Celestia's Twilight

by Foals Errand


Twilight's Surge

Celestia, or as she was now known, Breaking Dawn, stared at the coffee maker. Her chin rested on the kitchen table as she prayed desperately to any deity which might be listening. Please let me get some coffee into my system.

She glanced down the hall towards their shared bedroom, where her niece was still thankfully fitfully asleep.

"Ugh, if I had to pick just one thing I miss about being Princess Celestia, It'd have to be having a cup of coffee waiting for me once I rose the sun." She continued to stare as the precious liquid slowly dripped into the pot. Buck it, that's enough for a cup Quickly, she poured what was in her pot into her awaiting mug adding cream and sugar before replacing the coffee pot. She frowned at the drip of coffee on her white counters but found herself unable to really care enough to clean it up.

"Meh…" She switched on the TV as she sipped her coffee more polls from the upcoming election; it honestly appeared as if it would come down to a few votes. Celestia dreaded what she knew was yet to come yet could not devise a way to protect Equestria from the coming storms.

"W-wah!"

Right on schedule Celestia thought to herself as Twilight's cries filtered out from the baby monitor. She took another large gulp of coffee before heading back to the single bedroom to see Twilight sat up, wailing her forelegs stretching to be lifted up.

"Yes, yes, Twilight. Auntie Tia is here. Hush now, my sweet filly." Celestia gently levitated her close enough to nuzzle her cheek before she made a nasty face. "Oof, I still wonder if I got all the nightmare out of you. There is no way a normal little filly could produce such an odor."

Twilight giggled as she booped her Aunt's muzzle sighing in relief as she was changed into a new diaper. As she suckled on her hoof, she reached for her dolly with her other hoof cooing as the toy magically flew into her forelegs "Gah!"

"That's right, Twilight, that's your Smarty Pants, huh? And you'll be a Smarty Pants too! Just like your Mommy!" Celestia shook her head in remembrance of her brilliant baby sister. She was, however, drawn out of the memory by the sound of an Ursa Major's growling. She blinked as she heard it again before she laughed.

"Well, it seems both of our tummies are demanding breakfast, aren't they?" Celestia cooed to Twilight, who licked her lips at the mention of breakfast.


Celestia just stared in shock at the mess Twilight had made from just a single jar of baby food. Twilight was happily licking the applesauce off her hooves, making happy burbles. Celestia simply shook her head and levitated a wet washcloth towards Twilight to clean her face. She was not, however, expecting Twilight's magic to surge, sending the table straight up.

"Uh! Uh!" Twilight howled while Celestia was forced to hold her face still with magic and wash her face with her hooves.

After much ear-blasting cries from Twilight, the chore was finally done. Celestia had finally sighed in relief before the doorbell rang Oh no…. Immediately, Celestia's mind went to the worst-case scenario. Somehow, they had been tracked down by the court of Unicorns had taken back over the sun and moon. They must have felt Twilight's magic flare! Subconsciously, she grabbed a broom in her magic as she slowly walked to the front door before slowly opening it. Depending on how many unicorns are here, I know I can hit at least five horns giving Twilight and myself time to ru—

A single unicorn stood at the door wearing a tasteful suit. He smiled pleasantly at the silver mare. "Morning, Ma'am, we just got an alert that your infant had a pretty radical flare of magic. Sometimes this can happen when a mother or her foal are just stressed." He glanced around the mare to see the mess of the apartment that the little one's flare had caused.

"Er, yes… my apologies Twilight and I just moved out on our own. I uh didn't mean to activate any alerts…."

"It's not a problem. I'll just make sure to mark the fact that your apartment houses a strong magical foal. Actually, the reason I'm here is to offer the help of our Accidental Magic Reversal Squad. They'll put everything back to normal and clean up while you and the foal go for a nice walk."

Celestia hesitated probably a few seconds longer than the normal mare would before finally nodding her assent. They'll likely place bugs around the apartment, but jokes on them, I'll be able to use them to spy on them, not the other way around. "Yes, that would be wonderful! It's so totally hard to care for such a super-powered filly!" Celestia groaned to herself Of course, my disguise makes me look young. Someday I'm going to have to tell Luna about this, and she's going to laugh her tail off at me.

"Great! The Squad will be here in five minutes. Might want to grab a jacket; it's a bit chilly out." With that, the soft-voiced unicorn turned and headed down the hall.

Celestia watched for a few more seconds before releasing a held breath and closing the door. "Alright, Twilight, let's go to the park so the silly unicorns can try to bug our apartment." She smiled as Twilight burbled in contentment as Celestia levitated her into her stroller Smarty Pants still held to her chest.
