Georg's Moment with the Sun (Estee's "Daily Equestria Life with Monster Girl")

Celestia heaved a deep sigh and turned to her sister. "Do you mind if I show her? She is our Guard, and I'll make certain to return them to their proper place when we're done."

"But they always get so... drooley? Very well," said Luna with a short huff. "I'll make an exception this one time."

"Luna's such a dear," said Celestia into Cerea's ear. "Hold onto your inner ear for a moment. This can be disconcerting the first few times."

The world turned inside-sideways and about four brisk steps to the left, and by the time Cerea's eyes cleared, all she could see was stars.

All she could see were stars. In every direction. Except for Celestia, who was vaguely star-like herself.

"This will only take a moment, and I needed this time anyway," said Celestia as she used her magic to pry loose one of the glittering stars next to them, which looked about the size of a soccer ball once it was hovering beside her. "I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to visit. Come here, boy! Come on! Fetch!"

A golden ball of fur and light bounded in their direction in a way that made Cerea think of a golden retriever, if made out of real gold and pure light. It circled once around Celestia with happy bounds, then bolted off into the distance when the tall alicorn gave the star a brisk toss.

"We can't do this for long," admitted Celestia. "The astronomers get upset and Twilight writes me all kinds of letters. But Sunny loves our playtime so much. Did you want to give it a toss?" she added as the golden creature bounded back in their direction with the star in its 'mouth.'

"Urk!" said Cerea.
