//------------------------------// // The Princess Wakes. // Story: How is it...Possible?! I don't know. // by PrincessCelestia123 //------------------------------// Celestia sat on the floor, bored and flipping through books. She had been bored all day, no royal appointments, nothing to do. She was just looking through spell books, trying to come across something fun to use. Looking down, the alicorn spotted a prank book, or what she thought was a prank book! The spell was labeled "Turn a pony into an alicorn!" Celestia chuckled. Horn glowing, she studied the page, nodding. Turning one of Twilights friends into an alicorn would be funny, the spell would wear off after an hour or two. But it'd certainly be a sight to see! Horn glowing more, the spell was cast, though not on the pony she had aimed it at. Colgate rolled over as she woke, groaning softly. She wanted to sleep in longer, being a dentist was really fun, but she just wanted to sleep in a little more! The alarm clock beeped loudly, until she used her magic to shut it off. Grumbling, Colgate groggily got out of her bed. She felt...Different. Taller, stronger. "I must be going crazy...I'm the same old mare I've always been.." Sleepily walking out of her room, the unicorn turned into her bathroom, heading over to the sink. Turning on the cold water, she floated her toothbrush under it, put toothpaste on it, and began brushing her teeth, chuckling a little bit. She felt...Really different. She felt like she was in another ponies body for an odd reason. What was wrong with her? It was a whole new feeling that was really starting to bug her. Shrugging it off once more, Colgate brushed for two minutes, spitting into the sink and washing off her toothbrush. Lifting up her head, she stared into the mirror smiling widely to check her teeth. Wait...What was that on each of her sides?! Turning her head Colgate shrieked, her new wings opened, she shot up into the air, hitting her head on the ceiling. She fell onto the ground, closing her eyes tightly, rubbing them with both hooves. It was a dream, all a dream! Or she was losing it! You didn't just sprout wings out of nowhere! How could she, Colgate, a dentist from pony ville become an alicorn! That...Wasn't even possible! It just didn't...How...This..TWILIGHT! Twilight Sparkle would know what to do! She was really good with things like this! Turning off the running water, Colgate caught her breath, trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Maybe it was a hallucination? The pain in her head and the open wings on her back proved her wrong immediately. This was real life. She had grown wings, and become an alicorn! She would have to skip work today! Walking in with a pair of wings..."Oh hey everypony, yeah I just became an alicorn. No big deal. Go back to work everypony!" Yeah that'd go well...She had to get to Twilight, if there was anypony who'd know what to do it was her. No way was she going to get on a train and go all the way to canterlot! Well...Flying was an option but these wings felt so odd and weird on her back. Nope. Flying wasn't going to work. Colgate would have to walk across town, avoid everypony who was up, and get to Twilights. The most biggest challenge, was the one pony who would most likely find out. Pinkie Pie. She found a cap in her house, quickly throwing it on. This would help alot! Colgate adjusted the cape on her back, the wings could be seen a little bit. At least it covered them up a tiny bit! All she had to do was keep moving, keep moving, not get seen, not talk to anypony. Her goal was that library. It was her only hope of getting an answer to her problem. Opening the door to her house very, very slowly, she tip toed out, gently closing it behind her. The street was empty right now. That was good. Maybe Pinkie Pie was sleeping. That mare was so unpredictable and could pop out of nowhere, with her not up it was almost guaranteed she'd be getting across town to the library. Walking down the street, more speed walking, she heard... Giggling...Followed by bouncing. Coming from behind her. She turned around, and nothing was there. Continuing on, every few seconds she'd hear it, as if it were getting closer...Breaking off into a jog, Colgate rushed forward, trying to get away from the laughing. When she looked behind her again, a pink mare could be seen, all the way at the end of the street. Pinkie Pie. And she was looking...Right. Back. At. Her. Colgate gulped, seeing the pink pony wave, starting to bounce again, coming straight for her. She turned, starting to jog again, sweating nervously, soon going into a run. Why was Pinkie up? What did she want from her? When she looked behind her again, fear crept up her back. The...Mare was gone. What? A sigh left her mouth, followed by a shriek as Pinkies face appeared infront of hers. "Hiya Colgate!" She looked around nervously, backing up a bit. Pinkie was so close, she'd start asking about the cape! "O-Oh Uhm...Hi Pinkie Pie...Do you need something?" "Yeaah...I got a question for you!" Oh no here it comes...Colgate gulped again "W-What is that Pinkie?" She'd ask about the cape, my wings will be discovered! She'll start asking about it. Then she'll tell everypony! Oh gosh! I can't have everypony knowing I'm an alicorn! This is all a huge mistake! I don't want to be an alicorn of dentistry! "Can I come in for a cheekup later today? It's been a while and I haven't brushed in a few days annnnddd I had alot of cake at that party last week. Were you there? Oh it was so fun!" Colgate wiped the sweat off of her forehead. Phew! "Yeah uh sure you can. And err...Yeah that party was really nice Pinkie...Now if you'll excuse me I reaaalllyy gotta go.." Pinkie giggled and nodded turning and bouncing "Colgate you should take off the cape! It really doesn't suit you!" Colgate nearly fainted, the biggest obstacle was out of her way. At least Pinkie Pie hadn't started to ask why she was wearing the cape in the first place! Wiping a hoof over her face Colgate sighed happily. Finally,she was free to go! This day couldn't get any worse! Colgate sneaked cross ponyville, safe and sound, for once having luck! She bumped into no pony, Pinkie couldn't be seen again! All was well! Except for well, the sun was just rising, ponies were still sleeping except for few. And...Twilight had all her windows shut and the door locked. What should she do? Knock on the door? She'd end up waking up some other pony or something! No pony could see her! A door opened across the street, a stallion stepped out. "Hey Colgate! Hey!"
