//------------------------------// // The Diary // Story: The Secret Diary of Princess Celestia // by The Isapie //------------------------------// 5:30 pm "Thank you so much, Celestia. You have no idea how much this means to me," said Twilight, her saddlebags full of ancient Old Equestrian tomes. "The pleasure is all mine, dearest fellow princess. It was about time somepony continued the traditions of Old Equish!" Responded her former mentor, ushering her out the door. "Take as long as you want with them. I'm very fluent in Old Equish, unlike you, dear, who can barely say "Hello" and "Goodbye." For now, though, take care. I must retire to my chambers and eat cake-I mean, rake, the leaves of falling paper out and off my bed," she said, smiling at Twilight, then with a powerful wingbeat, she flew up to her room. Twilight then stepped into her royal carriage and said, "Achilles, Napoleon, take me home." "With great pleasure, your majesty." 6:30 pm. "Spike? Spike, I'm home! Oh!" Twilight had stepped through the doorway of her castle and bumped right into her coltfriend, Flash Sentry. "Twilight! What happened? Spike said you'd be home by six!" "I said seven, Spike," deadpanned the princess. "Eh. Spike's out. Went to pick up Rarity for something. Anyways, what've you got?" Asked Flash. "Some Old Equish tomes from the princess," replied Twilight. "I suppose you'll want to read them," said Flash disappointedly, heading for the door. 'It's alright. Us time is better than reading time," smiled Twilight. Flash grinned and showed his fillyfriend into the kitchen, where he had made a massive, completely delicious-smelling buffet dinner for her. "You know, the castle staff could have done this," said Twilight after recovering from the shock. "Eh. They helped, a bit." 8:30 pm. "Night, Twi." "Night, Flashy.' Flash Sentry waved one last time before closing the door softly and flying back home. Twilight then took the books out of her saddlebag and read the titles. "The Zebra Dynasty" "The Kirin Dynasty" "The Seapony Dynasty" "The Secret Diary of Princess Celestia-wait, what?" Indeed, Twilight held the said diary in her hooves. She was a little curious, and that curiosity was growing by the second. "Twilight Sparkle! This is Princess Celestia's diary! Not yours! You can't read it!" But her curiosity got the better of her, and she cracked open the diary to the first entry. "Entry One' "Hello, diary. My name is Celestia Solar, daughter of Queen Aeterna Galactica and King Terra Sol. I have a little sister named Luna Midnight and a nanny named Blackberry and a friend who's a batpony and his name is Mr. Chives. I love my mummy and daddy and my sister and my nanny and my friend! "Yesterday was Hearth's Warming. Everyone was at the castle and it was so fun! "Chryssie was there. Her real name is Chrysalis and she's a changeling. Her daddy is King Metamorphosis and her mummy is Queen Altertia. Oh, and she has a grumpy face grandpa named Obsidian. "Sombra was there. He's little like Lulu, but he plays nice. His daddy is really nice and gave me this diary, and his name is King Krustallos. His mummy was nice too and gave me candy. Her name is Queen Amemond. "Oh, and Discord, who I call Discy, was there too! His mummy, Queen Eris, and his daddy, King Entropy were really nice too, and they built us a snow fort. And then a pillow fort. I really like Discy. In the pillow fort, he said he liked me, too!" "Mummy says I should get to bed, now. I'm tired." "Night night, diary! "Tia Solar"
