Short: Clueless about Love

Canterlot Castle. Celestia is still hung up on the Pokemon that came through those doors. Cobalion. She was pacing back and forth in the her throne room.

"What do I do? I've never been in love before. I was too busy in my studies to fall in love! Maybe.. I can call for help! Cadence and Shining Armor know a thing or two about love!" Celestia decide to do just that. Sending a letter to Cadence and Shining Armor who were currently at Silver Shoals in the meantime.

"A letter from Celestia? What could she want?" Cadence opened up the letter, reading it.

"Dear Cadence. I have a problem that I need you to assist me with. Both you and Shining Armor. Something that the two of you are good at. Love. I have recently fallen in love and I am running wild without any knowledge of it. Help!" The letter said.

"Oh this sounds serious. Celestia never finishes her letters off with 'Help'. Shining Armor. We need to help Celestia and fast. If a pony's love goes on for another without the two ever really confessing.. the results won't be pretty."


Celestia waited in her room, as she could feel her head burning up a bit. Passion stood by next to her as Luna entered the room.

"Sister. Are thou feeling okay?"

"I don't know Luna. My head's feeling hot all of a sudden. I think I'm burning up.."

"How Ironic."

"It all happened a few moments ago. A Pokemon. A goat like creature. His name is Cobalion and he came to my throne room. And then.. I took a good look at him. He gave off such a powerful and righteous aura. He radiated the air of a leader. Oh.." Luna heard all of this and took a minute to process this. She saw her sister burning up once more and she had come to a sudden conclusion.

"Oh no.. Sister. Thou are-" Before Luna could finish her sentence, Cadence came through the door, finishing it off.

"Lovesick." She said.

"T-That's what we were going to say."

"Lovesick?" Celestia replied, confused.

"Its the most dangerous kind of love. Your feelings for somepony else is causing you to experience love for the first time. And not in the way you feel as a friend to all of Equestria.. but as a romantic feeling to somepony new. Its hurting you deep inside because this is a brand new feeling."

"How do I stop it? Its getting to my head."

"The best thing to do Celestia.. is to go to that pony and confess your true feelings. Or at least get to know him first."

"But what if we don't get along? What if he comes from a family who expect the very best from everypony. He certainly looks like he'd have that kind of family!" She began imagining the most unlikely scenarios with Cobalion.

"The second phase of lovesickness. Wild frantic imaginations." Cadence said. "We have to move now!"


Cobalion was still searching for Keldeo. He had stopped nearby a lake to take a rest as the animals and pokemon there came to him as they were all attached to his righteous aura. Celestia, Luna, Passion, Cadence and Shining Armor popped their heads out of a bush they were all in, looking at Cobalion.

"Thats him?" Shining Armor asked quietly.

"He sure does look bulky.. like steel." Cadence said.

"Yes. Thats him. Look at those eyes."

"Well Celestia. Don't you think you should go up to him and talk?" Cadence suggested.

"Oh! Right!" Celestia moved out the bush as Cobalion noticed she was there, looking at her. Celestia froze the moment he looked at her as she clenched her teeth.

"He's looking at me. What do I do.." She thought to herself.

"Can I help you.. Princess Celestia.. was it?" He said.

"Y-Y-Yes. That's me. Celestia Princess- I mean Princess Celestia." Cadence facehoofed. This was already off to a not so great start. "I see you have uh.. taken a break from your search of this Keldeo pony."

"Yes. It doesn't hurt to take small breaks here and there. Are you here to relax as well?"

"Uhh I was just- I-I.. umm." Celestia found it hard to really confess on the reason she was here.

"What is going..? She's always been able to tell the truth. Thats how she was able to wield the elements before.." Cadence said quietly.

"This isn't turning out great.." Shining Armor replied. Celestia couldn't finish her sentence to Cobalion. However, the Iron Will Pokemon knew what was going on.. at least a good gist of it.

"I know what's going on."

"You do?"

"Princess. I can see it in your eyes and the way you're acting. Especially with how you were once you saw me for the first time."

"You can?"

"Yes. You are in love with me."

"He figured it out fast!" Cadence yelled as Shining Armor and Luna put their hooves in her mouth to keep her quiet.

"You already knew?!"

"I've been around many Pokemon in my lifetime. I've seen countless of them fall in love with their own species and others. The same goes for you, Princess."

"Oh.. well.. the jig is up."

"Since you love me.. you'll have to earn it."

"Earn it?"

"Love between two individuals is formed if both have true feelings for the other. I have only just met you and you have just met me. So our supposed love isn't fully realised yet and it hasn't had time to build. For that to happen, we'll need to bond together. Only then will we understand each other. And maybe fall in love. I will see you another time. That is all I have to say." And he walked away like he owned the place, saying all of that with no pressure.

"Y-Yes! I swear Cobalion! I will win you over!" She proclaimed.

"Wow. That went well. Pretty perceptive ain't he?" Shining Armor said.

"Very." Luna replied as Celestia went back to them.

"I did it! I didn't even need to confess! This is the start of a beautiful relationship! Don't you?"

"Yes. But be careful Celestia. Love is a powerful force to manage. You need to really focus on your true feelings. Like Cobalion said.. even though I could've said it first. You have to bond together. Get to know him. Only then and ONLY then.. will you find out where your heart really lies. Understood?" She said holding Celestia's face.

"Uh huh." Celestia replied.

"Good. I think our work here is done. Write to us if you need anymore help."



The next day came and it was happening again. Celestia was lovesick once more. Cadence came inside to see her on her bed once more.

"Again?"

"I don't know why this keeps happening!"

"This is insane.. I've never seen it happen twice in a row before. You really don't know anything about romantic love do you?"

"I can't go on like this. I have a country to rule and everything. What if everypony laughs at me for being like this! They'll think I'm unfit to be a Princess if I can't even handle love itself! I even talked bout it back at the wedding! What do I do?!" Celestia began to panic as Luna gave her a slap on the face.

"Pull yourself together sister! We can fix this!" Luna yelled.

"This'll require some work. But we'll have to teach you about romantic love." Cadence said.


Lessons were in session. Cadence had sat down with Celestia to learn about this kind of love.

"Now. To understand romantic love. You have to first think about love for friends and Equestria. How do you feel about all of that?"

"I love it all. From the ponies to even my mentor Starswirl. I truly do love them all."

"Good good. Thats a good start. You already know that stae of love.. now can you think to other things you may love."

"Well.. I secrelty love cake a lot. A bit too much actually."

"You do?" Celestia blushed a bit. "Hmm okay. Thats secret love. Something that you adore and enjoy but are afraid other ponies will judge you for it considering your status. This also counts for secret lovers others may not agree with. Forbidden love is the common known name for it. What else is there?"

"I love my sister Luna a lot."

"That's family love. Possibly the highest form of love there is. We're getting somewhere now that we've covered the 3 main common types of love. Now we're onto romantic love. You already love your country, subjects, cake and your sister. Which means that deep inside of you, you also have that same type of love for Cobalion. Just different."

"Right. Different."

"Pretend I'm Cobalion. How would you bond with me?"

"Well first I'd walk with you.."

"Uh huh.."

"Then we'd talk.."

"About?"

"About.. what we like and our life maybe?"

"Good good and then?"

"Then we finish the day off and go home on our seperate ways."

"Good. Thats a great example! I'm surprised you knew what to say."

"Well its not like I don't know about romantic love.. I've just never experienced it by myself with somepony else. I've only seen it in plays, the town and city and with other locations."

"Wow. Starswirl must've really kept you stuck on those studies huh?"

"Yes. Its why I'm good at almost everything.. except for love and other things. I'm afraid that everypony will see me differently like this." Celestia looked down a bit.

"It'll be okay. Love is strange like that. But isn't that why we aim to earn it? To for the one we love because thats what our heart says. After all, nopony's perfect." Cadence reassured her.

"You're right Cadence. I might need to go for a walk. Thank you for your help."

"You do that. I'll be off now." Time passed on.. and Celestia was still stuck on Cobalion. She decided to do one single thing. Stay in her throne room all day without having to go out and find him.

"It's alright Celestia. You're better than this. Love is weird but its pretty straight forward.. hehehe."

"Sister. This is not working."

"What makes you say that?"

"Look at you. You're sweating like there's an entire rainstorm on you."

"Oh.."

"We could bring Cadence over here again-"

"No no. I have to conquer this myself. I have to master romantic love by my own."

"Very well." Luna left the room to let Celestia deal with this situation herself. Celestia looked around the room quickly as she teleported out of the castle and into the outside.

"I can't help it. I need to go and talk to him."


Cobalion was still on his quest to find Keldeo as he had ended up in Ponyville. Everypony turned around to see Cobalion arrive as they all bowed down.

"Why are we bowing?" Lyra asked.

"I don't know but this guy seems important." Bon Bon replied.

"Hello. I have a question for you all. Has anyone seen a colt named Keldeo?"

"Keldeo? We don't anypony like that." Berry Punch replied.

"Can you tell us what he looks like?" Derpy asked.

"He has a red mane and a blue tail that is apart of his neck and back. He stands out a lot actually." Cobalion described him.

"Wait! I think I saw a pony like that! He went through that rift right there! Just next to Golden Oak Library." A pony said, pointing at Twilight's home.

"I see. Thank you."

"You're welcome sir!" As Cobalion was about to head through the rift, Celestia had arrived with everpony bowing down again. Cobalion turned around to see her.

"Cobalion."

"Yes Princess Celestia?"

Celestia knew she was in public now. Everypony was watching. Her fear of not being perfect at everything was kicking in. But then she remembered what Cadence said. That nopony is perfect. She took a deep breath as she let these words out.

"Cobalion. I'm still struggling with all of this newfound romance. Its all new to me. So I hope you can understand that I may become much more flustered than everypony else! So when we talk and bond, I apologise if I may not be acting like myself!"

"I can understand."

"You do?"

"Of course. Its natural to be embarrased when in love. Even the most hard hearted individuals act differently when they have someone they love. Thats what makes love so powerful. It can effect everyone." The words that Cobalion said had moved everypony else. They understood what he meant along with Celestia. That love makes everyone act weird no matter who they are or where they came from.

"Yes. Thank you!" Celestia said.

"I'll be going for Keldeo now. Once you're ready to talk and bond with me. I'll be waiting at the lake from before." Cobalion said, walking off into the rift, leaving.

"Princess Celestia has a love interest?" Mrs Cake said.

"I didn't even think it would be him. He's so steel like." A pony also said. Celestia felt relieved. Granted she didn't win Cobalion's heart yet. But she made a great start. By getting over her lovesickness and thanks to Cadence's quote about nopony being perfect. She now had the courage to face him another time. Ralts watched from behind SugarCube corner, proud of her friend.


Chapter 24 END.

Author's Note:

Celestia and Cobalion? It was a strange decision at first.. but I realised how much it can work if I do it right.
