Chapter 39
I took slow deep breaths, my eyes closed.
“How are you doing?” Sunset asked and I opened my eyes to look at her. “Nervous?”
I shook my head. “No. Terrified.”
She smiled and poked me with her hoof. “You’ll be fine.”
Twilight nodded in agreement, her wing settling across Sunset's back. “You will. My life didn’t change that much after I became an alicorn.”
Sunset nodded and then looked thoughtful, looking at Twilight. “…Admittedly, you aren’t a stallion.”
“True.”
I shook my head. “Not helping, Sunset,” I groaned and moved to look out the window.
“Sorry.”
“You should have waited until Princess Luna returned,” Skitter said from where she was sitting on one of the comfy chairs. “You would have felt better.”
Maybe this was a mistake.
Well, too late now. Twenty minutes until Celestia and I made the announcement. Fucking hell, I was…
I felt like I was about to fight Tirek again but without the determination. Just the fear and adrenaline without an outlet.
Skitter jumped off the chair and moved next to me. Next thing I knew she nipped at the side of my neck and every worry and fear I had just melted away like a candle next to a blowtorch of just pure need.
Gasping, I looked at her before I turned away, clenching my eyes tight as I clamped down on my mind with chains of will, forcing the sudden images away from my mind.
Taking a deep breath, I turned to glare at her. “What the fuck, Skitter?”
She cringed. “…Sorry. But you were so nervous. How do you feel?”
I blinked at her twice.
I felt good.
“Damn it, Skitter,” I grumbled, rubbing my neck. Whatever it was that she did should be bottled. You could make a lot of bits from that, though I’m not sure it should ever be used against a non-alicorn. It wasn’t a poison or drug or anything, it was something about that rather intimate nibble combined with their magic.
Luckily, it was limited to changeling royalty. Besides, I’m pretty sure it was possibly to get addicted to that.
“…Sorry, sir.”
“What was that?” Twilight asked curiously from next to Sunset before moving over to us. “Some kind of changeling magic?”
“You could say that,” I answered before I mentally smirked. “Ask her to show you if you like to know.” I stretched my wings and took another deep breath. Holy shit, that woke you up.
Okay, let’s fucking do this.
Turning around, I trotted out of the room as Twilight looked at Skitter curiously. I headed out into the main hall, closing the door behind me.
So, this was it, wasn’t it? The next turn of my life?
After today, everyone would know I’m an alicorn now. Even with Skitter's distraction, I was nervous. I didn’t like the attention. Honestly, I never did.
I just wanted to be left alone and write my books. Maybe something original after I finish Terminator. Maybe… explorer in a flying ship. Not Star Trek, an actual flying ship, maybe with pirates?
Shaking my head, I turned the corner and pushed that thought away for later. I was just trying to ignore reality now and right now, I can’t afford it.
I had to do this right. For Luna.
And to be honest, for myself. I had to get over this, I had to… I had to figure this out and this was the way forward. The only realistic one.
The only one that let me stay with Luna long term.
Heading for the balcony I stopped next to where Celestia was waiting, looking as calm as ever. As I got close, she smiled. “How do you feel, Page?”
“Bit nervous. Better now though,” I said and smiled slightly. “Let’s get this over with so I can go hide?”
Celestia nodded. “Not quite time yet. A few more minutes.”
Nodding, I sat down. “Yeah.”
“Page, we can still call this off,” Celestia offered. “I can make another announcement.”
I shook my head. “…No. It won’t be possible to hide it much longer. This is better. In the long run, I mean.”
“Maybe. Only you can decide that.”
“…Let’s do it.”
Celestia nodded and gave me a nuzzle at my ear. “Let’s. Come.”
“Wait,” I said and paused, “What do I do?”
She smiled. “Nothing, I’ll handle it. You just stand there, looking pretty.”
I shot her a small glare and she winked before leading me out towards the balcony above the main square. You would think I would be terrified and I was earlier, I really needed to thank Skitter for…
The square was packed with ponies. Thousands. Tens of thousands. All looking this way.
Oh. There was my panic.
Clenching my jaw, I forced myself to continue out next to the larger alicorn into full view.
Do.
Not.
Embarrass.
Luna.
Or.
Celestia.
Panic on your own time. Now, look relaxed and smile.

What was that? Panic harder? ALRIGHTY THEN!
I can't wait to see how this turns out in the next chapter.
Just smile and don't blurb out the very first thing pops into your head.
I hope something weired or funny during the great revile.
I'd love to hear the actual speeches, or if theirs a question and answer panel, or the reaction of the crowd
Page, buddy. Next time you misplace your panic, misplace it harder. That way you don't find it again so easily
Shouldn't it be Luna nipping Page on the neck?
I wonder if Luna would be upset, like if she wanted to plan out his reveal and ceremony.
A chapter of a short panic moment...... 'Kay.

I now imagine each alicorn/queen has their own specific spot to nip on Page. Luna has his ear. Skitter has the side of his neck. There are plenty more options.
Although, I am curious where Winningverse Cloud Kicker would nip if given the chance....
Maybe something like this:
And Celestia be like
hells yeah
why didn't I think of that
And Twilight be like
8085956 I can see Page doing exactly that too easily
8085778 don't look tired or bored, open your eyes as wide as physically possible.
8085919 Tip of the wings?
If it wasn't for the fact that it would be tasteless. Would I expect a pony by the name of Rotten Tomato, Clown Pie or Fruit Thrower, to throw something in his face after his grand reveal.
"Smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave..."
Poor Page!

Public speaking is hard no matter what species you are.
Except for Vogons reading poetry.
8085857 Luna isn't there right now.
Eyes fall on Page. The SkitterNip kicks in full force.
He jumps in front of Celestia.
And SAYS
-Pomf-
Nice seeing things progressing with Sunny and Twi. Not my ship, but it still seems sweet.
Kinda want to hear the real speech though.
8086289 funny bit is Page isn't even speaking. It's a public appearance. Tia specifically told him he didn't need to say anything. That being said, he may still speak. Like Sunny giving him the option if he settles a bit.

ok I only have one thought we defiantly need a pinkie party after all this is page can settle his nerves.
8086292 I know that.
Nightmare Page, and Nightmare Sparkle would probably be similar, I think.
"The books shall last forever!!! Muahahaha!!!"
What a diabolical cliffhanger.
:o
Going to do Harlock, next?
8086244
Wait...Page is a penguin now? When did that happen?
Oh by Celestia's bountiful buttocks, I had no idea this had updated! A whole 39 delicious new chapters! Huzzah!
Favorites! Upvotes!
8087302 It started one night when he, Luna, Sunset, Twilight, and Skitter got just a little too slap-happy, and had just a little too much booze.....
All this talk about panic tells me he should write the equestrian version of this book next.

Oh! God damn it. I just finished re-reading the previous stories, start power reading the new one. Then I get done scrolling threw the comments and go to click the next chapter button. Only to find it isn't there...
...
Well I guess now that I'm caught up, I have wait like everyone else now. Huh? Love the new story Hiver keep it up!
8088758 I was just about to make this joke
Smile and wave boy, smile and wave.
8087302
I was thinking Treasure Planet.
Blank Page inward:PANICOHFUCKWHADDOIDOGIRLYSCREAMS!!!!!!
Blank Page outward: Smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.
Throw him into a world-ending event:
BP: "Panicking can wait, my princess needs me!"
Throw him into a non-violent unusual situation and/or in front of a large crowd:
BP: "Mememememe."
Perhaps he and Twilight were meant to be together.
8086642
No no, they would both banish their significant others, themselves, and each other to a tropical island on the other side of Equus while declaring: "THE CUDDLES SHALL LAST FOREVER!!"
leeerrooooooy jeeeeeenkins!!!!!

Why is your quote Russian? Are there translated versions of the stories?
10238468
Google can automatically translate web pages. That’s my guess.
Celestia: "We have a male Alicorn!"
The crowd mares: "We want Stud service!!!"
Page: "Now wait a minute..."
Celestia: "Prima Noctis!!!"
The crowd mares: "Fine..."
Page: "...what?"
Crowd Stallions: "YOUR D-E-A-D!!!"
*Page facehooves*
