The trivial duties of a princess are plentiful this year, and it has left Princess Celestia with only one option.
Thanks for reading! I didn't have this edited by anyone other than myself, so if you see anything, feel free to leave a comment on it. Normally, I wrote this for a small, friendly, little contest, but I wanted to let others read it as well.
Nice story premise. I though Luna was going to launch into a tirade about Celestia not giving Twilight a gift or how her magic counteracts a time spell.
Once again, Celestia's Xantos Gambits work out perfectly. Hay, she even had predicted Twilight's protection wards, hadn't she?
1886545 Well, I guess she is an all powerful goddess in some sorts.
1880795 I actually wanted to have this at least 2x or 3x as long, but it was for the contest. I guess I probably would've covered that along with some other things I wanted if I had the time. I had a week for the darn thing, but I didn't find the prompt until 2 days from the deadline.
If anyone would like to see what I was going up against, I'm pretty sure I got smashed, please check out And a Princess in a Pear Tree by TheBandBrony.
