It had already been a few weeks since Celestia had been dubbed the Princess of Equestria. As shocked as she was to be a princess, Celestia was even more shocked to see wings sprout out of her back. They were a gorgeous white that almost seemed to shimmer. Celestia was ecstatic. She attempted to fly right then and there at her coronation, but ended up falling on her face. The ponies of Equestria, including Lord Orion and Queen Solis, were concerned for the filly, but their worries quickly dissipated once Celestia stood up and proceeded to hop around in excitement.

Since then, the little princess had attempted to fly countless times, but each resorted in her falling to the ground. She just couldn't seem to grasp the concept of flying. It had come to the point where Solis had offered to train her, and the filly enthusiastically agreed.


"Like this, Celestia," Solis instructed as she began flapping her wings at a gentle pace and began to hover above the ground.

Celestia watched her mother intently before looking at her new alicorn wings. She scrunched up her face, then flapped her wings as quickly as possible.

Solis watched her and chuckled fondly before getting back to her hooves and trotting over to her daughter. "No no, Tia," she said, stopping the princess' wings, "You need to flap slower than that, or else you won't get any wind under your wings."

Celestia nodded, then gently began to flap her wings again. She started off slowly, and gradually flapped them faster and faster while still keeping a swift motion. Finally, she felt her hooves lift off of the ground, and she began to hover very slightly. Celestia looked down and gasped, a wide smile forming on her face.

"Mama!" She cried in excitement, "Lookit me! I'm doing it! I'm--" Suddenly, Celestia crashed to the ground once more.

Solis quickly checked on her daughter, then helped her stand with a giggle, "You need to concentrate while you're flying, Celestia. Once you're a more experienced flyer, you can learn to multitask. But, for now, you must learn to concentrate on simply flapping those wings."

Celestia looked up at her mother with a bright smile. She may not have gotten far, but she did it! She flew! Well, she at least got off of the ground. Either way, she was proud of herself.


After quite a few lessons on flying from her mother, Celestia had eventually gotten the hang of flying. So far, she was at the point where she could barely reach the tops of trees. However, Celestia was never disappointed when she fell. In fact, she was ecstatic to be able to fly at all.

After a few more weeks, Celestia had been woken up by the sound of her mother screaming. She rushed into her parents' bedroom and saw Lord Orion clutching Solis' hoof. The queen yelled in agony, holding her plump stomach and wings flapping in distress.

"Celestia," Orion hastily addressed his daughter once he spotted her in the doorway, "Hurry! Go get the royal nurse!"

In a fit of panic, the little alicorn nodded and rushed out of the room, beginning to flap her wings and flying fast like a bullet. She made it outside, and the royal guards were alarmed at her distress. As Celestia found the royal nurse, the guards hurried into the king and queen's room. 


It was an hour later when Celestia was waiting outside her parents' bedroom, curled up in a ball and quietly crying. One of the royal guards was trying to comfort her, but his attempts were in vain.

Finally, the door to the bedroom opened, and the royal nurse walked out with a wide smile on her face. Celestia looked up and sniffled, confused at the nurse's smile. When she gestured for the filly to enter the room, she did so, and she was shocked at the sight.

On the bed lay Queen Solis, the blanket draped over her body and something small cradled in her arms. Her exhausted face bore a content smile as she stared down at the thing she was holding. 

As Celestia stepped closer, she gasped when she saw her mother was holding a little foal. The foal was a dark blue, just like Lord Orion, with a lighter blue mane and tail. When she shifted her head, Celestia could see the foal was a unicorn.

"Tia," Queen Solis cooed to her alicorn daughter, "Say hello to your baby sister. Luna."

Celestia stepped even closer and peered at Luna's face. The dark foal's eyes were closed, and she seemed to be resting. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, and Celestia saw her eyes were blue, just like the rest of her.

"Luna..." Celestia breathed, and Luna blinked before growing a small smile on her face. This made the pink maned alicorn giggle in return and she nuzzled her sister's muzzle with her own.
