Equestria Girls: Through the Mirror

Eleanor's POV.
Wowsers! It's only been less than a day since Twilight became an Alicorn, and already we're getting ready for her first Princess Summit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous. I'm proud of my friend to earn this title. I just wish a certain somepony was patient enough that she would be able to earn this title herself. I guess you can't beat a river into submission, huh?

Twilight, the Girls, Spike and I took the Friendship Express to the Crystal Empire, where the Summit was taking place.

"Hoo-wee! Your very first Princess Summit!" Applejack smiled, "You must be over the moon, Twilight."

Twilight smiled back, "I am excited." Then she frowned, "But to be honest I'm a little nervous too."

"You're nervicited!" Pinkie grinned, startling Twilight and Applejack, "It's like you want to jump up and down and yell, 'Yay me!'" She jumped into the air, then curled into a small ball, "But you also want to curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time!" Pinkie stood up and ruffled Twilight's mane, "We've all been there!"

"I'm there almost every day." Fluttershy whispered with a sulk.

"You got no reason to fret, Twi." Applejack assured, earning a nod from me, "Everything's gonna be just-"

Before she could finish, Rarity dashed to Twilight and gasped, "Twilight!"

She calmed and started looking around Twilight's head, "Oh, sorry, darling. But I just realized you're not wearing your crown." Then asked her, "You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?"

"It's in my bag." Twilight answered, gesturing to Spike and her suitcase, "I just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it." Then she unfolded her wings, "I haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet either."

Twilight flapped her wings and jumped into the air. She was able to stay into the air for a few seconds before landing poorly on the ground.

Looks like Rainbow Dash might have her work cut out with this one. Hehehe. Or, maybe since Rainbow said I was a natural, I should teach Twilight how to fly. Bat Ponies and Pegasi don't fly very differently. So Alicorns are no exception.

"You are a princess now, Twilight. Embrace it." Rarity encouraged, as I helped Twilight back to her hooves, "I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why, I'd sleep in the thing!"

I gave Rarity a slightly disgusted look, while Twilight rolled her eyes with a smile.

I'm pretty sure Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence don't sleep with their crowns still on their heads. That's just creepy and quite unhealthy.

We continued into the castle. Inside the Main Throne Room, Crystal Pony Guards were lined along a purple carpet, playing trumpets in ceremonial welcome.

Twilight was the first to walk in. She looked around in confusion, until she bumped into an amber-colored Pegasus stallion with blue mane and tail. Blue eyes and wore the same armor suit as the other guards.

The two recovered and the Pegasus announced with a smile, "Her Highness, Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Cadence was to first to greet her sister-in-law, "Twilight!" The two shared a hug, "I haven't seen you since the coronation."

"We have so much to discuss." Princess Celestia spoke up with a gentle smile, "But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey." Then told us, "Now, off to bed, all of you."

Everyone agreed and made our way to our assigned rooms. I shared a room with Twilight and Spike.

Twilight, Spike and I were unpacking our things, changing into our pjs and getting ready for bed. However, Twilight seems very troubled. She put her crown over her head and gave out a heavy sigh.

Unfortunately, I was unable to speak, after what happened with Chrysalis, so Spike asked, "What's wrong, Twilight?"

"I don't know, Spike. I'm just worried, I guess." Twilight answered with a small frown, "Princess Cadence was given the Crystal Empire to rule over. What if now that I'm a princess, Celestia expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?"

"That would be awesome!" Spike smiled with excitement.

"No, it would not." Twilight argued, then made her way to her bed, "Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader."

She put the crown on the bedside drawer, next to her bed. I gave Twilight an assuring hand over her shoulder and a gentle smile.

Princess Celestia made you a Princess for a reason, Twilight. She saw something in you, you have yet to discover. You'll be fine.

Twilight gave me a small smile back. Like she can hear me.

"Aw, sure you will, Twilight." Spike assured, as Twilight tucked herself into bed, "But come on, you should get some shuteye. Big day tomorrow."

He switched off the lamp and he and I tucked ourselves into our own beds. It was quiet, until we heard the sound of moving and Twilight sighing in annoyance.

"Can't tuck!" Twilight growled, as she tried to keep her wings folded under the sheets, but was having trouble.

She sat up and forced her wings to fold against her back, "Just trying to get comfortable!"

Twilight tucked herself back under the sheets and closed her eyes. However her wings sprung open, throwing the blanket into the air. Twilight growled as the blanket covered her whole body.

I gave a quiet giggle and made my way to Twilight's bed. I got the blanket off Twilight and started massaging her shoulder blades, where her wings were. Twilight let out a sigh of relief and relaxation. Her wings reacted and folded neatly against her back.

I stopped and helped Twilight tuck herself into bed. Once the new Princess was asleep and relaxed, I went back to my bed and looked at Twilight's crown. Then I closed my eyes. In the darkness of my eyelids, I could still see Twilight Element of Magic.
