Part 4
"Now that's somethin' Ah didn't expect to see. D'ya need any help in there?"
Rainbow Dash laughed. “Let me guess. You dreamed of becoming a trophy, but exposed the wrong side by mistake.”
Rarity’s face turned red, though nopony could see it. “This is not what it looks like.”
“Do you… need some help?” Steel Blade asked, staring openly.
“Do Ah need to pull ya like a carrot or somethin’?” Applejack asked in a mocking tone while Rainbow Dash tried to restrain her laughter.
Rarity pressed her forehooves against the wall and pushed. After a few seconds, she freed her head with a loud cracking noise as fragments of the wall decorated her neck and horn.
“Ah see yer tryin' a new fashion thingy. Ah reckon it's an outdoors thingy, 'cause indoors, well, you bring the door in with ya.”
Rarity frowned before removing her unwanted decoration with her hooves and magic, dirting her clean floor as the result. The mud still present on Dash’s and Applejack’s hooves dropping onto the floor quickly fueled her frustration.
“Right. So. We’re looking for Twilight, who’s still being chased around town over a gala ticket. Could we ask for your assistance?” Steel Blade ventured, bravely getting between the mares before the situation could escalate.
The fashionista grit her teeth as she looked over the room. Cleaning it and fixing the hole in the wall now added to her to-do-list. After taking a few calming breaths, she said, “I will gladly help in resolving this issue.”
“Yer… not mad?” Applejack asked.
“Of course not,” she responded while forcing a smile. If she was going to ever become the better pony she wished to be, she couldn’t let such trivial events annoy her.
With the little unicorn nowhere to be found and the crowd dispersed, the pack arrived back home where they regrouped with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, who had joined Spike’s and Overwatch’s tea party.
A fuming Angel was sitting in the corner of the room with crossed paws and half-closed eyes. News of the extra tickets only worsened his mood as all his efforts, even being flattened by the mob of ponies, were all for nothing.
Overwatch set down the teapot after pouring yet another cup and shoving another piece of cake in her mouth. “Hey, Phteelie,” she said, still chewing. “Twineeth’s bach.”
Steel Blade started, looking at his partner suspiciously before glancing out the window. Sure enough, a tiny purple blob could be seen approaching from around a distant house.
He turned back to the charcoal mare. “Okay, how did you do that?”
“Eathee,” Overwatch said, before finally swallowing and sipping at her tea nonchalantly. “The air has the distinctive taste of peaches and raspberries. Very delightful. Goes well with the tea.”
At this, Fluttershy also turned to Overwatch, an eyebrow raised. She tentatively drew in a breath, holding it for a moment as she continued to level a calculating glare at the guard mare.
Overwatch simply beamed back at the butter-yellow pegasus.
Steel Blade rolled his eyes. “Figures you wouldn’t give me a straight answer,” he said, before rushing outside to Twilight’s aid alongside a panicked dragon, his partner and the rest of Twilight’s friends.
Noticing them, Twilight galloped before appearing in a flash of teleportation in front of their hooves.
The group looked down at the tiny unicorn in pity as the tired mare collapsed onto the ground, sweat covering her entire body. Twilight raised her head with some effort and looked in the eyes of Rainbow Dash and smiled. “I just,” Twilight took a deep breath, her lungs desperate for air after the torment she endured, “beat an entire town… in a game of tag.” She took another deep breath and pointed her trembling hoof at the pegasus. “Just wait, Rainbow Dash, y-your defeat is coming f-faster than you... t-t-think.”
Applejack gave her pegasus friend a questioning glance. “Mind kindly tell us what’s tha’ all about?”
Rainbow Dash raised her head proudly and responded, “It’s one of those games we athletes play to compete with each other, you wouldn’t understand.”
“Come again?” Applejack asked with a stomp. “Are ya sain’ Ah’m not good enough to be an athlete? Did ya forgot yer humiliating defeats during our hoof-wrestle and wrestle in the mud?"
Overwatch giggled. “I remember that! Very entertaining, I might add.” At the surprised glances from the arguing ponies, she added, “Protecting Twilight is my job. Barring exceptional circumstances like vacation, cake, and angry-moon-goddess-bringing-about-nighttime-eternal, I’m always keeping an eye on Twilight. Also, I won ten bits from Steelie thanks to you.”
Steel Blade let out a deep sigh. “Hey, you have to believe sometimes.”
“Yeah, and your faith led you to ruin and despair,” Overwatch continued with an evil cackle. “You should know better than to bet on a pegasus beating an earth pony in a strength contest.”
Dash pressed her muzzle against Applejack’s and said, “Just wait ‘til I get my earth pony stuff mastered and kick your flank.”
“Yer welcome to try,” Applejack responded with a determined look.
Spike rolled his eyes before bypassing the group and gently picking up Twilight.
Pinkie Pie jumped over the group, landing in front of them and said, “I’m really sorry for my big mouth, I was so excited that I didn’t think about your feelings. I was a really bad friend, can you forgive me?”
“There’s nothing to forgive,” Twilight answered as she looked at her energetic friend from her spot lying down in Spike’s hands. “I do lots of silly things when I am excited, and besides, it was fun.”
Pinkie smiled cheerfully and was about to hug the little mare, but Spike walked backward in time to avoid it and shoot Pinkie a glare of disapproval.
Fluttershy slowly emerged from behind Pinkie Pie and lowered herself to Twilight’s level. “And I am really sorry for cleaning your room just to get the ticket.” Angel kicked a pebble before sitting next to Fluttershy’s left foreleg.
“Please, stop apologizing, I understand.” Twilight added cheerfully, “Besides, I already decided to give you the ticket since Rarity refused.”
The shy pegasus rubbed her foreleg nervously. “Oh… about that.” She glanced at Rarity in worry and asked, “Should we tell her?”
Rarity nodded and took a few elegant steps forward. “Darling, the lack of tickets is not a problem any longer. Princess Celestia send additional ones for each of us alongside an apology letter.”
“What?” Twilight shouted, almost jumping from her spot before reasserting herself in Spike’s embrace. “When did she send it?”
Upon receiving glances from the rest of the group, Spike blushed. “Well, about that…”
***
Spike took Twilight back into the library and put her exhausted body into her basket, which was now equipped with a pillow that served Twilight as bed for past thirteen years. The young drake expected the reunion between the pillow and his pony mother sooner or later, but was surprised it would be delivered so quickly.
“Twilight, I am really really sorry, it fell over behind the bed when I was sleeping,” Spike started before showing Twilight the scroll and additional tickets as now all of Twilight’s friends and guards with him included had one.
Without wasting a moment, the little unicorn beamed and levitated over the letter to read it, curiosity and excitement overcoming her exhaustion.
My Dearest Little Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.
I would like to apologize and tell you the entire truth behind the tickets I had sent you.
I know that you have five great friends and Spike, who is like son to you. Yet, I sent you only two tickets to the ‘Grand Galloping Gala’ despite my sister’s wishes to invite them all.
The true reason why I did such a shameful thing is because I wanted to teach you and your friends a lesson. I wished to see how you would react when forced to choose between your friends while being able to please only one.
In the end I was going to send all the tickets anyway.
I am deeply sorry for this manipulative act and I hope you can forgive me.
I also hope that I managed to send you additional tickets before their lack caused any trouble.
I wish you best of luck on this new chapter of your life.
Your Forever Grateful Mentor, Princess Celestia.
Twilight smiled as she rolled the huge scroll and levitated it into the chest next to the bed. A few firm words left her mouth, “Spike, take a letter.”
In a burst of green flames, a letter appeared in the air and fell onto the floor, catching the attention of a certain princess as a midnight-blue aura surrounded it.
“What is this?”
Slowly, the letter unrolled as two curious eyes started reading it. “It appears that thy student has finally responded to thine apology letter. Would you like to hear what she wrote?”
Feeling a few movements under her silver shoe, she smirked and read aloud.
“Dear Princess Celestia,” Luna started as she took deep breath and continued.
“I am afraid that the additional tickets, as well as the letter, has arrived when I most likely left to visit my friend Applejack for my first day of studies on the topic of earth pony magic. I must say I was surprised by their reaction when I mentioned that I had two tickets.” Luna raised her eyebrow as she felt the alicorn crawling from under her hoof and looked down, seeing her tiny sister’s head emerge a little from under the shoe. “It seems that thy apology letter arrived a bit late, sister.”
“Luna!” Celestia yelled while still feeling the undying metal pinning her to the floor. “It is not very polite to read other ponies’ correspondences.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Luna mocked as she gave her sister a disappointed glare. “As thy trainer, We must take direct action when teaching thou about honesty and heal thee from thy manipulative ways. We cannot ignore a letter that thine student sent after thou had lied to her.”
Celestia bit her lip before sighing in defeat, now listening to Luna who was reading the letter from her student. Despite feeling a bit uncomfortable under the weight, she decided to accept her sister’s punishment as it was a fair trade for the exciting adventure they had earlier today. Celestia winced at the unpleasant feeling coming from her healed wounds. Maybe ordering her guards to use lethal force wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Luna turned back to the letter and continued, “All of my friends desired to go to this awful party no matter how much I tried to convince them otherwise, while Rarity, who I expected would love to attend, has learned an important lesson about generosity, giving up her life's dream for her friends. As for me, I still think that this party will turn into a disaster, but I am going to stick by their side.” Luna chuckled at the sentence she noticed next, catching her sister’s attention.
“PS: Once the ponies in Ponyville learned I had two tickets, I ended up playing in the biggest and longest game of tag in my entire life. I can proudly say I have defeated an entire town, and if I keep practicing, I may one day defeat Rainbow Dash and become the unbeaten world champion at it.” Luna lowered the letter to the ground as she spoke the last line, “Your Little Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.”
Celestia’s ears fell as she smiled awkwardly while her bigger sister looked down at her.
“Thou hast caused quite a disturbance in this peaceful town, sister.”
Celestia took a deep breath, even though as an alicorn she didn’t need to breathe to survive, something her sister proved by enduring a thousand years banishment on the moon. “There was a happy ending. So... no hard feelings?”
Celestia’s hopes were crushed the moment Luna levitated the hourglass, which counted her 15 minutes of punishment. Half of the sand that had already passed through was levitated back to the top. Celestia released her breath and lowered her head, feeling cold floor making contact with the lower part of her muzzle.
“We wish to expand the time of punishment for the trouble thy action caused, dear sister. Unless thou got tired of us squeezing out thy manipulative ways?"
Celestia grit her teeth and put more strength into her legs as she lifted Luna’s foreleg slightly. Feeling the weight of a giant leg on her back for so long was rather uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to end this, quite the opposite. Was it her desire to regain her sister’s trust? Was it her student resolve to fight against any challenge that inspired her? No, it was more than that. Maybe her guilt for banishing her sister for a thousand years that haunted her for an millennium, an inner desire to be judged, to be punished for all her mistakes she made during her long rule.
The realization struck her like lightning. She wanted to be judged, to have a pony point out her mistakes. She wanted her sister to have her revenge, to make her happy. For the first time in a millennium she had a pony who could tell her what she’s doing wrong, who could inflict a proper punishment suitable for an alicorn of her power.
“I trust your judgement, Luna. After all you had to endure, this punishment is a mercy. Even at my size, my body is full of power and my punishment should be heavy so I can learn from it.” Celestia looked at her sister while drops of sweat were falling down her face, easily noticing a cheerful smile. “You are really enjoying it, sister?”
“We would be lying if We said We didn’t,” Luna answered as she put more strength into her hoof, overpowering Celestia’s resistance and silencing her for the time being. Aside from feeling pleasure from being atop her sister for once, in more ways than one, was something she wasn’t proud of. She also felt pride towards Celestia, knowing that she was more than willing to accept punishments and atone for her mistakes.
7085264 Sorry, made that too vague. I was referring to Cadence's lesson for the three guards she was training with. I'm assuming they were the same ones that picked on Twilight before.
I come off too cryptic sometimes without meaning to. It's a bad habit of mine.
I am not making that joke.
I am not making that joke.
I am not making that joke.
I am not making that joke.
I am not making that joke.
I am not making that joke.
So, Celestia is secretly not a domme but a sub then? O.o
7085398 Someone just did it for you.
7085398
7085449
7085493
I don't really get the joke. I suppouse my limited vocabulary is at fault.
7085530
That part.
7085530 This is one of those times where ignorance is bliss.
I'm strangely turned on by that ending.
7085531 I'm not sure she can shrink and grow herself back and forth at will, or not easily enough that she won't end up magically exhausted or at least expending a pretty hefty chunk of magic.
Twilight can GROW at will.
Just not shrink.
And she prefers small.
Luna's acting like an ass. I get that she's got a number of issues, is operating by a moral code 1,000 years out of date, and is nursing a grudge against Celestia, but still...
Reading someone else's private letters is a bigger violation of trust than tricking people into coming together for the sake of a game, one that due to the oft-repeated alicorn durability wasn't really that dangerous. That was the sort of minor manipulation that really doesn't deserve punishment at all--to a degree, everyone manipulates one another. She lied, yeah, but it was a genuinely harmless white lie.
As for the attempt to force a friendship lesson--frankly, learning how to share a limited resource is important to know for almost any sort of group relations. If it wasn't over something as minor as a ticket--one soon to be followed by a half-dozen more--then it would be over something more serious later, without a safety net. The holder of the resource needs to learn that they can't please everyone and to prioritize to those that need it the most, while those who want it learn the consequences that careless actions have on their friend.
On a more personal level, Twiny still needs to get the hang of this whole "asking for help when there's a problem she can't solve on her own" thing.
for updates,
why do I have feeling the Gala going to be worst then it is normal with twiny.....
7085531 if the side stories are completely cannon she can slowly uncast the spell to grow and stop somewhere between her current size and her normal size. She can't shrink herself again without Celestia though.
The one time she grew herself to the size of a house cat she didn't know her own strength and hurt a couple ponies (and some brickwork). If she were to grow back to normal size it's likely her power would be strong enough to lift several Hydra's but her telekinesis would like crush anything her size. So she's scared of that.
Plus once she did that there would be nothing that could test her strength. As it is everyday makes her stronger. Everyday at normal size would make her weaker.
7085531
Twilight is already too overhelmed with researching of Luna's blessing, learning earth pony magic, discovering that she have more than 1 branch of magic in herself and the fact that it is her first day in Ponyville. I am not sure she have time to look into her size-change adaptation issue.
7085586
I hope not in the bad way. Did you disliked that ending?
7085600
Twilight can return to her full size at any-time, however she doesn't have enough power to shrink herself without princess's assistance. So she would need to visit her mentor and ask to be shrunk again if she changed her size.
7085622
7085664
Keep in mind that in this AU, the Elements didn't heal Luna/Nightmare Moon's hate. Luna still cannot fully forgive Celestia for the mistakes of the past, so it is a good enough reason to be bitter about it.
I know she may act a bit like an ass, but the reasons you said yourself are actually a good reason to act like this. Besides, Luna is taking such actions only if her sister lie or manipulate her subjects, and got quite a beating during the game Celestia came up with.
Luna fairly determined the ammount of time of punishment according to how much her sister's idea caused problems, so 15 minutes isn't really all that much when compared to the game of hunter and prey between recruits and tiny alicorns.
Alright, I must agree with you on reading someone's correspondence, that was a bit mean move. However can you blame Luna for wanting to know what Twilight's reaciton was to Celestia's appology? She's very curious about Twilight after all.
Heh. This one won't be all that easy to crack.
And que the perverted fantasies.
7085530 They're implying this (That's Wikipedia, but Teen level pictures)
After I read this chapter...
I think Luna and Celestia will enjoy 5nn together, Luna is 5 and Celestia is nn.
7086037
It seems many people notice it.
Awk.
That moment when I realized that I probably could've caught the unfortunate implications if I wasn't spending strictly less time editing (and spending strictly more time being sad about being waitlisted).
I can't tell if keeping them is terrible or hilarious.
The relationship between Celestia and Luna is... interesting. I'm eager to see how the Gala goes, but can Twilight introduce Rarity to the decent nobles like Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis??? And personally introduce Rainbow Dash to Spitfire???? Make good use of those connections she made early on in life.
7085892 It was a good ending but I must say you made Celestia out to be a bit of a slut or someone who wants to be "punished", and not in the disciplinary way.
7086202
It happens.
Regardless, there is a scene or two with Overwatch and Steel Blade in chapter 3, and this chapter is only 4k words long without break into parts. I hope you can look into them.
7087273
I suppouse Cadence would keep this option as her last resort since the recruits clearly had no idea who they were dealing with. She wouldn't want to take advantage of her relationship with Captain of the Royal Guard after all.
7087304
She probably will at some point, you will have to wait and see.
As for Celestia and Luna's relationship, it may seem rather odd, but it may improve overtime cosidering that Celestia is willingly playing along with Luna's odd punishments. Besides. It's still better that Luna punish Celestia for her trickstery ratheer than create a powerful being so she could punish herself every night out of guilt. At least it won't cause a world-ending scenario.
7087407
Sorry, it wasn't my intention.
What I tried to do was to show that for thousand of years, Celestia felt guilty about what she did to Luna, yet there was no pony above her that would punish her for her actions. With her sister banished, she had no point equal or above her to point out her mistakes. After hurting Twilight on many occasions by accident, she wanted to pay somehow for her mistakes, yet her student refused. After learning that banishing her sister wasn't even necesery as world was not in danger, her guilt only skyrocket, so now she feel obligated to make up to Luna by any means necesery. Being punished in harsh way for her mistakes seems refreshing to her as this is what she wanted for past centuries.
I didn't want to present Celestia as slut, but as someone overhelmed with guilt who wanted to be punished for her mistakes for once. Pity that I failed. And don't exacly know how to fix that in this part.
7087463 Give it more of a "I need to atone for my wrong doings" vibe, instead of a "I need to be punished". It needs to be capitalised that Celestia feels guilty for all of her misdeeds and that Luna is acting as her disciplinary officer, almost like Celestia is doing community service. I would imagine with the way Luna has been set up in your story, she would wish that other people do not get manipulated by her sister so she would get them to offer punishment as well, offering any sort of retribution that is felt necessary by the people who she affect with her manipulations.
I'm sure others will have plenty of tips to help you as well, so I would recommend asking around to see what others think.
Umm... That the last section seems to sound a bit more... Erm... Suggestive than I think your going for...
Having Celestia focus on the punishment rather than guilt makes it sound more like a kink... And that brings up all sorts of further taboo suggestions since she's asking her sister and not Cadance. I mean, I understand both sisters motivations perfectly well still, but it comes from how you wrote the previous stories and not this particular arc.
I'm not saying you have to change anything, because I get that part of it is the joke, but you may want to rephrase things since I have a feeling you weren't intending the more risqué interpretation.
On a side note, however, you may want to make such jokes slightly more... I think deadpan is the word, although deadpan sometimes is used to refer to general sarcasm rather than its more specific meaning as a style of humor where more unrealistic things are discussed in a serious manner. Doing so would strengthen the character development of such scenarios while keeping things humorous. Celestia feeling guilt for her actions is a serious matter after all, but you address it mostly through light fluffy pieces. You do the same for some other serious aspects of characters, like Twilight's drive to challenge herself, and there's nothing wrong with that. I like those parts. You could, however, stand to vary it a bit more to impress the point a bit more. One way to look at it is your light fluffy approach is excellent at showing who a character is, but it sometimes gets in the way of showing us why they are who they are.
7087463 Roll with it and then have a princest sub-arc.

I thought how to fix the issue and I think I came up with some changes, however, I would like to have your opinion, maybe even make a blog about it.
This is original scene: ( text in bold is where I suggest changes )
//And this is rewritten scene I came up with. In bold are all sections that I changed or added. The rest wasn't changed.
“PS: Once the ponies in Ponyville learned I had two tickets, I ended up playing in the biggest and longest game of tag in my entire life. I can proudly say I have defeated an entire town, and if I keep practicing, I may one day defeat Rainbow Dash and become the unbeaten world champion at it.” Luna lowered the letter to the ground as she spoke the last line, “Your Little Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.”
Celestia’s lowered her head in shame as her ears fell.
Luna looked down at the little alicorn and said, “Thou hast caused quite a disturbance in this peaceful town, sister.”
“It was meant to be a simple lesson. I did not expect it would end like this,” Celestia took a deep breath, even though as an alicorn she didn’t need to breathe to survive, something her sister proved by enduring a thousand years banishment on the moon. “Yet another idea I came up with today that did not go as planned.”
Luna levitated the hourglass, which counted her 15 minutes of punishment. Half of the sand that had already passed through was levitated back to the top. Celestia released her breath, feeling cold floor making contact with the lower part of her muzzle.
“We wish to expand the time of punishment for the trouble thy action caused, dear sister. Unless thou got tired of us squeezing out thy manipulative ways?
Celestia grit her teeth and put more strength into her legs as she lifted Luna’s foreleg slightly. Feeling the weight of a giant leg on her back for so long was rather uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to end this, quite the opposite.
Was it her desire to regain her sister’s trust? Was it her student resolve to fight against any challenge that inspired her? Maybe her guilt for banishing her sister for a thousand years that haunted her for an millennium, an inner desire to be judged, to atone for all her mistakes she made during her long rule.
The realization struck her like lightning. She wanted to have a pony point out her mistakes. She wanted her sister to have her revenge, to make her happy. For the first time in a millennium she had a pony who could tell her what she’s doing wrong, who could punish her accordingly.
“I trust your judgement, Luna. After all you had to endure, this punishment is a mercy.” Celestia looked at her sister while drops of sweat were falling down her face, easily noticing a cheerful smile. “You seem happier than usual. Are you enjoying it, sister?”
“We would be lying if We said We didn’t,” Luna answered as she put more strength into her hoof, overpowering Celestia’s resistance and silencing her for the time being. Aside from feeling pleasure from being atop her sister for once, in more ways than one, something she wasn’t proud of. She also felt pride towards Celestia, knowing that she was more than willing to accept punishments and atone for her mistakes.
If I will use the alternative scene instead, I would as well delete this part from chapter 2 part 1:
I cannot make many changes for Luna though as she have her reasons to feel satisfied when punishing her sister. Do my alternative idea fix the issue? Should I delete marked part in chapter 2 part 1?
7087993 Your fix would work, but I think you should go the princest route, because nobody would expect it...
...and think of all the rustled jimmies that would result from such a descision. Not only that, but it could add a lot of hidden depth that you could work a lot of different ways.
~Crystalline Electrostatic~
11:18_4/2/2016
7087993 I think this version is much better, well done.
7088012 I'm all for a good Princest story, but I don't think this is the type of story which that would really fit into, I'm more for a Twilestia in these circumstances.

It appears that readers prefer the original scene rather than the alternative one. There are 4 votes to keep it unchanged, and 1 vote to change it.

Feel free to vote as well.
This story is a long, (and definitely worth it) series! Keep it up if you can, and if you want help, we're always here! Good luck! :D

responding via pm because of my annoying habit to build the Great Wall of Text.
7087993
nvm... My browser broke which I assume means I wrote way too much analysis. Anyways to sum it... The revision still has the same problems as before. If others are fine with it there's no reason to change it. Just be aware of the affects of both showing and telling at the same time. A lot of what you write shows us what you really want, but there are place where you have some extra stuff. Places where you tell what's already shown in the surrounding text, and some readers will take that and look far more into it than you meant.
Is it just me, or could this situation between Celestia and Luna, plus this realization Celestia just had, turn really kinky real quick?
Sounds like Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep
7065168 I was tired when I put G3 :p
Get... uh... Screw it, I don't remember what I was going to say.
Butts.
Plus I still blame Celestia for being too late with that apology letter. And causing Twiny some trouble. Lel.
7088795
To some degree yes, however it is Celestia who feel most guilty rather than Luna, and nowhere near as extreme as creating a being that would torture her every night.
The letter is a little too big, can you decrease the size?
7092139
This letter is big because I wanted to show it from Twiny's perspective. Though If it is an issue, I can reduce it's size a bit. ( I reduced it slightly, hows now?)
7092284 Thank you, it's only that hurted a little the eyes after seeing the normal size.
needs end " marks.
And out of curiosity,why'd you choose 'wrestle in the mud' over 'mud wrestling'? (same thing just wondering).
___________
Interesting chapter.
7088722 nah, lots of us thought it, spending to much time in the naughtier sections of this website
It frustrates me so much that people think this; Luna was not ON the moon she was IN the moon. The elements trapped her temporarily as part of the celestial body she controlled. She became part of the moon, she was not transported to it's surface.
That is why her silhouette was on the moon. She was part of it, and the silhouette showed that.
