    It's springtime in Equestria and Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia find themselves out of sorts despite the gorgeous weather. Luna and Rarity both think they know the reason behind their moodiness and set out to make sure that true love blossoms - but will an unfortunate misunderstanding keep the two star-crossed lovers apart forever?

    Pros: A fic referencing a classic play. Being the insufferably huge English Renaissance Drama dork that I am (Just look at "The Equestrian Resident" and "The Unsuitable") this is a big thing. Mega dork points for me :twistnerd: :twilightsmile: And, you have a following, so you're doing something right to be sure.

    Cons: A personal thing here- Really? Another Twilestia fic? Does Celestia really have nothing better to do than play out another creepy case of Wife Husbandry (She's been in a guardianship position over Twilight for years, this is not even a very not-creepy case of Wife Husbandry which actually can exist, because it feels more like a Jail Bait Wait than Wife Husbandry) with her student? Or is it another "powerful mentor/close guardian absorbing misplaced feelings of reverence and awe from a young charge" Twilight story? Not as creepy, but can be if Twilight goes all Fatal Attraction or Basic Instinct on her. So, is it tender-meat-sheparding, filly-hungry Celestia or bunny-boiling, hair-sniffing Twilight?

    “Oh, just leave that to me, Twilight!” said Pinkie Pie, clopping her forehooves together in excitement. “I’m completely competent at controlling any kind of crazy cantankerous contraption!”

    Unable to resist the stallion's overwhelming charm and physical attractiveness, Pinkie throws herself upon him and they engage in a night of passionate intercourse. She "awakens" the next morning to find that he's gone, but he's left her a note telling her that he's left to return to his quest to avenge the murder of his parents. He also reveals in the letter that he's half demon, and that there is an ancient prophecy saying that their child will either save the world or destroy it. Apparently he sought her out because he believed that she was the only mother who could instill such joy into her child's heart that he would be certain to make the right decision. Pinkie awakens (for real this time) in a cold sweat, but quickly realizes that it was all just a dream and returns to life as normal. Lately, though, she's been putting on a little weight, and wanting peanut butter and pickle sandwiches at the oddest hours...

    Happy now? :trollestia:

    It's about Celestia damned time! :pinkiehappy:

    However, I have a few complaints. Most notably, the chapter didn't feel at all like a next chapter in a Celestia/Twilight story. There was little to no romantic development on their part, but rather just a huge (and, I'm sorry to say, needlessly drawn-out) dinner party. I still like this story, I just hope the next chapter will be more Celestia/Twilighty.

    On a more technical note, there were a few awkward word choices here and there along with some grammar issues, such as "Princess's" instead of "Princess'". And, "hugely" might be a word, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sound really weird to use, "largely" probably would've been better, or rearranging the sentence to use "huge" instead of "hugely". Or "widely" or just don't use a size descriptor at all, "grinned" implies a large smile.

    Looking forward to the next chapter.  :twilightsmile:

    >>197708 In regards to Spike Pie (:pinkiesmile:x:moustache:) Butterscotch already did a clop of those two in "Heres to you Miss. Pinke Pie". Though as far as continuity goes, its independent of this one that continues off of the RariJack (:raritywink:x:ajsmug:) story that has a name reminescent of "Brokeback Mountain", Im blanking on the name. Everytime I see the description I think Brokeback Mountain because of this simple equation: Applejack(cowboy(girl)) + camping + mountain + gay romance blossiming during camping + post camp secret = Brokeback Mountain.

    Admittedly havent read the fic (sorry Butters, I'll resolve that soon) or watched the movie.

    Sorry for the wait, Thecrazyrabbidfangirl! :twilightsheepish: I'm a teacher by occupation, and the school year has just started here in Australia so things are pretty crazily busy.

    Glad to hear you're enjoying the story! It IS a rather talky part, and if I was given this story to edit I would have to say "Too much talky, not enough story progress-y!" and demand it be cut - but since I'm a writing fanfiction and am therefore free of the all-seeing critical eye of such an editor I'm afraid I can't resist luxuriating in some pure character-driven theatre. :derpytongue2:

    However! I must disagree with your opinion regarding the grammar 'issues'.

    First, using the apostrophe 's' after a plural may not be common, but it is used. I personally feel that the 's' adds much needed clarification - we do say something like "princessesez after all, so the 's' is doing a job representing a sound there.

    Second, the collocation of "grinned hugely" garners me 42,000 hits on google, while "grinned largely" produces 6,000. I think it's quite clear that the first is therefore the more natural expression, although I do take your point that "grinning" is tautological - but then, how do we describe one of the insanely large smiles that cartoon-characters are capable of? :pinkiehappy: I guess I could use the cliche "grinned ear to ear"!

    Thanks for reading! :raritystarry:
