Celestia's hospital room was inconceivably peaceful, the sterile whiteness given an air of life from the warm sunlight and gentle breeze streaming in through an open window beside the bed. Celestia herself seemed to be in a deep and pleasant sleep, however, the amount of drips attached to her body could suggest otherwise. A nurse, the only other pony in the room, sat observing from a chair next to the door, occasionally making notes on a clipboard clutched in her hooves. However peaceful the room was, inside the princesses head, it was a different story.
Standing inside a realm of blinding whiteness, Celestia screamed with all her voice, hurling obscenities at nopony in particular. Suddenly, from behind her, there came a sinister chuckling. Stunned into silence, Celestia turned to find a shadowy figure without a consistent form, from where it had come, she did not know. For the last several hours she had been raging in this featureless place alone, and this figure had not approached from anywhere, she was sure of that. One moment she was alone, and now she wasn't, it was as simple as that. And that fact scared her.
"Who are you?!" She demanded, "Where have you come from?!"
The figure ignored her questions and just continued to laugh manically.
"Do you know who I am?!" There was a threatening tint to Celestia's voice.
"do you know who I am?" The figure mimicked mockingly
Celestia's eyes went wide, and her mouth turned into a snarl, she entered a braced stance and lowered her head, presenting her horn to the shadowy intruder. "You dare mock me?!"
"You dare mock me?" the figure mimicked again.
Celestia snarled, and soon her horn began to glow, a sphere of energy collecting at its tip.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you." The figure warned.
"And why should I not?" She barked in retort.
The figured sighed, "You really are a stupid Alicorn aren't you? Where do you think you are?"
Celestia's resolve faltered for a second, her magic flickering briefly before solidifying again. "I'm not sure, but you seem to be rather full of yourself, so why not enlighten me?"
The figure appeared to face palm before snorting in contempt. "Are you really that blind? Use your brain, where were you and what were you doing before you got here."
The princess screwed her eyes, "I... I was being tended to by the medics. I had just fallen from my balcony."
"Exactly, so where do you think you are?"
"My head!" Celestia exclaimed, almost jumping and quickly losing control of her magic.
"Give the girl a medal! Seriously, for being princess of the sun, you're not that illuminated on the facts!"
"Wait a second," the princess held up a hoof. "If we're in my head, who, or should I say what, are you?"
The figure moved in front of her, its form starting to solidify. "I guess you could call me your spirit guide, or mentor if you wish. It doesn't really matter what I am, it only matters that I'm here in the first place. Clearly somewhere in that ancient, clogged up brain of yours, you think you need me, and here I am."
"So why do I need you?"
"No idea, but we have until you wake up to find out, so I can imagine with that fall we have a while. But before we start, can I say something?"
"What?" Asked Celestia unenthusiastically.
"Give me a form already."
"Huh? it's not my fault that you're a shadowy figure."
"Of course it is, this is your head after all."
Celestia rolled her eyes, "Sorry Mum!" She said sarcastically. A second later she got the shock of her life as suddenly the shadowy figure shifted and solidified, taking form.
The figure looked down at her new form and then at the princess's face, the sheer horror portrayed in the rulers face gave caused a smile to cross her face. "Looks like this is going to be fun."
He.. lives...!!!
It's...not dead? I SWEAR THIS THING DIED AGES AGO, LIKE THE DODO BIRD!
3898337 I can't let this die

Thought it died.
It lives.
OMG, those moments where the patient has their angel of guidance talk it out... And is not looking like House. This will not end well.
3898468 when you say not end well...?
3898528
A challenge comes in and some bad luck towards House, just for a bit which will help him find the cure.
IT LIIIVESS!!
On a related note, I wonder who the sarcastic and wisecracking mentor of Celestia is. Sounds like him and House would get along nicely.
First thing that came to mind. Celestia's Inner Frat Boy. Oh boy, I hope this is the lesson she learns.
Staph dying, itz bad fur ya heath bar.
It is so good to see this fic alive.
A House fic? You have my attention! Loved that show
...
Omg House and ponies! I fucking love this! It has House! HOUSE!
3900139 ?
It's either House, Discord, Luna, or Nightmare Moon.
Yay! An update. I had forgotten this even existed. with how long ago that last update was.
I say it is Fausticorn.
3900254 !

New chapters out, and it's a cliffhanger.
I'm on the fence about this.
Well this is a cool story. a bit awkwardly related at times, but cool! I eagerly await more. And if you need an editor or proof or prereader, let me know! Have a great day!

Not much of a cliffhanger, the answer to who the figure becomes is in the chapter.
!EVILA S'TI
Dialogue is sometimes hard to follow, with few clear clues as to who is talking, especially when the conversation includes more than two participants, but it is an enjoyable read. When House sees Wilson Pony, it's going to be hilarious. :D
3908299
Thanks, will work on improving dialogue, so you excited for house and Wilson to meet? Gonna be soon.
3964178
Totally waiting for it. :D House is going to torment Wilson Pony, I can seeeeee it now.
3964887 hehe, I just wish I knew who to ship with who
3965853 HouseXTrollestia?
3970033 why would house date Celestia? Kind of need house to be a pony to date anyone. Unless I brought cuddy in lol
3971743 Nonono, Here you go, Wilson and Nurse Redheart. :D
3972578 ahh, I already have an idea for Wilson
3902669
Hey if you're still willing to proofread/edit, I have some next chapter progress if you don't mind.
3983343 I def am!
3991919 ?
IS IT THE JOKER?!
I like this story, but Celestia was acting like a little kid in this chapter. Se acted perfectly calm when House randomly shoewed up, but she freaks out and rages when she shows up in an unfamiliar place? wouldn't it make more sense for her to attempt some spells to probe her whereabouts, then sit and meditate on what is happening? I feel like she would have figured it out pretty fast considering her existing for thousands of years. She could be sitting quietly thinking until her thoughts are disturbed by this "spirit guide."
She just seems to brash and mindless here.
Sorry about the rant, just needed to get that out there.
4321391 I think it was mostly because she was inside her mind. There are no filters, so she says and reacts with the first thing that comes to mind, kind of like a dreamstate.
It takes an extreme level of boredom and sleep deprivation to put this story on my radar in the first place. The ennui needed to get through your grammatical catastrophes is similarly a force of great reckoning.
So it is from the most jaded of perspectives, and with only minimal awareness that I should probably find a better way to express this sentiment, that I must inform you that the scene wherein Celestia's subconscious insults her is dumb enough to earn you a downvote.
