I'm happy to see I'm not alone in thinking that Twilight will still be Twilight in season 4. :twilightsmile:

I just thought i'd point out that we already have a Marylight tag so you don't have to put Twilight in the tags.

I liked this story. it was interesting, not sure if the comedy tag was justified though :unsuresweetie:

You've used the wrong Twilight tag, you need to use the one where shes an Alicorn not the one where she's still a unicorn (it's to the right, after the a fluttershy tag)

2142703 Thank you so much for catching that. It should be fixed now.

Thank you, now that that mistake has been rectified I shall be taking my leave, good day to you sir :moustache:

(I HATE Alicorn Twi :twilightangry2: may she burn in the pits of Tartarus for all iternity :pinkiecrazy:)

2142749 High five to that!

2142754 THE LORD HAS SPOKEN!!

I liked this story, it was cute and I loved the ending. :twilightsmile:

I have been waiting for this fic!

Headcanon = accepted

Short and cute.

One thing though. "Did Luna and Celestia have to learn how to do this when they became princesses? she wondered more than once."

The episode said Twilight was the first unicorn to ascend to alicorn status.

Or first pony. Can't remember the exact wording.

I have never seen so much raw idiocy in story comments before. I'm so sorry man, I'll read the story and give you my thoughts.

:rainbowdetermined2:< Come on, Princess Rookie!
I'll admit, you won me over with that nickname. Everything else was just icing on the cake. :twilightsmile:

My TwiShy instincts make me wish that Twilight and Flutters had a chance to cuddle a bit before RD showed up ... :fluttercry:
beautiful story, keep on keeping on! :twilightsmile:

2143052
They were not always princesses. They had to learn how to do things like fly while wearing a crown... :raritywink:

I have read some real horror stories about people submitting stories to EQD. Some of their reviewers are real pricks. :unsuresweetie:

2142999 I've honestly spent more time on here than on Equestria Daily, so I feel better about uploading my fiction here. Nothing against EQD. I just like the community here. But it's nice to know you like it all the same!

This was adorable, hahahaha. Good job. I especially liked how adorable Fluttershy was through it, all her blushing made me want to hug her. :yay:

I loved this story!!!! It was really adorable and cute. I liked the ending and thought it was perfect. Keep up the good work!:twilightsmile:

Yeah, 'Princess Rookie' was pretty good.:rainbowlaugh:

personally I think this story should be on EQD..... HOWEVER.
they got pretty strict rules and one of them is:

-at LEAST 3000 words

also, they are Grammar Nazi central.....

overall, it was a nice story and can almost be canon. I'm actually expecting the writers to come up with a "flight lesson" episode in-between episodes 4 and 9 of Season 4 as EVEN though Twilight flew at the end of Season 3, I believe it was more of the spur of the moment adrenaline or something and she probably will be in need of some lessons about more.... advanced flying

and I'm expecting episode 3 to deal with her being addressed as "her Majesty", having ponies bow down to her, and give some special favors all the time

I've written a concept like this two days ago, and you've gotten more views/likes/favs in one hour then I have in two days

I am jealous, but I still congratulate you...lucky son of a---naw I'm just kidding :pinkiehappy:

I'll give it read and a like and a fav.

"Twilight Sparkle needs to get used to having wings and learn how to fly"

Guessing this is Alternate Universe, then? Because she was clearly shown flying perfectly fine in the finale.

2143834

I don't know about Alternate Universe, unless it is canon that she can fly without a problem. I just figured Twilight being adorable and awkward as a flier made sense considering how adorable and awkward she was when she was making friends.

2143830

I'm just as surprised as you. Though I suppose because of the recent finale, Alicorn Twilight is going to be a sensitive issue (I was originally a skeptic myself). But I'd still like to see your story if that's okay.

2143907
>unless it is canon that she can fly without a problem

It is. Right at the end of the episode, she flies (very quickly, I may add) right out of Canterlot and up to the screen. I don't think she has any trouble flying.

Being awkward making friends =/= being awkward with new wings

You troll dash. You troll.:trollestia:

2143907
oh sure go ahead. I don't want to be a douche and put a link in your comments so just click my name and look for the newest one I posted.:derpytongue2:

2143916 Fair enough. Thanks for the input!

THIS IS SO ADORABLE.

And yeah, I'm with Ornby on this one. Too many post-coronation fics I've seen have been Twilight being drawn away from her friends, when neither Twilight's character nor the writers' comments lead me to conclude that that will be the case. This was really lovely, so thank you.

Rainbow Troll is best pony :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I'm still reading, but if I may make a suggestion? This song makes good reading supplement.

2143916
Sure, she flies up to the screen, right after which she slams into a tree. :P
One decent glide does not a good flier make.

2143916 I'm pretty sure that it would take at least a few weeks to get a coronation set up. Plenty of time to learn to fly before it happens.

I like the concept, and the interaction was adorable! Namely between Twilight and Fluttershy :twilightsmile::yay:

....Rainbow Dash, you JERK :twilightangry2::rainbowlaugh: Princess or not, Twilight will make you pay for that :ajsmug:

The creators have said Twilight's personality will stay the same :raritywink: I suspected as much, but it's still nice to hear :raritystarry:

Princess rookie, I like that nickname for Twilight.:rainbowdetermined2:

And that prank and the end, hilarious!!!:rainbowlaugh:

Thumbs up and faved.

Hello, Rough-Draft, I am Inspector Me. *Pauses for sounds of awe.*

Anyways, I recently reviewed the Courtship book, and was so dearly impressed by your writing that I had to check out more of your writing! So here are some of my comments and overall reviews. Great job!

She shook herself off and air-dried her mane and tail as best she could.

((Good descriptive detail. Maybe add the color to it next time, and how the water drops flew off of the mane? Just one for details here!))

“I’m fine,” Twilight said, though she didn’t sound fine. She adjusted the crown and looked at her wings. “Just trying to get used to these.”

((Hmm, this would be a good spot to briefly describe her wings. Maybe a few feathers are bent and out of wack from the crash?))

“You might be right, Princess Rookie.

((Nicknames! I love it! And F’Shy’s reaction is so realistic after that… You have an amazing knack for keeping true to the characters and their development!))

(11;55am) LEFT OFF AT; “That’s the spirit!” Rainbow Dash blew her whistle. “Alright, rookies! On those wings! Let’s move, move, move!”

Inspector Me shall be returning soon for more reviews!!! Please hold.

I...have...RETURNED!!
*round of applause*
Anyways, here is the rest of my review;

The only real hassle was coordinating her flying with her magic as she tried to keep her crown on through every maneuver.

((Now that is a detail I didn’t consider, well played!))

Flying Diper? HAHAHHAHAHA! Well played, R’Dash!!

OVERALL REVIEW; Compleate.

Left over Comments;

This is a great short story, uplifting, warming, with a tinges of reality at F'Shy's feeling of slight sadness. It is a good detail to add, how they might feel as T'Sparkle becoming a princess, and gaining the ability of flight. What will it mean for their friendship? As a author, it is completely up to you, and since only you know where you want to go with it, you keep the reader riveted, and eager to find out more! Who knows, T'Sparkle could become a totally conceited princess, and try to outbest R'Dash in every turn. Or, she could remain herself, and 'herself' is up for you to decide. The best thing about being the creator!!

I am pleased with what I read, and will be trotting over to your next written piece, as soon as I finish other reviews! If you like to request what I should review next, leave me a PM. :)

Well done, pegasister.

~Inspector Me

4584895 I'm actually a brony, though I'm all in favor of having more pegasisters in the fandom. And I'm glad you liked my stories.

4584902 Dude, my bad!! XD

Even better, then. :)

PM what you want me to review next?

This was painfully adorable. :pinkiehappy: And very well-written, too.
