Twilight galloped up the white steps of the castle. After much contemplation, she had finally figured out her true feelings for Celestia. Nothing could stop her from expressing her feelings. She needed to find Celestia.
Guards moved out of the way as Twilight rushed through the halls of the caste in search of the princess. Doors flew by her in a blur as she searched for any sign of her. As she passed a room, she heard the princess' voice. She skidded to a halt, pushing her hooves down as hard as she could, and made a full turn around before galloping into the door. She had no time to knock, and busted the door down.
Inside was Celestia speaking with on the guards about security, but when Twilight entered they both stared at her. Celestia knew something was the matter if Twilight was breaking down doors, and sent the guard out of the room.
"What's wrong Twilight?" she asked.
Twilight gasped for breath and tried to speak, attempting several times before getting audible words out of her mouth.
"Princess Celestia. I love you. Do you wanna, I don't know, go out sometime?"
Celestia stared at Twilight wide-eyed. She didn't know what to make of the information, but trotted up to Twilight. She but a hoof on Twilight's shoulder and stared her straight in the eye.
"Twilight, I'm four thousand years old, immortal, and a goddess princess, and you are a normal unicorn who is, like, seventeen. You can't date me."
Twilight looked at the ground and frowned. "Okay."

I laughed out loud at the end. Okay? Okay? That's like Dash saying "Yeah, I guess I'm not cut out for the Wonderbolts. Nevermind." But seriously, here's a 500-word-or-so sketch I've had sitting around that covers the same idea, but could be the intro to a nice dark fic. This seems like the place to post it.
It had taken no small amount of preparation for Twilight Sparkle to get to this point. In fact, it had taken quite a large amount of preparation. Even aside from the lifetime of nurturing this most secret of dreams, it had taken her weeks of conscious preparation and premeditation to get here. She had made lists. She had checked them twice. Even the checks had gotten checks of their own. And now, standing before her beloved mentor at the gates of Canterlot Castle, a hoof digging against the cobblestones nervously but her eyes never leaving Celestia’s, it was finally time to ask the million bit question.“Princess Celestia... will you go out with me?”
Twilight Sparkle was not unobservant, not by a long shot. While she had moments when describing her as “socially inept” would have been like describing the Neighagara Falls as “wet”, she could read expressions just as well as the next pony. With the amount of attention she was paying to her beloved mentor’s face at the moment, she would have had to have been unobservant indeed to have missed the series of expressions that flickered across the immortal mare’s visage.
Surprise. Confusion. Hope. Then... was that fear? But it was gone as soon as it came, replaced by the all-too-familiar mask of distant authority, and behind it, a regret as old as the sun itself.
“No, my faithful student. I will not.”
And that was all. There was no explanation. There never was, with Cel- with Princess Celestia. She had said exactly what she meant, and exactly what needed to be said: no less, and no more. It was her way.
And she was right, as always: there was no need for an explanation. There was no question of why at the tip of Twilight’s tongue. A thousand reasons why presented themselves: the same thousand reasons that had plagued her all the way here. The same thousand reasons she had held her tongue for all her time studying under that wonderful mare, the ones that had always made her excuse her feelings as a schoolfilly’s silly crush. There was no argument to be made. There were no questions to ask. There was simply what was, and what would not be.
There was nothing more to say. Twilight Sparkle nodded once, turned, and fled before her beloved teacher could see her in tears. She fled to the gardens, galloping between bushes and trees and into a familiar hedge maze. Without really thinking about where she was going, she navigated the corners and intersections, hoping only to get herself lost enough that nopony would find her for a good, long time.
But as she ran, the why became a maelstrom in her mind. There were a whole host of reasons, yes. A whole list of reasons. And as she skidded to a halt at a dead end near the center of the maze, she could almost see that list. And she could almost see the checkboxes next to each item.
Checkboxes... were made to be checked.
Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle was going to be a very busy mare.
There was a flash of light, and she was gone. On the other side of the hedge wall that had blocked her path, one could almost imagine that the expression of a certain statue had twisted into a self-satisfied smile.

So what... Celestia is just plain doomed to never have a relaionship? Compared to 4000 years, EVERYPONY falls under this. What is she going to do, wait for someone her age? Not really butt hurt here, I'm not much of a shipper, I just find error with the logic in this one. Not as well done as the Fluttermac chapter.
Shot down!

Well, I don't agree with THIS one. With Fluttershy and Big Macintosh, their reactions made perfect sense, since that's how they USUALLY act when put into those situations. With this one...okay, admittedly, I like Twilight x Celestia. But, I just don't think Celly would be THAT blunt with it. It...it just doesn't seem genuine. As true as what Celestia might say, it just seemed out-of-character. So, don't really like this part.
(You are a good writer, though. You make me happy with your good grammar and spelling.

To everyone who says that Twilight has more powers than a normal unicorn/ is older in your headcanon...
It's true, she is the most powerful unicorn in Equestria. And maybe she is intended by the writers to be 24 years old or something, but that's not really the point. She could be more powerful than Celestia herself and it still wouldn't change her age or mortality.
>>600541 true that, but one supposes that being alone for all eternity would be pretty sad and, well, lonely.
Certainly falling in love and seeing him/her die, and having that happening over and over again is no fun, but not allowing yourself to be close to anyone for fear they'll leave just doesn't cut it...
I think Celestia's reasons for rejecting Twilight are these...
1. She's immortal, others are not. They will age and die. Then she would be alone and heartbroken.
2. She does have feelings for Twilight, but cannot act upon them. See reason 1. She is afraid.
3. She tried it once with another pony. Old age, death, sorrow happened. She does not want to put herself through that again, not even for Twilight now. It hurts too much, really.
All very good reasons for avoiding relationships.

Going to re-read that all in Pinkie Pie's voice now, if that's okay with you.
nnnggghhhh!! But I looove twilight and celestia! Dont take away my happiness!!!
Ok.... that was very blunt, truthful, and to the point. Not to mention, it ripped a vent in my fantasies of happiness, but.... it was good. Amazing, in fact. Thumbs up. I like Twilight and Luna or Twilight and RD better anyway

All the myriad arguments against Twilestia, and you picked the age difference? Dude, that's the weakest one!
And the alternative is to run the risk of outliving the one you love anyway and having only the promise that you will die and no longer hurt?
Immortality guarantees you'll outlive your lovers, but it also guarantees hope. Better love lost than never had, and better to live to love another day.
Better to live with the sorrow of loss but the joy of having loved, than the sorrow of loss and the regret of never braving to seize what could have been.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hob_Gadling
"Twilight, I'm four thousand years old, immortal, and a goddess princess, and you are a normal unicorn who is, like, seventeen. You can't date me."
So... despite being four thousand years too old for modern sensibilities, a monarch, and a Sun (and thus harvest and thus fertility) goddess, Celestia leaves a seventeen-year old willing mare she likes untouched... why exactly? 
Based on your own argument, and all of human history and myth, Twilight would be so 
I don't really agree with this. Celestia wouldn't be so rude about it, nor so blunt. And Twilight is extremely persistent, so she'd probably try and make Celestia like her some way or another. Not butthurt here, just pointing out a few things. I like it, since it's funny, but it's not as well-done as the first.
A life of repeatedly suffering loss of a sort which one already deals with fairly regularly, or of never experiencing what is apparently one of the biggest pleasures in life through several millenias' repression? I like how so many people know what it's like to experience something which is entirely outside of human reality. 
Anyways, can't see it working out this way. It went wrong when Twilight Sparkle discovered having "true feelings" for Celestia. 
"Twilight, I'm four thousand years old, immortal, and a goddess princess, and you are a normal unicorn who is, like, seventeen. You can't date me."
So they must be immortal goddess princesses with a couple thousand years under their belt to be eligible? The only ponies that fit that is Princess Luna, her sister, and Princess Cadence who's married, just recently achieved full growth and it's not really know if she's a goddess princess either. So either Celestia is using some pretty bad logic here or she's into princest.
You are truly one who expresses the reality of the series and its characters. You are not just some fan who says any pair could ship, no. You are someone who knows, actually KNOWS the characters, and professionally gives the corresponding scenario according to your knowledge.
out of five
Twilight: I love you, omg, would you go out with me?
Celestia: *blink blink* ....Seriously, Twilight, I don't need this right now. I just found out what "pedobear" is....Oh god! You're just the right size compared to me too...*nearly vomits* ...I need to go! *runs away to look for somewhere to puke*
... What?
