When Twilight has returned from limbo as an Alicorn, Celestia also underwent a big change. This one was not quite so... expected, though.

This is an intriguing idea. I vote you continue.

Sounds like a nice idea.

Philomena! Sombra! Friendship! Cowbell!”

Stop trying to activate your sleeper agents, Tia. You left them all in Canterlot.

This could stand to be a bit more fleshed out in its scene description, but I'm intrigued by the premise. I'll keep an eye on this one. It should be fascinating to watch the consequences unfold.

I hope the 'idea' can become a proper story. Time permitting, of course. :moustache:


11874885
Yeah, I thought so too. I wanted to get it down on 'paper' before I got distracted by... something else. :unsuresweetie:


11874887
Thanks for the advice. As one veteran writer to another, you got any tips? :duck:

Why do I want Cadence to adopt her now as Flurry's big sister???

Anyway, sounds fun so far and I am eagerly waiting for more.

This seems REALLY promising, please continue IF you are able.

11874902
More will come. REALLY pleased with the response so far! :pinkiehappy:


11874912
I am able, indeed. I just wish I had as much time as I have ideas... :fluttercry:

11874915
I hope things work out!

This ought to be interesting.

Also, +1 point for proper spelling of 'Cadence'.

You should definitely continue this. Sounds like it'll be a fun read. Tracking.

11874937
I know that's the correct spelling, but it just looks so wrong after seeing her name spelled the other way so many times.

I owe it all to Mr Spellchecker :pinkiesmile:

It was fun to write too, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered now. :twistnerd:

:moustache: She's economy sized
:duck: She looks oddly like my Sweetie Bell almost...
:pinkiegasp: From Ali to a Uni !
:rainbowhuh: That's not her
:ajsmug: So you think
:facehoof: What have I done?
:trollestia: Don't just trot there DO something
:flutterrage: It's Derpys fault!
:derpytongue2: You might be right

Pinkie Pie's and Celestia's reaction is probably accurate, Twilight would be freaking the hell out.

11875008
Pinkie Pie? I haven't got to her yet... and Twilight probably did freak out plenty when it actually happened, but a bit of time has elapsed since then, so... :twilightoops:

11875011
Twilight's reaction would be close to being "oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! The Princess turned into a unicorn! What do I do!? WHAT DO I DO!? Calm down Twilight, there's no reason to freak out. AHHHHHH, THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO FREAK OUT!!!"

11875016
You'll probably find out more of her initial reaction in the very next chapter. Stay tuned. :ajsmug:

If you will allow me to go on a rant for a moment...

If you, for example, do a Google search for Cadance, it immediately presumes you mean cadence. Cadance has no etymology to it, apparently.:ajbemused:

Correction: Wordnik, however, says - verbatim...

noun - Common misspelling of cadence

I don't care if that's how her name is "officially spelled". That's objectively wrong! :twilightangry2:

Further, her Princess name is Mi Amore Cadenza, not Cadanza!

Also, another thing I see too commonly. Apple Bloom is TWO words! Nnnot one! Her Wiki says so.


Ahh. I'm so glad I got that off my chest. :twilightsmile:

Absolutely brilliant, well-done friend.

I especially enjoyed this line: "you could say Celestia’s first contact with her new reflection turned her as white as a sheet, but for obvious reasons this was hard to tell.

So instead of judging the shell-shocked mare by her usual pale coloring, a mortified Twilight only had her teacher’s glazed expression to speculate about what went through her brain at the grand unveiling of her unfamiliar appearance to herself. Along with her following actions, naturally.-deadpansnarker's

11875056
Thanks for your positive feedback. Very encouraging! :pinkiehappy:

I owe it all to Mr Spellchecker :pinkiesmile:

The show used both spellings in season 3, which didn't help. Neither does Cadenza. I assumed this was a principled stand before this comment. Mr Spellchecker is the hero we deserve.

At least it's less confusing than Owlowiscious. (sorry for the misspelling)

(Loving the story)

11875083
Much, actually. :raritywink:
Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter.

I’ll bite. This seems interesting enough. I’m willing to see where this goes.

This should be good. I don’t see many of these stories get finished.

Celestia is hiding something about Twilight's ascension. I wonder if it's a curse? I really want to find out!

11875030
Gotta agree with you on AB, at least.

11875181
Enjoy the journey! :coolphoto:


11875190
There's a first time for everything. Don't despair yet. :rainbowderp:


11875129
If a wise old bird like you approves, I must be doing something right. :eeyup:


11875193
I have a basic outline of how I see things going. Early days yet, but let's see... :trixieshiftright:

That was a good chapter goodluck with the rest of it.

Cool. I always like stories that humanize (pony-ize? de-mythologize?) Celestia.

The detail that's missing would be her mane and tail going back to solid pink, like in the old story book.

Definitely got my attention. Would love to see where this goes, and whether Celestia's transformation has deaged her not just phyiscally but mentally as well.

The description could be better rephrased. I had originally thought you were trying to write this story through Twilight's point of view, despite the cover story's image. Plus, with such a limited description, that alt universe tag is kinda throwing me off; it had painted a picture that Celestia "woke" up in a parallel alternate universe rather than having an alternate path.

It took finishing the first chapter to finally grasp what you were writing.

Otherwise, I guess the story is okay so far.

11875494
No pressure, eh? :pinkiesad2:


11875568
Sorry, not familiar with that particular concept. Even the comics are a bit of a mystery to me, so I tend to go by the show’s canon alone. :twilightsheepish:


11875591
The answers may surprise you. :moustache:

11875641
Nope, the ‘alt’ tag can apply to all kinds of things, and in this case it meant Celestia undergoing her own ‘transformation’ at the same time as Twilight, unlike in canon.

The ‘new reality’ referred to in the chapter was the consequence of her dealing with those changes. I kept the main thrust of the plot intentionally vague to encourage people to read it.

Considering the amount of attention it’s getting, it seems to have done the trick so far. Hope you continue to stick with & enjoy it. :duck:

Ooohhh nooo I am loving this already! :rainbowkiss:

A neat start to what looks to be a good story. Congrats on making the Featured box again. :moustache:

This chapter was pleasing to fulfilling to me.

I'd love to see where you go with this.
