The last thing I heard was a high voice coming through the doorway, saying “Hey, Twilight, who turned out all the lights outside?”, before being slammed back into my own reality. Something hard and on the edge of sharp was poking into my stomach, and, for a moment, I feared the worst. Bolting upright and feeling around my stomach area frantically, I suddenly realized it was just Celestia, cowering in fear. Before I had time to register that, along with the millions of other things that were going through my mind, a furious hand slapped across my cheek.
“OW!” I yelled, one hand flying to my cheek to nurse it while I turned my head to look at who assaulted me.
It was Vannessa, my girlfriend. The one I had never had over. The one that things weren’t supposed to be too serious with. What was she doing here?
“I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know why you’ve got this.. this... THING, in your bed, David. I don’t want to know. But I want YOU to know you’re a sick, sick man, and we’re through. I came over to make sure you were okay since no one’s heard from you for two days and I walk in to see you in bed with an ANIMAL, and with a horn and wings! I don’t know what kind of game you’re playing, David, but you better straighten up. Hopefully soon. Goodbye.”
As she walked out, Tia apparently got fed up with her attitude.
“Hey! I am NOT a thing! I am a Princess! And David is the best caretaker I’ve ever had! He would never mistreat me! How dare you treat him this way?”
Astonished, Vanessa turned around, eyeing Celestia with a mixture of fear and fascination.
“D-... Did you just talk?” She said, her voice trembling.
“Well of course I did! You’d know that, if you only thought to ask before jumping to conclusions! You can’t just make assumptions about people at a single glance! That advances your so called “human race” at a pace so sluggish it borders on embarrassing! Trust is the foundation of a good society; something that should be hard not only to gain, but to defy. Have more faith in a man you care for enough to have an intimate relationship with, why don’t you?” Celestia said, clearly very angered. Her vocabulary always went up by about 5 grade levels when she was upset.
“You... you can talk. And you’re a unicorn... with wings...” She said slowly, like she was deriving some sort of pleasure from it. “Animals aren’t supposed to talk...”
Tia looked over to me with a bored expression, clearly not impressed.
“Are all humans so difficult, or did you just pick her for her looks?”
“Tia!” I said, finally snapping out of my stunned state. “There’s no need to behave that way!”
“Forgive me for being upset that she would assault you simply for taking care of me!” Tia said.
Vanessa, obviously still overwhelmed, suddenly began laughing. Not in an insane way, just a small little chuckle.
“What’s so funny? “ Tia asked, looking at her with a slight look of worry.
“Aww, you’re just a little jealous, aren’t you? Look, I’m sorry I hit David. I was just surprised and upset. And David, I’m sorry I didn’t think things through more. I was just upset because no one had heard from you, and well... I feared the worst.”
Tia turned a bright red, averting her gaze from the both of us. “I’m not jealous, I just care about David, is all.” She humphed. “But I accept your apology.”
“David?” Vanessa said.
“I’m sorry, Vanessa. I just had this dream, I can’t really explain it to you right now, although I guess I’m going to have to eventually. The point is, it just knocked me out a little longer than I expected. I promise I’m not crazy, and I know that this is a lot to take in, but believe me, Tia is always on her best behavior, and she doesn’t exactly have a lot of other places to go to.”
“But how do you take care of her? What about food? What about... using the bathroom?” She said quietly, looking over at Tia.
“Tia?” I asked. “Care to explain?”
“Well, miss, I don’t use the bathroom. All of my so called “waste” is thoroughly processed into magical energy I use to perform my SPECTACULAR FEATS OF ALICORN MAGIC!” she bellowed, her horn flaring up with yellow energy.
Vanessa gasped, backing away in fear.
Sooner than it had flared up with magical energy, Celestia’s horn went back to normal (or at least as normal as a unicorn horn could be), and Celestia began laughing hysterically, as Vanessa’s heart tried to get back to normal.
I tried my hardest to stifle my laughter as Vanessa glared at me through her messed-up black hair, which dangled in her eyes. She looked cute, and I told her so, before looking at Tia, clearing my throat and attempting to sound stern.
“Now, now, Tia, that’s enough fun with Vanessa. No doubt she’s quite stressed out from everything that’s happened. I know I am. So be on your best behavior, for me, okay?” I said, hugging her close.
Oh my God... I suddenly remembered, recalling the final moments of my dream. It’s still eternal night on Twlight’s end. I have to save them, and I have to do it now. But I have to keep calm. No use in panicking Celestia.
“Now, if you both would be so kind as to step out for a moment, I do need to get dressed. Why don’t you two wait out in the hallway and get better acquainted?” I asked, eyeing the door.
They both complied, walking through the doorway and closing it behind me.
----------------------------------------------------------
In the hallway, Celestia and Vanessa stood waiting. It was only a matter of time before one tried to break the ice. Where exactly the other wanted to lodge the icepick, however, had yet to be seen.
“Sooo... Tia, was it?” Vanessa said, trying her best to sound sweet for the sake of David. “You sure are cute, now that I get a good look at you. You said you were a princess?”.
“Indeed. Back on my world, I am highly revered as a tyrannical and ruthless dictator, crushing friend and foe alike underneath my mighty, unforgiving hoof. Thousands of ponies have felt the sting of my cold blade and the might of my army as it unravels their pathetic civilizations at the seams...”
Vanessa paused, a look of worried confusion on her face.
“You... You’re not serious, are you?”
“Of course not! Ponykind has long since lost the need for war. We co-exist in peace and harmony, and I, as their princess, am simply responsible for leading the people and raising the sun.”
“You raise the sun?”
“I sure do. That’s why I’m here in the first place. I abused my power, and my sister banished me to another planet. I landed on David’s doorstep, and he’s been taking care of me ever since. That was 15 years ago.”
Vanessa, still looking at Tia, couldn’t believe her ears.
“Wait, David has had you since he was 20? How has he kept you a secret for so long? What does he do when people visit?”
“I know a spell to make myself invisible, so whenever people have to come over, I just hide away somewhere and make myself invisible until they leave. I don’t need to use the bathroom, and David keeps the house stocked with food. I don’t need to go out.”
“So you’ve been cooped up in this house for 15 years? Don’t you get bored? Claustrophobic? Homesick?”
“Sure I do. But David buys me books and puzzles and other things to keep me stimulated while he has to work, and he plays with me most of the time when I ask. I was locked in a castle before I came here, with nothing to do, so this is actually a nice break.
“So David treats you like his child, of sorts?”
“Of sorts, yes. But he doesn’t love me like a daughter, and I don’t love him like a father. I love him the way I’d love a very special kind of big brother. But he’s better than any big brother could be. He means the world to me, and I can’t imagine going on without him.” She said, looking down with a smile on her face.
“Wow... You really do mean a lot to him, don’t you?”
“I like to think I do. And he means so much to me, too. And you do, too. He talks about you a lot.”
Vanessa felt a little ball form up in her throat, and she looked away from Celestia again.
“He does...?” She asked.
“Indeed. Mind you, nothing terribly dramatic or serious, but I know he’s serious about you.”
The doorknob turned, and the hinges squeaked as I opened the door, fully clothed.
“Hello, ladies. I hope you didn’t miss me too much.” I said, trying my best to continue to sound casual.
Vanessa, in a fit of romance, rushed up and wrapped her arms around me, hugging me close to her. I shot Tia a questioning look. She simply gave me a wink.
Oh dear.....Tia is a little match maker isnt she?
1227113
You know it!
(I couldn't help but add that in there x3)
......oh celestia, you so cool
So... is celestia gonna have a 'mother' now :3?
1227146
I'm thinking of doing a running gag where Celestia and Vanessa have a "rivalry" of sorts. It makes it a little more light-hearted, and I LOVE writing Celestia being all sassy and protective. Do you guys like Celestia that way? Feel free to reply and tell me what you think!
We interupt my Team Fortress 2 Marathon to bring you this new chapter

Wow, Vanessa jumped the gun pretty quick there didn't she. I mean, sure, she was worried about him being missing
for two days but to see "an animal" on his bed and immediately assume he's been screwing it. Seriously, my cat likes to curl up by me when I go to sleep but I don't think someone would walk in and think I'm doing that to her.
1227671
Yeah my cat dose that too
but you cat isn't a colorful pony with a horn and wings
1227671

Well, my thoughts on the matter is that since, as Reggie said, Celestia isn't exactly a household pet, I imagine seeing such an outlandish creature made Vanessa assume the worst, since David had been missing and she let her being upset get the better of her.
That's....creepy as hell. I was just thinking it's about time this story updated and here it is......GET OUT OF MY MIND! You don't know what I put up there!
Another great chapter! Keep it up
This gon b gud.
Oh Celestia, you really do have a mischevious sense of humor!
ThatHandsomeDevil You are doing great work here. Please continue.
Sincerely,
High Treason
P.S. Your avatar cracks me up every time I see it.
MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Ahem* Uhmm, if that's okay with, i mean...
And now, back from the dead, it's me! But let's not forget a friend...

Sup? Ravenmane and I were like "what the hay, it's a chapter" when I asked him about this thing called the internet and I gotta say you need more chapters. The big guy and I are going for cake but you should get something in soon.
1233952
Oh Vinyl, I just don't know how I can say no to you.
So here's my absolute favorite pony to say it for me!

What's up, Vinyl? Loved the show last week! Anyhow, the author's so busy being lazy and finding more pictures of me to put in his collection (Eugh, creepy, right? What a freak.), writing always ends up taking a back-seat. Anyhow, he has no idea when a new chapter will be out, but be patient and I know he'll do his best!
1233991 Hey, I heard something about cake and...

That made me lol.
Excellent work, Mane xD
1234039 I found that Vinyl vector a few weeks ago and the only thing running through my head for about 48 hrs was "I gotta use this somewhere" so I did. I have a second fic with an under construction chapter ready. It'll soon join a rewrite already in progress. The other rewrite is the first part of the story so yeah makes sense to me. Sadly, the under construction chapter has nearly the same joke. The chapter's is funnier though.
Dat assumption... Waiting for MOAR even though this might take a long time to update again...
1227155 Yes
1234133
Don't worry, I don't plan on making a haitus as long as that one ever again, dear reader
I've been off again, on again on writing because I have a very, very, very serious anxiety disorder that reduces me to a sobbing, whimpering mess more often than I'd care to say, and the only thing to do to hold that off is things like playing video games and things of that nature. Sitting down and just writing is a good way to ask for trouble. And don't think I write when I don't feel comfortable doing so; I'd never do that to myself. It's just that I rarely DO feel comfortable writing. But I have FINALLY, finally gotten a leash on my anxiety. It's slowly but surely getting better, so I can finally get back to my life. So hopefully, you won't have to wait as long, although I hope I can continue to write a story worth waiting for

1227155 I'd much rather see an awkward sister relationship...which one is the elder sister? After all, Celestia is more than a thousand years old! (Though she doesn't always act like it...)
1227122
You used my idea!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW FUCKIN' YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Hi there.
To answer your question, the implication is not that he is truly growing younger, Celestia's magic is literally affecting the cells in his body, meaning that while he is technically thirty-seven, it's as if his body is twenty-five years old.
1227671 Dat 'You Sick Bastard' pic... Ahhhh... fuck my life, I am replying to eight week old comments...
1556425
You may have replied to an old comment but I have heard it, and appreciate your lulz.
Please tell me you haven't given up on writing it! I love it so far, and it is getting better still. Personally i don't mind if i goes towards MLD a little (though not too much, i wouldn't want to just re-read MLD over again). So keep it up! Btw, cute Celestia is cute
1560922
Nope, I'd never give up on this story Progress has just been either nonexistent or very slow. But it's not on haitus and it's not going away, so don't worry
1561584
Great :) I'm keeping a watch over this. Good luck!
...so in 15 years, Tia' hasn't discovered the internet? (This could be a good thing, I don't believe the world is ready for Molestia once the evil internet corrupts her)
1561584
It's been about 9 weeks since you've posted that comment.

Goddammit, I know, I'm so sorry, everyone.
Getting a job makes writing fanfiction like wading through molasses. I haven't forgotten about the story, I just really need a day or two to really get a chance to not only be able to write, but want to write. I'm giving myself a deadline: The 20th. Not even that might be enough to get it written, but I don't wanna make you guys wait any longer. Sorry for being so busy/lazy
1934305
Well, I forgive you.
At least this wasn't a My Little Luna, or I would be strangling you for an update!
Trollestia The Beginnings

Be careful, she can become Molestia in this path
