My Princessby EbonyPonyChaptersThe LetterThe PreparationsThe ReactionsThe ProclomationThe Letter"Mail's here!" Apple Bloom yelled from inside the barn. Applejack became giddy with excitement. Could it be Goldie Delicious? she wondered. Goldie was always sending little trinkets from her over-stuffed house. They were always the funniest little things. "What'd we get?" Applejack asked, breathing semi-hard from running to the barn so fast. "Oh my...Princess?" Granny Smith said, stopping at a crème colored envelope. "What is it?" Apple Bloom squealed. She was obsessed with the princess, and wanted to meet her terribly. "By order of the Royal Guard, and Her Highness, Princess Rarity, the Land of Equestria will be holding a Royal Ball. All mares and stallions in the land are requested to attend, if they see it fit, as Princess Rarity will select an eligible bachelor to wed at the ball. The ball will be held on March 17, and will begin promptly at seven 'o'clock. Thank you for your time. The Royal Adviser, Celestia" Granny read. Applejack was taken aback. The princess is going to be married? She would never admit it, but she had always had the tiniest little crush on the princess. Apparently, it ran in the family. "OHHHHHH! Big Mac! you could get married to the princess! And ten she and I would be SISTERS!!!" Apple Bloom squealed. Big McIntosh blushed until his cheeks were darker than his crimson coat. "Ah, yyep," he uttered softly. "Can we go Granny? Can we, PLEASE?" Apple Bloom begged. "Well, I suppose if y'all get all yer jobs done, and can find some decent clothes, then I don't see why not," Granny said, a smile growing on her face. "YAY!!!!!!" Apple Bloom yelled, running towards the orchard. "I'll start buckin' right now so I'll be ready when the ball gets closer!" "Not so fast, sugarcube," Applejack yelled. "I got the buckin' under control. You need to start paintin' the flower pots like you told me you were gonna do, alright?" "Alright sis." As AJ started to work, she couldn't help but notice that she didn't really want to get her jobs done. She really didn't want to see her childhood crush get married to some prissy noblepony. Author's Note Hey, I know these chapters are super short, and I'm really sorry. This is my first fanfiction and I'm still not very good at writing lots of descriptive language. Thanks for sticking with it! Stay beautiful! ~EP The PreparationsRarity was perched at her balcony, waiting for the delivery carriages to arrive. She stared at the earth, so beautiful in its tranquility. Sometimes, she would go into town dressed as a peddler, and observe the ponies in their natural state. they seemed content to her, which was quite a good thing. She tried to be the fairest princess she could possibly be. A brown cart pulled by a red stallion wheeled through the entrance at full speed. Rarity headed down towards the front lawn to greet the delivery and sign a paper. As Rarity approached, she noticed the pony running the cart was an orange mare with a brown hat on. A very attractive mare if I do say so myself she thought. What am I thinking? She pushed the thought away, but she couldn't help the lingering feeling of wanting to be closer to her. "Your Highness," the pony bowed. Rarity blushed. What a cute southern accent. "Oh. please. You really don't have to call me that. Please, call me Rarity?" she pleaded. For some reason, she needed to be more comfortable with this beautiful mare. "Umm... May I at least call you Princess Rarity?" she asked. Rarity smiled. "Of course, darling..." Was that a blush? Did she just blush because I called her darling? She did! Rarity smiled, feeling pleased with herself. Maybe she wasn't the only pony with these feelings. "So are all of he snacks ready?" she asked, realizing she had a job to do. "Oh... umm... yes. We have all of the apple pies, fritters, and cupcakes picked up from Sugar Cube Corner. The cakes will be here in a short while, and the plain apples are in the cooler," the mare said, her cheeks turning a darker red than her cutie mark. "Was there anything else you needed?" Your name Rarity thought, though she didn't say it out loud. "No thank you. That will be all," she replied. "Yes You- I mean Princess Rarity," she smiled sheepishly, and began to turn the cart around. "Will I be seeing you at the ball that evening?" she asked. "Maybe. I'll probably be there for a short while," she answered. Rarity smiled. "Until then," she announced, and they were off. The Reactions"Did she really ask you? She actually wanted to know if you were going?!" Apple Bloom practically screamed. Applejack didn't want to brag, but she couldn't help feeling like the happiest mare in Equestria. Although her family thought she wanted to be the princess's friend, Applejack secretly wanted something a little deeper than that. She was planning to come out to them tomorrow. Although now might be a good time... "Yeah. I mean it's not like it was a duper big deal, bu-" "OF COURSE it's a big deal! I'm practically sisters-in-law with royalty!" Apple Bloom squealed. Applejack froze. `"What do you mean... sister-in-law..." she stared. "Well AJ, it's not like it's a huge secret that you have a crush on Princess Rarity," Granny Smith started. Applejack stared at Apple Bloom, Granny, and Big Mac individually. "So you know that I'm..." "Honeybun, we've known since you were just a little filly. You never liked them boys much. But it's alright. I don't think it really matter if you date a stallion, or one a them mares, ya hear?" Granny voiced. AJ was getting teary-eyed. She hugged her whole family until the tears stopped. "So this princess, is she gonna be good enough for my special little mare?" Granny giggled. AJ hiccuped, "GRANNY!" she squealed. Laughing filled the room. "I'm just sayin'. Don't want no filly dating my little apple if she ain't gonna be loyal." AJ smiled. "Thanks Granny. I'm gonna go see Pinkie. She was gonna help me pick out an outfit. Author's Note Sorry this was such a short piece. I don't really know what it's like to come out to your family, even if it is an accepting one (still in the closet) Please feel free to give me any editing tips you feel necessary. I need all the help I can get my hooves on Stay Beautiful! ~EP The Proclomation"Princess Rarity!" a voice called through the hallway. Rarity sighed. What now? "Yes?" she questioned, already growing impatient. Se looked the guard over once. Quite handsome actually. "The Royal Adviser has requested that you visit her in her drawing room immediately, Your Highness," he breathed. She huffed indignantly. Why must she go there now? "Very well. You shall accompany me to the drawing room," she grinned. He smiled. "I would have it no other way, Princess." She took his hoof as he escorted her to Celestia's favorite room. Celestia sat behind her desk, reading over a document. As Rarity stepped into the room, Celestia began to bow. "There will be no need for that. When we are not in public, we are mere friends." Celestia nodded, and began to pick up the document she was looking at when Rarity had first entered. "As you know, throughout the many years that Equestria has seen queens, every one of them has had a husband to help rule," Celestia began. "Since you have yet to accept any noble's question of even something as simple as a date, I have decided to take matters into my own hooves." At this, Rarity became a ball of rage. "I will NOT have you picking my husband as if you were picking my next dress! I told you that in good time I would find somepony that I loved that loved me back. I REFUSE your help on this!" Celestia smiled a warm, knowing smile, and Rarity became confused. "I knew you would react that way, so i chose a little bit different route. we shall hold a Royal Ball. Any, and all ponies, even commoners, may attend, if they wish so. There will be many nobleponies there who would gladly take your hoof in marriage. My one request is this; you must choose a suitor, and accept his hoof if he does, indeed, ask. Do we have a deal?" Celestia asked. Rarity's head was spinning so fast, she wasn't sure she could keep it together much longer. "I believe we do," Rarity stated, and with that she left. Author's Note Hey you guys! Thank you so much for reading My Princess. This is actually the first fanfiction I've ever written (That I've let anyone see anyways) so please give me feed back! Stay Beautiful! ~EP
