Nineveh Orion


Sequels1

E
Source

Twilight has just ascended and become Equestria's newest alicorn. Her friends are in awe, and Twilight herself is in shock.

So when Princess Celestia arrives, she isn't sure of what to say to her mentor. But she is sure of one thing, whether Celestia is prepared for it or not.

Celestia's response is not what Twilight ever expected to hear.

Nice Read.
A few typos here and there and one or two grammatical mistakes but I like the way you describe the conversation and portray the characters :D
Keep it up! :pinkiehappy:

Great work on this.

this was inspired by What Is Destiny against Desire by SpectralFury

Where can I read that story?

10539059
It's up under the Popular Stories thing on the main page. Kinda hard to miss.

Most events would happen the same, ponies would still expect leadership out of Twilight just because she's an alicorn. Sunset Shimmer however her plans would be scuttled as it hinges on Twilight's crown, now she won't have it to steal!

10539180
Sunset was after the Element of Magic. Which just so happened to be in the crown. Not the crown itself. So she would still go after it. She seemed to know quite a bit before she stole it in the first film.

It's one of those unsolved questions, since this was never planned to be anymore than a one shot story.

Interesting...now I want to see the opposite one, where Celestia just crowns Twilight instead of dabbling in dangerous magics.

10539347
There's always a chance that when the girls use the Elements to free Discord, all that Twilight's done could have them make her an alicorn, and absolutely nopony saw it coming. Least of all Celestia.

And at that point, she might not have a choice but to crown Twilight. All I got. I won't be doing that story either way.

10539357
I meant Unicorn Twilight.

Now this would have been a much better script. Its nice, its wholesome, and it respects Twilight's personal feelings.

Awesome story love it.

Nice, really nice. I think the characters were spot on, so good work.

However, I personally wouldn't have wanted this to happen in canon unless Twilight would later take her place as a princess, then it would have been perfect in my eyes. I got the feeling it will happen at least.

Without ever taking the Princess title, though, the alicorn transformation really is no more than a power-up for a character that was already one of the strongest in the show, but the rest of the mane 6 didn't get anything.

The rest of the mane 6 deserve better than that.

"What's the worst that can happen?"

Famous last words, Twilight

10539531
Makes sense. Twilight never said she wouldn't take the title here either. Just not right now. I feel Celestia has all the things in place for the coronation. But only when Twilight decides to take it.

Unfortunately, ponies are going to look to her for leadership no matter what now. Tends to happen when you're an alicorn, and since Twilight won't be hiding her new look (because I hate the idea that she would do that), she's going to get experience leading tons of ponies.

Whether she's ready for it or not.

This is not that different from canon, since there she was crowned as a princess without any responsibilities or extra rights.
I would prefer your outcome to the Magical Mystery episode, so Twilight would be crowned only once, in the last season.
Also: I do not think the spell would turn anypony else into an alicorn, maybe it would just burn them into ashes. (so it is a good idea to hide it anyway)

Twilight giggled. That was a horrifying thought. Anypony who honestly thought making all of her friend's alicorns was a good idea was an idiot. Fluttershy though might have been the safest. But that was something to think about later.

Oh, give it time Twilight, odds are your outlook on all this will change rather significantly.

REALLY good job on this one-shot. Yeah, definitely liked how , as aforementioned by other reviewers, Celestia actually respected Twilight's choice to NOT become a Princess right away and made that admission to past mistakes. Of course, Twilight admitted it wasn't completely off the table; she just needs much more time to get ready for it (getting used to the pegasus and earth pony abilities in addition to the increase to her already powerful unicorn magic is only the FIRST step of many). And, yeah, Twilight's outlook on all of her friends eventually ascending will probably change considerably over time. And, yeah, I could see where Fluttershy would probably eventually be not only the safest to ascend, but also the wisest (as SHE is the one mostly keeping Discord in line). :-D

Anyway, really enjoyable one-shot with great exchanges and characterizations.

Nope. Twilight's opinion on alicorning her friends would never change. Fluttershy is the safest because she would never let the power go to her head, and she could do a lot of good for Equestria for sure. Applejack would probably be a safe bet as well.

The rest? Forget about it. Rarity would attempt to overthrow Celestia and Luna within a week. Rainbow would start bossing ponies around for the sake of bossing ponies around and then attempt to overthrow Celestia and Luna. Because she thinks they're not cool enough. And Pinkie is...

Well, it's Pinkie Pie. I don't think I need to say more.

10598547
Point taken. Given that Pinkie ALREADY has an infamous knack for making the impossible look easy. So, yeah, enough said.

Really good points on the others too.

"And besides," Twilight said as the group shared a hug. "What's the worst that can happen?"

Twilight. Sparkle.
You do NOT say that.
Ever.
Now you've gone and poked Mr. Murphy, you silly filly.
Which is NEVER a wise thing to do.

Great story, though, and I will DEFINITELY be reading any future sequels to it.

10654869
You seem to have missed the sequel that just came out then. Oh well :b

10654871 *smirks* Actually, no, I didn't.
That was what led me to THIS story, and I went back to read it once I was finished with this one.
I'll go back and leave a comment on it later.
Been a long day, I'm bushed and my bed is calling me.

Celestia nodded, as she saw Twilight tense. "Your unicorn magic has increased a hundredfold. But there is more. You are now one-third unicorn, one-third Pegasus, and one third earth pony. You now have all the abilities of all three tribes." She smiled at Twilight's friends. "I'm sure your friends would be more than happy to help you learn all about them."

and funfact, it will only continue to grow from now!

Howdy, we have completed a review for this story over on My Little Reviews & Feedback. I hope you find it helpful. :derpytongue2:

Sparkle is an idiot. Celestia the Monster

Twilight blushed under the praise she was getting. She really couldn't argue with all of those points. "But what if I do not want to be a princess?"

10539098
she can decide to not be one right?🙁

She leaned down and whispered in Twilight's ear. "And if it is all the same to you, one new alicorn in Equestria is enough, thank you very much. We do not need any more of them. Especially Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash."

yeah NO!!

Rainbow would selfishly NON STOP BRAGGING OF HOW AWESOME SHE IS!!

Pinkie pie........

Equestria would be doomed.

Lol, just stop her, dump

Twilight not wanting to be a princess is fine... But what if she doesn't want to be an alicorn? There's no magic in the world that can change her back? She's stuck that way forever? That's terrible!

11690303
Then you write that story. I hate the idea that there is a way to de Alicorn somepony. And what if Twilight does want to stay an alicorn? Nobody seems to ever consider that.

"And besides," Twilight said as the group shared a hug. "What's the worst that can happen?"

.... You...LITTLE...BI-

As I was planning on saying before I read that last paragraph.

This is how the episode should have ended, Celestia asking if Twilight was truly ready and if she really did want to become a princess instead of forcing it on her.

I love an overpowered Alicorn Twilight Sparkle, but making her a princess instantly after her accession is a bit much. When I heard of the episode and saw it, I became surprised as I realized how little Twilight ever had control over her life, I mean every major plot point in the show from Nightmare Moon to staying with her friends to Discord to Sombra? How much was her own choices actually hers? Sure she Chose to stay with her friends at Ponyville but did Celestia plan for that? How long has Celestia been planning on making her an Alicorn.

But yeah, that episode really made me quastion the entire show and the events leading up to her accession and how many strings she has been pulling just for it all to lead up to this.
