The Princess Wakes.

Celestia sat on the floor, bored and flipping through books. She had been bored all day, no royal appointments, nothing to do. She was just looking through spell books, trying to come across something fun to use. Looking down, the alicorn spotted a prank book, or what she thought was a prank book! The spell was labeled "Turn a pony into an alicorn!" Celestia chuckled. Horn glowing, she studied the page, nodding. Turning one of Twilights friends into an alicorn would be funny, the spell would wear off after an hour or two. But it'd certainly be a sight to see! Horn glowing more, the spell was cast, though not on the pony she had aimed it at.

Colgate rolled over as she woke, groaning softly. She wanted to sleep in longer, being a dentist was really fun, but she just wanted to sleep in a little more! The alarm clock beeped loudly, until she used her magic to shut it off. Grumbling, Colgate groggily got out of her bed. She felt...Different. Taller, stronger. "I must be going crazy...I'm the same old mare I've always been.." Sleepily walking out of her room, the unicorn turned into her bathroom, heading over to the sink. Turning on the cold water, she floated her toothbrush under it, put toothpaste on it, and began brushing her teeth, chuckling a little bit. She felt...Really different. She felt like she was in another ponies body for an odd reason. What was wrong with her? It was a whole new feeling that was really starting to bug her. Shrugging it off once more, Colgate brushed for two minutes, spitting into the sink and washing off her toothbrush. Lifting up her head, she stared into the mirror smiling widely to check her teeth. Wait...What was that on each of her sides?! Turning her head Colgate shrieked, her new wings opened, she shot up into the air, hitting her head on the ceiling. She fell onto the ground, closing her eyes tightly, rubbing them with both hooves. It was a dream, all a dream! Or she was losing it! You didn't just sprout wings out of nowhere! How could she, Colgate, a dentist from pony ville become an alicorn! That...Wasn't even possible! It just didn't...How...This..TWILIGHT! Twilight Sparkle would know what to do! She was really good with things like this!

Turning off the running water, Colgate caught her breath, trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Maybe it was a hallucination? The pain in her head and the open wings on her back proved her wrong immediately. This was real life. She had grown wings, and become an alicorn! She would have to skip work today! Walking in with a pair of wings..."Oh hey everypony, yeah I just became an alicorn. No big deal. Go back to work everypony!" Yeah that'd go well...She had to get to Twilight, if there was anypony who'd know what to do it was her. No way was she going to get on a train and go all the way to canterlot! Well...Flying was an option but these wings felt so odd and weird on her back. Nope. Flying wasn't going to work. Colgate would have to walk across town, avoid everypony who was up, and get to Twilights.

The most biggest challenge, was the one pony who would most likely find out.

Pinkie Pie.

She found a cap in her house, quickly throwing it on. This would help alot!

Colgate adjusted the cape on her back, the wings could be seen a little bit. At least it covered them up a tiny bit! All she had to do was keep moving, keep moving, not get seen, not talk to anypony. Her goal was that library. It was her only hope of getting an answer to her problem. Opening the door to her house very, very slowly, she tip toed out, gently closing it behind her. The street was empty right now. That was good. Maybe Pinkie Pie was sleeping. That mare was so unpredictable and could pop out of nowhere, with her not up it was almost guaranteed she'd be getting across town to the library. Walking down the street, more speed walking, she heard...

Giggling...Followed by bouncing. Coming from behind her. She turned around, and nothing was there. Continuing on, every few seconds she'd hear it, as if it were getting closer...Breaking off into a jog, Colgate rushed forward, trying to get away from the laughing. When she looked behind her again, a pink mare could be seen, all the way at the end of the street. Pinkie Pie.

And she was looking...Right. Back. At. Her.

Colgate gulped, seeing the pink pony wave, starting to bounce again, coming straight for her. She turned, starting to jog again, sweating nervously, soon going into a run. Why was Pinkie up? What did she want from her? When she looked behind her again, fear crept up her back. The...Mare was gone. What? A sigh left her mouth, followed by a shriek as Pinkies face appeared infront of hers.

"Hiya Colgate!"

She looked around nervously, backing up a bit. Pinkie was so close, she'd start asking about the cape! "O-Oh Uhm...Hi Pinkie Pie...Do you need something?"

"Yeaah...I got a question for you!"

Oh no here it comes...Colgate gulped again "W-What is that Pinkie?" She'd ask about the cape, my wings will be discovered! She'll start asking about it. Then she'll tell everypony! Oh gosh! I can't have everypony knowing I'm an alicorn! This is all a huge mistake! I don't want to be an alicorn of dentistry!

"Can I come in for a cheekup later today? It's been a while and I haven't brushed in a few days annnnddd I had alot of cake at that party last week. Were you there? Oh it was so fun!"

Colgate wiped the sweat off of her forehead. Phew! "Yeah uh sure you can. And err...Yeah that party was really nice Pinkie...Now if you'll excuse me I reaaalllyy gotta go.."

Pinkie giggled and nodded turning and bouncing "Colgate you should take off the cape! It really doesn't suit you!"

Colgate nearly fainted, the biggest obstacle was out of her way. At least Pinkie Pie hadn't started to ask why she was wearing the cape in the first place! Wiping a hoof over her face Colgate sighed happily. Finally,she was free to go! This day couldn't get any worse!

Colgate sneaked cross ponyville, safe and sound, for once having luck! She bumped into no pony, Pinkie couldn't be seen again! All was well! Except for well, the sun was just rising, ponies were still sleeping except for few. And...Twilight had all her windows shut and the door locked. What should she do? Knock on the door? She'd end up waking up some other pony or something! No pony could see her! A door opened across the street, a stallion stepped out. "Hey Colgate! Hey!"

Author's Note

Truth be told to you all, the pinkie part was inspiration from the movie Jaws! :P
With the Pinkie Part, I was hearing the jaws theme song in my head lol.

Getting to Twilight.

Colgate froze, starting to shake. Forget it! She started pounding on Twilights door, the stallion waved and called her name again, getting closer. She kept pounding her hoof on the door, tackling the purple pony when she opened it. Slamming the door, she locked, panting heavily "TWILIGHT!!" She yelled, a little crazy right now. She just wanted her life back! Becoming a princess would be so awkward! What would everypony think? They'd start asking how she became one and think she knew how to make alicorns! The purple alicorn got up to her feet, rubbing her head, fully awake now. "Colgate? What're you doing up at this hour? You don't have work today."

Colgate's eye twitched as she remembered.

Today was sunday. Her day off.

She stomped a hoof. She could've just slept in and none of this would've happened. Her horn was a little bigger too now. She opened up her wings "Twilight!! I'm an alicorn!"

A gasp erupted from Twilight, who rubbed her eyes in dis-belief. "W-What?! This isn't scientifically possible! O-Only...That..I..How did this happen? A pony can't just wake up an ali-"

Colgate butted in "I did Twilight! I woke up with wings too! I became an Alicorn! Help me! You have to have a book on this!"

The two mares didn't notice the princes sitting in the same room, using a spell to cloak herself. She was holding in her laughs. The spell hadn't gone to the pony she had aimed it at, but this was equally as funny! Though for some reason the spell was lasting a little longer then usual. It should have ended a few minutes ago. But, well, as long as the joke kept going on! Celestia thought maybe a hint would help...A book with the sun on it fell from the bookshelf, causing Twilight to jump away from inspecting Colgates wings.

"Celestia! Yes! She'll know what to do! Hold on Colgate we're going to figure this out!"

Colgate raised a hoof as Twilight rushed upstairs, waking up a sleeping dragon. The dentist was scared now. Not even Twilight knew what to do?! She didn't want to make a big thing out of this! Calling in Celestia...Oh gosh...She fell to the ground, looking to the right in confusion as a scroll popped out of nowhere, falling onto the ground. "Uhm Twilight! Your scroll didn't go to Celestia!"

The princess had totally forgotten that the scrolls went to her, literally! No point in hiding it any longer...

The spell faded, and there stood a laughing Celestia, tears rolling down her face from how hard she had laughed. Twilight Sparkle came running down the stairs "Princess! What're you doing in my house?!" That could wait though, they had bigger things to discuss! " Uh never mind that! We need your help! Colgate had turned into an alicorn!"

Celestia was having a hard time keeping in her laughing. They had no idea that it was her doing! She decided to let them know though, her fun was over..."It was me...Here I'll take the wings away.." Celestia walked past a jaw dropped Twilight, over to a angry Colgate "You turned me into an alicorn for a joke! I...Do...My morning has been crazy because of you! This wasn't funny for me!!" Celestia chuckled "Please, stand still and let me do the spell." The mare huffed but nodded, standing still. A yellow light surrounded her, quickly fading. "Phew! Thanks! I'll be on my way then!"

There was...Only a itsy bitty problem though. The wings hadn't gone away. Colgate had grown. She was the size of Cadence now, horn longer, wings bigger, taller. The only thing separating her from Celestia and Luna right now, look wise, was the lack of flowing mane and size. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!" She narrowed her eyes, Celestia was getting a joke out of this! Colgate was furious with her princess right now!

Celestia took a step back, a look of confusion on her face. "W-What...I...The spell..How did it...Not work!?"

Colgate looked over her new body "W-Why...This isn't funny any more take the spell off!" The princess was as confused as her. Anger surged through Colgate. That stupid lying orincess!

"I can't!"

"WHY!?"

"I...Don't know how.. This.. Something like this has never really happened before..."

Colgate huffed, looking over her body. What had Celestia done to her? The princess of dentistry? It sounded like a joke! Maybe if it happened one more time! The spell had to work!

"Do it again Celestia! The spell has to work the second time! You...Must've gotten it wrong or something!"
Celestia shook her head "Colgate...We shouldn't do that again. I'd have to study this."

"Now! Please! You're the princess who raises the sun! You're super powerful and everything! Please try the spell once more!"

The alicorn gave a nod, lowering her head, horn glowing in two layers of magic. A bright light surrounded Colgate for half a minute, and Celestia gasped at what stood infront of her. Colgate was just about an inch taller than Luna, her horn the same size too. Colgate mane however did not flow elegantly behind her, staying it's usual self.

"Did it work? Am...I me again?"

Twilight stood opened mouth, eyes wide. A little jealous. Colgate was probably more powerful then her! This just didn't seem right though! Celestia's spell was making Colgate grow in size, not make the alicorn spell go away. "Celestia...What're you doing to her? This isn't funny...Colgate doesn't want this, please take off the spell."
"It isn't me Twilight! I do not know why my spells are doing this to her, I know I won't be doing it again. I could look into this with Luna, but it could take a bit. This has never happened before. The spell should've worn off a bit ago, not make her grow when I try to take it away. My dear student, stay here with Colgate. Keep her inside and I will return to you once I find out how to get her back to her normal unicorn form." She bowed a little to her student, glancing over at the other alicorn infront of her. "We will get back to you soon, expect a response within the next two days Twilight. And as for you Colgate. Stay inside. We can't risk anypony seeing that you randomly turned into an alicorn because of a spell gone wrong." Celestia turned and walked out of the library, leaving the two mares staring at eachother. Colgate looked around nervously, feeling odd in this form. She was so big, she could look down at Twilight. The wings felt so strange on her. "So...Uhm...Twilight...Did you brush your teeth today?"
Twilight face hoofed "If Celestia just made a princess that's going to make sure everypony brushes their teeth...Ugh.."
Colgate nodded, looking around the room, taking a deep breath. It was a little awkward, Twilight was reading through a few books, leaving her siting there in the middle of the room doing nothing. "Books...Uhm...You...Have alot of them.."
The purple alicorn nodded, still flipping through a few books, trying to see if she could find anything about this. "Colgate have you gotten into anything lately? Gone into the everfree or anything?"
She shook her head. "Nope. Not lately."
A grumble was heard from Twi, she set down one book, another being floated up with her magic. "Ah...No...Can't be that..Mayb...No No that wouldn't work..." She was mumbling lightly, flipping through six or seven different books at once.
"Twilight? Uhm..."
"Colgate please be quiet. Sorry...I'm trying to find out a way to reverse this spell. Celestia won't get back for a day or two so maybe I can find something in one of the books I have. There's food in the kitchen, books everywhere, bed upstairs if you want to sleep. Though watch out for spike please."
Colgate nodded, understanding. She wanted to get back to her normal size and race as soon as possible, so she'd let Twilight do her thing.
A book would be nice, at least it'd give her something to do until a Twilight found out what to do or she got tired. Looking around, Colgate floated out a random book, ending up with "A history of Equestria" She shrugged and opened it up, starting to read the story.
The silence in the room was broken around an hour later, twilight coughing lightly, setting down her books. "Well..Nope. There's no accounts of this ever happening and no ways to reverse this spell...I'm sorry but you'll be stuck here in that form until Celestia and Luna find out how to make you normal again."
Colgate sighed an nodded, wishing this could all be a dream. What if no pony could find a spell to make her normal and she was an Alicorn forever?

Author's Note

XD. Lol. Well, sorry if there's any mistakes or anything I'll get to them soon!
Maybe there's a even bigger joke brewing...Ya never know...

Some number of days later..

Six days earlier

Two days. Two days it took for Colgate to pass the brutal lessons of flying. Twilight had been teaching her to help pass the time and help Colgate control her wings. Even after they finished there was no reply. The hours had begun to drag on, and finally, finally, four days later Princess Celestia and Princess Luna finally got back to her. Four days of sitting inside and being bored out of her mind, reading, and brushing.

It was the end of the week, the day almost over now. Twilight had left the house, she'd been gone all day after Colgate proposed they have a contest to see who could brush the longest. She was severely disappointed when she left, leaving her alone yet again. Colgate yawned as she lay on her back staring up at the ceiling, books littered around her. She had become somewhat of a bookworm being trapped inside so long. The day had been dully dragging on, time passed so slow. Colgate just wished Twilight would come home it was so much more fun when there was actually another pony she could communicate with! She was doing some tricks with her horn, yawning softly. Rolling onto her stomach and getting up to her feet, Colgate shot into the air as there was a loud knock on the door that snapped her from her lazy dazed state, rendering her fully awake. Who'd be knocking that loud at this hour?! Why, if she wasn't tired she'd march out there and make him or her brush!

Touching back down to the ground she gulped as she approached the door, jumping back as it swung open, the two princess's of Equestria walked in. Colgate shook and bowed, excitement ran though her. It was about time she was going to be turned back to a normal unicorn! Though being an Alicorn wasn't half bad, the wings were nice and she was capable of tons of new spells! But it would be nice to return to her normal life, back to her job. She couldn't just abandon her workplace, they'd be dead without her! Heck she owned the place! There was no pony in Ponyville and probably Equestria wide that was as talented as she was in dentistry!

Colgate stood up from her bowing. "Well did you two get it?! How do you turn me back!?" She asked impatiently, really wanting to get back to her daily life. Twilights "company" would be missed too, but she felt a little sad the mare hadn't wanted to compete in her brushing contest. It was Celestias younger sister, Luna who first spoke.

"Yes, we have. While flipping through the books of old, we discovered that there is a way thou can return to normal pony form. Thou must travel to the edge of the desert, far, far away. There, a mystical oasis that you bathe in will fade the spell. But, you must go alone. There is.. A flower. When you bathe, and eat this flower, you should change. It cures many many things, it's petals are very useful in curing sickness. Sadly I do not know where it is located. It might not even be there."

Colgate a jaw dropped. Now, since Celestia had messed up, she had to travel across a desert, by herself?! She blinked in disbelief, but when Luna repeated it, a look of seriousness on her face Colgate knew that this wasn't a joke and they meant it! The Alicorn shook her head, no! She couldn't do this! She wasn't the type of pony you sent alone into a desert to do this! But... It was the only way. The only way to return to normal. "You're sure these isn't another way? That I can't have a spell used? Or or or! I could stay an Alicorn and just not go on a mad journey through a desert!"

Luna shrugged. "Does thou wish to stay an Alicorn? And work as a dentist? No offense to thee, but you are a mere dentist. You do not have the strengths of an Alicorn, you posses the wings, no flowing mane, but... Thou has to understand this is for the best. Unless of course, thou wishes to train under sister for a few weeks to get you prepared. Along with that would come a royal announcement for ponies to learn of your new title Colgate."

Colgate thought hard. Now, being a princess of teeth seemed great! A princess to remind them all to brush and floss, to show everypony of Equestria they had to take care of their teeth! Business would boom for dentistry, ponies everywhere would love her for showing them the greatness of good teeth! Well hopefully. Plus it'd drum up tons of business for her old work place! She could be like Twilight! Her choice was made quickly. "I'd like to train, to become an alicorn."

Current time

Colgates week had been quick. The rest of the week had flown by, she was drunk with the power that would come. It would be great showing everypony she wasn't just a simple old dentist. No pony in Ponyville took brushing seriously and having a princess who was... Well the princess of dentistry and all, joke as it may seem, would probably help out with getting everypony to brush. Every pony would love brushing! Dentistry would be as important as the sun and moon! Her silly dream of making ponies everywhere nearly worship brushing clouded her normal thought, if she was herself she'd never be here! Here, as in standing in the gardens behind canterlot castle, so early the sun hadn't risen yet. Colgate shivered as the wind blew at her, the moons was slowly setting down, Celestia Would raise her mighty warm sun soon, and she'd be glad for that! The night was great, but Colgate preferred being warmed by the sun! A blinding flash spread across the nation, the sun peaking out, casting the few first streams of light across the lands.

Took it off hold. About time right? Been slacking off, so expect another chapter soon. Gonna start working on this story much more.

Edit: New chapter should be coming out tomorrow.
A big big Thanks to crowscrow!

First Morning.

Time for training!

The words she never wanted to hear again. Colgates training couldn't have gone worse, the first day so far was a disaster! Celestia was attempting so show her how to levitate heavy objects, such as three ponies at a time, carriages. She had said that every alicorn could at least do this, and even Twilight who was smaller then her could. Yet here she was, sweat beading down her forehead, three layers of magic coating her horn as she tried to lift a carriage.

It was a few inches off the ground, it was taking everything she had in her! Colgate huffed, exhaustion pouring through her; dentists weren't meant to be doing this! Celestia was going way to hard! With a painful gasp the alicorns magic faded, the carriage falling to the ground. Only two hours into training and she had been laughed at by Luna, five times actually. The princess of the night didn't consider her alicorn material and said she'd never do it. On top of that, Celestia kept giving looks of displeasure and filled with annoyance that she couldn't even do a simple thing. She was trying her hardest though! It was hard going from opening doors, levitating tools and brushes, to full on carriages!

Legs shaking, Colgate couldn't stand anymore. She collapsed, body heaving, a horrid headache from the use of magic. She heard Celestia walking over hearing yet another long, long sigh.

"Alright... You did.. Er.. Good... Now you go rest up. Training starts tomorrow at the same time. You're room is the one next to mine. Just a spare bedroom, it has a bathroom along with a bed, a chest for your things, and a nightstand. It will be yours until we make changes to the castle to fit another alicorn. We don't have many rooms available." Celestia explained, turning away from her.

Colgate groaned. A spare bedroom?! What next?! No toothpaste! Oh she was going to get back at Luna and Celestia for getting back at her! They'd see! They couldn't laugh at her and push her too hard! They'd come crying to her once she takes their toothpaste! Then they'd pay!

It took a few minutes to gather her strength, enough to heave herself off the cool grass. Her new body was strange to her. The flowing mane and tail were weird, a misty white and blue. She liked watching it, but it bothered her sometimes. The wings were the worst, how pegasi managed to sleep with these things was a mystery to her. Every night it was uncomfortable laying so they didn't pop up or get in her way. The long horn was a little weird too. Along with the large body, long legs, it was all new still. Even after having this body for a bit, training with the wings, it was still... New. It wasn't easy getting accustomed to a brand new alicorn body!

Weakly walking on wobbly legs, Colgate made her way inside the castle. A gasp left her mouth at the sight. She had only been her once, for the play Twilight and her friends had starred in about the founding of Equestria, but without the crowd of ponies, it looked so much different. Beautiful, so much better then her old house in Ponyville. If she were Twilight, she'd just have all her friends move here and live her! It was stunning! Though everypony often said that small towns were better then big crowded cities full of rich ponies. Ponies in Ponyville said that. Colgate could agree with them... The rich ponies weren't exactly the friendliest, and they were sorta snobby. Maybe she'd ask Berry Punch or Carrot Top over.

Berry Punch seemed like a good choice, Colgate had always liked her, quite a bit actually. Having some company would be nice, it was going to be boring around here. Luna slept during the day and after their training Celestia would be busy. She needed some hobbies... Back in ponyville she had her friends close by, a job, a friendly, great town. Here, she felt alone. The only friend she had here maybe was Celestia. Luna just seemed to not like her for some reason.

Colgate looked around, remembering what Celestia had said earlier about where her room was. She had said it once the two of them had met after Celestia had raised the sun.

"Alright Colgate, to get to your room you just follow these directions. Once you enter the castle, take a...."

Her memory was jumbled, she couldn't remember any more. Stupid! Stupid Stupid Stupid! She should've been paying attention! There weren't any Royal Guard around at the moment, they must be eating breakfast or something. That left her alone, Celestia who knows where, and Luna sleeping in her room. Oh how she would die for a map right now! This place was huge! There were tons of hallways, doors, her first time in the castle and she had no guard or some pony to help her!

Seeing a hallway leading somewhere, the mare walked down it, exhaustion still filled her, she wanted to jump on a bed, curl up under the blankets regardless of how uncomfortable she was and sleep for days. No disturbances, just sleep, peaceful, lovely sleep.

Heading up the stairs at the end of the hallway, Colgate saw two doors. Ah! She had made it! Room to the left was her room! Happily opening up the door and heading in, the light outside was met with a pitch black dark, Colgate couldn't even see her hooves in this! The floor had a large crescent moon on it, a strange faint white light glowed from it. Odd decoration for a spare room... She didn't mind though. It'd have a bed and that's what mattered right now. She couldn't see if there was one though, so she started walking around slowly trying to find it.Making her way around tiredly, Colgate found a bed! A bed! She sighed happily, crawling up into the fluffy bed. Resting her head on one of the pillows, she pulled the blanket up over herself, not aware she might be in the wrong room...

"Colgate.."

Next Chapter coming tomorrow! Poor Colgate...
Putting other things on hold, going to be focusing on this story ^^

Chapter 5

Colgate nearly leapt out of her skin as Luna spoke her name, but she just kept her eyes tight and stayed where she was, pretending to be asleep. She didn't want to get into a fight or anything, all she wanted was sleep. Celestia had gone easy on her today but tomorrow she said she was free all day, which meant vigorous training through out the day. She planned on spending today sleeping and resting. "Luna... J.. Just let me sleep.." Colgate mumbled. In response, she got an angry huff; hearing Luna move on the bed turning her back to her.

"Alright Colgate. Tomorrow though if you do this again I won't be so forgiving. Sleep well."

Colgate was glad that Luna was actually sharing her bed! She was still angry at her for laughing at her earlier though. Closing her eyes once more she fell asleep soon. There was much to do later. First off, she had to get Berrypunch over here; otherwise it'd just be her. The castle was still new and a little boring, having a friend around would be great!

Colgate trotted through Ponyville, a happy smile on her face. She was back to her normal self, though her form was vauge; as were the surroundings around her. As she continued her walk down the eerily empty streets of Ponyville, a purplish figure could be made out coming towards her. She instantly recognized it. Berrypunch! She went forward fast, waving. "Hey Berry!"

"Hey Colgate! How're you?"

"Oh I'm great Berry! It's so good to see you!" Colgate hugged the mare, pulling her close and breathing in her soft scent. A hint of cider rolled off of her. She held her close for a few seconds before pulling away. "It feels like it's been forev-!" Her sentence was cut off from Berrypunch leaning in, planting a soft kiss. Colgate went to wrap her front legs around her before the image began to blur, becoming wavy. She saw Berry fade away. No! Just a few more moments!

Awaking came from a hoof poking her shoulder impatiently, over and over again. It ceased when she groaned and stirred, stretching and blinking open her eyes. "Colgate. Wake up. Thou cannot sleep away what little time is left in the day." The voice of Luna made Colgate groan again. "Just some more sleep..."

"No, doesn't thou wish to go get the mare from your dreams?"

She sat up, looking at Luna. "You mean Berrypunch? How'd you know I dreamt of her?!"

"We... We... We watched your dream out of curiosity. Just to see what the new Alicorn dreams about. Now we have to go get something to eat. If you'd like head to Ponyville, Celestia wanted us to get to know eachother better tonight, but thou can go visit this Berrypunch if thout'd like."

Colgate saw Luna get off of her bed, exiting the room. She would've loved to go get to know Luna, she'd always been mysterious to her. But she had to admit it and go for what she really wanted. All she hoped is that becoming an Alicorn wouldn't ruin anything.

Because she loved Berrypunch, and she couldn't deny it.

~A few hours later.

After stealing Luna's toothpaste, grabbing a salad to eat, brushing her teeth four times, and packing a cape, Colgate finally decided she'd be going to Ponyville then. Most likely now Berrypunch would be at the bar, so at least she didn't have to deal with trying to find her! The only problem was Celestia had wanted to keep her a secret for now. She had wanted to make up a lie as to why she had become an Alicorn; if anypony found out they could become an Alicorn permanently by using a simple spell there'd be major chaos.

Getting to Ponyville wasn't even a problem either. All she did was ask Luna how to get there, and she called these vicious looking bat-looking ponies called her Lunar guard to fly her there. That, that, was not fun in the slightest. The chariot ride was bumpy and she almost fell out a few times. It was long, boring, the Lunar Guard didn't talk to her either. They were kinda cool to look at though, as she had never seen one before. Their armor was decent and they looked.. More cute and soft then dangerous ponies ready to attack a criminal.

So finally, finally after around an dreadful, what seemed to never to end hour, she arrived in Ponyville on wobby legs. Well, more the side of Ponyville. The chariot touched down where no pony would see or hear it just as she had ordered, being seen could lead to all of Ponyville thinking the princess was coming. Well.. Luna.

It was almost time for the moon to be raised, the last lights of sunlight could barely be seen. Her shadow hung many feet away from her, Colgates new form cast a long shadow. The lantern from the street lamp threw a soft yellow light, helping her see as she looked around for where she was. Well, luck was on her side this time! The bar was literally right at the end of the street, and it was empty of ponies.

She folded her wings and putting on the cape, it hid her wings perfectly. Now all she needed was no breeze and not to do anything to make the cape fall off or start blowing; she'd be golden then. Walking down the street Colgate smiled gleefully. It was so good to be home! Her homesickness made her long for Ponyville every second she was in Canterlot, and now she was back! This was where she wanted to be every day, to live out her life! Colgate wanted to be like Twilight Sparkle! That mare had it good, she got to live in Ponyville and be an Alicorn! That seemed like a dream to Colgate right now! Once everypony knew of her, and Celestia gave the lie she was moving right back to Ponyville! Hopefully with Berry. The two of them had always been great friends, but she had always had more developed feelings for her. Maybe if Berry spent time with her in Canterlot they could possibly become something more!

Heading down towards the bar, Colgate could hear the murmurs and laughs from inside, the voice of Berry asking for another drink made her grin. Pushing open the door, she casually made her way over to where the mare was sitting, sitting herself down right next to her.

"Hey Berry! I need to talk to you... Meet me outside please?"

"Wha.. *Hic* Oh hey Colgy... Wait can I.. G-Get this drink first?"

"No come on Berry! Pleeassee? For me?" Colgate asked, nearly jumping happily like a filly when she said yes, sluggishly getting up to her feet. "I promise you'll have all the drinks you can get, just follow me." She lead intoxicated Berry a bit away from Ponyville, making sure no pony would see them or hear them. The mare saw her paying more attention, more focused. Clearly she wasn't extremely drunk! That was good for her.

"Yessh Colgy? Why's we... A-All the way out here?" She slurred, plopping herself down once Colgate sat down.

"We have to talk."

"'Bout?"

Colgate took a deep breath. "It's been uh. A very difficult time for me... There's so much I want to say to you.. Berry.. I brought you out here with something that could change our lives." She leaned back and pulled off the cape, her large blue wings extending to their new full length;

Chapter 6

"Alright Colgate. Tomorrow though if you do this again I won't be so forgiving. Sleep well."

"Hey Colgate! How're you?"

"No, doesn't thou wish to go get the mare from your dreams?"

She sat up, looking at Luna. "You mean Berrypunch? How'd you know I dreamt of her?!"

Because she loved Berrypunch, and she couldn't deny it.

~A few hours later.

"Hey Berry! I need to talk to you... Meet me outside please?"

"Wha.. *Hic* Oh hey Colgy... Wait can I.. G-Get this drink first?"

"Yessh Colgy? Why's we... A-All the way out here?" She slurred, plopping herself down once Colgate sat down.

"We have to talk."

"'Bout?"

Colgate took a deep breath, hundreds of bad situations running through her mind. But this had to come out, she had set her mind to it! Before she had a chance to say anything, Colgate pushed forward, turning her dreams into a reality. Colgate had been dreaming of this moment for years now. Their lips met. She felt her heart beating rapidly, her heart almost bursting from joy. Happiness exploded inside of her as her first kiss was born. Stars bursted inside of her. The taste of alcohol could be tasted, mixing with the hot taste of mint. She loved it even more. The kiss was heavenly, unreal, too good to be true! But it was true! Wrapping her front hooves around the mare Colgate pulled her close, closing her eyes. Berry's tongue moved clumsily into her mouth, and Colgates danced with it. She blushed darker and kept the kiss going for quite a while, not wanting this blissful moment to ever, ever end.

The kiss. Oh Colgate never wanted it to end. The sweet taste of mint and hot taste of alcohol was quite nice. She softly slid her tongue inside of Berry's, falling onto the ground with the drunk mare when she stumbled and fell, pulling Colgate with her, who didn't break the kiss. She blushed and broke the kiss as she felt Berries hooves rubbing at her flank and cutie marks, clearly about to go somewhere else. Colgate shivered as Berry began to massage her rump, rubbing at her soft flanks. She snapped out of the daze after giving a soft moan. The alicorn blushed and got up to her hooves slowly, pulling Berry up with her, which was a little hard considering her drunken state. She looked disappointed she didn't get anything but didn't object as Colgate helped her up to her feet.

Just as Colgate was about to ask her to come to the castle, the mare she loved slumped forward and passed out cold. "Berry.. Well.. I hope you don't mind this change.." Colgate gritted her teeth as she used her magic to pick up BerryPunch, keeping her a few inches off the ground and really straining herself to lift such a heavy weight, though her one training session did help out a little! Colgate was still a little sore but her nap had helped out quite a bit in giving her some strength. Getting Berry onto the chariot, she wondered what Celestia and Luna would be saying to her when she explained they were well now... Dating. Colgate shuddered at the thought and decided to keep it quiet and not risk anything, especially with Princess Luna. "Back to the castle please." The chariot soon was taking off towards the castle. The castle had a special... Runway for the chariot the alicorns use when heading out on it. It was small and a little hidden, right next to the royal gardens.

The trip was a little better with Berry, though the mare was passed out sprawled beneath her. Colgate poked at her a few times but she was out cold. She'd defiantly have to help Berrypunch get over drinking every night. She'd let her drink, but she didn't want to have to drag her all the way across the castle every night! Tapping her cheek one last time, and getting nothing but a grunt and no awakening, Colgate sighed and sat down, feeling a twang of loneliness as she rested her head on the side of the chariot and gazed upon the land, coated in darkness save for where the moonlight lit up.

"Princess.. Princess wake up."

Colgate grumbled as a strong hoof shook her she poked at her, a gruff voice pulling her out of the sleep she'd fallen into over the ride. "Hmn? Oh.. We are here.."

"Yes. We brought the mare to your room to save you the trouble. Have a safe night." The bat pony guard bowed a little then walked off. Well, at least now she didn't have to carry Berry up to her room. At least she knew where it was now, stepping into Luna's bed again was something she was not wanting to do again. Stretching and waking herself up more, Colgate yawned and shook her head, closing her muzzle and walking through the empty castle to her room. Her hooves clicked on the ground as she did so. The new size or herself was taking a little getting used to. The castle was empty at nights, there seemed to be no guards and no sounds, it was dark, seemingly abandoned. Colgate pushed open the door to her room, Berry laying peacefully on her bed, blankets pulled up over her. A smile crept across her lips and Colgage sighed happily. It felt good to be alone, just the two of them. They'd had sleep over a lot, on some rare occasions she had drank with Berry and stayed at her place. They.. Had kissed before... And that had lead to a very... Memorable night. It was very blurry though, that had happened a long time ago after a night of drinking in her birthday for Berry.

The love for her burned deep inside of her, and finally Colgate had her love. But she was also an Alicorn now, which had lots of responsibility. Taking off the cape she'd forgotten about, Colgate slipped into the bed, crawling infront of berry. She wrapped her front legs around her, burying her face into her warm neck, nuzzling her fur. Berry smelled of sweet berries, alcohol, and a blur of other scents, and it soothed Colgate as she yawned softly, drifting into sleep slowly, wrapped in Berrys sweet embrace.

Colgate woke before the sun rose, though it was due soon no doubt. She was still cuddling and nuzzled into Berrys neck, the warm blanket pulled up almost over her. Berrys warm fur was fluffy and a little unkempt. Colgate twirled a hoof through her fur,keeping her eyes closed and just enjoying being so very close to her. She could've laid there for hours with the mare but eventually stirred and she heard a soft groan as Berrypunch stretched and woke with a yawn. Colgate felt her wince a little and rub her head. "Nhh? Colgy? Huh? Where am I?"

Colgate blinked open her eyes slowly, stretching too and yawning loudly. "Canterlot Castle.. Remember? I explained this all to you last night. Mhn.. You know your really comfy berry.."

"Wait.. Huh? You mean.. That dream.. Us.. What happened to you... Is true?" Colgate watched Berry glance over her and once she saw her wings it confirmed it wasn't just a dream. She seemed... Rather calm for taking this news. She was dating an Alicorn who was basically her best friend. No screams, gasps, she seemed very calm... "Yeah.. It's all true.. The dating, the princess thing, all of it. You... Aren't surprised?"

"Hah. Not really I mean, you know I've always liked you, and believe me I know you like me. It's kinda obvious..." Berry smirked and gave her a little nuzzle. "Hey, I can live with this."

Colgate chuckled lightly and returned the nuzzle with a smile. "Good... I'm glad you aren't mad or anything." She whispered softly into her ear.

"Of course I wouldn't be mad Berry, That was the best sleep I had in ages.." Berry whispered back, shaking her head. "I mean Colgate." Colgate smiled and laughed quietly. The mare shifted a little in her hold, leaning forward softly biting her ear, tugging it lightly, moving to lightly kiss her head, creating a shiver and a darker blush. Colgate was about to say something when Berrypunch kissed her muzzle, then pulling her into a deep, loving kiss. Berrypunch pulled her closer, running a hoof down her back, it was comforting to be this close to her, legs wrapped around eachother, keeping eachother close.
