// Story: Something Deeper 
// by Midnight Bloom 
//------------------------------//

	Twilight ran around the library, organising books and papers, straightening
everything. Twilight couldnʼt make up her mind. There was a war raging inside the
unicorn. She was the princessʼ student, but she wanted to be more than that. She felt it
was wrong, she was the princess, and was supposed to be respected not lusted after by
ponies below her. The princess raised the sun and commanded very powerful magic,
she wasnʼt a pony that could loved by just anypony. Twilight adored the princess, she
was beautiful, powerful, and had a kind heart, but Twilight was one of her subjects, she
was to be respected. Both her crush on the princess and the task of giving the princess
the respect she deserved fought for control of Twilight. Neither side seemed to win and
Twilight just became more and more confused when she thought about it, so she
shoved it down, hiding it from herself.
In an effort to distract herself from her mixed feelings, Twilight busied herself with
cleaning the library, making everything perfect. Still her thoughts turned to the princess.
Then mercifully Spike walked down the stairs interrupting her thoughts.
“Twilight, itʼs getting late; if you stay up all night worrying about tomorrow, youʼll
be a wreck.” He said yawning.
“Maybe youʼre right.” She said with a sigh, not letting her inner turmoil escape.
ʻThings will settle themselves out tomorrow,ʼ She lied to herself as she walked up the
stairs to her waiting bed.
The morning came all too fast. Just minutes after she closed her eyes for the
night and it was time to wake up for the day.
Today was the day, the day Celestia was coming to Ponyville. Twilight wasnʼt
feeling any better than the night before. At breakfast she barley touched her food and
seemed to be in a daze. Then out of nowhere she was calm.
ʻEverything will be alright,ʼ She told herself. ʻI just wonʼt bring it up. Sheʼll come
and weʼll talk and sheʼll leave, and everything will work out.ʼ She sucked in a deep
breath and let it out slowly, calming her nerves. Looking at the clock, Twilightʼs heart
skipped a beat, the princess was going to be there in a couple minutes. She had
overslept! Taking another deep breath to calm down again, she glanced around the
library quickly, making sure everything was perfect before she left the library, hurrying to
meet the princess.
Twilight rushed through the town, heading for the town square. A mass of ponies
had already grouped there, awaiting the princessʼ arrival. Twilight slowed down to a trot,
not wanting to look over excited to see the princess. She pushed her way to the front of
the crowd just in time to see the princess pull up in her chariot.
Twilight stopped.
ʻIʼm not ready for this!ʼ
