It’s been a whole month since you moved into the castle and you were loving it! It was a cushy job, of course- just having to spend a few hours a day cuddling with the Princess while she showered you with bits and gifts- but it was fulfilling to see how Celestia herself loved to spend time with you. Those in the castle noticed the slow change in Celestia’s personality too. While she always had been kind, she was now able to work longer each day, and her smiles had become particularly bright.
Twilight’s work in getting you home had hit a snag, so it appeared that you’d be stuck in Equestria at least a few more months. It was fine by you to spend some more time with the Princess. You’d already had the talk with her, of course, and she was prepared for when you finally had to leave, but you also saw how she appeared to leap for joy when you read her Twilight’s letter.
“Where are we going?” Celestia whines as you lead her down the long hallway to her chambers blindfolded.
“Come on, you don’t know the whole layout of the castle by memory at this point?”
“Oh, I do. I just wanted to play along,” she replies, not able to keep a smile from growing over her face.
Growling, you open the doors to her chamber and lead her inside, halting before her dresser to untie her blindfold.
Celestia gasps and covers her mouth with a hoof upon seeing your gifts to her. “These roses are so stunning!” she tells you, removing one of the warm-colored roses from the glass vase and twirling it in her magic to observe it.
“I noticed them on our walk through the garden on our first date,” you told her. “I thought since they kinda were colored like the sun that you’d like a few for the room.”
“Ohhh, and there’s a card, too!? You shouldn’t have!” Picking up the envelope in her magic, she rips it open and pulls out the card inside.
More beautiful than a morning sky
More powerful than a blazing sun
Sweeter than summer rays
You keep the darkness away
Thank you, my sunshine
Happy Heart’s and Hooves Day!
Under that, you had signed your name, with ‘love’, just to make Celestia’s heart flutter a bit. You had an inkling of how important this holiday was to her and planned to make the best of it.
You had also considered stealing the lyrics to one of any number of songs about sunshine and putting it in the card, but you knew that the only pony working to get you back home to Earth also despised plagiarism, and thus decided against it.
Tears roll down Celestia’s cheeks as she reads your message, and she is a complete mess by the time she turns to face you completely. “Y-you’re my sunshine too!” she sobs. “I-I don’t know what to say!”
You tap a finger to your chin in mock thought. “Why don’t you ask me out on another date tonight?”
PERFECT ENDING
A lovely ending.
This was really nice, thanks for writing it
This is adorable.
Got the perfect ending first time. Woop.
Now I guess I should check out the other endings.
This ending was adorable, though. Nice work.
Cute little story. Since I got the perfect ending first try, I'll go back and be a little bit of a daredevil this time.
Forget staying just until Twi finds a way back to Earth. Once she figures it out tell her it's great to have it as an academic study, but you won't be needing it. You have... permanent employment.
perfect ending first time nerds
I'm the Ultimate Horse Romancer
Yess perfect
Feels good to get the perfect ending first shot. Good story overall. Time to go screw up and see the others.
Celestia sabotaged Twilight's research, calling it now.
lol, I got the perfect ending at first try O.O
8189481 same!
I'm surprised I got this ending, since I'm terrible at actually interacting with any people at all.
8189481 same
Took a couple tries, but would have felt nicer to have more failure points
First try I got the perfect ending and the mare! Probably not much of an accomplishment though.
This was cute.
8188760 hehe that, or you contact Twilight yourself and tell her to stop, you have decided to stay forever
Wound up here after reading the bonus chapter in Love Your Own Luna. Perfect Ending first try for Celestia.
I loved it!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The writer is a master of the art of literature
I feel like it would have been more fitting if you had to choose between staying with Celestia or going home to your family. Both would be a bittersweet end.
First try. Genuine answers.
First try, natural answers. I usually come out well on these.
Now to go explore other paths.

Best of luck to you- and check out the sequel with Luna, 'Love Your Own Luna' (I'd link it here but I'm having internet problems atm.
I needed this fluff. This kind of thing is great. And CYOA? Thus is the first I've seen; very nice.

I've got one of these for Luna too, but it's more romance-oriented. I also have a whole series of fluff stories; the 'Snuggle' series

SERIOUSLY! I LOVE THIS!!😍😍 SO ADORABLE AND IT IS PERFECT😭😭 Amazing job! You are hands down one of my favourite writers on fim fiction. Honest opinion.😏
One slight improvement I would make if I were you: Make the ending tag a different colour. It kinda feels a little unnatural to me that it's coloured in the standardised way. Probably good ending will be green and bad ending will be red and this perfect ending could be violet or something. I just feel it would be a little more fitting and adds a good touch to it.

Thank you so much for your kind words! :D It warms my heart!
I amazingly got the perfect ending the first time i did this

I know I’m really late but...
DANGANRONPA REFERENCE
Get me a hammer 'cause I FREAKING NAILED IT! EQUESTRIA, SAY HELLO TO PRINCE(-consort) HUMAN! First order of business is that day court shall be suspended for the next few days <While I go nail a certain somepony>, all issues are to be brought to Luna in night court!
If that's okay with you, my dear.
{A 'royal consort' (a being which marries into royalty) has no power of their own and is only able to act on behalf of their spouse if said spouse is unavailable or decrees that they do so, any 'orders' they give must also be given by their spouse, and should that spouse die the consort would return to their position pre-marriage unless they had children of royal blood. Lookit me, doing Purple Smart proud.}

Same lousy at dealing with people, perfect at romancing a millennia old pony princess. Oh well time to send Twilight a letter telling her she doesn't need to find me a way home but does need to find a way to turn me into a pony :)
YES! PERFECT ENDING! FIRST TRY! YAY!
89554121
Me too. Luna is best princess! :D
Tia's cute too though :3

Wow, first the Good ending and then the Perfect Ending. Damn. I'd be great in this situation.
Huh,
first time I do this kind of Interactive story but I like it and a perfect Ending is kind of surprising but I did what I felt I would have done *blush*
my Oh my...

OH REALLY.
SCREW TWILIGHT SPARKLE! If you can't plagiarize from your own world while in an alien one, what can you plagiarize?

That was lovely! First try, too!
First try Bay-Bay

Yes, really! Just because that snag has a first name doesn't mean that it isn't a snag!
Got the Good ending first, Perfect second. Not bad. :)
