Celestia yawned as she woke up for the second time that day. It had taken careful scheduling, but the nap had been absolutely crucial. Between her nerves about having to fight a wraith and then sealing much of Twilight’s power, she had been left feeling drained. Though, it was a great excuse for a day off. I should find and befriend powerful entities more often. “Especially cute little ones like that ghost.”
A soft sigh escaped her lips as she dwelled on the thoughts. The mare’s immortality was useful to Celestia, but she doubted she would have enough time to actually bond with her. Not when I have to teach Sunset and run a kingdom. Well, perhaps someday, especially if Starswirl’s prediction is right. She stopped for a moment and looked into the sky. “Wouldn’t that be nice sister.”
She then shook her head clear of such thoughts. Even though it was her day off, she knew better than to waste it. She started to trot through the halls, politely asking servants where her young pupil was. None could give her a location, though that wasn’t too surprising as Celestia had expected the Sunset and Twilight to try to find somewhere private to stay together.
However, by the time she had searched the castle twice over, even a ruler as wise and experienced as her was feeling her patience strain. With a cup of coffee in one hoof, her horn started to glow. The search spell slowly grew in size, as well as in how taxing it was. It has been far too long since I’ve had to use this much magic in only a few days. It isn’t even my fault. Diplomacy doesn’t give a lot of opportunities for razing a mountain. At least there is cake and the odd princess looking to further her diplomatic career through their own cake inflated thighs and-
Ding!
Celestia snapped out of her thoughts of momentary delights and started laying down mental maps of where her seal on the wraith was. Just past the deeper parts of the library, underneath Jet Set’s house, just about where–
Servants in the castle almost were killed by Celestia’s mad dash through the corridors. Plates were sent flying and crashing down, three bookshelves were sent tumbling to the floor, and six doors flattened the ponies about to open them as Celestia almost broke the sound barrier. Sunset and Twilight looked up as the sound of Cockroaches scattering filled the corridors. The sound of flagstones cracking came from just outside just before the two small forts were thrown away from their occupants.
“Hey!” Both mares scowled at the princess who was heaving heavily. Sunset grabbed one of the books and started to bring it back to herself. Celestia promptly grabbed it and found an old version of the necronomicon in front of her. Sunset was promptly picked up and dragged away. “Hey!”
“Um, is something the matter?”
Celestia sighed as she continued to trot away. “First, Sunset, what have I said about dark magic?”
Sunset huffed. “Nothing.” She immediately winced once the necronomicon was put upside her head. “No dark magic, I know!”
Celestia couldn’t help but get a smile at her student’s juvenile behavior. “As for both of you, you can hang out tomorrow, and by hang out, I mean do something other than read silently.”
Twilight immediately snuggled against one of the discarded tomes and hissed at her, just before also getting grabbed and pulled away. “No!”
Celestia simply shook her head as Sunset glared at her and Twilight continued to wrestle and whine about her books. And here I thought life was going to get easier. She was proven just how right as half her face suddenly got a lot colder and heavier and she smacked both of them with the necronomicon.
Twilight and Sunset pulling pranks on the guards and servants??
Does anyone else find it funny that Celestia just got smacked with the Necronomicon?

I think Celestia smacked Twilight and Sunset with the Necronomicon. Not sure if it had the same effect on Twilight, although as a magic book, it could count as a magic weapon...
Celestia is also a lot more prone to violence so far.
I could see this turning into another "defeat Nightmare Moon" story, only Twilight gets to be the Spike. As far as shenanigans... Celestia has a pet phoenix who loves to play practical jokes. Fire and Ice vs. more Fire? Or would Philomena and Sunset team up against Twilight?
This has the potential to be either a wonderful story, or just another bad fanfiction. So far you're doing well, keep that shit up!
I'd like to see Sunset trying to teach Twilight the nuances of the modern world. As one shut in to another.
5878391 She checked out books from the forbidden part of the library too, but too few people go back there to have ever noticed.
I thought it was "Starswirl"?
5878399 Ah. Forbidden books. That's the best kind. Ancient and filled with forbidden knowledge. Now I want to see Twilight get mad and going all Dark Wraith/Revenant but only do petty things with her dark magic.
As a ghost, Twilight can turn invisible and fly through walls and stuff. I'd love to see her and Sunset leveraging this for some pranks on the castle staff! Maybe in the process Twilight could accidently come across the children of the nightmare and uncover a plot against Celestia.

Twilight finding some living relatives and ruining their image of their ancestors with stories?

Oh the trouble these two will get into, so much mischief!
Looks like Celestia just adopted a new headache.
The funny thing is I can actually picture Twilight curled up with a book and hissing about being disturbed.

Was this at ALL inspired by the following comic, or was it ONLY that person's comment?

And if it ain't them it's a group of teenagers and there pet snooping around interrupting you reading time it's not my fault that sometimes the books I read open portals to hellish dimensions whenever there so much as opened.
And the worst part is that I'm know stuck not this damn straight jacket seriously this sucks I have to type with my feet.
