Twilight Sparkle liked to be neat. Her room was neat. She also blew up when somepony ruined the neatness. Twilight liked to think that she had OCD. Spike liked to tell her that it was anger problems.

Twilight Sparkle also liked to think that she was clever and carried out her research with the utmost neatness and carefulness possible. Everypony knew the fact was true. That said, the Alicorn used her magic for 82.67% of the research she conducted, and everypony knew magic was Twilight's strength.

Twilight Sparkle loved research. She couldn't go a day without doing some research, or she'd go mental.

That particular day, the newly crowned Princess was researching stars. Specifically, she was seeing what the biggest star in the universe was, and when it would blow up.
It worried Twilight that if she did find a star bigger than normal, it'd turn Equestria to dust. Stars, they were mean.

"Twilight, I still think you've gone wrong here," Spike grumbled, holding the 50m parchment in his hands. "Like, how the heck can a star be 864938 miles in diameter?"

"Anything is possible, Spike," Twilight mumbled, carefully inspecting the sheet of paper. "Hmm, the locations of where this humongous star is are vague, but it looks as if it's close to the sun."

Spike raised an eyebrow. "So does that mean that if this weirdo star explodes, the sun will, you know, die?"

"It appears so."

"Woah."

Silence filled the basement as Twilight squinted at the papers. She squinted closer. Was that...? No, it was impossible...but anything was impossible...she had to alert the
Princess at once!

The Alicorn got to her hooves, urgency in her eyes. "Spike, take a letter to Princess Celestia! The sun's going to explode!"

"Haha, your moon isn't on this game, but my sun is!"

"Sister, I think you're missing the point. Besides, the Minecraft studio said they're gonna add the moon to the next update," Luna pushed her controller to the right, narrowly missing a skeleton's arrow. "Argh! Why did you destroy our house?"

"Because it was small," Celestia pointed out. "And made out of stone."

Luna rolled her eyes and groaned. "Sometimes, sister, I wish I could slap-"

A parchment appeared out of nowhere and accidently smacked Celestia in the muzzle.

"-you in the face." Luna put a hoof over her muzzle, making a poor effort to restrain the fit of giggles threatening to spill out.

Celestia sighed and resisted the urge to roll her eyes at her sister. "Well, I'd better see what Twilight wants me to know about."

"Wait!" Luna immediately removed her hoof from her mouth and looked pleadingly at the white Alicorn heading towards the door. "Don't leave me!" Seeing that Celestia
had no intention of staying of staying behind, she gritted her teeth and frowned at her Minecraft game. "Now I know why Cadence told me that I should give up on teaching Tia how to play Minecraft."

Princess Celestia pulled the hood of her clothes closer around her head and fidgeted with the hair bobble that was holding an enormous amount of ethereal mane. She had tried putting her mane in a ponytail, but what the heck, Celestia's mane didn't become anymore manageable, so she had put it in a bun.

She was not pleased.

"I look like a freaking granny," Celestia muttered as she walked through the streets of Ponyville. "Who's one thousand years old."

The Princess didn't know any full transformation spells - only Changelings could master that art - else, she would have simply turned into some dentist of something. So Celestia could only borrow one of Luna's hoodies to hide her mane and transform her legs to an incredibly short height. They were very uncomfortable. And fat. Definitely fat.

"Ooh!" A pink blur whizzed past Celestia and circled her at a crazy speed. Pinkie Pie. Just looking at the pony made Celestia feel dizzy and sick.

She didn't have time for ponies who were high on caffeine. Neither did she have time for crazy pink lunatics that liked to party. Celestia had received an enormous amount of letters from ponies complaining that they couldn't sleep due to 'highly distracting noises from the crazy cupcake place.' Although she put on her 'nice' face in front of Pinkie, she was fuming inside. Did she know how much trouble Celestia had received from her? Did she?

’Nope,’ Celestia decided. ’Probably not.’

Celestia carried on walking, a grumpy expression on her face. God, Pinkie was annoying. How was Twilight her friend? Thank the lord that the other Elements weren't as unbearable as her. When would she go away? Celestia frowned and plodded on through the streets, receiving a few strange looks from other ponies. Heck. She couldn't blame them.

Twilight Sparkle trotted anxiously around the ground floor of her library. "Where is she, Spike? I told her to come at ten thirty AM, and," she looked up at the ticking clock. "It's three minutes past eleven!"

Spike sighed and set down the books he was carrying on the window sill. "Twi, take a chill pill."

"Take a chill pill?!" The Alicorn glared at Spike. "The Princess has never been late in the three thousand years she's lived!"

"I'm sure she's just-" Spike's voice trailed off as he looked out of the window. "Hey, Twi, you may wanna see this."

"What can be so important that it-" Twilight's voice trailed off as she looked out of the window. "Oh. Oh."

Princess Celestia fumed as she took off her hoodie. "I hate Ponyville. I hate Pinkie Pie. I hate pink. I hate pie," Then she stopped. "No. I still love pie. Just not pink pie."

Twilight sighed. She had seen her mentor in this state before and she hadn't liked it. "Would you like some tea, Princess?"

"Tea?" Celestia's eyes lit up. "Of course!" Then she stopped again. "Wait. It's not pink, is it?"

Twilight groaned into her hoof. This was going to be a long day.

"So, Twilight," Celestia smiled a little too widely at the uncomfortable purple Alicorn opposite her. "What was so important that you needed me to be in Ponyville?" She was still a little traumatised about the experience she had had with that pink...tyrant thing. No, cross that out. She was very traumatised. And embarassed.

If it was possible for Twilight's face to fall any further, it did. "Of course, Princess. But...you might not like...um...you know..."

"Twilight, you're a Princess as well. You can call me Celestia. And no, I don't know."

"...you might not like the results of my research..."

"Is it about pink ponies?" Celestia's eyes glittered.

"Nope," Twilight said quickly. "Nope, nope, nope! It's about the sun."

Celestia gasped. Would she...? Under all the tuition she had given her? Heck, she had trusted Twilight. She would have trusted her with her freaking life. The Alicorn shook her head sadly. "You want to take over the sun, don't you?"

Twilight gasped in unison with Celestia. “What?! Of course not!” She shook her head and stood up, swishing her tale restlessly from side to side. “I think you should come down to the basement.”

“I must say, Twilight,” Celestia smiled, looking around. “That your basement is very tidy, compared to others I have seen.”

Twilight smiled proudly, blushing profusely and mumbling something inaudible. She then shook her head again sadly, as if she were seeing the other Alicorn for the last time. “B-before I show you my research papers, I have to ask you, Pri- Celestia…” She looked up hesitantly. “Uh…is your life force connected to the life of the sun?”

Celestia looked at Twilight, bewildered. “Wherever did you get that thought from?”

“Because,” Twilight frowned. “The day you were born was when the sun appeared.”

“Oh.” ’I should really check that. It’s quite a worrying thought.’

“It’s also the rumour currently being spread around Ponyville,” Twilight added. “Rarity told me the spa ponies won’t shut up about it. But, Pri - I mean - Celestia, is that a yes or a no?”

“Um…” ’God, Twilight’s smarter than me.’ “…no…”

“Oh!” Twilight’s face creased into a happy and relieved smile. “It won’t be that bad, then!”

This was really starting to worry Celestia.

Author's Notes:

This hasn't gone through editing yet, so please excuse me. :3 I wrote this up because I felt guilty for deleting my old stories and having followers who didn't have anything to look at... I'm also out of practise at writing fiction at the moment, so again, excuse me. XD This is a silly little fic which I expect no favourites or likes from. But...if you do like this, an upvote and a fave would be nice. Pretty please?

Also, I'm aiming to make this a three-shot with small chapters and rather out-of-detail paragraphs. :3 The characters will be OOC plainly for the humour. Thanks, guys!
