The Royal Ascension of Listen Learn
The Royal Ascension of Listen Learn
I was sleeping. It was bedtime, and Mommy readed me two stories and Daddy singed me lullabies. I fell asleep. I was cold, like my blanket felled off. It dinnit fell off.
The window was open.
I wanted Mommy to come up and close it. I dinnit want to do it. It’s hard and I was too cold. I wanted to stay tucked in. I thinked Lissie might be cold too.
There was a pony in the room with us. I thinked it was Daddy, so I aks him to close the window.
I scared him. He turn around so fast and my sister Lissie was in his hooves.
Her name is Listen Learn but we call her Lissie. She’s really good at learning. She's better at it than me and she’s only a baby. Mommy says she’s gonna be good at school. Daddy says maybe she’s gonna be a teacher when she’s all growed up. I like her as just a baby. She’s fun to play with.
I was so scared but he put his hoof on my muzzle and he shushed me. He telled me not to scream. He said he’s not a bad pony. I never seen him but he was nice.
Oh. He dinnit tell me his name. His coat is like white but only a little. I don't know. It was just a little bit dark but our night light maked it a little bit bright. And his mane is white. His eyes are blue. His eyes are so pretty. They’re just like the sky.
And then he smiled at me and I wasn't scared anymore.
He telled me don’t be scared, but I telled him I wasn’t scared. He says I'm shaking. But I was shaking 'cause I was cold. I telled him that.
He said he was not cold, 'cause flying all day for the princesses warms him up. And he was so warm.
I aks him if he really knows the princesses and he said yeah. He aks me if I like the princesses and I said yeah. He said the princesses sent him to take Lissie because they want to make her a princess too.
I was so happy that I start being loud and he has to cover my muzzle again. He got in the bed on top of me and he was so warm. Really warm. That maked me feel good.
I said I want to be a Princess too and I aks him if I can. He said Princess ‘Elesta and Princess Luna want Lissie. I think 'cause she’s so good at learning. She’s so smart. She’s gonna be a good princess.
But I got so sad 'cause I want to be a princess too, and I cried. Just a little. I’m not a baby. But he said don’t cry and be quiet. He said… do you want to be a princess too and I said yeah. But he said they want her and he can’t take us both.
But then he smiled and he said I can be his princess, so I feeled a lot better. And then he telled me to be very quiet and don’t make a sound. He move my blanket and he putted my pillow on my head and aks me to hold it on my muzzle. But I peeked.
His eyes maked me really happy. They looked blue like the sky. I love the clouds and the sky and the—
Oh. His tongue maked my filly parts feel really warm, and it got me all wet. I thought it was gross, ‘cause only puppies and babies like Lissie lick things, but then it feeled really good and now it's my favorite.
Then he pulled my hindlegs. He pulled them really far. It hurt a little.
Then his colt parts went into my filly parts and that hurt a lot but he pushed the pillow on me until I stop crying.
He left them there like that and he kissed my forehead and it was just like Mommy does it. He telled me I’m brave. I feeled better.
Then he moved them. His colt parts. It was really weird. It hurt for a bit and it smelled weird. I thought he was going to pull me off the bed 'cause he was so big he got stucked and he coulna pull them out like he wanted to. And then he pushed me, and that hurt more, but every time he did it it hurt less and feeled betterer and betterer.
He just kept doing that and then he did it really fast. Sometimes the bed maked a noise and he stopped going fast. Then he did it again.
It just kept feeling so warm and my body was shaking all by itself but not because I was cold. My chest and my head was so warm. He was so warm too.
I wasn’t scared either. I’m his princess. He telled me so when he did it.
And then my tummy hurt like a tummy ache but it feeled so good too and I was being loud and I fell asleep.
When I waked up again I was tucked in. It was different from when Mommy and Daddy do it. My pillow was wet and it smelled like the smell like when he was inside me, but way more. I think I slobbered on it when I was asleep. I do that sometimes. Mommy hates that. My muzzle was sticky. There was blood under my blanket too but I think it was a ascident 'cause he was so nice and I think he dinnit meant to so it’s okay.
Oh. Then he smiled at me. He had my sister again.
I aks him if I could come too, but he said no. He said he could only carry one of us because I think he said he was tired after dinner but he wants dessert. I wanted dessert too but Daddy made a cherry tart and I ate it and my tummy hurt. But he left me a present. He said it was a magic present and I could unwrap it in a few months. It was a gooey thing. He left it in my filly bits, but the guards found it. They took it away. They stole it.
Mommy says he stole something from me too, but I don’t think he did. She telled me what a vigity is and a innoncence but I don’t know what it means. I think I dinnit have one. I thinked she means Lissie but Mommy says no. But he dinnit steal Lissie. He just took her away to be a princess. That’s good.
Lissie looked really happy too but she was still asleep. I wanted to give her a hug but my hindlegs was still asleep too. My filly parts hurt. I coulna get out of bed.
So I waved and I said bye.
Then he flew out the window to go home to the castle. I cried a little 'cause I missed her already and I missed him and I wish I was going too but I was so happy too 'cause Lissie’s gonna be a princess!
Then I waked up when Mommy came up the stairs. I said good morning. She looked happy until I telled her about him. Then she was angry and I think she was scared. That was so scary. Mommy's not scared of anything. Daddy's scared of bugs. Mommy yelled at me. Then she saw Lissie was gone and she just yelled at the bed a lot and she cried so much. Daddy cried too. I dinnit, though. I’m a big girl and I only cry when I’m really sad.
They cried so much, like babies. They were really sad. They don’t like that she’s a princess now. They telled me it's a lie. I think they want her to come home.
I miss her too. I’m so happy for her, though. I want to tell everypony at school that she’s a princess. Mommy telled me yesterday I can’t go to school. She says it’s not—
Yesterday.
It was yesterday.
What’s three years? How many days is three years?
What’s a thousand?
That’s too many days. It was yesterday.
Um. It wasn’t yesterday. It was the day before yesterday, and the day before that he took Lissie. ‘Cause yesterday I seen the pictures. Daddy dinnit want me to, but I did. The pictures of that filly they found in the woods. That isn’t Lissie. Lissie's face isn't all broken and she don’t have a big hole in her filly bits like I do. Her eyes are white and blue, not gray. Mommy and Daddy have to stop saying she’s theirs. I feel so sad for that filly’s mommy and daddy. They must miss their filly a lot and now Mommy and Daddy are trying to take her because they miss Lissie so much. Mommy and Daddy are the ones stealing a filly, not him. He just took her away.
Doctor…
Do you think he’ll take me too?
Do you think he’ll bring me another present?
I hope he does.
I want to feel like a princess again.
