She wanted me to get over Twilight. But how could I? Twilight had been more than just a crush; I don’t know what made me do it, but I considered her as the love of my life now. “So…you want me to get over her?” “Kinda, yeah.” My heart been shattered at that. But I didn’t show it. I wasn’t going to be vulnerable in front of my ex of all people. I later asked Sunset if she wanted to start over. But I meant it only as friends. I wouldn’t ever be in a relationship with her after she’d used me like so. And besides, the only girl I wanted to be in a relationship with was Twilight. No one else. But she was a princess. I was a common boy. She lived in another world- had duties. I was standing near a lake. Watching the moonlight hit its surface, giving it a crystalline glow. I sniffed. I wasn't going to ever find beauty in nature again if I couldn't see Twilight again. Then, I remembered the Battle of the Bands. How I yelled at her. Told her she was clueless and was useless to her friends. In the end, it was me who was useless. I made her cry. I definitely deserved this. I had failed to be the friend she needed when she needed me most. And then, when I went to hug her, I didn't even apologise. I just congratulated her. And hugged her. No apologies. I was going to apologise but Trixie intervened. I might've ended up kissing her, too. I burst into Vice Principal Luna's office. Gosh, Sunset Shimmer was so obnoxious. Framing Twilight for ruining the gym's decoration? She'd messed with the wrong person. She'd stooped too low. I was carrying some pictures I'd just found one of the trash cans. Evidence to the fact that Twilight was completely innocent. That she hadn't done anything wrong. I mean, how could she?? Those innocent, beautiful eyes... "Vice Principal Luna," I began ," I found these in the trash can in the library. Thought you should see them. Someone obviously combined these photos to make it look like Twilight was the one who trashed the gym!" I walked up to her and handed her the pictures. She put them together and examined them for a while. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Flash." "In light of this...new evidence, you may, of course, continue your bid as princess of the fall formal." She ran up to me and gave me a really tight hug. My breath caught in my throat and my eyes widened. I wasn't prepared for this. Not that I would complain , though. It felt nice; it left this fuzzy feeling inside of my chest. That's when regret started to build up inside me. Regret for not telling her how I truly felt before she left for Equestria. Regret for letting her slip through my fingers without a fight. If only I knew it was her last visit when I hugged her that day. I'd never let go. I'd tell her that I loved her. That I didn't want her to go. That I couldn't live without her. That I wanted to wake up everyday having her tiny frame pressed up against me. All those things I definitely wanted now and was too flustered to say. I sighed. Different emotions were coursing through me. Among them , anger ( at myself for not telling her that I loved her ), regret and melancholy. Her departure had left a void in my heart. It wouldn't be filled until she came back. I knew I wouldn't love anyone like I loved her. She was definitely otherworldly; definitely a princess. Her ability to captivate my heart so, her desirable self ( the way she looked ), her heart and her sweet voice depicted that she was a princess. I truly loved her. And, I had now realised, she was the only one I truly loved. Ever. I hadn't loved Sunset with my heart. I broke up with her easily. But it was really hard for me to even think of the fact I'd never gaze into those sparkling violet eyes again. I sat down near the lake, my face in my knees. I let it all out. I began to sob. "P-please c-come back. I-I need you. I-ill never hurt y-you again...P-please just come ...back" My chest heaved as I sobbed uncontrollably. Now would really be the time for her to make a magical appearance... "I-I can't...G-get o-over her..." "I...j-just c-cant." I wiped my tears. But they spilt out again. Twilight and I had danced like two maniacs already. Everyone looked at us like we had lost our minds, but we didn't care. We had other things to focus on. Each other. I had only danced like her 'cause...well, there were three reasons. First of all, I didn't want her to feel left out. Secondly, I thought dancing like her would impress her; make me better in her eyes. Lastly, she , well, like always, looked cute. But then DJ-PON3 changed the music. It was a slow song. A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I helped her up. Her cheeks heated up. Now was the time. We would have her first...and perhaps, last, dance. I extended my hand towards her, "May I have the honour of a dance with such a beautiful princess?" As the slow song filled the air, Twilight's eyes widened in surprise at my invitation. I held my breath, waiting for her response, hoping against hope that she would say yes. And when she did, a rush of relief and joy washed over me. Taking her hand, I led her onto the dance floor, feeling a surge of nervous excitement coursing through me. It was like a dream come true, dancing with the girl I admired. The world around us seemed to fade away as we moved together, lost in the music and the magic of the moment. Twilight fit perfectly in my arms, her warmth seeping into every fiber of my being. I couldn't help but marvel at how right it felt, holding her close like this. It was as if we were meant to be together, even if just for this fleeting moment in time. She almost tripped several times. But I was there to catch her. As the end of the song neared, so did our faces. We were going to kiss. It would happen. We'd only known each other for barely 3 days. And we were going to kiss. But, alas, fate had other plans. Her friends beckoned her to follow them since she had to return home. Her cheeks were still flushed from the close contact. So were mine. "I...gotta go now, Flash," she said quietly. "Will...I see you again?" I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I...don't know," she said. Her eyes watered slightly as she sped off towards the exit of the gym. But I caught her by her arm. "Huh?" she was a bit startled. "Until next time, princess," I said, leaning in to kiss her. I was going for a kiss on the lips but I thought it would make her uncomfortable. So I kissed her cheek. She gave me the prettiest smile ever, her cheeks blazing. She nodded and went off. I sighed as I stared after her, "I have a feeling you're definitely coming back. And that my heart wants it." I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. So I wouldn't cry again for the time-being. I got up, ready to head back home. And that's when someone fell over me. "Urgh," I groaned in pain. Looking up, I saw a pair of eyes as purple as a field of lavender in full bloom, so mesmerizing they could outshine the stars. They weren't covered by glasses. The person's hair was let loose, pink and purple locks falling over some parts of my face. "TWILIGHT? I- I LOVE YOU!" I burst out.
