>Twilight Sparkle was getting annoyed.
>That was putting it lightly, anyway.
>She was back in the Crystal Palace for a family visit.
>It was both good to actually get away for a few days, a mini-vacation if you will.
>Her friends came with her, because they were acting like the princess' own bodyguards.
>They were doing a terrible job, Twilight mused from her bed.
>Not exactly their fault, to be fair.
>Twilight thought she didn't need bodyguards, and had told them to go have fun instead.
>The mare had felt literal steam coming from her ears now.
>All because of one.
>Pesky.
>Stallion.
>This stallion from before she went through the mirror...Flash Sentry, as he reintroduced himself.
>Honestly, she hadn't remembered him.
>He had been following her around all day, asking if she needed help with even the smallest of tasks.
>"Oh, Princess, do you need help with that box of cereal?"
>"Do you need help down the stairs? How about up them?"
>Twilight had even flown to try and get away.
>Flash was right there, coaching her on how to beat her wings.
>...which had promptly made the mare self-conscious and screw up, plummeting to the ground before being caught by the very pegasus that caused this!
>Thinking about it now? Angry didn't describe it.
>He was currently 'standing guard' by her door.
>She hadn't told him to do that, despite what he tells every being that passes that door.
>It was late, judging by the number of lights that were going out all throughout the palace.
>Only Shining and Cadance's room was still lit, and only because they were still out and about the town.
>Her door clicked open, and a beam of light lit her face before quickly cutting off as the door shut.
>Twilight bolted upright.
"Flash?" She asked, eyes narrowed.
>Her horn lit up, and she moved aside a desk.
>Nothing.
>Shrugging her wings, a habit she had picked up from Dash, she turned to go back to fuming.
>Flash was there, at the side of her bed.
>She would have screamed, had his orange wing not clamped her mouth shut.
>"Now now, Princess. Wouldn't do to scream."
>Now Twilight was furious.
>"You've been denying my advances all day. Can't you see, we were meant for each other?"
>What?
>"I think of us together all day and night, ever since we met."
>He turned his head and closed his eyes.
>"You were moaning a name last night, I heard it. So...heh, magical..."
>The mare didn't quite recall that.
>Twilight's horn lit up, unnoticed by the pegasus currently in dreamland.
>The full fury of an Alicorn struck him, shoving him *through* the door and into the hallway.
>The door had been split when the frail pegasus hit it, and there were splinters in his face and neck.
>Flash stood again, bleeding freely.
>"We belong together~!"
>He lunged at her, when Twilight simply froze him in place.
>She brought him closer, and he became...erect, much to the mare's disgust.
"Let's make this very, VERY clear, Flash."
>She slammed him into the wall.
"You don't know me."
>Once more.
"You don't know what I do."
>Again.
"And you sure as Tartarus don't have a chance with me."
>With that, a devious smirk crossed Twilight's face.
>Holding Flash in that telekinetic grip, she pulled up a quill and paper.
"A self-solving problem."
>Seeing movement in Shining's room, she scribbled 'This Guard tried to rape me - Twily"
>She then lifted Flash's helmet, stuck the note under it, and teleported HIM into their room.
>Twilight heard the uproar all the way in her room, chuckling to herself as she finally went to bed peacefully.
