Flash Sentry laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling of his bedroom. He had been awake for a while, although he was not sure how long, but had not been willing to move. His bladder was becoming more and more insistent that he get up. However, the feeling of the warmth of Phoenix Dawn sleeping against him, her body pressed against his, made him stay where he was for as long as he could.

He asked himself the same thing he had asked repeatedly since he woke up. How on earth had this happened? After he had finished his own set, Flash and Phoenix had taken a seat near the back of That One Place. Each of them ordered "The Thing," and talked for a while.

Then somehow, in a "one thing led to another" way, the two of them made their way to his place, up to his bedroom, and into his bed... together... naked... together... pressed against each other... naked... together...

It had been one of the best nights of his life. Also one of the weirdest. He was sleeping with someone who looked and sounded a lot like an ex-girlfriend, and kind of acted similar to the way that same girlfriend started after they broke up and she had been blasted with a rainbow colored beam of magic after turning into a literal demon.

It felt like he was kind of sliding backwards. He had been with Sunset Shimmer longer than he should have, looking the other way as she became more and more corrupt and selfish before ending things between them. He had moved on, finding someone else that he liked. Admittedly, it did not work out since she was actually from another dimension where she was a magical pony princess and hero who saved their world numerous times, and had only come to this world in order to stop threats to it that had started because of things that happened in her home dimension, but it had been a step forward.

It also became more complicated when this world's version of the girl he liked had come to Crystal Prep, looking very similar, but acting very different, and having no idea who any of them were, or having any interest in him specifically, but that was beside the point.

Although, maybe not entirely. Sunset had eventually explained that she was from the other dimension as well, and had never met her earthly doppelganger, or knew anything about her.

Still, he had moved on, Then, during their time at Camp Everfree, he had tried to be friends with Sunset, and mainly got ignored. In truth, as much as he hated to admit it to even himself, a small part of him kind of hoped that maybe they could start patching things up. He knew it would never happen, and that it would be a bad idea, but he had hoped.

Now, here he was. In bed. Naked. With someone who was so much like Sunset Shimmer most people would not be able to tell the difference.

And at this point his bladder had declared would wait no longer. Flash Sentry either got up and relieved himself, or it would be forced to start relieving the pressure at its own volition. All over his sheets if necessary. Slowly so as not to wake her, he rolled Phoenix off him, then slipped his arm out from under her.

It was beyond numb. His arm did not have the tingle sensation like it was asleep, it had no sensation at all. He could not even move it, no matter how hard he tried. The muscles just would not respond. He could even grab his own wrist and wave his hand up and down without feeling a single thing.

Once he was thoroughly relieved and had regain enough feeling and control to move his fingers, Flash Sentry washed his hands, then splashed some cold water in his face. He then looked up at himself in the mirror.

What should he do? This had been great, but he could not possibly pursue this in any serious way. Not only would it be impossible to keep from comparing Phoenix and Sunset, but he would likely always think of her as such. Plus, the longer he was involved, the more likely it was that the two girls would wind up meeting each other. Sooner or later, he would have to explain to them what was going on, and telling someone the truth in this case was pretty much a guaranteed relationship ender since no one would believe it without seeing at least one of the things that happened around here with their own eyes. Even then, it could be a little iffy at times.

Flash let out a sigh. As nice as this had been, he could not continue it. Could not pursue it. It had been great, but it would have to remain a one time thing.

He would have to figure out how to tell Phoenix.

As soon as he opened the door, he found himself face to face with a naked Phoenix standing in the hall.

"Are you going to come out so I can use it?" she asked after he stood there for several seconds. "Or are you going to stand there and stare at my tits?"

Flash blinked and shook his head, looking away from her chest and into her eyes.

"No, no," he replied. "I mean yes. NO! I mean..."

He gave another shake of his head and stepped out, moving aside.

"It's all yours."

"Thanks," Phoenix said as she headed toward the bathroom. She then stopped and turned to him, her eyes narrowing as she looked him up and down. With a smirk, she stepped forward, placing her hand on his chest and stroking down.

"Maybe when I'm done," she purred out, "we could go back to your room and have a little more... fun." She emphasized the last word with a squeeze.

Releasing her grip, Phoenix Dawn turned and head into the bathroom, giving her hips extra sway as she did so. She then turned and gave him a wink before shutting the door.

...Maybe he could wait just a little longer before ending things...
