//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The hard knock life of a Princess // by deleted account DNB //------------------------------// The glorious sunshine shined through the balcony window on this fine Sunday morning. I got out of bed and brushed my mane. After words I took off my robe and hung it up in my closet. When I was about to go out a small letter slid under my door. Out of curiosity I opened it. "Now what does it say? Dear Twilight, your presence is required at the breakfast table. We have much to discus. Princess Celestia. Well I guess I better get there," I said allowed. I walked through my wing which was in the west and walked to the center of the castle where the dining room was. The guards opened the door for me and I saw Cadence, Luna, and my teacher. I sat next to Cadence because I felt calmer around her. "Ah, Twilight I'm very glad you’re here because we have to talk to you about something. And it's my understanding that you snuck off to Ponyville last night without telling anyone. I understand this is new for you but we need to know where you are at all times. It's for your own safety," Princess Luna said. Cadence continued on Luna's words," What she is trying to say is that we don't want anything bad to happen to you because you are now a ruler of Equestria just like us.It is very important that you are safe. Now it's time to introduce you to some-pony. She is going to help you in big ways. Oh, here she is now." We all stared at the white mare as she walked into the room. She was a earth pony who had a black mane and tail in a fancy mane-style. She almost reminded me of how Rarity looks when she dresses up for parties. "Hello, I am Madam Lacy Crown dear college of Princess Cadence. I was her teacher when she was about your age Princess Twilight Sparkle. I specialize in teaching of all fields that includes the ways of a princess. From now on you will be taught by me to learn how to be a proper princess so you can rightfully represent Equestria in important matters. Your lessons will start first thing tomorrow. You do have the weekends off just like in any school," Madam Lacy said then looked at her watch. She continued, "Oh, I'm sorry Cadence I have another appointment so we won't get to catch up until later. I'm sorry for your inconvenience your majesty." Then she left the room and I did Cadence's calming technique. "I know you'll be great Twilight you always like to learn new things. But the three of us have to attended the dress rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Equestria Games in the Crystal Empire," Cadence said then the three of them left the room. I know she is a famous teacher of all fields but I really would of preferred to be taught by Cadence, but I have to tell my friends about this school thing. I walked to the door and went to tell the guards where I was going. "Excuse me sir, I am going to Ponyville for the day," I said to the guard. He replied, "Yes, would you like to go their by your chariot?" I shook my head and he nodded. Then I flew down to Ponyville after sending Spike a letter telling him I was coming and to get the others to meet me at Fluttershy's cottage.. As soon as I landed in front of the house a whole swarm of ponies surrounded us. They were screaming and I felt very uncomfortable. Luckily the guards came to my rescue and used their magic to keep the crowd back as I entered the house. "Twilight we came as soon as we heard the news. Are you alright?," Fluttershy said then sat on her couch. I replied, " I'm fine but I have something very important to talk to you guys about!" Then I used my calming technique to calm myself down. Rarity said, "Well gone on with it darling. I have a big fashion show planned tonight and I need to prepare the." AJ put her hoof over her mouth and cut her off by saying, "I think what she is trying to say is what is you want to talk to us about." "Well, the Princess has given me a tutor," I said slowly. "Hugh?," they all asked. I said in reply," Since you know that I'm a princess they hired a teacher to teach me how to be a proper princess. Oh, and her name is Lacy Crown." Rarity quickly ran up to me and looked me in the eye and asked, "Lacy Crown? As in the Lacy Crown? The same pony who taught Sapphire Shores how to sing and dance and who taught Fancy Pants to be fancy?." I quickly nodded, and she fainted and I put her on her couch she brought for the occasion. "I think it's great you get to be taught by this famous teacher, but who knows you may end up learning something that will help you in the future as a princess," AJ stated. "Huh, but there's one problem.I have to go to these classes every week day in Canterlot which means I can't see you guys as much anymore!," I screamed, but them used the technique repeatedly. After my scream a guard came in and asked, " Are you alright your highness because I heard a large scream?" I said, "Um, yes I am fine. Please carry on." Then he left and Rarity woke up from her faint attack. "It's ok Twilight even though we can't see each-other everyday you can still send us letters through Spike. We can hang out on the weekends. Now I have something to ask you."Fluttershy said. She then asked me,"Would you like to come with us to Rarity's fashion show tonight?" I nodded and hug the girls. Then I told the guards I would be at Carousel Boutique, and told them to tell Cadence that I will be in Ponyville until after the show ends. I then walked to her shop, and went inside to help Rarity set up the models for her big fashion show!
