Royal Romance

Twilight was giddy with excitement that Celestia wanted to see her. She was even more giddy that she wanted her to bring her friends with her. She knew that things were getting serious with her marefriend wanting everypony there. She said, "Come on Spike, we need to go tell my friends about this."

Spike replied, "Yes ma'am!"

Twilight decided they should go to Sugarcube Corner as they usually get together in the afternoons. When they got there, sure enough, were all five of her friends. She came in bouncing up and down with a huge smile on her face. Rarity asked, "Twilight, darling, whatever has you in such a good mood?"

Twilight levitated the letter over to Rarity and she read it before passing it on to everypony else. Rarity smiled and said, "You know Twilight, I have a feeling something very special is about to happen."

Twilight asked, "What do you think is about to happen?"

Rarity replied, "I don't want to ruin it for you, I want you to be surprised when Celestia meets with you over whatever this is."

Applejack herself was very curious as to what this was about. She asked, "So Twilight, when are we going up to Canterlot?"

Twilight replied, "Well when I had Spike reply to her I told her that we would be there tomorrow, but I really wish that we could just go up there now."

Her friends could tell that she was wanting to leave right away. Rarity said, "Twilight, I can tell that you want us to go now. I know you said that we would be up there tomorrow but perhaps if we get up there this evening, Celestia will be really happy."

Twilight replied, "I agree, let's get going."

They immediately headed over to the train station and caught the next train to Canterlot. While everypony was happy to be going to Canterlot, Twilight was ecstatic. They had seen Twilight excited before but she was bouncing around in the car more like Pinkie would, so they figured that she was simply excited yet they did not know the level of excitement that Twilight was feeling. While she did not say anything, Twilight had a feeling that Celestia was going to ask her the ultimate question, the question that would change both of their lives forever.

The train ride that seemed to take forever for Twilight ended forty minutes later. She along with her friends rushed off the train and headed up to the throne room. Twilight's look of pure joy changed to one of disappointment when she saw Luna sitting on the throne. Luna saw this and asked, "Twilight Sparkle, why dost thou have such a sad look on thy face?"

Twilight replied, "Well I was hoping to see Celestia."

Luna knew about the letter that Twilight had sent saying she would be there tomorrow. She replied, "Twilight, our sister was not expecting thou and thy friends to arrive until tomorrow morning so she went out shopping."

Twilight got a huge smile on her face as she had a feeling what Celestia was out shopping for. Luna could sense the energy radiating from Twilight she continued, "Twilight, we do not know what she went shopping for so we do not think thou should get thy hopes up too high."

Twilight could understand Luna's point but still couldn't stop smiling. Luna was smiling as well as deep down she knew what Celestia had went out for. She smiled at Twilight and her friends and said, "Come with us to the dining hall, thou must be most hungry."

Applejack replied, "Thank you your Majesty but shouldn't we wait for Celestia."

Luna put her wing up to her face as she knew Applejack made a good point. She replied, "Thank you dear Applejack, our sister would have been most upset had we started supper without her."

An hour later Celestia arrived back at the castle and headed to the throne room. She was surprised and happy to see Twilight and her friends up there. Her and Twilight ran up to one another and despite being in front of everypony else, they gave each other a passionate kiss without even thinking. Quickly they broke the kiss after realizing that everypony saw them. Twilight said, "I'm sorry Celestia, I was just so happy to see you I didn't even think about everypony seeing us."

Celestia smiled and replied, "It's alright Twilight, I'm guilty of the same thing and besides, everypony knows we love each other so it's not like this would be unexpected."

Luna pointed her wing towards the dining hall and said, "Now that our sister is home, we think that we should go and eat. We don't know about everypony else, but we are most hungry."

Everypony followed her to the dining hall anticipating a large meal, but would be disappointed at first as the two sisters had not anticipated so many guests, but before the end of the meal, there would be more than enough food for all.
