Little Knight
Twilight Sparkle and Celestia would often visit their dragon hatchling in the nursery.
In those days, Twilight Sparkle would completely discard her usual persona of serious and diligent student. She would play all kinds and manners of games with the purple hatchling, and Celestia would either watch from a distance, or role-play to join in.
On that particular day…
“I will protect you, Princess Celestia!” Twilight declared valiantly in the face of the dragon. “I will vanquish this huge and ferocious dragon and save you! I swear on my honor!”
Twilight, Celestia mused, must have been studying the middle ages with a little too much fervor.
She chuckled.
“Oh, please, my little knight!” Celestia joined in. “Please protect me from this huge and ferocious dragon!”
And Twilight Sparkle did. She puffed her chest up, stomped a hoof down in front of the huge and ferocious dragon--
SQUEAK
--and accidentally stepped on a rubber duck toy in the process.
No matter, Twilight stared determinedly at the purple “menace”.
The huge and ferocious dragon took her challenge very seriously.
He grabbed his tail and started to very cutely suck on it.
Twilight faltered.
Slowly, she turned to Celestia.
“…Princess," Twilight started, with all the air of a resigned warrior.
“I’m afraid I will have to commit seppuku.”
This is what happens when you make a crossover of two cultures.
Anyway, sorry for the wait. Can honestly say, time flew away from me.
Oh, and to 1530
They're actually meant to be short, fast-paced stories because I think of them more as anecdotes than actual stories. Still, I'm glad you like them.
D'aaaaaaw
1557
Is that a good kind of "D'aaaaaaw" or a bad kind? XD
Probably good.
Anyways, loved the stories - especially the characterisation.
1559
D'aaaaaaws are always good, and add my own as well.

Thanks. I'm very glad you like them. And I'm glad the characters seem to be in character.
Although, I have to admit, writing Spike is definitely very difficult. Considering he's just a baby, and I don't have all that much of experience with babies, I'm having a bit of a trouble with him. I'll have to do research.

x3 Thankzzzz!
1567
Thanks. x3
I wonder, though, what is it about that chapter that confuses you?
The part where Twilight stepped on the rubber ducky instantly popped into my head as something that would actually happen in an episode. Really enjoyed this, I look forward to seeing more.
I assume that you knew that European knights committed suicide or surrendered their swords and armor (even worse than death) after dishonor. Just that they didn't have a special ritual for it.
Love the style, though. Very cute

I'm glad to hear that. And I hope you like the following chapters as well.

I didn't know the part about committing suicide, but I did know that they took honor very seriously. That's why I combined the two ideas. Still, it is good to hear that both ideas weren't all that unrelated.
And thanks!
This series is hilarious and adorable in a dangerously addictive combination. I eagerly look forward to more.
(Also, I think I found Waldo.)
sorry to double post.
As I read these stories, the adorableness and cuteness continued to increase. I think my brain died, and now I must quit the internet, as the cat videos can no longer take up the fight.
Imagine that in the Royal Canterlot Voice, in case you didn't get it. Anyway so this is something I squeezed just before going to work. The Haiku belongs to Matsuo Basho. I was looking for moon poem and I thought this one was strangely fitting. Something of a Celestia reading poetry to Luna every night to help her pass the time or something, in a way that Luna understood, of course. And well, there's hints of the future here, as well.
Anyway, guys, you know, when I logged back in and saw just how many people had subscribed, rated and favored this story, I really felt guilty for not having updated sooner. Having said that, THANK YOU ALL! I really felt happy when I saw the response this received even though it took forever to update. Thanks, really.
So, to the people who commented, sorry for not doing so sooner.

and ice: seppuku is ritualistic suicide in japan (don't look it up unless you really wanna know how they do it)
