"Your Majesty!" "Your highness!" "My princess!" "My Sweet Goddess!"

These are all titles that Celestia has heard her little ponies call her. They hold her in the highest esteem, praising her for every little complement she gives them, and they look for her approval above all else.

Even her student Twilight treats her very highly, although that could be chalked up to a mother/daughter relationship. In fact, the only ones that don't treat her as a high and mighty, so-far-above-from-the-world-you-would-not-understand ruler were those not under her, and her sister.

Yes, everypony worships the very ground she treads upon.

And she is sick and tired of it.

The picture here seemed to get the premise of the story right. yes, sue me, I picked a picture to fit with the story, not a story for the picture. Please give the artist your full appreciation!

Note: there will be NO Twiluna, Twilestia, or ANY other lesbian ponyXpony pairing in this story. There was a misconception, so I thought I had to clear that up.

Diseased. How dare they call me diseased!? I am surely cleaner than them! They continually speak of my changelings as rabid, ravenous animals! How dare they call them diseased! How dare they call me a creature infected by a pestilence!

...How dare they be right. How dare they know so much about me in a single glance...

Note: This is at least partially experimental, so don't count on super-regular updates (like none of my other stories). Also, This might be flame bait, but I do not appreciate personal slander, people calling the characters in the story "bitches", "dicks", etc, or any sort of distasteful riffing hidden behind the excuse of "I'm not hating, I'm just trying to make him think".

The princess has gone quiet. Ever since the nations began uniting under one flag, the princess has refused to see anypony, and nopony, not even Celestia's sister has seen heads or tails of the sun goddess.

She only wants to see her student.

Twilight ventures to the castle to see what exactly is the problem.

This whole thing was inspired by one little part in the cover picture. I don't know how many people agree with me, but she (Nightmare/Celestia) seems more concerned than anything else.

EDIT: I was planning on making this a one shot, but fate insists that I change that. No longer will this be a one shot, but a two-parter, I think. 5 comments. Holy shiznits, I must have done something right.
