Chapter Two

*End Flashback*

"Flash can I tell you something?" Twilight asked.

"Anything Twi." Flash responded. Worry flooded his eyes. Does she not love me? Flash thought.

"Remember when we ate those cupcakes and I felt sick?" Twilight began. Flash nodded and remembered how miserable Twilight looked. It pained him to see his beloved in so much pain and anguish. "When I fell asleep on your back, I had a dream, or a vision, I don't know. At first there were foals crying, it got so loud I almost cried myself. But then all of a sudden it stopped. It was almost unnatural. I was scared, my what if someone had killed the crying foals? I walked forward and a big buff stallion appeared, his coat was a light grey and his mane was silver with gold specks, his cutie mark was a get this, baby binky with a happy face on it." Flash tensed at the description of the cutie mark, he had heard of him before; a rapist named Steel Force. Why would he appear in Twilight's dream? He asked himself.

"Oh, well… what do you think it means?" He asked her, although he knew the answer himself.

*Flashback*

"I'm sure going to miss you!" Cadence hugged her sister-in-law and her colt friend as they gathered their bags at the Crystal Empire Train Station.

"Well, it was fun while it lasted! I really enjoyed the Star Swirl convention!" Twilight exclaimed brightly.

"I'm glad you all had a good time, but I'm afraid we must part ways, I don't want my sister in-law and her colt friend sleeping in a train station all night!" Cadence hugged Twilight once more, and then went back to the castle.

"Bye, Cadence!" Twilight called out. Flash could hear the sound of the train whistling for the last time, signaling for the passengers to get on.

"Alright, let's go Twi, we don't wanna miss our train." He smiled sweetly, like he always did. He loved smiling around Twilight. Her presence made his heart flutter with joy every time he saw her, and he had to resist the urge to kiss her every time he saw the beautiful mare.

"Okay, okay." Twilight said with a smile. They boarded their train to Canterlot and took their seats next to each other. As the engine roared, the train sprang into motion. Out of nowhere, a scroll appeared with a pop before Flash and fell to the ground. Startled, the stallion gasped and leaned back in his seat. Twilight picked up the letter with her magic and levitated it over to Flash.

"What's that, Flash?" Twilight questioned. Flash opened the scroll.

"It's a letter from the palace guards," Flash said. he read it over in his head. It read:

Dear Flash,

We know that you are with the princess, Twilight. We have received notice of a suspicious stallion by the name of Steel Force that has entered Ponyville. It is believed that the stallion has a pink binky cutie mark with a smile on it. Make sure that the princess does not know about this letter, as we do not want to raise any trouble or concern. We believe the stallion is a rapist but we are not confirmed yet. Please keep your eye out. If you see anything about him or anything suspicious please contact us.

*End Flashback*

Flash thought to himself. The rapist in her dreams, what could it mean for her? A suspicion raised in the back of his head that he wished had never existed. Twilight was raped. She must be pregnant.

"Twilight, I think we should go to the hospital, this just isn't normal. I myself ate 3 of those cupcakes and I am perfectly fine. We have to go. We need to find out, we need answers, why are you like this?" Flash stated. He looked at Twilight with concerned eyes. He looked at her, she had bags under her eyes and she could barely get off the couch. Her cheeks were no longer a perfect pinkish-purple: they were a purple green.

"Flash i'm fine really, a bit of flu virus never keeps this uni-I mean alicorn down." Twilight declared while she attempted to sit up but to no avail.

"No Twi, we are going now." Flash stated. He picked Twilight up and gently eased her on to his back.

"No Flash, we don't need this." Twilight croaked.. Flash knew she was getting weaker, there was no doubt. She couldn't even pull herself off of Flash's back.

"Yes, you do. You're not well, and it's not because of those damn cupcakes." Flash stated.

"Fine,"Twilight agreed weakly. "But if so, can we go to Fluttershy to, save medical expenses?"

"Is she good with medicine and stuff like that?" Flash asked.

"The best pony I know." Twilight stated with confidence, although the inferior tone to her voice made the statement seem less strong. Flash knew Twilight avoided the hospital with all her might, because when she was a little filly…
