Why Twilight?

Fluttershy's Cottage

Chapter 6

Once they arrived at the cottage Fluttershy turned on the lights and put her animals to bed, so they wouldn't disturb the other mares. Once they all got settled in the deep discussion began.

"Alright y'all let's begin with Fluttershy," AJ suggested.

"Yes Fluttershy go right ahead," Rarity said pushing her on.

"Oh, uh, well I actually don't mind much. I am proud of her," Fluttershy explained.

"There must be more!" Rainbow explained.

"Yeah!" Pinkie agreed.

"Well, there is... But I don't want to hurt Twilight's feelings," Fluttershy explained to the mares.

"She is the ONLY one of us who got turned into a princess," exclaimed Pinkie.

"Come now Fluttershy, she will never hear of this. You would make an excellent princess of kindness," Rarity claimed.

"I know but..." Fluttershy went on.

"But what? Twilight got the honor of bein' a princess why can't her friends that helped her?" Applejack explained. Fluttershy felt a little pressured by her friends and didn't know what to do, but she very well knew her true opinion about it. She would like to be a princess and help protect Equestria with all of her heart. After all this was a place FULL of animals she could protect.

"Okay I guess I could make a good princess of kindness. But I don't want to steal Twilight's attention. After all we are suppose to listen to her, and look up to her," Fluttershy explained.

"Well I know I would LOVE to be the princess of loyalty! Except I wouldn't really want to become an alicorn," explained Rainbow Dashy.

"I wouldn't mind being the princess of honesty. But I am fine, good ol' me. Although a horn would make apple bucking a whole lot easier," Applejack said.

"I could totally see myself as an alicorn, and the princess of laughter," Pinkie imagined herself as an alicorn.

"Well I could deal with the work and the glam of being a princess. I mean who wouldn't want to be the princess of generosity," Rarity finally said.

"Then it's agreed. We will all see the princess about this soon," AJ decided.

"Which princess?" Pinkie asked.

"The one who made her a princess," Applejack explained.

"Princess Celestia?" Pinkie asked. Just to make sure.

"Yes. We will see when she is open for lunch," Applejack said.

Rarity said, "Tomorrow we will check. Tonight girls get some rest."

"Alright, good night everypony," Fluttershy said as they left.

"Good night Fluttershy," the mares said in reply.

Author's Note:

Thank you for everyone who commented. I am not exactly the best at this... This is my first story, but I am working on the advice from the ponies who left comments. My next chapter will have more drama and be longer. Although it may take a while to get it out.

Umm why did you feel you needed to make each paragraph a chapter? Honestly I know it's a formatting complaint but I don't think you needed 6 separate documents these could have been one chapter.

The core question you're asking here is a powerful one, but the presentation isn't the greatest. These scenes have little or no conflict. Rarity asks if her friends agree with her, and her friends say yes, and everyone is always happy. It's repetitive, and there's no drama or struggle to draw in a reader.

I think the reasons why she became an Princess were:
1- She is the student of Princess Celestia and thus the Princess trusts her, that is not to say she distrusts the other elements, but she knows Twilight better.
2- Twilight has connections, her brother and her foalsitter are all very influential and powerful ponies, and there is the possibility that Twilight's family belongs to the nobility.
3-She was born and spent most of her life in Canterlot, so while she may not be the most sociable of ponies, she most likely knows how to behave in court already.
4-Twilight so far is the only one that would actually care about being an princess, Applejack loves applebucking and her family too much, Pinkie Pie would only care about partying, Rarity would care more about fashion and the fact that she can hang around nobles to care much about anything else, Rainbow Dash would just care about being awesome and her ideas of how to run Equestria would likely be impractical or worthless because she would only care about her ideas being "awesome", Fluttershy would spend more time caring about animals(something that she can already do as an pegasus) and she would probably be too kind by trying to please everypony and spending more money that she should by doing so.
5-Twilight is more knowledgeable that the other girls, meaning that she has probably studied various subjects that are very important to run Equestria, like economy,sociology,psychology(to try to figure out Pinkie Pie) and many other subjects, that is not to say the other girls are dumb, but Twilight has more knowledge and is smart with an good head on her shoulders...when she is not freaking out but that can dissapear with time.
6-Twilight is very organized, the life of an Princess is hectic and is probably organized by the minute,so organizational skills are probably very important and the only one of the girls that even has an schedule in her life is Rainbow Dash for her job, but even then her organization skills pale in comparison to Twilight's.
7-Twilight has the most important element of all,Magic(why else would the element of magic be the only one that is an crown), being the very embodiment of Friendship, and something that all ponies possess, meaning that her element is the ONE TRAIT that all of ponykind possesses(after all, not all ponies are generous,loyal,kind,honest or do not have an sense of humor)

There are probably more reasons,but those are the ones i remember.

I wish you would make them a bit longer, though I understand that it's you first story.

One comment. I seriously get the point you're putting across, just try not to draw it out. :3 I love the idea though. I hope they get what they want or at least some form of repayment. They do help Twilight a LOT and if I wasn't for RD and FS Twilight would be dead. Wait a second, Vinyl Scratch that. Without All of them Twilight would be dead by now. Dashie is Best Pony.

Germgod I am not trying to hate on the fact that Twilight is the princess. I do agree she will make a great princess I am just trying to show what her friends might feel if they weren't in the show. Again not trying to hate.
