My Life Growing Up

View Online

I am Passions Star, I wear a hat.

It all began not long after I was foaled, how long ago? I no longer truly remember you have to understand, when I say "It began" I mean "Foal napped." I was taken from my parents not long after I was foaled and sped away in secret.

Why was I taken? what had I done? Questions without answers that would rattle about in my head for as long as I lived.

It was just after the two sisters did defeat Discord and wrest the land to their own control that my story begins.

For I was placed placed in the arms of a Royal Guardsman as a tiny foal and taken before the two sister Princesses. The Guardsman had said, "The Package has arrived safely, Highness." As I was then turned over to Celestia herself. She was then young and Beautiful perhaps a Goddess for that is what she still is as eternal as the Sun she rises and sets. Celestia did raise me and take care of me and entered me into her school for young Unicorns. She also did tutor me in the ways of an Alicorn.

it is here, dear reader, that I shall tell you, I am indeed, a Natural Alicorn myself. My name is 'Passions Star' I represent the elements of Light and life, upon my flank a sun, similar to Celestia. In appearance my body and my wings are as golden as the purest gold with a golden horn atop my forehead my mane and tail appear as blue fire but no I am in no way related to Celestia or Luna by birth at least to my knowledge for I believe I am from another land perhaps another world I know not the answer all I do know is I was adopted by the two sisters who made me their own I was never taught who my real parents were or why I was taken or what my real purpose might be to much yet hidden.

- - -

Life with the Two Sisters was mostly about study and when I was not at study I was learning how to be a proper princess with etiquette and poise and the Royal speak and all tests. I was not allowed far from the Castle grounds without a Royal Guardsman to escort me and if we did leave the grounds, it was only to go to Canterlot prope, for small trips to the cafe or the store for goods and never to stay long during this time I made a few Unicorn friends as well.

Life was pretty good under the two sisters until that one day the shadows got to Luna turning her into Nightmare Moon, you see, Luna had seen the ponies sleep under her moon, and yet watched the ponies play under her sisters sun, and in her anger, turned her back on all that is good and became Nightmare Moon, a twisted version of her former self, the two sisters fought and Celestia had to use the elements of harmony upon her sister and banish her to the moon for a thousand years. Poor Luna, and poor Celestia for what she had to do to protect her kingdom! I would watch Celestia cry every night for her lost Sister. She would go to the highest peak and raise the moon and there she would cry herself to sleep. This is how it went every night, since she banished Luna. Times were not happy then for watching Celestia go through this night after night in such pain. It did not help that I was missing Luna myself, the two I loved who had adopted me, often I too would cry myself to sleep.

Nine hundred and ninety nine years passed and Celestia took on a new Student who called herself 'Twilight Sparkle' a real Book Worm that one.

It was Twilight that predicted the return of Nightmare Moon after she discovered the prophecy and then Twilight had informed us of her findings.

Celestia had Twilight taken to Ponyville to make friends with five others who then became the Mane Six as I called them.

Celestia told Twilight of the six Elements of Harmony and to gather to her friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinky Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Apple Jack to find the elements at the old castle and to stop Nightmare Moon and return her to the Luna we all knew and loved.

Twilight Sparkle then took up this mantle and with her friends set forth. Luna was indeed returned to us and the joy once again returned to the castle.

- - -

Finally the day came when I would graduate from all the training and be able to have a life outside the classroom though I pretty much stayed at the Castle as I had no where else to live and I was still technically the adopted daughter of Celestia and Luna and a Princess in my own right.

So yes, I stayed on.

Though there were times when I got restless, and would surprise the maids when they caught me working in the scullery, washing dishes or mopping floors.

Why not? why can a Princess not do these things?

Also knowing that I perhaps had a greater purpose I continued to study. Yeah, I was just as bad as Twilight, a real book worm. Once in a while, Twilight and I would study together on one of Twilights visits to Canterlot.

This is pretty much how my life went, another day, more study.

I have yet to find the answer to what my Destiny actually is. Though I did get to see my friend Twilight become the Princess Alicorn of Friendship an Magic. But alas, perhaps I will never find my true Destiny though I will keep searching for the answer and I will not give up on my quest.

The days still progress as I still continue that search reading book after book searching for an answer to my dilemma what is my place in this world anyway? What am I meant to be? what is my Destiny? I just keep searching... Searching...

The highlights of my time spent here are the Grand Galloping Galas, a time to stretch and relax, a time to enjoy friendships made, a time to celebrate life. But then that is my element really. I like dressing up for the events the gowns by Rarity are fantastic she is one of our best fashion designers and the element of generosity and though I am a Princess in my own right the Princess of Light and Life, I always tend to stay in the background more and let Celestia and Luna shine. And though Princess Twilight Sparkle is a friend I tend to let bow to her too for the the same reason as I kind of consider myself a 'fifth wheel' Princess. Although in the event there are no other Princesses for the Royal Guardsmen to report to they would report to me. I still find that a scary concept something I hope never comes to pass let me just hide in the shadows and study.

Even when I was presented with my own set of Royal Regalia I never wear it, in my book, there are only four, count them four, true Princesses, Twilight Sparkle and Cadence. Though they are not true Alicorns, they were gifted as Alicorns for the deeds they have done, good deeds, as the good souls they are. And the two sisters, Celestia and Luna, leaders of Equestria, True Alicorns.

Yeah, I am a little 'p' princess, or as I prefer, just Passion, or Pass for short, and this brings us to why I wear a hat.

I wear a hat to hide the fact or at least try to hide the fact that I am an Alicorn by trying to pass myself of as a Pegasus.

yeah a super tall Pegasus as tall as Celestia with a flaming blue translucent mane and tail with a sun cutie mark does raise a few questions.

Always the same questions: Why are you so tall if you are a Pegasus? Why the strange Mane and Tail? Why the Sun cutie mark? Are you related to Celestia?

Always the same Answers: Birth defect, birth defect, I do not know, no.

Moving to Ponyville.

One day, I decided that I would move from Canterlot, and live in Ponyville near the Everfree forest. I wanted to be a bit more independent as I continued my studies and I had also taken up poetry as a pastime, perhaps also a way to earn some bits and make my way.

But first I had to find a plot of land and purchase it. My Adopted mothers Celestia and Luna helped me there, though they did place upon me a stipulation: the property must be fenced and gated with a guardhouse at the gate manned by two royal guards at all times, I did capitulate to their wishes and thus work began on my new home, a place that I could call mine.

- - -

Ground broke today on the building of my new home, though it should not take long to build, it is a modest house, enough for one Alicorn and some things she has collected over the years.

As a precaution, I am having a vault installed to protect my more critical and private things, like the Royal Regalia of a Princess that I will never wear. I really do not know how many times I told Celestia that there are only 4, count them, 4 Princesses and that I am just a misplaced Alicorn.

While awaiting my new house to be built I continued on at the Royal Castle, but had Rarity make a costume so I would look like an Earth pony with a tall hat. I talked Celestia into letting me move to a small apartment in Canterlot to further create the illusion that I was nothing special, during the time my house was being built.

Darnit! Celestia assigned a couple of Guards to stand watch over my Apartment making it difficult to keep up the illusion.

- - -

Finally the day came that my house was finished in Ponyville, my own house!

Moving it was a lot of work of course, amidst questions from the town folk: "what important pony will be living here?", "Why do you need Guards if you are an Earth Pony?" and so on...

I finally had to drop my attempts at the illusion and admit my Alicorn heritage today, yeah, I am a full blooded natural born Alicorn. But I insist as always, I am no Princess and will forever hide the Regalia I was given in my vault telling no one that I was adopted by Celestia and Luna.

I insisted the town folk treat me as any pony else and soon began to fit in and true to my promise to myself I never would do any magic above the level of a Unicorn, Oh, I could if I needed to, but only in times of absolute need, but in truth, I really feared having so much power and the fear still remained of losing my identity with these Towns folk, I just wanted to be a simple pony, nothing special.

After all, like anyone else, I had my self doubts and my worries, I made mistakes like anyone else, heck, if anyone tells you they are perfect, they are probably trying to sell you something.

I finally obtained a job working on the apple farm for the Apple family and they are such nice people working at Sweet Apple Acres is a sheer pleasure and is helping me to fit in. And with such down to earth lives around me to learn by I have learned much from the Apple family.

Truly: I am just an average pony to these ponies.

- - -

Today is the first day working at Sweet Apple Acres and if feels good to be working among my friends, a little hard work does not hurt anyone.

Watching AJ buck apples was amazing, took me twice as long to pick apples as it did her to buck them, finally I got smart and used the power of my horn to shack the trees and I got my two shadows tp pick them up and put them in the baskets, my guards were not happy about that.

Celestia and Luna were not really happy about my lax measures of security either, and made no secret of their displeasure with me, yeah, I got berated for it time and again but I did not care I just wanted to be normal folks.

I even wrote a poem one day about it, I called it: "The Curse of the Alicorn".

I got what for for that one!

But yeah, who wants to be a highfalutin Alicorn anyway? when you can be just "Plain old folk" and live a normal life, though I know one day this will end and my true purpose and destiny will come to light, but until then, hey, just call me Star, or as some jokingly call me: "Post Script".

I have really come to love life among the ponies in Ponyville, I would not trade this life for anything, though my poor Guards have a heck of a time keeping up with me, at least no one calls me "Princess" anymore, they know what I will say if they do: "No, your Princesses are four, let me count them off, Celestia, Luna, Twilight Sparkle and Cadence. These are the only ones you should ever call "Princess". I am just an Alicorn. Perhaps one day my destiny will call and I will answer, but until then, just call me star".

Anyway, life moves on as life always does, and I continued making friends and working at Sweet Apple Acres, life indeed is sweet, like the apples I pick and the fields that I plow, one day, AJ even showed me how to buck apples making my work much easier, though an Alicorns strength is such I nearly kicked the first tree over, AJ and I got it replanted though, I learned just how much force to use and where to place the baskets, my Guards of course were glad, they did not have to pick up apples any more, and I was happy to haul the apple cart.

Being the adopted daughter of the two sisters, I was also required to attend the Grand Galloping Gala's, not that I minded, but they always insisted I be in full regalia for the event, it was one concession I made to my adopted mothers, as it would be unseemly for me to play "farm girl" at the events, even my friend AJ Dressed up real nice for the events, I would always go with the mane 6 as part of their party.

Life in Equestria

View Online

While in Ponyville today, Silver Screen came up to me and asked if he could be my student, so I accepted him under wing, no pun intended.

- - -

Life here it Equestria has proven more and more interesting each day and I am learning to accept that I am indeed a Princess.

But do not let anyone tell you that the life of a Princess is one of leisure for it is not. It is hard work and continuing lessons, helping others, guiding, teaching being supportive and most of all being a friend to others. If you think for a moment a Princess does not get her hooves dirty well I have a surprise for you, we do get our hooves dirty.

Every job or position has its rights and responsibilities, being a Princess, more so, but we earn those rights as they are not just handed to us on a silver platter and indeed come with allot of responsibility, responsibility to our public and responsibility to our position. indeed It is work, more work and still more work. That is why I denied what I am for so long and ran from my duties I knew what was to come but I will hide no more! I will embrace what I am and shoulder my duties from now on!

- - -

Having a student under my wing is allot of responsibility, answering questions, and just generally having someone look up to you, it is a new experience for me as well learning new things about what I can do and am capable of as having a student is a give and take proposition.

Mean time life does goes on as always with daily chores and so on, life always has it's wonders.

- - -

I have been getting to know the other ponies in Ponyville, everyone of them are nice to me, and I have made a great many friends here, Equestria is an amazing place to live.

I have found a new way to occupy my time here, I have started an emotional support system for these Ponies to kind of take a load off of Celestia's shoulders, not that Celestia does not love her subjects, as I know she does, but I had best find ways to help out too. And I find I quite enjoy helping others this way. So between working for Sweet Apple Acres and doing emotional support, I am quite busy.

Life is good I must say, everyday I learn more about myself and how to help out often traveling now.

My duties have begun to take me all over Equestria though unfortunately, I had to bid my job at Sweet Apple Acres farewell, doing emotional support now takes all my time, but I do not mind.

Emotional support has become a business now, with offices throughout Equestria, the Equestrian University has even started a course in Psychology, Celestia approves the licenses when the student successfully completes the coursework.

Equestria has indeed grown a lot since those bad old days under Discord, even Discord himself is reformed and a valuable ally.

Through it all though, I still know so little about where I came from, how I got here, but I decided it no longer matters, as I have found my place, helping others.

I have grown tired of traveling and have since devoted my time as an Instructor at the University.

All those smiling faces each morning really brightens my day, and yet I still find time to attend the Grand Galloping Gala when it comes around, or spend time with my friends.

- - -

Ah, spring break, this is the time we instructors use to prepare for the coming semester, Class work to plan, lessons to set up, then some much needed time off for us too. Today, I shall just explore Canterlot, been meaning to get a house here since I started working at the University, I am meeting with Realtor Fancy Hooves today to go house hunting, she mentioned a nice two story house on the outskirts of town.

Once I saw the house, I fell in love with it, it is the last house on the end of the block, next to a park where I sometimes go to have a picnic of sorts, just to get out and enjoy nature, sometimes I might even go and visit Celestia and Luna, but they are generally so busy I do not like to bother them much.

I have a moving company coming with my things from ponyville, and the Realtor, Fancy Hooves, is going to handle the sale of my old house there. The moving company I hired is called "Two Pony Show" they are run by brothers, Hoofwork and Strongback, nice fellows.

My stuff arrives today and I can fully move in, I have been staying with a fellow Professor from the the University, she is a very close friend, but it will be nice to finally have a place of my own.

- - -

There have been many who have asked me, what it is like watching friends pass on as I live on, it is a valid question and does indeed deserve an answer.

It hurts, I do not know how else to put it, and I cannot sugar coat it.

But the pain is not forever, and life does go on, I do not think of their ending, rather I prefer to think of the lives they led and my time walking with them, the wonderful things we would do together, how much we meant to each other, but believe me, my tears fall on the parchment as I write this.

My advice? think not of how they died but of how the lived and their joy in life, live for the day, like there is no other and do not mourn but be happy for what once was.

Yes, I have made and lost many friends, but I am eternal and I am eternally grateful for all my friends.

Think not about death, but rather life.

- - -

Speaking of which, Celestia had asked me up to the castle today.

I must not keep the Princess waiting, so I go, er... Guards, always guards, has she no clue I can take care of myself? *sighs*
Alright then, onward chariot! to the castle!

- - -

Yet another fine day, the main six are coming to visit today, no I do not mean Twilight Sparkle and her friends though they will be remembered, I mean the new Main Six, the next generation, Magic Star, their leader, Element of Magic, Sunshine, Element of laughter, Morning Dove, Element of Kindness, Daring Dash, element of loyalty, Fantasy, Element of Generosity, and finally, Little Apple, second generation of the Apple Family.
