Celestia. Princess. Dawn-bringer. Herald of the sun and usherer of every new day. All these and more were titles she had lived up to with pedigree and regality.
But because of it, she’s missed out on so much.
Rarely did she and her dear sister Luna ever get to escape their constant tutoring and drawling studies, especially for some merriment and revelry. No games. No fun. Smiles were to be meant as an obligated greeting to any delegates and subordinates, but never were they to be derived from silliness or a joyous time.
Long has she sought to break free from all this and truly be herself. But after ruling on her lonesome for a millennia she had been left with almost no free time, especially with her sister no longer there to join her.
Could this be the day?

Seems like a solid beginning to a story. Should it really be marked complete?

I kinda wanted to leave it on a similar note to the original cover art. Plus I’m not sure I can really map out much of a story after this.
I really enjoyed this one, I like stories that delve more into Celestia's personality because it must be a heavy burden she is caring. You did a great job describing how sad and boring Celestia's day to day live must be, and what a relieve it must have been to finally be a child again for just a couple of minutes.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I quite liked this. I enjoy the way you wrote Celestia, and how she and Luna were forced into their positions. I think it's very nice how she almost deifys Twilight, with the way Twi came in and returned her spark of life. It's also cute to imagine the CMC just asking the freaking Alicorn of the sun to play ball and Celly's just like, "Heck yeah, let's go gals!"
Hey, even royalty needs to have fun once in a while.
What a lovely end to such a sweet (and well written) little story! Thank you very much for writing it!

You know, I was wondering the same thing. It ended kind of abruptly to me. Still got a like, but I’d kind of like to see this expanded. I was ready to see Tia blow their little filly minds with her mad ball playing skills or something and then it just… ended. I was like “is that it?”
Still a good story. In fact, it’s BECAUSE it’s a good story that I wanna see more of it.
