To Love a Princess

Twilight went around her bedroom, grabbing anything she needed for traveling and writing little notes everywhere for Spike. Sure, he can stay home alone for a couple days, but a lot has changed since she became a Princess, so now there is new stuff for him to do. She grabbed her suitcase with her aura and started sorting out everything and grabbing more bags until she heard a knock on her door. The noise startled her a little so she froze, but quickly replied to the noise.

"Come in! I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay!" A voice called back, she remembered the voice but couldn't remember from where. She quickly finished packing her clothes and grabbed the items and went down the stairs to see a mare who was her pen pal. Twilight still wanted the other Elements to meet her, for it was Blueberry Muffin.

"Blueberry? What are you doing here? I was just about to go to Canterlot to see you and the other Princesses. I have to take care of Luna, she has a stomach ache." Twilight explained as she grabbed more bags. "Did you let her have more muffins?" Twilight laughed.

"I'm afraid so, well, yes and no. I was baking more muffins for Derpy, because I was going to come to Ponyville to visit Derpy, and I left them on a tray to cool in the kitchen. Well, I had to use the restroom so I left the muffins next to the window to cool. It just so happened that Luna was walking by and ate the whole muffin batch while I went to use the restroom. Which was only about 5 minutes." She said to the alicorn, which made them both giggle.

"Well, that explains Luna. Why are you here if you don't have muffins to give to Derpy? I thought you had work?" Twilight asked her while she went to the kitchen to pack some traveling snacks.

"About that... Well, Princess Celestia wanted me to escort you. After you becoming a Princess, nopony could ever know what evil would want to harm you." She explained while helping Twilight finish packing the snacks and finish doing the dishes. "Oh, and did you find somepony yet?" She asked calmly, like there was nothing to it.

"Somepony for what, Blue?"

"For a date, silly! Please tell me you listened to my advice and went on at LEAST one date!" She exaggerated.

"You are so much like Rarity, I really have to make you guys meet each other." Twilight giggled at her. "And I don't have time for dating, being a Princess and all. Even before becoming one I barely had time. You know that, and I hope you remember it, too." As soon as the words left her lips, she heard crying from the balcony. She and Blueberry looked at each other with fear, and Twilight mouthed the words "follow me", and they quietly ran up to the balcony to see who was there, but they heard rustling before they reached the top of the stairs.

By the time they finally got there, there was nopony. They had just missed the pony, because there was wind everywhere and the leaves were coming off the trees.

"Whoever was crying, they had to be a pegasus." Blueberry told Twilight as they turned around to walk back inside the treehouse-library. "Because only way to get there without either of us knowing and leave that fast, had to be one.

"Unless it was Pinkie Pie, but why would she cry?" Twilight added as she looked behind her and looked at the wind still rustling from the trees.

"I bet the pegasus liked you." Blueberry giggled at Twilight while ignoring what Twilight had said, because she knew it had to be a pegasus, and nothing else.

"Doubt it. How would you ever think that?" Twilight asked her with her lip quivering a bit.

"Hello? They started crying as soon as you said that "I don't have time for dating, being a Princess and all.""

"Let's not think about it." The small Princess said as she waved her hoof. "We have other things I need to get done before we can leave." (But Twilight was blushing like mad.)

But that just made the royal cook giggle.

"Oh come on! You know you want to! Now tell me, any Pegasus that you know that have been acting strange, lately?"

"I really don't want to think about it Blue, and just to make you shush it, no. Nopony, I mean, no pegasi, have been acting, 'strange' lately." Twilight lied. Of course there had been one, but just not in that way.... Right? Rainbow was probably just nervous about what she had said before about 'eggheads', so she probably didn't like the thought of reading more books... Definitely that.

"Why did she have to become a Princess!? Being the Princess' personal student was bad enough, with her schedules and all. Now, a Princess? And she said it herself, she can't date anyone. That includes me! Why? Why did she have to break my heart?" Rainbow Dash cried to herself as she shoved her face into her favorite napping cloud.

"Twilight.. I mean, *all** Princesses... can't date anyways... Right? So, it wasn't just her! Yea! And I am dateable, so if Twilight wasn't a Princess, she would date me! Right? Yea! Do I have to stop her from being Princess? If so, I will do it! If it means she will date me then I will!*"

"This isn't fair!" Rainbow screamed into the cloud before crying herself to sleep.
