The skies the limit
Nekos, Dragons and Traitors? Oh My!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFlying over the island in the sky, that I would later call, Ars Magia Scientia. My wings propelled us forwards closer still to it, large planes of grassland interspersed with trees, a large mountain range curling around one edge. The perfect place to build my home, my research department and maybe even a university to rival Canterlot’s or surpass it. a small town for ponies who don’t want to commute.
After a couple more minutes we landed, Twilight was still latched to my back like a limpet, her eye’s closed tightly and screaming for dear life.
“Twilight, we are here.” my attempt to bring her around, failed. Next I tried poking her cheek as well as saying “Twilight, Starswirl the Bearded is here and he wants your autograph.”
Still no response from her. This calls for drastic measures! I thought, before I pulled Twilight off my back using my considerable strength. She started to flail her legs as she tightened her eyes shut and screamed louder. With a roll of my eyes and cradling her in my arms, the right, slung underneath her back legs and the left wrapped behind her supporting her head, I leant in and silenced her with my lips pressing against hers gently kissing her. She stopped flailing and all her muscles relaxed as she melted in my arms, Twilight’s eyes shot open wide before going half lidding again a process she repeated several times as she fought to regain some modicum of control of herself again, she finally gathered the strength and pushed away breaking our lips apart before she teleported out of my arms. The tips of her ear’s, face and part of her neck were glowing crimson with shock and embarrassment.
Twilight lifted her right hoof to point at me, “y-yo-you kissed me!” she stammered, her voice going up several pitches higher.
Twilight started pacing left and right in front of me “What possessed you to kiss me!?” Twilight screeched.
“Well you wouldn’t stop screaming, even after I called you. I even mentioned Starswirl the Bearded, but that didn’t work either. So what if I kissed you Twilight, it’s just a kiss,” I said, shrugging nonchalantly, Twilight had stopped her mouth opening and closing doing an impressive impersonation of a goldfish before continuing her rant “J-j-just a kiss!?”
I smirked at her reaction.Dear lord Twilight’s adorable.
“That was my first kiss,” Twilight mumbled hiding her face in her hooves as her face got even more red.
I leant in and asked, “I am sorry, I am not sure I heard you right?”
“It was my first kiss!” She shouted before she covered her mouth with her hooves clamping it shut, after she realized what she said. She slowly looked up at me and my smirk had morphed into a full fledged grin.
“You better take responsibility, Princess or not!”
I looked at Twilight incredulously. “Okay, it’s not like I got you pregnant, Twilight, so that whole responsibility thing is a moot point. As for the kiss, if you really hated it that much, I could just erase that it ever happened?” I said as I held my hands on my hips. Thinking for a moment I tried to puzzle out why Twilight would be this upset and then it hit me.
“Don’t worry Twilight, you’re a great kisser, I give you Princess Sora’s stamp of approval.” I beamed at the flustered mare, who blushed.
“What!? No! That’s not it! You're acting like it didn’t mean anything to you!”
I sighed “Twilight it’s kind of hard for me to get worked up over a kiss, I am fifteen hundred years old Twilight. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with you, as evidenced by your reaction. I apologise, it was insensitive of me to do it. To so brazenly kiss you without regard to how you felt. However, I feel that I should tell you that just because that specific kiss didn’t mean anything to me, doesn’t mean you don’t mean anything to me. And I have one question for you, do you want me to try again and let me give you the proper first kiss you deserve, and not one meant to just shock you out of your panic attack?
“I don’t know, I—”
I interrupted her with my hand on her mouth.
“Twilight, I don’t just kiss everypony indiscriminately, and while It doesn’t really do it for me and to be honest It never used to either, I only kiss those I care for.”
“Ok, I want you to try again, just … please don’t rush me, let me savor it.” Twilight asked sheepishly, I knelt down and locked lips with Twilight, wrapping my arms around her neck and held the back of her head in my left hand, Twilight’s lips are so soft, why didn’t I notice before? A burning need in me lit inside me as I continue to kiss her, the little moans and cute squeaks she would make as I gently nibbled on her lips, even as I slid my tongue inside her mouth. Her larger, stronger tongue was wrapping around mine trying to keep it from escaping. As we continue Twilight pulled me down, wrapping her hooves around me as my hands slide down her body and held onto her barrel. When Twilight finally pulled away, I had to laugh a little at her wide smile, the matching blushes on our faces. I leant back down for round two.
“Princ—”
I pressed a finger against her lips
“You don’t have to call me Princess, Twilight. I—”
I was interrupted by Twilight barging past me as she resumed pacing, her ears now pinned back her face showing her panic.
“Oh no, I kissed Princess Celestia’s sister—”
“You know, I am right here you know?” I interrupted grumpily, Just as I was actually getting into it for once.
“She’s going to send me to the moon, no worse the sun for defiling her little sister!” She ignored my interjection.
“Again right here.” I added with a deadpan stare as I watched her pace, Pulling out a amethyst crystal phone and turned around. I had made it back before my sealing, to enable voice communication between ponies using the ambient magic field. My one was likely out of date by now. I activated it and thought about calling Celestia, a holographic screen appeared above the crystal, it now showed Celestia and Luna with Them in the middle of a tickle fight with their wings,
Celestia clearly had the upper hoof and had Luna on her back, Luna’s belly exposed to the monster that loomed over Her, Luna continue to struggle but it was futile her currently smaller size and her sister’s cake weight made it impossible to escape, she clenched her eyes shut waiting for the inevitable. Celestia used the primaries of her wings to tickle Luna’s exposed belly, a large grin on her face as Luna giggled uncontrollably, “No-ho-hoooo! ‘Tia tis not fair thou art bigger then we art,” Luna whined out between giggles.
“Are you saying I’m fat, Luna!?” Celestia gasped and fell off her sister and onto her back lacking a chaise lounger, she laid on her left flank her rear legs relaxed to the side, her left foreleg supporting her slightly. Celestia brought up her right fore leg to her face in mock dramatic fashion. And started to cry, Luna distraught that she had made her sister cry scrambled over to her
“Nay sister thou art not fat, we thinketh that thou art a healthy weight!” She climbed up Celestia’s exposed barrel and looked into Celestia’s tear stained eyes mascara staining her cheeks, “We were joking, dearest sister, we art sorry we hurt thy feelings.Thou art beautiful sister, let us set this behind us?” Luna continued to implore, Celestia sniffed,
“You really think so Lulu?” Celestia asked making a show of inspecting her body. A small smile appearing on her lips as Celestia shouted “Gotcha!” and recaptured Luna in her hooves giving her a big hug. As Luna squealed as she was spun around before both Celestia and Luna collapse on the floor giggling.
I cleared my throat, my grin was wide as I watched my sister’s horrified faces as they realised they were caught. Celestia and Luna quickly scrambled to their hooves matching blushes on their faces and trotted over to their phone. I smiled at them.
“Celestia Oneesama—”
“Call me ‘Tia when we are in private, Sora. we’ve been through this,” Celestia admonished as Luna was snickering in the background.”
“I am not in private ‘Tia, I am with Twilight,” I said
“Oh Twilight already knows of that nickname.”
Celestia just waved a hoof dismissively, “She is fine,” Celestia continued.
Shaking my head a tiny smile hid under my head as I looked down.
Looking back up I continued “Anyway Twilight seems to be under the impression that you would banish her to the moon or sun because I kissed her to stop her from screaming, a couple of minutes ago.” Both Luna and I shudder slightly at the mention of the moon. As I finished explaining Twilight phased through me perhaps trying to stop me from telling Celestia, Twilight landed unceremoniously on the ground, Luna and Celestia watched the lump of lavender fur under the screen began to cower in embarrassment and fear. Both of my sister’s were wearing impish grins. As I help extricate Twilight from the ground.
“Damn! And we were this close to winning, why couldst thou not hangeth on Sora!? Another five minutes and we couldst have gotten Celestia to wear a maid uniform,” Luna said as she pouted. She hoofed over a sack of bits to Celestia
“Now she’s going to think she’s good at matchmaking, too!” Luna continued while she continued to pout.
“Also don’t forget the punishment game Lulu!~” Celestia said in a singsong tone.
Grumbling, Luna conjured a pair of catfilly ears, tail and a black goth loli outfit with cat paws where her hooves would have been, she also had black and white striped hock high socks.
Twilight and I watched, the former in horror her jaw dropped at seeing her mentor acting like a high school filly and the latter me cooing at the adorable sight of Luna.”
I grinned evilly and turned Luna into a real catfilly, and a flash of light enveloped Luna briefly. Luna angrily glared at me, her coat and the fur on her now straight tail spiking up in reaction “This is part of your punishment for sealing me away. I was so bored, Lulu.” I explained as Luna hissed in response and Celestia looked like she was trying to hold in her laughter she was biting her lip but failed to hold it in, and so burst out laughing.
“‘Tia I hope you know this means war!”
Celestia clapped her hooves together in excitement “Oh yay! A prank war. finally. All those stuffy nobles, fearful maids and overly reverent common ponies always ruin my fun they won't even prank war with me” Celestia pouted.
I interjected “To be fair ‘Tia, me and Lulu are the only ponies save discord that could even give you a fun one. also I don’t think Chrysie has forgiven you for the last one.”
“Oh phooey on her! That bug has a metaphorical stick up her butt. She didn’t even let me undo the prank I played on her and her so called pride has doomed her race.” Celestia crossed her front hooves petulantly.
Celestia’s lips pulled up into an impish grin again as she noticed Twilight moving to escape, turning to address her Celestia said “So Twilight how was your first kiss?” Twilight froze mid trot.
Twilight began sputtering again her embarrassment returning in full force, Twilight hid behind me and whimpered a bit before poking her head out and answering, “I-I-I m-may have liked it. My data is inconclusive! I require further experimentation in order to obtain enough pertinent data to be able to provide a satisfactory answer to your inquiry.” she stuttered as she hid behind me again.
Celestia smirked “So when can I expect wedding bells and a new niece or nephew?”
“W-w-wedding!? Niece or nephew!?” Twilight screeched out, I sighed putting my right hand over my face before turning back and decided to save Twilight from further embarrassment.
“‘Tia it’s way too early for that, we aren’t even dating … yet,” I stated
“Yet!?” Twilight screeched her face red as a tomato. Celestia and Luna fell onto their backs, hooves kicking the air as they laughed uproariously. I decided to cut off the phone before more damage to Twilight’s ego could be done.
Twilight laid on the floor mortified, tears began to fall down her cheeks.
“Oh Tartarus, I am sorry I did that Twilight, really I only meant to assuage your baseless fears,” I said.
Twilight huffed and turned her back to me as she laid back down.
“I thought you were going to show me the island? Not embarrass me in front of your sisters?” Twilight sniffed. I looked at her incredulously.
I bent down and placed a hand on her withers, “Hey, hey, hey, I didn’t do that to embarrass you. Look, I thought you wanting to study me was a euphemism, Twilight, I thought you meant that you wanted to get to know me better, if you catch my drift? You know, that you wanted to date me?”
“No! I didn’t mean it like that! And you’re a Princess why would you want to date me anyway, I am just a low born noble and I am not even beautiful! Just an average looking unicorn.” Twilight responded hotly and then slumped down in despair, as I gave her a deadpan stare again.
“Twilight don’t think I didn’t noticed your tail flagging while you were on my back. And never say you aren't worth it or beautiful, you are a beautiful, talented and intelligent mare, Twilight. You are also adorable and I am honestly surprised ‘Tia hasn’t already made a move to take you as her royal consort. ”
Twilight meeped “What! You noticed that!? Wait did you just say I’m beautiful and what did you mean when you said you were surprised Princess Celestia hadn't already made me her consort!?” Twilight tried to hide herself under her hooves, sighing I pulled her up and hugged her.
“It’s okay Twilight, I am flattered you find me attractive. As for ‘Tia well that is because we three sisters are quite promiscuous, we have had numerous lovers throughout our immortal lives. We are not virgins Twilight and ‘Tia and I also are attracted to intelligent and adorable mares that means Twilight you are a perfect candidate for being our royal consort, well now ‘Tia knows I am with you or at least trying to be, she’ll either back off or fight me for you or herd with us. Anyway it’s getting late would you like another piggyback ride to the construction site?” I asked as Twilight laid her chin in the crook of my neck she shook her head.
“It’s too hard to hold on, could you turn into a pony? Also does your promiscuity mean that if we do date, you’ll cheat on me?” Now it was my turn to frown.
“No, Twilight I would never cheat on you, although I would be open to being in a herd with you as that is traditionally what we three sisters normally do. However if you want me all to yourself then I will be in a monogamous relationship with you and not cheat. However if ‘Tia wants to herd with us I am going to be fine with it and ultimately it’ll be your choice whether or not to turn my sister down, if she wants to herd with us.”
“Also I will transform into, my original form, but only for you okay Twilight? When we return to Equestria I’ll be changing back, alright?” I responded
“Why?” Twilight asked
I sighed again “Twilight, you’ll find out afterwards. Just remember that I keep away from my original form for a reason.” I said as I was enveloped in a bright flash of light. As the light faded Twilight gasped.
“The resemblance is uncanny isn’t it?”

Twilight pov
There Sora stood before me, much of her body had changed, she was no longer bipedal. She stood tall and proud, easily as tall as Celestia, but had Luna’s body shape, Sora was perhaps even a little intimidating. Yet that serene smile, those kind eyes offset the intimidation factor. Her cutie mark was of a clear blue sky with a single cloud in it and a set of brass scales in front of it. Why do I want to bow to her!? I also really want to date her now, well I did before as well but the fact she can become a full pony means I can mate with her which has definitely sealed the deal. Also she called me beautiful, no pony but my mom and dad has ever called me that, but that doesn't really count as parents always say that. Perhaps I can convince Princess Sora to stay a pony. I thought.
“So Twilight you should now see, there are two problems with this form. One Ponies everywhere bow and scrape and try to put me on a pedestal. Two I don’t stand out too much from my sisters.”
“I think I can help with the first problem and the second problem really isn’t a problem, you look different from your sisters, Sora! It is also normal, for you to look a bit like your sisters. Also can you tell me about your cutiemark?”
“Ok there is another reason, if stallions see me like this they tend to swarm around me. Which might sounds like a great thing but after a while It just got tiresome especially with nobles
“As for my cutiemark, this old thing?” Sora said gesturing to it, she created a chalk board into existence with a piece of chalk floating on it’s own ready to write anything she said and a telescopic pointer, “Well let’s start with what it symbolises, my power over reality and my sovereignty over the skies, I have taken to calling my power absolute law manipulation; the power to make, change, destroy or redefine any/all kinds of rules and laws, including physical, scientific, magical, divine, metaphysical or conceptual, granting them control over all limits Including my own.”
Since Princess Sora started her lecture on her powers the chalk busily wrote down information and diagrams for me to copy. I had begun taking notes as soon as she began to speak.
Continuing on with her lecture Princess Sora gave an example “For example, I could say make it a law that you would have to have sex with family members and that the punishment is death [extreme I know, but it’s just an example] and that failure to comply will result in death and seeing as it affects the very fabric of the universe, no one could defy me.
Let it be known though that I don’t like to use it during fights [makes it too easy] so I focus on my other powers, psychic constructs, power compression, element powers (periodic not four elements) and my power over all skies. I won't go into too much detail now as I believe you would like to write it all down and I doubt you have enough parchment stored in that pocket dimension of yours for it all and that, my faithful student, concludes today’s lecture.” Sora finished closing the pointer and wore a beaming smile.
Wait, did she just call me her faithful student?
I looked down and scuffed my hoof on the ground. “I love your smile Princess, and thank you for teaching me.” I said
“You are most welcome Twilight!” Sora replied with a smile as radiant as the sun.
“Also I think you look b-beautiful.” I said as I felt my cheeks burn again.
“Um that is not to say that your other form isn’t beautiful!” I hastily added.
There I said it consequences be damned!
Sora smiled a little “That is kind of you to say Twilight,” she ruffled her wings and beckoned me over, as she lowered herself tucking her legs underneath herself she said “Come now Twilight climb on my back.”
Doing as I was told, I climbed up carefully before curling up on her back, I sniffed and nuzzled into her warm and soft coat, the scent of lavender coat shampoo, permeated Sora’s body. I curled up I got lost in a my own little world. “Sora would you be my mare friend?” I muttered sleepily.
“Of course I will Twilight, if that is truly what you want?.” Sora replied softly.
Sora rose to her hooves and spread her wings. she turned to see me snuggled up my eyes barely open, she leant forward and nuzzled me, as I fell asleep, cozy, safe.

Deep in the Everfree. A lone brown cloaked figure studied a scrying orb watching and listening in horror, “So that’s Princess Celestia’s sister’s true form, if we don’t get rid of her the already unlikely event of Celestia abdicating the throne just got much less likely now that she has help from her 3 alicorn sisters and if the rumors are true a 4th, the master will not be pleased.” the figure muttered as he slipped into a cave. The rock entrance, eventually giving way to a pile of gems and bits. A seafoam green dragon open it’s eyes and peered down at the intruder. Rumbling from it’s throat gave way to speech “What do you want pony!?”
The cloaked pony cowered as he responded “Oh great and noble dragon, I come to you with tidings of great treasure and gems on a floating island, near Canterlot. The guardian of this treasure has boasted that no being shall take the treasure she guards and that the one who finally manages to beat her shall be allowed to take her hoard.”
“This female thinks she can stop me taking what is mine!? Out of my way you sniveling coward!”
Under his hood the figure grinned there should only be one princess in Equestria..
******
The Dragon, flew towards the floating island. Roaring he flew down towards the only two ponies on the island. Hovering above the two ponies he bellowed,
“I am Emerald Iron Claw, first born of Tiamat and I challenge you for your hoard guardian! and when I am done with you I will eat that little morsel cowering under your mane.” Emerald said.
I glared at Emerald as I safely levitated Twilight down waking her up in the process “You come to my home, you threaten me and my mate and you think I’ll let you live to tell the tale!? I was going to go easy on you but seeing as you are too dumb to know how to preserve your worthless life, I hereby grant you the darwin award.” A massive gold bust statue of Charles Darwin came out of nowhere and connected with the dragon's head dragging him to the ground leaving a trench where the dragon fell.
Then I turned to face the audience, “Apologies folks but this is not for mortal eyes, so cameraman stay here. and i’ll just go over nyah. Oh and Twilight stay here and hide behind this tree close your eyes and cover your ears and no peeking.”
“Come on you gems for brains!” I shouted
“I will end you!” Emerald responded in rage.
******
The figure that remained in the dragon’s cave gleefully watched as the dragon swung for Princess Sora each attack batted away with her wings, getting tired of defending Sora planted her forehooves swinging her back legs around as Emerald charged at her, Sora’s hooves made contact with his head. Sending him flying through the air as draconic blood seeped from the dented and damaged head of Emerald. Sora slowly trotted towards Emerald her horn flared as magic enveloped the dragon’s limbs. Emerald lifted in the air, legs, wings and tail all gripped tightly as Sora’s magic started pulling in opposite directions.
“Wait! No! What are you doing!” Emerald screamed in horror as he felt the tension build as his limbs were being pulled from his body. Emeralds skin began to rip and tear at his joints, blood began seeping from the wounds.
“Come on! You were talking all that good shit a second ago, then I caved your fucking skull in. What’s wrong dragon! Just grow back your head and limbs, summon up your demons, hit me! Fight me! GiVe mE A HuG!”
“Really?” Emerald whimpered, Sora grined razor sharp teeth gleaming in the light before charging at the screaming Emerald “No, no get away!”
******
“We're here on Epic Meal Time!! I'm the sauce boss, and tonight, we're eating this green little dragon-wannabe-bitch!” The sound of Princess Sora’s voice echoed from the scrying orb into the cave as the cloaked pony emptied his bowels all over the cave floor, watching in absolute horror as Emerald was eaten with an ease and by somepony so much smaller than him.
******
Twilight’s pov
Emerald’s screams echoed throughout the Island, as the sounds of crunches, ripping, tearing and gulping continued to fill the area. Twilight opened one of her eyes to take a peek and immediately regretted it. Twilight fell to her haunches wide eyed and started rocking back and forth.
“It’s ok Twilight the mare you have a thing for just ate a massive dragon, no big deal Just pretend you never saw anything, yep nothing happen at all!” Twilight laughed nervously.
******
Sora’s pov
I returned from off screen, looking down at Twilight I noticed her state of mind.
“You peeked didn’t you?” I asked Twilight whom responded by mutely nodding, eyes still wide at having seen me, Sighing I bent down and hugged her, attempting to comfort a distraught Twilight.
“Ho—w, how did that, fit into that!?” Twilight almost screeched first pointing off screen and then pointing to my perfect and shapely barrel.
“Don’t dwell on it Twilight. In most circles I am what would be charitably called an eldritch abomination. Logic and I have a long standing agreement to avoid messing with each other. Don’t worry if there is a next time I’ll make sure you can’t watch.” I then amended, “by blocking your view and not by taking your eyes.”
Her mind caught up to what Sora had said and blushes at being referred to as Sora's Mate when she addressed the dragon.
I levitated Twilight onto my back with me trotting off to clean up after the mess I made, Twilight clung around my neck tightly turning to look her over I saw her clench her eyes tight and folded her ears against her face, shivering and whimpering as she tried to get what comfort she could out of the intimate gesture.
******
Sora pov
I sighed again at her, charging my horn, I cast a spell to eliminate nightmares and one to calm her down. Twilight let out a sigh of relief and contentment, as Twilight snuggled up again as she had before the dragon.
I shook my head a mirthful smile on my lips, as I watched Twilight fall asleep on my back Twilight, truly is adorable. I hope in the future we can be more than mare friends, but actual lovers. Right now the attraction’s there, but I am not a fool to think that I should let myself become complacent. But for now we must get to know each other better and what perfect way than to offer her a position as my head researcher, I am sure she’d love that … And a position between my legs, he he he you naughty ol’ mare. I wonder how Twilight would take it if she found out, that at least in part that I am Celestia and Luna. Sure living and working as some pony completely separate does mean we aren't entirely the same, but to say their memories and preferences didn't influence me would be foolish. I thought to myself. Taking care not to jostle my precious cargo awake, I took off into the air to head towards the construction site that would soon become my headquarters.
******
In the Everfree the figure spying on Princess Sora and Twilight had finally gotten over his bout of nausea. “Hmmm Princess Sora seems to have a soft spot for that mare on her back and what was it that Princess Sora said while I was puking my guts out. “
“Oh that’s right Twilight is her mate, then getting rid of her just got that much more easy. Best leave this place before the Princess decides to claim her prize.” The figure said as he began folding into the shadows the figure disappeared just in time to miss a clone of Sora running in, who had came to claim the horde of the dragon she ate. Opening up a massive portal above the horde piles it descended down enveloping the treasure. Before winking out of existence and leaving nothing of value behind

Rarity pov
Meanwhile the council of friendship, minus Twilight sat outside a Cafe Couture, a cafe located near the palace, “So we are all in agreement, we shall help our dear socially inept friend get the mare of her dreams. We all saw how she looked at Princess Sora?” I said levitating a teacup to take a sip.
“Ah dunno Rarity, this seems like it’s something Twilight should do herself. I agree that we should support her but ah dun think she’ll be happy to know we were meddling in her love life.”
“I have to agree with AJ, Rarity, I think we should support her but from as far from anything actually getting involved in it. I mean if Princess Celestia wasn’t messing with us, when she explained Princess Sora’s powers, we are nothing but gnats to her. You felt what she did to the elements!” Rainbow exclaimed a blush evident on her cyan cheeks “And those are the strongest artifacts we have! If she can control them, what good are we against her? It's really making me feel inadequate.”
“But darlings don’t you see if Twilight is trying to court her and she somehow hurts Princess Sora we are all doomed and it is our duty as her friends to make sure her social ineptitude doesn’t doom the world to an enraged goddess of the skies. Princess Celestia said it herself Sora is stronger than both her and Princess Luna together, what hope do we have besides preventing that disaster!” I for one argued.
Fluttershy poked her face out of her mane “I don’t think Princess Sora is like that, I mean um at least I don’t think she is.”
“Y’all saw how she reacted to her sisters, anypony that cares about family that much can’t be all that bad and she seems really mature. I mean all the Princesses are,” Applejack stated in a matter of fact tone.

Celestia pov
Meanwhile in Canterlot Palace, Luna was under attack from her treacherous big sister, Celestia brought her lips to Luna’s belly and started blowing raspberries making Luna giggle and thrash about, “Nooo, stop it ‘Tia!” Luna whined
“Do you surrender Lulu? Say it and I shall end this tickle war!” I said grinning wider
“Never!” Luna cried out defiantly and I resumed blowing raspberries on Luna’s belly as Luna’s legs flailed trying to move me away from herself, totally missing the guards discomfort and red faces as they try and reconcile the image of the stoic motherly goddess Celestia with this cute playful occurrence that they only ever heard rumours of back when Twilight was her student and living in the palace and even that was very rarely believed.

Twilight pov
“Wake up sleepy head, we’re already there.” A familiar voice called.
Grumbling I replied “5 more minutes.” trying to get back to sleep but my bed chuckling was making that hard. “Bed, stop shaking I wanna sleep!” This just made the chuckle turn into laughter and more shaking. I had enough I opened my eyes ready to confront my bed for waking me up, standing up I stomped my right hoof down, “Alright be—” I stop mid sentence as I came face to face with Princess Sora who had a twinkle in her eyes and a smile full of mirth as I looked around I noticed I was sleeping on her back. My face began to burn hotly in embarrassment at what I had said in my half asleep state.
I was mortified I had called Princess Sora my bed, I covered my face with my hooves wanting to die so I didn’t have to live in the embarrassment, Princess Sora, apparently had other ideas, she levitated her crystal phone which she no doubt used to record all of what just happened.

Sora pov
“Wake up sleepy head, we’re already there.” I said to the sleeping mare on my back. My heart trying to melt from the sheer adorableness of the scene before me. I took out my phone crystal in my magic and started recording video with it.
Grumbling Twilight replied “5 more minutes.” Twilight tried to curl up more on my back trying to get more sleep I chuckled.
“Bed, stop shaking I wanna sleep!” Twilight exclaimed still with her eyes closed this just made my chuckle turn into laughter. Twilight opened her eyes ready to confront me for waking her up, she stood up and then stomped her right hoof into my back “Alright be—” Twilight stopped mid sentence as Twilight and I came face to face. I had a smile full of mirth I could feel it pulling at my cheeks as she looked around and noticed she was sleeping on my back. Her face began to burn hotly in embarrassment at what she had said in her half asleep state.
Twilight covered her face with her hooves she groaned as I levitated my crystal phone in front of her which I had used to record all of what just happened. Chuckling again I nuzzled Twilight and then gave her a peck on the cheek causing her face to flush crimson but also for her to gain a happy dopey grin as well and almost fell off my back but caught herself.
After setting down on the ground at the eventual site of the AMS company headquarters, Twilight looked about probably trying to figure out what it might look like in the future, unaware that I was stalking up behind her, I quickly scooped her up as she eeped as I exposed her belly and blew raspberries on it, making her giggle uncontrollably
“W-w-why!? W-who told you about my weakn-es-s!? Was it Princess Celestia!?” Twilight sputtered as she was playfully assaulted by the ancient lips of a goddess. giggling I continued on heedless of her cries of mercy.

Rarity pov
“Right, y’all saw it too right?” Applejack asked. Getting nods of affirmation.
“Pinkie darling you have been awfully quiet are you okay?” I asked
Pinkie’s mane had straightened out and she looked depressed “It’s just do you think, when she marries Princess Sora that she’ll still live in Ponyville or will she have to move into Canterlot palace or maybe even that sky island? Will we ever see her again after that?”
The rest of the girls had worried frowns on their faces, but held pinkie pie in a group hug. “I don’t think she’ll leave us Pinkie, I doubt Twilight would leave us and no longer be our friends anymore even if she did marry Princess Sora.” I comforted Pinkie pie as the others nuzzled pinkie to cheer her up.

Sora pov
Back on AMS island, Twilight sneezed, causing me to pause the raspberries. “Are you catching a cold Twilight?” I asked worry present on my face.
“I am ok, I just sneezed.” Twilight smiled sheepishly
“Heh, maybe somepony is talking about you then?” I said while Twilight looked up at me with confusion.
“Oh it’s just an old folk tale, if someone is talking about you behind your back, you sneeze.” I shook my head “It’s a silly superstition really.”
Twilight smiled up at me “Thank you for telling me about it.” an impish grin crosses my features as I return to the raspberries. “Stop please, Princess don’t you need to build your headquarters!”
Stopping briefly, “And what stop playing with an adorkable mare, are you crazy I can work later. fun times now.” I said as Twilight groaned. This time I switched to my wings to tickle Twilight.
“Hang on if you finish the construction early, we can go to bed early.” Twilight purred in my ear. Immediately I set to work, as I went to the drawing board and began sketching up preliminary designs for the castle. Twilight trotted over to look over my shoulder, most of it took the design of Canterlot palace however the caps on the towers all were flat some looked like they could open. on each tower where several windows and some balconies.
“Ok I want the exterior to be made of vibranium painted white to mimic the look of marble, Solid oak wood floors, brick vaulted ceilings, interior walls of adamantine. The furniture will be stained red wood [those include bookcases, desks, beds and chairs] The beds will use cloud mattresses.” I continued to mumble to myself.
Twilight arched her left eyebrow “You know you are going to ruin any students by having so much luxury?” Twilight said
“Oh no this is just for the palace, Twilight. The students will get comfortable dorms and classrooms but it won't be cloud beds or redwood, they get teak and memory foam mattresses. all duvets [palace included] will be high thread count neighgyption cotton covers with pegasis down stuffed duvets. But where to place it all?” I muttered
“How about placing the palace over the river just at the twin waterfalls edge over on the mountain plateau, that way it’ll compliment those arches you drew under the palace and place the school proper by the waterfall basin/lake.” Twilight whispered
I thought it over and agreed with Twilight gave her a peck on the cheek “Thanks for the idea Twilight.” I said oblivious to Twilight blush at my praise and the royal chariots that were now arriving carrying her friends,
“Oh the Palace will need a shield generator, maybe I could ask Shining Armor if he has any idea’s. Oh and we definitely need to create the internet and a host of other technology for the place, perhaps having it also integrated into the local village as a alpha/beta test.”

Twilight pov
Twilight trotted over as she noticed her friends. Leaving Sora to ruminate.
“Hi guys!” I called out receiving various greetings,
“Hello my faithful student. Or should that be my faithful sister-in-law?” Celestia asked.
“Greetings, Twilight Sparkle.” Luna added to her sister’s salutation.
“Hey Moonbutt, get your flank over here, I need your input on this portal hub, you were always better at dimensional magic than I was.” Sora called out.
“Okay! Coming Skybutt!” Luna galloped off leaving the dumbstruck Bearers of Harmony and a chuckling Celestia.
“How did she know we were here and wait is she a pony now!” Rarity screeched
Celestia answered “Oh that’s simple Rarity she being the sovereign of the skies can use the wind to detect anything, and so the moment we came within range she knew. As for her being a pony she has always been a pony Rarity, her form before she came to Equestria was an alternate form, she tried going a couple of years in her original form but the constant proposals and ponies who would only use her for her powers took their toll and now she exclusively stays in her alternate form. Although if I am correct a certain event may cause her to stay a pony.”
Everypony asked at the sametime “What event?” Celestia giggled in response and bent down. “Oh just my faithful student Twilight asking my sister to be her marefriend! isn’t it romantic?” Celestia swooned.
“What!?”
“Stop trolling the Bearers of Harmony, Sunbutt or I’ll turn you human!” Sora called out as Luna giggled.
“You wouldn’t dare, since we found out last time that I have a bigger natural breast size than you!” Celestia tittered smugly to herself, leaving the bearers lost as to why that’s such a big deal.
“You call those blimps natural, I swear they defy all the laws of physics and your spine!” Sora retorted.
“Says the mare with two pairs of wings and a three horns!” Celestia replied.
“What are breasts?” Rainbow Dash asked confused.
“You would ask that wouldn’t you RD!” Sora shouted out. Rainbow Dash looked to Celestia with a silent plea in her eyes and an adorable pout on her lips.
Celestia sighed, “Breasts are mammaries, in humans or anthropomorphic ponies (which Sora is most of the time) they are placed on the chest rather than between your flanks, they contain a lot of fat and the size varies due to genetics, however it is agreed among anthro and human males and sometimes females, that the larger the breasts the better, as this shows that the female in question is an optimal breeding partner able to care for their young better than those who have smaller ones, size also is an indication of more milk ducts enabling quicker milk production and because of this bigger often means being more sexually attractive.”
“So why did Princess Sora say that your breasts were blimps like it was a bad thing?” Rainbow asked still confused.
“Oh that’s because she’s jealous.” Celestia said with a wide grin on her face.
“I am not jealous! Why would I want spine breaking pain?” Sora replied albeit a little petulantly.
Sora and Luna joined us. Sora trotting over to me and wrapping her left wings over me and Luna walked up to Celestia. Another chariot landed and out came Cadance, and a miserable looking Shining Armor.
Cadance spotted Sora and much to Shining’s and my shock, Cadance tackle hugged Sora, who wrapped her fore legs around Cadance.
“Oh, Cady! My little filly! How have you been, have you been listening to Aunt Celestia?” Sora asked as I looked at the scene in front of me with confusion.
“Mom! Not in front of my coltfriend!” Cadance whined as Sora covered her in kisses.
I coughed into my hoof and raised an eyebrow at Sora, “Sora, what are you doing?”
“Smothering my little filly in mushy motherly kisses.” Sora said
“She’s my foal sitter and she’s been dating my brother!” I shouted
“And?” Sora asked as my eye twitched.
“She practically raised me and now I am dating her mother! Wouldn’t that make me her mother-in-law when we marry and when they marry wouldn’t that make shining my son-in-law and Cadance my Sister-in-law!” I screeched at the odd family tree we were crafting.
Sora came over and held me in her fore legs. gently starting to brush my mane with a mane brush as she cooed trying to calm me down. I melted into her fore legs as she continued her ministrations.
Cadance came over to us “So you finally found that one mare to settle down with then Mom! And to think it was the filly I loved to sit for the most!” Cadance said clapping her hooves in excitement. My right eye twitched.
“Umm Cady sweety can you um not mention that right now? Twilight is having a melt down.” Sora said as she continued working on my mane.
Shining Armor trotted over with a frown, but still bowed in front of Sora.
“See that is what I was talking about Twilight?” Sora groused while I giggled.
Shining Armor looked to be weighing the benefits of making his sister laugh and between being insulted because he has to do this.
“Sora please tell him to rise. knowing Shiny he’ll be bowing until you tell him not to.” I pleaded Sora, who had just rolled her eyes in exasperation.
“Stand up already Shining Armor you’re embarrassing yourself.” Sora ordered exasperation evident in her tone of voice,music starts playing. Sora suddenly got serious, “Shining Armor, if you hurt my little filly, I’ll make you wish you were dead by the time I am through with you.” Sora said glaring intensely the pressure in the area increasing under the weight of Sora’s mere presence. before it was gone just as quickly as it had arrived, leaving the mortal ponies shaking from the unbelievable killing intent that they would normally never sense.
“Sora was that absolutely necessary?” Celestia asked frowning completely unphased by Sora’s display.
“Just making sure he understands, what will happen Celestia. It wouldn’t be fair of me to keep him in the dark, letting him make decisions without knowing the consequences.” Sora said darkly.
Sora noted That I was shaking in her fore hooves and pulled me in for a hug and began stroking my mane “Shhh, shhh it’s okay Twilight, I am sorry for exposing you to something you had never experienced in your life and to the element bearers I apologise, you ponies have not experienced true conflict in millenia and to suddenly experience the wrath of a goddess.” Sora lamented.
I Looked up fear in my heart as Sora shook her head, “Stupid, stupid, stupid!” Sora muttered like a mantra, internally I reprimanded myself as the others had already recovered.
“Why hasn’t Twilight recovered Sora?” Celestia asked worry evident on her face. While I wince
“Celestia, Twilight witnessed me devouring an adult dragon, who challenged me and threatened her life. I told her not to peek to cover her ears and to hide. But she peeked and that in combination with what I just did has really revved up her fear.” Sora said as Celestia gasped and gave me a sad look.
“Twilight, I would never hurt you, you know that right?” Sora asked Twilight nodded.
“I know tha-t-t logically, but I can’t stop myself.” I leant up and kissed Sora on the lips, I got pulled into a tighter embrace. “I am so, so sorry Twilight, I never meant to scare you Twilight.” Sora said as tears streamed down my and her own face.
“You can fix this right, I don’t want to be scared of you!” I begged.
“Twilight, there are two ways in which I can fix it, both come with their own consequences, I could forcefully make you immune to fear, to make you a warrior, however your personality will change in unforeseen ways. The second and safer way...I can ascend you to goddesshood.”
“Absolutely not I forbid it, she is not ready!” Celestia bellowed
“You think that I don’t know that ‘Tia you don’t think I know just how much the future will be screwed up, if I do it? The only other way is arduous, long and difficult Twilight, you stay with me, and get used to me. You’ll visit a therapist, and I’ll shower you with all the love and affection I can muster, so much that even Chrysalis would choke on it and find herself and her hive fed forever. Anything you want, within reason obviously. “ Sora responded as I nuzzled her gently.
“I’ll even move the whole of ponyville up to my island, anything to make it up to you. Anything so you don’t have to leave your friends because of my short sightedness.”
“Sora, I know it’s way too soon but I want you to marry me and live with me in Ponyville. No before you ask I won’t make you abandon this island in the sky, when I am better and you get to know the ponies of Ponyville offer them a chance to come with us.”I said between kisses.
“Despite this irrational fear I am feeling right now, this fear will pass. I also feel the best way for me to get over it would be to stay with you, to marry you outright.
So I don’t lose my chance with you due to your self loathing. Sora you have shown me without a shadow of a doubt that you care about me, that you will protect me, that you can provide for me and any children we may have and it helps that you’re beautiful.
Eventually when we get to know each other better, that will turn into real love.I know that you care and I can grow to love you, it won't be difficult you’re already well on your way into my heart. ” I smiled reassuringly before kissing Sora again.
All around us ponies were crying, “That was so beautiful Twilight,” Celestia dabbed her eyes as she wiped away her tears. Even Shining Armor was crying, though I still maintain it wasn’t because of my speech.
“BBBFF, are you crying?” I asked Shining Armor incredulously.
“No, no it’s er liquid pride, totally different thing.” Shining Armor added hastily.
“But isn’t this a little too early, I haven’t yet had chance to read the lexicon on new modern day relationships. Tell me is Scaring the shit out of everypony fourth or fifth base?” Luna asked with a smirk, Celestia rubbed her temple.
“it’s too late for this shit.” Celestia said suddenly causing everypony not a princess to gasp, “Oh grow up! Where’s my extra strong medicinal whiskey!?” Celestia stormed off, Celestia stopped and about faced and back to the group “I propose a compromise. From this day forward, Sora and Twilight will be considered betrothed, that way you won't have to marry just yet and that gives me time to plan.” Celestia added before leaving again.
“Hey Moonbutt, I think I broke our sister.” Sora said with a worried tone in her voice as I had chosen to lay on my back.
“No, Sora I recognise this mood. Remember that one time when she was really stressed one day after sealing discord away, then the next day she was so happy she was literally glowing.” Luna replied
“Yes, I do.” Sora answered cautiously.
“Well that night she got laid.” Luna snickered “So to fix her mood we must find her a booty call. and it’s the perfect time, it’s the grand galloping gala soon! ” Luna excitedly exclaimed.
“Soon!? The gala is at the end of the year!” Rarity exclaimed
“Rarity, Remember that we are immortals, a year seems like just a month at best to us. it’s all relative.”
“Aunty, Mom! Don’t step on my hooves, I am the love goddess here!” Cadance whined.
“Fine you do that sweetie, and I will set up shop in Ponyville with Twilight.”
Turning towards the chariots they were all gone. “Ok note to self ‘Tia really needs to get laid. All aboard for Ponyville, come close, don’t be shy. I don’t bite, this isn’t a lie.” Sora said gesturing everypony closer with her wings
“Tell that to the dragon.” I mumbled from behind her. I begin to laugh at the absurdity of it all. soon I am followed by Sora and then everypony else as we all gather together.
Sora teleports with everypony to Ponyville.
