It's Twilight's fifteenth birthday, and her parents have taken her out to dinner at her favorite Mexicolt restaurant. Princess Celestia is even here to celebrate with her! It would be perfect, except for one thing: she has the hiccups. Can she overcome them before Celestia loses her patience and exiles her from Equestria forever? Probably.

Very lovely read! I can see it in MLP book with children tales, for example. Innocent and sweet

Good ol' slice of filly life! Have an upvote (and one of those fancy Mexicolt cookies).

That was a good story.

It feels like there aren't enough stories that put some focus on Twilight's life pre-pilot. This was a nice little glimpse of it.

Ohoho~ TwiLuna you say? You've got my attention now

Your description says it's her 15th. birthday but the story starts out with it being her 17th. birthday.

this was originally going to be the start of a set of vignettes i was gonna call 'mandelbrot' about the friendship between twilight and celestia and how, though it may move in the same patterns, deep subtleties are grooved in their place... i want to explore the layers of understanding that build up in their relationship over the years, sometime

That sounds amazing, I'd totally read it :pinkiegasp:

Twilight Sparkle had only drawn anything resembling ire from Celestia twice in her life. Once, at twelve, when she was so in awe staring up at the freshly painted court ceiling that she'd backed directly into a midnight blue vase. The Princess wasn't much one for possessions and their vanity, but that one must have been special.

She'd rarely seen sadness as deep as that which dwelled in Celestia's eyes as she looked down at the scattered constellations at their hooves. It was matched by the intensity of the glare she met Sparkle with. It was only for a fraction of a second, of course — Equestria's leader knew better than to yell at a foal, especially one who had already burst into tears at her mistake. Her voice then had been more of a mess of hiccups than tonight, and it was only soothed after Celestia stroked her mane with each "I'm sorry," she blubbered, matching each with forgiveness.

Good bet that vase was one of Luna's. Only thing I can think of.
