Cadence weren't together anymore.
She could her her brothers gentle sobbing in his room.
She sighed gently and walked in. She looked around. It was a mess!
Pictures torn and thrown about in the room, smashed glass everywhere. And most importantly, a broken wedding ring.
Among all this mess was Shining, on his bed, his muzzle thrust into his duvet and his body shaking.
"Oh Shining..."
Her brother stopped crying when he heared her voice. he didn't want her to see him crying. Not ever.
"H-Hi, Twilight."
Twilight? Shining Amour never called her Twilight. it was always Twili. Something must have been very VERY wrong.
"Oh Shining. Whats the matter?" She asked, stopping by his bed and putting her muzzle gently on his shoudler, trying to sooth her older brother.
"I... I don't know what happened. One moment we were happy and in love... then she says I'm cheating! I would never cheat. I love her. I was sure our battle with Queen Chrysalis was enough to prove I do! Oh Twilight I dont know what to do!" He wailed, a sob excaping him.
Twilight was confused. How could her best friend and best mentor of all of Equestria. Why would she suddenly drop that right off the bat?
"I'm sure she's just having a mood swing..." twilight said, hopping that was just it.
"Twilight.. weve been arguing for a year! It isn't a mood swing. It's something more then that..." Shining said, his voice hoarse from crying so much.
twilight sighed in defet. She didn't know what to do. She felt helpless and she despretly wanted to help her brother.
"Twili... Stay with me tonight. I don't want to be alone... too many nights o arguing sleepless nights. I don't want tonight to be the same as all those other nights..." Shining began.
"Sssh. Thats fine i'll stay with you. While your sleeping I can tidy your room okay?" Twilight asked, using her magic to tighten the duevet around him.
The white unicorn nodded his head and son fell asleep.
Twilight sighed gently, glad her brother had gotten asleep.
She then began to clean the broken sards of glass and papers, putting them back together and putting them in their respective placess.
She then found a note. She picked it up and staretd to read:
"To My Dearest Shining Amour.
Last night was amazing. The way you thrust into me. The feeling of joining becoming one. It was an experience I'd never forget. We musn't tell Cadence though, she'd go crazy! we must keep this a secret. I remember your eyes when you told me you loved me... you wanted me insted of her. I know you love me with all of your heart. And I do too. I hope to see you soon.
Love, Summer Swirl. "
