A Shimmer Of A Flashing Twilight

Twilight stood with her arms folded waiting outside the school. The breeze sent her hair soaring backwards, creating a parachute behind her.
“Hey.” His smooth voice was carried on the current of the wind towards her before she had even seen him taking steps to approach her.
She smiled and took a few steps forward herself.
“Are you ready?” He asked.
“Yes.” She smiled and Flash outstretched his hand which she gladly took.
They walked side by side, hand in hand heading towards Flash’s home.

Twilight skimmed her fingers over some of the books in one of the bookcases in Flash’s house.
“Would you like to hear me play?” Twilight spun around to face Flash who was holding his guitar, a soft smirk on his face.
“Sure!” She sat down opposite him to listen.
As he played his song, she bobbed her head, and tapped her foot to the beat, whilst humming the tune. She couldn’t prevent the feeling inside her heart as it fluttered against her ribcage.
After he had finished, Twilight’s mouth formed a smile. “That was amazing. You’re amazing.”
“Thank you.” He sat next to her, placing his guitar next to him, balancing it against the couch.
Twilight had her legs tucked under her for comfort as she lay back on the couch. Flash took hold of the television remote and turned on the television for sound in the background.
“Tell me more about your world.” Flash urged, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
“You’d be surprised about how similar it is.” Twilight shrugged.
“Except we’re ponies…” Flash pointed out.
“Except that.” Twilight nodded.
“Hey-um-Twi.” His words were unsure, and it made Twilight feel uneasy.
“Yeah?”
“Am I in your world?” He asked. “Another version of me I mean.”
Twilight nodded. “Yes. Yes you are.”
“Oh.” He looked down.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight tilted her head.
“Nothing.” He looked away. “Just that. I surely don’t compare to this other Flash Sentry.”
“Don’t say that!” Twilight scolded softly, turning to face him properly, taking his hand. “You’re incredible Flash…”
“And you’re amazing Twi.” He smiled weakly. “But one day you will return to your world, and I’ll be left behind.”
“That is true.” She sighed. “But let us just enjoy the here and now.”
Flash processed her words in his head, and knew he had to seize the days ahead of him, starting at that moment.
He leant in towards Twilight, and she closed her eyes.
The door creaked as someone entered the house. Twilight and Flash pulled away. “That’ll be my family.” Flash announced. “Come on, let’s get some fresh air. I think I’d prefer some privacy.”
“Me too.” Twilight added.
