Description

Twilight: knocks on Stella’s door Stella? Honey?
 
Silence
 
Twilight: sighs, rolling her eyes I can easily break these magical locks, Stel. Please, just let me in?
 
……..
 
the locks slowly dissipate, and the door unlocks itself
 
Twilight: looks to Flash, tilting her head towards the door
 
Flash: nods, silently stepping in
 
Stella: sniffling, her back to the door
 
Flash: ears lower as he walks closer, slowly resting beside her on the bed and draping a wing over her
 
Stella: opens her tear filled eyes, expecting purple feathers. She is instead greeted by orange ones ?! looks up with a start
 
Flash and Stella: share a silent moment, just looking at each other
 
Stella: looks away in shame, tears falling from her eyes
 
Flash: gently nuzzles his daughter
 
Stella: sniffs I-I’m sorry, Daddy…
 
Flash: feels a small wave of relief, seeing that she doesn’t hate him Shhhh…it’s okay, my little star..~
 
Stella: sniffs a bit more, pressing closer to him
 
Flash: pulls his head away, looking around her room as he picked his next words ….I’m confused too, Stella.
 
Stella: ? looks up at him
 
Flash: Tell me, though…. looks to her What is it that you fear?
 
Stella: …… ears lower as she looks down, her hooves shuffling on her pillow …..I’m….scared that…I’ll lose you. Th-That….they’ll replace me and mom….. voice cracks a bit as more tears fell I know it’s selfish….it’s so selfish! But….I-I don’t…I don’t want to lo-!
 
Flash: pulls her into a gentle, yet firm embrace
 
Stella: ! …..
 
Flash: pulls away slightly, looking into her eyes to show his sincerity I promise…I will never abandon you, or your mother. You both are important to me…nothing will change that. I promise.
 
Stella: …. feels relief wash over her, smiling for the first time today P-Pinkie Promise..?
 
Flash: smiles, doing the respective motions Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye~
 
Stella: I-I’ll keep you to this..~
 
Flash: smiles happily
 
Stella: wipes her eyes Though…you said you’re confused too….what’s wrong?
 
Flash: smile shifts to a serious frown Well…while she’s not related to me by normal means…I feel some responsibility to her. I wouldn’t ever feel right knowing that I denied her a chance at a father. She deserves that much, don’t you think?
 
Stella: thinks it over, trying to put herself in Flare’s place, slowly nodding I do. ears lower as she recalls her earlier outburst I feel like a total dolt…
 
Flash: It’s okay Stella..you were overwhelmed. It wasn’t right for us to throw that at you all at once. I’m sure if you just apologize and explain yourself, all will be settled on this matter.
 
Stella: Right…I-I will.
 
Flash: Good~
 
Stella: yawns slowly
 
Flash: chuckles, slowly rising off the bed and steps back onto the floor Get some sleep sweetie. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.
 
Stella: Okay… yawns, resting her head I love you, Daddy..
 
Flash: I love you too, Stelly~ slowly walks out of her room, quietly closing the door behind him
 
Twilight: looks to him, smiling proudly as she nuzzled him
 
Flash: returns both before they head off to their chamber for the night

Or it could simply mean that he’s got old. Seriously? Why do Goatee’s always gotta imply something’s not okay?

The Tastiest

Only half a goatee, anyway. I guess it’s supposed to signify a long passage of time, enough for Flash and Twi to fall in love, have a kid, and raise it to teenage years.
 
Then again, the half-goatee can just mean he’s gone Anti-Hero, or grumpy hero type.
