Starlight Glimmer's First Student: A "Human"?!

by Clockwork2003


Chapter 12: Make Way...For Princess Starlight!

Today, I was quite intimate with Starlight Glimmer. The first time, we just kissed. The second time, we were on a cloud and she made me massage her wings, before giving me cloud cuddles and a back massage. The third time, we kissed, but with tongues, and she told me to touch her horn. Apparently, it’s a sensitive spot! Now I just lost my virginity…to a horse.

In all of the timelines, all of the parallel universes I would have imagined, losing my virginity to a sapient alicorn goddess was not on the list. I am actually surprised that I was even able to interact with a pony who is significantly taller than me, but we made it work. Regardless, I am a bit horrified at how much I enjoyed that interspecies lovemaking session. Humans don’t mate with other animals, but Starlight seems totally fine with the concept, in spite of what she said to Lyra and Bon Bon at lunch two days ago.

Regardless, Starlight was incredibly gentle with me, and we didn’t do anything that either of us felt was too uncomfortable. I respect that. I am trying to fall asleep, but Starlight keeps nuzzling my chest with affection. It’s great to have someone or somepony who cares about you, but it’s a bit annoying sometimes.

“You did well tonight, Noah. I am proud of you for how you handled dinner, and how you handled me. Alright, alright, no more sexy talk. I’ll rub your back so you can fall asleep.” She coos. I hear the sound of her horn lighting up, and I feel something giving me a deep tissue massage. I squirm around in our bed for a bit, but I realize it’s just massive magical pulses relaxing my tense muscles. I feel really relaxed, and I hear my marefriend giggle.

“If you squirm too much, you’ll sit on my wings by accident. I need those for our riding, silly!” Starlight jests, as I scoot back an inch further into my mare’s warm embrace. After another few minutes of that deep tissue massage, Starlight’s magic deactivates, and she puts her hooves around my shoulders and back.

“Nighty night, my lovely Noah. Sleep well, because tomorrow, I will become royalty!” She chuckles. I could have sworn I heard her mumble “how ironic” afterward, but I am not going to be one to judge that. This bed is heavenly, and having a cuddle buddy is a huge bonus! I need warmth and comfort! I just hope that tomorrow morning’s coronation will go swimmingly. I am happy when Starlight is happy, and she is happy being with me. Hey! Is she nibbling my ear! Not cool! I’ll let it slide. She could be doing it in her sleep. If something weird happens tomorrow, I pray for the both of us that we’ll be okay.

THE NEXT MORNING

I am woken up with a pillow thrown at my face point-blank. I think my magic could have at least alerted me to this playful behavior, even caught it before it hit my face; but no. Once the mulberry-colored pillow falls off my face, I see my lovely mare in a frenzy, trying to do two-hundred things at once, magic flowing all over the guest bedroom! 

She’s writing a list with one hoof, putting on a fancy outfit with her magic, brushing her beautiful mane with another hoof, and eating a granola bar with her magic. She’s doing this all at once! Ponies are crazy!

“Get up, Noah! It’s coronation day! Even if I don’t want to be royalty, I have a rider who I need to take care of, and teach Friendship Lessons to! Get up, get dressed, and put on something fancy! I think Rarity might even be coming over to make you a fancy suit! If you’re late, I won’t be able to give you a lift! You also need to come up with something cool to say! I have a speech all ready, but you need one, too!” Starlight says with a hint of urgency.

I needed to write something! Oh no! Why didn’t anypony tell me that before! I’ll deal with it later. I quickly get out of bed and rummage through my backpack, trying to find the somewhat formal outfit that I packed. Finally pulling it out, I lay it on my bed and rush to put it on.

“Starlight, what time is it?” I ask my marefriend, whose horn lights up, projecting the time onto the wall: 

10:30 AM, CANTERLOT STANDARD TIME

Huh, Equestria has time zones? Is Ponyville a different time zone than Canterlot?

“Is Canterlot in a different time zone?” I ask Starlight, who quickly nods her head.

“One hour behind Ponyville. We flew west, didn’t we?” Starlight says rhetorically. I sigh and continue getting dressed. Once I am all set up in my relatively nice clothes that I would wear to a wedding or a fancy birthday party, I turn around to see what my marefriend looks like. She’s stunning! Starlight is wearing a light blue dress with lilac trimmings, and she even managed to put on her fancy horseshoes from last night, all by herself! I am glad she was able to do that.

“Where’s the crown?” I ask Starlight, who cracks a silly smile.

“I didn’t get crowned yet, silly! When I am declared the Princess of Justice, I will get my tiara. Until then, I just have my fancy outfit. Now, go write down something for breakfast in the journal before you saddle me up. We’re getting a royal pony-cade from the Wonderbolts!” Starlight says excitedly. 

I take a minute to remember where I could have placed the magical ordering notebook. We must have made a huge mess during our “extra credit Friendship Lesson” because I only see pillows and spread sheets on the bed! Carefully pulling back the sheets on our large bed, I spot the unicorn logo on top of the notebook, with the ballpoint pen attached to it. It takes me a few tries, but I use magic to gravitate the book towards me, and I pick it up. Carefully making my way to the desk in the room, I put the notebook down. I need to think about what I’d like to eat for breakfast. Something easy and something that I can eat on the go! I finally figured it out! I write down my order quickly.

1 Oats and Honey Granola Bar

1 Banana

1 Glass of Orange Juice

As soon as I finished writing everything down, I saw something long protrude out of the notebook, and it was a banana! The granola bar is the next thing to exit the enchanted notebook, falling on the side of the pages. I am curious as to how the orange juice is going to come out? I thought it would just pour out of the notebook into a glass that appears out of nowhere, but I was mistaken. It seems that even magic has limits! A small cardboard juice box of orange juice exits the notebook, with the label “Orange Family Grove” on it.

“Eat up, Noah; and make it snappy. Please don’t have crumbs on your fingers when you put my bridle on! I need to keep it clean!” Starlight pipes in from the other side of the suite. I promptly open my medicine bag and take out my three pills, and I swallow them with a swig of orange juice. I use my magic to peel the banana telekinetically, and I try to eat it quickly. I don’t want to keep anypony waiting! I don’t think eating a banana in ninety seconds is too slow, in my humble opinion!

By the time I finished my breakfast, I was feeling a bit nauseous. I don’t know if it is because I am nervous about my marefriend’s coronation, or because I ate too quickly. It could very well be because of both! I go over to the coat rack, and I grab Starlight’s saddle and bridle.

“You know the drill, Noah. Bridle me up, and I’ll deal with the rest.” Starlight says, trotting over towards me. She promptly opens her maw, and I place the metal bit in her mouth, safely securing it on her muzzle with the corresponding straps.

“I just need to go to the bathroom, and then I am ready to ride,” I tell Starlight, who is fumbling with her saddle. She usually doesn’t take this long to equip her riding gear, but she must be stressed! I go to the bathroom quickly and by the time I get out, I see Starlight trotting in place, eager to leave.

“Alright, climb on, and let’s roll! I know how to get to Canterlot Square, and I expect the other Princesses will be meeting us there. While you were in the bathroom, I got two UniPhone calls. One was from Trixie, who said that a Royal chariot picked her up in Ponyville. She’s en route to Canterlot as we speak. The second call was from Lyra. She can’t make it, but Bon Bon is on her way! I thought you’d be happy to hear that since both ponies were rather nice to you these past few days.” Starlight smiles, clearly pleased that my Friendship Lessons are going well. 

I open the door of the suite, and Starlight and I walk out, making our way to the regal podium next to the room. It’s a wide-open window, too! Starlight turns around, giving me ample space to climb aboard my mare. With one swift motion, I put my right foot into her stirrup and swoop the rest of my body atop her. Starlight casts a quick spell, placing her reins in my cold hands.

I remember that Starlight likes this faux command prompt dialogue. It is her coronation day, so I am more than happy to indulge her with this silly act. Starlight carefully trots backward a few paces, and awaits my “orders”. I know full well she can take off on her own, and she does, too! It’s really cute!

I clear my throat and gently tap Starlight’s neck with my left hand. “Princess of Justice. I am very pleased to be aboard Her Grace today for such an auspicious event. Nevertheless, we are on a tight schedule, and I beseech the regal mare to consider this.”

The two of us put on a playful grin. I try something new today. I do my usual gentle but firm stimulation of Starlight’s sides, but I also flick the bridle at the same time.

“Hyah, Starlight! Let’s show Equestria what a Princess of Justice can do with her rider. Giddy up!”

Starlight playfully raises her front hooves, like in a Western film, before galloping across the hall. She casts her “alicorn stats” spell, and her wings are anticipating the takeoff that is moments away. In these few brief moments atop my mount before takeoff, I feel excited, like a young boy riding a rollercoaster, moments before the drop.

“Noah, we’re hooves up in three…”

Starlight spreads her wings.

“Two…”

She tilts them upwards to gain lift for the takeoff. I feel my mount’s muscles contract in anticipation.

“One…”

I am feeling a bit bold, so I flick the bride one more time.

“Liftoff!”

Starlight’s supracoracoideus muscles contract and I feel the power of lift. Starlight jumps like a show horse out the window, but instead of landing, she flaps her regal wings and takes the two of us into the heavens!

“Aw yeah! This is fun!” I whoop for joy. This encourages Starlight to fly higher and higher. I could have sworn she has the biggest grin on her face. Imagine if horseback riding was this fun back on Earth! I sure hope that if we ever bring Rebecca to Equestria, she befriends a pegasus pony! She’d love this!

“Canterlot Square is a short flight, my lovely rider. Enjoy the sky while you can, because we have a boring speech to give soon!” Starlight says, leveling out at around 3,500 feet. Since this is a short flight, we don’t need to go high enough to use the jetstream. Looking around among the low-lying clouds, I try to spot any pegasi in the air. I remember Starlight saying something about an escort?

“Hey, Noah, the Wonderbolts are coming!” Starlight exclaims, pointing right below us, where four pegasi in jumpsuits are ascending to our altitude, and I could have sworn that Rainbow Dash was one of them. Two pegasi flank each of our sides, and they have a really cool entrail pattern coming out behind them!

“Hey, Glimmer, long time, no see.” Rainbow Dash says, giving my marefriend a hoof five, before going back to her escort role.

“Yeah, Dashie, long time, no see. Can’t you see I have an adorable human passenger to carry? I was going to talk to him about his speech.” Starlight says, flapping her wings just a wee bit faster, getting out of Rainbow Dash’s range to talk.

“What did you want to discuss, Starlight?” I ask Starlight, as I spot a few chariots being pulled by pegasi a few hundred feet beneath us. I take it Trixie and Bon Bon are in those? Maybe some other notable ponies? I don’t know, but I’ll find out soon enough.

“Nothing, I just wanted to do Friendship Lesson #4 with you before my coronation. Friendly Discourse and Debate. I know you are capitalist scum, so I wanted to hear what crazy ideas you have, so I can refute them!” She chuckles at the mere thought. 

I have to tread carefully. 3,500 feet is a long way down towards solid ground, and if I piss off my mount, I could get into serious trouble!

“Promise me that no matter who wins, I get secure passage to Canterlot Square?” I ask, half-joking.

“Well, duh! Even if I think your opinions are stupid and wrong, I still love you, and you are still my student. Nopony worth their bits would throw a rider off mid-flight, although I don’t know for sure, since you are the first human ever to have the privilege of riding atop an alicorn.” Starlight reassures me. 

It’s go time.

“Well, before I go into the nitty-gritty. You were the mayor of that equality commune, correct?” I ask Starlight, who nods.

“I was, Noah. I was elected democratically by my fellow ponies, and entrusted with the solemn task of governance.” Starlight says, clearly nostalgic about her time there.

“Okay, that’s good to know. Now, how did you live? Did everypony live in the same houses? Did everypony get the same allotment of currency? Did ponies pick their own jobs, or were they assigned by the state? Did you allow for dissent, or did everypony agree to your policy in lockstep!”

I can sense that my lovely mare is unsure of how to respond, which means I am beginning to close in on her!

“W…well, I did have a slightly nicer house, and-.”

Bingo. I got my lead.

“Uh-huh, Glimmy. Wouldn’t that be holding a blatant double standard? You had a Dacha when everypony else had a shantytown?”

My mare begins to sweat a bit. Aw, how cute!

“But I made sure nopony was mean to each other. If everypony lived in the same conditions, nopony could pick on other ponies due to socioeconomic status! I allowed for dissent, and I regularly held town halls on a weekly basis with my fellow ponies.”

Were they held at gunpoint? Nah, I am not going to ask her that. It’s food for thought, though!

“Okay, we’ll agree to disagree, Noah. Now, tell me what your brilliant plan for society would look like?!” Starlight jests, lifting her flank in the air for a moment, making my ride a bit bumpier! I know she’s being playful, but I wouldn’t threaten like that!

“Simple. Let people do what they want. Obviously, there are still laws and a government, but when it comes to economics or social policy, leave the state out of it!”

Starlight taps me on the shoulder with her wing, clearly concerned about something.

“But what about income inequality? What happens if the exchanges collapse? Does your “perfect world” have a fallout plan for an economic crisis? Is there a central bank? Is there a Securities Commission to prevent fraud and money laundering? What about-.”

“Hold your horses, my lovely mare. Income inequality has to exist because that ensures social progression. In an ideal system, the middle class would be the majority of the citizenry, and the upper and lower classes would be significant minorities. As for a central bank, currency-by-fiat is a horrible idea, because nopony can trust the government. You need something tangible to base your currency on, like gold, silver, heck, even raisins! The word of Celestia, or the word of whoever isn’t enough to ensure value in the currency. If a government can print as much money as it wants, then the money doesn’t have any intrinsic value! Of course, there would be a Securities Commission. A libertarian paradise needs some skeletal rules to adhere to! No tax fraud, no offshore accounts, no artificial inflation of stock prices. I have it all worked out!”

Starlight Glimmer doesn’t know how to respond. I bested her with simple facts!

“I…I don’t know what to say! Obviously, you are fudging your numbers to make your point seem appealing, and capitalism has never worked!”

Actually, communism and socialism have never worked, but whatever.

“There’s a disturbing correlation between those who adhere to leftist values, making everyone follow their dogma, while not doing so themselves. Back where I came from, all the people who advocated for this kind of stuff were middle-class citizens, who lived quite comfortably. When these kinds of governments were established, the leaders always lived a life of luxury, while their citizens suffered en masse! Stalin, Castro, Mao Tse-Tung, you name the dictator. They lived like kings, while their citizens were suffering. Now, obviously a lovely mare such as yourself wouldn’t be a dictator, and your society would be more harmonious, right?”

My mount’s once warm coat of fur turned ice cold. Her wings flapped much more automatically and without the vigor of previous rides. I must have really hit a nerve! I wasn’t trying to do that!

“N…Noah. You hit the nail right on the head, my lovely human. I was a dictator when I ran that village, and I didn’t tell you the whole story when we first met. I was the one who took away everypony’s cutie marks. I used a Staff of Sameness to make everypony equal, and my fellow ponies revolted once the “Mane 6” came to my village. I spent well over a year trying to get my revenge, and I even tried to rewrite time itself! I had a huge fight with Twilight in Cloudsdale, and if I hadn’t accepted her hoof in Friendship, my life would be a heck of a lot different now.”

Starlight starts to cry, and I don’t mean cry, I mean bawl. She is bawling her poor pony eyes out, and I am stunned and horrified. I was just trying to do the Friendship Lesson she recommended we do! I give my marefriend a hug, and she sighs.

“I was trying to do the right thing, Noah. I never wanted to hurt anypony, seriously. I know you weren’t trying to upset me with your rebuttal, and that’s why I am not mad at you. I just wanted to make Equestria a better place. It is a cruel taste of irony that the “Commie Pony” became an alicorn, becoming the one thing she swore to obsolesce. I hope having a rider will level me out a bit, do you think you can do that for me?” Starlight sniffles, as I warmly embrace the pony I am riding.

“Of course, Starlight. I am not a perfect specimen, either by any standards. I also did many things that I regret, and I am no less a human now because of it. Hell, I might be a better one, since I know what not to do now. I am sure you’ll be a good Princess of Justice because you’ve been a great friend to me.”

This comment seems to reassure Starlight, and our Wonderbolt “pony-cade” begins to descend, and Starlight follows suit. I see the plaza where my marefriend’s coronation will take place, and I see a sea of ponies.

“That’s a lot of ponies, Glimmy!” I point out, steering my mare towards a good landing spot beneath a tree.

“Indeed there are, Noah. Now, even though you are my Rider of Justice, I have a feeling I am going to give my speech first. Don’t dismount me until either I give you a signal or somepony else in the Royal Family. Got it?”

I nod, and the Wonderbolt “pony-cade” disbands since we are at our destination. With a few gentle flaps of her wings, Starlight lands beneath the tree and comes to a complete stop.

“Good girl, Glimmy. Your flying is really impressive, and I am honored to have the privilege of riding on your back.” I coo, patting my mare on the neck, as she takes a few deep breaths.

I see Rainbow Dash landing near us, and she takes off her getup and gallops towards the two of us.

“Woah, you really are a fast learner! Twilight took a week to learn how to fly, and she can’t even land sharp corners. You’re awesome! I think Twilight is in the chariot with Bon Bon. I am going to find my fellow Elements, but I wanted to wish you luck, GlimGlam. I think you’ll do great!”

She embraces Starlight with her wings, and Starlight reciprocates in turn.

“Thank you, Rainbow Dash. Is your friend Scootaloo here today?” Starlight asks, remembering to ask Dashie about her friends, too.

“I think so. Coronation days are national holidays, so Miss Cheerilee probably took everypony on a field trip to Canterlot. Don't stutter with your speech!” Dashie says, flying off to the massive crowd of ponies on the other side of the hill.

“Hold on to those reins, Noah. I’m going to gallop around and try to find Twilight.” Starlight says, going into a quick gallop while trying to maintain discretion. We ride around for a few minutes before I hear the whinnying of pegasi. Starlight and I turn around, and a massive golden chariot pulled by four pegasi stallions lands a few meters next to us. Quickly making our way towards it, I use my magic to open the door, and I see-.


“THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE SEES HER FRIEND!”

Well, not just Trixie, but Bon Bon, too! She gives me a gentle wave, and the two mares exit the chariot and thank the pegasi for the flight. They whinny in gratitude, before taking off once again. Wait, why do these ponies lack the ability of speech? Why are ponies pulling carriages for other ponies? I have so much to learn!

“Long time, no see, pony rider.” Bon Bon says with a grin.

“Heya, Bon Bon. Nice to see you. I’d take it you two have front row seats to my lovely mare’s coronation if you got V.I.P. service to Canterlot!

“And Noah would be correct!” A familiar shrill voice says, apparating into view.

“Climb off now, kid. You only need to be riding Glimmer here for the actual event. Stretch those legs of yours!” Twilight says, using a quick spell to lift me off Starlight, and putting me on the floor.

“I take it you slept well?” I ask Twilight. I have a feeling she would have responded, had Trixie not given Starlight and me a bear hug, or is it a “mare hug”?

“Trixie is all better now, Nurse Redheart used some fancy medicine to expedite the healing process, so Trixie pulled a few strings to see her friends!” The navy mare says, quite excited to see the two of us.

“Indeed she is. Poor Lyra had a doctor’s appointment today, so it’s just me!” Bon Bon says, beckoning Trixie to follow her. Trixie lets go of the two of us, and I carefully remove Starlight’s bridle, putting it into her saddlebag; which is hiding beneath her dress.

Twilight walks over to me and whispers something into my ear.

“I fixed the portal while you two were sleeping! Apparently, the problem had to do with Discord having a party, messing up the signals. It wasn’t String Theory at all! After your “girlfriend” gets crowned, you two are going to start up my School of Friendship, and Noah can be a student and a teacher! I already have delegates from the Kirin realm, the reformed Changelings, hippogriffs, dragons, and griffons! It’s nuts how much work I had to put into this.”

Wait just a moment. Did Twilight fix the portal?

“Where’s my sister? WHERE IS MY-.”

“Relax, Noah. Rebecca is fine. I need to do some final tuning, but the portal will be online by tomorrow. We can go get some more humans then. In the meantime, go enjoy yourself! Starlight would want you to!”

“Thanks a million, Twilight. Now, where do I need to take this handsome human to prepare for his speech?” Starlight asks her former teacher. She points to the center of the plaza, where a podium is being set up by two unicorn ponies, with Starlight’s cutie mark emblazoned on the front.

“Take him there. Celestia and I will be ready in ten minutes for the official “crowning”. Good luck, and I am so proud of you!” Twilight says, hugging my teacher, with a single tear exiting her mulberry eye.

“Thanks, Twilight. I wouldn’t be here without you.”

Trixie turns around and looks at me.

“Trixie has a question. Will she get a pet human of her own, too? Starlight looks like she’s having fun with you up there, and Trixie wants a passenger, too! She’d ask you, but it doesn’t seem right.”

Bon Bon chuckles at Trixie’s comment.

“The showpony has a point. I am also interested in having a human “rider”. It looks fun, but since you and Starlight are so close, it would seem wrong to ask you.” She adds on.

“Are you two serious?” Twilight asks, as the five of us walk and trot through the maze of ponies towards the center of the plaza.

“Indeed, Trixie is always serious!” She chortles, as Bon Bon nods in affirmation.

“Well, I have a feeling that once Starlight is crowned, we’ll get a trial batch of humans to come and visit. Noah, do you object to the first set of humans being “neurodivergent”? Your data is remarkable, and it seems that your social mobility has exponentially improved, thanks to Pony Power!” Twilight asks me, as I nod eagerly.

“Frankly, it would be egregious if the first batch wasn’t neurodivergent children and young adults. We need friendship more than anyone, and humans aren’t willing to give it to us!” I say, finally making my way to the center of the plaza. Trixie gives me a hug, before saying “Take care of Glimmer, you cute human. Trixie knows you two are more than friends. She doesn’t object!” She says, sticking out her tongue at me. Bon Bon sighs, as she leads Trixie to the viewer’s gallery.

I hear the flapping of wings, and Celestia lands quite clumsily behind me and Starlight.

“Long time, no see. I am going to introduce you to everypony, Starlight. Get that human on your back now! We need to show the bond between human and pony! It’s good optics!” Celestia proclaims as I fumble through my pony paramour’s saddlebag, looking for the bridle.

“MARES AND GENTLECOLTS, HER ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS CELESTIA, AND HER ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS TWILIGHT!”

 A short trumpet fanfare plays seemingly out of nowhere, as the two alicorns make their way to the podium. Everypony present bows respectfully, before sitting down in their chairs. If there are really one hundred thousand ponies here, I can’t see the end of them! It’s mobbed! I finally equip Starlight with her bridle and mount her accordingly.

“Good afternoon, my little ponies! As my sun reaches its zenith, I am honored to welcome everypony here today for an auspicious occasion.” Celestia begins, “handing” the speech to Twilight. She clears her throat and begins to speak

“A few years ago, we were all here for a very similar purpose. I discovered a way to make Friendship tangible, and I earned these wings!” She flaps them for show, remaining in place.

“I became the Princess of Friendship, and Celestia and I have never been closer! I went on many adventures with my friends in the Elements of Harmony, and I even got my own castle in Ponyville! When I earned that castle, it came with a Cutie Map, which alerts me to this day about Friendship problems across this great land. My first Friendship problem was Starlight Glimmer.”

Starlight starts to trot ever so slowly, and I quickly grab the reins, not expecting to depart so soon.

“She used to be a mean pony, who made everypony live in fear and false equality.”

Starlight whispers to me “libelous mare!” before I gently pull her reins, shutting her up.

“My friends and I showed her the true meaning of Friendship, and after a climactic duel in Cloudsdale, she became my first personal student. For over a year, we learned so many things about Friendship together, and it was the happiest year of my life. Exactly one week ago today, I was doing some readings on the Magic Mirror, and I found an alien world! The creatures there are called humans. Humans, like ponies, need Friendship, but are not as capable of developing it for themselves! Celestia advised me to send a pony there to find a human willing to learn our ways.”

Starlight whispers to me: “That’s you, stud!” I chuckle, and I flick the bridle, speeding my mare up into a canter. We’re still a distance away from the podium, so I think we’re fine!

“This human is a lot like me. He thinks differently and has trouble with some social cues. I sent Starlight to find him, and after some convincing, he agreed to come to visit Equestria!”

The crowd went wild, and a chant of “Twilight, Twilight, Twilight!” broke out amongst the crowd. After a minute or two, it calmed down.

“I appreciate the enthusiasm!” She says, to which everypony laughed.

“Now, about Starlight. She successfully taught an “autistic” human how to exhibit empathy, which wouldn’t normally be possible. His brain is wired differently, and I’d wager he had trouble finding himself on his planet. It was this act of teaching Friendship to somecreature who needed it the most that merited my pupil’s ascension into an alicorn. Mares and Gentlecolts, it is my utmost privilege and joy to introduce to you Equestria’s newest Princess.”

She takes a minute to blow her nose. She’s crying? Twilight must be really touched by this massive achievement of hers!

“STARLIGHT GLIMMER!”

That’s her cue. With a flick of the bridle, I urge my mare to take off, and we launch into the sky, doing a quick circuit around the plaza. Everypony cheered, and someponies pointed at me. Again, most ponies are not used to seeing human passengers! With poise and grace befitting a princess, my lovely marefriend lands on the podium, and she gently lifts me off her back.

“She brought a visitor, too!” Twilight adds, before casting a spell. This spell conjures a box. I don’t know what’s inside the box for sure, but it’s probably a tiara!

Celestia trots over, and opens the box, revealing, you guessed it, a tiara. It has a gem inside that is the same lilac color as my steed.

Celestia takes the diadem in her hooves and clears her throat.

“It is my honor to crown Equestria’s sixth Princess. Introducing Princess Starlight Glimmer, the Princess of Justice!”

Celestia gently places the tiara on my steed’s head, and it begins to glow light purple! The crowd goes wild and immediately bows in fealty to their new Princess. Heck, even I bow, rider and paramour aside!

Starlight looks so happy, and I am happy for her. She scoops me up and gives me a big “mare hug”.

“Speech time, Noah. Wish me luck!” She says, plopping me back atop her. She spreads her wings symbolically, and I feel my steed’s horn light up. A quick firework is launched into the noon sky, exploding in the shape of her cutie mark!

In sum, I am dating a pony goddess of justice, and I am honored to be her rider.
