Coping With Magic

2 moons later

Now, magic being hard for any unicorn, Rainbow Dash found it exceptionally hard, as she was a pegasus. Being a pegasus, she had not learned magic, and not learning magic makes an alicorn's go crazy. "You have to learn magic so it doesn't go haywire" That's what she got from just about everyone. Dash never learned magic, well, you get the idea.
"LUUUUUNA, (your highness) this is SOOOOO boring!" moaned a winged magic bearer sprawled out all over the floor.
"Rainbow Dash, if you are to be an alicorn you must learn magic, or we send you to the moon or well, ....ex..execute...you...."
"WHAT?"
"See, this is why you hafta learn magic. And please excuse what I just said. (Luna, you are NOT a filly anymore.)"
"umm..."
"Let me explain. An alicorn's magic EASILY goes out of control. If it does that, powers even deeper inside them will be let loose. When that happens, you cannot control this magic. It may destroy towns and cities. So that's probably why."
Rainbow let out a shiver. At least she doesn't use the voice. But execution... moon moooon mooooon. Mmmmmooon. That would be...
Luna looked at her with curiosity but backed away when the cyan's eye muscles spazzed a bit. Her eyes darted across the room to a frightened midnight mare. "Rainbow...." Multicolor sparks were released as the pegasus lifted into the air. Zap! "Oh.... She's gone..."
Celestia heard a pop and saw the cyan pony quivering. She saw that the sniveling one get a drink and and sandwich.
"Harder than" sip "You thought" sip "Hmm? Rainbow?" sip Celestia loved tea. Especially earl gray tea from her Keurig... well.. that's beside the point. "Rainbow, you've done well, learning to teleport so quickly. Even if by mistake. You may take a rest, for today. Now, any questions?"
"Yeah sweetie, Howa 'bout I do something. Or- omigosh! Sorry I don't know were that came from..."
" Hmmm... Remember Nightmare Moon? That's what it was. It goes in through the horn and out the same. You have to cope with being the only alicorn not doing anything. Us alicorns get very antsy when not doing something... I'll see that you get some task."
"Yes ma'am. Or.. your highness... or princess. Whichever you prefer."
"None, thank you. You are a princess, or godess. You do need not to adress me like that. Celestia gave a curt nod, and dismissed a bit of a dismayed Rainbow Dash.
Plip plip. wet marks were the trail behind a moping unicorn. Feather were slipping off of blue wings dragging on the waxed floor. Drooping, the magic-y horse plopped herself into the royal suite. Plip pli drip plip Small drops form in her bloodshot eyes, as she got no sleep the night before. They swept the green hair on her magical, flowing tail, like dewdrops on morning grass. "What am I to do..? P-please help me. How did that happen... Who was that that was talking through me...I can't do any..." She nodded off. A Shadowed figure was in her doorstep, but not noticed by a snoozing pegasus.
"It's okay dear."
