The Princess Originsby KawaiiCupcakeChaptersBig Day TomorrowCoronation DayMeet Your Little SisterBig Day TomorrowThe Princess Origins The night sky shimmered with silver stars. A little white filly with flowing, pink mane and tail stared up at the beauty that was her father's work. Lord Orion was the ruler of Equestria, alongside his wife, Queen Solis. He was also known by many as the "King of the Night." Lord Orion's duty was to raise the moon and the stars each and every night. And they were beautiful every time. The white filly lay on the grass in front of the castle that was her home. She longed to be able to have the power her parents did. More specifically, her mother's. Queen Solis raised the sun every morning without fail. It was awe inspiring, and the little filly always tried to wake early so she could watch the glorious event. "Celestia!" Called a deep voice, and the little filly whipped her head around to see her father standing at the castle doors, "It's time to come inside!" With a dejected "aww," Celestia stood to her hooves and cantered over to him, entering the castle as Orion shut the doors. The castle was ginormous. It housed two sets of spiral staircases that led to the upper floor, two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a balcony on the top floor, a kitchen, and a living space for the family. The living space was rather large. It was decorated with a big, circular rug on the floor with a sun and moon design on it, a lavender sofa that could fit up to ten full grown ponies at once, and a bookshelf that went as high as the ceiling. Under the bookshelf were stacks of board games that the family liked to play from time to time. The walls were a dark blue, but were brightened with little white spots. Celestia enjoyed the living space very much, and even spent a majority of her time in it and reading. Her parents were fond of their young filly growing such a healthy mind. "Celestia," Queen Solis cooed to her young daughter, "It's time for bed, dear." Queen Solis was a beautiful, pearly white with gorgeous pink, orange, and purple mane and tail that flowed with sparkles. The alicorn stared down at Celestia with her loving, lavender eyes, and gave her a warm smile. Queen Solis was the kindest ruler, and the kindest mother. She never let anypony down, and tried her hardest to keep everypony smiling. Celestia pouted at her mother, looking back at her with dejected eyes, "Mama, do I have to?" Queen Solis nodded, "Yes, my darling. You have to get up early tomorrow. It's a big day!" Suddenly, Celestia's eyes widened and she jumped for joy, "I almost forgot!" Lord Orion chuckled fondly and patted his daughter's rump, "Come now, let's get into bed." He led Celestia into her bedroom, and she followed excitedly. Her bedroom was a light pink, just like her mane. It housed a rather large bed that was covered with a simple, white blanket, as well as a plethora of stuffed animals; a few bunnies, one or two birds, a couple of dogs, and even a large parasprite. Celestia crawled into bed and cuddled her stuffed animals, nuzzling one of her bunnies affectionately. Orion smiled warmly as he lit up his horn and slowly draped the blanket over her small frame. Finally, he kissed his daughter on the forehead, blew out the candle on her nightstand, and whispered a soft, "Goodnight, darling," before leaving her room and shutting the door. Celestia was asleep within minutes. Lord Orion sighed as he ventured into his and his wife's room. He watched her as she lay in bed, holding her stomach and groaning in slight discomfort. Orion lay beside her and looked down at her stomach, a small smile forming on his lips. "Have you decided on a name yet, Solis?" He asked his wife quietly. Solis hummed in thought, "I'm not sure yet." "Solis," Orion chuckled incredulously, "You're due to give birth in just a few weeks. You need to come up with a name eventually." "Well you could help!" Solis spat jokingly in response, a playful smirk on her face. Orion laughed and silence fell upon the two once more. After a minute, the king of the night frowned slightly, and Solis noticed this. "What has you down, dear?" "Do you..." Orion paused, then exhaled and continued, "Do you think Celestia is prepared for tomorrow?" "Why wouldn't she be?" "Well..." Orion sat up straight and stared down at his hooves, "Raising the sun is a very meticulous task. She will need patience and precision and, more importantly, the power." "Orion," Solis hummed, sitting up as well and resting a large wing on her husband's shoulder comfortingly, "She will be an alicorn tomorrow. She will have the power." "But is she even ready to become an alicorn?" Orion shot his worried gaze to his wife. Solis pursed her lips, looking concerned, "Why do you think she isn't ready?" A minute or two of silence passed, neither of them saying a word. Finally, Orion sighed and closed his eyes. Solis smiled slightly and pulled him closer. "Darling. Are you afraid of her growing up?" Orion's eyes snapped open and he looked at his wife, lips pursed and eyes filled with concern. Solis chuckled, "She has to grow up eventually, dear. And with her new baby sister coming along, she will have plenty of responsibility!" The king of the night finally smiled and hugged Solis tightly, feeling so incredibly lucky that he had her in his life. Solis hugged him back, feeling nothing but comfort and peace. Finally, Lord Orion pulled back and looked out at the night sky. He watched as his stars shimmered, then the moon gleamed at him. He suddenly looked at Queen Solis and smiled wide as he rubbed her stomach. "How about 'Luna?'" Solis hummed happily and nodded, closing her eyes, "I like that name." Orion smiled lovingly at his wife before he, too, closed his eyes, and the pair of rulers fell asleep in each other's hooves. Author's Note Please let me know what you think! To be continued, more chapters to come soon! Coronation DayCelestia yawned as she woke to a brand new day. She rubbed her eyes, then looked out her large bedroom window to see that it was just barely dawn. She gasped and quickly hopped out of bed, half of her blanket falling to the floor as she rushed out of her room. She galloped up one of the spiral staircases, then shoved open the double doors leading out to the balcony. The balcony was a very pale lavender with bright gold banisters. Queen Solis looked behind her at the little filly and smiled warmly at her. Celestia lifted herself up on the banister with her front hooves and looked out at the vast sky. She gawked at her mother's sun as it slowly rose. A wide smile decorated her little face and her eyes sparkled in awe. Solis watched Celestia out of the corner of her eye with a loving smile. She admired her daughter's young excitement at something the Queen was so familiar with. To her, it was an every day task. To Celestia, it was a gorgeous show that amazed her. Once the sun was fully in the sky, Solis turned to Celestia and leaned down to her, touching her horn to the filly's. Celestia beamed at her mother. "Today is a big day, Celestia," Queen Solis hummed, nuzzling the filly with her muzzle, "Are you excited?" The pink maned filly squealed and reared up on her hind legs in excitement, "Yes! I can't wait!" Then, she fell back to all four hooves and cocked her head at her mother, "What's happening today, mama?" Solis chuckled fondly and rested a hoof on Celestia's back, leading her back into the castle, "You will see, darling." It was later on in the day when all of Equestria gathered around the royal castle, eagerly waiting for the coronation to take place. Queen Solis was in Celestia's room, dressing her in a beautiful, silky, pink dress. The queen, herself, was dressed in a long, light orange dress that flowed to the floor. Her mane was pulled up into a fancy bun with a golden crown resting atop her head. Celestia giggled in excitement as her mane was pulled back into a flowing, braided bun. Solis topped off the style with a flower crown made of sunflowers. Once she was finished, the queen stepped back to admire her daughter's look. She felt her eyes well with tears, and she put a hoof to her mouth in amazement. "How do I look, mama?" Celestia asked eagerly. "You look gorgeous," Solis replied confidently, a broad smile on her face. Celestia gave her mother a smile in return, then looked to see Lord Orion enter the room. He, too, looked amazing with a navy blue tuxedo on that nearly blended in with his dark blue fur. A black tie hung from his neck, though it looked a little off. His flowing, sparkling, black mane was combed back and pulled into a short ponytail. Solis flushed a light pink and trotted over to her husband. "You look great, dear," she hummed as she fixed his tie with her magic. Orion smiled warmly at her, then looked at Celestia for the first time since he walked in the room. Immediately, he felt his eyes begin to water, and he looked away. Celestia frowned. "Are you okay, papa?" Lord Orion swallowed, then nodded, "Y-Yes. Celestia, you look so..." He turned back to his daughter and a tear fell from his eye, "...So grown up." Celestia giggled and hopped excitedly, "Do I? Do I really?" Orion and Solis chuckled fondly and pulled their daughter in for a big hug. Finally, they heard the castle doors open, and in walked a unicorn guard. "Your highnesses!" He addressed both alicorns, "It is almost time." "Thank you," Lord Orion nodded at him, then the guard left the castle. Orion turned back to his family and smiled, "Let's get going then." Author's Note Here's my design for Queen Solis if you're interested: https://www.deviantart.com/tickly-giggles/art/Queen-Solis-815375160 Meet Your Little SisterIt had already been a few weeks since Celestia had been dubbed the Princess of Equestria. As shocked as she was to be a princess, Celestia was even more shocked to see wings sprout out of her back. They were a gorgeous white that almost seemed to shimmer. Celestia was ecstatic. She attempted to fly right then and there at her coronation, but ended up falling on her face. The ponies of Equestria, including Lord Orion and Queen Solis, were concerned for the filly, but their worries quickly dissipated once Celestia stood up and proceeded to hop around in excitement. Since then, the little princess had attempted to fly countless times, but each resorted in her falling to the ground. She just couldn't seem to grasp the concept of flying. It had come to the point where Solis had offered to train her, and the filly enthusiastically agreed. "Like this, Celestia," Solis instructed as she began flapping her wings at a gentle pace and began to hover above the ground. Celestia watched her mother intently before looking at her new alicorn wings. She scrunched up her face, then flapped her wings as quickly as possible. Solis watched her and chuckled fondly before getting back to her hooves and trotting over to her daughter. "No no, Tia," she said, stopping the princess' wings, "You need to flap slower than that, or else you won't get any wind under your wings." Celestia nodded, then gently began to flap her wings again. She started off slowly, and gradually flapped them faster and faster while still keeping a swift motion. Finally, she felt her hooves lift off of the ground, and she began to hover very slightly. Celestia looked down and gasped, a wide smile forming on her face. "Mama!" She cried in excitement, "Lookit me! I'm doing it! I'm--" Suddenly, Celestia crashed to the ground once more. Solis quickly checked on her daughter, then helped her stand with a giggle, "You need to concentrate while you're flying, Celestia. Once you're a more experienced flyer, you can learn to multitask. But, for now, you must learn to concentrate on simply flapping those wings." Celestia looked up at her mother with a bright smile. She may not have gotten far, but she did it! She flew! Well, she at least got off of the ground. Either way, she was proud of herself. After quite a few lessons on flying from her mother, Celestia had eventually gotten the hang of flying. So far, she was at the point where she could barely reach the tops of trees. However, Celestia was never disappointed when she fell. In fact, she was ecstatic to be able to fly at all. After a few more weeks, Celestia had been woken up by the sound of her mother screaming. She rushed into her parents' bedroom and saw Lord Orion clutching Solis' hoof. The queen yelled in agony, holding her plump stomach and wings flapping in distress. "Celestia," Orion hastily addressed his daughter once he spotted her in the doorway, "Hurry! Go get the royal nurse!" In a fit of panic, the little alicorn nodded and rushed out of the room, beginning to flap her wings and flying fast like a bullet. She made it outside, and the royal guards were alarmed at her distress. As Celestia found the royal nurse, the guards hurried into the king and queen's room. It was an hour later when Celestia was waiting outside her parents' bedroom, curled up in a ball and quietly crying. One of the royal guards was trying to comfort her, but his attempts were in vain. Finally, the door to the bedroom opened, and the royal nurse walked out with a wide smile on her face. Celestia looked up and sniffled, confused at the nurse's smile. When she gestured for the filly to enter the room, she did so, and she was shocked at the sight. On the bed lay Queen Solis, the blanket draped over her body and something small cradled in her arms. Her exhausted face bore a content smile as she stared down at the thing she was holding. As Celestia stepped closer, she gasped when she saw her mother was holding a little foal. The foal was a dark blue, just like Lord Orion, with a lighter blue mane and tail. When she shifted her head, Celestia could see the foal was a unicorn. "Tia," Queen Solis cooed to her alicorn daughter, "Say hello to your baby sister. Luna." Celestia stepped even closer and peered at Luna's face. The dark foal's eyes were closed, and she seemed to be resting. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, and Celestia saw her eyes were blue, just like the rest of her. "Luna..." Celestia breathed, and Luna blinked before growing a small smile on her face. This made the pink maned alicorn giggle in return and she nuzzled her sister's muzzle with her own.

Meet Your Little SisterIt had already been a few weeks since Celestia had been dubbed the Princess of Equestria. As shocked as she was to be a princess, Celestia was even more shocked to see wings sprout out of her back. They were a gorgeous white that almost seemed to shimmer. Celestia was ecstatic. She attempted to fly right then and there at her coronation, but ended up falling on her face.

The foal was a dark blue, just like Lord Orion, with a lighter blue mane and tail. When she shifted her head, Celestia could see the foal was a unicorn. "Tia," Queen Solis cooed to her alicorn daughter, "Say hello to your baby sister. Luna." Celestia stepped even closer and peered at Luna's face. The dark foal's eyes were closed, and she seemed to be resting. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, and Celestia saw her eyes were blue, just like the rest of her. "Luna..." Celestia breathed, and Luna blinked before growing a small smile on her face. This made the pink maned alicorn giggle in return and she nuzzled her sister's muzzle with her own.
