Twilight was running, as she thought about what happened, she tried to make sense of it but she could not, she tried to piece it together again and again, but there was no sense in what happened. She tried to take it out of her thoughts, and forced herself to center in what was going around her and stop herself. Unconsciously her hooves guided her to the old Golden Oaks Library, as she looked over it. It was as she remembered, except for a couple of things like the telescope on the terrace and smaller details.
She wanted to do nothing more than enter inside her little sanctuary, the only place in Equestria she thought that was safe, she was going to open the door when a little voice called to her.
“Im sorry for being too slow Miss Twilight, did you wait for me?” Asked the little white filly.
The distraction caused Twilight to return to her senses, as her hoof go away from the door, it was not her library, and it was not the time, she need to meet her friends again.
Because of that and using great willpower she go away from the Golden Oak Library and begin to move to Fluttershy cottage, just in time to listen her begin the bird chorus. It was near the middle when suddenly a nut hit Twilight in the head. She looked around and then another nut hit her head. Just then she looked up, to see Angel Bunny in a branch with a nut in her pawns ready to throw another one, but he was stoped by Twilight magic before throwing the deadly projectile for third time. It was then that Fluttershy seemed to discover Twilight and Celestia presence or Tia as she called herself, in less that one second one big shout was listened around.
“HEELP!” Shouted Fluttershy. At first Twilight was not sure what was happening until she begin to see the situation, as shy she was Fluttershy, and because they did not know each other in that moment and seeing how Twilight was using magic in Angel Bunny she possibly enter in panic.
Putting down her magic, Twilight tried to explain herself as she did go near Fluttershy, but before she could talk a Rainbow blur passed in front of her eyes, something Twilight know very well, and suddenly a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane put herself in front of Fluttershy
“Who are you? What are you doing here? And why did you make Fluttershy cry? Are you a Spy?” Asked Rainbow Dash
Twilight facehoofed after the last question, but even so, she tried to explain.
“Look, I… Im sorry Rainbow Dash, you see, Im Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia Student, and this little filly in my side is Tia, she act as my assistant” The little filly nodded after being mentioned as the Rainbow mare seemed to inspect Twilight
“How do you know my name” Asked Rainbow Dash, as Twilight gulp a little
“I know… Because I… I... “ Twilight tried to think in a valid answer and after an awkward silence managed to say.
‘Come on… Think… Think...Think’ Just then a mental candle ignited in the head of Twilight
“It’s because I investigated about you… After all you make the Sonic Rainboom, how to not know about you?” Asked Twilight as she hope that Dash believe her
“Of course… Sometimes I forgot how awesome am I” Say Rainbow Dash
‘Great… Even here, Rainbow Dash have a great ego’ Think Twilight
“I was here to check that everything was correct for Princess Celestia in the coming celebration, but when I was here I find your friend with the chorus of birds, and because I did not want to disturb I decided to wait until she finished… Or at least it was what I wanted until a certain bunny, begin to throw me nuts” Say Twilight as her eyes fixed in Angel Bunny that was still in the branch, ready to throw another nut, until the other mares looked at him and tried to hide the nut in his back.
“Um… errr… Im sorry… He is… A little protective… Please don’t be angry with him… Or with me…” Say Fluttershy to Twilight as she forced herself to look to her.
“Don’t worry… It’s not that big problem” Say Twilight as she tried to come near Fluttershy, but the yellow pegasus hide herself behind Rainbow Dash
“Well… I think is best that I leave, as it seems everything is correct here” Say Twilight, but before she leaved she listened something
“W… Wait!!” Shouted Fluttershy
Twilight stopped herself and looked to Fluttershy that managed to come from behind Rainbow Dash and her own mane
“I… Thank you for not disturb the chorus and for listening… It was… It was good? I mean… I don’t know the taste of Princess Celestia so…” Begin to say Fluttershy but Twilight shocked with the head
“Don’t worry, it was very good, Im sure Princess Celestia will love it”
With a smile, she left to Sugarcube Corner to check if Pinkie Pie was in there, but there was no luck in that and after a little talk she leave to the town hall to find Rarity, at least this did not changed, as she was like how she remember of the first time she meet with her, except because this time, her mane was not a disaster.
“Hello… Im Twilight Sparkle, student of Princess Celestia and…” Begin to present herself Twilight but was stopped by Rarity
“Of Course, of course… I hear of you darling, everypony is talking about how you scared the poor Fluttershy” Say Rarity
“I did not try…” Tried to defend Twilight but she was silenced by the white unicorn
“Of course darling, of course… We know it, but it’s stll a good tale… Now… you say you are the student of Princess Celestia so… You live in Canterlot?” Asked Rarity big a curiosity
After a little talk about Canterlot she was forced by Rarity to go to the boutique to talk and drink tea, something that have nearly the same sucess as the visit to Applejack, even the tea tasted like ashes, not a different type of ashes, but the same. In the boutique, the little Celestia was nearly kidnapped by Rarity sister, Sweetie Belle, but Twilight was quick and managed to say a excuse about it was best that Tia was around her instead.
She managed to fool Rarity with the tea and after the talk and be forced to try some dresses she managed to get out of the Carousel Boutique, and finally end in front of the Golden Oak Library again, after breathing a little, she calmed herself and enter in the supossed surprise party of Pinkie Pie.
As she was inside, Twilight tried to talk again with everypony she knows and socialize as she tried to do it better that what happened in the first time. Little by little the party begin to end and everypony begin to walk to the Town Hall.
-----------
Twilight was looking the podium of Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration, she was in the Town Hall waiting as the mayor mare talked about Princess Celestia, in mainly a couple of moments, Nightmare Moon was going to appear instead of Chrysalis disguised as Princess Celestia, as she was sure not even Chrysalis could battle Nightmare Moon.
“Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited-- well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went [deep gasp] and before you meet me I managed to make you a welcome party, but I mean really, who can top that? And... ohhh right, that did not happen in this reality...” Twilight only nodded with her head as she was looking like mostly other to where Celetia was supossed to appear
“...Princess Celestia!” Finished shouting mayor mare as all the ponies begin to cheer and look, as Twilight also looked.
This was the moment, now Nightmare Moon was supossed to appear after banishing Celestia, but she did not know was that the Celestia she was going to banish was Queen Chrysalis. After that everything was going to be okay.
Twilight waited a couple of seconds as the people wondered what was happening because Princess Celestia seemed to be late, and then with a bright light, the image of Princess Celestia appeared with all her majesty.
“My dear ponies, it’s great to be here another year with all of you in this celebration” Begin to speak with a smile. Twilight looked around to be sure and yes, the little filly white alicorn was there with her smile looking the image of the big Celestia, with her typical smile, so the Princess Celestia that was in the podium was not other that Queen Chrysalis.
“Before I raise the sun again, I have some important news for all of you” Say Chrysalis disguised as Princess Celestia as all the people around begin to whisper each other worried.
“As you maybe all know, years ago I take a little filly as my student, I tutored her, and checked the best for her. Today, I want to announce that I decided to take a second student, I hope to give her a great future and all of us can help her” With a sign, a little black filly appeared from the back of Princess Celestia, the surprise was in all the faces because all the people could watch with surprise that the little filly, not only was the new student of Princess Celestia, she also have a horns and wings, making her a Alicorn, just like the Princess.
As every pony was looking the little filly Alicorn, Twilight looked with surprise the little filly, as she was smiling, she know perfectly that smile, that smile was not because the filly was happy, that smile, was the smile of a Ponypet. Just then, Twilight finally fainted after watching that
Twilight suddenly awakened and looked around to see she was in what seemed to be a tea party, in front of her, was Princess Celestia with her smile drinking the tea and in a side was Luna sleeping she tried to recognize where she was without luck.
“Princess Celestia? I… have the most strange nightmare you could imagine, I wanted to go to the past after Tirek destroyed the golden Oak Library, and somehow I ended in a strange past, you were reemplaced with Queen Chrysalis, I was her daughter, connected with the hive and all, and both you and Princess Luna lost almost all your powers, Chrysalis absorbed them and turned both of you in fillies. Not only that, my version of that dimension tortured for fun like a game and you only smiled… That is a strange dream, right Princess Celestia?” Asked Twilight but the Princess only looked smiling at her as she drink her tea
“Princess Celestia? Are you okay?” Asked Twilight a little confused looking around, just then, she noticed that Princess Luna that was sleeping just a couple of seconds ago, was not around as she seemed to dissapear suddenly when she did not see.
“Princess Celestia? Where did Princess Luna go? Princess Celestia please, Answer me” Say Twilight as she tried to grab the Princess but the image of the Princess and the room with the tea begin to fade and go away.
“Princess Celestia? Princess Celestia! Please return! Did I make something bad? I try to do it better, Please… Princess!!!” Shouted Twilight as she tried to run to find Princess Celestia but she could not. As much as she run, as much as she forced herself, the image of her Princess was going far and far away until only darkness was around.
Just then she wake up, she was resting again in the bed, the roof in her head was familiar, it was the roof of her bedroom in the library, she sensed like if she did not have energy, she could not even move, she wanted to move but her body not wanted or could not move, she fell restless like if she did not sleep and recently finished runing a marathon and used too much magic at the same time. She wanted to move, she needed energy, and then it was when she sensed something..
She begin to sense something, like a explosion of different flavours, as if she was drinking the most delicious Apple Cyder, it was very good, compared with the Cyder of the apple family, this was a thousand times better, as she sensed how her energy was returning to the body, the energy runing in her body with every taste she begin to lick repeatedly her lips trying to savour a little more. This sensation was glorious, as she opened her eyes little by little as she begin to recover her senses and looked around. She could not describe how good was that sensation, it was the best she even tasted, it was great, it was… horrible.
In a side of her bed, Twilight catched with her eyes the vision the little white filly Celestia become with her smile and her eyes a little closed like if she did not have too much energy or need to sleep, still smiling. But not only that, if it was only that it could not be bad, the worst was something else... A green beam connected the horn of the little alicorn with the horn of Twilight, she did not need too much time to understand what happened and from where was coming that delicious flavor, it was then she know from where was coming that sensation, she was draining the love of Celestia.
“Good Morning Mistress, I hope you like your breakfast” Say Celestia with a smile, like if it was nothing, even so, Twilight was not so sure, as far as she remembered from what her BBBFF, eating not only produce a big headache, but it also drained somepony physically and mentally, she could not guess how the little filly was inside, the only she could see was a smile as the filly was being eaten.
“IM a good ponypet giving myself to my Mistress… My only purpose is serve my love and devotion for my mistress and obey… IM a good ponypet… I have to stay happy and smiling...” Muttered the little Celestia in a very low voice, like a whisper or a mantra, if Twilight was more far she could not listen, or maybe doubt about that, but as the little filly was no far from her, she could listen that perfectly without doubt.
