Chapter Four: A New Alicorn

Twilight and Rainbow were woken from their slumber by high pitched screaming. Twilight jumped out of the bed and ran to the room next door while Rainbow laid back down while rubbing her temples. She chuckled lightly as it was almost the same way Twilight's seals broke. All the way down to the magic making her wings tingle.

In the next room, Twilight sat next to Trixie for comfort as the azure mare twisted and screamed as she grew to her size and earned a pair of wings. She could feel the raw magic that poured from the mare's horn as the seals to her magical reserve broke, sending it all to her horn. From expirence, Twilight knew Trixie would have one hell of a headache in the morning.

She finally stopped screaming, sending the room into a loud silence. The only sound was of Trixie's heavy breathing as the alicorn mare tried to catch her breath. Twilight took this moment to look her over.

She stood about the same height as her. Her horn was at the same length as well. The only difference was the smaller wings that she more then likely adopted from her mother. The mare's mane also grew, having it fit to her larger figure. It flowed around her as she laid there panting.

"It's scary how this scene looks exactly like when my seals broke. Though I won't do what Rainbow did." said Twilight, shaking her head.

"What did she do?" asked Trixie, lifting her head off the bed slightly.

"I may have told the ponies that were trying to break into our room that we were having sex and Twilight may have gotten a little loud when she came." said Rainbow, walking into the room. Both Trixie and Twilight blushed at the comment, causing Rainbow to fall over laughing.

"You know damn well I am not that loud." said Twilight, glaring at her fiancé.

"TMI, you two. I don't need to hear about your sex life." moaned Trixie, covering her ears.

"Oh come on, Twilight pulls off the naughty librarian very well." Rainbow laughed as a pillow wrapped in a magenta glow impacted her face, Trixie glared at her.

"Fuck. You."

"That's Twi's job." said Rainbow with a smirk. Trixie groaned and fell back on the bed.

"I have too bad of a headache to deal with this." she said. Twilight stood and moved to the door.

"Then we will leave you to your sleep. I will start planning the coronation in the morning." With that, the couple left, leaving a very exhausted azure alicorn to sleep.

"She isn't up yet?" asked Celestia when they entered the dining hall. Her and Luna were already waiting for them. Twilight shook her head.

"She woke up in the middle of the night, screaming because her body and head felt like they were on fire. I was dead to the world for twelve hours before I got up." said Twilight, sitting down next to them. "Give her a few hours and whip her up a nice brunch and the best remedy for hangovers we have."

"Why would she need something for hangovers?" asked Luna, wondering why her daughter needed such a thing.

"Her magical seal broke, Luna. One of the things being held bak was magic and it rushes to the horn once released. It gives you a headache to rival the worst of hangovers. I think the first thing I did when I woke up was puke. Rainbow heard probably over a thousand 'I'm sorry's that day." she said.

"That's what I get for standing next to the bed to make sure you were okay." said Rainbow, shaking her head at the memory. "Took me hours to get the smell out of my fur."

"Good thing she has marble flooring and not a pony to throw up on." said Celestia with a chuckle. "At least the effects are temporary."

"Yeah, but they are a pain in the ass for the whole day. I couldn't operate my whole entire birthday. I had to celebrate it the next day." grumbled Twilight. She sighed and brought out a quill and parchment. "Well, I got quite the list to do." She paused at the first check box and face hoofed. "Sorry, babe, you get to do some royal buisness."

"It can't be that bad." said Rainbow, shrugging.

"You got to go manor to manor and invite nobles." she said. Rainbow just waved it off. "Formally." She froze, wide eyed.

"Oh fuck."

"I thought you would say that. Now here is the list of names." said Twilight, pulling out a long list of names.

"Why can't I get one of the maids to do it?" she whined. Twilight shook her head and thruster the list in her face.

"It has to be done formally. Now it won't be that bad, Blueblood is in prison currently so most of the nobility shouldn't bother you too much. Besides, Fancy Pants is first." said Twilight.

"Fine." said Rainbow as she took the parchment in her mouth. "But you are going to pay me back for it."

"I do that almost every night so it wouldn't do much." said Twilight, focusing on her coffee. Rainbow snorted and flew off.

"She seemed rather excited for the task, don't you think?" said Celestia with a smirk. Twilight rolled her eyes.

"She was absolutely ecstatic. She is hopping around like a little school filly at a candy store right now." she said, biting down on a piece of toast. "She sometimes forgets she is in a relationship with royalty and has to do the more formal affairs with me. I'll be surprised she will survive our marriage."

"Well she loves you enough to not give a shit, that is for sure. I think the only reason she didn't want to go was because it was t for you." said Luna, picking up the Equestria Daily in her magic.

"It's funny how she says she doesn't do 'sappy' things yet can be romantic a lot of the time." said Twilight with a shake of her head.

"So is this a relationship where she is the romantic one and you're the naughty librarian?" said Celestia, smirking.

"Maybe." said Twilight, blushing. Celestia and Luna laughed, causing her to turn a deeper shade of crimson.

"Ugh, stop laughing, my head hurts too much." They turned around to see Trixie walking into the room, rubbing her temple. Her long mane was anything but regal as it sat like a birds nest on her head. Her tail was equally messy.

"10:30. She beat my record by two hours." said Twilight with a pout.

"Sue me. Where is Rainbow?" said Trixie, sitting down and levitating the entire pitcher of coffee over to her. She poured an entire cup and started to drink it eagerly.

"Doing your favorite job, inviting nobles." said Twilight, levitating a plate of food to her. She nodded her thanks and dug in.

"Fuck this headache is going to kill me." said Trixie, putting her head in her hooves.

"If you were a mortal, then it would have already." said Luna. Trixie stared at her with one eye.

"So you mean to tell me if I wasn't a full blown alicorn, the seal would have killed me?"

"No. The release of magic would of. If great enough, the magic unleashed could melt a unicorns brain. A nasty sight." said Luna, shaking her head.

"You scare me, mother." said Trixie. Luna beamed and nuzzled her.

"It's my job to scare you as well as embaress you." she said, grinning.

"Coming from the goddess of the night, I'm fucked." said Trixie. She put her head in her hooves as the others laughed. She cursed then for being so loud while she had a headache.
