A white blur was moving through the castle of Canterlot. Ponies with sharp eyes and reflexes might even see a few pastel colours in it, but for most, it was just a blur. There and gone a second later.

It was moving towards the upper levels of the castle and the finally, it rushed through the room of princess Celestia of Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle, most faithful student, bearer of the Element of Magic and trotting powder keg of OCD was lounging on the princess' soft bed and reading a report on a trade dispute with Fillydelphia. Boring stuff, but it was made bearable by the hot cocoa next to the bed and the slight smell of alicorn that came from the bed. Her favourite alicorn, to be precise.

She looked up as the white form rushed through the room and towards one of the large cupboards. She let out a sigh as the blur stopped long enough to turn into Princess Celstia of Equestria, supreme ruler, lover of Twilight Sparkle and mistress of the Canter Sutra LVL 350, currently holding a small package in her wing.

With glow of her majestic horn, the princess moved the cupboard aside without much effort and revealed a small hole in the wall.

As she plunged her horn into the hole, an act that still made Twilight's head overflow with stuff she had read in Saddlemund Freud's work, the surrounding space of the hole lit up with magic runes and a door opened in the wall.

Twilight let out a sigh and got up. The princess had already entered the hidden room and the unicorn could hear a happy whistling sound from inside.

"You know..." said the smaller pony slowly "You could at least say hello. Or give me a kiss. Or somehow acknowledge my existence."

"Oh, Twilight!" answered Celestia, now busy opening the package greedily "I didn't want to disturb your concentration. You looked busy."

"How would you know? Your eyes are somewhere else entirely." Twilight answered dryly. It was not that she was jealous. She would have her fun with the content of the box as well. But she liked to tease the monarch. Slowly she walked over to the door and entered the hidden room.

It was dimly lit while several rows of frames covered the walls. Several hundreds of very specific objects were displayed on them. Some small, some big and a few huge ones too.

"I have been waiting quite a while for this one!" Celestia answered in a giddy way. She was already levitating a big tube and a soft brush closer. "Once I am done, we can immediately start!"

"Goodness!" the unicorn sighed "You won't give me a break, will you? You get one and you have to use it!"

"I have already played this game with real ones!" answered Celestia with played haughtiness 

"And just because I did my part, so neither of us will have to deal with it, doesn't mean we should let these skills go to waste."

Twilight shook her head. "I know, I Aced my history class. And that was before I started to date my teacher." she said with a sigh "I'll get mine ready."

"Good!" answered Celestia with a big grin "My Minotaurs are waiting to crush you!" giggled the princess and held up a small plastic figure.

Twilight went and fetched her bunch of Warhammer figures. "And I thought, I was the nerdy one in this relationship...."
