Who embodies friendship more than Pinkie Pie? She's come such a long, long, way, long before Twilight finished that journey. But when it's time for her to become an alicorn, there's just one wrinkle...

"I already HAVE my destiny!"

:pinkiehappy: That was a great story! It's message is great one too, stay true to yourself (at lest that's what I got from it).

This is a great story and is connected to a question I've been tossing around for a while now. The concept was rife in the early days of the fandom, but, knowing what we know now, how would Celestia react to someone other than Twilight becoming the Element of Magic or an alicorn?

That aside, her reaction at Pinkie Pie being there was priceless and, let's face it, Pinkie as a princess would have been a nightmare.

But we already know that they're all going to become alicorns by Season 7!

Or maybe in the movie where they must battle Pony Darkseid who teams up with Pony Thanos (after DC and Marvel merge in 2016)...

:trollestia:

"Oh!" Pinkie brightened up. "Lots of magic in me? I can deal with that! No problem!"

Or we could... not give Pinkie more magic. Just a thought.

6642556 Thanks, and I'm glad that message got through!

6642649 No, I don't think she'd have been a nightmare, strictly speaking... though a lot of ponies might have thought her one. :pinkiecrazy:

What about all six as Princesses to balance out each other?

6644790 Myself, I really like that idea... in the long run, once everypony's matured. I think they're almost ready for it now, in Season Five. They weren't back in Season Two when this's set.

Of course, whether they'd want it even now is another question. I think season5!Rarity would be even less amenable to it than season2!Rarity; by now she's exchanged her dreams of marrying into high society for better dreams of working her way into it herself. And Pinkie, of course, would still give the same answer she did in this fic.

Personally, I think that's what makes them MORE worthy! We SAW what happens to those who want Alicornhood for Alicornhood's sake! Sunset Shimmer had to LET GO of her desire before being able to attain it.

Hm. A good fic, though I really expected Pinkie to reveal that she was already an alicorn. That would be a good explanation for many things :pinkiecrazy:
Hillarious anyway :pinkiesmile:

A nice read, so what would work for twilight and help her do whats shes been doing with friendship and magic wouldn't mesh very well with pinkies style of friendship.

I enjoyed it but it felt really fast going through the discussion between pinkie and the princesses. That said, I'm not sure Pinkie would need to talk about anything else, She knows what she wants to do.

Weirdly, the story didn't grab me as much as I wanted it too.

6645272 Nah, I don't think even an alicorn can do what Pinkie's done. She's something else completely...

6645281 Thanks for the read, and the comment. Yes, Pinkie has her own style of friendship, and she knows exactly what she wants once she has just a moment to think about it!

6644877 I'll probably have something more to say later when I have time, but in brief, I think I agree. Like Aslan says to Prince Caspian right before his coronation, "If you thought you were worthy, it would be a sign you were not." Twilight didn't have the least idea what was happening until she spread her wings the first time. But just the same, would you force alicornhood on an unwilling Pinkie or Rarity or Applejack?

6645729

How willing did you think Twilight was?

6645963 Twilight didn't have the least idea what was going on at first, but when her friends pointed out her wings afterwards, she seemed to be willing even if very much taken aback. "Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria," she said in her coronation speech. Pinkie or s1!Fluttershy or s5!Rarity would have a very different reaction, I think.

6647336

Personally, Rarity's reactions come across more as denial and projection.

Pfft. Please. She's Pinkie Pie. Alicornhood would be a downgrade.

In any case, if she did ascend, that would sunder the association between alicorn and ruler pretty quickly. Pinkie isn't the sort of person you'd want to put in charge of anything as dull as a nation. She can plan and organize, yes, but always towards the greater fun. Why Celestia even thought this was going to work, I don't know.

Well... for all we know, maybe that was exactly what Celestia was thinking! :pinkiecrazy: She's capable of devious plots, as we saw when she sent Twilight to Ponyville.

Or, maybe she's perfectly fine with part of government working "toward the greater fun!" as long as it's balanced out? After all, Laughter is an Element of Harmony...

Pinkie is impressed.:pinkiehappy:

And thats why twilight became a princess instead.

Any chance of a sequel?

9970001 I'm afraid not. After this story, things are going to stay essentially the same as canon. Maybe something could happen when Celestia tells Twilight about what happened, but I'm afraid I haven't had any ideas there.

I am writing a couple new unrelated stories, though, so feel free to keep an eye out!
