What if Twilight was orphaned before her acceptance into Celestia's school for gifted unicorns?

what if she and the princess of the sun became inseparable? What if Twilight starts calling Celestia mommy after their lessons?

What if Celestia loves it?

Princess Celestia, tired of the constant pressure that ruling a nation puts on her, decides to take a day off and let Luna take her responsibilities for a day, something the younger alicorn is more than happy to do. She disguises herself as a pink maned pegasus pony named Sunny Skies, and decides to go walking around Canterlot without any supervision. Unfortunately for her, not all parts of Canterlot are as safe as the palace, and she finds herself at the wrong end of a gang of muggers, who decide to kidnap her for a ransom when they see how much money she has on her.

Luna freaks out.

Celestia thinks it's hilarious.

WANTED:

The newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle has set up a bold new initiative to discover new magic, and is sending out an open call to the unicorns of Equestria to apply for her research team. No experience in magical theory or research necessary. Enthusiasm and out-of-the-box thinking a must. The Equestrian government is not responsible for any physical, emotional, or magical trauma experienced during the course of the project or the application process.

Why, hello there! Can't say that I've seen you around before. Welcome to Ponyville Library. Let me know if you need help with anything. Oh, right. Where are my manners? My name is Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Princess Celestia of Equestria and resident librarian. Oh, and some might call me the laziest unicorn in Ponyville.

Heh. They're just jealous. Try the laziest unicorn in all of Equestria. And that's a title I'm most proud to bear, thank you very much.  What's that? Why, you ask? Well. Let me tell you about the time that I accidentally managed to save Equestria.

Several times, actually.

Note: Not a crossover with "A Series of Unfortunate Events." Sorry to disappoint. I just couldn't resist the reference.

First person from Twilight's perspective.

It's an offhand remark, “You're only young once,” but for Twilight Sparkle it strikes an unsettling chord.  After all, everypony has to grow up; and when ponies grow up, they move away; and when they move away, they fall out of touch...

Terrified that her friends are going to drop out of her life, Twilight resolves to spend every waking moment with them.  She also gives up sleeping.  

This can only end well.

Dedicated to absent friends, to all our times together, and to reunions yet to come.  Don't ever stop being awesome.

Just over two years after her banishment ended, Luna now rules over her night with Celestia's day. However, the night can become a very boring place, and when you have way too many hours of nothing to do, you tend to make... interesting choices in terms of activities.

Note: This takes place before season 3.

Many thanks to Kitsunehero for editing.

Ah'm trying to tell you guys, but yer not listenin'. Haven't you two noticed Twilight actin' different lately? How she's always nervous in public now? Or how 'bout the fact she's never at her library no more? It's like she's hidin' somethin' and Ah know what it is. She's got wings, and we're gonna prove it.

Spin-off of Ascend.

Twilight Sparkle is a scientific pony.  She understands things when they are explained.

Pinkie Pie is... uh... not a scientific pony.  And she can't explain anything.

But there are secrets in the Wabe that Twilight needs to know, and only Pinkie has the answers.
