Previous Chapter Next ChapterWow! So many reviews! I feel so loved!
A short chapter, because of school workings and such, but a semi decent chapter, if anything. I hope you like...
This isn't happening. This isn't happening.
Twilight Sparkle flipped through her history book, looking desperately for an answer. "Come on…come on," she moaned, trying her hardest to no avail. "Is there anything on why the princesses had their first fight? Anything at all?"
"Hay, Twilight," said Spike, walking in on her. "Is something wrong? You don't look okay…"
"The princesses are fighting again, and I don't want there to be another fallout," said Twilight, opening up a random book. "Yes! I found something!"
In 3050 A.C ("What does that mean, Twi?" "After Celestia, you dummy!"), an argument between princesses Celestia and Luna occurred. The actual cause of the argument was over a pegasus filly named Sweetpea, who would go on to marry an Apple and help find Ponyville. Both princesses were in love with her, but only one could win. In the end, Luna was banished to the moon, where she would stay until released as Nightmare Moon, the deadly incarnate of her former self.
"I thought that they had a fight because Luna wanted eternal night," said Spike, biting into a hunk of unidentifiable gem. "Want some peridote?"
"They're fighting because of me?" whispered Twilight Sparkle, slumping over in her chair. "You've got to be kidding me."
Dear Rarity,
I'm sorry to sound rushed, but I have a problem that might include taking you all to Canterlot. I need to decide whether or not staying in Canterlot is worth it because of a personal issue. Please send somepony soon,
Twilight
Please, please, please, please, please, please don't let the pony who was sent be Pinkie Pie.
It wasn't like Twilight had anything against Pinkie. It was just that she was too…erratic to be of any help. She was random. Randomness wasn't going to help her get anywhere.
Luckily for her, Rarity wasn't stupid enough to send Pinkie, and the pony that stepped off the train was none other than Applejack. "Hay, AJ," said Twilight, embracing her. "I have a little problem."
"What kind of problem?" asked Applejack, following her up the steps to the palace. "You didn't say what kind in your letter."
"It's about the princesses," said Twilight, magicking them to her room and locking the door. "They…they like me."
"So?"
"They like like me."
"Oh," said AJ, sitting down on the bed. "I didn't know that they were filly-foolers."
"Me too," said Twilight. "I mean, what should I do? They were fighting in the hallways. I don't want to start a war or anything."
"You probably won't," said Applejack simply. "If anything, all you'll cause is a minor dispute. But…"
"But what?"
"Who are you going to choose?"
Twilight stared at her. "What do you mean?"
"Twilight, you have the ability to be with one of the princesses. If I were you…I might want to choose sides."
"But I like them both," said Twilight. "I don't really want a special somepony."
"Yeah, but then you'll get one and everything will change," said Applejack.
Princess Celestia came in a few days later. "Twilight?" she asked quietly. "I…I need to talk with you."
Twilight nodded; the dreaded conversation, finally here at last. "Yes, Princess?" she squeaked.
"I…I…I'm sorry for my behavior yesterday," said the princess, noble as ever. There was a scratch, though, tiny and pink on her ear, and it ruined the entire image of eloquence. "I hope you aren't too scarred from my actions…I just worry about the princess Luna's possible…um…attempts at corruption."
"What do you mean?" asked Twilight, regretting the question as soon as it slipped past her lips.
Princess Celestia seemed to struggle with this. "Luna has…done regrettable things in the past."
"Such as?"
"Nearly molested a filly out of passion."
"Oh."
"So, please remember to watch yourself around her."
"I…I will, princess."
Will I?
Any tips? Any requests? Should Big Mac randomly come out of nowhere and get paired with...shiver...Rainbow Dash? Or do you like Dashy gay?
And now for the vote...
Should Twilly end up with Molestia or Luna? or...somepony else?
Love you guys,
