A Bad Day To Get Divorced

Since getting married, Flareon and Twilight have got along great, just as every perfect couple should be. They are always there for each other and do their best to help the other when they need it. They are as close as possible and their love for each other is limitless. You could say absolutely nothing could ruin such a perfect marriage. That is...until one, unfortunate day. It all began one afternoon in Ponyville when Flareon and Twilight were walking together through town when suddenly a female unicorn with a pencil and notepad appeared before them. "Um...hello, my name is Alice. It's a pleasure to meet you Flareon." It turns out Alice was actually a journalist from the Ponyville Chronicle, which is the most popular newspaper in Ponyville. Alice is also the most popular journalist from the Ponyville Chronicle, but not because she's a talented journalist, it's because she is shockingly hot. In a recent poll that was posted in the Ponyville Chronicle, Alice was listed as the most beautiful pony in Ponyville. No stallion could resist her charm and Flareon was no exception. Immediately Flareon started to blush at just the sight of Alice, and tried to hide it from Twilight, but he was unable to. "Flareon, would you mind if I interviewed you? I'm writing a new column called 'Flareon: The Life of the Chosen One' and I would love if I speak with you for a while." "Sure...I would be glad to," Flareon replied, but then he looked at Twilight's cold stare, "I mean...if that's ok you." Twilight's female senses were already sensing danger. She had a feeling that leaving Flareon alone with this girl was clearly a very bad idea, but Twilight didn't want to say no because then that would make her seem that she was jealous of Alice. So after some thought, Twilight decided it was ok. Soon after Alice decided to take Flareon out to lunch at a small diner where the interview would take place.

After some time, Twilight was beginning to have her doubts about letting Alice interview Flareon. What if something happened between them? What if they kissed? What if Flareon didn't lover her anymore? Would he leave her? What if Flareon wanted to marry Alice? Those thoughts kept circulating around in Twilight's mind until she finally gave in and decided to check up on them just to see if everything was alright. "I'm sure everything is fine...I'll just see how the interview is going and that's it. Nothing to worry about...nothing at all," Twilight muttered to herself as she headed for the diner where Flareon and Alice were at. Meanwhile, while eating their lunch, Alice decided to start the interview. She asked him questions such as how he felt being the chosen one and what his past life as a human was like. After she was done Alice said, "Thank you very much for this interview Flareon. I'm looking forward to putting this in next weeks' newspaper." Flareon finished his drink and replied, "It was no problem at all Alice, thank you for asking me to do this interview, it was fun." Suddenly Alice began to choke on a piece of food and immediately he came to her aid. "Hold on Alice...luckily I took some emergency first-aid classes back in high school." Flareon put his hooves around mid-section and began to preform the Heimlich Maneuver. After he safely removed the food from her throat, Flareon noticed Alice was unconscious, so he laid her on the ground and began to give Alice Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation. As if the situation wasn't already bad, it went from bad to worse when Twilight happened to appear at that exact moment to see Flareon appearing to be kissing Alice. Twilight's could almost feel her heart breaking in half as the thing she had most feared was happening in front of her. After seeing all she could handle, Twilight ran away with tears in her eyes.

Soon after, Alice began to wake up and looked at Flareon. "Thank you...very much for saving me. I'm sorry that I scared you because of my mistake. I should have been more careful." While helping Alice back up he said, "Don't worry about it. I'm just happy I could save you." After saying his goodbyes to Alice, Flareon decided to go to the bowling alley for a couple games. Later on after he was done, Flareon decided to head back home. When he reached Golden Oak Library, Flareon attempted to go inside, but noticed the door was locked. He then knocked on the door only to find Spike appearing from a window. "Hey Spike...why is the door locked?" Flareon asked. "I don't know why, but Twilight told me in these exact words, do not let that back-stabbing jerk back into this house," Spike replied. Immediately Flareon sensed that something was wrong, but when he asked Spike to let him inside, Spike told him what Twilight had said, and after closing the window, turned off the lights. Flareon then walked around the house to where their bedroom was and yelled, "Twilight...are you there, it's me!" At that moment their bedroom window opened and Twilight appeared. Her eye's looked as if she had cried for quite some time. "Hey Twilight...is something wrong. I tried to come inside, but Spike wouldn't let me." Twilight started angrily at him for a few seconds before she said, "Oh look who it is...did you have fun with your new girlfriend? I hope you two have a wonderful life together." Flareon was completely taken aback by her words and tried to get her to explain, but all Twilight did was throw a pillow down by him. She then quickly slammed the window shut and turned off the lights. After realizing that getting any more information from Twilight at the moment was pointless, Flareon picked his pillow and decided to find a place to sleep for the night.

After some thought, he decided to spend the night at Applejack's. When Flareon got there, he knocked on the door a couple times, and soon after Applejack appeared. "Flareon...it's midnight. Do you need anything?" Flareon then explained the situation with Twilight and Applejack decided it was ok if he spent the night here. As they were walking inside Flareon said, "I just don't get it...everything was going great today and then when I got home Twilight was mad at me. What went wrong? Applejack then asked Flareon about his entire day and when he finished the part when he saved Alice from choking, she realized where the problem was. "When you were saving Alice, Twilight happened to appear at the moment when you were giving her Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation and she mistook it as kissing. Twilight thinks you cheated on her." Flareon couldn't believe it his luck today. He saved a girl from chocking and that resulted in Twilight accusing him of cheating on her. "Well that's just great...now I have to try and find a way to get Twilight to listen to me. Trust me, there is nothing harder than trying to get a girl to listen to you after she finds out that you cheated on her." "Oh I'm sure everything will turn out ok Flareon. Just give Twilight some time," Applejack replied. She then got him a blanket and Flareon decided to sleep on a couch. Applejack then returned back upstairs and turned off the lights. After laying his head down on the pillow, Flareon went to sleep and finally ended a terrible day.

The next morning, Flareon hurried back home to see if Twilight was still mad at him, but he wasn't able to make it within 50ft of their house. When Flareon looked around, he noticed their house was shielded by a magical dome that Twilight had apparently set up. So Flareon waited for about 30 minutes before Twilight came outside. He then rushed over to her and said, "Hey Twilight...about what happened yesterday. You see...it was all a huge misunderstanding and what really happened was...um...Twilight?" Flareon was trying to talk to her, but Twilight was ignoring him and she didn't even want to make eye contact with him. "Excuse me, but do I know you?" Twilight replied, "I'm sorry, but I don't recognize you." Flareon tried to talk to her again, but all he received in return was Twilight preforming a spell that shielded her head in a magical bubble that completely blocked out noise. So Flareon once again was unable to tell Twilight the truth. While walking through Ponyville, deciding what to try next, Flareon happened to run into Pinkie Pie. Usually this was bad luck for him, but Flareon remembered that Pinkie Pie was the friendliest pony in Ponyville and she could always cheer anyone up, so he decided to ask her for help with his problem. "Hey Pinkie Pie, me and Twilight are having some problems with our relationship. Do you know a way I can cheer her up?" Pinkie Pie began to lead him to Sugarcube Corner and said, "I know just the thing!" After going inside, Pinkie Pie went into the back kitchen and returned with a cake that read 'I'm Sorry' and said, "Nothing cheers up a sad pony that a yummy cake!" Flareon was skeptical this would work, but the cake wasn't the only thing she had in mind. "You also need to sing a song for Twilight and then present this cake to her. Trust me...this never fails!" At first Flareon thought there was no way this was going to work, but considering the situation, he was ready to try absolutely anything to get Twilight to forgive him. So Flareon returned back to Golden Oak Library with the cake, and to his surprise, their house was no longer protected by the magic dome. So Flareon knocked on the door a couple times and was soon greeted by a still angry Twilight. He then decided it was now or never and began to sing, "Oh Twilight, why are you mad? Turn that frown upside down and smile, smile, smile! This is all a misunderstanding so please let me explain. I hope you will forgive me so here is this cake!" After he was done, Flareon presented the cake to Twilight. She looked down at the cake and then looked at him. Unfortunately, it didn't work because Twilight slammed the door shut which resulted in the cake flying into his face.

Later in the afternoon, Flareon decided to find Rainbow Dash and ask her for advice. "You seriously tried to give her a cake after singing?" Rainbow Dash said as she shook her head in disappointment, "You should have came to me sooner. Alright...here's what you should do. Make a big, personal message in the air. I can make them with clouds, but I think if you used your fire magic to write the message, it would be a lot more awesome. There's no way Twilight can say no to that." After saying goodbye to Rainbow Dash, Flareon flew around Ponyville looking for Twilight. When he finally found her, Flareon began to use his fire magic to write in the sky. After he was done, the words 'I love you Twilight' could be seen by everyone in Ponyville, including Twilight. Unfortunately, she wasn't swayed by his message and instead wrote on the ground 'Nice try'.

After two straight unsuccessful attempts, Flareon was starting to get worried. If things didn't improve soon, it might be possible him and Twilight would be getting divorced. Soon after, Flareon bumped into Spike and asked him for help with Twilight. "Cakes, singing, and messages in the sky? Oh Flareon...it's no wonder none of that worked, you're thinking too small. What you need is a boombox! Here's what you do...stand near her house, turn it on to a romantic song, and watch as the love fireworks go off. Trust me, this always works with Rarity...I mean...don't tell anyone about that," Spike said. Seeing as how it was now in the evening, Flareon was hoping this was going to work. After borrowing a boombox from Vinyl Scratch, Flareon headed back home. He then went to side of their house where their bedroom was. He then turned the boombox on, stood up while holding it over his head, and hoped for the best. It didn't take long before Twilight opened the window and looked down at Flareon. Suddenly, she began to smile at him, and Flareon's heart began to race as he finally got a positive reaction from her. Unfortunately for Flareon, Twilight's smile wasn't a positive one, it was the opposite. She then used her magic to lift the boombox high above Flareon's head, and as fast as his hopes fell, Twilight slammed the boombox down on his head, breaking it in half. After she closed the window, Flareon was almost of ideas until suddenly one popped into his head. If this idea didn't work, their relationship was as good as over. Flareon then walked closer to their bedroom window and said, "Twilight...I know you're there. Listen...I know you're mad at me and I understand that, but please...give me one more chance to explain what really happened yesterday. Met me in the park in one hour. If you don't want to come...I understand. Hope to see you soon." After he left, Twilight thought long and hard what she was going to do and 45 minutes later, Twilight decided to head for the park to give Flareon one more chance.

As Twilight was walking in the park looking for Flareon, she suddenly spots him with none other than Alice herself. Twilight then realizes that this was all just a ploy for Flareon to tell her that he was going to marry Alice. As Twilight begins to turn around and walk back home, Flareon and Alice begin to yell her name. As Flareon is trying to catch his breath he says, "Twilight...wait. I brought Alice here since I know you don't want to listen to me, so just please, listen to what she has to say." Alice then begins to speak up. "Hi Twilight. I heard from Flareon that you two have experienced problems in your relationship all because of me." Twilight begins to let out all her anger on Alice. "Oh you know about that? Well of course you do...seeing as how both of you aren't ashamed to be kissing out in public!" Alice was completely baffled by what Twilight had just said. "Kissing? Me and Flareon?" Twilight is suddenly shocked when Alice begins to laugh. "Oh Twilight...me and Flareon weren't kissing. You see...after I had started to choke on some food, Flareon was able to get it out, and after I had fainted, he was able to help me recover by providing me with air in my lungs." Twilight began to blush with embarrassment as the entire time she was mad at Flareon and Alice all because of a huge misunderstanding. "Twilight...I'm sorry for any trouble I have caused for you two. Can you please forgive me?" As Alice held out her right hoof, Twilight smiled as she began to shake it while saying, "No Alice...I should be the one apologizing. This whole time I was blinded my jealously of you. This is all my fault...I'm sorry." Soon after, Alice waves goodbye to Flareon and Twilight as she leaves to return home. Twilight then turns to Flareon and tries to apologize but he interrupts her. "Twilight...forget about it. I'm not angry at you because I understood why you were mad at me. As your husband, I should have done a better job at trying to get you to listen to me. I'm sorry." After they both shared an apology kiss, Flareon and Twilight took their time walking back home. Even though the recent event between them was a difficult one, it strengthened their bond and made it stronger than before.
