That mare drives me up the wall I swear.

Sorry forget about that remark, anyway this is a journal I'm starting today, Celestia said it would be good to keep a record of my life from now on. I asked why now, apparently she forgot to tell me this before. I guess I should start out with who I am.

My name is BlueSky, I have an abnormal life, but I'm not all that special. I'm a Pegasus so I can fly, but that's no big deal. I'm Celestia's personal assistant and live in a guest room at the Canterlot castle...okay so maybe I am a little on the special side...

If you’re wondering how I became the personal assistant to the goddess of our world and the single most powerful being in Equestria. Well its starts a few hundred years ago.

Apparently an ancestor of mine was a very good friend of Celestia’s and Luna’s even though she was a normal mortal. She was said to be a very strong mare and fought to protect both princesses. Since then my family has had a large part in the princess’s royal guard, a few of them are distant relatives of mine actually.

But why an assistant and not a guard you ask? Well that started with my great grandfather. After his rather early retirement from the royal guard, a terrible wound making him blind in one eye, he came to Celestia with a heavy and blank heart. He had nothing but the royal army, he had no family that would help him and all of his money had went to the war effort during the time. So Celestia gave him something to spend his time on. She was rather busy at the time, a war going on and all, so she gave him the task of going through all of her missed and unfinished work.

It sounds terrible but it came out for the better, my great grandfather took the job in stride, he did a lot of paperwork and foresaw a lot of projects. He was the force behind Celestia that kept her kingdom from crumbling from within, he and the many assistants he had of course. He helped make more money for the war effort, sped up plans that were beginning to lag and was there when Celestia needed a comrade in her times of mortality.

Needless to say this turned into something of a family job, my father and grandmother both followed after my great grandfather. And as you can tell, I did as well.

Now I guess I’ll explain a bit about myself, I have two very unique features. My left ear and right foreleg both have something like a white star-like pattern to them and I’m a little tall for a stallion. I heard my father was just a hoof shorter than the princess herself, if I make my ears stand straight while next to her I reach her jawline.

I have a blue coat and black mane, it’s styled something like a feather, thus starting many childish nicknames, and my tail follows the same trend as my mane. I have my own cutie mark as well, and no it’s not paper and a feather or something, it’s a wrench and pencil in a dark blue ‘X’. Why? I love to write and fix or make things, I still do in my spare time but not as much as I’d like to. Don’t get me wrong I love my job and working with Celestia is a reward in its own right, to some, but I gave up a lot to come work for Celestia.

Another question to be answered I suppose, why am I working for her if I have something else I’d rather be doing? That’s a story for another time altogether.

My dear sister will force him into an early grave at this rate. I might give him a vacation somewhere nice, maybe Haywaii, I hear it’s nice this time of year, I might go with him. Today has been a rather enjoyable one, being awoken by Sky’s shouting always gives me a chuckle, and to see him so angry because sister had left without telling him. Sometimes I wonder if she does it on purpose.

The court today was rather dull, but today was yet another day that Sky has shown why he is the assistant to Tia. He calmed down those obnoxious royals with three sheets of paper, I could have done it with a single look but he is doing his best I think.

Lunch was absolutely the best of the day, Tia and I were eating when Sky came in looking abnormally calm. He walked over to my sister and asked if she had completed the financial report. She gave him one the best smirks she could and answer yes with confidence in her voice, then he put two pieces of paper on the table. Her confidence died upon reading the papers, Sky pulled Tia by the wing out of the dining hall and to their work place. Upon inspecting the paper, I swear I wasn’t sneaking a peak, I saw that my dear sister in her rush to finish her evening work so that she would have some free time, had mixed to financial report for a harvest report. I could not help but laugh as I realized they would have to spend the day recounting the averages of both reports.

Tia and Sky have always had a very strange companionship, my sister bothers Sky and keeps him on his hooves and Sky keeps her on an even schedule that leaves her room to rest after raising and lowering the sun. Though Sky does complain quite a lot, I have never once seen him stop or give up on his work, and my sister, well she doesn’t ever whine to anyone but me and a few of the royal guards, and of course Sky himself. But she always completes her work, whether if she is messing with Sky or reading a chapter of her favorite book she always finds time to finish her work.

I’m reminded of when I asked my sister why she doesn’t just speed through the work like I know she could, she gave me a very funny answer, ‘You’ll understand when you see BlueSky upset at me for moving too slow, he has a habit of squinting when he’s mad. He always gives me such animated responses it makes it worth the lecture afterwards.’

Sky and Tia are like partners in crime at times as well now that I think of it, she’s the frontal assault and he tunes things from behind the scenes to help them play out the way she wants.

It’s time to raise the moon, I hope to write another entry before morning.

There was no need to pull me away from dinner was there. Sometimes he’s so mean, well…did he did go and get me a fresh plate, and made some of his cookies for us to eat as we worked. He also made me that delicious tea…oh I can’t stand how kind he is, if he was meaner then I’d hate him but at least I could be mad.

Anyway we finish up rather early today, we were lucky he caught my mistake when he did, otherwise we’d be behind by a week at least. He looked happy to spend some time just chatting like we do when we finish working, he’s always so animated and seems to change expressions in and instant so it’s refreshing to just sit around and talk.

He told me today that his sister failed one of her tests and their mother gave her a mouthful, we both agreed that she simply wanted her to do her best. It’s so strange how similar we think on such things, I’ve found myself looking at him as a completely different person when he first arrived then how he is now.

Oh my…I remembered something bad, he’ll be mad if he finds out I’m thinking about his father, he told me to not feel bad and that crying wouldn’t help but I just can’t help it.

Time to let the sun set for the day, I’m also expecting Sky tonight he said he wanted to have a moonlit picnic with me for what I did for his birthday. I’m excited to see what he thinks up!
