Alicorns are regal, sophisticated and majestic creatures.
They combine the best of ponydom in them and lead their people toward prosperity and a better tomorrow.
There were many noble and wondrous things that can be linked to them.
Loudly yelling "WOHOOOO" was not the first thing that sprung to mind though.
Yet, two of them were currently doing so as they cut through the clouds, high above the land they ruled. The chill of great height ran through their coats and smiling, they fought it by cuddling together, for it was not their own wings that carried them through the heavens.
"Enjoying yourselves?" asked the kindly, aged voice of a still beautiful unicorn. Age and overworking had tried its best to rob the white mare off her charms, but she had fought them valiantly through diets, pampering and a healthy lifestyle. The huge pilot's goggles and the flying scarf, she wore concealed the last blemishes.
"Are you kidding?" Twilight Sparkle laughed happily, snuggling against the alicorn next to her. "If I had known how much fun this was, I had tried to help him control his growth much sooner!"
"I agree!" Princess Celestia hollered "I should have adopted more dragons in my time!"
"Is going from Number One Assistant to epic mount a promotion or a degradation?" The huge dragon, they were currently riding asked with a grin.
"Neither! It's payback for all the times, you spent on my back!" Twilight hollered merrily and gave their mount a playful kick. She and Princess Celestia were lounging on a huge, scaled back, right between the wings, while Rarity was sitting on the dragons head, seemingly steering him with affectionate rubs. "Now how about you show us some tricks?"
"Oh dear, you might have to push the turbo button, my Queen!" Spike said with a grin.
Rarity giggled, leaned down and placed a soft kiss on the dragon's forehead.
Spike flapped his wings and built up speed.
The two alicorns laughed and hollered as he flew loops and burst through a cloud formation.
"Though I am not sure if I want you kissing my son right in front of me..." Celestia teased, earning a laugh from Rarity.
"And I am not sure if I want my sister and my mom cuddling and kissing on my back." Spike commented. "But I gave up complaining, did I."
"Point taken, now: Less talking more flying through that stormcloud over there!" Twilight laughed and leaned against Celestia.
What a great way for a family to spend the afternoon.
