This story is a sequel to Fed up

Things just never seem to settle down for the fair sun princess; even when she intends to make way for things to settle down. Despite three separate princesses and one princess in training, there’s always something that seems to come back to bite her in the but. First it was her previous student showing up with a despicably large superiority complex. Then it was Chrysalis’ threats not being quite as empty as she thought, as she happened to say hello to her sister. Couple those things with the perpetual worry that something else could crawl out of the woodwork, and you’ve got a recipe for a vacation that Celestia is trying really hard--and half failing-- to enjoy.

Will Equestria survive without Celestia? Will she ever find out who her granddaughter is? Will Equestria be able to hold back Cocoon’s attempt at an invasion? Will Tartarus stay locked up long enough for there to be relative peace? Will her old student ever get her slice of humble pie? Probably, but Celestia really doesn’t want to get involved. She’s intent on enjoying her vacation… Even if it kills her.

A story with many different settings that occasionally converge with each other.

Tags will be updated over the story's progression. Cover image will be removed upon artist request.

There are more characters than the character tag will allow, hence the "other" tag.

It all started out with somepony she thought she defeated--twice-- coming in in the middle of the night.

After that whole thing with the coronation of her as princess of friendship, she's become more popular than ever. While she did learn to take everything in stride, and carefully keep her pride in check, another problem has came up. Suddenly ponies she has met or known have become very interested in her. Even to the point of ponies and creatures she thought she defeated for good showing up for cuddles! It appears that the friendship aspect of her princess title has been cranked up twenty-fold; right when she wanted nothing more than some time alone, relaxing with a good book.

Only one question remains: can she conquer this affect of the friendship magic coursing through everypony's veins, or will she cave under the pressure, and simply accept her fate as a living, breathing teddy bear?

Snuggle fic where I may or may not accept suggestions from commentators on the next chapter.

Diseased. How dare they call me diseased!? I am surely cleaner than them! They continually speak of my changelings as rabid, ravenous animals! How dare they call them diseased! How dare they call me a creature infected by a pestilence!

...How dare they be right. How dare they know so much about me in a single glance...

Note: This is at least partially experimental, so don't count on super-regular updates (like none of my other stories). Also, This might be flame bait, but I do not appreciate personal slander, people calling the characters in the story "bitches", "dicks", etc, or any sort of distasteful riffing hidden behind the excuse of "I'm not hating, I'm just trying to make him think".

Now has a sequel! Celestia Does Stuff in Ponyville While Other Things Happen Elsewhere

"Your Majesty!" "Your highness!" "My princess!" "My Sweet Goddess!"

These are all titles that Celestia has heard her little ponies call her. They hold her in the highest esteem, praising her for every little complement she gives them, and they look for her approval above all else.
Even her student Twilight treats her very highly, although that could be chalked up to a mother/daughter relationship. In fact, the only ones that don't treat her as a high and mighty, so-far-above-from-the-world-you-would-not-understand ruler were those not under her, and her sister.

Yes, everypony worships the very ground she treads upon.
And she is sick and tired of it.

With the help of her dear sister, Twilight and her friends, our beloved princess will seek out a way to put an end to the high level of praise that she has, Luna is jealous of, and Twilight is worried about receiving because of her status-- no matter how humble her subjects are to her.

The picture here seemed to get the premise of the story right. yes, sue me, I picked a picture to fit with the story, not a story for the picture. Please give the artist your full appreciation!

The princess has gone quiet. Ever since the nations began uniting under one flag, the princess has refused to see anypony, and nopony, not even Celestia's sister has seen heads or tails of the sun goddess.
She only wants to see her student.
Twilight ventures to the castle to see what exactly is the problem.

This whole thing was inspired by one little part in the cover picture. I don't know how many people agree with me, but she (Nightmare/Celestia) seems more concerned than anything else.

EDIT: I was planning on making this a one shot, but fate insists that I change that. No longer will this be a one shot, but a two-parter, I think. 5 comments. Holy shiznits, I must have done something right.
