Okay like I place beneath my username on my account. I'm using Dragon natural speaking program to help me out with spelling and such, but it's not a 100% perfect. I got this program just like the end of May this year and in a way I'm still teaching it how what words go with how I pronounce some words always going to make a whole lot of mistakes and mystique one word for another, I'm trying to keep an eye out for them. But I will meant I will miss some like I've been aware about shining being mistaken for singing and I been trying to keep an eye out for it but I'll sometimes miss it if you see it, or any other words that may be that Dragon program miss interpret with me let me know what the word is what it should be spelled as which chapter they are where in these chapters. They are and I'll try to fix them. As soon as I can again IM sorry about this I saw they had a pretty good hold on it, but someone just pointed it out to me that I more than likely and not and night I'd had her complaint about people saying fix my grammar, but somebody has pointed out to me what the main issue with my grammar of the work placement though I double checked on my Word document and did the switchers think where it says takes us on a word and you could switch it. I fixed the shining singing thing and tell me that I did it 17 times without correcting it by mistake, which felt very embarrassing, but it would have been you guard twice as bad if not three times as bad if I didn't write to keep an eye out for it. So let me know and I'll try to fix it. As soon as I can. Thank you for your time. And I hope you enjoy the story.

It was a cold winter day in Canterlot, and Princess Celestia was heading to her school along with her faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. To which said the student was very excited about what was happening. Today was midterm exams and Princess Celestia thought that Twilight could be a good example for the young fillies and colts who were turning in their final exam projects.

“Princess Celestia I can’t believe you’re having me accompany you during the midterm exams!" Twilight smiled gratefully, normally any type of exam made Twilight worried to various extents. But since she wasn't the one taking the exams, she was fine and can't wait to see what will happen.

But Princess Celestia was thinking about the upcoming summer of the 1000 Summer's Sun Celebration; the very same celebration that celebrates the time she sent her sister to the moon because she did not see that her sister needed her. The guilt still eating at her with every day that passes.

But this Summer's Sun Celebration was different. Because this one is the one where her sister will come back but not as Princess Luna at first, but Nightmare Moon. She hoped that Twilight will be ready when she comes and will be able to turn Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna.

Luckily for her, she was able to catch what Twilight just said. Celestia mirrored her smile. “But of course, my most faithful student can join me! After all, this midterm exam. It is a little bit different than any other midterm that we have done before. We’re trying something new…With this group of students.”

Twilight started getting all giddy and excited about this new form of exams at Celestia School for Gifted Unicorns. “You mean the one where students tried to make a technology item? To which the goal to have it work with a spell that they learned so far?”

Celestia nodded, “That’s right. Who knows what new findings we can have with the mixture of technologies and spells put together? And with such bright minds and young thoughts to bring out new ideas and such. We might be able to make Equestria even better than it is now.”

Twilight just nodded and continued walking to school with Princess Celestia. The two made it to the classroom where is Professor Bright Mind. “Ah, Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle. So glad you to come to our midterm exams." He greeted pleasantly.

Princess Celestia chuckled at that, “Well, we are trying something new at the school and I couldn’t resist seeing what will happen.”

Bright Mind nodded at her statement with a smile on his face. Just then, they heard two ponies arguing nearby. “Oh no,"

Bright Mind groaned. "Not the 'Time Twins' again.”

Princess Celestia and Twilight gave each other confused glances as Princess Celestia spoke up, “Um, pardon me Bright Mind, but who are the 'Time Twins'?”

Bright Mind gave an anxious look and grabbed a handkerchief out of nowhere, wiping his forehead with it. “Oh, my apologies Princess! The Time Twins are a pair of twins who like competing with each other. One of them is named Past Time, and the other one is named Future Time.”

Both Princess Celestia and Twilight just nodded their heads to him, but Twilight is a little bit worried from hearing about it. “I see...Is there going to be a problem with the exams?”

Bright Mind just shook his head and gave Twilight the best smile he could manage; even though he was worried himself. “Well, most times we just let them do their presentations at the same time. It gets them distracted, and it’s normally safe when we do that with these two. Let’s just hope it goes smoothly again like normal.”

Princess Celestia gave Bright Mind a skeptical look, “I thought when the students give out presentations during the midterm or finals, each student goes one at a time. Why would you have two go at the same time? Isn’t that a little dangerous?”

Bright Mind gave Princess Celestia a blank expression, “Trust me, Princess Celestia, it is more dangerous to have those two go at separate times. Then, at the same time, they have been students here for up about three years now and I have learned it the hard way: giving them the exams. Or presentations at different times, it’s a bad idea. We even try putting them in separate classes, but it ends up them complaining that the others getting a better education than the other. They can sense when the other uses their magic. So if one class is having it where they are doing some type of magic tests, the other will know and think that the others are getting a better education and more practice with their magic. Trust me, it is not pretty. So~ we just have it this way with those two.”

Princess Celestia and Twilight just gave him a terrified look but nodded their heads. That is until Princess Celestia regained her composure and gave a small cough, “Well, why don’t we start with those two first so then we can get them done without having to worry about them destroying each other’s projects?”

Bright Mind was smiling happily at Princess Celestia, “That’s the spirit, Princess! We always start with those two when we do projects or magic tests with their class. Follow me, and we can get started.”

The three walked up to the two little colts. “Hello, boys. Princess Celestia and her student are here to watch you perform your projects. So what great magical discovery with technology take you to come up with?”

The Time Twins look exactly alike: white coats, brown mane, and tails with sapphire eyes. Even their cutie marks were almost identical. Each one has an hourglass. The only difference is one hourglass was blue while the other was red.

The colt with the blue hourglass was the first one to speak, “Greetings my ladies. My name is Past Time. My magical invention is a device that works with some pony's magic frequency to allow them to conduct an age reduction spell; which will help turn expired food into fresh food as if they were just made yesterday. Shops and markets will be able to take their expired produce and freshen them up; therefore will not need to worry about wasting perfectly good food. Or if there comes a shortage, we don’t have to worry about that needed food being wasted. Like for wars or famine or droughts.”

Just then, his brother pushed him away, “My name is Future Time, and my project is a device that can help transfer spells to other ponies. This way, a family spells and style of magic can be passed down through generations much easier without the need to practice or trained the unicorns to know the family spell.”

Both ideas were very interesting, but Twilight preferred Past Time’s idea over Future Time’s; she thinks unicorns should work for the spell that they use, not get an easy shortcut. Princess Celestia was thinking the same thing, but she was also thinking if Blueblood heard about Future Time's spell invention. He would probably never stop bothering to get all of her spells so he could just misuse use them or brag that he can do the same things she can. She made a mental note to get his copies of the blueprints and destroy them along with the machine in hopes that this never comes out of the classroom.

“That sounds very interesting mind showing us how they work?” Asked Princess Celestia.

The two nodded their heads and began focusing their magic on their own devices. Everything seemed to be going well until both of them at the same time thought it was a good idea to focus a little bit of their magic into their sibling's invention. In hopes to sabotage the others sibling’s project which cost both machines to malfunction, the magic from both devices merged into one bouncing off the walls. Everypony was screaming in panic as they were trying to get away from the ball of magic and the ball of energy was now heading towards Twilight.

“Twilight, watch out!”

Before the magic could hit Twilight, Princess Celestia came in between Twilight and the spell. As soon as Princess Celestia got between the two she began to cast a shield spell. Unfortunately, she was not quick enough and was hit by the ball of magic.

Twilight panicked, “Princess Celestia!!!”

Just then, near the climax of the spell of beam came out of it, heading toward the nearest thing around Princess Celestia. To which said spell was making her feel as she did when she had her magic flared during the entrance exam back when she was a filly. When the magic finally subsided there was a lot of smoke. Everypony was either looking at the current technology, the two colts, or where Princess Celestia and Twilight were.

When the smoke finally subsided, Twilight stop coughing and began to look at where she last saw Princess Celestia.

But as soon as she did, she gasped. Instead of seeing the tall regal Princess, she saw a little Alicorn filly with a pink mane that wasn’t flowing anymore with Celestia’s Cutie Mark. So by this, Twilight could tell that this little filly that looked no older than seven years old was Princess Celestia.

The little filly was still coughing from the smoke that subsided from the explosion.

“P-Princess Celestia! Um...I don’t know if I should ask if you’re okay because I’m not sure you as a filly counts as you being okay," Twilight gulped, feeling worried.

At hearing what her faithful student just said Celestia just froze right then. Then she slowly started looking around her to see that everything seem so much bigger than she saw a few moments ago.

She slowly turns to her student, seeing that Twilight was now taller than her words made Celestia feel a little awkward about all this.

“Well other than the fact that I’m now reduced to a filly, I think I’m all right," Celestia smiled kindly even though her voice shrank. "Although I do feel a bit weaker than before.”

At this time Celestia looked at the clock and saw that was around the time when she would normally start lowering the sun and beginning to raise the moon.

So she began to charge up her horn and try to set the sun, but the sun when not budge and she got exhausted right away. “Deathly my magic got weaker," she continued. "I can’t lower the sun.”

At this everypony gasped and started to panic even though it was true that years ago before Celestia took the throne that unicorns used to raise and lower night and day. But it took a bunch of powerful unicorns to do so, and they lost the spell to do it. They couldn’t just bunch up a unicorn and activate what they don’t know anymore.

Just then Bright Mind came up to Celestia and Twilight; he thinks he knows what may have happened. “If I may Princess," he stated, "I think I may know what has happened. You see the two projects of the Time Twins, somewhat merged, and the binder spells to some extent. Past Time’s part of his project is where that crest and turned you into a filly. But I’m afraid that Future Time's project, which was meant to transfer spells, instead took the magic that you had from your grown-up age, all the way back to the age you are right now. It appears to be a seven-year-old filly and more than likely transferred it all up to your student Twilight which would explain the beam that left your body and hit her before all this smoke appeared. So I would have to assume that at the moment your student has all your magic and is the only one who can reason lower the sun and moon until we fix this mess.”

As soon as Bright Mind finished his statement, everypony was staring at Twilight which made her very nervous.

She was about to have a panic attack until Princess Celestia places a hoof on Twilight's foreleg. Twilight looked down toward Celestia and saw Celestia giving her a reassuring smile, “It’s all right, Twilight. Unlike the spell that takes multiple unicorns to raise and lower the sun and moon, my magic normally makes it a lot easier. Just think of the sun as a toy ball that somehow naturally floats on its own over a table. You just have to get the ball to go from one side of the table to the other side of the table, then for the moon to do it at it revert pulled the moon out of the out of under the table and place into the sky. There's no need to worry.”

After Celestia said all this, Twilight just nodded her head and concentrated on her magic. Her horn aimed towards the sun from a window and the sun set slowly. Then, she used her magic again to bring forth the moon. Twilight was shocked that she was able to do this, but then she noticed that the stars were still missing. “Um...Princess, not that lowering the sun and rising the moon was such an honor and was very interesting for me to do so; but why aren’t the stars out with the moon?”

As soon as Twilight said that, Celestia realize that she forgot about the stars herself and began to giggle at that, “Well, when it comes to the stars, they work a little bit differently. All you need to do is tell your magic to bring out the stars while thinking about the stars and constellations and imagine where they should be. Imagine the night sky as a canvas and you’re doing a portrait. You already painted the moon, but you just need to bring forth the night. Now, I know you’re into astronomy, because ever since you became my student I have caught you in the astronomy tower stargazing, and I had to literally, drag you off to bed at times. And I also know you make notes about it with such details so this should be just fine if you imagine it’s like that but on the real night sky okay?”

After hearing what Princess Celestia had told her, she nodded and began to focus her magic once more. She imagines the night sky of every star every constellation nebula, and everything else she knew about the night. Then she let it out and the stars appeared in the night sky. After this Twilight smiled, “I can’t believe it! I did it! I really~ did it!”

Celestia just smiled at her student beaming with pride. (Twilight is natural at this. I remember when I tried to replicate Luna’s night. It took me at least 10 years to start getting a hang of it.)

Just then Celestia’s eyes widened at the sudden realization. (LUNA!!! OH NO!!! The 1000 Summer’s Sun Celebration is this summer! The very summer solstice where Nightmare Moon will be set free. What am I going to do?! What will my sister do when she sees me as a FILLY?! Okay, Celestia, calm down. We're not even close to summer. It's December, and it's not even Heartwarming yet. I just need to get this fixed before summer comes.)

But before Celestia could think some more, Royal Guards came rushing into the room even though they were too late to help.

Soon, after most of the guards came in, Twilight's B.B.B.F.F. (Big Brother Best Friend Forever), Captain Shining Armor came galloping in. “Is everything all right in here?" He asked anxiously, hoping Twilight wasn't hurt nor the crowd and Princess. "We saw the explosion. By the time we got into the school, a lot of other magic inventions projects were going off. It took us forever to get up here. And…Why is Princess Celestia a little filly?”

Celestia looked shocked at Shining Armor. She was surprised that he with able to tell right away that she was now a filly. But soon after she composed herself, she started walking towards Shining Armor. “Captain Armor we seem to have had a little magical mishap here."

Celestia said, trying her best to sound stern. But sadly a filly is never serious, that she had heard. "I think from now on, we will only have the students who are around Twilight's age to mix technologies with magic exams instead of young fillies and colts. And as much as I would love to tell you in more detail what has happened, I would think it would be best if we inform the magic counsel and my niece, Princess Cadance, to know about the situation as well. I would like to only bring this up once. Twilight, come along; you are needed for this meeting as well.”

The two siblings looked at each other, then back to Princess Celestia, then back to each other again. They both agree to follow her, but before they left, Shining Armor ordered half of his guards to get the information about what has happened in the examination room and ordered the other half of his guards in that room to go get the Council and Princess Cadance.

Soon after that was done Shining, Twilight and Celestia started heading off to the Royals' throne room.

Once everyone got to the throne room and settled down from the shock of seeing Princess Celestia as a little filly. The Council along with Princess Cadence, Princess Celestia, Twilight, and Shining Armor began discussing what happened and what the best choice of action is. “I think there is only one good choice at this point. Which is until we can get Princess Celestia back to normal. We should have Princess Cadence run Equestria as well as the meetings, the paperwork, and court done by her for now while Princess Celestia may give her some advice when needed. When Twilight takes care of the sun and moon. As for Princess Celestia shall have somebody assigned to watch over her until we get this fixed. Because we do not know how the spell will affect her and if she’ll start acting like the age she is right now.”

The rest of the Council thought this with a good idea, but Cadence seemed a little worried about this while Princess Celestia was in shock at hearing this Shining Armor was looking back and forth between Cadence and Twilight with a worried look on his face because he knew that the tasks that were just suggested being given to the two were very hard and demanding tasks and he worried about their well-being. When Twilight had a determent look thinking about how she could find a way to turn Celestia back to normal since her only tasks word to bring forth day and night, and she felt like she was getting a good hold on that from her first time doing it. And since you pretty much just have to do it two times a day. Then, she has more than time on her hoofs to help figure out how to reverse all this. Just then, Princess Celestia finally got out of her shocked state and was not too happy with the arrangements. “Your joking, you’re joking, right? You can’t be serious right? I’ve might have been reduced to the age of a filly. And most of my magic is now contained in my student but come on. I can still do daily quart and paperwork just fine, thank you very much.”

The female members of the Council were giving off looks that clearly showed that all they wanted to do was just scoop up Princess Celestia and start cooing and giving her lots of attention since she looked so cute as a little filly. To which the male members of the Council saw this and knew that this would be very bad if one of the higher nobles were trying to talk to her during court but couldn’t take her very seriously, because of her cuteness. Also, if any dignitaries from another country saw Celestia right now, they might start thinking that Equestria might be in a state of weakness with Celestia being so young and might try to hurt her or start a war with Equestria. To which none of the members of the Council wanted that to happen, finally one male member of the Council stepped forward to state the reason why this was the best course of action. “Forgive me, Princess, but you have to think about how our subjects will behave during court if they see a little filly on the throne, even if they know it’s you. Just look at our female members of the Council. They look like they’re ready to pounce and give you a lot of hugs and kisses because in their eyes you are just too cute to take seriously. And if any dignitaries come during this time. Just imagine what they might do, and with the fact that you that all you’re magic except the amount you have back when you were filly is now inside your student. You wouldn’t be able to defend yourself, let alone all the Equestria in the state you are in. So it’s best if you just let your niece Princess Cadence take care of the court and since most documents and papers works are results from the court then Cadence would know what the documents are and know what’s going on. So it is easier for Cadence to do it, than you doing it without being a quart.”

Celestia thought about it for a moment, realizing what he said was true. Although she did not like that all that much. She’s been used to ruling Equestria for nearly 1000 years and with the fact that her sister is coming soon as Nightmare Moon was adding more to her plate than normal. And now, all this is making her worried even more about what could happen if she still if the filly. When Nightmare Moon returns from her thousand-year imprisonment on the moon. Also, she did not like the fact that she was getting a babysitter in all this. How can she get anything prepared for Nightmare Moon's return to bring forth it in eternal night. If somebody’s watching her every move she would have to figure out something along the way. “Fine, I understand why you want Cadence to do quart and all the paperwork and running the kingdom when I’m in this state and I already knew ahead of time that Twilight would have to do my duties of bringing forth the day and night. But why do I need a babysitter? I can pretty much take care of myself. I might look like a filly but I am a full-grown mare that knows what to do and not to do. And who would you even have watched me Shining Armor?”

The same member of the Council who spoke about the reason why Cadence should take care of royal duties cleared his throat to bring up the reason why he thinks somebody should watch. “For starters Princess Celestia we do not know if there are any side effects from the explosion that could make you start behaving like a little filly."

Celestial looked like somepony did a prank on her and was now mortified at what. But the pony kept on going knowing that she needed to hear this. "Also, with most of your magic gone you can’t protect yourself as well as you normally could. A lot of ponies saw what happened and a lot of them were young fillies and colts which more than likely have already told their parents all about what they just saw today. And whether they believe their children are not there going to bring this topic up to others, and some might even go to the teachers to ask if it’s true or not, and more than likely since you didn’t tell anyone to keep this a secret. The teachers might confirm it thinking it is okay to talk about it. And if bandits, ponies who want to take over the government, or somebody who wants easy picking on getting money by having you for ransom find out about this. It would not be wise to have you always by yourself. Because they’ll try to kidnap you or get rid of you."

Nightmare Moon was the first pony she thought of when the topic of somepony harming her. But she rather is hurt by her sister than anyone else. But again he kept on going. "Just having somepony watching over you will least at least turn away some ponys away and make us feel a lot better. Rather than knowing for a fact that you’re all by yourself 24 seven where no one can. Oh please let ponies know you’re taken. If it does happen. Do you understand now why you need somebody watching over you?”

Celestia was now just frozen, she never thought about this whatsoever. Sure Equestria is a lot safer now than back when she was a filly. But Equestria is still not perfect when it comes to safety and even though it was not brought up if any other nations find out they could try to kidnap or take over Equestria. So she started having second thoughts about not having somebody with her now and then she sighed in defeat on this very. “Fine, I get your point, but that still doesn’t answer my question on who you have in mind watching over me until this is fixed.”

At that moment, one of the female members of the Council regained her composer and stepped up next to the male member of the Council who was speaking for them. “I believe since your student has most of your magic and the fact she might know you better than anyone else. That the task of watching over you should be given to your student Twilight Sparkle.”

At hearing this Cadance, Shining, Twilight, and Celestia's eyes went as wide as dinner plates. Their mouths almost hit the floor shocked from hearing this. And all in unison said. “WHAT!!!”

To which their yells were so loud that Nightmare Moon jumped and let out a yelped in shock from actually hearing something other than her own voice for the past thousand years. She didn’t even think it was possible to hear anything let alone a yell from her homeworld to reach the moon. It confused her, yet intrigued her, making her wonder what could’ve been going on. Back on her homeworld that a yell could be so loud to reach her.

Back in Equestria’s throne room. The four ponies, who were shocked by the idea that the Council brought forth. Finally, it was Twilight, who regained her composer for once composer before the others and brought her thoughts into this matter. “With all due respect, I thought that besides raising and lowering the sun and moon. I would be working with the group of ponies who would be trying to figure out how to reverse what happened to Celestia and me. Sure there might be times when we’ll have to scan Celestia and myself for some data. But most of the time, it will be looking at the two boys is notes and taking a look at what’s left of their machines to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. And with that task mixed in with raising and lowering the sun and moon. It would be kinda hard for me watching over Princess Celestia.”

The same member of the Council that had been speaking most times took over once again. “Even though you’re one of the brightest ponies we know there is the fact that we don’t know if yours in presence in the research on how to undo it might affect in a negative way on how long it will take to undo all this. So you will not be a part of the team that will be working on undoing all this. So you will be given the task of watching over Princess Celestia and with the fact that Hearts Worming’s coming up. And this would be a really bad time to gather up guards to watch over Celestia. The fact that your brother is the captain of the Royal Guard can be plenty enough of security around holidays. Which more than likely will be the biggest time frame where people might try to do something to Celestia. On a normal daily basis, it becomes less likely because there are fewer guards on vacation, and ponies guards are a lot more on the alert than on holidays when there just trying to enjoy themselves and have fun. So having Princess Celestia stay with you and your family during Hearts Warming is a good idea. And as brought up you know Princess Celestia better than anyone besides Cadence and with her doing most Royal duties she won’t be able to take care of Celestia. So it’s just best if you watch over Princess Celestia until all of this is fixed. And there are 10 members of the Council saying this is the best course of action and there are only four of you who think it isn't a good idea. Sure Celestia and Cadence count as two points instead of one point on decision-making. But that would be six versus 10 points so this is how it’s going to be.”

At this Celestia, Cadance, Shining, and Twilight gave each other’s puzzled looks, but soon after letting out a sigh of defeat and nodded their heads. Once everything else was saddled and such. Everyone went their separate ways Shining what was Cadence and the Council to help get Cadence ready to run Equestria for now until this mess was fixed. While Celestia and Twilight decided to head to Twilight quarters to let her number one assistant Spike know what’s going on.

As soon as the two reached Twilight's quarters and went in they notice Spike had just gotten done reorganizing all of Twilight’s books and that he was heading straight toward them. “Hey, Twilight how did it go with helping out Princess Celestia with midterms today? I bet you had a great time you have been waiting to do this with Princess Celestia ever since she told you about it, and how she would like you to join her for it. You were jumping around in the room, saying, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, over and over again jumping around like a little school filly.”

At hearing this Celestia chuckled, and by doing so caused Twilight to blush and for Spike to finally look and noticed Celestia. Which caused Spike to think of a bazillion questions that were running through his head. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and just ask. “Um… Twilight who is this? Did Princess Celestia decide to have another student and now instead of having just one student she now has two and she asked you to watch over her second student for a bit? Wait, the filly has both wings and a horn so that means this little one is an Alicorn. Wait! Is Princess Celestia secretly married and this is her secret daughter and Princess Celestia finally trusts you with the secret that she doesn’t want anyone else to know about? Or Cadence's little sister? But wait I thought Cadence lost her parents and was taken in by Princess Celestia three years before you were even born. Oh, sweet Celestia don’t tell me that Shining Armor got Cadence pregnant, and this is their daughter?!”

At hearing this both Celestia and Twilight were mortified at what Spike just said. Sure they expected Spike to think that Celestia maybtakenok on another student and asked Twilight to watch the child for a while. And both thought the idea of Celestia having a secret husband and child was kind of funny. But the idea of Cadence and Shining having a child and keeping it hidden for a few years up until now was just wrong in their thoughts. For starters, the two aren’t even married yet sure Celestia knew that the two were dating. Although Twilight didn’t know that part yet. Which Celestia knew it was up to them when to tell her. But she knew that the two wouldn't do something like this. And if something like this did happen they wouldn't have kept it a secret from her or Twilight. And for so long as well because come on it with a confirmed that she is stuck as a seven-year-old at the moment and there was no way those two could keep a secret like that for so long. She gives him that they could maybe pull it off for three years the longest not seven years. Finally Twilight was able to ask the question that both Celestia and herself were wondering. “Spike, why in the wide world of Equestria would you think that this filly is my brother and old babysitters’ child?”

Spike then gave her a really? look before giving his answer. “Because she has the same coat as Shining, her pink hair is the same color as Cadence's pink streaks that are hair and coat, and her eyes match yours and Cadence's to some extent. As well as the fact that those two have been dating for some time now.”

After hearing Spike's reasons for thinking that she decided to take another good look at Celestia. Which whether she liked it or not, was very much true now that she thought about it Celestia does look like a mix of Shining and Cadence. Just then she thought of what Spike said about the two dating. “Wait since when did those two start dating each other?”

Celestia just sighed at that and decided that she should finally speak. “They have been dating each other ever since two weeks after you passed your entrance exam and became my personal student Twilight. And Spike I’m Princess Celestia there was just a little mishap at the midterms that now I’m stuck as a filly and the Council thought it would be a good idea if Twilight watch over me until I returned to normal.”

This time it was Spike’s turn to give a shocked looked by the time he finally regained his composure he thought of something and thought it would be best if he brought it up. “Um, Twilight what are we going to do on the day we were planning on going back to your parent's place for Hearts Worming break? We already packed everything we were planning on going to your parent's place for the break. But if what Celestia said is true then shouldn’t we go to her room and start packing her things to bring over to your parent's place? And if part of this is to keep her safe shouldn’t she sleep by you tonight, to be safe and if so does she sleep with us in here, or are we going to be in her room tonight?”

Upon hearing this. They both just realized the predicament they didn’t think of. But it was true that Twilight was planning on heading home for the holidays the next day, and that normally Celestia stayed in the Castle during the holidays or go to a festival or get invited to go someplace at times. So now they needed to think about what their next move is gonna be and what the best choice on the matter is. At this point, Twilight looked at her clock and noticed that it was near suppertime. “Well, it’s almost suppertime so we should probably start heading to the dining room. With luck, both Cadence and Shining are ready there or will be there soon. We should maybe hear their thoughts on this matter and discuss what the best course of action should be.”

Both Spike and Celestia nodded in agreement at the idea also the two were getting hungry anyways and some food might help them think about, what to do next. So Twilight opened her door and got ready to leave the room Spike on her back. But Twilight started to wonder if Celestia might be tired from all that has happened today with her being the size of a filly and all. So just to play safe then sorry. She levitated Celestia onto her back in front of Spike, so if somehow Celestia does fall Spike just has to catch her. Which made both Spike and Celestia shocked at what she just did. But Spike thought about it for a bit and figured out what Twilight was thinking at the moment and thought it was probably a good move on her part. When Celestia felt a little upset, but yet for some strange reason felt a little bit of joy that Twilight was willing to do this for her so Celestia just sat there and gave an appreciative smile. Seeing this Twilight took it as Celestia being all right with this and that Celestia wasn’t going to throw any objections Twilight smiled back at the two and began heading off to the dining room.

Once the three got into the dining room both Celestia and Spike hopped off of Twilight’s back and the three started heading to their seats on the table. As soon as they did both Shining and Cadence came into the dining room as well. The two of them headed to their seats as well. Soon after their dinner came out and the five began to eat. During this time twilight was trying to figure out the best way to ask both Cadence and Shining about the best course of action with Celestia during the holidays. Finally, she thought of the best way and cleared her throat. “Um Shining, Cadence there are some things Spike brought up that I thought we should address.”

At hearing this, everyone stopped eating and looked at Twilight, finally, Cadence spoke next. “Sure, Twilight what is it?”

Twilight took a deep breath and let it out. “Well, you know tomorrow Shining and I are going home for the holiday right?”

Both Cadence and Shining nodded their heads in confirm-meant of this so Twilight continued while at that time Shining decided was a good time to drink some water. “Well, since the Council made it an order that I watch over Celestia until she’s back to normal that would mean she would have to come home with us. And I do not know how mom and dad are going to react, whether they are going to be just as calm as Celestia is, and understand why I brought her home. Or are they going to jump the gun like Spike did and think that Celestia is yours and Shining’s daughter that you have been keeping hidden for the past seven years?”

At this Shining did a huge spit tank that reach Spike on the other side and coughing was what little water was still trapped in his throat that he was choking on. While Cadence was blushing so hard that her pink coat almost turned Rose red. Once they both were able to get words registered out of their mouth. They both said in unison, “WHAT!!!” As loud as they could

At this Celestia couldn’t hold herself and started chuckling at the reactions the two were giving. She couldn't help herself at this moment that is until the two gave her a hard stare. Before they start glaring at Spike with an angry tone Shining finally brought up his thoughts on the matter. “Now why would Spike even think that?”

Twilight looked at them both and thought it would be a good idea just to tell him what Spike told her. “Well from what Spike told me Celestia’s eyes and hair matches Cadence while her coat matches yours and the fact that she than Alicorn and also the fact that you guys have been dating since I became Celestia's student and didn’t tell me!”

At hearing what Twilight just said about them dating each other made them very uneasy. They were trying to figure out the best way to tell her but never thought of the best way to do it and now it looks like they had no choice but to talk about it. “Twilight, we tried to figure out the best way to tell you but either something came up for us, something came up for you, or we didn’t think about it at the time. we're sorry if this really upset you, sis.” Shining said while giving his best apologetic look, he could give to her.

Twilight looked at the two and she could tell that they were planning on telling her, but probably didn’t figure out the best time to do so. And truth be told, she always wanted those two to get together so she was going to let it go for now. “It’s fine. Besides, I always wanted you two to get together because I thought of Cadence as a big sister.”

Everyone gave a relieved look at hearing this and Shining let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear, I don’t know what I would’ve done if you were all mad and went against it."

Cadence then let out a little chuckle, nodding her head to Shining's statement. “Agreed. After all, Twilight was the whole reason why we got together. If she were against it. I don't know what I would do either.”

Twilight smiled at this, but then she gave a serious look to everybody. “That still doesn’t answer the question about how we're going to handle the matter. I’m more concerned about that than you’re love life.”

Shining just chuckled at what Twilight just said, and gave her a reassuring smile. “Just get Celestia prepared for coming over to our parent's place for the holidays and just worry about taking care of her and Spike. I’ll explain everything to our parents about what is going on and hopefully, they won’t jump to any conclusions right on the dot.”

Everyone agreed with the plan and continue eating their supper and soon after they were all done eating and went their separate ways. Shining and Cadence doing last-minute royal duties before the holiday break and heading off to pack up Celestia's things for the holiday break. But before they got far from the dining room. Twilight thought it was a good idea to grab the stuff that Spike in her already packed and bring it to Celestia’s room so then all their luggage are all together and they would only need to make one trip, to bring the luggage out. Both Spike and Celestia thought that was a good idea so they first stopped by Twilight’s and Spike’s room to get their belongings and headed off to Celestia’s room.

Once they finally got to Celestia’s bed chambers. Celestia went to her bed and pulled a large suitcase out of it and then turn to Twilight and Spike. “Okay, so what would you recommend that I should bring?”

Twilight thought about it for a moment before answering Celestia’s question. “Well, you can bring any books that you have been reading or any books you like to read. You can bring anything you really like if you like to play music or listen to music. You could bring some musical stuff or art supplies. Anything you want to bring for fun will do just fine. Along with bathroom essentials like a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and other stuff. Any type of clothing you like wearing pajamas and such, but you should bring some from of warm clothes like hats scarves a winter coat that kind of stuff to keep you warm.”

At hearing this Celestia froze though only piece of clothing she own were her Royal Regalia that she had on right now. Or the dresses she wore on very rare occasions, but they’re too big for her now. Any close that maybe would fit her right now, was left behind at the Castle of the two sisters, and more than likely are damaged beyond repair now. She didn’t even own any winter wear because of her being linked to the sun always kept her warm. But now that Twilight has most of her magic and it seems that she might be connected to the sun for the time being that could be a problem Celestia chuckled nervously and looked at Twilight and Spike. “Funny thing, I don’t own any winter clothes normally my link to the sun. Would help me stay warm, but I do remember back when I was a filly I did where winter clothes during the winter because my connection wasn’t all that strong back then.”

After hearing this, Twilight thought about it for moment. She doesn’t recall any time and Celestia wore anything else other than her regalia, so it mad sense, and also come to think about it she doesn't have any would probably be too big for her at the moment. Twilight looked down at Celestia and gave her a reassuring smile. “That’s okay, I have a few extra scarves in one of my bags will just have to get you a hat or earmuffs a coat and some winter boots before we get to my parents place. Because one of the family traditions is doing a big snowball fight, making snow ponies, snow forts and a lot of other stuff out in the snow. And we don't want you to catch a cold. If you decide to partake in it now do we.”

At hearing this Celestia just smiled and the three packed up everything that Celestia thought she would need during her stay at Twilight’s parents place. As soon as they were done Twilight help Celestia get it ready for bed and tucked her. Just before Spike and Twilight left the room Princess Celestia had other ideas. Even though she was used to her own room and knew there was nothing scary in her room for some strange reason she did not feel comfortable being all by yourself and didn’t want to be left alone. “It’s very late and we will need as much energy as we can get for everything we have planned for tomorrow. Would you two mind spending the night with me?”

Spike gave the puzzle what look wondering if the Princess was all right. When Twilight started to think that either this is a side effect of the spell or Celestia was very scared. From everything that went on today and probably wanted comfort. After all she will is a pony like everyone else. So Twilight gave Celestia a warm reassuring smile and nodded. “Sure Celestia, Spike and I don’t mind right Spike?”

Celestia smiled at this, as the two climbed onto her bed Twilight was in the middle Spike was to the left when she was on to the right and Spike with a ready out like a log. Which made the two chuckled at seeing this for a little bit. Twilight looked at Celestia and could tell that Celestia was a little nervous, so she assumed that more than likely the spell was making her bit scared for some reason. So Twilight wrapped her front hooves, around Celestia to try to help calm her down a bit. As soon as Twilight did this Celestia froze and looked up towards Twilight to see a reassuring smile. Which for some strange reason made her feel safe and secure. The two said good night and fell asleep. Not knowing what the next day will bring.

The next day everybody got up a breakfast and started leaving the Castle. Except for Shining and Cadence because the Royal adviser just found something that can’t wait until after hearts worming break so the two told everyone to go on ahead. Since Twilight was planning on stopping a clothing store for Celestia to get some winter wear anyways, and more than likely will get to their parents have about the same time out towards. Both Twilight and Spike were walking wearing all their winter clothes. While Celestia was once again on Twilight's back with only a scarf around her neck. Because Twilight didn't want Celestia getting any colder by having her walk in the snow. Which Celestia was very grateful for because as soon as they got outside it was proven to her that her linked to the sun wasn’t as strong as it normally is. And she was already getting cold from being outside and she’s even though she’s wearing one of Twilight’s scarves.

They walked until they reach the clothing store that. Twilight likes to get her winter wear from and walked in. It was a quaint little shop filled with clothes that you don’t normally see nobility or rich ponies wearing. Which right away made Celestia relieved to see she was not much about glamour Princess sure she’ll were dresses and that type of stuff if she needs to but that was the whole reason why she wore her royally regalia usually because it looked eloquent by yet simple. But she and, Twilight thought it was best to leave regalia in her room to try and bring less attention to themselves. Just then a store clerk with green coat a main unicorn with blue eyes, and scarf for a cutie Mark walked up to them with a warm smile. “Ah Twilight Sparkle, so nice to see you. What can I do to help you on this nice winter day?”

Twilight gave Jim a smile back “Hi Mr. Scarf I just need to look at your winter wear for young fillies for this little one that has been placed in my care for the time being. If you can just point out to where they are at. I’m sure I can find the right winter clothes for her by myself.”

Mr. Scarf look at Celestia, but did not really pay much attention to her too much, so he did not really notice her wings and thought it was one of her unicorn cousins so he just nodded his head and gave a warm smile out Celestia. “Very well follow me you’re just in luck, we just a new shipment of winter wear for fillies in fact, they gave us more than we ordered and when I contacted them to inform them of this. They told me the just keep bed without charge, so I’m having a little filly sell at the moment.”

Mr. Scarf took them to the young fillies section of the store and just then some more customers came into the store before he left them. He gave them a warm smile. “Let me know if you need anything or if you’re ready to check out.” And with that he went off to help his next customers.

Soon after Mr. Scarf last the three began to look at all the choices they had for her winter wear. At first Twilight was planning on looking for the fanciest winter wear she could find. But then she thought that it probably be best if she asked what Celestia would prefer rather than jump the gun and assume that Celestia would want the fanciest one in the shop since she rarely saw Celestia in anything other than her simple but yet extravagant regalia, so she turned to Celestia to ask. “So Celestia what type of style do you want?”

Celestia was shocked at hearing this normally ponies would just tell her what outfits would be best for her and that was the only time she got away with picking a what she wants to have in her wardrobe was a regalia and that along with hard enough as it did get her subjects to agree to what a regalia looked like. But this was Twilight she helped raise her to some extent and she more than likely knew that Celestia didn’t like the large and extravagant things, but the simple things more. After a moment. She smiled and was about to say something when Spike interrupted. “Oh come on Twilight Celestia wants the most decorated outfit she can get like this.”

As soon as Spike said this. He started thaking out what most nobles would say was extravagant, but to both Twilight and Celestia, it looked like the most ridiculous thing they could think of Twilight wondered how those outfit even got into the shop she never seen anything like it in to stop before, but then she remembered that they got more winter wear than normal, and what was really meant was they sent winter clothes that would normally high society would where. As soon as Twilight stopped thinking about it she realized Spike had been getting Celestia to put on all the outfits which as soon as she took a go look at Celestia she wanted the burst out laughing because the outfits looked the ridiculous. For starters, the one she’s currently wearing was a gem encrusted hat with matching in gem crested scarf at the end with matching pair of boots which the gems or are on the rim of the boot and the color scheme was green with blue gems which did not work well with Celestia’s white coat and pink main. With Celestia giving a pleading look for her to stop Spike.

Just before she was about to say something she noticed a white winters hat that had Celestia’s cutie Mark emblazoned on it with pink frills at the rim and up pink little fuzzy ball on the top with a matching scarf, two matching coat where one was all pink with white trimming when the other was an all-white coats, with pink trimming both having Celestia’s cutie Mark as the zippers which some of them of the two new colors were made for Pegasus when the others were made for unicorns and earth ponies to where, two matching boots-mittens incarceration for match the jackets and place right next to it a pair of earmuffs with a pink band the muff part white with Celestia’s cutie marks on the center of both sides. It was clearly a simple winter wear made for the young fillies who were big fans of Celestia. There was even of Cadence version of it with different coloration's and Cadence’s cutie Mark right next to it. So she levitated the Celestia version of the winter wear and levitated toward Celestia which caused Celestia and Spike to stop what they were doing, and looked at her. Which then Twilight smiled at them, and nodded her head towards the winter wear. “Celestia why don’t you try this on?”

Celestia just nodded at this and took off what Spike had her try on and put on what Twilight recommended. She first put on the hat, scarf and the pink coat and boots then looked at mirror and she liked it a lot. It was simple yet cute. She smiled then took up everything except the scarf and put on the earmuffs and the white version of the coat and boots, and looked at the mirror. She liked the earmuffs. But the rest kind of made her look like it was extra weight put on her instead of a coat and boots added on. She turned to Twilight and gave to her a grateful smile. “I like the hat, the, earmuffs, the scarf, the pink coat and pink boots, but I don’t really like the white coat and boots.”

Twilight nodded and smiled at this putting away all the random winter wear that Spike pulled out of the shelves and racks. “So is the winter wear you want me get you or do you want to keep looking?”

As soon as Twilight, asked the question Celestia gave a nervous look to Spike, seeing that he is still looking at the winter wear that Celestia was not all too comfortable wearing. Then she looked back at Twilight. “I would like to get this outfit if you don’t mind.”

Twilight looked at her with a smile. “Okay do you want just the hat, the earmuffs, or both?”

Celestia beamed as soon as she knew for a fact that she was not going to have to deal with Spike’s fashion taste anymore. “Both if you don’t mind.”

Twilight nodded levitating all the winter where she was going to buy and started towards the counter. “Come on you two let’s go buy these and then start heading to my parents place.”

Spike and Celestia nodded and followed Twilight to the checkout counter. As soon as they did Mr. Scarf got done selling a scarf to the ponies who came in right after them, and then turned his attention to Twilight with of bright smile. “Ah Twilight how does the search for winter wear?”

Twilight put all the stuff she which to buy on the counter and pulled out her wallet. “As a matter of fact we found everything we needed and I would like to buy these items also can you remove that price takes off of as you are checking out she is from warm climate area and she didn’t know it would be so cold up here during this time of year?.”

Mr. Scarf nodded his head, and didn't ask any more questions about it since that has happened before to him. So he checked out the items while taking off the takes, told Twilight the price, which she paid as Spike helped Celestia put them on right away. Twilight thank Mr. Scarf and he told her to come back again and have a nice day which she nodded at that statement and then they left the shop. Now that they got Celestia proper winter wear they could now start heading to Twilight’s parents place. Where they will be staying during hearts warming break.

When Twilight, Celestia, and Spike got to, Twilight parent’s home. They knocked on the door which a female unicorn with the greatest white coat with purple and white main and blue eyes was there to greet them, which was Twilight Velvet Twilight’s mom. She smiled as soon as she saw who was at the door. “Twilight, Spike. It so good to see you come in and who is this cute little filly you’ve brought with you?”

Twilight looked around to see if her brother was here with Cadence, but it didn’t look like they were here yet, she only saw her father on the couch. Which was maybe a good thing she didn’t want her parents starting to jump the gun like Spike did. But now she had to explain it all by herself without any backup besides Celestia and Spike of course, so she took a deep breath, deciding that it would be best to just tell the truth on what was going on. “Mom, dad, there was an accident at Celestia school for gifted unicorns and because of it Celestia got turn into a filly and her magic from eight and up got transferred into me. So the Council thought of be best if Cadence does Celestia’s Royal duties while I raise and lower night and day as well as watching over Celestia until she’s back to her normal age and her magic’s return to her. That’s who this filly is she’s Princess Celestia and she’ll be joining us for hearts warming this year.”

After Twilight said that her parents gave of shocked look at her, and then looked at Celestia and looked back and forth between the two. Twilight, Spike and Celestia tried to get the two to snap out of it, but it seems like they were trapped in a spell or something. But eventually they broke out of their spell, and looked at Twilight with a deadpan look. Which then Velvet spoke for the two of them. “You’re kidding. You’re kidding, right there is no way that this little filly to be Princess Celestia.”

Nightlight nodded his head in agreement with his wife, but then Celestia stepped up in front of them giving him a look that a mother would normally give to a child. Which is odd seeing a child giving that look before speaking her mind. “Really, now if me having both wings and horn isn't enough. Take a good look at my Cutie Mark I still have it. Which only I have no one else has my Cutie Mark. So if you don’t believe Twilight at least take a look at my Cutie Mark before you continued thinking that I’m not Princess Celestia.”

Soon after she said that Princess Celestia turn to her sides showing her Cutie Mark to the two as soon as the two saw the Cutie Mark they went rigid and looks scared for their lives. They both immediately bowed down to her apologizing to her. And begging for forgiveness, seeing that made Celestia felt a bit uncomfortable, so she decided to speak up. “Am I that scary that even when I’m a defenseless filly ponies are scared me? I’m not a tyrant or something. Sure, I’m upset that you don't trust Twilight or at least check to see if I have my Cutie Mark first before speaking your mind, but still calm down. I’m not mad at you, there is no reason for you to be bowing down to me freaking out over this really.”

After hearing that the two calm down and felt a little embarrassed for what they just did Mr. Nightlight decide the clear his throat and speak on behalf of his wife and him. “Were is so sorry about that Princess. It’s just that this was so sudden and its a lot to take in normally when were around you were just fine, I don’t not know what came over us at that moment I hope you can forgive us.”

Celestia smiled at them relieved hearing that. “That’s okay. I’m just glad were on the same page.”

Velvet nodded her head and decided to speak for herself now. “Well now that that is settled. We’d just need to figure out where will have you sleep during your nights here. We ready have the guest room for Cadence maybe we can have it where Shining or Twilight sleeps on the couch and used to be one of their rooms.”

“Actually, Mrs. Velvet I’m fine sharing a room and bed with Twilight, we did that last night. Anyway, with my own bedroom, so I’m fine with it. If it’s fine with her.”

“It’s fine by me.”

Nightlight and Velvet were shocked at hearing this, but they were starting to think that there could be a side effect of the spell where Celestia could be acting like a filly and then remembered back when they were on family vacations. Twilight liked being in the same bed with either them or Shining so they thought this was probably a side effect of the spell, and besides Twilight's bed was big enough for two ponies anyway so they nodded their heads to this. So they help them bring their stuff to Twilight’s room. And left the three in the room to let them unpack their stuff. Which didn’t take all that long after they were done unpacking Spike decided to go take a nap while both Twilight and Celestia decided to go downstairs to where Nightlight and Velvet where. Which as soon as Velvet saw them. She smiled and started walking up to them. “Your brother is not here yet. Why don’t we need to our family tradition of mother daughter baking cookies you can join us to do you want Celestia?”

At hearing this Celestia froze the last time she was allowed to cook in the kitchen. It did not go all that well. She chuckled nervously before bringing that up. “I’m sorry but I am really a bad cook. I’m not even allowed to do my own cooking in the Castle and I run the place, so it might the bad if I’m anywhere near the kitchen.”

At hearing this Velvet frowned. “Did you ever try cooking with your family when you were growing up?”

“No, I never did my parents were actually the king and queen of Equestria at the time, and so we ready had cooks cooking for us at the time, and even back then they didn’t let me cook. Why do you ask?”

As soon as Twilight and Velvet heard the words King and queen of Equestria are many thoughts came into mind even Nightlight stopped what he was doing and gave Celestia a bewildered look and started thinking like his daughter and wife. For starters if Celestia is still being called Princess that would mean that either. Celestia does not want to take over the tile at all of her mother, even though she’s gone or her parents are out, still but they’re not in Equestria at the moment and probably dealing with something at the moment. But then Velvet thought it would probably be not a good idea at the bring up this topic back during hearts warming it could be a sad story or something that she does not like talking about more than likely, her daughter would ask about this at a later date so she could probably ask her. Sometime after hearts worming, but for now, she thought of the best to focus more on the cookies and Celestia’s personal history, so she cleared her throat and began to speak her thoughts of doubt what Celestia said about her cooking skills.“That is your problem when you’re cooks tried to teach you how to cook. They must have thought that you did cook with your family when you were younger, and let you mess with the stove so I will treat you like I did with Twilight. When she was at the beginning you are currently are at the moment you’re allowed to mix the ingredients and such, but you are not allowed to be anywhere near the stove. You need to first learn how to put the greediest together properly before the stove step by step okay.”

Celestia thought about this for a moment. She did recall that every time she did learn how to cook the instructor would let her use the stove immediately. As if she had some time in the kitchen before they totter, which became more true with every time she tried, but she really didn’t understand a lot of the basics and cooking. So maybe things would be different if she tried it this way instead of what she normally got with her cooking instructors, so she nodded her head with a determined look. “Okay, I’ll give your way a try.”

At hearing this Velvet smiled and started heading to the kitchen. “All right, then you two let’s get cooking come on.”

As soon as she entered the kitchen Twilight and Celestia followed after her to start baking cookies.

Chapter 8

As soon as they got into the kitchen Twilight and Celestia saw that already Velvet had all the ingredients set up. Twilight was used to this because ever since she became Celestia student the moment she got home, her mother would start getting the kitchen get everything set it up when she would unpack her things that she brought home from the Castle. And as soon as she was done unpacking her mother would always insist on start baking right away with her. But it doesn’t mean that this tradition started as soon as Twilight became Celestia student far from it. They used to do it all that around the holidays, but it used to be whenever they felt like it. But now her mother used the tradition as a means of checking up on her and seeing how she was doing. During the middle of mixing more baking or such her mother would start asking her questions about school and stuff such and howls Celestia was treating her during her stay at the Castle. But as time progressed and she reached her teenage years Velvet started asking Twilight about her love life, which every year she would tell her mother that she doesn’t have a boyfriend and wasn't even been looking for one. Which always got her mother in one of her moods of teasing and trying to see if she was hiding the fact that she was dating when she never was, and then eventually her teasing which go into topics of her friend’s son’s which as always, she would say no on the idea of going out with any of them. But this was a first time for Celestia she was wondering if there was a spell that Velvet knew that she didn’t know about that involves getting the right cooking materials and if so if she could maybe learned. Just then Velvet turned around and smiled and levitated a stool that she had in youth. Since Twilight was a filly and placed it by the cooking materials she ready had laid out. “Celestia why don’t you take this stool it will help you out with the whole height problem with the counter. Twilight do you mind getting our the aprons and also the one that you used to use back when you were filly?”

The two nodded their heads and Celestia headed for the stool when Twilight headed over to where the family aprons are normally left and then headed into the kitchen closet where they had decided the place Twilight's old filly apron just in case Shining or Twilight ever got kids of their own or if her parents somehow give her another little sibling and it turns out to be a filly sure there will often was an apron that would work for Celestia on the apron rack. But that was Spike’s, and even though he doesn’t normally help with the mother daughter baking time. He didn’t like it when people use his apron because he likes apron nice and cleaner and ready for him when he feels like baking which oddly enough, he pretty much goes on a cooking spree when Twilight and him comes to visit. She remembered that Celestia gave her three days off around last nightmare night and she decide to come home for that time period and brought Spike with her. Not only was there so much candy in the house from Spike trick-or-treating. But Spike made 25 batches of different type’s cookies, 16 different cakes one of them being a cake that was a 10 layer cake with each layer different flavor, 50 different flavors of pies, 15 batches of brownies and 35 different batches of cupcakes. And Twilight’s parents were so sick of sweet that they made both Shining and her split the leftover desserts and candy and bring it back with them to the Castle. Shining end up doing was do a guard dessert party in the barracks, just to get rid of it HE was sick and tired of all the sweets. While Twilight let Spike keep the candy but secretly sneak all the sweets to Celestia bed room which the guards letter realizing it was the same sweets that were made for the sweets party that Shining w held in the barracks, so when Twilight asked the guards promised to tell Celestia, that the sweet were form the kitchen staff felt like making all of those sweets for her so then Celestia one doesn't bug Spike for more sweet because Twilight knew how much of a sweet tooth Celestia has it was just as bad if not worse than spikes sometimes she wondered if those two when often the kitchen in the middle night at times to speak out for some sweets when she wasn’t looking. But anyways Twilight putting her apron on and then walked over to her mom and Celestia and gave them there’s which they said there, thanks to her as soon as Celestia and Velvet placed on their aprons Velvet cleared her throat to begin that family baking session. “All right, let’s get cooking.”

During the time they were making the sugar cookie dough Velvet gave Celestia instructions and help her out with the cookie dough like she did with Twilight when she was little with Twilight helping out as well, which surprisingly even though Celestia haveing a bad track record with cooking. Celestia was doing quite well normally by now something bad would happen. But instead everything was going smoothly. They were now at the point where they needed a pan out the cookie so than they can use the cookie cutters to cut shapes the cookies. At this point Velvet thought it was a good idea to start asking her daughter how things have been since they last saw each other. “So other than Celestia’s magic going into you and her turning into a filly have you been since I last saw you around nightmare night?”

Twilight knew this was coming, it would of normally happen sooner. But both of them were a little bit busy trying to make sure that Celestia didn’t do anything that would cause a kitchen disaster. So Twilight just shrugged her shoulders as the question. “I’ve been doing just fine. So has Spike. Celestia tough me some very interesting spells I’ve read some interesting theories and spells and incantations that article very interesting nothing all that different than the last time I saw you other than the whole the midterm incident from those two twin brothers.”

Velvet nodded her head while adding more of the ready cut cookies of hearts warming tree, hearts worming heart, reindeer, earth pony, Pegasus, unicorn, and Alicorn cut cookies on the cookie sheet and put them in the oven. “I see so have you found yours special some pony yet?”

At hearing this, Celestia perked up and look towards her student curious to see what she would say. Because Celestia hasn’t ever met any friends of Twilight's and she was curious about her most faithful student social life. At the same time Twilight groaned knowing this was coming but was kind of hoping that her mother wouldn't bring this up when Celestia with them. She looked at her mom with a deadpan look getting ready for the same embarrassing conversation, she always has was her mother when she brings up. “No mother. I do not have a very special some pony. I don’t really even have any friends except for Shining, Cadance, Spike, and Celestia, so why would I even have a special some pony if I don’t feel comfortable making any more friends to begin with.”

At hearing this Celestia was shocked and a bit of worried she felt like it was a sense of déjà vu with Sunset shimmer and she didn’t want that to happen with Twilight, but felt of little bit of joy with the fact that her student considered her a dear friend. “Twilight why don’t you have any friends. Besides the four of us don’t you want to make friends of your own?”

“I just don’t have time for it with all my studies and such. And when I do get open time. I like to spend time with my family.”

“Oh come on Twilight you should make some time to make some friends just because they are not as good as magic as you are doesn’t mean. You’re better than them or anything.”

At hearing this. This made Twilight angry and for once in her life she yelled at Celestia. “I DON’T THINK I’M SUPERIOR THEN ANY PONY. I JUST DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THEM IS ALL.”

Once Twilight realized what she just did she excused herself of to go to the bathroom quick and left. While Celestia was still in shock after what just occurred. She turned to Velvet looking at her with confusion and bewilderment of what was going on. Which Velvet just shook her head. “It’s a touchy subject let me start with a question for you. Did you know your nephew Prince Blueblood was it in the same magic kindergarten class as Twilight before she took that enters exam to become your student?”

Celestia was shocked at hearing this. She never knew this about the two of them ever knowing each other she thought they never had met before. So she shook her head no. Which caused Velvet to let out breath. “Well, they were and Twilight was the top of her class. Got perfect scores and everything but your nephew was not all that happy about minor nobility getting higher grades then him, especially since his father found out about it by the teacher. Which made his father very upset with him, and pretty much got ground a lot of times because he didn’t have better grades than Twilight. In fact, all of Twilight's classmates were all high nobility while she was the only minor nobility still do not know how that happened. There was another class which was filled with minor nobility’s I don’t get but anyways Blueblood started leading all of there classmates to gang up on her and bully her. And the teacher would not do anything about it since the teacher thought that the majority of the class outranked Twilight because she was a minor instead of a high nobility. They would do everything to her from stealing her lunch, knocking away her books taking her personal collection of advance magic’s books, stealing her toys and never giving them back. Thank goodness Twilight never brought her smarty-pants doll to school she would have been just devastated if that was ever taken at the time. And any time they invited her to any functions. It was a trap to humiliate her in front of others they even made her do something called the diaper dance. Every so often Blueblood would’ve invite her over to his place and tell her to stop being Mr. know it all and purposely fail on homework and tests and such, but she would refuse to do so because the summer before she started magic kindergarten she saw you raising the sun. And she wanted to do magic. As well as wanted to have the best way she could get a very good chance at getting into your school. It got so bad that Shining asked his teachers if it was all right for him to be a little late to class in the morning just to make certain that his sister was the alright before class started, and was allowed to leave early, from school to directly take her home. So then she would have a least a little bit less bullying going on around her. We also asked the teacher to when passing out grades to put all the grades in envelopes and make sure that there was no breaking up who had highest score not in the envelope so than the other ponies wouldn't know whether or not she did well or not. Which help lower down the point to some extent. Since they did not know if she finally broke and stop working so hard in her academics or kept going. At least not until the end of the school year when they announce in front of the whole classroom with the parents with them on the ranking of students in the classroom for the year. Let’s just say we had a whole lot of angry looks toward us for the whole time. Once that was announced thank goodness. None those student’s parents were mine or my husband’s bosses they would probably maybe fire us as well if any of them were. So we applied for your school. Since Twilight was at the youngest age you can apply for it, and with her how great her written exam was, she was allowed to take that entrance exam that caused her to get Spike and becoming your student. It isn’t that she doesn't want to make friends. It’s just she’s scared of going through what she went through in magic kindergarten is all. Have you ever wondered why Twilight always freaks out thinking saying that you might get so mad at her that deal of you sending her back to magic kindergarten?”

Celestia was frozen solid mouth agape and showed an expression she had not shown at all since her sister was banished to the moon. Velvet was about to ask if she was okay, but then heard the timer dings and went to switch the freshly baked cookies with another batch of cookies that needed to go in next. As Velvet was doing this Celestia was thinking of about Twilight making up a mental list of Twilight’s bad treats that she knew of her students overthinking, her wariness, any time her student thought she did a really bad mistake she would start jumping to random conclusions that the worst-case scenario, anything of all being her paranoia side and her isolating ourselves so much. It all started making sense now, and this both upset and made Celestia fierce. (How dear my nephew and his fellow magic kindergarten class mates do that to sweet innocent Twilight. All because she was doing better than them, and that she was a minor nobility. The noble didn't care whether or not you were a high or minor noble when it came to marriage as long as they are nobles. So, why in the why, wide world of Equestria would it matter if Twilight was a minor nobility or high nobility with her grades. As soon as I am back to normal. I am going to demand all of Twilight’s and Blueblood’s magic kindergarten classmate list to do everything in my power to make those ponies regret it. Twilight is like a daughter to me that I never had and I am protective of her and to find out she had a trauma experience in magic kindergarten is not a good thing for those bullies. I don’t even care of one of them is my nephew. But I can already start away with Blueblood. As soon as we get back to the Castle after hearts warming I'll start throwing pranks on him like no tomorrow and as soon as I’m back to normal. I’ll let the guards in on it as well and cover for them. Starting with Shining armor recruiting him for it. I’d bet he would love to get back at Blueblood for what he did?) Celestia nodded her head at her decision proud of her plan and began continuing her cutting up the cookie dough as well as promising Velvet not to let Twilight know that she was told about this and hoping Twilight would come down soon as well as hope being she was also okay.

Twilight just got done splashing her face with cold water and is now getting the water off her face. She knew that she shouldn’t have acted like that around Celestia, but when her mentor asked her if she thought she was superior than others. It struck a nerve with her. Not because Celestia hit the market or anything like that far from it. It was the fact she felt like she wasn’t really all that special, and she had to work twice as hard just to make others proud of her. Everyone in her magic kindergarten class pretty much made it clear that they were the superior once and that they believe that she will never amount to anything. So she worked harder than anyone else when it comes to her magic studies with her special talent and she was going do with it. The best she can no matter how much research she would have to do for it, and how little time. She’ll have for social life. It didn’t matter to her that she didn’t have any friends except for the four she has now she’s not even special enough for anyone else. Everyone else is probably way better than her. At least that’s what she sought ever since magic kindergarten she shuddered at the thought of magic kindergarten. Luckily she never saw Blueblood at the Castle he mostly spent his time near more the areas where the rest of the nobles, hang out and such. While she normally spend her time either in the library the dining room and sometimes Celestia’s chambers and parts of the Royal Gardens rooms that most of the nobles don’t normally spend their time in. And because it’s too deep within the garden. Twilight knew that her mom most likely was telling Celestia the background story of why she reacted like that and more than likely of asking Celestia not to let her know that her mother told her mentor. But anytime some buddy got Shining or her really mad where they leave the room. She would always explain why they were doing it she didn’t even know and knowing Celestia not talking about it with her. It’s going the eat Celestia up the to because of them having a mother daughter relationship. In fact that Twilight does the see Celestia like a second mom or a big sister like she felt with Cadence, but mostly the second mom feeling was Celestia. So more than likely she’s going to have to let Celestia know that she knows that she knows about the whole magic kindergarten ordeal at some point when nobody is around because if her mother found out that she knew it would probably get her upset once again and she didn’t want that. Once everything was clear and she didn’t look like she was crying anymore, she started her way back to the kitchen where she saw her mother just getting out the greeting for the chocolate chip cookie batch. Which Celestia was giving an odd look about the fact that there making chocolate chip cookies, even though around hearts warming sugar cookies were the main cookie dessert for this time of year. So Twilight and started heading to her mother and Celestia. “Shining doesn’t like sugar cookies.”

As soon as Celestia herd Twilight’s voice she jumped letting out a squeak and then turned around towards her student but as soon as she registered the words that Twilight said the only thing came to her mind was going to bring it up. “What?”

Twilight let out a chuckle and began explaining what she meant when she said her brother didn’t like sugar cookies. “Apparently sugar cookies have too much icing on them. And if you say what about cake having too much icing. He’ll always say there is more cake then icing when it comes to that, but a cookie is a thin, flat thing, and you’re smothering it with layers and layers of icing at least with Kate when you’re layering it with icing. There’s still more cake then icing was if you don’t want to eat all that icing you could just focus more around the cake then then icing with your fork when a cookie you can’t. So we always make him the chocolate chip cookies as a substitute for the sugar cookies and every year since, Cadence joined us for hearts warming, she always makes it her job to tease him about it.”

After, Celestia heard the explanation behind the chocolate chip cookies she begins the chuckle. Which soon turned into fallout laughter and she then fell off the stool. She was standing on which then Twilight rushed over to Celestia to make certain that she was all right while so Celestia was still laughing like there was no tomorrow. With her mentor laughing as much as she was she just assume that Celestia was fine and was just letting up and giggle out and again really need to not worry as much finally Celestia started speaking while still laughing. “You got a be joking right they don’t care how big the desserts are icing is still icing no matter what its going to be a lot of sugar and as if the icing them. The problem you could just have some sugar cookies without the icing on them.”

“We tried that once he said the cookies were too blind and then taste as good without the icing on it.”

That caused Celestia to let out even more laughter. “Okay then next to Cadence think that’s a good idea for me to have tea with her and Shining. I am so going to order a big batch of sugar cookie to see how he retracts to all the sugar cookies on the table. Oh that is just too rich.”

Just then Velvet cleared her throat and the two looked at her and both giving out a sheepish smile that her. “As funny, as that is. And as much as I talked up about his sugar cookie problems with my friends which we all burst out laughter as well. We got the more cookies to make.”

Celestia and Twilight nodded their heads and got ready to make some more cookies as they were making the chocolate chip cookie dough more and more the sugar cookies were being done being cooked and being placed a call down by the time they were able to put the first batch of the chocolate chip cookies in the oven Velvet started taking out the ingredients for the homemade icing that they were going to make. Once the ice things was made, and divided up and given different colors. The three of them began to ice the sugar cookies and started talking about old others things and about life and other matters as well, along with small jokes and such that caused all three of them to laugh. The three of them were having so much fun specially Celestia hadn't had this much fun since the last time she spent time with her younger sister before she was sent to the moon. By the time they got down icing all the sugar cookies all the chocolate chip cookies, word finally out of the oven, but they had left over icing so in Mrs. Velvet took out a box a graham crackers way which caused Celestia to be confused at that moment until Twilight explained what was going on. “We don’t like using old icing if we end up the same making more cookies. We always like keeping it fresh. So if there is any left overs we take some graham crackers and make icing s'mores. But instead of having marshmallow think chocolate in between. We use icing instead Shining, especially Stays away from these cause he says these are worse than sugar cookies.”

Celestia nodded her head and the three of them started pleasing icing in the graham crackers. Halfway through it Celestia accidentally knocked over. The blue icing, which was the second most amount of icing besides the white and it landed on top of her head. As soon as that happened Celestia let out a huge yell and Velvet and Twilight looked at her before her laughing. During the there laughter Twilight started levitating the boll off the Celestia while Velvet took the camera that she brought in with her just in case something eventful happened where she decided to take pictures and started doing so by taking pitchers of Celestia. During this whole time. Once the boll was finally off of her. Celestia noticed what Velvet was doing and gave off a scared look. “Oh please do not show that to anyone, especially the nobles or the news media.”

Velvet just chuckled and gave doubt a reassuring smile. “Relax, this is Twilight’s digital camera that she left behind the last time she visited so if anything these pictures are hers to decide what to do with them, and I highly doubt show shown to anyone except mybe Spike, Cadence, Shining, and her father. Now lets say you had siblings of your own. Then she would show it to your siblings. But anyone like Blueblood not gonna happen.”

Celestia wanted to freak out at the thought that Luna might see them someday. But if she did, then Twilight would find out about Nightmare moon and she Didn't want Twilight knowing about that fact. At least not for now though she just nodded her head in acceptance. Just then Twilight levitated Celestia and started heading out of the kitchen. “Mom can get the rest of the icing the graham crackers done and cleaning up the mess right now we need to get you all cleaned up. We don’t want Shining and Cadence see you like this right now do we?”

At hearing the fact that Cadence and Shining might see her like this. Besides the pictures and maybe we’ll end up taking pictures of their own if they had any cameras with them made her very scared. She knew that she could get Shining not to show any pictures, but Cadence she might think you be too cute and show it to the whole kingdom, and she did not want that so Celestia just let Twilight take her to the bathroom to get her cleaned up.

Soon after the two got into the back room Twilight first started up the shower to get at the right temperature. Once it was the right temperature she levitated Celestia inside the tub. “I know you prefer a bath, but if we did that the water become very sticky with all the sugar from the icing also most of its on in your hair, so it would probably be easier just to use the shower.”

Celestia just nodded her head, and let Twilight wash off the icing off Celestia’s head first trying to rents out as much of the icing as she can then adding, shampoo, then rinsing out the shampoo been doing the same thing with the conditioner and then doing one more batch of a shampoo just played safe. Once that was done Twilight levitated Celestia for bed and turned off the shower and placed the bath plug in the tub and started the water up again and added some soap. Once it left the right amount of hype for Celestia to take a bath and she turned it off and plea Celestia back in the tub. “I’ll let you wash yourself up a bit in the tub just in case I’d missed him without knowing besides, I was focusing more in your main then your coat so I maybe messed some so I’ll let you have a little bit bathtime quick.”

Celestia smiled and nodded her head and started scrubbing herself as she was doing that Twilight walked up to the cupboard where normally the towels are kept to find that they’re all gone. “Oh, looks like all the towels are in the laundry room I’ll be right back Celestia.”

Celestia nodded her head and with that Twilight went out of the bathroom to go get some towels soon Celestia got done scrubbing herself down and began to get a little bored waiting for Twilight to return. At some point, she started moving the water around with her telekinesis along with some of the soap bubbles at first just levitating him around, but then she started doing more a levirate tricks and stunts with some that soon they were floating all over the bathroom. Just then Twilight opened the bathroom door and entered into with the towels and was met with a ball of soapy water hitting her face which surprised so much that she dropped the towels in the hallway, which cost Celestia’s attention, and she turned to Twilight to see a soggy Twilight. Which caused her to burst out laughing Twilight looked at Celestia and then gave Celestia a mischievous look and started levitating some of the water. “Oh, it is on.”

As soon as Twilight said that Celestia got hit by some water that Twilight was levitating which surprised Celestia because twilight hadn’t done anything like that to her since she first became her student, but then Celestia gave her own mischievous look and soon after the two were in awe all reading water war. This kept up until Nightlight came in into the bathroom. After seeing up I’ll of clean towels right by the bathroom door and also hearing water splashing and laughter. But what he saw shocked them. Not only was his daughter splashing around water in the bathroom, which she hadn’t done since she was 10 years old but Princess Celestia doing as well, the Princess. The very Princess, who is known as the calm demeanor Princess who women do something as ridiculous as a water war. It was just too shocking for him. It took him a while to regain his composure and even longer to speak out. “What are you two doing?”

As soon as the two heard his voice. They froze and all the water that was still floating in the air somehow all landed back inside the tub and the two looked at him and they both gave guilty smiles and began levitating any water her on the floor back into the tub looked at him again and said at the same time. “Sorry”

As soon as they said that Twilight levitated Celestia out of the tub with some of the towels that she renumbered two left in the hallway and started drying her off. All the while Nightlight kept his eyes on the two of them making certain that they were going to start another water war. Once Celestia was dried Twilight took a hair brushed and brushed Celeste main for a little bit. Once that was done the three walked downstairs to see not only Velvet in the living room, but also Shining and Cadance in there as well. Which all 3D a wondering look at them be for Velvet decided to ask what everyone was wondering. “What happened upstairs? I haven’t heard that much of laughing coming out of the bathroom, since the time Shining declared are all. I’ll water war against Twilight back when she was 10 years old.”

Twilight and Celestia blushed with embarrassment while Nightlight chuckled at that statement. “Oh, that’s exactly what happened dear. But instead of Shining being in it Celestia filled in his place. It was kind very interesting seeing that I never would’ve thought Celestia had it in her to do water war that alone in a bathroom maybe if there was up be or if there was a water party or something. Maybe, but the bathroom. I do not see that coming.”

At hearing this Shining, Cadance and Velvet started bursting out laughing. Which soon need Nightlight joined in and not long after him Spike joined and because he just walked up right behind them because he just looked up from his nap and hearing what Nightlight just told the others was just funny for him as well. At the laughter both Twilight and Celestia began to blush even more be for looking at each other and started chuckling themselves be for bursting out in a full out laughter. As soon as the seven, finally calm down and stop laughing Velvet cleared her voice. “Well I just started making lunch not too long of go and the soup should be done by now, so why don’t we had to the kitchen and have some lunch, shall we.”

Everyone in the room were all hungry and thought it was a good idea to eat though they all nodded their heads and started heading to the kitchen while still having smiles on their faces.

The seven of the finished eating their lunch, and Shining thought it would be a good idea to have a snowball fight. Everyone but Velvet were the fine with doing it because Velvet wanted to take a nap that she was tired from getting everything prepared for everyone coming over and speaking of making lunch wore her out as well. So she went upstairs to take a nap while the others all got their winter wear and start putting it on. That’s when Cadance noticed Celestia’s new winter outfit. “Oh, auntie Celestia you look so cute in that outfit.”

At hearing this Celestia blushed a little embarrassed that she was being called cute because she had heard that since she was really little beautiful yet cute. Not so much at hearing this Twilight just chuckled and soon everybody was dressed and out in the backyard the first two that were out where Shining and Twilight and the two were channeling their magic to make their teams, snow forts which as soon as Nightlight, and Spike got out they started heading towards Shining and start helping him make the snow forts. Which so he was somewhat confused until Cadance came out and explained what was going on. “This family always doesn’t boy versus girls ever since Twilight was old enough to partake in snowball fights. Since they are wasn’t even a number of males and females. It was fine and a lot of times after I started babysitting Twilight I would substitute for Velvet when she didn’t feel like it. But then when Spike got into the picture at Bennett with teams of three. So Velvet was in the games again. Which I don’t think she doesn’t mind, but it’s not really her forte. And since you’re here this time around. She’d probably going to take advantage of it, so you’re with Twilight and my team.”

Given the explanation Celestia nodded her head and started heading over to Twilight with Cadance by her side and began to help out making the snow fort. Once both sides were done making their snow forts. Twilight levitated a stick right in the middle and Shining started be getting a countdown once the countdown reaches zero Twilight dropped the stick. Which confused Celestia until Cadance whispered in her ear. “Once the stick touch if the ground. The game will begin. So get ready to throw some snow on Celestia.”

Celestia nodded her head in confirmation of this information and grab some snowballs notice things that she couldn’t levitate as much as she would normally do with a probe grown mare and look towards Twilight, who levitating all water snowballs, but by the looks of it, it looked like her student wasn’t using all of her magic. Which means she wasn’t really using her magic that she got from the accident at the midterms and then look towards the boys is team to see that only Shining having the second-most amount of snowballed with them. She started to wonder that if Shining didn’t become a member of the Royal guards, would he have been one of the students at her school, if he did would he have been one of her personal student like Twilight? And if so what would have that meant so many questions were swimming in her head at this time. Like, what if there are special talents word switched what that have meant that Twilight would have been one of for Royal guards and Saying that her student all this was giving her a headache. Just then the stick land on the ground and snow began flying as soon as Celestia saw the first snowball she thrilled by that the game was beginning and she started throwing snow like no tomorrow. At some point her battling instincts kicked in from all those war she partook in hand are many lives and the snow is becoming more precise on her targets. At some point Shining had to put up his shield to stop the snow from hitting his teammates because both Spike and Nightlight was so covered in snow that if that only their heads were sticking out. Which why the rules was if a shield was brought up. It was a sign of surrender since Celestia at one point taught Twilight how to do some basic shields for self-defense, so she would represent her team, for surrender and he would represent their and with his shield up they get the boys just lost. But Celestia Going and going until Twilight taped on the shoulder, wondering why somebody would interfere with her during a heat of the battle for getting this was all a silly little game. Twilight gave her a reassuring smile be for speaking to her. “As much as I would love seeing my brother, dad and Spike buried in snow, but if Shining are I put up a shield that is a sign of surrender and they games over meaning our team one you can stop now.”

As soon as she heard this Celestia’s looked back at the boys then back to Twilight and Cadance she did this for a while. And as she was doing so she started calming down and slowly started realizing she was not no real war, but in a game. Which caused Celestia to blush and she just left the snow pool up to the ground, which most of the snowballs were right above the boys and shining just turned off the shield so they got hit with the more snowballs by accident. “Whoops, sorry about that. I can’t got caught up in the heat of the moment and I think I started seeing the 70 real war is to have a little game and started taking the schema little too seriously my bad.”

At hearing this Shining miles went agape shocked at hearing this, but what just happened was just a small taste of how Celestia would treat a real war and also Celestia’s power was cut down significantly if that was only a small taste of what she could do as a filly in the heat of the battle. He didn’t want to see what she was like one she was back to her normal full grown self in a heat of the battle. “Okay here is not good in battling why so many Royal guards, order to protect you when you could just protect yourself easily?”

At hearing this Celestia chuckled before answering Shining’s question. “Oh kilo the last time Equestria was in a war. It’s been so long that every pony forgets how much war I had a partake in and how good I am I fighting so they start getting a bit overprotective on me and start saying all need to be protected. So we need this bill will guards as we can protecting our fair Princess. It gets them knowing trying to argue with them about me able to take care of myself so I just let it be.”

At hearing this Shining was shocked. He did not expect that for an answer, he made a mental note to relocate some of the Royal guards to different locations then hovering around Celestia once he was back to normal not all that quickly at once, mind you. Just little bits at a time. To know what it gets to the point where it’s not too many and not too little all compared to how much Celestia can really take care of herself. He nodded his head in confirmation to what Celestia said, and confirming that he liked the idea that he had placed in his head be for speaking very. “Why don’t we all go in and warm up. I do not know about you guys but I am freezing.”

Everyone nodded at the idea and started heading in to get warmed up Spike decided to make some hot chocolate. When Twilight started pleasing some of the baked cookies on a plate for everyone to eat in the living room. Once the half chocolate was made and there was enough cookies on the plate. The two went into the living room and passed out. The hot chocolate and everyone began helping themselves to the cookies and drinking their hot chocolate by the fire.

As time pasted at some point Twilight began to feel this tingling sensation on her horn. Which was very odd for her since something like this has never happened before and it made her wonder what was going on and why was this happening to her. Now of all times though only thing she could think of was either this is something normal, or it’s just her very first time or this was a side effect from the magic transplant, which she hope that it was the former and not the latter because she did not want any weird negative side effects on her because if she’s getting some negative side effects. What are the chances of Celestia getting negative side effects as well. There was only one thing left to do since she didn’t know and there was no way she could go and look it up in any books with how her family asking questions and trying to make her stop breeding it was best just to just ask and get it over with. “Hey dad was a tingling feeling in from your horn means?”

Both Shining and Nightlight gave her our love if they never heard back before Spike was getting a look of worried for Twilight well-being when Celestia gave a shock look and started looking at the clock in the living room while Cadance was giving an all knowing look to Celestia. “Sorry, hon. I heard when one starts glowing and drag the pony to where they are meant to go and magic flares, but that’s it never heard of a tingling sensation.”

“Yeah, sis never heard of it before.”

Spike started chewing on his claws with worry. Which Twilight could see clearly, which made her worry a bit and made her wonder if she needed to go see a doctor or something until she’s thought Cadance nudging Celestia as if the two new a secret or something. So she focused a bit more on Celestia no. Which she gave sheepish look to her be for bringing up what she knew of the matter. “Well Twilight you maybe then noticed that be for because you were freaking out before around the time when you brought forth the night and Spike accidentally woke this up before it was time to raise the sun. And I had you bring it up a bit early today. Just make certain you understood have to raise the sun because it a little bit harder than the moon at times because of the size difference. But that tingling feeling is pretty much your alarm clock of for when you need to raise and lower the sun and moon. Which at times can be very annoying when you want to sleep in at times because the longer you wait, the stronger the that feeling get interviewed nor too long, your whole body gets that tingling feeling and trust me you do not ever want to go through that it is not fun.”

As soon as Twilight heard this she looked at the living room clock finally realizing it was around the time when the sun starts to lower and the moon starts to race during winter. Which made her realize that it was both natural and get side effect from the spell because it was only natural for Celestia and now she was getting it from because of the magic incident, so she nodded her head to this. “Oh, that’s good to know I’ll get on that right away.”

Twilight began to channel her magic to lower the sun and read the moon and bring forth the stars as she did as the day before. As she was doing this for father was watching this in on and soon her mother was coming down from hers and her husband’s bedroom and seeing this as well. By the time Twilight stopped both of her parents were having their mouth agape why I am baffled of what they just saw their daughter do her mother with the first one to snap out of it. “Am I better start making supper Spike would you like to help me?”

Spike not knowing that she felt awkward of what happened just went on nodded his head in agreement and went up into the kitchen. Shining seeing how his dad was still in shock levitated the newspapers that his father only half read tape with it. Which got Nightlight, out of shock and convinced them to continue reading his paper, which then Cadance thought it would be best if Twilight and Celestia was out of Velvet and Nightlight site for a bit. “Hey Twilight why don’t you make sure that all of your things are really unpacked and that you didn’t miss anything with Celestia?”

Twilight nodded her head and both she and Celestia out went up to her bedroom, and looked around to see everything was packed and they didn’t miss anything. Then the two thought of be a good idea just how reading a book in the room so the two both levitated their own books laid down on Twilight’s bed and began reading. The two kept at this until Velvet called them down for supper. Which then the two place bookmarks into their books and headed down once the seven were all at the table they all began to eat their supper. There was no real talking going on and as soon as everyone was done eating their supper the went their own separate Spike decided to go to bed early, Cadance and Shining decide to go out for a late night walk, Velvet and Nightlight were washing the dishes, and Twilight and Celestia decided to go back up into the room and continue reading the stories that they were reading be for supper. About an hour into later Celestia started showing signs of getting tired so Twilight placed bookmarks in both books took the lift get into the bathroom. So the two could brush their teeth. Once done they went back into her bedroom went on to the bed went over to the covers and went to sleep.

A few days went by and I was finally hearts warming Twilight was just starting to wake up to raise the sun when Spike started jumping on the bed that she and Celestia were sharing waking them both up. “IT’S HEARTS WARMING, ITS HEARTS WARMING COME ON YOU 2 LET’S GO OPEN THE PRESENTS!”

The two began to groan, but for different reasons for Twilight she was already getting up herself and then need Spike jumping on her head. Which is in away prolonging her from doing heard temporary duty of bringing forth the day and night. Which in turn was causing that tingling feeling in her horn to get worse. By the second and she just wanted that tingling feeling to stop. As for Celestia she hadn’t been able to sleep in ever since her sister was banished to the moon. Little secret that no one knew the two sisters would once in a while do each other’s duties if they knew that the other had a long tiring night or day which ever sibling it was, and let them sleep in for a little bit by breathing forth their other siblings charge that’s howls Celestia knew how to bring forth the night sky right away after she vanished her sister to the moon. Instead of struggling with it in the beginning because she had some practice with it. Sure cheaper got some of the constellations and where some of the stars go, but she did her best to keep the more useful constellations in the skies and to let the other stars be. Yet she knew that her sister will probably give her an earful once she read turned and went back to her old self. But with everything that been going on in her life since then, she really did not care at the moment. Finally Twilight gate bike a deadpan look. “We are up Spike, why don’t you go wake up Shining, Cadance, and our parents up at will be down as soon as we can okay.”

Spike nodded his head. Before he for jumping off the bed and running out of the room. As soon as Twilight knew that Spike was gone she sighed with relief and began lowering the moon and raising the sun while Celestia gave Twilight a deadpan look. “Two things Twilight one how in the wide world of Equestria is Spike up so early last time I checked you have the force him up. Otherwise he wakes up sometime after our lunch time. And if that happens, the super hungry and eats more than he should. The other thing is why did you send him to go bug your parents, brother and Cadance when you have any memory the sun yet?”

At hearing this Twilight chuckled and began explaining. “Well first off there are two times a year when Spike will all wake up her early one being his birthday and today which is hearts warming. I don’t really know why. My only guess is it’s the only time of the year. Besides nightmare night will where he can try to let his Dragon Harding side out a bit. That’s my best guess on that part.”

Just then Twilight gave mischievous smirk. “And the reason why I let Spike, all but the others is because if I didn’t. He went to Bouncing on the bed and we would never be able to get off the bed because every so often he would hop on top of us. As well, as there are times when they do secret pranks on the art to the manga gets on my nerves as well. So I use it as a way of a little payback on them as well so it’s really just safer we just send them off to the others.”

After hearing her student grievance for doing it. She made a mental note to always have Spike always, always from the Castle around his birthday and hearts warming in the future when Twilight is dead and more than likely stay with her sense, he the kind of the Dragon back can choose his size. Once he gets to a certain age, so it wouldn’t be impossible for him staying with her, and more likely he would prefer is that when it and that time does happen because she more likely the only pony he’ll know when that time comes, unless he decides to integrate with other dragons. Just then of pang of sorrow at her heart. Twilight was like a daughter to her and the fact that at some point she would die made her feel uncomfortable and she did not look forward for it when that day came. Sure she has Cadance now and at some point you’ll get Luna back but Cadance was her adopted niece and the two were close but not fact close and lunar was her sister and the bond is very strong, with those two, but it also a bit messed up since she became nightmare moon be sides. The two of them. Twilight was the closest thing to family she had sure she gets third or heard all of her subjects hurt children. But Twilight was more so than any other though only other pony that she felt the same way towards was Sunset Shimmer, but those two did not really see eye to high a lot of times and fighting with each other near the end of their time together. Sure she still cared about heard former student and wished that she was back but there was nothing she could do up about it at the moment. But she might be able to do something about Twilight and maybe do something that can allow her take keep twilight alive much longer. (Maybe I should try and see if I can get her to become an Alcorn like me that way I won’t lose her. Both Spike and Cadance would be happy about it as well. I would just need to get Luna is okay when that time comes. But first I need to get back to my normal age and get my magic back before I can do anything else)

Celestia nodded her head and approval with her plan. When Twilight saw Celestia, nodding her head. She thought that so the accepted her reasoning for why she sent Spike to wake up the others. So the two started heading down stairs where the two of them saw everyone else by the tree waiting for them to join them so they can open up presents which the two went up to the him all sat down and got prepared to open hearts warming presents.

After opening up their hearts warming presents. Which goal in this list of order Velvet got a new necklace from her husband, up box of holiday chocolates from both Shining and Cadance, a bag full of Spike’s famous cookies, a new cook book from Twilight, she even got up brand-new scarf from Princess Celestia. Which she didn’t expect the Princess getting her anything for hearts warming when she as what I Celestia got her and the others present she said. “It least she could do for them. Letting her stay with them during hearts worming.”
They all nodded at that for acceptance Nightlight got a new telescope from his wife, Got holiday chocolates as well from Shining and Cadance, got a book as well from Twilight. Which was up about the phases of the moon which he loved it a lot, got the same type of cookies from Spike, and from Celestia knew watch. Shining armor got a cuckoo clock from his parents, a scarf from Cadance, a baker cookies from Spike, of book on the history of the Royal guards from Twilight, and from Celestia kind of surprised everyone. “Princess Celestia did you get me up brand-new sword?”

“Well, you are my Captain of the Royal guard, and with me being a filly and Cadance running Equestria for now, things might get a little wild now and then until things get back to normal, or until ponies get used to the way things are at the moment so it might be a good idea up for you getting a new sword.” Celestia was smiling all the while when she said this.

Shining armor nod his head in recognition, realizing what Celestia was saying was true. News about what happened to Celestia had been spreading not all that fast, but still it was still leaking out even though everybody was trying their best to hide it. But the fact that Cadance was running Royal Court was not helping and the fact that when people start asking questions and people talk about what they heard. It started spreading it wouldn’t be long before the news media gets word of this and all the Equestria hears about it and then soon after other kingdoms will get word of this if not already and his old sword was getting a little bit worn out beyond repair. “Thank you, Princess Celestia all put good used to this when necessary.”

She smiled back at him. “You’re welcome Shining and I know you will put good used to it.”

For by heat God mostly gems from everybody except from Twilight, who gave them a book about gems. For Cadance she got home a cookies from Spike, romance novels from Nightlight and Velvet, a new diary from Twilight, a new necklace from Signing, and a new hair brooch from Princess Celestia. While Twilight got many different types of books. Princess Celestia got a book from Twilight, new hair clip from Cadance and Signing, up big batch of homemade cupcakes from Spike, which she wanted to try one right away. But Twilight told her to wait until at least after lunch time for Howard the duck. On one of the cupcakes. Which Celestia was a bit upset about hearing that, but then she remembered that at the moment. Twilight was in charge of her and that she had a respect that. So she nodded her head agreeing with Twilight. The only odd thing that she got was two new dolls from Nightlight and Velvet which caused Spike, Cadance and Signing to laugh, while Nightlight and Velvet were beaming with a proud smile at what they thought was a great gift but made both Celestia and Twilight puzzled. “Mom, dad, why did you give Celestia dolls?”

Velvet just chuckled at her daughter’s question. “Oh Twilight even though Princess Celestia is mentally of full grown adult at the moment. She is physically a little filly and the fact that she can’t do any of her Royal duties. Meaning she has a lot more free time. And I know for a fact that there is going to be times when you’re going to be so focused a reading some sort of book that Celestia is going to get bored. So your father and I thought since no one know how long Princess Celestia’s going to be stuck a filly might as well give her something to do when you’re too busy to entertain her.”

At hearing this. Everybody except Nightlight and Velvet froze. No one have other than those two even thought about that fact. Although everybody was thinking about this known was thinking about this the most other than Twilight. (I can’t believe that I didn’t think about this. Oh what mom and dad are right she liked Guerra some other type of toys play with like a ball, a kite, more dolls other toys and such. The kids like playing with. But wait it Celestia okay with being treated like a cat by having all these toys what happens if she doesn’t like the fact that she’s being treated like a cat by being given some toys all need to ask her about that later.)

Even though Twilight was thinking about this the most Celestia was not that far behind on her thoughts on this. (Okay, I understand where those two are coming from, but really I haven’t played with dolls. In how many millenniums all though the two dolls to look a lot of fun to play with. And they do have a point there might come times when I’ll get bored and who knows how long I’ll be stuck as a little filly I guess that’s okay as long as no one goes overboard in piles up toys for me like I’m some spoiled child.)

Celestia nodded at her thoughts on this then looked back at Velvet and Nightlight and smiled that the two. “Thank you to so much for the generous, thoughtful gift.”

The two beaming smiles even got brighter at hearing this and in unison. “You are welcome Celestia.”

Once they gathered up all the wrapping paper from the presidents and put them in a bags to be thrown away later they all went into the kitchen to have breakfast which consists of scrambled eggs, hay bacon, hash browns, mix fruits, cinnamon rolls, caramel rolls, monkey bread, milk, apple juice, and orange juice. They ate their meals happily. After breakfast. Everyone went out and played in the snow. Eventually everybody got called to they went back in the house to have some hot chocolate. Eventually it was lunchtime and they ate lunch after they ate lunch they went to the noon performance of the hearts warming pageant once the pageant was over it was near suppertime so they went home and prepared hearts warming dinner. As soon as it was done the eat the food and as soon as they were done they made some more hot chocolate grabbed up batch of hearts warming cookies went into the living room and told hearts warming stories. Once they began to be late. Everyone said that the Knights and went to bed with all smiles on their faces from their enjoyment of their time together on this year’s hearts warming.

Soon enough hearts warming break was over and Spike, Cadance, Shining, Twilight and Celestia all went back to the Castle where they bumped into Blueblood, which nobody in the group was all that thrilled of seeing. “The Celestia. I heard what happened to you and I do not get why the council would have. Your student to watch over you in your time and need and not it family numbers like myself, but smart”

At that moment Shining armor started to lean over to Cadance whilst Spike leaned over to Celestia. While Twilight was staring at Blueblood while trying to do her best of not thinking of multiples spells that could make his life a living nightmare. Shining armor was the first one to make it close enough to his target’s ear and began to whisper. “Probably because they knew that if they left Celestia with Blueblood that he would forget about her soon enough and she would starve to death or something along those lines, and even if that wasn’t the case more than likely he would try to use Celestia. The game more power in her time of weakness.”

At hearing this Cadance started chuckling at shining armor’s comment on her cousin and at that moment Spike finally reached Celestia’s fears and began whispering his thoughts. “Probably because they knew for a fact that if he had custody over you at this time. He would force you to go to all those noble parties and use you to make himself even more popular and respected.”

After Spike said that unlike Cadance Celestia did not giggle. She instead gave out a skull and began adding more ideas to her plans on revenge on her nephew for what he did two Twilight back in magic kindergarten and now adding more to her fuel his little greediness. At that point, Twilight, finally thought of up the best way to get Blueblood off her back as well of the others. “Oh Prince Blueblood anything they were doing you a favor. You see we do not know whether or not Princess Celestia is going to have some side effects.”

At hearing this Blueblood gave a puzzled look. “Side effects. What kind of side effects?”

At this Twilight began to chuckle. “All just stuff that since part of what happened was an age regretted spell mix with some other things that there could be a strong possibility that Princess Celestia caught start acting like a little filly. Moreover, behave like she did back when she really was a filly all those centuries ago and there is no records about Princess Celestia’s behavior growing up as a little filly, so who knows if she was a little Ms. troublemaker growing up before she became the calm demeanor her kind, Princess we all know and love today. Just think about it Prince Blueblood you might not know anything about her when she was a filly for all we know she could have been mud my fanatic who played in mud all the time.”
“Oh, my fanatic?”

“Or she could have been a very messy eater and food went flying everywhere. When she it her food.”

“Of messy eater?”

“Or since she is known as Princess of the sun she could been an early riser and would run to her caretakers bed and started bouncing on it over and over again saying wake up wake up wake up wake holder and over again.”

“Very big earlybird?”

“Or what happens if she was loud and noisy grabbing pots and pans and banging them together all ran all over again.”

“A noisy filly?”

“Or what happened. She’s a disaster waiting to happen, and I mean when she gets into up playful mode, but she starts running around in the house, selling, knocking over bookshelves smashing vases and so on.”

“A living disaster?”

“What happened she was an experimental cooker you do not bear people say that Celestia is not allowed in the royal kitchen to cook because she always leaves a disaster in the kitchen and her foods really bad what happens. It’s always been like that and she’s always trying to make random food creations like making up new food recipes without even studying how to cook wake lunar base mood a matching her sneaking off into your kitchen and grabbing random ingredients and then one she’s done making a total disaster in your kitchen painting and taking it. They eat her cooking and eating and you get poisoning and you up in the hospital for two weeks, or even more.”

“Experimental cook?”

At hearing this was the last straw before Prince Blueblood started looking green and I mean his wife, Christine, for turn literally, green, and he tried his best to cover his mouth to prevent himself from vomiting. While this was going on, Cadance, Spike, Shining. All were doing their best not exploding with laughter at hearing what Twilight had to say all of them in the group were pretty sure that Celestia was not gonna act anything like what Twilight was stating to Prince Blueblood since they all spent time with Celestia during hearts warming break so they all knew that Twilight was pulling his leg. While Celestia was getting out of frown she was wondering where in the world, word Twilight get the ideas from sure she did those things, a bed back when she was really a filly growing up, but not as bad as she was stating it for the most part, she was very well be case because she hadn’t be the big sister for Luna. Which then in turn pretty much when she did cosmic is in trouble was when Luna dragged her down those paths.

But Twilight was not all that done she was glad she was getting very this type her reaction from Blueblood, but she how one more thing to say, which she hoped would be the final straw for him. “Also, what happens if Princess Celestia was a notorious prankster back when she was little, we know that Princess Celestia does some teething now and then, what happened then, she had a big sense of humor and love pulling pranks and what if her main targets were the ones her parents placed at her caretakers when they were too busy at the moment I her caretaker. If you are the one responsible for her you did her caretaker, which would then meet you her main target you will want any pranks done on you now would you?”

At hearing this, both Blueblood and Celestia froze, but for two totally different reasons Blueblood were worried because he do not know if that statement was true or not, and if it was you do not know how good of a prankster she was back in the day for all he knew Celestia was the one who invented most of the pranks that are now written in prank books that pranksters followed by for when they first start at times. And he hated pricks with a passion an April Fools’ Day he would normally walk himself in his room because he was normally the target of pranks from the Castle staff. None of his friends would touch him. In fact, back before the royal staff started picking on him on that day he and his friends would pick some common her that they did not like an attack that person was so may pranks inmate am scared of leaving our home for weeks. He remembered that his first victim was Twilight Sparkle back when they were in magic kindergarten together even though they pulled pranks on her be for that day. They made their and with twice as bad on that day to make up for it. And he did not want anything to do with him being a victim of pranks.

While at the same time Celestia was thinking of about if Twilight was on to her and giving her a little warning up about not printing Blueblood. She made a huge mental note to make certain that she was nowhere near Twilight when she was pulling those pranks around Blueblood. As well as being extra careful on how she executed her pranks. Just then, she was snapped out of her thoughts when Blueblood started chuckling nervously. “I suppose you have a very good point. I’m not really much of a father figure in my I probably have a long way to go before I can take care of somebody as important as Celestia, let alone any other children and you taken such good care of your Dragon I can see why now they chose you over me, now if you excuse me, I got some duties to take care of. I hope you all have a good day and I hope to see you all at a later date.”

Soon after Blueblood left the group Celestia began yawns trying her best to make herself look as tired as possible. “From all the fun from hearts warming break through the trip back to the Castle. I’m pretty yawns tired. I think they would like to take a nap back in my quarters.”

Twilight looked at her for a moment and thought about it. While Celestia kept rubbing her eyes and yawning with every so often giving out a pleading look for her to go to sleep for a bit. This kept going on until Twilight, finally gave in. Soon after bite joined and because Celestia’s yawning was contagious and was making him tired now to. “Well, it won’t be lunch time for another three hours and I do want to check and see if there was any progress on the reversal spell, and if not, hopefully go to the library to take a look and see if there was any similar cases in the past that maybe you forgot about that could help buzz until this whole mess, and Spike looks tired as well. I guess you can take a nap as long as you agree to let Spike be in your room is wildly look like he needs a nap and I would feel a little bit better if you want completely alone. I note that guards would be guarding your door. But I would feel a little bit better. Spike was with you.”

Hearing this made Celestia both happy and also a bit upset. She was not really tired she was using this as an excuse to get away so that you can start printing Blueblood, but now that the fact that Spike is going to be in the same room as her might hinder her chances of speaking out. But if she didn’t agree to this, twilight might get a bit suspicious those she smiled at twilight, and nodded her head in agreement. “Of course, Twilight, that sounds great and thank you so much for letting me go take a nap.”

Twilight smiled at this, and soon after Spike and Celestia began their start to Celestia’s bed chambers. But be for Twilight followed him to make certain that they got to the room safely she turned toward her brother quick and whisper something to him. “Shining want your best guards. Guard in her chambers and to outperform the guards to keep a close eye on Celestia’s balcony.”

At hearing this, both Shining and Cadance gave out a puzzled look be for Shining, her eastbound it to Twilight comment. “Twilight why do I need to do such a thing?”

“Because I saw how Celestia reacted when I said key to be a notorious prankster are of all the things I said that one thing made her look like her heart started to skip it beat and she looked worried. I have a sinking feeling she wants to pull some pranks and this whole nap thing is her excuse to get away from me. So she could do so. Meaning, if you don’t want met so many reports about pranks happening all over the Castle which yield the bodily get blame for not having your guards do their job from propelling some like this from happening. The only reason in I agreed or heard to take a nap was because I can’t be 100% sure that she really doesn’t need this nap on. And also I do not need her to know that I’m onto her so guards on alert. Please?”

At hearing Twilight’s reasoning made pale because what no one else knows except for Princess Celestia is there the tradition that the Captain of the well cards has to read, though life records of each and every out Alcorn royalty that ever existed in Equestria. So he didn’t know about Princess Luna becoming nightmare moon. In fact, he’s probably the only other person besides Celestia herself at the moment who knew about it, but before Celestia and Luna ruled Equestria their parents ruled the land, and even though there is not much of records of long lost King and, Queen of Equestria there was a lot of speed tell files on the two princesses act there was a lot of files on Cadance as well. And from what he read long before Princess Luna became Nightmare moon both sisters were notorious prankster than would do prank wars with each other and each Princess had their own style of pranks which every single Captain of the Royal guards that existed during the two princesses pranks times from when they were filly up to the point of the Nightmare moon incident always put down that it was a miracle that they survived all those pranks and always thought it would be the end of the world when they start printing. Which Shining did not want to go through himself, so he looked to his sister nodded his head and began walking off to go get his most elites guards to start watching Celestia. All the while both Twilight and Cadance look towards each other with puzzled looks, wondering what could possibly be going through his head be for Twilight began to catch up to Celestia and Spike.

By the time Twilight reached Celestia and Spike. They were in front of Celestia’s bed chambers. Which Celestia was giving out a puzzled look. Because her normal guards at this time were not at the door. But different set of guards that she knew were normally meant for the more valuable items areas or dangerous relics, which she thought she it was odd and the fact that the guards were giving a very determined look at Celestia as if the new something was going to happen because of this, Celestia new something was up and she wanted to know what was going on. “Guards where my normal guards that guard my bedroom chambers at this time, and what will this that look you’re giving me?”

The guards started darting there are a set of one another and until they notice Twilight. Which then they started giving her a pleading look as if making her form making up something so than they can tell her what was really going on at this she sighed and walked over to Celestia and Spike while bringing up a good excuse for in hopes of not letting Celestia know that she believed that she was going to star point pranks in the Castle. “Well, I asked Shining to switch your normal guards with guards that have all know that more of an alert then your normal guards since Prints Blueblood one knows all about you being a filly more than likely by now at least half of all Equestria knows and we don’t want anything to happen to you now do we. And since I’m not going to be in the room with you and Spike. I thought it would be best if we had more alert guards watching her chambers makes her then nothing comes in or nothing comes out of your room sorry and this upsets you Princess.”

At hearing this made Celestia both relieved and worried she was relieved into thinking that no one knew that she was up to point pranks, but she was worried that she’ll be more prone to being caught with the fact that the guards are little bit more alert than normal, and with the fact that Twilight asked her brother to be more alert and more on guard and have the rest of the Royal guards be more alert did not help. She thought of thought of the fact that her most faithful student with plan ahead. This makes things up a bit harder than she hoped, but she was not going down without a fight. She did some more yawning and smiled at Twilight. “That is some smart thinking Twilight I am very most grateful for the Council both having so much faith in you watching over me because you think of everything, now if you don’t mind. I really would like to get some sleep now.”

Twilight nodded her head, and opened the bedchamber stores and tucked both Celestia and Spike in the Princess’s bed, turn off the lights and pulled the curtains shut and left the room after she closed the doors she whispered and low she could to the guards. “Make certain that no one other than Captain Armor, Princess Cadance, or myself enters her room unless Spike or Princess Celestia leave the room for some odd reason, and comes back in and if Princess Celestia, it does leave the room make certain that she does not have a single thing with her when she leaves, not even a book as the book paper, not even a piece of candy beads that room. And if she decides to take out Philomena of her room make certain that there are one unicorns and three Pegasus guards accompanying her the unicorn and one Pegasus to watch Celestia and make sure she says out of trouble the rest of the Pegasus Philomena I know for a fact Philomena loves doing pranks and those two together would equal trouble. And if Princess Celestia does leave her chambers in for me immediately. Do I make myself clear?”

Both guards saluted and whispered in this as low as they could as well. In response “of course Miss Sparkle will make certain that being of harm comes door. But as well make certain that she does not cause any trouble.”

Twilight nodded at their remark be for heading off to do as she told Celestia she would like to do during her naptime while in the meantime Celestia was waiting for like to get deep into his slumber once she was sure he was she got off the bed and went as quietly as she could to her closet and opened it. As quietly as she could. Once inside her closet. She went to the far back of her closet and pulled out all of her old printing gear just then she remembered that she had secret passages implanted into the Castle for when her sister returned and if she was lucky enough to get her back as Luna and not as Nightmare moon since her sister love secret passages she also remembered that everybody has forgotten about those secret passages for at least 500 years ago. Sure there were secret passages for the royal staff like the maids about learners the cooks and cleaners and such and Royal guards had their own special tunnels and such for emergencies, but the Royal staff’s tunnels and the Royal guard tunnels aren’t linked to each other and there were student rooms that one or the other, or neither could enter or so they thought. The tunnels that have been forgotten 500 years ago were special custom tunnels that were connected to the other two tunnels, but that entrances to the secret tunnels to the two main tunnels were hidden and you need a press the right button to open them and if you didn’t even know that the secret tunnels existed you wouldn’t be able to find the buttons to open them, not even by accident. The same is for the rooms that neither of the two commonly known tunnels to buy the staffing guards knew about because they too had buttons and harder places the fine than the normal buttons and levers and switches to open up to one of the two other tunnel passages this could work to her advantage. But the fact that occurred secret tunnel link to the other tunnels and if she wanted to get deserted room, she would have to go to those tunnels that the staff could go in and her guards can go in could lead to trouble if the catcher in the tunnels, but it was her best bet to get out of her room without anyone noticing. She took a deep breath and press the hidden. But then that she knew up that would open the passage from her closet walked into the secret passage and press the button been in the passage to close it and began walking down the old tunnels.

Twilight just left the research room that is looking into trying to undo the damage that the two time twins had caused with disappointment. It turned out that all they really did was collect all the items in the examination room scanned every single person in the room at the time of the explosion and collected magic samples from the two time twins which they need to get even more magic samples from the time twins since there are samples from the two aren’t as fresh any more. And left the mall in the research room for it. The cure project for hearts worming break which twilight understood since no one really works on heart warming break, unless they work for stores, restaurants and such. They were just starting to work on analyzing some of the items when she came in and they question why she was in there. I’ll without Celestia, she told him about Celestia taking a nap, which most of the researchers took it very well since they had kids of their own and they were also glad Twilight stopped by because they were planning on asking her for a magic sample at some point, which she gladly obliged. But as soon as she gave them a magic samples be pushed her out of the room because they knew for a fact that if given the chance she would start battering and analyzing as soon as possible they didn’t want her to get involved much with the research on less it was absolutely necessary, so now Twilight was on her way to the library, but halfway towards the library something in Twilight’s gut told her just go check on Celestia and Spike, so she decided to make a detour to Celestia’s bed chambers. Once she got there. The two guards saluted her and that her in the first thing she saw was that night was alone and that Celestia was gone, but Twilight didn’t want to panic just yet so she checked every corner of Celestia’s bed chambers went into Celestia’s closet personal bathroom study and all the other rooms in Celestia’s private chambers and even check to see if that was locked. Sure enough, everything was checked and accounted for except for the Princess. So Twilight turned around close the bed chambers door looked at the two guards and decided asked with of very angry tone of the one thing that came to her mind. “No one has entered or left the room right?”

The two guards looked puzzled at this question be for one of them decided to answer. “That’s right Miss Sparkle. No one has been in or out of the room since you left.”

Just then, the area around them felt as if it went down to -85° and the room seem to get darker as Twilight gave them all a look that they thought they would probably only see on Nightmare moon herself. “Then why is it that I can only find spike in that room and not Princess Celestia?”

At hearing this, the two guards hearts began to sank and the two rushed into the room, checking every corner of the chambers of Celestia and came back with baffled looks as if they don’t even know how it was possible they were enchantments into Celestia’s room. That’s linked to the guards armor if anyone teleported in or out of the room. All the guards in the Castle would feel it. Nothing seem to add up just then Shining decided to check and see how things were going and saw that it look like his sister was about to kill the two guards which meant somehow, someway Celestia got out of the room which brought fear to Shining armor, but he has to make certain so he walked over to the three. “Hey what’s going on?”

Soon after Shining said that everyone look towards him and his sister did not look all that pleased with him. “What’s wrong, WHAT’S WRONG? I’ll tell you what’s wrong somehow Celestia got out of the room without the two guards noticing THAT’S WHAT'S WRONG!”

With hearing those words Shining paled once more, and looked at his two guards who gave him an apologist like look then looked his sister which looked like she was ready to strangle him then back to his guards. “What are you standing around for start spreading the word that Celestia is out and about by herself without proper supervision you informed them of the Royal guards and tells them to spread the word , but do not read it out to everyone just between the guards and returned back here while the others stayed here in case a less he returns every so often open the door and go in there and check to see if she somehow sneaks back in if somehow she does return him form your partner when he returns. Or if you’re ready return that she had made it back to the room and have him inform me and the other guards that she has made it back to her room do I make myself clear?”

They both saluted. “SIR YES SIR.”

As one of them ran off Shining look back to his sister, who was already starting to go look for the Princess and he started to tail her. Meanwhile Celestia got out of the tunnel and was in prints Blueblood’s bed chambers. She began looking into her bag to figure out what she should do first. She then found her blend in soap dye collection that she plays preparation spell think That once belonged her sister that luna like to use on Celestia. Because Celestia had a white coat. When lunar had a dark blue coat and because of Celestia having white coat the dye work the best on her. It made her feel nostalgick for a moment until she just renumbered that Blueblood was a white coated pony as well and thought that knowing Luna if she found out that her student was of a younger sibling like she was Luna would have done this herself, so she decided to use the diet some Blueblood, but didn’t know which color to use to put in Bluebloods body wash.

While Celestia pondered on this, she was also trying to think like her younger sister and how she would go about this with the dyes. Since hair dyeing was her thing since Celestia was never fond of this type of pranking. Mostly because whenever the two did a prank war. It was normally kept between the two. Rarely was it brought up to any of the other Castle staff's and the only colors you could ever do to her sister was turning her black or making her glow-in-the-dark. Then she renumbered that one time. One of their prank wars was to prank the most Castle staff, and the rules were they weren't allowed to prank each other or visiting diplomats or such just Castle staff, which included the Royal guards which even back then most of the Royal guards were gray or white. Which because of this some of the guards became victims of one of Luna prank's where she added hair dyed too all of the white Royal guards, wash where and they were all pink. Which caused all of those guards not to be too thrilled about it whatsoever when she asked her younger sister about this. The only response she got was. "Because dear sister out of all the colors in the world men get very embarrassed if they get caught with the color pink on them. At least the weaker men. It takes a true man's to where pink with pride. So besides pranking them. I also got to see which guards are true men and that I should trust more with my life and which ones are the more cowardly kind."

Just then Celestia the began to smile as if she was Nightmare Moon herself and grabbed the pink dye and poured it in Prince Blueblood's soap and shake it up real good to make certain was well mixed in and place it back where it belongs. Just then she thought of something even better and grabbed Prince Blueblood's shampoo, and mixed another dye in it shook it up and placed it back on the shelf. Now that her first prank, was done she realized she would need to figure a way to make him come back to get himself clean since normally he would bathe in the morning unless somehow he got dirty, but she could not think anything at the moment, so she decided to leave the room just in case someone thinks about checking Prince Blueblood's room so she went back into the secret passage is once more.

At that very moment a Royal guard check to see if Princess Celestia was anywhere in that room, but just missed her so the guard continue looking for the Princess. Later on Celestia figured out a way to get Blueblood dirty before the next day. She found out that he had a date in the Royal gardens near the area where a patch of dirt got real muddy really easy with a small amount of water so Celestia placed the table where his date was going to happen in that very spot got a bucket of water and waited for the two to appear it did not take long and to the two were well seated Celestia then poured the bucket of water on the side where Blueblood was sitting making sure that no mud would be anywhere near the side where the mare was sitting and used of weakening spell on Blueblood's chair. As soon as she was done, she noticed that already that the chair would more than likely break in a few minutes. And since they just started to pour their tea. She knew for a fact it was safe to say he was going to fall in the mud real good, so she grabbed her bucket and got away from that area as soon as she could. By the time she got far away where no one could find her. She heard Blueblood screaming like a little filly and screaming how in the wide world of Equestria could there be mud in the Royal gardens when it was still the middle of winter and he knew for a fact that the area was very dry and knew that none of the snow moistened the area. At hearing this Celestia began to chuckle and continue off preparing for her next prank when she decided that the next one would be a big one.

At that very same moment Twilight got to the garden and saw Prince Blueblood freaking out in the mud just by seeing this she realized that Celestia could not be all that far and began running off looking for her. Not long after, Celestia made it to the dining room and started setting up of booby-trap for Prince Blueblood in their which took hours for her to complete almost around suppertime once she was done with her booby-trap she smiled with pride. Soon after she heard someone coming assuming that it was Prince Blueblood. She had activated the trap to set off with the first person who walked in and ran to hide waiting for her trap to hit her target.

But to her horror, it was not Prince Blueblood, but her niece Princess Cadance. Celestia was about to intervene and Warren Cadance about the booby-trap prank that she set it up, but it was too late.

As soon as Cadance is walked in the trapped activated which first dropped the 20 water balloons full of melted ice cream. Then the 10 different flavors of pies, blue and hit, Cadance then up 50 layer her multi-flavor cake stopped right on top of Cadance engulfing her with no trace of the young Alcorn of love insight. Instead of Celestia laughing at her well planned out prank. She rushed over to the cake and started trying to dig her niece out while crying out. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm so so sorry."

At this point both Shining and Twilight rushed into the dining room seeing Celestia digging at the cake being curious at why Celestia was doing that Twilight decided to levitate it is the layer of the cake into separate areas. As she did so she noticed that the layers closer to the bottom were splitting apart, and once she finally got the cake away from the area originally was at both she and Shining gasped at seeing back Cadance was inside the cake. Which Cadance was gasping for air and Celestia out was rep being her legs around Cadance is right foreleg crying over and over again. "I'm so sorry dated that print was immensely guiltily for another will never do that to you please give me."

Twilight didn't know whether or not to comfort Celestia or scold her for what she did. So she decided it would be best just to make certain back Cadance with all right before doing anything else all that Twilight new was once Cadance was taking care of. There was going to be very long talk that she will be having when Celestia.

Once Cadance was all cleaned up and starting to recover from the whole incident Twilight looked down at Celestia. "Celestia, you should know better. I'm pretty sure you still have the same mind as you did before the spell hit us and not of a young child. Seriously, this is something I would think that Shining would do if he was not a member of the Royal guards."

"HEY!"

"I'm sorry, Shining, but you can be a notorious prankster on April Fools' Day."

At that moment Celestia's head was facing towards the ground. "I know I'm sorry it's just when I heard what my nephew did to you back in magic kindergarten all he could think of was making him pay for what he done to you by what I said was not the best way of doing so."

At this moment Twilight did not know whether to let Celestia go or do something to make Celestia learn a lesson. After all this filly was once a mare who was the ruler of the country under normal circumstances you do not punish your ruler, although the Royal Council declared that as her legal guardian, twilight had the right to punish Celestia, it need be, and with that Twilight side. "I know you're sorry but there will have to be consequences. So for two months, there will be no hate at all within the Castle grounds."

At hearing this Celestia was about to protest until Twilight credit. "Not only is it a punishment, but I think Cadance will be a little bit scared of cake for a while, so it probably be best to keep take away from the Castle for her well-being as well. So if the 2 in one."

At hearing this Celestia shut her mouth not planning on complaining about that logic, but just then, Prince Blueblood rushed to freaking out that his white fur coat, was now as pink as Cadance. Which caused everyone in the room to burst out laughing Twilight last until she realized that more than likely Celestia did this and gave the young filly disapproving glare. "Scratch what I said earlier, no sweets at all in the Castle for three months."

At hearing this Celestia gave mortified look and was about the protest until Twilight gave her a disapproving look. Which made Celestia side in defeat. Later on that night prints Blueblood where the in's bed chambers grumbling about how he hoped that the Celestia. Being a filly problem will end soon because he highly doubt that his aunt would do something like this to him if she was in her normal state. Soon he reached his bed and then turn off all these lights with his magic. But as soon as he did his hair began glowing in the dark. Which made him scream like a little filly. And it was so loud that Nightmare moon even heard which made her wonder if Equestria was at war or something was all the records going around lately. "If there is a war going on in my homeland. My only hope would be that my sister's wins be because if anyone going to be anyone who ends her is me Maha, ha, ha!"

It's been a few months since Celestia had been grounded from all the sweets. In fact, as soon as Twilight found out about the glowing hair dye she extended the grounding. But now it was finally over and Celestia was finally having some cake since her grounding just ended when she was about to eat a slice of the cake Twilight rushed into the room having Celestia the slim her face in her own price of cake. "PRINCESS CELESTIA TOMORROW IS SUMMER SUN FESTIVAL AND NIGHTMARE MOON IS MORE LIKELY GOING TO BREAK FREE FROM MOON TOMORROW!"

At hearing this Celestia froze did she really lose track of time. She didn't really know what to do about this matter at the moment. She couldn't believe she didn't take the time to plan things out ahead like she normally did. Just when she was about to comment on what Twilight just said, Cadance walked in. "Ah Twilight very good. I was looking at what Celestia had planned for the summer sun celebration and it looks like she was going to entrust you with overseeing the preparation in pony vill."

At hearing this Twilight's mouth was agape while Celestia wish she could face hoof herself, but she wasn't really all that sure she would get away with that, even as a filly. She completely forgot that she put some of her plans on stopping Nightmare moon in her agenda though then it would looked official while all the while Twilight was baffled at the fact that Celestia would be so careless about not worrying about Nightmare moon that she would send her student away when she was really needed. Even before her mentor, even turned into a filly. "But… I… What!"

At hearing this Cadance chuckled. "Look on the bright side Twilight you have to be the one to raise and lower the sun and moon during the summer celebration in Celestia's seated wouldn't it be best to be already there ahead of time."

At hearing this Twilight was about to protest, but then saw the rationality in what Cadance. Just told her so she sighed in defeat. "Fine, but Celestia and Spike comes with me."

Celestia was about the protest when Cadance cut her off. "I don't see any trouble is that I hope you three have a great day."

At hearing this Celestia mind halted she did not and I repeat did not want Luna, seeing her like this. Especially when she's in her Nightmare moon state. She knew that Luna would never let her live this down. But just when Celestia was about to make an excuse to stay in Canterlot Twilight interrupted. "And no but Celestia there is no way am leaving you with in Canterlot when I'm not even here. I do not need you doing any pranks when I'm away so it's best that you just come with me."

At hearing this Celestia looked towards Twilight only to see that she was giving her a look that said 'I don't care if you are my mentor. Right now you're under my care and I'm not going to take no for an answer Celestia.' When Celestia saw this she knew for a fact that Twilight would not change her mind on this matter. Sure Twilights not normally stubborn, but once she is deadlocked on something unless you prove her wrong. She will not change her mind and this was one of them so Celestia side in defeat and nodded her head in agreement.

Two hours later Twilight, Spike and Celestia were riding a chariot to Pony vill and soon made it to the small town and landed just then Pinkie pie walked towards them. But as soon as Twilight said hello, the pink pony gasped and ran away. This made the three very confused, but then the three decided it was something. The town was used to so they just shrugged and went off to sweet apple acres where the three met Applejack which Apple Bloom commence in the state for brunch. Which then. As soon as they done met up with Rainbow dash and then finally made it to Rarity which up until then. No one realized that the little filly that was with Twilight was Princess Celestia. But as soon as Rarity got done with Twilights mane Rarity decided to take a better look at the filly and noticed the cutie Mark and you went away who it was. "SWEET CELESTIA IT CELESTIA! I can't believe it I heard that she was turned into a filly but I did not think that she would look so CUTE! I want dress her up I'll be right back with them."

At that moment Twilight decided take her chance and grab Spike and Celestia and make a run for it. Which then they met up with Fluttershy and soon after made it to the library where Pinkie pie was waiting for them. For the surprise party but eventually it was time for the sun to come up so they all went to town hall. But just when Twilight was about to head up this to Celestia's job of breathing the sun in her stead of Nightmare moon appeared.

Nightmare Moon began to laugh for a little bit before speaking. "Ah, it's so nice to see all your precious little sun loving faces."

Just then a Rainbow flew up to Nightmare moon's face. "And who are you and what do you want?"

"What am I not Royal enough for you now…?"

Just at that moment Nightmare moon sees Princess Celestia standing right next to Twilight. Which at that moment Celestia began to feel a little scared with the fact that her little sister just noticed her and was beginning to worry of what she was going to do. Meanwhile Nightmare moon eyes widened and her mouth slowly open agape before she shot a quick and shook her head. "Celestia is that you?"

Just before Celestia could make up some silly excuse that hide the fact that she was really Celestia can she was getting warm. But just when she was going to say no and say that she was a filly Pinkie pie decide the answer for her. "Hey how do you know Princess Celestia?"

At that moment Celestia was scared to death worrying what her younger sister will do to her. Now that she knew that she was a filly all the while continued to stare at Celestia before chuckling. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Celestia what happened to you? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha did Discord somehow get out of his stone imprisonment and turned you into a little filly or something? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha or did the elements of harmony think that you determine they as well when you use them on me a thousand years ago and you are now doomed to be a little filly for all eternity? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

As Nightmare moon continued to laugh everyone started getting a bit nervous on what Nightmare moon would do next. Except for Pinkie pie since she thought the laughing at someone else's pain was not very funny, so she decided to try to stand up for Princess Celestia. "Hey, it's not Celestia fault that two of her students and messed up on the midterm projects that turning her into a filly and transferring almost all of her magic into her personal student and accept the magic she had back when she was seven years old and now that her personal student have to raise and lower the sun and moon until they get it all fix and transferred her magic back into her!"

As soon as Pinkie pie was done saying this, everyone look towards Pinkie pie with horrified looks since she blurted out something that could be used against Celestia to Nightmare moon all the while Nightmare moon looked toward her in complete shock. She didn't know that her sister was now powerless to fight her at the moment and at that exact moment Pinkie pie for once in her life she felt that she may have said too much. "And maybe it was a bad idea to bring all that up."

At that moment Nightmare moon, began to smile evilly. "Oh really dear sister lost all of her magic except up to a seven-year-old filly that is very interesting Celestia."

At hearing this, everyone except Celestia and Nightmare moon yelled out. "SISTER!"

Which soon after they said this Nightmare moon began to levitate Celestia towards her. "Yes we are sisters, but should you really be called the older sister now that your nothing more than a seven-year-old little filly? Maybe I should be the older sister now?"

At this point Celestia began to struggle in Nightmare moon's magic grip. "Luna put me down this second!"

At hearing her old name Nightmare moon frowns. "I told you to stop calling me by my birth name and start calling me Nightmare moon little Tai! And you can't tell me what to do anymore since you are now the little sister and I now the big sister, ha ha ha ha ha"

just then Nightmare moon's magic was canceled out with a magenta magic and Celestia began to levitate towards Twilight. Which soon after, Celestia landed on top of Twilights back. Which soon after she looked towards Nightmare moon. "I don't care if you two are sisters or not Celestia's under my supervision and I won't let you hurting her under any means."

At hearing this Nightmare moon put the pieces together as to figuring out that this unicorn was Celestia's personal student. "So I'm going to have to assume you're the personal student that has the rest of Celestia's magic in her. While it doesn't matter because the sun will never rise again. The and night will last forever ha ha ha ha ha."

And with that Nightmare moon turned into of magical cloud flew away.

As soon as Nightmare moon left Twilight look towards Celestia. "Okay I know for a fact that you know where the elements of harmony are. So you better tell me where they are now or you're grounded again."

At hearing this Rainbow Dash laughed. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you mean to tell me that you grounded Princess Celestia before? Oh man that is just rich. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

At hearing this Twilight gave out a deadpan look and looked back towards Celestia. "Well?"

At this Celestia side. "There in Luna's and my old castle in the center of the Everfree forest."

At hearing the everyone gasp. Knowing about the danger that lived within the forest. But Twilight just gave a determined look. "Okay then Spike I want you to take Celestia back to the library and stay there until I get back. If I'm not back in 24 hours then you two go back to Canterlot and tell Shining and Cadence what is going on."

"Got it."

But Celestia did not like the idle shire she wanted Twilight to do this at one point. But that was before she was turned into a filly and most of her magic went into Twilight. Back then Celestia had it planed that if Twilight could not find 5 friends and bound with the elements of harmony she would step in and save Twilight and fight Nightmare moon. But now that she was a filly she didn't like the idle of Twilight going those with this. 'No I'm going with you."

"No way I'm not letting you come with you could get hurt."

"I can get hurt if my sister comes back for me and you are gone. Besides I know my way around the castle so I can show you where the elements of harmony are.

Applejack looked at Twilight. "She got you there."

At hearing this Twilight ground. "Fine you can come with but you have to stay near me at all times got it."

"Got it."

"Spike I want you to still stay here and wait for 24 hours then you two go back to Canterlot and tell Shining and Cadence what is going on. Got it Spike?"

"Got it."

"Alright Celestia lets go."

Just before the two left Applejack stepped in front of them. "Now hold it there is no way I'm letting you two. Go it all alone I'm going with."

"Me two."

"Me Three"

"I'm going as well darling."

"Um I'm going as well I couldn't live with myself if Princess Celestia got hurt in the Everfree forest and I wasn't there to help out. Especially with her being a little filly right now."

At hearing this Celestia was both glade and upset she was glade that there could be a chance that elements of harmony could be awaken once more. But she was upset that more then likely they are only coming because she was going and the fact she was a little filly. Celestia just hope that thing will work out in the end.

When Twilight on the other hoof was debating whether or not this was a good idea or not. In the end Twilight thought that if anything happened to her at lest one of the others could get Celestia to safety. "Alright lets go."

And with that the seven ponies started to head off to the Everfree forest not knowing that Nightmare moon was watching them.

Chapter 21

The group made it to the Everfree forest and started to walk in the forest. They soon made it to a cliff and Twilight decided to ask the others something. "So has anyone other then Princess Celestia been in the Everfree forest before?"

"Goodness no."

"This hear forest is not like the rest of Equestria it douse things on its own its just not natural."

At hearing this Celestia gave out a deadpan look. "You know before the 6 founders found Equestria. The land had to take care of it's self so really the forest is really natural when Equestria is no longer natural. There are also other kingdoms that live with the land taking care of its self like the Everfree forest. The only reason we mess with the nature is because we don't want to deal with droughts, tornadoes and those type of things. So if you ever travel out of Equestria others will say we are unnatural. Griffins may not think so as much since they mess with their weather like the Pegasuses but might still think were more unnatural because earth ponies mess with the flow of life in the land, and unicorns end up making wild come to Equestria. Which causes an increase in the pegasuese and earth ponies abilities. When an alicorn douse all three types of ponies abilities. Which by that makes the three different ponies tribes even more stronger."

At hearing this all but Celestia's Eyes were wide eyed.

But soon Applejack was the first speak. "You mean to tell me we are the unnatural one's?"

Celestia just giggled at that. "Not at all we just live life a little different then others is all."

But just then the part of the cliff that they were all standing on broke off and all of them except for Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Celestia. Which Rainbow and Fluttershy went and helped Rarity and Pinkie pie. When Celestia was heading to Twilight but just then a blue mist knocked her into a tree. which soon Applejack made it to Twilight. "Applejack what do I do?"

Applejack looked up before answering. "Let go."

"What are you crazy?"

"No I'm not. What I'm telling you is the honest truth. Let go and you will be fine."

Twilight did what she was told and as she was falling Rainbow and Fluttershy caught her. As soon as the landed Twilight started to look around for Celestia until she saw her in the tree. "Celestia how did you get up there???"

"I think my sister pushed me here."

Fluttershy looked back at the cliff. "You don't think she made the cliff break do you?"

At hearing this Celestia side. "I wouldn't doubt it. Out of the two of us she was the war expert. In fact she was in charge of the training program for the Royal Guards. Instead of the captain doing that job so over time the captains let the let the Royal Guards slack off in training. Which made them weaker and weaker with every generation. Twilight's older brother has started making the training program harder and make shire that those who are Royal Guards train still even thought they have the job. But it is a far cry from when Luna was in charge of training the Guards. The cliff breaking s a trick she did many times with Griffins, dragons, and many other enemies in war. I bet she will have more traps up soon."

At hearing this every one looked at each other with a look that said. *Every one keep an eye out for more traps and lets stay away from cliffs as much as possible.* They all nodded and they all started to walk towards the castle, with Nightmare moon watching them.

Chapter 22

They went through many more traps but they made it to the Castle of the two sisters. Which Rainbow had to fix the brig so the others could get to the other side. After dealing with the shadow bolts and as soon as the 5 out of the 6 elements of harmony touch the ground the elements Celestia and Twilight were taken away by a vortex and disappear to another part of the castle. As soon as this happened the 5 other ponies started to look for Celestia and Twilight. Mean while Celestia and Twilight were face to face with Nightmare moon. "Well I didn't want to bring the purple one with us because I wanted some sister time with you Celestia. But I guess it doesn't matter no douse it little sister?"

At that moment Twilight stood in front of Celestia and standing in the way of Nightmare Moon. "Look Nightmare moon I don't know if the story of how you became this way is true or not. But family should not fight with one and other especially siblings."

At hearing this mad Nightmare moon made. "You don't know what it is like being the younger sister! So don't try and lecture me about how Celestia and me should get along! Because you don't know what it is like to be in an older siblings shadow!"

"Actually I do."

At hearing this both Nightmare Moon and Celestia looked at her. Nightmare moon did not know what the purple pony was talking about. When Celestia knew that Twilight has an older brother but she thought that the two were happy and that since there path were so different that there could be no tubule of being under any shadow. So Celestia was at a loss as well when Twilight said that. "I have an older brother and to me he is my big brother best friend forever. But before I got my cutie mark when i was in magic kindergarten a year before I got accepted to Celestia school for gifted unicorns. I was being bulled by my class mate because I was smarter then most of them and Celestia's nephew Prince Blueblood lead the bulling. They would do everything to me from stealing my lunch, knocking away my books taking my personal collection of advance magic’s books, stealing my toys and never giving them back. But as time went on and some of my filly classmates found out about my older brother and started to get a crush on him. Soon those same filly's got more info about my brother from older relatives that were in the same grade as my brother. They would still call an egg headme from time to time and other nerd names but then they added in. I get way you read so much, because you want to catch up to your brother. Well news flash you never be as good as him. You will never be as good as your brother. Give up your brother will reach his dreams but you will never be anything. The list would go on with what they came up with. But when I got my cutie mark and became Celestia's personal student I thought that it would end of the bulling. But it didn't some of my magic kindergarten class mate some how made it to the school as well and made friends with those who wanted to be Celestia's student. Which when they learned about my brother they would say the same thing, but added in. Your bother should of been Celestia's student. Your brother has more magic then you will ever get. Give it up you will never be as good as your brother even with Celestia's help. That went on and still goes on today so I get how it feels to be under someones shadow. But there is one thing you don't get about being under a siblings shadow."

At hearing this the two alicorn siblings were shocked from hearing this. Celestia for this being the first time hearing about this, shire Twilight's mom told Celestia about the bulling but she didn't know that part of it was because of Shining Armor. When Nightmare moon was shocked about not only this unicorn had an older sibling and knew what it is like to be in one's shadow. But she was also wondering what she didn't know that her sisters student knows. "And what might that be?"

At hearing this Twilight smiled. "They are just as much under our shadow and we are to them."

At hearing the confused Nightmare moon. "I don't get it how is Celestia under my shadow?"

"They don't get under our shadow the same way we do, a lot of times some one will bring up my achievements to my brother thinking that he did it not me. He would then have two chose one being telling the truth or take the credit. Ether way when someone brings my achievements to him he starts to feel like I'm becoming a better pony then him or that I don't need him anymore. Which that's my shadow that I make will cover him. You see it goes both ways ether you see it or not."

At hearing this Nightmare moon was shocked she didn't know what to think. In her frustration Nightmare moon slammed down her hoofs down and accidentally destroyed the elements of harmony.

As soon as the elements of harmony were destroyed all three froze not knowing what to do now. Nightmare Moon looked scared at what she did. "I didn't mean to do that. I was just so frustrated that I just slammed down my hoofs and they broke. I'm...I'm...I'm..."

At that moment Nightmare Moon broke down crying while laying on the floor. Seeing this Celestia and Twilight ran up to her and Celestia began to try comfort her sister. "Luna I know you didn't mean to it is going to be okay."

At hearing this Nightmare Moon looked up at Celestia with tears in her eyes. "No it won't be Tia ever since I trended myself into Nightmare Moon it is like an another me is telling me to keep it night time internal and to hurt you and your student. Unless some miracle happens you two will have to get ride of me."

At hearing this Celestia hug tighter on her sister soon after the five other pony's that came with Twilight and Celestia started to come in to the room. Which at that moment Twilight knew what to do. "I know you didn't mean to brake them and in a way you didn't."

At hearing the the two sisters looked at Twilight with shocked looks on there faces but Twilight peeked on going. "Because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right here!" At hearing this Nightmare Moon stud up and gently pushed Celestia away because if Twilight was right there was a 50/50 chance that she was going back to the moon and she didn't want to take Celestia with her. So she stood and waited and see what will happen. "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of laughter! Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of loyalty!"

At that moment the elements of harmony fixed them self's and went to who they were meant for as the two sisters looked at the floating elements only to see five at the both shouted out. "But where is the six element?!"

At hearing this Twilight smiled "It is made from the spark that came into my hear when I released how happy I was to see these five ponies. When I figured out that thees five are my firesides. They help me bring out the element of magic!"

Right at that moment all but Twilight's element became necklaces when Twilight's became a crown. That let out a rainbow that hit Nightmare Moon that didn't sent her back to the moon but trued her back into Princess Luna. But sadly not in her full strength but back to what she looked like when she and Celestia were teens. Her hair was a light blue and her coat was the same color as Twilight's hair. At seeing this Celestia ran up to Luna while crying. "Luna...Luna...Luna!"

Luna opened her eyes to see that she was not on the moon, but at the same time felt very week. "I'm still hear?"

Celestia smiled at Luna. "Yes, yes you are Luna and you look like you did when you were a teenager."

"What!"

Luna looked at herself and then looked the main 6 who were all looking at her five of them giving her odd looks since they didn't know what happened when it was just her and Celestia and Twilight. Twilight on the other hoof look like she was glade that this happened which she desisted to speck at that moment. "Well look on the bright side you aren't back on the moon and you can be with Celestia and start fresh."

After everyone calmed down from what just happened. Twilight finally raised the sun and all 8 of them headed back to Ponyville where everyone were glade to see them all right and were welcoming to Princess Luna. Which soon after Cadence and Shining Armor got there and ran to Twilight and Celestia alone with Spike. They were all happy to see one and other again but Twilight was sad that she was now had to go back to Canterlot and leave her new friends. Celestia saw this. "Whats wrong Twilight aren't you happy that we can go home now?"

"Sorry Celestia its just that I really like the friends that I just made here in Ponyville and now I have to leave them."

"You can stay here if you want to Twilight infect that might be for the best since the other Element bares live here and it might me best if you all are near each other so you all can keep the bound that is needed to able to use them again."

At that moment Twilight garbed Celestia. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

At that moment Cadence walked up to them. "Celestia you do know that because the Council said that you have to stay with Twilight until we get you back to normal. Meaning you will have to stay here in Ponyville as well."

At hearing this Celestia's eyes widen and before she could speak Luna spook up. "If that is the case then can I stay here as well?"

At hearing this all eyes went to Princess Luna which made her uneasy. "I mean I have been gone for 1000 years and at the moment the only one I know is my sister. Also Twilight Sparkle is the only other pony I know so I feel more safe with them also I am out of date and I think my sister, her student and the ponies of this town. Would help me a lot more with the times now then the nobles in Canterlot because if there anything like the nobles of 1000 years ago they are just greedy baby's."

At hearing this Celestia busted out laughing. "You have no idle Luna. You remember the our nephew Prince Blueblood the first?"

Luna nodded her head. "Of course I remember him that big baby was one of the worst pony's I've ever meat I wanted to send him to your sun just because he was so annoying... Why?"

"Well he did get married and his descendant Blueblood I don't know how many numbers nor do I care used to pick on Twilight alone with there class mates in magic Kindergarten."

At hearing this Luna froze, Rarity joined in in the frozen club but for different resounds. Luna for the fact that one the evil Blueblood line was still alive and two that that said blood line had brought harm to the one who had saved her. When Rarity was shocked that the pony that she wished to not only meat but to fall in love with was such a jerk but was hopeful that Prince Blueblood was now a better pony then when he was a child. At the same time Twilight gave Celestia a look that said [Did you have to tell everyone about that?]

Soon Luna started to look mad and some ponies started to worry that she might turn back into Nightmare Moon. "He better hope that I never gets to meat me. Because when I'm done with him he'll will wish I was still on the moon."

Everyone froze not wishing to be Prince Blueblood but Twilight didn't like the idle of Blueblood to suffer more because of her. "Princess Luna please don't bother with Blueblood. It was along time ago and Princess Celestia already did pranks on him and got grounded for it. So again please don't bother with him he is not worth it."

At hearing this Luna looked at her sister. "Really Tia you couldn't wait for me to help out with the prank pay back on him? I mean come on if he is anything like the Blueblood the first he has a white fur coat I could use my hair dye and put it in his shower gel and a different or glow in the dark for shampoo."

At hearing this Twilight froze for a moment but the got mad and shouted. "IT WAS YOUR DYE THAT CELESTIA USED ON BLUEBLOOD?!"

Everyone looked at Twilight shocked at what she just said, but then soon Luna started to look at Celestia with an evil smile. "Oh really now you used my dye with out asking me?"

At hearing this and seeing her sister face Celestia started to get very scared and run and hid behind Twilight hopping that she could protect her from Luna. Everyone Everyone except for Twilight and Spike froze at what they just saw even Luna's mouth was wide open. "Did my sister run away from me because she was scared of what was going to do to her and is now hiding behind Twillight's back?"

Twilight gave them all a dead pan look. "Yes, yes she did. This happens some time with her ever since this whole thing started."

At hearing this Luna began to laugh and soon after everyone else stated to laugh as well. Celestia started to pout at being laugh at but knew that if she told them to stop laughing at her. They would keep laughing or even laugh louder then that are now so she just waited it out. Which luckily for her they stopped soon enough because most of them just remember that they are laughing at Princess at Celestia and that she could give them pay back once she was back to normal or from they just heard from Twilight that Celestia is not above pranks and now that Twilight is staying here and by that means Celestia will be staying here as well. They were not safe from her pranks and Luna who just said she likes pranks as well. No one was safe from the two sister's pranks. The only one's that did not start to worry about it was Twilight , Shining, and Cadence who were use to it and not thinking about it.
