Aborted Romance

Doctor Whooves peered through the castle doors. “Hm. This place is interesting. Very… white. Not much else to say.” He continued on his way, checking through his wallet.

“I hope this is enough. Meeting the princess is a very big deal, I must offer her whatever I can,” he said, looking around. “Now, which way was it to the throne room again…?” He made his way through the castle, but he couldn’t seem to find her anywhere. After a few minutes, he left the castle, and bumped into a little filly who he didn’t recognize at all a few steps out.

“Oh, I’m so sorry about that, miss...uh, what brings you here little one?” the Doctor asked.

The little filly lowered her head. “I came here to see if the princesses would give me something to eat. I haven’t had anything in ages…“

“Oh, well, don’t worry about that,” Doctor Whooves said, pulling out a fair few coins from his bag. “Here, you can have these. They were supposed to go to the princess, but you deserve them more.

“Oh, thank you mister!” she said, running up and hugging him.

The Doctor looked around, and awkwardly hugged her back. “R-Right...well, I best be going then…”

The filly didn’t respond, instead just blew a raspberry and giggled.

“Right. Come here you!” The Doctor jumped on her, tickling her stomach. She laughed loudly. Sooner or later, her voice started to get a bit deeper and very similar…

The Doctor looked up to see Princess Celestia lying on the floor, giggling the same way the girl did. “Ah, I haven’t done that in ages,” she said calmly.

“P-P-P-Princess Celestia?” The Doctor said, his face flaming, he jumped back.

“Right on time, Doc,” she said, winking.

The Doctor, however, was just freaking out. “I’m terribly sorry about that princess! If I had known it was you, I—”

“Not to worry. Why else would I change into a little filly? I haven’t been tickled like that in ages. Plus, I brought out another side of you,” she said. “Now, state your business,” she said sternly, only you could tell by the smile she didn’t mean it.

The Doctor stepped closer. “I don’t know. You tell me.”

Princess Celestia smirked a little. “That’s more like it.”
