A visit with Celestia
Princess Celestia was taking a nap when the scroll appeared in a puff of smoke and fire. “Six? Goodness Twilight what have you been doing? Applejack swore to me you wouldn't touch any more liquor in her presence, if I have to rescue Twilight from a roof again somepony is spending a week on the moon.”
She penned a reply quickly, saying she would send a carriage. A few moments later another scroll popped into existence. “Dear Princess, let's hold off on the carriage a moment, I want to try something. Would you mind meeting me in my old room?” The next thing Celestia heard was an explosion, coming from the north wing. “What in the-”
-------------------------------------------------
Twilight coughed, and looked around, “Oh no...”
She had attempted a long range teleportation to her old room in the castle. She had been focusing on extending the range of the spell to include Spike. It seemed she had overdone things a bit, as she'd now managed to take a good portion of the library's floor, and six... No make that seven bookshelves. “How do I compensate for this much raw power? I really need help, or I really might hurt somepony!”
The rubble sent up a plume of dust, her west wall had been demolished, the seventh bookshelf (no make that six and a half, tax law textbooks by the looks of it, no great loss) in a pile of glass. The dust swirled inward as a shape barreled thru the wreckage.
“Twilight, are you in here? What on earth happened? Why would you try a teleport from Ponyville, even you don't have that kind of-” Celestia broke off, sudden comprehension refusing to quite come to the forefront of her mind. Her eyes relayed the message again, her brain explained loudly her eyes were damned liars and should check once more. Her heart decided it was going to play a drum solo for a bit and her stomach, not to be outpaced, did a barrel roll. “Buh.” Her mouth decided, since the rest of the body was clearly having a party, it would join in on the fun.
“Aren't they pretty? I have no idea what happened but here they were this morning! I found a good book on the subject and studied up a bit. I've ruled out every other possibility. I must be an alicorn! Can you help me Princess? I've been trying to control my magic but so far the casualties include seven texts on Equestrian tax code and one innocent brush, how do you deal with this much strength?” The silence lingered awkwardly. It whistled a bit.
Celestia's brain finished its little temper tantrum and relayed a message to the mouth.
“Pretty... yes...” Her brain sat back in satisfaction, job well done.
“Princess? Are you alright?” Spike looked up in concern. He waved a hand in front of her muzzle. “Twilight, I think you broke her.”
The dust swirled again as another shape flew into the hole that had previously been a wall. “SISTER, WHAT DEVILRY IS THIS? WE FELT A SURGE OF MAGIC AND SAW AN EXPLOSION-” Luna's voice cut off as she examined the scene. Her sister seemed paralyzed. A purple unicorn with wings was staring at her expectantly.
“TWILIGHT SPARKLE IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE- Ahem, We are most sorry Twilight. We were uncertain what had happened here and became excited and fearful. We... that is to say, I am most glad to see you, but what has happened here? Why is our... my sister so nonplussed? You look well I must say, your wings look particularly lovely!” Something about this situation seemed a bit unusual, but her happiness remained unabated. Luna embraced the unicorn fondly.
“It's good to see you too Luna! I needed to talk to you as well. I have no idea what happened; but my magic is out of control and I have wings! Celestia does not seem to be with us at the moment, I've been waiting for her to come back from wherever she is.”
Luna nodded sagely, she had seen this before. The memory was... not a fond one. Celestia had reacted like this when she had declared she would not let the sun rise. Also, once when she had walked in on Luna's... alone time. She walked over to her befuddled sibling and placed her muzzle close to her ear and whispered. “Celly, the sunrise is due in two minutes, you've overslept.”
Celestia glanced up in panic, which quickly turned to annoyance. “Lulu, why do you do that to me when I am trying to nap?!” She looked around, her senses relaying the information that her brain had been ignoring.
Twilight sighed in relief, this was not going as she'd hoped. “Thank goodness, I am so sorry if I startled you! Princess, I really need your help here!”
Celestia looked at her protege, “Twilight, I am so sorry; I was just a bit shocked. Tell me more please.”
Twilight nodded, she pulled out a book and opened it. She explained what she had read on the subject. “The book said it would be best to get information directly from the source, so here I am. Can you help me understand what's happening, and why? How do I control this much magic? How do you do anything without setting the world on fire with this much strength?”
The princess glanced at the book. Celestia had been so disheartened, but Professor Cann told her he what he intended. The book was written and published on a bet between the Cloudsdale University and Celestia's School for the gifted. It was a sound theory of course, the most gifted of Unicorns and the most talented of Pegasi researching the possibility of another alicorn outbreak occurring in Equestria, the whole study had proved a waste of time in the end. Despite concluding the whole thing pointless, having done the research they felt they needed to do something with the information. Thissdens had bet Cann two bits he wouldn't have the stones to publish it. Thissdens has lost that bet, and Cann had lost the respect of his colleagues for publishing something so useless. Who exactly would this information ever serve? Celestia looked down at her protege, Twilight's wings fluttered nervously as she looked up to her mentor for approval. Who indeed?

217349 my mind seems set on those lines yes, but first lets have a scene with Celestia. we can move on to the rest from there.
first?
217574
OMG FOR SRS 1 second from first.
whatever. OMG YOU UPDATED!!!!!!
:I think I should inform you that he's jumping up and down, spewing out cries of achievement.
Shush, Spike.
Awesome chapter and you must continue this! it's so funny
Must.. Have.. More
i love it
moar please
that it all
kthanxbai
A second chapter?! The laughs have been doubled! Keep up the good work, you've got an awesome concept, along with the brains guts and creativity to nail it! Get any better and I may just create/join a fanclub. Odds are there is one already.
--Khroam
it has a story now
There is another chapter?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW YEAH!
217642
i was surprised to see that, even the first chapter got a story added.
good tactic i have to say. First luring us in with nice guild-style humor and then hit us with a Story. very sneaky
217675 kill it with fire
217689 for what its worth I didn't expect it to be a more than a one shot myself. Fimfiction pointed out quite reasonably they have a policy in place that all stories must be just that, so I wrote one. Now it has a couple thousand views and a 4.5 star rating. I am as shocked as anyone.
217349
Do you by any chance remember the name of that Rainbow Dash alicorn fic?
also Luna is made of Epic Win in this chapter.

For some reason I have a feeling that Luna totally saw this whole thing coming.
Celestia got derp'd
Dear Professor Cann
Ah, was reah'dn throu that funny book of your's, ahn was have'n a good old time. On till I got to that thare part about "Pegacorns?", are them real or did Y'all make them up? If'n thare is such Ponies, thares got to be Earth-Pegasi too, right?(you know, part Pegasus, part Earth-pony)
My freind Sweetie Bell thinks I'm plum crazy, but ah am absolutely certain ar Pegasi pal Scootaloo is part Earth-pony. She has right tiny wing's an ah ant never seen her fly, even little Pound Cake whos only a month old can fly, so it's ah might strange a filly her age can fly yet right. Plus, she's alot tuffer then the other Pegasus fillys and colts we know, even the ones in the higher grades.
Now y'all dont get me wrong over thare, she's my freind Earth-Pegasus or not!
But what y'all said about Pegacorns getten there wings cut off got me right concerned, ah dont whant to see my freinds wings cut of even if they dont work quight right. Ahny information you can pony-up would be much appreciated.
Apple Bloom

Good Lord, I'm never doing something like this again. When I read your first chapter (job well done, by the way
) I instantly thought Earth-Pegasus and Earthacorn (Earth-Unicorn) after the word Pegacorn popped up, but I was only resntly hit with the idea to wright this.
Now, I put a lot of work in to this (not realy) and I expect Apple Boom to get a reply... In Character.
Reply 1 Here 219272
Letter 2 Here>>219726
Wow new chapter. Hope it sticks with tongue in cheek referential satire.
Almost cried out "Fuck yes!" in the middle of Geology when I checked my email during the break. Please continue! Alicorn!Sparkle has so much humor value!
217573 Wait... really?
Oh my Celestia, and I was mainly just throwing that out there...
Well, if the entirety of the Mane 6 is going to go Alicorn, then I think its only appropriate that is linked to the Elements of Harmony...
217728 Unfortunately, no I don't.
LOL
"Twilight I think you broke her.” - Y U NO HAVE COMMA?!
217675
Now I feel like this should somehow become at least a partial lesbian clopfic (for the lulz)
218309
I do believe there is something along those lines. And whilest I cannot link it I can say that it is on clopfic, hae a looksee.
217835
That also makes complete sense.
I was reading Rorschach in Equestria and when AJ gives him some Apple Pie, I wondered what his view on Liberty Prime would have been...'Communism is the very DEFINITION of failure!*Lobs nuke football*'
ha, Luna's alone time.

The original one-shot is Mommy Nearest by Fairy Slayer
The authorized incomplete sequel is Alicorn by Aldea Donder

Ah yes there was an anonymous untitled clopfic where Twilight grows wings and goes to Celestia for help. Celestia immediately proceeds to propose to Twilight and asks her t o bear her heir. Then sex.
"Alicorn Outbreak"
I see what you're going to do there...
poor toothbrush.

Forsooth, fine sir, indeed!
Was actually quite sweet.
The next thing Celestia heard was an explosion coming from the north wing.
-Well, Twilight has been impetuous in her experimenting with magic before, and it isn't like the book didn't SAY to practice... she was just following the directions.
Her eyes relayed the message again, her brain explained loudly her eyes were damned liars and should check once more. Her heart decided it was going to play a drum solo for a bit, and her stomach, not to be outpaced, did a barrel roll.
-Wow... Celestia outright FLUSTERED? Not even Discord's appearance did that. Confused? Somewhat. Flustered? No.
Her brain sat back in satisfaction, job well done.
-
Thissdens has lost that bet, and Cann had lost the respect of his colleagues for publishing something so useless.
-Ah, that would explain why there WAS a book on the subject, but that that the situation still broke Celestia's brain. Also explains the rather jocular nature of the guide.
I'm almost half expecting Thissdens to be "author" of the THGLE.
It would make so much sense. ps, more of the twilight and celestia things for lols. and maybe more jokular books >.>
218534 It hasn't updated in FOREVERRRR!!!
Which makes me sad... it was so epic an idea... But oh well, I can read this and other mane6 becoming alicorn fics xD
I want to see more of Mr. Howe Cann's works. I think you could really have some fun writing more how-to guides.
Anyway, funny, but I'd be careful where you tread, since there's already a sizable number of Twilight-turns-alicorn stories out there (Not My Destiny, anyone?). Just remember to keep it fresh, since it was the unique idea of your story (a manual on how to be an alicorn) that caught my attention in the first place, and I'd hate to see such an awesome idea devolve into a cookie cutter fan fic.
218769
I find Alicorn the most interesting myself mainly due to the fact that for all intents and purposes Twilight should be ecstatic to be an Alicoorn. For Dash on the other hand in any "serious" take on the situation it would probably not go over so well.
That said I have never found a serious "Mane 6 member becomes an Alicorn" fic I REALLY liked, Alicorn included (I am much more a fan of Mommy Nearest).
The comedies where this happens on the other hand... Solid awesome.
218534 Aww, you beat me to the punch on that!
218769 I know, which is a pity because it's really good.
218461
But then you have to realise that thw pyro perk is a waste of a perk.
218838 That's Professor Howe Cann thank you very much. You don't spend 40 years studying magical theory to be called Mister! This Question mark on my flank is a symbol of my eternal quest to find the who what where when why and ... howe
219206 Yes Professor Burnes is a noted researcher in the astrological community. He unfortunately went blind in one eye. He had the revolutionary idea of studying the sun instead of the more practiced study of the stars. He gets all the mares now, something about a stallion in an eyepatch who speaks passionately about the night sky...

Dear Miss Apple Bloom
Unfortunately, I Cannot Answer a majority of Your Questions, as It is my Esteemed Colleague, Dr. Thissdens, who is the leading expert in the field of Pegasus studies, underwhich heading Pegacorns Fall. However, I CAN personally verify the existance of Pegacorns as Pegacornism Happens to run in my family. My Late Great-Aunt Middle Red was the last "True" Pegacorn to be born in my family, but my Cousin Humphrey is what is Called a "Reverse" Pegacorn, wherein the afflicted is not a Unicorn with Vestigial Wings but a Pegasus with a Vestigial horn. In Such cases, The Horn is Rarely removed, Due to it's Sensitivity and the Major Blood Vessel Running through it. The Questions Raised in your letter Deserve to be answered and as such, I have taken the Liberty of Fowarding Your Letter on to Him. I Hope you recieve the Answers you desire and I must admit I am Intrigued by the Concept. I Think, Pehaps, you may have given me My Next research Topic. Best of Luck getting an Answer from that Curmudgeon, Apple Bloom

go see Letter 2 in the next chapter coments

"I was just a bit shocked." that is a huge understatement
Well... This is new...
"Luna nodded sagely, she had seen this before. The memory was... not a fond one. Celestia had reacted like this when she had declared she would not let the sun rise. Also once when she had walked in on Luna's... alone time."
239244
yes I had to throw that in there, I left it to the reader to determine what luna does while she is alone. its as dirty or innocent as your mind makes it.
Why did turn this story into a multiple chapter story?
One more thing "Do a barrel roll! Press A to shot"
239598 It was written as a one shot little guide, Fimfiction has a policy against "manuals" so even though it was accepted as originally written, it was taken down. I decided while the original did not include dialog from anyone the whole intent of the guide was I wanted something Twilight would be able to research in this circumstance. In all the Twicorn fics she seems to just freak out, she never does what comes naturally to the character, IE hit the books. The story flowed from there. My lovely readers threw out a few notions, I liked them, so I incorporated them. People continue to read it, I am having fun writing it, so here we are.
239673 It all makes sense now, thank you.
This story is quite good.
I'm going to admit it, through this chapter and the last, there were quite a few places where there should have been punctuation
... still, brilliant!
all my moustache are belong to you:
Your sense of humor amuses me. You may live to write another chapter
Loving it so far, and I lol'd a bit at her reaction. Absolutely perfect, though I'd imagine more fear in the mix.
She had attempted a long range teleportation her old room in the castle.
-You are missing the word "to" in-between the words "teleportation" and "her".
OMG, i laughed my head off when Luna brought Celestia back to Equestria "the sunrise is in two minutes, you've overslept!"
Celestia.exe has stopped working.
Would you like to re-install?
I realize that I'm reading this A LONG time after it's posted, but...
ch., last paragraph:
"but Professor Cann told her he what he intended" ... what?
Anyways, I'm enjoying the fact that this fic is fun.
