In the end, the prices we pay are worth what we receive in return - and none understand this more than a certain pegasus mare.

Twilight breaks Celestia's doors.

But then, you'd be mad too, if your stupid brother got drunk and told you that you were adopted...

Cherry Berry is an earth pony. Sometimes. And that's not the least of her problems; her insomnia is getting worse, and she can't keep her secret to herself any longer.

EDIT: Likely to get a second chapter soon, as people have asked for one.

Twilight Sparkle isn't feeling too well, and it is up to Princess Celestia to nurse her back to health. It would be a simple task, if not for the fact that her student was thirteen years old with an uncontrollable amount of magic.

To make matters worse, six years ago Celestia was forced to shrink Twilight to 1/100th of her size so that her untamed magic wouldn't be a threat to Equestria. She would have to remain tiny until she would learn how to control her enormous power.

But surely a two millenia old alicorn with enough magic to destroy a small mountain can handle her littlest, fragile and most magical subject... right... right?

This sidestory takes place between chapters 4 and 5 in Celestia's Tiny Student.

Special thanks for pre-reading to ambion, I took some inspiration from his story called melt, worth checking it out for additional dose of cuteness.

Marble Pie: The quietest of the Pie siblings. Really, that's all anypony can attribute to the mare, and she knows it. After overhearing some choice words from her family, Marble decides it's time to do something about it. It's time to go out and find her strength, to be strong for her family. Pinkie and Maud both succeeded when they left the farm, so why can't she?

A journey to Ponyville brings her to a literal legend of strength, the Pillar Rockhoof himself. Marble knows that through his teachings, she's sure she can become strong, strong enough to do...well. She's sure he can help her figure that out too! They'll all see! Limestone, Igneous, Maud and Pinkie; they'll all see Marble can become somepony great! What Marble isn't prepared for, though, is the truth Rockhoof helps her to unearth about herself. And what it truly means to be strong.

They say that love knows no boundaries. This is the story of a pony in love. In love with a creature that, to most of ponykind, is nothing but a frightening, dangerous, deceptive, emotion-eating parasite. A creature that consumes love, and never returns it.

But what ponies say and what the truth is can be very different things. One pony makes the fateful decision to ignore the voices of society and family, and listen to the voice within...
