The Mind of an Egghead

The Thought of Becoming an Alicorn Princess

Wow, today was an exciting and tiring day, becoming an Alicorn Princess and all. The Princess of Magic, I like it. I just hope that I don't have to leave everypony. I want to stay in Ponyville, not trapped in a castle with nothing else to do but read and do Princess-like duties. Though that does sound interesting, I still have a life to live in Ponyville. A life with Applejack especially. It was funny, the day before my coronation, seeing her sewing up dresses and taking the work of Rarity. But it was also depressing. It was my fault that that had happened. To this day, even if it has just been one day, I still feel guilty for all that spell. Though, I shouldn't dwell on that past anymore, it made me a Princess, possibly the highest honor to receive! Currently, I am reminiscing in a guest room tryi-. Knock knock. I heave a sigh. Other ponies just have to interrupt my thoughts, don't they? I walk over to the door, unlock it and pull the door open with my magic.

"Yes?" I ask through the doorway as I lift my head and straighten out my stance to show my authority.

It was a female servant pony, apparently here to check up on me and I just simply told her that I was fine. I appreciate the thought, but the "Do Not Disturb" sign should have been enough to inform her that I wasn't to be disturbed at the time. I look over at the doorknob and see that there was no sign. Oh right, I had forgotten to put it up. I blush slightly and look back at the servant pony.

"Princess Sparkle, the Element of Honesty wishes to meet with you."

"Yes, of course, bring her in," I reply still trying to tower over her with my authoritative stance.

"Right away."

The servant pony curtsies and hurries down the hall. A few seconds later, she is escorting Applejack through to my guest room. Which, hopefully, will not become my permanent room. The servant curtsies again and goes off to do her other duties. I gesture Applejack to come inside as I place a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob and shut the door with my magic.

"Hay there Twi. How ya feelin' 'bout becoming a Princess and stuff?" Applejack asks.

I giggle, "It was very fun. I really couldn't have become a Princess without you and everypony."

She blushes and smiles. I then hug AJ and she hugs back.

"Where are the others? Why did you come alone?" I ask, curious.

I pull away from the hug and smile at her.

"Oh, they were tired from the day and Ah just wanted to see how you were doin'," she replies, "Ya really look beautiful with yer new wings, Twi."

"Well, props of becoming an Alicorn Princess," I laugh.

Applejack laughs too.

"Ah'd better leave ya 'lone now, Miz Princess of Magic, ya seem a bit tired like th' others."

I nod.

"Yeah, I sure am. Especially after that first time flying through Canterlot."

I yawn and smile again at Applejack.

"Goodnight."

She leans in and gives me a peck on my lips.

"Goodnight, Princess."

I blush at the word "Princess" it made me feel alot more important to Applejack. I watch as Applejack turns around and waves goodbye. I wave goodbye back as she leaves and shuts the door behind her. I'm only anticipating one more visit tonight. A visit from my former teacher and mentor, Princess Celestia. Though she did say I was still going to be her student in a different way. I probably misheard her, I don't know. It'd be a bit unfortunate to not be her student anymore, but that didn't mean I couldn't learn from her anymore, it'd just be in a different way. About a minute passes until I hear a light knocking on my guest room door again.

"Princess Sparkle, it is I," a royal voice calls from the opposite side of the door.

"Come in," I invite.

The door opens with a light click and I watch as Princess Celestia enters.

"Princess Celestia, what brings you here tonight?"

I was being slightly sarcastic, I knew she was here to check up on me like the others and inform me of my new duties. Duties that, I hope, will not remove me from my residence in Ponyville.

"You have no reason to call me by 'Princess' anymore, Princess Twilight, but if you prefer it, you may."

I laugh at her hypocrisy and the sun goddess laughs along with me.

"Also, I came to see how you were doing. You are doing well, I assume?" Princess Celestia asks.

I nod and smile sheepishly.

"It's just a lot to take in, becoming an Alicorn Princess and all. And, overall, becoming an equal to the sun goddess and my mentor," I sigh.

"Anypony would find it a lot to take in, but you deserve it Twilight Sparkle. You have learned the magic of friendship which gives you the right of the authority, the Princess of Magic. Also, about your new duties. I want you to remain in Ponyville and expand your knowledge in friendship and magic."

My eyes widen. The Sun Princess smiles, knowing how I'd react. I practically start bouncing all around the room in a way that Pinkie Pie would. Wonderful news, this is WONDERFUL NEWS! I get to stay in Ponyville along with everypony and Applejack especially. I stop my ecstatic behavior, walk up to the Princess and embrace her.

"Thank you oh so much, Princess Celestia!"

I almost squeal of happiness. Celestia has granted another one of my many wishes. Such a faithful goddess she is.

"You are very welcome, Princess Sparkle. That is all I have to tell you. I shall now take my leave."

She nods at me and I nod back, waving goodbye.

"Thank you very much again Princess Celestia!"

I see and hear her chuckle as she shuts the door behind her as she trots off to her own room. I want to pray to Princess Celestia a lot more to thank her, but I fear the many thanks would become annoying.

Another sweet memory of happiness that only I can feel, so I'll keep this along with the others to remind me of the things I've been through to reach where I am today. So what will I do in the new days in Ponyville? Simple, do what I have always been doing. Learning about friendship, be a friend to my friends and do all the fun stuff I always do back at Ponyville. Whether it be helping Applejack around the farm during the Applebuck Season or fooling around with Pinkie Pie and spreading happiness throughout Ponyville. Or be it helping Rarity stitch dresses, though, I don't really think I'd be much help unless I have a book for it. Or be it helping Rainbow Dash with her flying. Talking about flying, I can do that too now! And lastly, I could help Fluttershy with her animals or with her being a bit more assertive, in a good way.

Oh the adventures I'll have and it'll all begin tomorrow morning. I yawn. Should probably head off to bed now. I trudge to my guest bed. Oh right, I'm still in my coronation dress. I use my magic to remove it, hang it and set it away in my temporary closet. I yawn once again. I crawl into the bed, turn off the lights with my magic, and cover myself with the blanket. Goodnight Equestria, the fun will certainly start by the time I wake up tomorrow morning.

Author's Note:

Hooray! Second fanfiction mares and stallions! From what We hear, the Princess of Magic is going to stay in Ponyville and continue learning magic. If We had misunderstood, then this work will be edited, or We will simply continue this series as a spinoff to the true life of Princess Sparkle.

Based on the MLP forums, Equestria Daily, Derpy Hooves News and many other sites. Daniel Ingram has stated that there will be 91 episodes. With the end of Season 3, totaling up to 65 episodes, the only logical way for there to be 91 episodes, is if there happens to be another 26 episode-long season.

We pray that this be true, and wish to never see the end of the episodes. The Element of Generosity would definately be furious if she did not have more screen time.

So finished up two letters and figured I could spare a moment to read this (It isn't all that long) and I wasn't disappointed.

I'll start with criticism to get that out of the way. I noticed a few minor mechanic problems- comma splices, minor redundancies, spelling and miscellaneous punctuation- but that's to be expected, no one is a perfect writer, I have trouble with this things.

Formatting could use a bit of polish, there are a few paragraph breaks where there needn't be as well as areas where they should be included.

Content wise I think you could delve more into emotions alongside thoughts. IE using more fear and despair at the thought of Applejack leaving.

On the bright side, I read the entire thing. There's been a lot of stuff that I've read where I get a paragraph or two in and I just quit. as I said I'm not much of a reader. Your writing was engaging enough for me to read the entire thing. I found myself interested in how you portrayed the characters and their scenarios. It was genuinely a pleasure to read.

There is one thing I particularly enjoyed that you did that many writers seem to forget: thought takes time. Many authors make thought seem instantaneous, that it all happens in a second, when in actuality it does take time to think.

Also I enjoyed the TwiJack, you don't see much of it, but I think you pull it off nicely.

In short, no it isn't perfect, but the little errors don't really detract from the story in any way. A genuinely good read.

Well, you see, the story does not follow a certain sequence. As it says in the Author's note, the chapters come along as We are inspired. Though, We shall soon get back to filling the plot-hole, there has been major difficulties with our school and education lately.
