Can't Be Too Happy

No One's P.O.V

The very next day, both Abohaty and Glitz took a train ride back to Springfields. Kelsey had gone to Twilight's and Written Script and Gabe went back to their own homes. The train ride was silent because it was so early in the morning when they left. Glitz understood completely since Abohaty would have to get back to her princess duties right away.

The moment they got off of the train, they walked over to the kingdom together. Abohaty could always just easily teleport themselves inside, but she enjoyed the small moments she spent with her friend. There weren't many moments she'd get like this, so it was best to cherish them now, especially with everything coming up at the moment. But now, she had to be serious with him. She already knew it was too late to tell him everything, but now was better than never.

"Hey, Glitz?" Glitz didn't directly look at her, but he did make a slight humming noise that indicated that he heard her. "Do you ever get nervous when going to battles?" Glitz chuckled a bit before responding precisely.

"Not exactly. But that's only because I've never been in a deadly war or anything. Just those small battles that come from time to time. Sure they leave little scars, but it's nothing to me. Especially when I know why I'm doing my job." He nudged me a little, making me smile.

"I only asked that because...I have a premonition that Amirah is coming back soon. Stronger than before. And if she could get passed hundreds of guards and murder my parents, I'm not sure if we're ready for this war. I don't think I'm ready." Glitz stopped walking and Abohaty too, when she realized him standing there.

"Wait, Amirah is coming back?" Abohaty sighed heavily.

"She's already here Glitz. That's what Twilight pulled me aside for yesterday to tell me! She threatened Pinkie Pie and her family at Sugar Cube Corner. So she, Cheese Sandwich, and Kelsey had to evacuate their home immediately. It's so darn confusing when she's coming and where. Because she's even threatened me before and-"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait-" Glitz interrupted her. "You never told me any of this..." The sound of disapproval in his voice caused Abohaty's heart to sink.

"I know, and I'm sorry! I didn't think it was a big deal...well actually I knew it was a big deal, it's just that Nom Nom didn't want anyone knowing about this for some reason and forced me and Dusk Shine to keep quiet from you, the high commission, the princesses..." Glitz frowned and thought for a bit.

"You guys actually told Dusk Shine about this before me?!"

"He's literally the prince now Glitz. It kind of makes sense for him to be the second important pony to know," Abohaty explained. Before Dusk Shine existed, Glitz was considered the second important pony due to being the princess' royal guard.

"You just met the guy. But hey, maybe not because you never told me about him either until I found out!"

"Hey, you said I wasn't obligated to tell you anything!" Abohaty snapped back.

"Look Abohaty," He began walking again and the princess slowly followed behind. "This is a very serious matter and I'd think that your guide instructor would know that too, but clearly not. When something like this comes up, the high commission and the guards need to know immediately so they can be prepared."

"I know that but Nom Nom-"

"Forget about Nom Nom!" he yelled. "You are the princess. You are in charge and you shouldn't take one opinion to be automatically right. I know Nom Nom probably just wants to protect us, but see that's what I think you guys are doing wrong. If we keep hiding like this, everypony is going to be at high risk of death." Glitz quieted down when he realized the mare in front of him was shaking slightly out of fear. "I'm sorry, it's just...I don't know. That isn't right to keep something like that a secret especially when it could cause some ponies their own lives! Including yours!"
