Anoter new participant in the Lightning Round, but still not a new participant to Twilestia, welcome corvipony!



Twilight sat in her study one stormy night. Listening to the rain hit the roof of the old treehouse library, the rain always made her thoughts wander and most times she found herself thinking about Her… Celestia. She knew her well, and had this little fantasy that one day they were meant to be but Twilight knew her better.

She knew her too well to keep her heart on her sleeve so she vowed to resist her fantasies, her hopes and her dreams. Sometimes though she swore Celestia would look at her like she knew she was the mare of Twilight’s dreams. But she was likely just hoping too hard that it was meant to be 

With a sigh Twilight took a long sip of the tea she had at her desk and closed the book she had been staring at for the last hour without really reading it, lost in her own head.  She looked at her teapot and realized it was the one Celestia had gotten her for her birthday a year past and gently ran a hoof over the smooth clay and remembered that day. Over the years the Princess had shared many cups of tea her protégé and they both shared that love of the leaf. 

She wondered should she give it one try? Or should just resist? She also wondered if it was better to have loved and lost than not tried love at all? She stood from the oaken stool and paced her study trying to think and decide what was the best course of action on this matter. She thought about it a long long time but the truth remained, she couldn’t believe she could be so blind. She imagined it, one look at the scene she imagined was all it took, first time she laid her eyes on Celestia it was all her dreams came true and she knew she never wanted to let her go, and she was the only one for her. Celestia never let her down before so why not take the chance? She paced the floor more as the rain fell and she noticed something wet on her face. She was crying at the thought of being able to hold Celestia and never letting her go but… She realized that she would have to at some point, for she was just a mortal unicorn and the alicorn had ruled for over 1000 years, so even though she couldn’t stop the rain and couldn’t stop herself from loving her. She could stop her herself from hurting her love by leaving her alone when she passed on, so with tears streaming down her face she vowed to resist her own heart.
