Oh What A Great Morning
Today is going to be a good day, Celestia thought as she opened her eyes.
This was the same thing she said to herself every morning after she awoke, even if she didn't always quite believe it.
Celestia slowly climbed out of bed, her body yearning to stay warm. She put on a robe embroidered in gold with the letter C and made her way to the kitchen, where she knew she would find Luna eating a snack before she headed off to bed.
Pushing open the kitchen doors did indeed reveal Luna, eating an apple custard pie and trying not to make a mess.
"Good morning, Tia!" Luna said, spewing crumbs from her mouth. "Just a small snack before I go to sleep!"
Celestia shook her head, a smile on her lips. “Good, good,” she said, trotting over to the kitchen table in the center of the room. She stood beside her sister and looked down at the delicious pastry that was on the plate.
Mmm, what a wonderful treat to wake up to on a good morning like this, Celestia thought. Maybe she won't mind if I take a bite or two.
Just as she was about to try and take a bite, Luna yawned and set the fork down on the plate, walking off with her slice of pie. "Good night, sister!" she said.
"Good night, Luna," Celestia replied.
When the last of Luna's hooffalls were gone, she quickly opened the fridge for another slice of apple custard pie. Celestia smiled and licked her lips, pulling out the pie and setting it down on the table.
She used her magic to take out a small plate for herself from the cupboard and placed it onto the table. She cut a slice of the custard pie and placed it on the plate.
Celestia's smile grew larger as she grabbed a fork from the rack and shoved it down into the piece of pie. She took a bite, the sweetness gracing her tongue and slipping down her throat.
It didn't take long before the slice was all gone. As much as she wanted more, Celestia knew that wouldn't be a smart idea, so she instead washed the plate and fork and set them on the drying rack.
Celestia walked out of the kitchen and back to her bedroom which led to her bathroom. She turned on the water, filling her ivory bathtub with warm water, and poured in strawberry-scented bath salts.
Celestia let out a sigh of relief as she eased into the water. She breathed in deeply, the strawberry aroma so good that she wanted to eat it. She breathed out, looking up at the ceiling and letting her thoughts flow out, clearing her mind.
“This bath… so refreshing.” Celestia sighed and closed her eyes.
Being at such ease in her bath, she laid there for a few minutes before reluctantly stepping out of the tub.
She wrapped a towel around herself and drained the tub, watching the water flow down the drain, leaving the scent of strawberry behind.
Celestia magically dried her mane and tail and jumped onto her bed. She smiled, looking at the dawn colors of the sky and then at the head of the sun, which was peeping just over the horizon.
She let out small sigh, still smiling, looking down at the colorful sheets of her bed. Celestia then looked back at the sun, smiled and asked, “Time for you to shine, huh? Just a moment.”
She happily slid down from the bed and to her dresser. She looked at all the colorful combs that were neatly placed in front of her. Celestia levitated her four combs, each one a color of her mane, and gently brushed her mane and tail until they were smooth. Celestia then walked over to the glass double-doors, opening them with her magic, and out to the balcony. She closed her eyes and grinned, feeling the cool morning breeze.
After a few minutes of breathing in the fresh air she looked out at the sun that called to her with its light, flaring up above the horizon, begging to be raised.
Celestia gracefully jumped off the balcony and started flapping her wings, taking flight to the heavens above. She flew for a few miles before resting on a cloud and taking hold of it as a fairly strong breeze passed by.
After the breeze had passed, Celestia looked down at the sun. She closed her eyes and breathed in the morning air, slowly rising off the cloud. She gathered her magic from the very core of her being, and it only took a small tap with all of it to send the sun up and on its way.
Celestia landed softly on top another cloud and smiled, watching her work being fulfilled, and saw that it was wonderful. Wonderfully beautiful, in a way only the sun could be.
With much excitement, Celestia flew up higher and glided through the sea of the clear morning sky. The sun rose and the warmth on her coat increased. She spread her fore legs wide, exposing her chest and belly to the sun. The sun princess couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning.
Celestia could not stay in one place for long. The pie had given her energy, albeit short term, and she just had to fly. Pumping her wings, she swooped down to the waters of Neighagra Falls. She flew over its waters, sliding the edge of her wings along the surface.
With great speed, she barreled straight through the Galloping Gorge. Celestia flapped her wings as hard she could and soared back, flying through the rainbow falls of Cloudsdale.
Celestia quickly came up behind the mountain her royal castle was built upon. At such a speed, the adrenaline rush only made her feel better. She pumped her wings even harder, flying up past the peak of the mountain, shooting through the layers of clouds and to a brighter setting, where only she and her precious sun could see each other without any disturbance.
Celestia landed on a cloud and hugged it, burrowing her muzzle into its soft and fluffy texture. She turned onto her back and looked up at the bright and beautifully lit sky, showing all of the great shades of blue.
“So beautiful…” Celestia said, closing her eyes. She breathed the fresh air in deeply and smiled. The princess let the sun’s rays warm her and let her thoughts once again go, and she relaxed peacefully on the cloud, drifting through the heavenly skies.

4258759 Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much for commenting. You know I was actually looking for your picture to link the story back to you. XD If anything, you should really thank my friend Pump It Up she helped with the whole idea of the story. :D
4255216 Thank you so much for commenting. Much appreciated!
My friend Pump It Up helped greatly with the story :3
4260614
Please along my thanks to him as well
At last! A story that finally reveals the normal, daily routine of our beloved Princess.
However, I do feel like this could have been a bit longer but the scene where she's taking a bath does give me and idea....
I must say, this a well written story and I really enjoyed it. Albeit for someone who says that my stories are one to admire and I'm just an amateur. This my friend, is a truly wonderful little slice of cake and I think I just took a pretty big mouthful of it.
I look forward to seeing what other stories you write!
4272994 Wow, I'm happy you enjoyed it and I'm really flattered by your words of kindness but Pump It Up really did the magic in helping me complete it :3
You know we could do a collab whenever you have some time :3 I have other oneshots :)
4273006
I would love to do a collab
I actually have way too much time on my hands seeing as I'm on a break. So if you have any ideas you would like to share with me just send me a PM 
4273014 Perfect :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally a great story! I've just read like 10 bad stories in a row and this one got rid of my bad mood!
4280722 I'm really glad you enjoy it. If you could thank my friend Pump It Up for the great help she put into this story, I would greatly appreciate it :3 Thank you for reading.
4280848 I'll be sure to do that right away!

4342563 Oh what a sweet surprise! To finally have a story in Twilight's Library for the first time.
Hey 4255308, get a load of what our story got us. Thank you very much for this SirTruffles, much appreciated.
4342570
You're very welcome
4342570
Cool!
Short and sweet, just like a Powerpuff girl.
Have a green thumb.
4352165 Heh heh, thanks. Pump It Up and I worked hard on it.
A lovely little story. Do you think you two could do a sequel/second chapter with Luna?
A lovely little slice of life. I enjoyed it most smoothly.
Jake the Dog tho...
*ahem* anyway ....
I love love LOVE Slice of Life stories (and art!) that explores life in its simplest form. Celestia goes through her morning rituals and gives you a look into her mind, and it is glorious! I really loved the bit with Luna the most. Best sister. Best.
That was rather nice. A good illustration of how a short story can be interesting without requiring death or destruction or divers alarums.
Now this is a nice fic.
Nice little fic. The Dude abides (Heh, couldn't help myself
)
This was a beautiful little slice of life story. Well done.

You're welcome!

That'd be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind doing that.
(Yay for late replies!
)
Hmm. A little unrealistic for my own headcanon, given that Celestia would probably be waited on hand and foot (head to hoof?) as opposed to getting her own food, but my headcanon can go lay in the corner and shove it. This was very nice. Well done!
6926641 Thanks. :) You should thank 4255308 for helping me with the story. She's a great writer herself. ;3
6926715 Aw, thank you!
