Reborn

I had to hand it to Luna, she was one heck of a story teller. I mean, come on, there was no way that I of all people could be the reincarnation of a powerful enemy. I scoffed at the idea and laughed. "You have to be joking your majesty", I replied, "There is no way that I could be an enemy to equestria. I just don't have the right personality for the job".

She looked at me and then set a serious look on her face. "I'm afraid I am not, because you see, the marks on your coat prove it", she pointed to the blue lines running up and down my body. I looked at her with such dumbness that I was almost ready to believe her. I stuck my ground though. I couldn't be the next leader of the Elementals, I just couldn't. Could I?

"Alright !! Mystic Spirit, Celestia and I have talked and it has been decided", I heard a voice say from behind me. I turned to look who it was and it turned out to be princess Twilight.

"It has been decided that you will stay in the castle as my temporary protege until you learn to control the 'little' outbursts of your magic", she said. I looked at her like she was crazy. She didn't honestly expect me to stay in a ginormous castle like this, did she ?

"With all do respect your majesty, but I do not think I am suited nor capable to stay in the royal castle", I say politely and then bow to show my respect. Considering I grew up in a bookstore and now run one, I didn't think I was going to be able to handle it.

The princesses looked at me and then Twilight smiled. "Don't worry I felt the same way when I got my own castle", she said, "The halls feel to large and empty for one pony alone". I nodded in agreement and then sighed.

"Very well, I accept your invitation your majesties", I bowed to them and then they bowed back, surprising me. I looked at them with confusion before Celestia explained.

"Mystic Spirit, reincarnation of Lunar Spell, the leader of the first elementals, while you are here you are to be treated as a royal. As such, you will be the newest princess of equestria when you have completed your training with Princess Twilight", she proclaimed. I gawked at the princesses, how could they think that I was princess material ? I was just a unicorn and nevertheless that fact that I was the reincarnation of an ancient equestrian enemy, let alone the fact that it was the leader.

"I-I'm gonna be the newest what ?", I stuttered.

"The newest princess", Luna repeated, "the sixth alicorn princess of equestria".

I fainted.

My eyes fluttered open and I was staring in the face of a purple and green dragon.

"Aaaah!!!", I screamed, "help!!! There's a dragon in the castle!!!!".

The little dragon's eyes widened and he yelped. "Hey!! Hey!! Not so loud!!", he said, "It's okay!!! I'm Twilight's assistant!!!".

My eyes narrowed and then widened with recognition, how could I have not seen it ?

"I'm so sorry!!! I never meant any disrespect", I apologized, bowing on the ground. The dragon backed up and then scratched behind his ears.

"It's okay!! It's not like you would automatically know who I was", he said, blushing. "and besides, I'm only an assistant".I smiled and then stood up out of the bed, causing the sheets to wrap around my hooves and me to fall, muzzle straight onto the floor.

"Ouch", I said, rubbing my face. "That hurt". I heard a giggle and then turned to see spike who immediately covered his mouth and then blushed.

"Oh you're gonna pay for that, you little squirt", I said. My eyes narrowed and my mouth squished up to make a playful frown.

Spikes eye widened and I was in the zone. I giggled and spike ran behind the bed and dived underneath. Heh heh, there was nowhere for him to go now!! I had him trapped and there was no escaping my hooves of steel. I trotted silently from my side to the other side of the bed, slowly bending down and staring spike the dragon straight in the eyes. Those green slitted eyes widened with playful fear and I laughed. Maybe living here wouldn't be so bad!! I grabbed spike and he squirmed in my arms, causing us to fall on the bed and into a position that allowed me free access. i squinted my eyes and smiled, her comes the tickling!! Be prepared dragon!!!

I brought my hands down and spike immediately laughed. I was tickling him everywhere. On the sides, underneath his calves, his neck, the underside of his arms, behind his knees, and on his little feet and toes. He was literally the most ticklish person I had ever seen or met. I was about to tickle his sides again when none other then Twilight Sparkle walked into the bedroom. I was embarrassed. Here I was, straddling her assistant while tickling the daylights out of him and i was supposed to be acting and speaking like a royal, nevertheless I supposed to being treated like one. Twilight's face lit up and she covered her eyes. I blushed furiously and I immediately got my butt of of spike and rushed to the door, acting like what she had seen never even occurred.

"Umm, Princess ? Are we going to lessons now ?", I asked, trying to sound as normal as possible.

She looked up from behind her hoof and then turned around to face me, her cheeks still red from seeing our little excursion. "U-um yes, of course Mystic!!!".

Well this was going to be a long six months!!!!

Three months had passed and I had learned to control my magic very well, except for the occasional outburst that always sent me back a lesson. Spike and I were getting along great and he was my closest friend besides Twilight and the other princesses. Not to mention they were the only ones allowed to speak to me in that manner, looking back at Celestia's unnecessary order that no one was to speak to me in a personal manner other then the princesses and Spike. I was going to speak to Celestia about that but Twilight kept me so busy with the studies that I had never had the chance to ask her to lift it. I hoped the next three months didn't go as badly.

Another three months passed and I was completely finished with training. No more outbursts, no more uncontrollable magic, and specifically, I could go home and see my family and friends. I was surprised that Celestia had said that I could go home. When she said that I had looked at her like she was crazy, was she really letting me see my family and friends ? I couldn't believe no matter how many times I tried, there was just no possible way that I was going home. Even when Twilight, Spike, and I got onto the carriage and the pegasai guard members took off, I was really going to see my family ? I smiled triumphantly, I was going home!!!

"Mystic ?"

I turned to Twilight. "Yes princess ?"

She laughed and smiled. "There is no reason for you to be so formal. Remember, your coronation is in three weeks", she said, "I was just wondering if you were alright. You seem a little.....jumpy". She finished the sentence with a little hesitance. I wondered why she was so nervous, was I not prepared for this completely ? Or did she forget to teach me something ?

"No I'm alright. Thank you for asking though prince-er I mean Twilight!!", I said, taking in account what she had said before.

She looked relieved. "Oh ok, I was just worried about you", she said, "I happen to know very well that when your upset, your magic runs wild".

I giggled. "And we definitely don't want that happening", I commented, making Twilight relax some more.

"Alright!!! Let's go see your family!!!!", she said excitedly.

Well, this was going to be interesting!!!
