Crazy Celestia

It is now later in the day

You take your walk down to the war-room

As you get close, you notice a bit of a crowd gathered

You're a bit more early this time

You see a bunch of the generals and commanders standing around, with Celestia at the door

"Sorry everyone, the keys went missing. I already have somepony fetching the spares."

After she finishes speaking, Celestia notices you and smiles, nodding her head slightly

You smile back, she must have totally forgiven you

A pony standing nearby seems to notice Celestia's smile and nod, and he turns towards you

You look at him, and he doesn't look very familiar, though he is wearing royal armor

He jumps forward with his powerful equine legs, and then pulls a knife out from the neck of his armor

He starts to slash wildly left and right, shouting "DIE DIE DIE DIE"

You scream and jump back, trying to protect yourself

The guards mobilize almost instantly, both of them descend on the attacked

But a white blur knocks them both out of the way

Celestia smashes into the attacked and starts to stomp with her hooves, her face filled with a horrible expression of bloodlust

Celestia is pounding the attacker into a paste

Over and over again, she smashes his form

Eventually he cries out and goes limb, the weapon knocked from his teeth, but she doesn't stop

He is helpless and defeated on the floor

She steps back, her perfect white coat now stained with blood on parts, and her horn begins to glow

The light and energy coming off of it is so intense, you have to back away

You know if she uses it on him, he will be obliterated

Suddenly, a voice calls out

"Sister! Stop!"

Celestia only glances towards Luna, who was now trotting towards them

"Luna! This assassin tried to kill anonymous; he must be brought down!"

Luna runs up to her and pleads with her

"No sister! You must let him live! We can only find out who he works for if you leave him alive!"

Celestia grits her teeth, but finally she steps back and her magic cancels out, she looks around and spreads her wings out, and she backs up to you

One of her wings is around you, protecting you

You notice Celestia is hyperventilating, she is far more distressed then you've ever seen her.

Celestia barks some more orders

"Shining Armor! Put up your barrier spell, now!"

He looks surprised, but nods and runs over to the nearest window

Celestia also orders all guards stationed at all entrances, and all guards being watched by all other guards

She then looks down at you

"Anon, let's go."

The way she spoke was so unnerving, how it was full of so much emotion

You know you were just attacked but that really shook her to her core

She starts to walk, her wing guiding you around the castle.

At one point during your walk, a butler approaches Celestia and Celestia growls at him, her horn growing brightly

He apologizes and gets the fuck out of there

You are worried for the Princess, you were the one attacked but she's more freaked out about it then you were!

She takes you to a courtyard outside the castle

You wonder what she is planning

She reaches her shoulder down

"Hop on."

Your eyes go wide in shock, did she seriously just say-

"JUMP ON MY BACK ANON! PLEASE!"

That really gets you moving

You jump on her back, she grunts from your weight, you wrap your hands around her long neck

You're not much a horse-rider, but it's even more jarring when she takes off

She flies up in the air, you get dizzy as you see the ground get far away

As you gain altitude, You hear a loud magic noise and the pink shield covers Canterlot.

Soon, Celestia lands up at the balcony to her room

Celestia allows you to dismount, and she then shoos you inside of her private quarters before shutting the door to the balcony and locking it

She turns and her horn lights up, igniting the fireplaces around the room

She starts to breath normally again, her wings coming down and her head coming down

She's calming down, that's good

"Sit down Anon, relax."

She's the one telling you to relax

You sit down, and she very quickly regains her calm demeanor

Still, it was unexpected, all things considered

Celestia watches the doors and such

She walks to the bedroom door and opens it

"Anon, go inside and sleep in my bed. I'll keep watch."

You nod, you know better then to protest right now

You go inside and lay down, your whole body shivering, and hope you can just get some sleep

Celestia doesn't disturb your sleep other then poking her head in once or twice every hour

You eventually manage to fall asleep

You wake up to the noise of arguing

You get up and you instantly know who it is

You lean up against the door and listen

It was Luna and Celestia

You hear Luna speaking first

"Sister, you must raise the sun! It has been three hours too long! This cannot last."

"No! I cannot leave Anon alone!"

"But it's just for a moment, I will watch him as you go and raise the sun, and then you can come back and-"

"No! You might be a spy!"

"Tia! I am your Sister!"

"No! I won't let you near Anon!"

You hear the sounds of a scuffle

You open the door

Celestia and Luna are fighting

You try to get them to stop

But they don't

After a few moments, Luna stands over her defeated sister

"Celestia! Get a hold of yourself!"

She sobs, and her horn begins to glow

"If you won't let me be with Anon, then nobody will!"

Suddenly, the windows get brighter and brighter

You can see the shape of the sun outside of the window getting bigger and stronger

Soon, it is blinding

You feel the most intense heat

Everything is so bright

You feel a sharp pain in your side

You feel down in your sleep

You open your eyes to see that the spot on the floor next to your bed was in direct sunlight, and it was blinding you

You shake yourself awake

What a crazy fucking dream

You realize that you fell asleep before the afternoon meeting today

The memory of what happened at lunch is still in your mind

That dream felt very real though, best just to be forget about it.

You soon get up and dressed, and you open your door

You see the messenger walking up at that exact moment

He is surprised, but is also pleased

"Right on time today, Anonymous."

you smile and nod, following him down the hallway

You still feel half-asleep, but you try to wake up for the meeting and maybe pay attention

As you see the entrance to the room, you notice the same group of people outside

Celestia announces that the keys were lost, and she would have them shortly

She notices you and smiles, nodding

You smile back

oh god, everything is so familiar

You even see the strange, unfamiliar guy

He looks at you

but he doesn't attack or anything, he just looks away

That was strange

Soon, the keys arrive and the door is opened, and you all enter the war-room

You all take your seats, with you still by Celestia's side

You exhale and concentrate, hoping not to look like a fool today

Everyone gets to talking, today they are reporting some news from the front about how the first bit of fighting has finally started and about where to defend

You start to notice something on the maps and diagrams, and an idea pops into your head

But you don't want to say anything, at least not yet

You don't want to embarrass yourself again

After a few minutes, Princess Celestia seems to be noticed you and your concentration

"Anonymous, do you have something on your mind?"

You look up at her, and to the crowd

The General scoffs

"Are you kidding, your majesty? Why-"

She raises a hoof to silence him

He shuts up, but not without a little huff of anger

"Hush, let's hear Anon speak."

The spotlight is on you again

You point on the map to a ice tunnel that has been talked about many times

"Well, I was thinking, if you could trap the griffons here, you could force a surrender with few casualties, which would be far superior to the large-scale battle on the hills that was purposed before."

The General raises his voice in protest

"Anonymous, we know you're trying, but we've already talked about this. The griffons are deadly in close range combat, we are fighting in the field to avoid that."

You gain a slight smile, you were expecting him to say that

"...Except we wouldn't be fighting them up close."

The General raises an eyebrow

"You would focus your Unicorns in the caves, allowing them to fire at any griffons trying to get too close. And because the tunnel is so straight and narrow, your unicorns would need less support in case of a surprise flank, as the griffons couldn't flank in the cave."

The General scowls

"That's ridiculous."

The council starts to chatter, and they soon come to agree with you

Princess Celestia looks down at you and gives you another great smile

That smile feels good

Celestia leans in and whispers something to you

"I'm so proud of you, Anon."

You blush with pride, you also realize just how close you two are

You then feel Celestia's hoof gently touch your hand, for just a moment and then she backs away

You see her blush and she gives you another smile

Cutest thing you've ever seen

But it fades quickly as she prepares to speak again

Celestia glares at the general

"What do you have to say for yourself, General?"

The General looks down, ashamed

"I- I was wrong. I'm sorry, your majesty. And I'm sorry, Anonymous. It won't happen again."

Celestia growls, and then she speaks in a tone that is surprisingly harsh

"You're right, it won't."

The General looks up, confused

Celestia continues

"You are being demoted. You are expected out in the field next week, "Field-Commander"."

You are shocked

You look up at Celestia, who just has a cold expression on her face

The whole room is silent, Celestia's mane waves slowly

The General, who is no longer a general, stares right at you and looks like he wants to speak, but instead he slams his hoof down

"Yes, of course. Your majesty."

He could barely manage to squeeze that one out through his clenched teeth, but he got up and walked out of the room

A few people in the room glare at you

What the fuck are you doing Celestia?

The rest of the council goes well enough, but you feel terrible

Half of the people in the room hate you now

and you didn't even do anything!

Nobody likes a teacher's pet, you suppose

But you didn't ask for it

Once the seminar closes, you head off to dinner

Celestia stays closer to your this time then last time, making sure to be within a few jumps even though she is talking to other guests

Your dinner isn't cut short this time, but you still feel like it went by quickly

Finally, you begin to walk towards your room, but you hear Celestia from behind you

"Anon!"

You turn and see her, she waves you over

You approach, and she smiles at you

"You did wonderfully today, Anonymous."

"Th.. Thank you your majesty."

She bows her head down closer to yours

You aren't sure what she is doing

She almost looks like she is about to kiss you

Instead, her head moves and she does that weird-horse hug thing with her neck

You freeze for a moment, but you soon reach and return the hug

She seems to shiver with happiness as you break the hug

"Anonymous, I need to tell you something important. You are no longer sleeping in your room."

You nod

"Alright then, where am I sleeping then?"

"With me." Celestia states bluntly

You blink in surprise

She suddenly turns beat red

"I me-meant in my room! You're sleeping up in my quarters, I meant."

You have never heard her stammer before

You nod your head, but you are still confused

"If I may ask; Why?"

Celestia looks over your shoulder

She then leans in and whispers

"Do you remember those keys I lost? Well, it turns out I didn't lose them. They were stolen; there is a spy in the castle somewhere. We need to make sure this spy doesn't become an assassin. So, I'm keeping you safe up in my room."

In the back of your head, this seems a bit off

why would up there be any safer?

And why does she suspect you are a target for some assassin

You of course think back to that dream, but you're sure it has nothing to do with this. After all, it was just a dream.

Celestia motions and you follow her silently, and you both makes your way out to a courtyard

You start to freak out a little, this was just like in the dream

Celestia bends and kneels a bit, and tells you to hop on her

This was just like the dream

You slowly grab on and wrap your arms around her neck

She flies up silently and quickly

There is no Shining Armor barrier, but the gentle landing is the same

The layout of the room and balcony is even the same

This is seriously getting weird

You turn to look at Celestia, and things turn even more weird

She is looking down at you with a bit of a concerning look

Yours eyes met, and her pupils dilate

She is blushing pretty hardcore, and she takes a tentative step towards you

Her whole body seems to be crouching a bit at the front, with a bit of a spring in her back legs, almost like she is going to pounce

You feel very strange, and very concerned

The Princess is seeming to give off some signals

She leans forward and you step back in alarm, but she simply gives you another horse-hug

She then whispers in your ear in a voice that makes you shiver

"Go to bed, Anon."

You embrace her and feel her warmth, she seems like she wants to say more but she doesn't

You soon break the embrace, and she watches you as you slowly walk into her bedroom and close the door

You soon slip into the bed and fall asleep almost instantly, thankfully for your troubled mind

You thankfully don't have any crazy dreams that night

You still don't know why Celestia is keeping you in her room now, but you think you're starting to piece it together

She's acting a little more "friendly" to you then her other subjects

Maybe she's just really protective, but you can't be sure

Anyway, you soon wake up and look around

You find Celestia's shower, a very fancy and nice thing

You make sure she isn't around to see you use her shower, for more then one reason

You turn it on and clean up

It's probably the best fucking shower you've ever had

Perfect in every way

You don't even dare touch her crazy number of bottles of shampoo, she needs those for her mane

After drying off and putting on your new clothes, you wait around for a while

You decide you should probably go downstairs

You walk to the door, and turn the handle

It doesn't budge

You keep trying, but the door is locked

There is no way to unlock it from the inside

You stomp your foot in frustration and anger

"I can't fucking believe she's locked me in!"

You are pretty pissed off

You go sit down and wait for her to get back

In at least an hour, Celestia comes flying up to the balcony

She sees you and smiles wide

"Hello Anonymous! Slept well?"

You shoot her your pissed off look, her smile drops

She takes a few steps closer, looking concerned

"What's wrong, Anon?"

There's that pet name again

You don't even say anything, you just point towards the door

Celestia looks at the door and then back to you, before scowling

"It was for your safety, Anon."

You stand up, balling up your fists

"I DO NOT like being locked up like a prisoner, Celestia!"

Celestia frowns, looking guilty

She sits and stays quiet

"...I'm sorry."

You are almost taken aback by that, you weren't expecting her to say it

But she still looks upset, probably with herself

You take a step closer, but she looks away

You think she's starting to cry

You really don't want to see that

You get even closer and kneel down, you hear her sob a little

Oh no

You reach out and gently grab one of her hooves, and she looks at you in surprise

"Hey... don't cry. It's ok. You were just protecting me, that's all."

Celestia smiles, sniffling

"Th-Thank you Anon."

Celestia leans forward a little, and you think she is going to do that weird horse-hug thing again

But instead she takes her other front leg and places her hoof gently on your hand

"I'll make it up to you Anonymous. Tonight."

You nod, though your mind is racing

You immediately put out the obvious; you knew that wasn't what she meant

She didn't even say it in a saucy way!

It must just be your mind that is making all these connections, you haven't had any release for a while now

Celestia soon breaks the nice contact with your hand and stands up

"Well, we have more meetings to attend to today; unfortunately."

You nod and follow

Celestia walks up to the door and unlocks it with just a second of magic, and then you begin the long walk down the stairway.

You wonder why you didn't ride her down the tower, but you quickly figure last night it was for a stealthy way up the tower

As you walk down the tower, following your Princess, you get several good looks at her butt

She stops and turns her head back at you

"Is there something wrong, Anonymous?"

She obviously caught you checking her out

You blush and quickly stammer

"No-Nothing!"

Celestia smiles and continues to walk, and you could almost swear there is a wiggle in her step

Damn male brain, always complicating things

Soon though, you reach the war-room again

You can tell things will be bad when a grim faced pony walks in with a black scroll

The pony with the black scroll unfolds it and clears his throat

Then, in a monotone voice, he speaks

"First casualty report. Twelve soldiers, one officer. Six Earth Ponies, Two Unicorns, five Pegasi."

You frown, and the pony rolls up the scroll and walks away

You look at the war map, and the little fake pieces on top, and the bitter reality comes crashing down

This isn't just pieces on a map, it's a real war going on with real victims

You notice everyone in the room now seems more reserved, with their old talks of crazy risky strategies being reduced down to conservative tried and true moves and positions.

You really hope none of those casualties are your fault

You also notice everything much quieter since the general is gone, for better or for worse

After the meeting is over, Celestia invites you for lunch to that restaurant again

You almost ask if she is sure, you don't want to run into Fancy Pants after what happened last time

But she quickly adds something in

"We will have another guest there, my student Twilight Sparkle."

Alright

You follow Celestia as she walks out the castle

You soon make your way down to the restaurant

You see a purple pone sitting at the table

She waves excitably at Celestia, and presumably at you too

You both reach the table and sit down, with Celestia giving Twilight a horse-hug

"It's so good to see you again, my most faithful student."

You notice Twilight had a chair right next to her, and another chair was across the table

You take your seat across the table from Twilight

You then see Celestia silently move the chair closer to you and sit down next to you

You notice that Twilight watched and saw, but she didn't seem to react

She looks more curious then anger, but there is something else in her eyes too

Jealousy maybe?

Anyway, you order your drinks and food, and Celestia and Twilight start to talk

You only talk occasionally

Soon, Twilight focuses on you more, and even floats out a quill and a notebook

"So Anonymous, care to talk to me about Earth a bit?"

You blink, exhaling

"Uhhh... Where do I start."

Twilight giggles

"Just anywhere. Tell me about where you come from, and I'll write it down."

You scratch the side of your head

It honestly seems a bit blurry

"Well... Humans..." You starts, thinking of what to say

You look over and see a carriage going down the street

"Humans don't get around in carriages anymore, we use cars."

You feel a bit proud for that stupid statement anway

Twilight quickly writes that down

"How do they work?"

Your eyes widen

You never paid attention in shop class

"Oh, uhhh. I'm not sure."

Twilight's smile seems to droop a little

"You used one, right?"

"Well yes, almost everyday in fact."

"Then you have to know a bit about how they work."

You sit back and look up, thinking

"Well they have an engine, and that turns the wheels, and there is a wheel in the car that steers it, and seats for people to sit and stuff. And you put gas in it so it can go and stuff."

Twilight writes that down but seems a bit frustrated

"Ok, but how do they work?"

You shrug

"Are you serious?" Twilight asks, who has dropped all friendliness and now seems upset

"Come on Anonymous! It could revolutionize Equestria, you used one all the time you said, so you have to know something! I just need a few details and-"

Suddenly, Celestia raises her hoof

"That's enough, Twilight."

Twilight looks very surprised

"But, Celestia-"

"No Twilight. Don't harass Anonymous. He's under alot of stress right now, I don't want you pestering him."

Twilight looks defeated and surprised, she wasn't expecting this from her teacher

She quietly uses her magic to put away her notepad and quill, looking sad

You feel bad, but Celestia knew how her student could get

Thankfully, the food arrived just then, and they all ate while talking and laughing

After it was all done, you got up and waved as Twilight left, who looked a little remorseful but still trotted away

You are glad everything went well, at least better then what happened with Fancy Pants

Soon, you are back in the castle and you sit in during the nightly war council

Thankfully, no more casualties

At least, not for tonight

As soon as the meeting is over, Celestia walks with you again

You stop outside of her tower

"Remember that surprise I promised you this morning? Well, it's time."

You smile at her nervously

She smiles back, her eyes peering into yours, her kindness and love overflowing

"Follow me."

Celestia then begins to walk out into the courtyard, and you saw Luna's moon bright in the night sky

You follow her, wondering what she had in mind.

It is dark outside, with the moon high overhead, casting a gentle light over all the gardens of the castle

Celestia sticks out a bit, her white mane making her really obvious in the night

As you walk, you hear the sounds of crickets and your foot steps, but otherwise everything is silent

In fact, Celestia's steps are so gentle and graceful you can't even hear her walking

She leads you through some clearings, and you can hardly even see the castle

Just how big are these gardens anyway?

She looks back at you, and smiles

"Almost there, Anon."

The way she said that was really cute, and it makes you smile too

But you realize that now nobody can see you two, unless somebody is sneaking around

If she was going to murder you, it would probably now

Of course she won't do that

Finally, you reach a small clearing with a large pond in the center

Celestia stops

She turns to you and blushes

"Anon, what I'm about to show you I've only shown to 5 others in my very long life."

You instantly start to pay attention

Celestia spreads her wings and flaps, gaining just a foot or so of air

Then she floats over the pool

With the moon in the background, she begins to dance

Celestia moves with grace that could only be gained from centuries of practice

You also find yourself sitting down and watching

Celestia's eyes are closed in concentration or emotion, or perhaps both

She starts to float, with only the slightest movement of her wings, she moves very slowly and carefully

She doesn't flap them to move, she just moves through the air as if by force of will

She slowly moves again, continuing her ballet

You can't take your eyes off this display

Celestia doesn't stop, her twisting and motions graceful

Even though it is the middle of the night, she shines like a star

Celestia's body moves with such ease

You begin to feel that the end of the dance is nearing

She begins to slowly and gently fall towards the pond, and she sticks out a hoof

It touches down, and she stops

She is literally holding herself up on water with the tip of one of her hooves

Her head shifts slightly, she seems to be remembering something, a tear slowly drips from her eye, even though she smiles

You feel a tear drip down your face

You honestly didn't even notice that you had begun to cry a little bit

And you still don't know why

And there she stays, for you don't know how long

Suspended by a single hoof

Celestia holds it for a little bit, you're not sure how long

She then gives you a single flap of her wings and slowly comes to rest on the ground in front of you

You rub your eyes, clearing away the tears

Celestia looks down at you with a peaceful expression

She's so full of emotion

"Celestia..."

She walks closer

"Don't say anything, Anon..."

She is now hovering over you

Her two hooves come up and gentle touch your shoulders

She doesn't push, but you find yourself laying down

She's over you, her face full of love

She leans forward, her eyes on yours

She leans down further and kisses you

You feel yourself freeze up, the feeling is electric

You just stay limp under her as she kisses you on top

She makes a cute, satisfied sigh once she breaks the kiss

Without saying anything, she gets up and waits for you

You get up too, and the both of you walk back to the castle

You soon come to a stop again, with Celestia leaning forward and lowering a shoulder

You wordlessly slide onto her, and she flaps her wings and gently flies up

This time was much better then last time, this time it was so much more personal

You could feel her heartbeat against yours, her breathing as she effortlessly flies the both of you to her balcony

Once there, you get off and Celestia looks you in the eyes again

She gives you another kiss, this one a bit shorter

Celestia breaks the kiss and you both walk into her bedroom

You wonder what she is planning, for obvious reasons, but you don't say anything

You don't want to break this trance you've entered

Everything just happens and flows

Celestia lets you enter the bedroom first, and she gently prods you forward with her head

You soon find yourself standing over her bed, and you look at her

Celestia kisses you again, and you slide into bed right after

Celestia slides in too

You reach out with your hands and grab her gently

She snuggles up to you close

You have a few lingering doubts, but they fade as you are now in absolute comfort

Her body is so soft against yours

She is very warm, and very cuddly

You exhale as you move yourself closer, shifting your body so you are comfortable

You turn your head and look at Celestia's fine face, who still has her eyes half open

Her pupils dilate as you look in her eyes, and she smiles in surprise as you are the one to lean forward and kiss her

She sighs and closes her eyes, and you do to, the both of you holding each other

You fall into the most absolutely wonderful sleep you've ever had
