It was about midday, and Solstice sat in the throne room with her parents. Her throne sat beside Twilights, it was smaller but was a beautiful silver. While Twilight's throne sported her cutie mark at the top, Solstice's throne had a sparkle similar to Twilights. Starlight laid on her lavender pillow down by Twilights throne. There was a small hook on the side of her throne that Twilight would attach Starlight's leash to when they were in here for the day. So many times Solstice wished she could be in her mom's position and not in her Mothers.

"Thank you, Princess." A male unicorn said as he bowed, floating a scroll with him as he exited the throne room. Once the doors closed, Twilight slumped back on her throne and groaned a little.

"I am so done with appointments," Twilight said as she ran her front hooves over her face.

Starlight giggled a little, covering her mouth with her front leg.

"Find my torture funny huh?" Twilight smirked as she leaned down to Starlight.

Starlight looked up to Twilight with the same smirk on her face. "Yes, yes I do."

Before Twilight could say anything, Solstice cleared her throat."Seriously? Now?"

Twilight laughed as she sat back up against her throne. "Oh, you'll be there one day soon, love."

Solstice rolled her eyes and stood up. "I don't have to be here do I?"

"No, not yet, anyway. If you wanna leave, you can. Just be back before it gets too late." Twilight smiled.

"Okay, Mother." Solstice smiled as she walked off of her throne and out of the throne room. She sighed a bit as she closed the door behind her. She was happy to finally be out of there.

Solstice walked down the hallway and out of the castle. Once she was outside she took a deep breath and let it out with a happy sigh. She was glad to be out of that throne room before her parents got a little too into each other. Solstice shivered a bit before she opened her wings and lifted into the air.

She looked down below her to the ground, seeing the other ponies go on with their daily lives. She watched as they laughed and talked, not able to hear what they were saying.

"You should pay attention when your flying, princess." Solstice heard. She looked up, seeing Scarlet sitting on a cloud.

"How do we keep running into each other?" Solstice asked, coming out of her trance and landing on the cloud next to Scarlet.

"I have no idea, but it's not like I mind." Scarlet winked.

Solstice blushed a little and giggled. "Yeah, I don't mind either."

Scarlet smiled. She lifted her left wing and reached under her right one, pulling out the pink band that Solstice had on at the festival. "I've been holding onto this, in case you wanted to explore."

Solstice looked at her with wide eyes. She didn't think Scarlet would have kept it. She had to admit, her heart skips several beats. "Um, I don't know. I mean, I want to, but-"

"But what? Your parents? This stigma that princesses can only be dominant? You can be whatever you wanna, and if you wanna be submissive and a little, then there's nothing wrong with that." Scarlet said as she placed the band on one of Solstice's wings.

Solstice looked at the band, trying to fight back tears. She wanted more than anything to just be who she was on the inside, the fear just kept her from it. She looked back at Scarlet, who was a loving smile on her face. "But, we hardly know each other. We haven't spent any real time together, other than the times we ran into each other. "

"I know that, I wasn't saying we had to enter any relationship right this second, but I am looking to explore my dominant side more, and if you would like, we can start to get to know each other more. Hang out, go on a few dates, talk about things. I'm not very good at expressing my feelings, but I'm open to trying." Scarlet smiled.

Solstice looked down to the band again. What if her parents found out? What if all of Equestria did? She felt the fear and anxiety pull at her from all directions, but she also knew that if she never tried, she would never know. "Um, okay, yeah. Let's do it."

Scarlet smiled. "Awesome! I live down in Ponyville, I teach there."

"That's where my parents used to live, and all her friends live." Solstice said.

"Really? Who are they?" Scarlet asked.

"Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie. I think Discord lives there too, and Pinkie's husband Cheese Sandwich. They have a son." Solstice said.

"I know of them" Scarlet chuckled. "I buy apples from Rainbow and Applejack all the time. I teach Pinkie's son. He's a bit of a class clown, but wouldn't expect any less from her kid."

Solstice giggled. "Yeah, he can be a hoofful."

"Well, how about you come down next week?" Scarlet asked.

Solstice lowered her ears. "I cant. My mother has put together this visit with Celestia, Luna, my Aunt Cadence, and my cousin Flurry Heart and all their submissives."

"Oh. Hey, don't look so down. You'll make it through the visit. If what I know about Cadence, she's the princess of love, I bet she can tell if you're uncomfortable with it." Scarlet said.

"That's what I'm afraid of." Solstice sighed.

"Hey, it'll be okay. If anything she would be the one to understand more than the others. Don't discredit everyone." Scarlet smiled. Already she felt this need to take care of Solstice, helo her, love her, lead her. She didn't want to push anything too soon, but she did feel it.

Solstice jumped when she felt her horn slightly vibrate. She groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Why is your horn glowing purple?" Scarlet asked.

"It's a spell my mother made. It's like a call. Whenever she needs me, shell cast it and my horn will vibrate and glow with her aura color instead of mine. It's kind of annoying." Solstice chuckled. "Guess I better go see what she wants."

Scarlet smiled. "Okay. Tell ya what, let's meet at the pond again tomorrow. Sound good?"

"Sounds good. Bye." Solstice said as she lifted off of the cloud and headed for the castle. When she landed, she opened the door and made her way to the throne room. When she walked in, she stopped and her eyes grew wide. There stood Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Flurry. Her uncle Shining Armor sat on the floor with 2 other ponies playing along with her mom Starlight.

"Solstice!" Twilight said as she surrounded her in lavender magic and floated her over in front of her. "Turns out the visit is happening earlier than expected." She said happily.

"Great." Solstice said with a nervous giggle.

What am I gonna do now? Solstice thought as she looked around at all the other ponies.
