//------------------------------// // Prequel: A letter to a Princess // Story: Wings- A Difficult Experience // by Crimson_Moon //------------------------------// Dear Princess Celestia, It has been roughly 2-3 months since my coronation, and I am not sure if these new wings of mine are, well... functioning properly. At almost random times it seems, they become as stiff as a unicorn's horn! You and your sister, Princess Luna, both have experience with situations regarding wings, and I would very much appreciate it if you can give me any insight that you or Luna had to deal with involving the wings you possess. As always, I await your reply, Your faithful student, Princess Twilight Sparkle The Princess read the letter for the 5th time, making sure she understood what her student was requesting. She wants to know if i had a... A wingboner!? She thought, her cheeks gaining a rosy tint. Thankfully she was in her bedchambers and alone so nopony could see her blushing. "What in the actual buck?!" was what she meant to say out loud, or even in her head, but was cut off by her sister knocking on her doors. "Sister, are you in there? You missed dinner, are you alright?" Luna asked with concern. Jiggling the handle, the night Princess tried to open the door, despite it being locked. "Please open up, I brought you something to eat!" "FUUUUUUDGE!" Celestia panicked, and threw the letter onto her desk riddled with political papers, and shuffled them around, hoping to disguise it as just another petition or law that needed approval. Clearing her voice, the sun Princess spoke. "Coming, Sister! I was, uh, in the shower!" "You know as well as I do that we do not have showers in your chambers." Drat, her jig was up! "Okay, fine! Come in, and I'll explain everything." The door was open, and in rushed the younger sister, still concerned. They stared at each other in awkward silence, Celestia with slight hints of a blush still lying on the surface, and Luna wondering what the heck is with her older sister's excuse from earlier. An eyebrow raised, Luna asked "Well? Care to let us in on your big secret?" With a defeated sigh, the Princess began to answer. "W-well, that is, i-i, um..." another sigh. In hoping to explain better with evidence, the alicorn lifted the letter from her concerned student with new appendages over to her younger sister. "Read it." was all she said behind a blush that was slowly returning. With hesitation, and slight intrigue, Princess Luna began to read the cause for embarrassment. seconds passed, which turned into minutes, and then an hour before the midnight princess finally understood... by blushing herself. "What in the actual buck?!" "So you agree!" the pearl coated princess exclaimed. "I-i don't know what to say, honestly." A sigh of relief came from Celestia. "Except perhaps, congratulations!" Needless to say, that sigh was short-lived. "I-i-it, i-i, u-um, what?" stammering through every sentence didn't help her case. Luna gasped in surprise. "So it is true!!!" "What's true?" She was still flush from embarrassment. An evil smile crept onto the blue alicorn's muzzle. "Celly's got a fillyfriend! Celly's got a fillyfriend" she sang in a child-like tune. Oh no! "Celestia and Twilight, sitting in a tree," Anything but more embarrassment! "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" "You asked for it sister!" Celestia lunged at her newfound enemy, and proceeded to give her noogies, chase her, and do other things that siblings do to one another. At first, it was out of unbound fury, but slowly melted into a fit of giggles and guffaws and smiles that only siblings know. After a few moments of rest, Celestia sat down by the fire, and sighed as the warmth of the fire reached her coat on the cold night. "You said you brought something to eat, sister?" she asked, as if nothing happened. She's cool like that. "Huh? Oh, yes," Luna said. her horn lit up, and two plates of cake were brought over to them, as well as a side of ice cream. "Strawberry cheesecake?" Luna nodded, which was the trigger for receiving a loving embrace from the Princess of the Sun. "My favorite! Thank you, Luna!" After Celestia let go, Luna began to speak. "Don't thank me yet. We still have your crush to deal with and I have already made plans in my head!" Back in Ponyville, was a very different experience altogether: Twilight was slightly panicking about what to do while she still had those infernal stiff wings that didn't let her sleep with comfort. Grunting and groaning, she tried to find a good resting spot in her bed back in Golden Oaks Library. "Why.Won't.You.Stay.Down!!!" She tried everything. Tape, magic, and even spike trying to hold them down! NOTHING WORKED! It seemed almost like a lost cause, so she just accepted defeat, and let the wings do whatever. Why is this happening to me?! All i did was start to read a little bit, and then BOOM! they popped up like they owned the place! Owned me! she glared at the infernal appendages causing her so much trouble. Well, whether you like it or not, spawns of Tartarus, I am determined to sleep tonight! "And that's why I sent a letter to your creator!" She said aloud almost smirking, though probably didn't realize at the time. Almost if in shock, they started to relax, and slowly cling back to her sides. "Yeahh, didn't like that, now did ya?" Her smirk hitting peaks as high as Canterlot, she added another thing. "Good! Because, i'm taking you to her whenever she replies, and if she says yes!" Almost chasing her sister trotting away, Celestia followed Luna walking through the halls with the empty dishes that once adorned cake and ice cream. "Luna, what are you planning?" she asked. With a chuckle, she replied " 'Tis nothing to worry about, dear sister! Honestly, all we will end up doing is making sure you and Twilight are... uninterrupted" she giggled. They almost reached the kitchen, which is what Celestia assumed was the destination considering that her sister was carrying the plates they ate the delicious slice of dessert off of. A sigh of defeat echoed in the halls. "If you promise to leave the explanation to me, and possibly the *coughs* other details, i'll let you do what you want."
