		Feeling braver than normal, you decide to try the Princess that rules over Equestria - a bold choice, really, for Celestia is very vague when talking, making it harder for you to tell if she likes you or not.  You might do something you'll regret, but you decide to try - just in case it actually works out.  You walk through the hallway stealthily, trying not to invoke the wrath of any guard who might still hear you.  You can't back out now - it's getting darker outside, and the security will no doubt only get tighter.  A few minutes later, past windows and pictures and all sorts of decorations and fine paint on the wall, you're standing at the finely-decorated oak door of Princess Celestia's room.

Taking a gulp, you push open the door slowly... and witness the white alicorn with a flowing rainbow mane and tail, Princess Celestia herself beginning to fall asleep on a massive two-pony bed which lies at the back of the pearl-colored room with nothing else inside of it.  You notice how much bigger Celestia's body is compared to the ponies of Ponyville, her neck holding a regal golden necklace with a purple gem embedded in it.  While you're staring at the sun cutie mark on Celestia's big flank, the door you opened keeps in full swing, and before you can catch it, it smacks on the wall with its other side.
The Princess looks up, startled, and stares at you with her magenta eyes, suddenly with her eyebrows set in a suspicious arch.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my bedchambers?" she demands.


What will you say?

The truth - an alicorn as important as Princess Celestia might see through any lies I have.  I'll tell her that I came looking for love and hope for the best.

Princess Celestia wouldn't possibly just love me if I told her straight-up that I needed it.  I'm going to lie and tell her some false important news, then try to seduce her from there.
