Celestia

Today, would hopefully be a good day. It already was a good day, I mean, but I would like it to be a better day. I made my way through the castle. Nodding and giving a polite hello to everpony I passed. I found myself in front of the heavily locked door to the forbidden library. My horn lit the dark hallway. A magical aura formed in the air in front of me, it quickly changed shape and size into a key. It formed a small, golden, transparent, key. The key gently moved into the lock on top of the metal door. It twisted to my right unlocking the first lock. Then the key extracted itself and then reformed into a differently shaped key. There were 3 locks on the metal door. The second key was larger than the first, so the magical aura changed in size too. It went gently into the next lock, turned and was extracted. It finally took the final shape, now of sort of a very small key. Much smaller than even the first. Once the last lock was unlocked the aura vanished. I gently opened the door, to be greeted by an ocean of dust. I simply gave a small wave of my horn and then a large gust of wind flooded the library clearing the dust and ruffling many of the scrolls on each shelf.  I stopped the wind and walked in. I quickly scanned over the shelves looking for a book with my name on it.

I fond a black leather bound book. I removed it and blew a thick layer of dust off the front cover. Revealing my name at the bottom. I smiled at the little evil book.


That moment you realize you're not quite the same.

"Lunaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" I groaned. "Lunnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

She burst back in the bedroom "WHAT!?" she screamed.

"Can I have an iced tea?" I asked politely with a grin.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" She screamed to the ceiling leaving the room and slamming the door behind her. I heard screaming down the hall. "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM IF HE CALLS FOR ME AGAIN!"

I decided to say something. "I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU TRY LUNA!"

I heard her scream as she walked down the stairs "GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!".

Celestia opened the door. "I'm gone for ten minutes and you have Luna about to strangle you." she said with a smile.

I chuckled "She should go into anger management with that special therapist Scarlet Sheen. I hear he's good at his job." I joked.

"Very funny. Do you wish to stand?" She asked, hopefully knowing the obvious answer.

"Yeah." I said unsure of what her response would be. "Why are you asking? Did you bring any super-duper pain meds. The ones my doctor gave me are complete crud. They just make me loopy and not in my right mind."

"Sadly, I didn't bring anything that could make the pain fade or temporarily go away. I have something that could make it go away forever" She said with a smirk.

I thought a second. "What's the catch?"

"Ummm............well you'd have to..........become an Alicorn"

"What?" I asked unable to hear her when she used a whisper.

"You'd have to let me......turn you into an.......Alicorn." She said in an unsure whisper. I still had trouble hearing her, I was able to make out everything before the final word.

"What did you say? You'd have to turn me into a what?!" I asked at first thinking she had said "Alligator.".

"An............ALICORN!" She just about shouted.

I was caught off guard by this. It was if my brain took the words she had said and blanked them out like a peice of paper being burnt to hide it's information.

"What?" I asked.

"I'd have to turn you into an Alicorn!" She repeated.

This time I didn't blank it out.

"Me?! Y-you'd turn me into an Alicorn? How? Is that even possible?" I asked now trapped in a state of total dis-belief.

"It's an old spell I banned. It's completely possible, I banned the spell so we wouldn't have an more Alicorns. I decided since, you were going to in the Royal Family you might as well become an Alicorn, otherwise a certain level authority would be lost. And we'd always have the safety for you, you know....during......intercourse." Celestia explained clearly finding a slight uncomfortableness in using the word intercourse.

"Is the spell safe?" I asked not wanting to injure myself further.

"Yes, In the description, I wrote '...even though this spell is completely safe, it is not to be used. Anypony that uses it, will be transformed into a full-fledged Alicorn. Their magical and physical strength will be at Alicorn level.' so I always double checked the facts on these dangerous spells or just banned spells such as this one. If I wrote safe in in a description of one of these spells it's safe." Celestia explained levitating the book so I could see the cursive writing inside. It was in a language I could understand.

"So this wouldn't hurt?" I asked.

"Not even a slight feeling of pain or tingling." She said with a smile. "So, what do you say?"

"You're asking me if I want to let you turn me into an Alicorn, using a spell that hasn't been used in a thousand years? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................eh, sure." I said nonchalantly.

"Really?! Come! We do this now!" Celestia exclaimed happily just about bouncing up and down..

"Whoa!" I shouted as I was lifted off the bed by magic and was immediately hovered to the door. "Where am I going?"

"The sky! We need some space for this!" Celestia said.


"CEELLLESSSSSSSTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIAAAAAA!" I screamed as I held onto Celesita's neck with my fore hooves. "MAYBE I NEVER MENTIONED THIS.....BUT I HATE HEIGHTS!" I screamed into her ear as we soared past clouds and pegasi.

"Don't panic! Just hold on tight!" She shouted back.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as wind hit my face.

It was amazing at how fast she could fly. I held on tightly. Suddenly there was a deafening 'BOOM' as we broke the sound barrier. I just screamed on.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........*cough cough* ack! ACK!.......I...........I SWALLOWED A BUG!"

"Keep your mouth closed and breath through your nose. You might want to hold your breath within the next few seconds! We'll be closing in on the moon!" she said loudly.

I tried to obey. When I began to see the stars and the moon got bigger I wanted to scream, but the air was rather thin.

"Okay..................Alright, Seethe! Let go!" Celestia ordered.

"WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT?!" I screamed in response.

"Let go! Don't worry, I'll catch you!' she said.

"If I die.........I'm going to haunt your Royal rear!" I said. Then I let go and felt gravity pull me down back towards the castle. I rolled over in mid air as I fell. I saw Canterlot far below me and screamed.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed. Suddenly my descent was stopped and I was suspended in mid air.  "Celestia?!" I screamed.

"Don't worry. You're not dead!" Celestia said. I turned in mid air to see Celestia's horn glowing.

A bolt of golden yellow magic came from her horn coming straight at me.

"AHHHHHHHH...............!" My screaming was stopped and..........Celestia had lied! There was a tingling sensation!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Celestia you liar!" I screamed.
