The Princess

So I woke up later once again, hoping all of this was just a stupid dream. I opened my eyes... and knew that it was not, as Princess Luna's face was directly in front of mine.

"Ah!" Slightly startled I backed away, hitting my head once again. "Ouch." That was my horn.

Oh yeah... I'm Princess Celestia. Dear god, what a sick joke. I just had to facepalm at the situation... OH WAIT, I don't have a palm, just a damn hoof!

"Are you alright sister? You've hit your head pretty hard a few times now." Princess Luna asked concerned.

She was right; my head was hurting like crazy. Not so because I've hit it, but more from all the questions I currently have. My brain was already working overtime due to all the randomness.

What exactly happened? I was playing Call of Duty and BOOM! Suddenly Discord in my face. Next thing you know, I'm in Canterlot in the body of basically the goddess of little colorful ponies.

Why would Discord do such a thing? Does he really think I'll just completely mess up this entire world? Nah, obviously I'm a more than capable leader. I'd be President of the USA if I wasn't so lazy, I'm certain!

Wait! I didn't just play Call of Duty before coming here. I played that other stupid game without snipers or shotguns as well. It was called... Amnesia right? BRILLIANT! I've just gotten the best idea ever.

"Oh goodness, what is going on? Where am I? Who are you?!" I said waving my hooves around dramatically. Might as well play stupid, ponies didn't seem so peaceful I thought. I mean... Luna was banished to the moon for a thousand years after all. And if the real Celestia was still around, she would kick my ass, I'm sure. I hoped she wasn't in my body back on Earth. Nah, that wouldn't make any sense since I was dragged through the monitor by Discord. I'm sure she'll show up eventually.

But I was determined to prove to Discord that I'm a more than capable leader! At least, that's if Princess Luna would buy that crappy lie I just told. I'm terrible at lying because I never felt the need for it.

"Oh Tia! You do not recognize me anymore? How awful!" Princess Luna answered still concerned.

Dafuq? That was rather easy. Guess I'm better at lying than I thought. "Ah yes! What is going on exactly?!" I asked dramatically once again.

"Ever since Discord escaped and assaulted you right here in Canterlot, you've been unconscious." Luna answered.

"Discord escaped?" Well duh.

Princess Luna nodded. "Yes. However, after that event he hasn't shown himself ever since. But I'm glad you're back on your hooves again, I'm sure your memory will return over time!"

Oh my god. I hope the real Celestia is alright.

"And you are?" I asked. Hay, I had to keep going with the lie should I not?!

But it apparently really saddened Luna that I did not 'recognize' her. Looking straight in to those sad big blue eyes made me realize I couldn't keep up this charade.

"Wait... You're Luna right?" I said sheepishly.

"Huzzah! You remember!" She said overjoyed. "And do you also know who you are?"

"Of course, I'm Princess Celestia, The Great and Powerful Ruler of Equestria!" Hay, I couldn't help myself. Unfortunately Celestia's voice just didn't work out for those lines. I then proudly tapped my crown, showing off the bling-bling I was currently wearing.

But apparently my tone didn't bother Princess Luna at all. If anything, she seemed happy. I guess she was really concerned about her sister, and is just glad to see her awake once again... I just really hope Luna doesn't find out that it's not actually her, but me! She'll toss me straight into the sun when that happens.

"I will leave you to rest for now sister, but prepare, for we will present you to the citizens of Canterlot later this day. Knowing that their princess is well will surely boost moral once again. It's been pretty down since Discord's escape." Princess Luna said to me, and left the room afterwards. Leaving me alone.

So I need to present myself to the civilians later? Dear god, I'm not that good with crowds of ponies... or ponies for that matter. But I guess it would make sense to make an appearance. Surely my presence alone will brighten up their spirits!

But I was pretty eager to try out these wings. I mean... what the hay? Flying is only like, the coolest thing ever.

I stoop up tall on all four hooves. Atop the enormous bed and spread my wings out as far as possible. They weren't that hard to move around once I got used to them. Flying will obviously be like a walk in the park for a professional like me, easy as that.

I then leaped up in the air and flapped them as fast as possible! Everything seemed to be going well until...

I crashed down exactly two seconds later. Apparently flying is harder than I thought it to be.

No problem, I´ll jump off a mountain later. That´s how penguins learn to fly right? It'll work out in the end.

But I still had a magical horn! Surely with this 'device' I could be capable of deploying powerful magic and possibly summoning or conjuring certain items. Yes... YES! All the magic!

So I prepared to do whatever my horn was capable off but came to a sudden realization. I have no idea how to use magic...

I guess I can go and ask Princess Luna. She seemed pretty oblivious to what was going on. Hopefully she'll buy this as well.

So I left the bedroom and ventured through the huge castle halls having no idea where to go to. It was literally filled with countless of Royal Guards who all pretended to be a statue or something, until I passed them at least. They all greeted me with a salute afterwards.

"Where is Luna?" I asked to none in particular. One of the Royal Guards immediately stepped forward to answer me. He creeped me out a bit to be honest.

"Your sister is currently in her own quarters your highness!" He said with a serious tone. He then pointed me towards it.

Have to say. I like the fact that I'm being acknowledged, even though it's not really me. Minor details right? Still a bit awkward though.

"Uh, thank you." I had no idea how to stay in character for such an event. Clearly I still need a lot of practice.

I proceeded walking further into the castle where the guard had pointed me to.

It started getting darker... and scarier. This was definitely Princess Luna's quarters.

But even in these circumstances I started getting distracted once again.

"Whoa dude..." I said silently as I stared in awe at my mane which was majestically flowing through the air in front of my face. The pretty bright colors was quite a sighting from up close. It's almost as if-

Hay what's that over there! Distracted once again I spotted a black small creature in the shadows slightly further. I approached it slowly, but it wasn't such a bright idea I thought as I got closer.

Bats... Countless of bats.

*SCREECH*

"Oh god! They're coming straight for me!" I panicked as the swarm of bats started attacking me. I frantically waved my hooves around desperately trying to protect myself. Wish I knew how to magic already.

But I couldn't do anything! By now the bats were all over me. Some even in my super colorful mane. I got scared and started screaming in panic. Damn bats! Who the hay keeps those disgusting creatures around.

"Halt!" A loud voice echoing throughout the entire castle ordered the bats to stop. It was Princess Luna, and she was frowning for some reason. But she was too late. There I was... Defeated, and defenseless on the ground.

"Why... Why would you order your bats to attack me?" I asked her as helpless as possible.

"They weren't attacking you Tia... They were just happy to see you again after being unconscious for so long." Princess Luna said facehooving.

Oh, that might make more sense actually yeah. I stoop up once again, and approached Luna. "I'm truly sorry sister!" I said. "Having my memories lost is extremely troublesome; I did not remember your lovely bats. Also, it appears that I have lost my ability to use magic." Let's hope she's buying it.

"Goodness your magic?! We have to fix this right away." Luna said shocked.

Looks like she's falling for it again. I guess it's not too strange since ponies are honest 99% of the time from what I can tell by the show.

"How exactly can't you use your magic sister? Please tell me more." Luna asked concerned once again.

"Well you see... I forgot how to use this thing here." I then tapped my magical horn.

"Ah, but it's easy to conjure magic sister. Just think of it as an extra hoof for levitation for example. You just need to clear your mind and focus all your magic within your horn."

"Okay..." I took a deep breath and prepared. Just focus right? I'll just try to vision myself lifting up this little stool right here. I closed my eyes and focused as hard as I could.

And slowly but surely the stool started moving. I remained calm on the outside, but on the inside I was as happy as a kid in a candy store. I'm doing magic! YAY!

But apparently I wasn't really good at it since the little stool was suddenly shattered into a million pieces. Dafuq!?

"Hmm. It appears you're still having difficulty controlling and suppressing your magic. I know a simple exercise for that!" Princess Luna had an idea. She flew into her room and came back a few seconds later holding a candle. She placed it slightly further in the hall.

"Try and focus your magic to create a small flame to light the candle now sister. When you can do this properly you'll be able to normally use your magic again. I'm certain!"

"Okay, that sounds simple enough." I was determined to get this done right.

"Ah, but it's harder than it might seem. Don't be discouraged if you can't get it done right away." Luna said preparing me.

Bitch please; I have a level 48 Warlock. Pretty sure I know what I'm doing.

I narrowed my eyes and prepared. How hard can it be, just to conjure a little stupid flame? Pfft, we'll find out soon enough. I focused all my magic into my horn! That's the best way I can explain it and formed an ember. I then proceeded to launch it towards the small candle.

This was a terrible idea.

The flames I managed to produce were FAR from stupid and harmless. They burned with the intensity of a thousand suns and were as high as the enormous halls we resided in. Also, everything was on fire now. Including the candle in my defense!

"Oh damn! I'm sorry!" I shouted.

But Princess Luna did not look worried. With the use of some spooky dark magic she managed to not extinguish the flames all around us, but completely 'delete' them. Pretty interesting.

"I think you should start with something smaller... Why don't you read up some books at the library?" Princess Luna said to me.

"Yeah... I think that's a better idea." I grinned sheepishly and left afterwards. Thank god Luna was able to get rid of the flames. Might've burned down the entire castle otherwise.

But I was pretty impressed. I had no idea Princess Celestia's magic was so powerful. I mean... I just summoned some enormous chaotic flames of doom without even trying. What am I capable of if I actually gave it some effort? Let's hope I don't go mad with power. Don't want to end up as a bad super-villain in the end. Just take it slow and one step at a time. Whatever it is I'm going to be doing.

I arrived at the library. I already knew where it was as I passed it before seeing Luna. Thank god it was empty. Didn't feel like meeting more ponies just yet.

It was a well-organized library. How did I know this? Because I was immediately able to find some books I was looking for even though I've never set hoof in a library my entire life.

"Magic for Dummies." Yeah, that'll work for now.

Blablabla. Twenty-five easy basic magic tricks. Blablabla. Wait... Why does this book look so familiar?

Hmm... That's right! I saw Twilight Sparkle work with this book in the Trixie episode. Then... It must be in here! Which number was it? Come on!!! Ahah! Number 25.

Fuck yeah! The best spell ever! I followed the instructions and did everything one step at a time. It literally took me like thirty minutes to complete this spell since magic was harder than it might seem to some.

But nothing happened... I wasn't gonna keep it, I swear, but it would still be nice to have a good number 25 on my face once again. Yep, a moustache. Like the one Spike had in said episode. Too bad it didn't work. Couldn't figure out why, I did everything the stupid book told me to. It must be outdated or something. Clearly I didn't do anything wrong.

I tossed away the book in disappointment and decided to call it a day. More magic tomorrow and perhaps I'll consider learning how to fly eventually. I just really need to figure out what's going to be happening from now on. I can't screw this up!

I proceeded to leave the library and head back to my bedroom. Sleep out the rest of the day, but was interrupted by a Royal Guard stopping me on the way.

"Princess! Your sister expects to meet you right away at the balcony." The Royal Guard told me.

"Uhh, okay. Thank you." I wondered what Luna would need me for right now.

Years of Call of Duty made me an expert on tracking things. I immediately found a path leading to said balcony. Really, it wasn't that hard to find. Just follow the army of Royal Guards.

Anyway, there I was reunited with Princess Luna once again. "What's going on?" I asked.

"Ah Tia. I'm glad you made it here this fast. I've prepared an audience with the civilians of Canterlot with you right now, just to let them know you're back on your hooves." She answered.

I peeked out the curtains to see what I would be facing.

Mother of god... There's like a hundred ponies over there! My brain is not yet ready for this. But it would make sense for my just to show my face for a bit. I don't have to say anything... just wave my hooves around a while and let them know their 'ruler' is alright.

I took a deep breath. I can do this, I'm sure. If I had to prove to Discord that I'm an excellent leader, now would be the time.

So I stepped through the curtains. Suddenly I felt a strange magical interference. Being a magical pony and all made be able to sense these things. But I shrugged it off and kept walking.

"Hello!" I waved around my hoof a bit. But suddenly every 'pony' went silent.

Dafuq? Is there something on my face?

"The horror!" A voice suddenly shouted from the crowd.

"Oh dear, that can't be good can it not?" Another snobby voice added.

Then the entire crowd started bursting into laughter. Why? I didn't understand a single thing of what was going on. I trotted back inside, feeling embarrassed of course. But I couldn't figure out why.

"Luna... Why are they laughing at me?" I asked the other Princess.

"Uhmm, Tia... You have a little something right there." She tapped her hoof right against my nose.

Oh shit. It's the number 25. Apparently the spell had a delayed effect or something. Guess the citizens thought it to be funny to laugh at their ruler with a giant moustache. Luna helped me to dispose of it again.

I thought the ponies of Equestria were nice... That they wouldn't judge somepony. But apparently I've been mistaken as I can judge from their actions right now.

How dare they laugh at me! Where do they get the nerve to make fun of me! Do they know who I am?

I'm... I'm... Hmm. Hmm. I started chuckling a bit.

I'm their ruler! They can't make fun of me, or I'll punish them. They will face the consequences if I'm ever being mocked.

Yes... I have that power now. If I want something, I can make it happen. Anything I want! And I'll only become more powerful than ever before when I'm able to properly control my magic!

"Muaha... MUAHAHAHAHAHA!" My chuckling slowly started turning into maniacal laughter.

"Huzzah! I'm glad you can see the fun side of all of this Tia!" Princess Luna then joined the laughter, once again completely oblivious to my currently unknown intentions.

And oh we laughed, in glorious harmony!

Soon... Yes, very soon!
