Celestia sipped her tea with a small thoughtful look before she shook her head, “I don't believe there is any need to panic, Page. Compared to what has been written about me in the past it is fairly tame.”
“The difference Celestia is that you are not a strange meat eating alien from another dimension in pony form. And they got scary close to the truth in some parts” I sighed up at the large alicorn.
She just smiled down at me and I frowned,
“...Right?”
Celestia smiled a bit wider before she laughed softly, “Right” she agreed with a grin, “But I have been lambasted in the papers in the past for things at least as scandalous. One of the dangers of a free press I'm afraid.”
I just looked up at her for a long moment before I couldn't resist anymore, “Like what?”
“Wouldn't you like to know?” She teased before she smiled and sipped the tea, “Let's say I learned a lesson some four hundred years ago. That there are things you should not do in the throne room, even in the middle of the night. No matter how unlikely it is that somepony walks in or how handsome your consort...”
She had been... oh my.
Clearing my throat, I focused on my teacup, taking a sip.
“...and his brother were.”
My tea splashed across Celestia's perfectly timed shield and she looked at me innocently, “Something in your throat, Lord Page?”
I glowered at her. She planned that!
“I'm starting to think your sister has quite a lot of stories to tell about you” I finally said as I put my cup down.
Celestia smiled down at me, “She should. Before her banishment she were there for some of them.”
Gzk.
“...Perhaps we should get back to the point at hoof?” I finally said to get back on topic before my brain short circuited, fighting not to blush. If I didn't get this back on track, she would be teasing me all day. She found it hilarious to lure me into traps of words.
She smiled in victory with a nod, “We should” the Princess agreed, “In the end the solution is fairly simple. Care to make a guess?”
I flicked my ears in thought and slowly rotated my tea cup in my magic field, “...Tell them part of the truth?” I finally guessed.
Celestia nodded, her smile turning almost predatory, “Tell them the truth. You were in a magical accident and when you woke up you had no memory of Equestria or even living as a pony. You went on to work hard, getting a job, writing a book, caught the eye of a Princess and helped broker peace with the Changelings. Worked your way from nothing to the nobility and to be the future consort of Princess Luna. They put your past in question? Make them eat it.”
It was beautiful. Every single word of that was even true.
I slowly smiled, “The best lies are the true ones.”
“Not a single word of that was a lie” Celestia answered with a smile, sipping her tea.
Let's see how you like it?
“So... have you warned Twilight about the entire throne room thing?”
“And deprive her of experiencing it herself? Perish the thought!”
Damn.
Rolling my eyes, I shook my head, “This is Twilight we are talking about. She is the most straight laced pony I know.”
“Is she now? What is that saying about the quiet ones? The quieter, the...” Celestia teased with a grin, nibbling on a cookie, “Bet you Manehattan to donuts.”
Good point.
A thought struck me and I raised a eyebrow, “Fluttershy?”
Celestia almost choked on her cookie.
Score!
She narrowed her eyes at me and the half eaten cookie flew from her magic field to bounce off my forehead, landing on the table.
I just grinned and sipped my tea, enjoying my victory, “So... is there going to be a press announcement or are we simply sending them a letter?”
“About Fluttershy?”
“Oh, fuck no.” I choked out. That would kill the gentle pegasus!
Celestia smiled and then nodded, “I'll have the speech writers put together a suitable letter to the media.”
“Thank you, Princess.”
“You are quite welcome, my little pony.” Celestia said with her normal 'perfect princess' polite smile before it turned more real, “It's the least I can do for the pony that makes my sister so happy.”
I tired not to blush. I failed.
“In more than one way as I understand it” Celestia continued, her smile turning into a grin, “If you want, I could arrange for the throneroom to be 'closed for cleaning' for a couple of hours for you two...”
Gzk!
I shifted on the thick pillow and shot her a flat look, “Somepony is in a good mood today.”
Celestia nodded happily, “I am indeed. Twilight is arriving in a couple of hours, we are going to have a study session and review what she has learned about her new role so far.”
“Is that what they are calling it nowadays? Study session?”
A cookie bounced off my horn.
Hehe, funny chapter is funny.
The innuendo is strong with this one.
oh man, that chapter was just beautiful with the back and forth sexual stuff, i especially liked the ending
The innuendoes...
Hahahahahahha.
Also...Nice strategy in dealing with the press.
I really love this portrayal of Celestia!
So we have here a chapter of innuendos. Man I got nothing all of the funny things that I have thought of are all taken. Well I still love it.
-BFBL
Celestia is always there to provide your daily dose of innuendos.
And Celestia displays yet again why she is a consummate politician while staying utterly truthful, and why you engage her puckish side at your peril...
WELL DONE!
I do so enjoy Page's relationship with Celestia. This is probably one of my favorite chapters so far!
Will you ever explore one of those "scenes" in a seperet story?
7348958 Although I'm up for smut as much as the next annon, It would take from his time writing this story, so I've got to disagree.
But it WOULD be awesome, yes it would.
7348958 I prefer the innuendo and quick cuts when things get heated, more fun at heart.
7349527 Now that I think about it , yea thats better.
7349769 "It's what you don't see."
Still knowing that our boy Page is representing the human race by staking claim to their most gorgeous princess does my old heart well.
7349296 Yea it does seem better this way....
So you think he will become a alicorn and be the royal cuddle toy for all eternity. Not to say that is a bad thing.
7349783 If I like gets made from earth and they find what he had been able to "secure", he would get a medal....
7349821 Accidental foreign ambassador + Hooks up with Royalty= Best ambassador of all time.
7350000 Yep, and do you think he will some how become an alicorn and be the royal cuddle toy for the princess's?
7350009 No sadly that isn't his Destiny, but his and Luna's son? Maybe?
7350036 Aww..... I guess. Son? Alright.
7350046 Well, I figure this way at least a part of Page Ascends, and male Alicorn, if anyone can pull it off its Hiver.
7350061 Yeah, also where do you think the story is going in the long run. Luna and page wedding? Page getting ubercharged? More sexual references?
7350190 yes to all!

Assuming you mean gaining significant amounts of magical power, hopefully not. If he gains it by study (as he has so far) or by working magic (and magic functioning as a muscle would) then things would be fine. Even a temporary massive gain in power could work as long as there are equally severe drawbacks. But him getting alicorned or some such? Nah. He doesn't do flashy even if he did have obscene amounts of power.
Author please!
Oh, the conversations are brilliant.
This Trollestia/Molestia combo does not fit my headcannon... But I can still laugh at it all the same!

Who says alicorns have to be flashy?
This is probably one of my top 3 chapters in this series of fics so far. I laughed HARD.

Page and Celestia's interactions are pretty hilarious.
Page and Celestia are like a perfect Brother-Sister bond.
8207964
I agree 1000%!
Also Jazzy, i love that as i read this story now that your comments hit my feelings spot on every time. I swear it's like you're another me or something!
I know! She was playing Clue!
Heh.
Seriously, though, this chapter was hilarious.
Studying anatomy maybe?
Somehow, I get the feeling that she was just playing Dungeons & Discords. Exploring deeper and deeper into the dark caverns that awaited, the walls dripping with humidity. Perfectly normal. ^.^

Well, they might as well be in-laws at this point... unless she wants him to be the filling of a sister sandwich.
Is she...? Are they...?
Hey, look who's getting better at fencing!
Most likely
Every time a new part of this story is added, I go back to the beginning and work my way to the end and every time I smile when I get to the fencing between Page and Celestia.
Trollestia Apprintace i guess?
Foodfight
Fluttershy... Because you know its to cute to not be it
He is learning
Celestia is having a blast reading page
Absolutely priceless banter! I love it ♡👍
Royal spitroast
Hehehehehe
