"Your Highness! You seem to have misplaced your crown and-" the Guard stopped, and was perplexed at the sight before him.
There, in the middle of Canterlot Gardens, was the Princess Celestia, free of her regal jewelry, sitting in the small field, with her star student - a young filly by the name of Twilight Sparkle. The two of them sat together, with a small pile of textbooks set aside, and it seemed for once, the lesson wasn't all that serious.
"Did I do it right?" the filly piped up, levitating up her work.
Instead of a test subject or a worksheet, Twilight's masterpiece of the day crafted via magic was something quite simple.
It was a flower crown.
Celestia smiled, and nodded. "It's perfect," she praised.
Twilight raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself for a minute, only before she smiled wide and stood up, levitating it over to her teacher and letting it fall on the Princess's head.
"Do you think I should get rid of my regular crown for this one?" she laughed.
"Uh-huh," Twilight said, with her sweet little innocent smile. "You look prettier this way."

"So, what's the point of this study?" Twilight smiled, as she followed Celestia through the Gardens. "Was a new type of plant discovered? Do we get to analyze something?"
Celestia let out a soft chuckle, and bit back a smile as she carefully picked a few flowers from a nearby bush. Twilight watched carefully as Celestia's soft yellow magic wove the flowers around in an odd pattern that brought the younger Princess into a state of curiosity. Now that she thought about it, this didn't seem like a lesson...
"A flower crown?" she asked. "I don't understand."
"Well," Celestia murmured, as she levitated it over to her marefriend and placed it on the top of her head. "Let's just say you look prettier this way."
As her lover kissed her on the cheek, Twilight couldn't deny the sweet sappy smile or dark red bashful blush on her expression.
