Smarty Pants
Twilight Sparkle sat on her haunches with a mostly empty saddle bag beside her. At first she had packed it until it almost burst from all of her magic books, but realized while struggling to zip it up that in all likeliness, Princess Celestia’s library probably had a copy of every one of them plus ones which Twilight had only dreamed of laying her hooves on. So with a small sigh, she had painstakingly reshelved every single one of them in perfect alphabetical order.
She had finished the normally enjoyable chore several minutes ago and since then had simply sat looking around the room that had been hers for her whole life. She wiped her eyes with her fetlock and sniffled. She hadn’t even realised she had started crying till then. The reality was hitting her now though. Tomorrow morning after breakfast her mommy and daddy would be taking her to the palace where she would be living from now on.
Twilight wiped at her eyes angrily. This is no time to cry! My greatest dream is about to come true! She sniffled once more before her ear twitched at the sound of a quiet knock on her door.
“Twily? Are you awake?”
Twilight wiped at her eyes one final time before she trotted over and opened the door with a pulse of magic to reveal a tall white unicorn colt a dark blue mane falling into his eyes. As he smiled down at Twilight, she noticed his horn was glowing.
“BBBFF!” Twilight beamed before nuzzling against his foreleg. If there was anypony who could get her out of the slump she was in, it was her big brother best friend forever Shining Armor.
Shining Armor wrapped a foreleg around Twilight, giving her a bit of a noogie. “I’m glad you aren’t asleep yet, I have something for you! Been working on it since you got your cutie mark… mind you Cadance did help… A bit.”
Twilight wiggled out of the embrace and smoothed out her mane before cocking her head. “A present? For me?!”
Shining Armor laughed and from behind his back floated out a small brown pony doll with big button eyes and polka-dotted shorts. He gently set it on the ground in front of Twilight “Here you are Twily! A new study buddy just for you! She even has a notebook and quill so she can do homework with you!” He set the two small objects next to the doll. “Her name is Smarty Pants.” He sat down trying not to wince as he moved his injured forehooves recalling Cadance tsking as she once again treated his knicks due to him repeatedly stabbing himself with the sharp needle.
Twilight circled the doll a few times looking her over and Shining Armor swallowed hard Oh no, what if she doesn’t like it? I worked so hard on it and I don’t have anything else for her…
“Shiny?” Twilight asked finally looking up at her stoic big brother.
Shining Armor licked his lips before glancing down at her, a single bead of sweat forming on his brow “Yes Twily?”
“Did…. are you sure she’s made for me?” Twilight asked while pawing at the floor a bit nervously.
“Of course she is Twily! She’s made just for you so that when you are lonely and I’m not there, you’ll have somepony to talk to.” Shining Armor gave her a nuzzle and grinned as she wrapped her little hooves around his face and nuzzled his cheek.
“Thank you so much Shiny! I love her so much!” She picked Smartypants up in her forelegs and hugged her tightly.
Somehow she wasn’t so worried about leaving home anymore.

*Opens first installment*
...Hnng! Cuteness! Too much cuteness!
*Dies*
For a comment to give you a possible idea? Twilight gets a case of the sniffles, and Celestia refuses to just leave her to the castle doctors.
I mighta missed it in the previous story but I wonder what's happened with Spike by this time.
Slumber party!
...in which no other fillies show up, so Twily sneaks into Celestia's bed.
6011086
Hes still a newborn but we will see little Spike ^^
Twilight gets all dirty, and Princess Celestia has to make her take a bath. Only problem is, Twilight hates baths!
Or, alternatively, it's Twilight's birthday, and Princess Celestia is searching for just the right gift to get her faithful student.
What was it that Cadence asked him?
6011118 Probably how he managed to stab himself so much.
Twilight!
Huh, I missed this. Will definitely be reading once I finish the chapter I'm editing but wanted to say this before I forget;
This is rather misleading since it implies a story that's plot and events are controlled by reader responses as opposed to what you seem to be meaning, a series of short stories of isolated events with the comments open to suggested event prompts.
...
Yes this is a minor thing most people wouldn't even consider much less comment on but... I actually don't read comment driven stories. I find the idea fundamentally flawed and the one time I tried I was proven right. It was awful. A complete incoherent mess. I mean really, trying to build a real story without any structure just throwing together random and even conflicting ideas from readers?
Yeah, nobody can do that. And yes the one I read was that bad. It has left me with a pet peeve about that and I'm sure I'm not the only one... there has got to be a least a couple others, right?
6011181 Well, I think this one could work a lot better. It's a collection of short stories involving something that everyone wants to see. Filly Twilight being adorable, and Princess Celestia spending time with her.
6011181
Its more like if you have an idea you'd like to see comment with it and I might write it ^^
6011191 Oh yeah, that's the impression I got as well. I was just pointing out that that line was misleading and might scare some readers away... then I got a little ranty about a pet peeve.
6011195 Yeah, like I said
A story of vignettes if you will. With the consideration of ideas in the comments. Less "comment driven story" and more "author is open to suggestions". Which would actually work.
6011118
6011133
It was supposed to be tsked, I fixed it.
6011236
^^ Fixed it thanks for the warning!
from
6011319
fixed ^^ TY
That was cute. I think it would be interesting if Twilight had in fact been in the same vicinity as one of her future friends, but neither of them interacted with each other. Something like Rarity's parents taking her to see Canterlot for first time after she had worn them down with insistent pleading or the Apples selling their wares in the open market at Canterlot (which might have been a factor in Celestia deciding Sweet Apple Acres would cater). Twilight of course doesn't see them at all, she might hear their younger selves, but for one reason or another she never actually sees them or interacts with them.
The adorableness... of this, chapter... too... strong... (dies of heart failure)
I was going to say the 'head stuck in a cookie jar' bit but, while adorable, it's a bit over done. Then it hit me! So after I threw the damn fan across the room, the blasted thing is always falling on my damn head, I thought of something else to suggest! Twilight sneaks into the library for extra books and the ladder falls, leaving her stranded on a bookshelf until Celestia comes looking for her. It's like the cookie jar thing but for eggheads!!
Cadance and her getting up to no good and Tia catching them and then joining in. Possibly pulling a prank on Shining Armor,
6011255
Ah, makes perfect sense now. Darn that auto-correct.
Twilight has the hiccups, which rather ruins their game of Hide and Seek.
Fluffy little stories. Now that's what I love to read.
Let's follow this story to see where it goes.
Commence read.
A nice parting gift.
Is so... adorable! I... I can't take it—HHHNNNNGGGGHHHHH!
Well you get the slow clap. These first two installments were lovely. I'm gonna keep a close eye on this one.
As for comment suggestions... well I got two. Twi could play hide and seek with Smartypants. Smartypants would be 'It' so Twilight ends up hiding with no one but her inanimate doll looking for her, at least as part of the game.
Or adorable Twilight bath time and rubber ducky could be fun. Not necessarily a rubber duck, because I'm sure Celestia has plenty of toy boats and plastic whales to choose from.
Regardless, I'll see you at the next chapter.
Little Twilight gets the idea that the next day is the princesses birthday (and maybe it is, who knows?), so she gets up early and invades the kitchen to make the princess a special birthday tea. It is served during their shared breakfast. It's also highly disgusting (and maybe toxic), but Celestia doesn't want Twilight to know it and tries to dispose of the brew without Twilight noticing.
This looks adorable. I can't wait to start on it. Lately I have been finding just the greatest fanfics that line up to the episodes which is what I like a lot.
Celestia having her other student Sunset Shimmer tutor Twilight.
are you trying to make me cry to death with emotional feel?
6012812 Uh, that would be impossible. Although Twilight was a filly when Sunset Shimmer was Celestia's student, she did not have her cutie mark. By the time she did, Sunset Shimmer had already left for the mirror world.
This is adorable!
And I second Celestia going all 'nurse Twilight back to health' mode...and proving to be completely incompetent when it comes to doing so! XD
IDEA! Twilight Sparkle vs the flu!
Now hear me out. When Twilight sneezes, she uses magic. Firing off beams, throwing what ever she has in her levitation spell, and doing what ever cutesy thing you can think off. Like Telephoning into Celestia's cake or something.
Twilight Sparkle overhears a conversation and misunderstands absolutely everything about it, giving her a phobia of disappointing Celestia.
6013577 This, just this. It's perfect.
Here's a rather heart warming idea that I'm sure has been used before.
Twilight's still new to the castle, and has a nightmare. She goes to Celestia for comfort, and Celestia takes comfort from her own nightmares of Nightmare in Twilight... in the twilight.
That sentence is horrible and I couldn't help it, I had to make it worse.
6013672 The nightmare story has been done before, but I'm sure it could be done here if it's done well.
6013720 I know. That's why I said "I'm sure."
I had meant it not as a supposition, but as an absolute. And it's always an adorable and heart warming little tale, and I'd like to see how Foal's Errand tells it.
Hopefully, well.
We want baby Spike!
The School for Celestias Gifted has a special tour. . . .
6014050
Reviews or pms which ever is easier ^^
Upvoting now in hopes of the promise of Filly Twi and Lil' Spike cuddling/adventures together, maybe?
6014579
Don't worry ^^ baby Spike and Twilight chaps are planned!
6014607 Twilight has a nightmare and runs around for her mom accidentally running into Celestia
Twilight meets Prince Blueblood for the first time.
Great, now the other option. NOW
6015824 Bonus points if Spike breaths fire on his face.
Twilight takes a self-guided tour of the castle and comes across the barracks. There she can meet multiple guards and possibly add some recurring characters in these small tales with their own relationships and arcs to this series.
6017079 Maybe even include an appearance from Shining Armor.
