Deja Vu With Royalty

“Right this way, Ms. Sparkle,” the cyan maned unicorn guard bowed his head as he motioned an armored hoof towards the large double doors beside him.

He pushed open the tall wooden doors as they effortlessly gilded apart with neither a squeak or creak. The doors opened up to an expansive throne room. A long red carpet led the way as the two ponies trotted down the room’s marble floored length.

On the other end, standing so elegantly before her golden throne was the Sister of the Sun herself, Princess Celestia.

The white alicorn smiled down at the purple unicorn as she so gracefully bowed her head. “Ah young Twilight, what a pleasant surprise!”

“It’s nice to see you, princess” Twilight said as she bowed her head deeply, “sorry for the surprise visit, but I realized how long it’s been since we last talked.”

“I must admit, I was not expecting you to show up so suddenly,” Celestia answered, “but no matter. I was not in the middle of anything...embarrassing...” She paused, staring off to the side for a second or two before looking up at Twilight. “It would be nice to catch up over some tea,” She smiled as she trotted towards the left of the throne room where a hallway leading to the royal gardens could be found.

She looked behind her to find the purple unicorn stopped in her tracks. A quizitive expression hung on Twilight’s face as she appeared deep in thought.

“Is...something wrong, Twilight?” Celestia asked.

“Uhm...no...No, Princess, everything’s fine,” Twilight shook her head, “just...feeling a bit of deja vu.”

“Deja vu? How odd,” Celestia commented.

“Yeah...almost like...I’ve done this exact same thing a couple times before,” Twilight thought out loud as she followed Celestia out of the room, “only a little different, you know?”

Celestia paused, “I’m...afraid I don’t know, sorry. But you can tell me all about it over some tea. That should soothe the nerves.”

“Yeah,” Twilight said as she rubbed the front of her head for a moment, “tea would help settle this headache.”
