//------------------------------// // You Can Tell Me Anything // Story: Just Tell Her // by mageli7 //------------------------------// Twilight moved the quill with her magic carefully. She was yet again, writing another letter to Celestia. This time it wasn't about friendship.... well technically it was more than friendship, something she had wanted to admit to the Princess. That she l....lo....love- okay she couldn't really say the words, but they were there! "You can tell me anything, my faithful student." Twilight repeated those words in her head, over and over again. Anything.... anything.... did that mean she could tell the princess how she really felt? Twilight groaned and crumpled up the paper that sat in front of her. This was pointless, it wasn't going anywhere. She stood up and sighed, pacing around the library. Spike was out right now, helping Rarity around the shop. "I'm not going to get anywhere at this rate! How do I even tell a sun goddess that I love her?!" Twilight cried out, hitting her head against a wall. She sighed, her wings ruffling a bit. What was she going to do? Just go over to Canterlot and tell the princess she loved her? ....that could actually work.... Twilight used her magic to pick up her saddle bag and put it on her back, clipping a band that hung off it around her neck so it wouldn't fall off while flying. God, she was glad Dash had taught her how to fly, that made the process a whole lot easier. Should could just teleport, but she needed time to think about what she was going to say when she got there. She walked outside and swallowed. The sun was nearly setting, Celestia was working her magic. Twilight blushed from even thinking about the princess. She sighed and took a running start before taking off into the air. She passed by Rarity's Boutique and Sugarcube Corner, looking down at it. Her friends would tell her to do this, they knew, it was rather obvious. The way she blushed when Celestia was around, how eager she was to please, and how close she stayed by to the other. It didn't take a genius to notice feelings. Rarity was the first to notice though, she knew the most about love out of all of their friends. "So darling!" Rarity said, fitting her friend for a dress for some social event, "I see you have a cruuuush." "W-what? No!" Twilight said, groaning a bit from how tight the dress was. "Much too tight...." Rarity muttered before continuing, loosening the dress. "It's obvious, Twilight. You and the Princes.... thick as thieves. You love her, don't you?" ".....I um.... maybe a little," Twilight said, blushing deeply. "Ahhhh! I knew it! I'm so happy for you tw- wait does she know?" Rarity asked, freezing in place. "No..." "You simply MUST tell her!" Rarity cried out. "This is your only chance at true love with the princess!" "Maybe I will..." Twilight shook her head and continued flying, a bit scared for what was to come. She went over what she would say in her head. Princess Celestia.... I love yo-" No, too quick, that was too much. Princess, I've known you for so long and I really think we shou-" No, that was basically forcing her into a relationship, she needed to think of something else. Princess, we've known each other for so long and now I think I.... I love you." Not bad, that could work. Twilight flapped her wings harder, panting a bit. It was still rather hard to fly... She didn't think she would ever get used to this. There was the castle, Canterlot wasn't too far away, she would be there soon. Twilight soon arrived at the castle, panting as she walked slowly to the front entrance. "What is your business-" a new guard started before getting a glare from the other. "Sorry Princess Twilight, come inside," the other guard said, stepping aside to let Twilight in. "Thank you...." Twilight mumbled out, her legs shaking a bit as she walked inside. She was so scared... what if the princess rejected her? Twilight's heart beat faster as she walked up the stairs and down a hallway that led to Celestia's room. The world around her seemed to move in slow motion, everything was frozen in time but her. She finally reached the door and gently brought a hoof up to knock on it. "Enter," a voice boomed out from inside the room. Twilight shakily entered the room. "H-hello princess." Celestia looked up and smiled, "Twilight! My student, what brings you here?" "I uh... have something to um... tell you..." "Which is?" Twilight's heart beat faster as she looked up at the princess. It was now or never. "I....I love you... And not just as a friend or anything, like in a relationship. I love you, I want you to be my special somepony...." Twilight mumbled out, bowing her head. "I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way about me... I'll go nowm I just needed to tell you." "Twilight wait. I have something to say to you." Celestia said which made Twilight stop and turn around. "Y-yes...?" Celestia stared at her for a second. "Normally, I would never say the same thing, I can't be in a relationship with a normal pony. But you are an alicorn. You are immortal. So... I love you too, Twilight." Twilight got a large grin on her face before fainting. Celestia picked her up with magic, a small smile on her face as she set her down on her own bed. "Sleep well, my student." Celestia kissed the top of her head, "I love you."
