It all started with a glance at her dream stallion-a clueless Big Mac. At first it was just glimpses. Blurs of what felt like memories that didn't belong to her. Then they became more frequent, longer, and when she began seeing the evil Queen Chrysalis, things started to take a twist for the worse. Now Tealove has been made a member of Equestria's secret society, Celestia's Clandestine, full of ordinary ponies like her who had turned out to be Children of the Sky, ponies destined to save Equestria with their powers that excelled that of an alicorn's. Then Tealove's life turns upside down in a mix of uncovering secrets from her past, stopping the rebel society, the Brokes, from overthrowing Celestia, breaking into the Embassy, finding true friends and possible love all while struggling to fulfill her high expectations as the Clandestine's newest Covert Agent.

Many people have pointed out that Aria Blaze and Starlight Glimmer share very similar appearances, but what if they truly are the same. How did Aria Blaze, a siren in the Dazzlings, become Starlight Glimmer, a pony who has gained the ability to take one's cutie mark away? Just wait and see...

Fame. Esteem. Royalty. All things Rarity dreamed about ever since she was a little filly. But when Twilight was granted the role of princess, Rarity has always wondered what Twilight's life was like.

Twilight had no dreams of becoming a princess, so when the role was thrust upon her, all she wanted was a break, a bit of time to live a normal life.

In the midst of an argument about these roles, Spike comes up with the idea for Twilight and Rarity to swap roles for a week. Twilight would take over the boutique, and Rarity would get the chance to live the life she's always dreamed about.

What could possibly go wrong?

Story adopted from cooopercrisp as of 15/09/2014. First two chapters are his originally.

This story is a sequel to Princess Celestia The Changeling Queen: Stories Behind the Mask

At the Royal Wedding, Chrysalis and the Changelings were revealed to all of Equestria.

But another mask was torn away that day. A mask born for a thousand years. A mask created on one promise. A mask, that has become synonymous, fused, to its bearer.

A mask that when ripped off, causes Twilight, her friends and Luna to question everything they ever knew about the one pony, one very important pony.

At the Royal Wedding, the meaning of the phrase 'Princess Celestia' changes forever.

NOTE: Chrysalis is NOT Celestia!!! That'd be impossible to pull off.
