Celestia stretched as she woke up. For the week leading up to when classes start up, the unicorn has been allowed to sleep in the dorm rooms. Though she has yet to even meet her roommate. Deciding to head for the kitchen for breakfast, Celestia suddenly comes across a very familiar pink alicorn.
"P-princess Cozy Glow?!" Celestia exclaimed.
"That's me." Cozy Glow said. "You must be one of the new students right? You'll probably see me around."
"I-It's such an honor to meet you, your highness. I can't believe I'm actually talking to the Warrior Princess herself!" Celestia said.
"...You do realize that that's not my title right? For my real title--"
"Is the Princess of Negotiations. I know that, but every pony my age refers to you as the Warrior Princess for how you've been so successful in the various wars you've taken command of." Celestia interrupted. "After all, isn't it true you've never lost a battle?"
"Well dang, I'm surprised you keep up with that kiddo. Regardless, you've kept me long enough." Cozy Glow said before she put on a helmet.
"Oh, are you heading to do another war?" Celestia asked.
"Nah; it's just that I've been assigned to escort some pony named 'Queen Chrysalis' to Canterlot. She apparently wants to negotiate with Twilight Sparkle directly for reasons I'm unsure of yet." Cozy Glow said. "But since she's actually reached out to us first for a direct face-to-face diplomacy, we have every right to hear her out."
"Oh. Well, regardless, I wish you luck. Not that you need it. Like I said, there's a reason every foal my age refers to you as the Warrior Princess rather than the Princess of Negotiations. Plus, it sounds cooler." Celestia said.
Cozy Glow ruffled Celestia's mane. "You're alright kiddo. I really hope I bump into the likes of you again down the line." She then flew off.
Celestia couldn't help her enthusiasm as she headed through the castle some more to head to the kitchen. I can't believe Princess Cozy Glow wants to chat with me again. Luna would be so jealous of me right now.
Celestia soon found the kitchen where she was greeted by Princess Twilight. "Ah. Good morning Celestia. You're a little early for breakfast still." Princess Twilight stated.
"Huh?" Celestia then decided to look at the clock. It was five minutes before six in the morning. "B-but I thought..."
"Seems you woke up just a little too early. Tomorrow, try to sleep a little bit more than this, okay? I'd hate for you to start neglecting your body's need to sleep." Twilight said.
"Oh...okay..." Celestia said. Still, getting to chat with Princess Cozy Glow was so worth it!
That's when another unicorn about Celestia's age soon entered the dining hall. The foal in question was mostly green, and their mane color was yellow which paired well with the fact their cutie mark was a yellow star. "Morning Princess." The foal said.
"Ah you're a bit early too, but I'm glad you came by so early." Twilight said. "Celestia, I'd like for you to meet your roommate Lucky Star."
"Roommate?" At that word, Lucky Star looked at Celestia.
"Hello, my name's Celestia." Celestia said.
"...Your nice. That's good. I do hope we'll get along great." Lucky Star said.
"I know we will!" Celestia said.
Food was brought out a bit later. "Food's here, so let's have breakfast." Twilight said.
After Breakfast, the two foals began to chat with one another to get to know each other a little better.
"Seriously? You woke up early enough to see Princess Cozy Glow go off on one of her excursians?" Lucky Star said.
"That's right. It was so cool to get a little time to chat with her before she left." Celestia said.
"Wow. I can't believe you managed to do that. I'm a little jelly of that." Lucky Star said.
"By the way, do you have any siblings, Lucky Star?" Celestia asked.
"While I'm technically an only child, I would sometimes hear mom talking to the ceiling saying things about some pony she calls 'Volt Lightning' and how she would've made a great older sister. So, I must have an older sister somewhere out in the world." Lucky Star said.
Celestia suddenly winced. D-do I even dare tell her that her so called 'older sister' is dead? My mom taught me about death and the afterlife, but do I dare ruin Lucky Star's hopes and dreams? She thought to herself. She then collected herself. No; no, I should not. If there's one other thing mom told me, it's that the death of a family member is one of the worst things you can tell some pony.
"I hope you get to meet her one day." Celestia said. It wasn't a lie per-say, but it was better than the alternative.
"Well, that's very kind of you to say Celestia. I hope I get to meet her one day too." Lucky Star said.
Celestia just smiled. She really didn't have the heart to tell Lucky Star the real truth. But...maybe by giving Lucky Star hope that she'll see her sister in the future will be enough.
