Royal Romance

The two days passed all too quickly for Twilight and much too slow for Luna, who was ready for her to go back to Ponyville. As Twilight and Celestia stood out on the balcony facing Ponyville, Celestia could tell Twilight was nervous. She began to stroke her wing through Twilight's mane and said, "It is ok Twilight. Everything will be fine."

Twilight replied, "I'm not worried about what my new role in Ponyville will be so much as I am worried about Luna coming to lecture me or hurt me in the night. It just scares me about how she thinks I'm not worthy of being a princess."

Celestia pulled Twilight close and comforted her, "Don't worry about that Twilight. She knows better than to do anything to you. She knows you mean a lot to me. Now you better get home, I'm sure Spike and your friends are looking forward to seeing you again."

Celestia pulling Twilight close and telling her that she means a lot to her put Twilight in a dream state. She pulled Celestia very close to her and wished that moment would never end. Celestia pulled away and continued, "Twilight, are you ok? You better get going."

Twilight looked at Celestia with dreamy eyes and asked, "Can we see each other again soon?"

Celestia smiled, nodded her head yes and motioned with her wing to fly back to Ponyville. Twilight took off towards home. Given that she was relatively new to flying she was still a bit wobbly in the sky but being in a dreamy state her flying was only worse. When she finally got back to Ponyville she crashed into her balcony. Spike came running up to greet her and asked, "Twilight, are you ok?"

Twilight was laying there on her balcony with a dreamy smile on her face. Spike waved his hand in front of her face but got no response. He shouted, "SNAP OUT OF IT!"

This startled Twilight. Once she got out of her dreamy state Spike again asked, "Twilight, are you ok?"

Twilight replied, "Oh yeah, I'm ok Spike. I just have a lot of things on my mind."

Spike could tell something was not right with the newly crowned princess. He asked, "Are you sure about that Twilight. You appeared to be in a daze when you crashed onto the balcony."

Twilight replied, "Oh, well I'm just nervous about starting my new life as princess. I just don't want to let Celestia down."

Spike knew Twilight was lying. He began to say something when there was a knock on the door. When Twilight answered the door there were her five friends. Pinkie jumped on Twilight and shouted, "How's our super-duper awesome friend doing?"

Twilight replied, "Well I'm doing better seeing all of you."

Pinkie asked, "So Twilight, are you ready for your totally awesome party we have planned for you at Sugarcube Corner?"

Rainbow Dash sighed, "Pinkie, that was supposed to be a surprise."

Twilight yawned, "Could we do that later. I didn't get much sleep up in Canterlot and I just want to get some rest."

Applejack replied, "Well when y'all are ready just let us know."

Twilight closed the door and headed up to her bed. Within two minutes of hitting her bed Twilight was sound asleep. While she was sleeping Spike decided to clean the library for her as a surprise but he just couldn't help but listen when Twilight began talking in her sleep. "I love you Celestia, please can't I just stay with you forever? Please don't make me go back to Ponyville. I want it to be just us forever." Twilight then began to breathe harder and moaned, "Oh Celestia, I love you! Celestia! Celestia! Please don't stop. Celestiiiiiiiiia!"

When Spike heard her saying this in her sleep he was shocked and worried. He wondered if he should tell Twilight's friends or keep this to himself. Eventually he got back to cleaning the library but stopped every bit and continued to listen to Twilight talking and moaning in her sleep. He began to wrack his brain trying to figure out why she would be talking like that and moaning in her sleep. He thought to himself, "I'll ask Rarity, maybe she'll know." Once he finished cleaning the library he headed to The Carousel Boutique to get some answers.
