Changes - The 8-Bit Flame Princess

Changes

by

Celestia was used to order. To things going the way she planned, ponies listening to her- after all, she was their ruler.

Chaos had never appealed to her. She liked her routine and she planned to stick with it for another thousand years.

Though, their was a part of her routine that got a bit ... Lonely, to put it nicely.

She was awake during the day, and should be asleep during the night, but her mind was active, rearing to go, ready for excitement and wonder.

But she was alone during this time. Her sister was working, and she had next to no friends or colleagues that she could consider spending this time with.

However, there was a certain appeal in disguising herself and mingling with regular ponies. It was definitely interesting seeing how they treated and thought about her when she wasn't wearing a crown.

And, if in these escapades she did happen to have somepony take her home, well, it was an advantage. A very pleasant advantage.
But she'd never in her wildest dreams think she'd be picking up someone she knew - and then Rarity came along and spotted her in the crowd right away, seeing straight through her mask.

Celestia did always appreciate those who saw her for who she was.

She'd also never think that this arrangement would be semi-permanent. Then again, the whole point of this exercise was to change her schedule.

Maybe "Rarity-time" was a decent addition to her timetable.
