Business As Usual?
Flash Sentry woke up about two hours before dawn. He used some of his time to think over his feelings for the Princess. How am I supposed to tell her? he wondered as he sat up and stretched. 'Hey Princess! I'm in love with you!' he sighed, That's too straight forward. He knew that he had to be smoother than that to win her heart. I have an idea.....I think...... he thought as he fixed his mane and donned his armor. He exited the room and trotted down the hall until he spotted a batpony trotting to the Wing. "Hello, Firefly." he greeted with a yawn.
"Hey, Flash." Firefly acknowledged with a smile, "What are you doing up so early? Your patrols don't start for another two hours."
"I know." Flash nodded as he looked out the window, "But Princess Twilight has summoned me."
"Ah." Firefly nodded, "See you then." With that, they continued with what they were originally doing. Flash stopped at a door at the top of a staircase behind the Throne Room. He inhaled but as he raised his hoof to knock, the door was opened by Twilight's magic as she sat at a desk at the opposite side of the room. "Glad you came, Flash." she greeted, not looking away from the parchments she was reading and signing.
"Hey to you, too." Flash smirked as he took his helmet off and closed the door. Twilight still had her purple eyes focused on the parchment, her eyes heavy with tiredness. Flash blushed and tried to gain as much confidence before doing his next action and approached the tired princess. Here goes nothing....... Twilight jumped as she felt two hooves pleasantly caress her shoulders. They stat in silence as Flash continued to massage Twilight's overly tense body. "I-Is this better, Twilight?" Flash hesitantly asked, blushing.
"Y-Yeah....." Twilight answered back with a blush. What is this sudden affection now?
"You really need to stop worrying." Flash informed, still donning his blush, "Makes you more tense."
"I-I'll try." Twilight noted as her blush intensified. He's really good though..... Then Flash had an idea. He moved down her back to between her wings and pressed lightly. In split-second, Flash's muzzle met one of Twilight's wing as it slapped him with a force that sent him back. "OHMIGOSH!!!" Twilight turned to face Flash who stood and wiped a little blood coming from his nose.
"Yeah......" he grunted, "That was unexpected....."
"Yeah." Twilight agreed as her wings folded, "What happened anyway?"
"I pressed between your wings because I read that it's a common spot to massage a stressed alicorn or pegasus." he answered, "I forgot to remember to watch for any 'wingboners' that might occur."
"Wing........boners.......?" Twilight flushed a bright shade of crimson at that word.
Then there was the sound of a kettle whistle. "Oh! Would you look at that. Water's done." she sheepishly smiled and chuckled before she rushed to get the kettle. That was a little more than uncomfortable.........
Flash merely just followed her to her personal kitchen. She had finished pouring their tea as he sat at a table. She levitated some crackers as well as the tea to the table and sat down. They sat in an uncomfortable silence before Twilight decided to break the silence. "So," she began, "How's my sister-in-law?"
"You haven't heard?" Flash smiled as he sipped some tea. Mint? She knows my favorite tea?
"What?" she asked with some concern in her voice, "Is she alright? Is my brother okay? Did-" Flash put a hoof on her mouth.
"She and your brother are alright." he smiled, "I can't believe she hasn't told you yet."
"Told me what?" she asked as she sipped some tea.
"She's pregnant." Flash smiled as he sipped some of his tea. Twilight choked on the tea that was working its way down her throat. "She's WHAT!?!?!?!" she yelled as her cup slammed down.
"You heard me." Flash answered.
"How long????" she asked as she smiled.
"Three going on four months." he answered as he took another sip. Personal favorite Princess for the tea.
"Why haven't they told me???" she asked with a hint of anger, "She was pregnant before Princess Celestia's and Discord's wedding!!"
"Which is why they didn't show." he pointed out.
He was right. Even though they were on the list, they didn't show. "They planned on telling you after the wedding but with their own royal business and Cadence being pregnant, they never found the time." he informed as they finished their tea.
"I'll have to go visit my brother sometime and have a little chat." she stated as she put the cups in the sink, "Now. On with business." Flash saluted, grabbed his helmet, and went to his post.
No matter how long he tried, he couldn't get the lavender Princess out of his mind ever since that bump yesterday. What's going on with me? he thought as he looked around for any trouble or intruders at his post. He couldn't shake her. No matter how many times he tried. He then heard the sound of heavy hoofsteps behind him. "Spike." he greeted, not turning and trying to focus on his task.
"Hey, Flash." Spike greeted in return, "Twilight told me the news about Cadence and her brother."
"She did?" he asked.
"And she wishes to depart on the afternoon train." Spike added.
"What day?" he asked.
"Today." Spike informed as Flash sighed. "Let me guess," he started, "She wants me to make an escort."
"Just you." he concluded as he turned to go about his business again. Things are taking unexpected turns after that bump. he noted in his mind as he signaled a guard to take his post. This is what I get for falling in love with the Princess of Friendship, after all. he smiled as he went to escort the Princess to the train that will be leaving at the strike of noon.
Baby steps, Flash........baby steps......
5549981 Thank you!
5550088 It makes me wanna down vote it just because, but im not a troll
5550109 Thanks for not doing so!
5550134 You're welcome
I actually like flash sentry as a character, and this is the only twilight shipping pair that makes perfect sense, so I'm already enjoying this story
Three things.
One: YAY FLASHLIGHT
Two: the whole thing with Flash being haunted by thw thought of twilight is just entertaining.
And three: "Carry on my Wayward Son, the'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more." Awwwww ya buddy.
When is the next chapter coming Its really good and I just cant wait!
5550296 Glad you are!
5550825 Sweet!
5551994 I'll type it laster today. Sit tight!
5552105 alright! This better be GOOD! Please tell me you are posting it at least tomorrow no need to rush but I'm just to excited! There are a ton of bronies who think FlashLight is a bad idea but if you think about it, it could work!
5553482 Okay!
Why exactly would Flash know that was a weak spot for alicorns?
5557965 Alicorns have a pair of wings, no?
5558382
yeah, but why would he assume that it was a weak spot, and a common one on alicorns when that theory has never been tested.
5558392 Overheard Shining as he was messing with Cadence?
5558443
I guess that would work, but that is still only one of four alicorns, unless you're counting that he just found out it was the same for Twilight.
Also, when did Twilight acquire that weak spot? She didn't have wings before she was a princess, and I'm pretty sure she would've known about it before, considering that she's been to the spa at least a couple times when she was a unicorn. So did it suddenly appear when she became an alicorn, and she has never gotten a massage since then?
5558608 That's all in the surprise of her first massage as a princess
Wait, so Twilight broke Flash's nose, and... didn't apologize? There should probably be a little bit more following up on occurrences like that.
oo! I like how this is going!
Flash was just being a perv! NOT that she minds, she probably wants it, she had him come to her room. Alone. I'd think they'd bang by the end of the story if it weren't rated E.
5557965
He didn't he just know how to turn on a Pegasus.
