A Princess's Sadness
Chapter 1
It was a few days after Twilight's ceremony and her new transformation. I thought I would pay her a visit today since I haven't seen her in a couple days. So I make my way over to the castle and when I got there, I happen to stumble across Celestia.
"Good morning Daniel." she said nicely. "How are you?"
"Morning Princess Celestia. I'm doing pretty good."
"What brings you here this early in the morning?" Celestia asked.
"I just wanted to pay Twilight a visit. I haven't seen her in a couple days. Is she alright?" I ask nicely.
She then had a look on her face that I didn't want to see: sadness. That's when I started to get worried and I knew that something was wrong with Twilight and I then wanted to know what was going on.
"Is there something wrong with Twilight your majesty?" I worriedly asked.
"She never told me." Celestia began. "She won't come out of her room and she won't talk to anypony, not even me."
Now I was really getting worried. This didn't sound like Twilight at all. I think that she would at least talk to the princess what is wrong and what was bothering her. I think it was time for me to step in and try to solve this situation.
"Do you think I could go talk to her?" I asked. "I think she would want me to talk to if she doesn't want to talk to any other pony."
"I...I suppose you could try to see what is wrong with my student." she said. "Her room is upstairs."
"Thank you. I'll try to see what is wrong with her and try to bring her back onto her hooves again." I said.
"Please do so Daniel." she began with worry. "I hate to see her this sad and it pains me to not know what is wrong with her."
She then left and I made my way to Twilight's room. It took me forever to get up there, but I finally get to Twilight's room. I knocked on the door and didn't hear anything at first. I knocked again and still got nothing.
"Twilight? Are you okay?" I ask her.
All I heard from her was sniffles.
"Twilight. It's Daniel! Are you alright?"
Still no response from her.
"Come on Twilight! You have to talk to me. Can I please come in?" I ask her politely.
"Not now Daniel!" She finally said.
This is definitely not the Twilight I know. She usually doesn't turn me down. There was something seriously wrong with her and I wasn't going to leave until she talks to me.
"Twilight, this is Daniel your talking to! I told you that no matter what problem you have and how serious it is, I will always be there to comfort you! Now please let me in." I said
"You wouldn't understand Daniel!" she yelled.
This started to piss me off. She will not do this to me.
"Twilight, there is something seriously wrong with you and I want to know what it is that is bothering you! You will NOT push me away and drown in your sorrow!" I yelled. "All I want to do is try my best to help you what ever it is that is bothering you Twi. You know that I won't just walk away and give up. If it's that serious, then you need to tell me and you need to do it now!"
No response.
"...Twi?" I call out in worry.
"...Are you sure you want to come in here? My room is all messy and I look terrible!" she said.
"Twi, you know that I don't care about that type of thing. Like I said before, all I want to do is help you with whatever problem you are facing right now." I told her.
"...Can you promise not to tell anypony, other than the princess?" she asked.
"I promise."
"Pinkie Pie promise?" she asked.
I chuckled a little bit that the fact that I had to do it. Oh well, anything for Twilight.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" I said.
"...Alright Daniel. You can come in. But, like I said before, my room and my mane is really messy."
Thank god. I thought.
A purple aura then appears around the door, indicating that Twilight was using her magic to open the door. What I saw was shocking. She was right, it WAS a complete mess. Trash was on the floor, tissues were overflowing the trash bin and pile of books were stacked in the left corner near her bed, neatly. But that's not what shocked me the most. What really shocked me the most was Twilight.
Her mane was a mess, she had bags under her eyes, and she had the most saddening look on her face. Oh my god, her face. I have never seen her this sad before. It actually made me sad just by looking at her. I could tell that she was bottling a lot inside her and she looks like she could start crying any second now.
I closed the door behind me and as soon as I closed the door, she jumped onto me and hugged me tightly. I returned the hug and when I did, she started to cry. Her tears came down like a waterfall and it was already making my shirt wet.
"Twily. What's wrong?" I asked with deep concern.
She then gave that look again and I actually started to tear up a little bit. But I kept my ground and waited for an answer. After a few minutes of her crying in my arms, she was calm enough to tell me what was troubling her.
"I don't want this!" she yelled.
"Twily, slow down. What don't you want?" I asked.
"I don't want to be an alicorn! I don't want to be a princess! I DON'T WANT THIS!!" she screamed.
She started to cry again, but she was crying even louder this time and more tears started to come down from her eyes.
"I didn't realize that this would hit you this hard Twilight. I'm so sorry." I said.
We just sat there in silence for a good ten minutes before I finally broke the silence.
"Hey Twi?"
"Yes Daniel?"
"Do you want me to get you anything?" I asked.
"...Some water would be great right now." she said.
"Okay. I'll be right back." I said.
I was about to head out the door when Twilight stopped me for another hug.
"Thank you for being here Daniel. Your a great friend." she told me.
"That's what friends are for Twi. I'll be back in a little while." I told her.
I than gave her a heart-warming smile and then left the room. I just can't believe at what I just heard. I never thought that Twilight would be THIS upset with the whole transformation thing. I tried to think of what I should do, but I couldn't think of anything.
At this point, I'm really hoping I can help Twilight and try to keep her head up.
This is going to be a long day... I thought to myself as I walk out of the castle with thoughts racing through my head.
