I blinked, “Are you talking to me Twilight?”

Twilight flapped her wings to have the same altitude as Rainbow, “Yes! I am talking to you. You do know that impersonating an alicorn or a princess is treason right?”

I wondered how this had anything to do with anything she was talking about, “Yes, of course I know. Every pony knows that.”

Twilight said, “I should think so! Now, let me restate my words. WHY ARE YOU WEARING A HORN ON YOUR HEAD IN FRONT OF ALL OF THE PRINCESSES!” I looked down to see my friends, and the other three princesses looking at us with wonder, each with a different expression on their face. Princess Luna looked at me thoughtfully, Princess Celestia looked at me as if deciding whether to arrest me or not, and Princess Cadence was awestruck. Probably ‘cause I’m so awesome! Anyways, I mentally told myself, get back to reality.

Then, I realized that I had no idea what she was talking about, “Twilight? What are you talking about?” I was really confused and a little worried for Twilight’s mental health. She wasn’t cool and all, but did books finally mess up her brain? Probably not, but you would never know with Twi.

Rarity finally said, “Darling, have you looked into the mirror since you’ve gotten here?” What was there to see though? I mean, I barely brush my hair, never mind looking into the mirror and becoming addicted like Rarity here. The Princesses exchanged a look before Twilight floated a mirror so I could see my reflection. I was about the same size as before but I understood why my wings felt much different. They were more like Twilight’s now, with flexible wings that were easy to fight against wind resistance. B-but wing changes happen slowly! This shouldn’t be happening. Actually, I never saw wings like this, not even on my parents. Only the princesses. Okay, so Princess Luna granted me a better pair of wings. I should probably thank her later.

I was so distracted about my wings that I barely saw the rest of my reflection so, I decided to see just about how messy my mane was. Usually, Rarity didn’t comment subtlety about my mane, and never said anything in front of the Princesses before praises. I looked at a mirror to see a horn on the top of my head.

I chuckled, “Very funny Twilight. That fake image whatever do you want to call it looks really real, but there’s no way in Equestria that I have one. That was to get me back for the chocolate pudding prank, wasn’t it?” It had been a week since I covered her whole house, including her bathroom and her bed, with chocolate pudding. Twilight had been so engrossed with her reading, that she didn’t notice until she sat down.

Twilight flew around, “It’s called an illusion spell, Rainbow and I pinky promise that this isn’t an illusion.” She did the movements exactly, although flinching a bit when’s she almost stuck a hoof into her eye. Since Pinkie wasn’t reacting, I decided to believe Twilight. I blinked at my reflection before using a hoof to touch my forehead, and felt a thing on my head immediately, which I guessed was my horn. Twilight lowered the mirror after a few minutes, when I was staring at my own reflection. She flew down onto her spot and I followed in shock.

Princess Celestia said, “How did Rainbow manage to achieve Enlightment? Last time, it was my purposeful challenge for Twilight but this time, I didn’t lift a hoof to help. Luna? Cadence? Twilight? Did you guys help her?”

Princess Luna shook her head, “I assure you that I did not, although I found her in the enlightment space place, calling my name and hoping that it was a dream. Sister, you do know that we are not allow to help any pony become an alicorn since the alicorn rules states it. You are lucky to not lose your wings and become an unicorn when you helped Twilight, who was just going to reach it, either way.”

Twilight turned to Princess Celestia, “You did that for me?”

Princess Celestia nodded, “Yes, because I thought that you deserved it. Back to the topic now, Rainbow, what did you do to acheive it.”

I thought for a moment before saying, “Training with the Wonderbolts. Spitfire wanted me to do two Rainbooms and forced me to do three yesterday. I remembered being pushed to my maximum but I didn’t complain about it.” The Princesses said nothing before Princess Luna decided to speak up,

“The space must’ve decided that Rainbow was to be accepted and that’s she was fated to be a princess. She’ll be good at it and will find a purpose, just like Twilight and Candence have done.”

Princess Celestia nodded, “I agree. It must’ve had its reasons to make Rainbow an alicorn without us asking. Rainbow, you are going to have a coronation and officially become a princess.”

Being sick of ignored throughout the conversation, I said, “The space must’ve made a mistake. I didn’t do anything.”

“Yet the portal still judged you and worthy of an alicorn. Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy, please go back to your rooms in your palace that you had been shown earlier. The other princesses and I need to talk to Princess Rainbow.” Princess Rainbow? That was way too girly for me. Awesome Rainbow? Fine. Captain Rainbow Dash of the Wonderbolts? It sounded better. Princess Rainbow. Bleh. I watched as the others left, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they walked to their room.

Princess Celestia turned to me, “You are officially one of us.”

I was confused, again, “Us?”

“A princess. Which means that we are your unofficial sisters. That means I finally don’t need to hide my habits and be royal all the time. That goes the same for all the others. Luna, would you mind starting to make a throne for a Rainbow? I think that your decoration style goes better for Rainbow than mine.”

I begged, “Nothing girly Princess!” Luna smirked as she walked out. I had never seen Princess Luna smirk so I had no idea what that meant. I don’t think the others even saw Princess Luna smirk.

Princess Celestia chuckled, “You are a princess so you don’t need to call us ‘Princess’. As I said, we are informal in private since we don’t want any bad images if we do it in public.”

Twilight looked at me, “The number one thing is to never help another pony become an alicorn since space will do the worst thing that you fear. For example, they might take away the horn and your wings.” I gulped, silently vowing to never help a pony become an alicorn.

Princess Cadence looked at the clock, “It’s midnight and Shining is probably having trouble with Flurry. I better go. See you next time!” She teleported away to Celestia knows where.

Princess Celestia-no just Celestia said, “Twilight, I’m going to trust that the magic lessons and princess stuff are going to be taught by you. I should probably retire and get some rest.” That left Twilight and I looking at the spot she disappeared from.

Twilight yawned, “Since I am afraid that you probably don’t have control over your magic, you’re magic could become haywire when feeling any strong emotions. You’re sleeping at a different room than the other girls. We are going to sleep in sleeping bags in my rooms. Also, I’m going to teleport us so no pony else could see us.” Twilight touched me and I felt the weird sensation of turning my stomach in the washing machine a several dozen times. When we finally got there, I collapsed on the sleeping bag Twilight had made appear. I closed my eyes and slept easily, being exhausted for the day.

I woke up to the knock of a door before pushing Twilight awake. One sound of the situation got Twilight to push me in the bathroom and lock the door. I put my ear to the door to hear about what was going on. I heard the other door click open.

Twilight said politely, “Captain Spitfire.”

Spitfire probably bowed, “Princess Twilight Sparkle.”

“Do you mind telling me why you’re here?”

“I heard that Rainbow Dash is here. I need to talk to her about today’s show.”

“I’m sorry but she is currently using the bathroom and Princess Celestia told me to tell you to talk to her, if I see her.”

“Yes, Princess Twilight.” I heard the door close and the bathroom door unlock. I walked outside and Twilight nodded at me, confirming that Spitfire was gone.

Twilight sighed, “Luna says that you’re throne is done. I think that it’s a really bad style but you’re going to see it today. Anyways, I have two plates of food here, to not be seen by others while Celestia writes her speech.”

I picked up the plate of food, “Thanks Twilight.” I began to eat the food and it was really good. Like really really good. Much better than restaurants and other places. The servants probably thought that this was for Princess Twilight since they weren’t informed of my existence. Twilight teleported the empty dishes away, probably into the kitchen sink or something.

She opened up a drawer, “We are going to practice levitation, which is also known as telekinesis.” I stared of her, uncertain of either of the words she used.

Twilight took out a spoon and set it down on the floor before seeing my blank expression, “You know, to lift things up.” Oh, so the floaty thingy.”

Twilight continued, “When I was younger, I levitated objects by practicing to have the desire to lift it. If I want to lift the object, you think of it and it’ll levitate to you, hopefully. All unicorns, or alicorns in some cases, have different ways of it. For me, I think of logic. For Starlight, she concentrated on her emotions. Celestia concentrates on the sun and Luna with the moon. Candence is something with love. Maybe yours is something with a Sonic Rainboom?”

I rolled my eyes, “I don’t want to do a Sonic Rainboom just for myself to perform a spell. I mean, I’m awesome but that could get tiring.”

Twilight shook her head, “I mean feeling the emotions behind it. Why don’t you try?” I stared at the object, willing it to lift. I closed my eyes in stubbornness and even flew up, as if it would go with me. I peeked and saw that the spoon wasn’t still on the ground. I landed easily and thought about the excitement of a Sonic Rainboom. Instead of the spoon lifting up, I was off the ground, flying without thinking about it.

I shook my head, “It’s not working.”

“Think of the object then.”

I thought, ‘Spoon lift. Lift spoon. Spoon spoon float. Floaty levitate tele-whatever the name is spoon. Get up and give me twenty pushups for being lazy. Get up you fool!’ So what if my thoughts were a little different. Twilight had just said something about every unicorn having different things for magic.

I sighed, “I don’t think that way is mine.”

Twilight asked, “How do you fly?”

I blinked, “Twilight, you know how to fly. You unfurl your wings and you flap them.”

“I meant how do you command them to fly?”

“With my brain?” I had absolutely no idea where she was going for.

Twilight hoof palmed, “With your will.” I was close enough.

She ordered, “Now do that to the spoon.” I stared at it. I wanted it to get up and do something to impress Twilight and to move on from this spoon, which was weirdly decorated. The spoon refused to move at all.

Somepony knocked on the door, “It’s me, Luna.” Twilight unlocked the door and Luna entered quickly before closing it.

Luna sighed, “My sister has finally finished planning your coronation. Change into any suitable dress and let’s go.”

I blinked, “I don’t own dresses besides the one from years ago.”

“WHAT! The coronation starts is 10 minutes.”

Author's Notes:

My goal is 2000+ words per chapter (besides the first when I was rushing a bit to publish), so updates probably wouldn’t be daily.
