Chapter 1: Morning Nourishments

***Chapter 1: Morning Nourishment***

The sound of ruffling papers drifts through the corridors. It is an irritating sound. Paper rubs against paper. It slides across the wooden surface of Princess Celestia's desk. The princess... Well, she was having a rather rough morning, to put it lightly.

It began with the shenanigans of her younger sister. Princess Luna failed to lower the moon on time, putting Celestia off schedule.

Now, the elder sister was chin deep in papers, duties of the royal kind. Celestia sighs as she signs her signature on another defense proposal, marking the paper legitimate and legal.

"Your majesty..." A soft voice says.

The voice resonates from the door that lead into her office. Celestia raises her head to see who the voice belonged to. The speaker of the voice was a small unicorn, a servant. In the cloud of his magic, there was a mug filled with a steaming brown liquid.

"Ah... Good morning, Blackstar." Celestia says to the unicorn, managing a weak smile. "Is... that for me?"

The unicorn nods quickly as he trots forward, delivering the coffee to the princess. Celestia takes the offered mug with an obvious eagerness. She quickly gulps down the creamy, brown liquid. The warmth of the coffee soothes the princess' throat, reviving her physically and mentally.

"Mmmmm..." She moans as she sets the mug down on her desk. "Thank you, Blackstar. Your services are always appreciated."

The unicorn gives Celestia a gracious bow before turning to exit the room. Celestia, too caught up in her work, does not notice when another pony arrives at the door. Finally, a gentle knocking catches her attention.

"Blackstar, are you still here?" The princess asks.

Blackstar does not answer. Instead, Twilight Sparkle steps into the office.

"Good morning, princess." Twilight says with a bright smile.

At last, Celestia looks up, and her glum face breaks into a huge grin.

"Twilight Sparkle... I was not aware you were coming... My office is in such a poor state. I would have made an attempt to fix things up around here, had I known. What can I do for you?"

"I did not mean to interrupt whatever you are doing..." Twilight says uneasily.

Celestia quickly shakes her head as she stands up from her desk.

"Oh, no, Twilight. You aren't interrupting anything at all." Celestia says, motioning for Twilight to follow her out of the office and into the corridor. "I am in dire need of a break... Come. Let us make for the dining hall. Perhaps we could get something to eat together?"

Twilight smiles at her as the begin making their way down the corridor.

"That sounds perfect. I have a lot to talk to you about."

Celestia cocks her head.

"Oh? What about, Twilight?"

The hooves clopping against the tile floor echoes though the majestic corridors, adding to the silence that followed the princess' question. After a moment of hesitation, Twilight gives a suppressed sigh.

"It's these..." Twilight says, flexing her new wings.

"What, your wings?" Celestia asks. "Twilight, I know learning how to fly can be difficult, but these things tend to take time. Practice and patience are the keys to successful learning. You should know that better than any pony here."

Twilight shakes her head.

"No... It's not that, princess... Rainbow Dash has been teaching me how to use my wings. It's the title that is giving me a hard time..."

They reach the grand dinning hall. Most of the room was dark, and only a few tables were lit with dim candles as servants maintained them.

"Will you ready us a table, please?" Celestia asks the nearest servant.

In a few short moments, a small table is outfitted with a guilded cloth, brass candles, and polished plates with silver utensils. Twilight takes the seat opposite to the princess as glasses of water are delivered to them.

"Your title?" Celestia asks at last, taking a sip from her glass. "What is wrong with your title, Twilight? Are you not happy as a princess?"

Twilight's eyes widen.

"No, Princess Celestia... I didn't mean it like that. I am, really. Nothing brings me greater joy than spreading the influence of friendship across Equestria, but..."

"But what?" Celestia asks, frowning.

Twilight bites her lower lip. She greatly feared offending the princess.

"I didn't want to be a celebrity..." Twilight says at last.

Celestia's frown dissipates instantly.

"Before you made me into a princess, I was just another mare in Ponyville. I had my friends, and that was all I ever needed. Now, I can hardly set one hoof out of the Crystal Palace without being hounded by ponies waiting to see me, waiting to see the 'new princess'..."

Celestia now understood what was bothering her most faithful student. She reaches a hoof across the table and places it on Twilight's.

"You are a strong and capable mare, Twilight Sparkle..." Celestia says in her low, motherly tone. "I would not have given you the wings of an alicorn if I did not believe you could handle the paparazzi."

Celestia then cracks a silly smile.

"Plus, they do look quite fetching on you. I'll bet you have had many stallion suitors knocking on your palace doors."

Twilight's cheeks flush bright red as she tried to avoid the princess' gaze.

"No... It's just the mailmare every morning..."

Celestia's silly grin grows.

"Oh? So it is mares who come knowing at your palace doors? Twilight Sparkle, I had no idea you were into mares..."

Twilight's cheeks now burned with embarrassment.

"I am not into mares!" Twilight hisses in a hushed tone.

"Oh, calm down, Twilight." Celestia says sweetly as she strokes the purple mare's mane. "I only meant to tease you. Let me have a little fun. It has been quite a dreadful morning in that office, you know."

Twilight nods as she takes several large gulps of water from the glass in front of her. Celestia closely watches her every move, all the way up until Twilight sets the glass back down.

"You know what, Twilight? I'd say a trip is long overdue." Celestia says.

Twilight cocks her head.

"What? Do you mean the kinds of trips we would take when I was a filly?"

"Exactly." Celestia answers. "We have both worked out tails off, and a vacation is just what we need."

Twilight can't stop herself from smiling.

"A... va-vacation?" Twilight asks.

"Just you and me..." Celestia says. "What do you say, Twilight? Shall we take the weekend off and venture out a little?"

Celestia doesn't need to wait for Twilight's reply. The huge grin on Twilight's face tells Celestia everything she wants to hear. Twilight's smile was practically screaming YES.

"YES!" Twilight screams at last. "Oh, Princess Celestia, that sounds amazing!"

"I thought you might like the idea." Celestia says with a hearty chuckle. "You will have the rest of the week to ready your things in Ponyville. Then, return here. By then, I will have a destination planned."

Twilight jumps up from her chair and throws her hooves around the princess. Celestia returns the embrace, holding Twilight tightly.

"I'm going to get started right away!" Twilight exclaims as she pulls away from Celestia's embrace.

With those final words ringing in Celestia's ears, she watched as Twilight dashes out of the dinning hall. When she is gone, Celestia's stomach growls violently as she realizes she is still hungry.

Chapter 2: Flying High

***Chapter 2: Flying High***

The week was nearing its end. As promised, Twilight returns to the Canterlot Palace with a few bags in tow. She is immediately greeted by Celestia.

"Good afternoon, princess." Twilight says with a cheery grin.

"A wonderful afternoon to you as well, princess." Celestia replied with a noticeable 'wink'. "Are you ready to depart?"

Twilight nods as she looks through her toiletry bag.

"I believe I am, but you still haven't mentioned where it is we are going."

"Forgot that little detail, did I?" Celestia asks jokingly. "Where we are going is a very exciting place. There will be many sights to see, many foods to eat, and most importantly, beauty beyond that of the city of Canterlot. Twilight, I have emptied out weekend of all plans for a trip to Manehattan."

Twilight's eyes widen.

"M-Manehattan? Really? Oh, Princess Celestia, that sounds amazing!"

The purple mare throws her hooves around Celestia's neck, pulling her into a friendly embrace. A friendly embrace it is, to Twilight, but to Celestia, it is something more. The princess takes in every feeling from Twilight's warm body pressing against her own, and her mane... Celestia takes in a deep, subtle 'sniff', smelling the sweet aroma coming from Twilight's mane.

"Twilight, is that... a new perfume?" Celestia asks as the purple mare pulls away.

Twilight's cheeks flush dark red as she runs her hoof through her mane.

"I didn't think you would notice... It was a gift from Rarity." Twilight explains. "I thought I might try it out... You know, for the occasion..."

"Well, I think it smells lovely." Celestia says, giving her student a warm smile.

Two servants pass by, and the quickly collect Twilight's bags. Twilight doesn't want the servants to carry her bags for her, but Celestia insisted. Twilight watches as the two unicorns work together to lift her luggage.

"Twilight, this trip is for us. I will not have you lift a hoof for anything." Celestia promises. "Now, we must prepare to board."

"Board?" Twilight asks. "Board what?"

Princess Celestia casually nods her head towards the landing pad. Twilight follows her mentor's gaze until she sees it. Her jaw drops. It was an air ship, a very big air ship.

"What, did you think we were going to walk all the way to Manehattan?" Celestia asks with a hearty chuckle. "We will travel like princesses."

Twilight eagerly follows Celestia inside the air ship. Once she is on board, Twilight is immediately attended to by the staff of servants that ran the air ship.

"This way, to your room, your majesties." The air ship's captain says with a gracious bow.

"Room?" Twilight whispers to the princess.

Celestia nods as she ushers Twilight along, after the captain.

"Yes, Twilight. The trip ahead will be a long one. We will be spending one night on this air ship. That is why I have spared no expense for you."

"P-Princess... I don't know what to say..." Twilight mutters softly.

Celestia chuckles lightly as she brings her hoof up to Twilight's face, caressing her cheek.

"You needn't say anything, Twilight. It is your speechlessness that tells my how appreciative you are. Come, let us hurry along. The captain wants us settled in before we launch."

On the way to the royal chambers, Twilight's head is on a swivel. Everywhere she looks, there are dining rooms, state rooms, and entertainment galleys. A Royal Guard gives Twilight a gracious bow as she passes by him. Twilight simply blushes and quickens her pace.

"Here we are, your majesties." The captain says as he opens the doors.

The room is a large one, and it is breathtakingly beautiful. Two large beds occupy the center of the room with a single night stand separating them. Around the room, there are dressers and cabinets. After a quick inspection, Twilight and Celestia both come to the conclusion that they are meant for snacks. Candles burn everywhere Twilight looks. The scent emanating from them was subtle, but relaxing.

"What do you think, Twilight?" Celestia asks, giving the purple mare a playful 'nudge'. "Will this fit all of your needs?"

Still at a loss for words, Twilight simply nods as she walks over towards the beds.

"Your bags will be delivered shortly, your majesties. Until then, get yourselves settled. If you would like, you could come to the bridge to see the launch."

With those words hanging in the air, the air ship's captain tips his hat and exits the room. After a few moments of silence, Twilight finds her voice.

"I... I would like to see the launch." Twilight says.

"It is quite a spectacular sight, Twilight." Celestia assures her. "I have used this ship for many journeys and voyages, and the launch never gets old."

Twilight chuckles as she follows the princess out of the room.

"Neither do you, Princess Celestia." Twilight says, giggling uncontrollably now. "You look as good as you always have."

"Hmm... With age comes the wisdom of maintaining beauty..." Celestia says as she tries to hide her blushing cheeks.

The compliment makes Celestia's chest flutter. She constantly darts her eyes in Twilight's direction to see if the purple mare was looking back at her, but Twilight was not. Twilight's eyes are fixed ahead as she follows the crew to the bridge. When the princesses arrive on the bridge, every pony gives them a quick salute before returning to their duties.

"Release all primary gas valves." The captain orders. "Prepare the lighters to fire on my mark."

It was interesting to see the crew at work.

"Fire the lighters... now."

A thunderous sound shakes the ceiling of the bridge as the balloon is filled with hot gas.

"Sir, we have achieved lift-off." A crew member says.

"Excellent. Adjust our heading to thirty degrees north-east. We make for Manehattan."

Celestia leans over to Twilight until her snout is just a breath away from Twilight's neck.

"What did I tell you. Is it not spectacular to watch?" She whispers.

Twilight looks out of the port-side windows. The ground below was quickly growing smaller as the air ship climbed higher into the sky. Several pegasus guards flew alongside the hull of the air ship, guiding it out of Canterlot airspace.

"Sir, we are clear." The crew member says. "Adjusting course for Manehattan."

Celestia and Twilight back out of the bridge and leave the professionals to do their jobs.

"Should we go back to the room?" Twilight asks.

"I was actually thinking about stopping by the dining room. It is long past the normal lunch hour, and I am quite famished. Would you like to join me?"

At the word 'lunch', Twilight's own stomach growls violently. It is past her lunch time, too."

"I would love to join you." Twilight says, giving the princess a sweet smile.

Again, Celestia's chest flutters, and she turns her head to hide the red hue in her cheeks. Together, the princesses travel into the belly of the air ship to where a meal fit for royalty awaits them.

Chapter 4: To The Stars

***Chapter 4: To The Stars***

Those three words ring in Twilight's head like bells. Her entire body grows numb to all feeling. A feeling except for the gentle touch of the princess' lips against her own. Celestia kisses the frozen Twilight over and over again. Each time, she whispers those three words before kissing her again.

"I love you..." Celestia says softly just before mashing her lips against Twilight's. "I have always loved you..."

Twilight's prolonging silence begins to worry Celestia. At last, she ceases her barrage of kisses and cups Twilight's cheeks in her hooves.

"Twilight, please speak. Do you have no response to my true feelings? I beg of you, please say something..."

After a few moments, Twilight moves her lips. Celestia watched as Twilight's lips part. Twilight's tongue passes through her lips and rubs against the lower one, almost as though she was tasting the princess' saliva on her own mouth. Then, she looks up at Celestia.

"You... kissed me..." She mutters. "You kissed me... a lot..."

Celestia nods her head.

"I did indeed, Twilight. It seemed to be the best way to show you how I really feel about you, when my voice failed me."

Celestia closes her eyes as she leans forward to kiss Twilight again. This time, the princess' lips land on Twilight's cheek. It was a tender kiss, one of a courtly romance.

"You... You love me?" Twilight asks as Celestia pulls away.

Celestia grins as she nods her head.

"Of course, I do. How could I not?"

"But... Why me?"

Celestia gives her a look that resembles embarrassment. She looks back and forth between the bed and Twilight.

"You have always meant the world to me, Twilight, ever since you proved your skills as a unicorn... When I took you under my wing, I saw you as something of a protege. Only recently have I begun to see you as something... more."

"You're the ruler of Equestria." Twilight points out, still rubbing her cheek where Celestia left her lips. "You could have any pony you want... Why chose me?"

Celestia smiles sadly at her.

"It... It began when you defeated the evil within my sister, Nightmare Moon. Not only did you save Equestria and my subjects, but you saved me as well. After, I watched you grow with increasing... interest. Your kindheartedness, your adventurous spirit, and your... your beauty are but a few of the many attributes in you that I find attractive..."

Twilight's chest instantly feels lighter at the princess' kind words. Her mind is so focused on the compliments that she does not notice Celestia moving closer.

"Only now... have I found the courage to do what I am doing now..."

Twilight's numbness subsides, but the feeling is replaced by another, one she does not recognize. It feels... exceptionally good. Twilight lets out several whimpers as the pleasurable feelings grow.

"P-Princess..." Twilight gasps. "Wh-What are... you... you doing?"

"I am showing you the happiness you deserve..." Celestia whispers into Twilight's mouth.

Twilight looks down her body. What she sees, it looks wrong, but if feels... right. Twilight watches with increasing interest and curiosity as Celestia drives the tip of her hoof into her marehood.

"C-Celestia! Ah! It... It feels so- Ah! Please, don't- Ah! Don't stop..." Twilight yells as the feelings of pleasure subdue her entire body.

She shakes uncontrollably as Celestia's hoof drives deeper and deeper into the folds of her soaking wet marehood. Twilight's screams of pleasure grow louder and louder by the passing of each second. To silence her, Celestia draws Twilight into deep kiss, muffling the sounds as Twilight screams into her mouth. The shaking of Twilight's body becomes violent as the sexual activities become more... passionate. Celestia forces Twilight's legs down to combat the erratic movements.

"Try to be still, my love..." Celestia whispers to Twilight before resuming the wet kiss.

The princess' words do little to soften the kicking of Twilight's thrashing legs. At last, Twilight lets out a shrill of a scream as she reaches her climax. Celestia feels it, the contracting of Twilight's marehood as her cum squirts out, soaking the princess' hoof and the bed sheets below. The kicking stops, and Twilight's body grows limp.

"Oh no... Don't you fall asleep on me just yet..." Celestia chuckles as she lowers herself to her prize.

She kisses Twilight's chin as she moves towards her student's marehood. She leaves a trail of kisses on her way down, causing Twilight to chuckle weakly. At last, Celestia reaches her prize. She takes in a deep 'sniff' as the thick aroma of sex fills her nose. The folds of Twilight's marehood glistens  in the candle light. Then, Celestia leans forward and licks the tender folds, sliding her tongue up and down the length of the slit. This extracts long moans from Twilight. A sharp 'gasp' escapes her lips as Celestia's tongue licks the clit at the top of her marehood.

"Oh... Mmmmmmmmm... Princess... I had... no idea I meant this... this much to you..." Twilight manages to say as Celestia continues to clean her marehood from the cum of her earlier orgasm.

Celestia chuckles as she swallows a mouthful of the purple mare's cum.

"And I had no idea of how... sweet you tasted..." Celestia says as she crawls up Twilight's body.

Twilight sighs with content as the princess wraps her inside her majestic, white wings.

"To think... I have felt this way for you ever since I was a filly..." Twilight mutters as she drifts of to sleep. "Only... I never knew it was love..."

Celestia's eyes widen.

"Wait, are you talking about me?" Celestia asks.

Twilight doesn't answer. Instead, the sound of gentle snoring replies to her question.

"Twilight, are you... Twilight, please answer. Were you saying you love me the same way I love you? Twilight?"

It is of no use. Twilight is fast asleep. Celestia decides to wait until she raises the sun before waking Twilight. She makes a quick circle around the room, blowing out the candles as she goes. With the light from the candles gone, only Luna's moon lit up the room from the windows at the back of the room. When she returns to the bed, Twilight's position as not changed. She smiles at the sleeping mare before sliding into the bed with her. There is no need for the second bed on the other side of the night stand. Tonight, under the light of the moon and Luna's shining stars, she sleeps with Twilight.

***TO BE CONTINUED***

Chapter 3: Seeking Advice

***Chapter 3: Seeking Advice***

Twilight is uncomfortable with the treatment she was receiving. She tries to be polite and accepts the aid of the servants, even though she doesn't need it.

True, she always had Spike to help her around the palace, but he was her assistant, not her servant.

"More water, your majesty?"

"No thank you... I have plenty, really." Twilight says as she tries to avoid making eye contact with the servant.

It is starting to get annoying, the treatment. With every sip Twilight takes from her glass, a servant is at the ready to refill it. Celestia notices the discomfort in Twilight's eyes, the silent call for help.

"That will be all." Celestia says to the servants. "Would you leave us, please?"

The servants quickly collect themselves and give the princesses a short bow.

"Of course, your majesties. Call when you need us." The staff leader says.

With those words hanging in the silent air, the servants retreat into the kitchen, leaving Twilight and Celestia alone at the dining table.

"Are you alright, Twilight?" Celestia asks, breaking the silence. "You seem... upset."

"I'm not, princess, I promise." Twilight says quickly. "I just... Don't you think this is all a bit much? The food, the air ship... I mean, if I didn't know you as well as I do now, I'd say you are trying to impress me."

Celestia stays quiet,

"This... is great. It really is, princess, but I thought this trip would be like the ones we used to take together when you first took me under your wing, just you and me."

Celestia exhales slowly as she prepares herself to speak.

"I... I see your point, Twilight, and I apologize for not seeing it sooner. I simply thought if I could show you the best of what royalty has to offer, you might find adjusting to your royal life to be a bit easier."

"I suppose a life like yours takes a few thousand years to get used to..." Twilight says harshly as she stands up from the table.

The words strike Celestia in a way that makes her chest hurt.

"W-Where are you going, Twilight?" She asks as the purple mare makes for the corridor.

"The room..." Twilight mutters. "I'm going to bed."

Celestia winces as the door slams shut, which causes the plates and forks to shudder. She sits in silence for a few moments, contemplating on what her next move should be. Then, she signals for the servants.

"Yes, your majesty?" The staff leader asks. "What is it you need?"

"I need some ink and parchment." Celestia requests.

Within moments, the items she requests arrive at the table. After a moment of thinking, Celestia begins to write.

*My dear sister, Luna,

I have come a cross a problem in my quest for Twilight Sparkle's heart. I have not told her how I truly feel, but I have made her quite upset with me due to my own actions. I am lost, and I do not know how to regain her favor. What can I do?

Celestia sends the letter, watching as the paper disappears into a thin, green mist. She doesn't have to wait long. A response from Luna arrives just moments after sending the initial letter. It reads:

*My dear sister, Celestia,

Whatever has been done to upset Twilight, I'm sure it can be undone. She looks up to you, more than you may realize. As for your true feelings, do not hide them! You must not hide your intentions any longer. If you truly love Twilight Sparkle, you must tell her. If you do not, she may find another pony to tell her those words. You must tell her, sister. I wish you the best of luck.

Celestia reads Luna's letter over and over again. Her younger sister's command replays in her mind like a broken record.

"You must tell her, Celestia..." The princess mutters to herself. "You... have to tell her... Tell her you love her..."

Celestia crumples the letter as she stands up from the table.

"Go after her, and tell her how you really feel..."

The princess continued to mutter to herself as she trots down the corridor. The royal chambers were at the end of the corridor. The door is slightly open. Celestia reaches for the door, but she hesitates at the last moment.

"You... You can do this..." She mutters as she reaches for the door again.

This time, she successfully manages to tap her hoof against it.

"Twilight?" Celestia asks softly, pushing the door further open. "May... I come in?"

Twilight was laying on her bed with her back facing the door.

"It's your air ship..." Twilight grumbles. "You can go wherever you please..."

"Though it is my ship, I still respect the privacy of my friends..." Celestia says with her motherly tone as she approaches Twilight.

Twilight remains motionless, even as Celestia sits on the edge of the bed.

"Twilight, I must confess something to you..." The princess says, her voice breaking. "I have... lied to you."

This gets Twilight's attention, causing the purple mare to sit upright in the bed.

"Wh-What do you mean?"

Celestia lets out a heaving sigh before continuing.

"When... I told you why I brought you on this ship to journey with me to Manehattan, I was not completely honest. It is true, that I want you to be the best princess you can be, that is not the real reason I orchestrated this trip. The real reason I brought you here... is... so I may tell you something I have always desired to tell you."

"What is it, princess?" Twilight asks.

Celestia bites her lower lip. Twilight's eyes are burning into her own. Though it is not hot, the princess sweats. Celestia finds that she is at a loss for words. She fails to speak.

"Princess?" Twilight asks again.

Celestia tries to speak, but her throat closes, and no words come out. Twilight looks back and forth between her mentor and the bed sheets. The silence is beginning to make her uncomfortable.

"If you have nothing to say, I will be going to bed, and-"

Twilight's sentence is cut off. At first, she does not know why. Then, she begins to feel the warmth on her lips. It feels really warm... and wet. Then, she realizes how close the princess' face is to her own. Her mind finally manages to form the word: kiss.

Celestia falls on top of Twilight, pressing her lips against those of the purple mare. Twilight doesn't resist, and she doesn't protest. After a few moments of locking lips, Twilight's eyes begin to close as the kiss deepens. When Celestia breaks the kiss, a thick strand of saliva connects their lips.

"Wow..." Twilight mutters. "I... I was not expecting that..."

Celestia smiles.

"The real reason I brought you here, was to tell you how I truly feel about you..." Celestia whispers into Twilight's ear. "I love you, Twilight Sparkle."
