I've been waiting for you

I've been waiting for you

Twilight awoke still spooning Fluttershy, who was still asleep as far as she could tell. But as she opened one sleepy eye, she could see Celestia and Luna standing by the window. Without any fanfare, they were cycling the sun and the moon to bring forth the new day. She wondered if the courtesy call by the Canterlot Guards was even necessary, but it all did seem to be part of 'being the royals', as Luna like to put it.

Celestia apparently noticed that Twilight was awake, and turned to her to say quietly, "Good morning, my faithful student. Good morning, my sweet love."

"Good morning, teacher," she softly answered, "and my own sweet love as well."

Luna turned to address her as she spoke, "And we are proud of thy royal demeanor that you displayed yesterday. It surely felt as if Filthy Rich has learned to respect your authority."

"All I have to do is get punch drunk before every event," sighed Twilight.

"You shall master the royal voice and the royal attitude in time regardless of your level of sobriety. we can assure you as much."

"And yet I taught you how to let go and allow the citizens to appreciate you even when they are... celebrating Nightmare Moon."

"Yes, we have not forgotten that lesson."

"I hate to wake up Fluttershy when she looks so peaceful, but I'm sure it would upset her more for her to think that no one is looking after her animals," she said softly as she began to stir the shy Pegasus with her hooves, "Rise and shine, Fluttershy. You have animals who need you."

Fluttershy yawned as she awoke, and said quietly, "Goodness, is it morning already? It hardly seems like a fell asleep... Oh my...."

"Is something wrong?"

"I... wasn't expecting to wake up... being held by you..."

"Does that bother you?"

"Oh... no... it doesn't... I just hope I didn't.... bother you... or anything."

"You could never bother me... well almost never bother me... and I would surely tell you if you were. But now it's time to get you back home to tend to your charges."

"Oh goodness," she said nearly whimpering, "I hope they aren't mad that I'm so late."

"Perhaps I can save you some time by just teleporting with you over to your home?" suggested Twilight.

"If that wouldn't..."

"I would not offer the service is it bothered me in any way."

"That's very kind of you."

"I shall return shortly," said Twilight as she glanced over at Luna and Celestia.

"We understand," said Luna curtly.

Twlight closed her eyes and flash teleported the two of them from her own bed right over Fluttershy's bed, not even bothering to disentangle themselves first.

"Twilight?"

"Yes?" replied the Princess.

"I didn't do... anything... too... uh... embarrassing last night... did I?"

"Oh certainly not," she replied quickly, "Nothing that good friends can't do together."

"I'm glad," replied Fluttershy, "I was feeling odd when I... uh... you know... that little thing... we did..."

"While we were... tipsy?"

"Yes, while we were tipsy."

"If there was Pinkie Pie cake on your face even now, I would surely think nothing about... oh wait, there is still some frosting on your... uh..." said Twilight before she leaned in to lick something off the back of one of Fluttershy's ears.

Fluttershy's cheeks turned red.

"See?" she said as she softly smiled, "Nothing wrong with that at all. We share the bond and responsibilities of the Elements of Harmony. It is our duty and responsibility to remain close as such good friends."

"Thank you."

"Now remember that even as a Princess of the Realm, I shall always have time for my friends."

"I'll remember that," she replied softly as she climbed out of bed.

"Is there anything you wish to speak of before I go back?"

"Oh no," she replied as she reached for the doorknob, "I've already taken up too much of your time as it is."

"Alright," answered Twilight as her horn started to glow, "Just remember I am here for you." Then she flash teleported back to her own bed. It seemed that Luna and Celestia had already gone downstairs, so she followed the path down the stairs herself.

"It has been so long since you made breakfast for us, big sister," she could hear Luna saying from the kitchen, "We wish the staff cook was as good as you are." The scent of hot cereal, toast with jam, and flavored coffee wafted to Twilight's nose, and it was making her feel hungry.

"Well, this is a special occasion of sorts," replied Celestia, "So I believe I can make an exception." She paused before she added, "And I think Princess Twilight is about to join us."

"Good morning," said Twilight as she wandered into the kitchen, "Have either of you seen Spike? I don't think I saw him in his..."

"I'm here," said Spike as he followed her, "I've just been cleaning and shelving books as Luna asked me to."

She turned so that Spike could hug her neck as she replied, "That's great, Spike. I hope falling down the stairs last night didn't hurt anything?"

"Oh, there's just a few lampshades that need to be replaced," said Spike offclaw.

"Well, you know where I keep the emergency bit fund," she replied.

Spike nodded as he said, "I'm sure everything damaged last night will be replaced by tomorrow."

"Come sit and eat with us," said Celestia, "I have saved some warm food for both you and Spike."

"Princess Celestia can cook?!" asked Spike in awe, "That's so AWESOME!"

"I am an alicorn of many many talents," replied Celestia as she turned her attention back to making toast.

"But a number of her talents go unused," sighed Luna, "as it would not seem royal to use them when others wish to serve us so openly and eagerly."

"There is that."

Twilight floated her warm plate of food over to herself as she dug in. "So what sort of plans are there for today?"

"We shall be looking at potential sites to construct the mansion," she replied as she spread preserves onto the toast.

There was a knock at the door.

"Spike," said Twilight, "That should be Derpy with today's mail. Go see what she has for us, would you?"

"Of course!" replied Spike as she rushed off for the door.

"You're practically his mother," said Celestia softly.

"Well... yes... I am his primary caregiver," replied Twilight awkwardly.

"We do not see an issue with that," said Luna.

"It might be different when Spike brings home his first girlfriend for her approval," said Celestia with a wink.

"I never really thought about that," said Twilight.

A silence fell over them as they continued to eat or cook.

"TWILIGHT!" said Spike, "YOU GOT MAIL!"

"Sign for whatever you have to and bring it here!" she called back.

"Okay!"

They waited for Spike to come back. There was a large package as well as some letters and sealed scrolls.

"I wonder if that's the new book I ordered," mused Twilight out loud.

Spike brought the packages, letters and scrolls over to her and plopped them down before her.

"Well, it doesn't look like a book," she replied as she her horn glowed. The package began to unwrap itself before her. "It's odd that there's no return address," she commented, "I wonder who it could be from?"

Luna leaned over enough to see for herself.

"What da what?!" asked Twilight as she looked in dismay, "I surely did not order this!"

"What is it?" asked Celestia as she glanced over her shoulder.

"It's a... well, I think it's a... Oh my, I think it's a..."

"We think it is a strap-on stallion's member," said Luna evenly, "and a considerably large one at that. It appears to be made to be inserted into the mare's vagina as well as the one who's receiving the... attention."

"Twilight!" said Celestia, "I didn't know you had it in you!"

"I swear I didn't order this!" replied Twilight defensively as she blushed horribly.

Celestia chuckled under her breath.

"What's so funny?"

"Perhaps one of your friends... is... ah... trying to tell you something?"

"Actually, this smells more like something Discord would do," replied Twilight with a frown.

Celestia looked as she said, "My goodness, that is unrealistically large."

"I'm not even sure that Big Macintosh is that well hung," commented Twilight before she blushed even more.

"Oh, so you've thought about how well he's built," chided Celestia, "have you?"

"NO NO NO!" cried Twilight, "I have no idea where... I mean why I... that is to say..." Her voice faded to nothing.

"Well I wouldn't shoo him from my bed for getting it dirty," sighed Celestia as she returned to cooking.

"But he is a commoner and a laborer," replied Luna, "We should not associate with the... uh..."

"No matter how rugged, handsome, and studly they might be?" giggled Celestia.

"That is not a matter that royals should consider, big sister," she scolded, "A royal cannot marry a commoner without giving up their claim to royalty first!"

"That does seem a bit... arbitrary..."

"It is there for a reason!"

"Besides, one can have a... dalliance on the side... without any marital commitments."

"We cannot believe that you speak so... so..."

"Realistically?"

"So scandalously, big sister! Surely such an affair would soil your reputation!"

"I suppose," replied Celestia, "but I wonder if dearest Twilight managed to sample his gentlestallion ways while she could?'

"CELESTIA!" cried Luna and Twilight as one.

She giggled as she replied, "Ah, you two can be so sensitive at times! It's almost too easy to pull your legs!"

Luna simply huffed as Twilight pleaded, "You're my first love! There is no other, I promise!"

Celestia looked back as she sighed, "And I am so honored that you think of me like that." She smirked as she added, "But I would never look down on you for... partaking of a stallion. After all, a royal duty is to provide heirs."

Twilight and Luna both blushed horribly at the thought of themselves alone with Big Macintosh.

"Too easy," she sighed under her breath.
