One of them noticed her and gasped, quickly bowing. This upset Celestia but she tried to keep a warm smile on her face. “Your Highness! What brings you hear to Ponyville?” Said the pony, panting a bit. “It’s not often you come here out of the blue without announcing! And more importantly, without your guards or your carriage!” The princess bent down a bit, looking at the pony. “Well, I’m here to visit Twilight Sparkle, is she anywhere around?” She said, worried that her student might have something to do with this. The villager smiled, sweating a little. “Well, she’s in her home. She’s been wanting to see you actually! She’s been sending you a lot of letters!” She said, blinking nervously. Celestia tried to stifle a small giggle. “How many? I haven’t been in my room for about 30 minutes.” The letters normally went straight to her room, she didn’t burp them out like Twilight’s assistant, Spike, did. Nor did she fart them out, which was a strange idea that crossed her mind a couple of times. They magically came out of thin air into her room. “Oh, um......about 100! She kinda panicked!” Just then, a familiar, screaming voice was heard all the way from Canterlot. “CELESTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!” The sun princess couldn’t help but burst into a fit of giggles, amused by this. Her student had picked the perfect timing to send her letters, which were being dropped on her little sister’s head. Even though she was the older one, she liked to mess with her sister a little. Of course, this also meant her sister got her back for it occasionally, just a little way for the two to have fun with how boring things can be. “Teehee.....hee....hee” Celestia giggled as she caught her breath, finished with her little fit. “So, you were saying she was in her house?” The pony nodded, surprised from the princess’ show of laughter. “She’s been there the whole time! Probably writing more letters! I can take you do her if you’d like!” She said, bowing. The princess frowned a little. “No, it’s fine, I can find it on my own.” She said, making her way towards Ponyville proper. “Have a good day now” “Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!” Said a certain lavender unicorn as she frantically wrote more and more letters, starting to get sloppy with her writing. “She usually replies to my letters when I send them to her! Well, unless she tells me she won’t be home for a while! Then that’s ok! But she didn’t! Ohmygosh, what if she got kidnapped?! What if she’s sick! What if she......doesn’t like me anymore?! What if I’m being annoying!” This was Twilight Sparkle. Though she kept composure in front of the princess, that didn’t mean she didn’t have a nervous breakdown when she thought something was wrong. “Spike! I’m scared.....” She said as she shook violently. “And I really need her!” The purple dragon who was sending these letters panted heavily, exhausted from being overworked. “T-Twilight.....can you......please relax......I’m dying here.......” He said, falling to the ground. Twilight rushed around the house, making a mess as she pulled out list after list to see if she had missed something on the princess’ schedule. “But Spike! The princess isn’t replying! And according to what I have, she should be at her castle! I’m worried! What if she.......” She said, going silent as there was a knock on the door. She quickly flew over to the door, but obviously not like a pegasus, and opened it, her jaw hitting the floor when she saw who it was. “Hello Twilight Sparkle, I heard you were having some trouble? I just so happened to being flying to Ponyville for some relaxation” Said the princess as she looking around in the library her student called home. It was a mess and there was empty inkwells and used quills all over the floor with some puddles of ink dotted on the floor. “I heard you were um...... panicking.” She said, trying to sound and smile sympathetically. She knew of her student’s tendency to panicked when something that had to do with the princess seemed wrong. Twilight gulped, blushing rather deeply, then clearly her throat. “Ahem, y-yes......Well, you see.....um......” She said, nervous. Celestia affectionately wrapped one of her large wings around her student in order to comfort her. “It’s alright, stay calm. Now, what’s the problem?” She said, gently rubbing Twilight’s back. Twilight calmed down, taking a rather deep breath before she spoke. “It’s Apple Bloom, she’s in the Everfree Forest and nobody knows where she is! She isn’t at Zecora’s!” She said, becoming a bit tense again. Celestia frowned, knowing who this was, she was very worried. Apple Bloom was a little filly, she was the baby sister of one of Twilight’s close friends, Applejack. She had a knack for getting into trouble, especially with her friends who were in a group with her that they called “The Cutie Mark Crusaders”. The name was rather self-explanatory: They wanted to find their special talents, thus getting their Cutie Marks. However, it often led to them getting into trouble and needing saving. And this time, it was no laughing matter, she was in the Everfree Forest, a place of great mystery and home to many hostile creatures. Many ponies feared it, even the adults, but for the princess, it wasn’t so scary. She had seen worse in her many years of living, and going in to save one of her subjects sounded wonderful, maybe it’d make them fear her less and that she wasn’t just someone who sat around eating bon-bons all day. And no, not the pony, that’d be wrong. The princess smiled at her faithful student, nodding approvingly. “Alright, I’ll help you.” She said, letting go of Twilight. The purple unicorn let out a sigh of relief, happy to have her teacher helping her out. “Alright! Let’s go!” She said, walking out the door. The princess giggled a little, happy that her student was no longer nervous. She went out the door, following her student to the Everfree Forest. After the door shut, a certain baby dragon sighed happily. “Thank Celestia, I can.....relax......” He said as he shortly passed out. This was a very thrilling day for Celestia so far, but what she didn’t know, it was about to get a whole lot better.
