Celestia's School For Gifted Magical Creatures

Puellam watched her mother intently as she continued her lecture about magical theory. A series of equations and images of the equine body that they focused their magic scribbled on the chalkboard. Celestia began taking Puellam to her School for Gifted Unicorns as soon as the school year began three months after Celestia adopted Puellam. Puellam hated coming to school, but Celestia wanted her to get used to being around other ponies. Puellam's unique shapeshifting ability made Celestia believe she had the potential to be quite gifted in magic as well.

Puellam would spend the school days locked in her seat as she watched her mother, doing everything she could to ignore the others staring at her. It did not matter what they were whispered about her, good or bad; she wanted nothing to do with it.

Occasionally, Puellam would look over to the clock tower within her line of sight outside the window. "Come on!" she silently groaned. "I wanna get in bed with mom!" Puellam looked at Celestia as she continued with the lesson, admiring her perfect, naked figure. Despite all the sweets, cakes, and other treats Celestia would gorge herself with, the regal princess maintained a figure that would turn a head or two. Puellam would lose track of the lesson as she stared at her mother's ass hungrily, trying to sneak a peek at the best part between the legs or under the tail.

"Puellam?" Celestia's voice called, pulling the changeling out of her lustful thoughts with a start as she looked at the teacher. "What did I just say?"

"Um-" Puellam hummed as she desperately tried to think about what Celestia just said. Celestia sighed in disappointment.

"We'll talk after class," Celestia said as she looked at the other students. "Now, I want you all to focus on Starswirl the Bearded's theory of limbo over the weekend," Celestia said just as the bell rang. The class groaned as Celestia began putting away a few books on her desk. "Now, now!" Celestia called. "All the best unicorns in history studied hard to become what we know them to be. If you study hard, you too can be the next Starswirl!" The unicorns got up from their seats as they packed their bags.

Puellam began packing away her books as the other students left the room until she saw a white curve with an image of the sun plant itself on her desk. Puellam looked up to find her mother looking rather unpleased at her. "Hi, mom," Puellam said meekly.

"Hi," Celestia replied. "I'd like to see your grades get high," she added. Puellam hung her head in shame as she looked at the floor. "Puellam, honey," Celestia said as she pulled Puellam's chin up to look at her. Puellam looked into Celestia's eyes. "Don't think I haven't noticed how you've been staring at me during class." Puellam blushed as she looked her mother in the eyes. "Honey, there's a time and place for everything, but, unfortunately, school is not that time or place for us."

"I'm sorry, mom," Puellam said softly as she began to hang her head again, only for Celestia to pull her chin up and plant a soft kiss on her lips with a smile.

"I love you, sweetheart," Celestia said with a warm smile. Puellam smiled back with cherry red cheeks. "But, you're not getting my ass until we get you back on track for school." Puellam's smile instantly vanished at this.

"But, mom," Puellam began to protest.

"Nope," Celestia interjected. "From now on, playtime doesn't come until after your homework, missy." Celestia removed her rump from Puellam's desk. Puellam pouted as she looked at the floor before a thought crossed her mind. "And don't you think about bedding, momma. I'm letting her know about this whole thing," Celestia said as she returned to her desk. Puellam cursed under her breath. "Now, I have some things to do before I come back home."

"What am I gonna do until then?" Puellam asked as she got up while strapping her bag over her shoulder.

"You already know what I want you to do," Celestia answered sternly.

Celestia was always the loving mother she promised to be since she adopted Puellam months ago, but she laid down the law whenever she was in school. Puellam knew Celestia still loved her because she could sense it, but Celestia seemed like a different person when she was a teacher. Professor Celestia was still kind and caring toward her students, but she never let them have an inch. Puellam felt Celestia was more strict with her over the other students, probably because she was her daughter.

"Now, head home and get on your schoolwork," Celestia ordered as she began sorting through some paperwork with her magic.

Puellam groaned as she began walking toward the door before she stopped short to look at her mother. "See you later, mom," Puellam called softly. Celestia looked at her with a loving smile.

"See you later, sweetheart," Celestia replied before returning to her work. Puellam watched her for a few seconds before she left the room. Celestia looked at the door with a warm smile. "I won't be long, sweetheart," she thought to herself.

Puellam walked through the halls as she hung her head to keep from looking at any of the ponies staring at her.

"Letting a thing like that in this school?"

"The princess trusts her, so I do too."

"Those things almost destroyed Canterlot!"

Puellam turned a corner when she noticed a group of unicorns walking up to her. "Hey, freak!" the leader of the four boys called out. Puellam tried to ignore them as she continued walking. "Hey! I'm talkin' to you!" Puellam turned another corner and bolted. "Get it!" Puellam ran as fast as she could for a few seconds before she leaped into the air as she shifted into a small dragon and flew at top speed, only to collide face-first into a wall of magic. She fell on the floor as she reverted to her natural form before she rolled onto her back to look at her assailants. The four boys surrounded her, cutting off any route of escape as she glared at her.

"What the fuck is a freak like you doing in a respectable place like this?" the leader growled. Puellam shifted into a small statue of Celestia in the middle of the floor, standing in a pose as if she were rising the sun.

"Look at that!" another laughed. "The freak can change into stone!"

"Maybe it'll shatter just like any other statue!" the fourth suggested with an evil grin as he ignited her horn in magic. Puellam sat in that form as she internally screamed in terror.

"What the hell's going on here?" a female voice called out from down the hall. It was not a teacher or even an adult by the sound of it.

"Stay the hell out of this, Aura Glow!" the leader growled.

"Are you shmucks picking on a defenseless student again?!" Aura retorted.

"None of your damn business!" the leader replied.

"Oh, I see," Aura began. "You think that because the new student is a changeling, that gives you full range to do whatever the hell you want and get away with it."

"So what?" the second boy called out. "It's a freak who tried to destroy our home! It deserves whatever's coming to it!"

"Even if said changeling is actually Princess Celestia's daughter?" Aura countered.

"That's impossible!" the leader countered. "No princess in her right mind would call something like that their daughter!"

"You really wanna put that to the test, dipshit?" Aura dared.

"You're bluffin'!" the third of the group challenged,

"Alright," Aura submitted, making Puellam's heart skip a beat. "You wanna kill the changeling, go ahead, but don't blame me when you get the death sentence for killing a member of the royal family."

"Oh, fuck it!" the leader growled in defeat. "C'mon, guys. It's not worth it." Puellam listened to the footsteps leaving the area as she sensed one kind soul staying close.

"Well, we got rid of them, huh?" Aura's voice called warmly. "You can come out of your shell now, hun," Aura offered. "Those bastards are gone."

Puellam opened her eyes while remaining in the statue form to look at this pony. Aura Glow was a unicorn female with cyan-blue fur that faded to white from her elbows and knees down to her fingertips and hooves. A navy blue bow held her long purple hair in a ponytail with her tail equally decorated. Her body was not as perfect as Celestia's but still smooth and clean shaved.

"I'm Aura Glow," the young unicorn said with a soft smile. "Class president, and up until Twilight became princess, second in grades." Puellam hesitated to believe those words. "Okay, that was an exaggeration," Aura said as she rubbed the back of her head. When Puellam did not come out of her shell, Aura tilted her head. "I heard you were a shy one, but if I'm talking to an actual statue, this is embarrassing." Puellam slowly reverted to her natural form as she sat on the floor while holding her arm. "There she is!" Aura proclaimed softly as she smiled at Puellam.

"Th-thank you for saving me," Puellam said softly as she held onto her arm.

"My pleasure," Aura replied softly as she offered a hand. Puellam stared at Aura's hand for a few seconds. "I'm not going to bite you," Aura offered. Puellam took her hand, and Aura helped her to her feet. Aura offered a warm smile. "Don't worry about those dicks. They're all bark and no bite."

Puellam straitened the strap of her bag over her shoulder before she looked at Aura, taking the opportunity to drink in every detail of her body. The colors of her coat and hair were already enticing enough, but there was something about the slight roundness of her belly that Puellam found attractive.

"Earth to changeling?" Aura called, pulling Puellam out of her thoughts. "I just asked for your name."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Puellam said as she shook her head. "Wait, you know I'm Celestia's daughter, don't you know my name?"

"No," Aura answered. "All I know is that Celestia adopted a changeling as her daughter roughly three months ago, but I never found out the name of that changeling. And since you're the only changeling in the school, I figured you must be the one the princess adopted."

"I see," Puellam said with a blush.

"So, you gonna tell me your name, or do I have to start guessing random things?" Aura asked.

"I'm Puellam Amans," Puellam answered bashfully.

"Really?" Aura asked. "That is the prettiest name ever!" Aura proclaimed as she looked Puellam over. "Who'd have guess changelings were so adorable in both looks and names?" Puellam blinked.

"Wait, what?" Puellam asked.

"Oh, I've always had a fascination for other creatures," Aura replied. "Changelings are easily the most fascinating to me. I mean, the way you can change forms at will is amazing! I wish I was better at transfiguration!" Puellam blushed at Aura's excitement.

"I better get home," Puellam said. "I've been falling behind in my studies, and mom wants me to focus on my homework."

"Oh, I can walk you home," Aura offered cheerfully.

"That's okay," Puellam replied. "I'm fine on my own."

"Seems to me like you could use a friend to keep you company, gorgeous," Aura countered as she rested her hands on her hips. "What if those assholes come back? You gonna curl up in a cocoon and hope they won't fuck with you again?" Puellam blushed as she hung her head. She was never good at confrontations. Every time anyone came to her in a less than friendly way, she would shift into some inanimate object and hope they go away.

"I don't know," Puellam hummed as she held her arm.

"Look, if you wanna go alone, I'm not gonna stop you," Aura offered softly as she shrugged. "But I'd feel a lot better knowing you're safe at home instead of being bandaged up by doctors who don't know shit about changeling anatomy."

"Won't the others hate you for helping someone like me?" Puellam asked.

"Who gives a shit?" Aura replied. "If other ponies have a problem with me helping out a changeling, that's their problem, not mine." Puellam looked at Aura with a blush on her face. "So," Aura began as she extended an elbow to the changeling. "Would the lovely lady like an escort to her regal home?"

Puellam watched Aura for a few seconds as she scanned her with her senses. Puellam could sense the overwhelming desire to help others, especially non-pony creatures like herself. However, she could also sense something else. Something that drove her to be so kind toward others, but it was being blocked.

After a minute, Puellam took Aura's arm with a blush.

"Alright then," Aura smiled. "Let's get you home. I assume you live somewhere in the castle?"

"Uh, yeah," Puellam answered as Aura began walking with her through the halls.

"Do you have your own private suite?" Aura asked. "I bet it's as big as a house with a hot tub and everything!" Aura observed as she thought about the life of a royal.

"Well, it's big," Puellam answered as she thought about Celestia's room. Ever since Celestia adopted Puellam, the young changeling shared Celestia's room, even the massive bed at the heart of the room. Puellam never talked about her relationship with both her mothers. Officially, Celestia was Puellam's mother while Luna was her aunt, but behind closed doors, the sisters acted as Puellam's parents. An even close kept secret is how close all three of them are, especially in bed. Sometimes, Puellam only shared the bed with one of her mothers' at a time, but most of the time, they all spent their nights together in the same bed.

"Big bed, hot tub, full mirror," Aura went through a checklist. "Oh! Do you have your own butler?"

"A what?" Puellam asked.

"You know," Aura asked in excitement. "A guy who obeys your every wish without question! Oh, how I'd love to have my own butler!"

"Uh, no," Puellam answered while trying to think of an explanation. "N-none of the servants want to serve me unless mom's around."

"Wow!" Aura groaned. "Not even the colt-servents will come near you. Honestly, the prejudice is ridiculous." Puellam looked at Aura.

"Why aren't you avoiding me like the others?" Puellam asked.

"Why would I?" Aura asked.

"Cause of what my swarm did," Puellam answered as she looked at the ground. "With Canterlot and all?"

"Oh, that's all in the past," Aura answered. "I try to live in the present; focus on what's happening now instead of what's happened. Besides, the changelings have a new ruler, they're reformed, and you're too sweet to do something like that," Aura offered Puellam a smile while the young changeling blushed as she avoided making eye contact.

"Look," Puellam said with a blush. "My mom expects me to do my homework right now, so can we just go?"

"Oh, sorry," Aura said. "I tend to get excited about these things." Aura continued acting as Puellam's escort as they left the school and began walking toward the main castle. "Do you need any help with your homework? I try to get my stuff done fast so I can have more free time. I'd be happy to help." Puellam looked up at Aura.

Puellam wanted to say "no," but she found it next to impossible to study independently since she always thought about her mothers'. Even if she wanted help from another student, would either of her mothers approve of her bringing a stranger into Celestia's private chambers?

"I should ask mom, first," Puellam answered.

"Why would you need to ask?" Aura asked. "It's not like we're going to have sex in your mom's bed." Puellam blinked. The thought of mating another creature never crossed her mind, even if she would have no problem with mating personally. "Unless you want to," Aura added with a sideways smirk, making Puellam's white scales turn red from blushing. "Kidding," Aura chuckled. "Besides, I'd much rather save myself for that special someone."

Puellam was drowning in her thoughts as they continued walking through the castle courtyard. She never considered looking for someone else to share her life with. For as long as she could remember, her parents were the only ones she loved—both her changeling and alicorn parents. Her birth parents would happily share their bed with her as she grew up, and when Chrysalis killed them, she lost all hope of a happy future. Then Celestia offered her a new family with a home that included a warm bed, food, and all the love she could ever ask for, even if she no longer needed to feed on the love energy. Celestia and Luna were even willing to share a bed with the young changeling and offer the same level of intimacy as any other changeling would. For the first time since Puellam lost her parents, she felt happiness.

"Puellam?" Aura's voice broke through to Puellam, who blinked as she looked up. "I don't think the guards will let me through without approval." Puellam looked to find she was so deep in thought; she did not realize they had reached the castle's main door. "That, or these guys didn't get the memo that you're the princess's daughter."

"No visitors at this time," one of the two guards at the gates barked.

"Uh, this is my new tutor, Aura Glow," Puellam piped up.

"Yeah," Aura added. "Princess Puellam here is falling behind in her studies, so she asked me to help her."

"Authorization papers?" the second guard asked as he held up his free hand.

"Authorization papers?" Puellam asked as her heart skipped a beat.

"All authorized personnel must have the authorization papers before-"

The doors swung open, causing the two guards and the girls to look and find Princess Luna walking out with a stern look on her face.

"Cut the bullshit, Silver Shield," Luna growled as she placed a hand on her hip.

"Your highness?!" the guards called in unison before bowing their heads.

"You're up early," the first guard said respectfully.

"Drop the act!" Luna barked. "We both know the real reason you're refusing to let my da- I mean, my niece's friend into the castle!"

"Your highness, I was only-"

"Just giving Puellam a hard time because of what she is!" Lune interjected angrily. "Ever since my sister brought her into the castle, most of you guards have looked at her as if she was a target and took every opportunity to make her life miserable, and I'm sick of it!"

"Forgive me, your-"

"I don't want to hear it!" Luna barked again.

Puellam watched Luna in shock as she felt her frustration. Puellam knew of Luna's dark past, but she found it hard to believe because of how kind the dark blue alicorn seemed to be at all times. Always willing to help others while hiding what sadness she still felt about her deeds as Nightmare Moon.

"From now on, any further acts of prejudice against Puellam or any of her friends will result in disciplinary action!" Luna growled. "Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, ma'am," the guards replied.

"What was that?!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Luna inclined her head at them. "Back to your stations!" she ordered. The guards returned to their original positions at either side of the door before Luna looked at Puellam with a warm smile. "Welcome home, Puellam. Who's your friend?" Puellam struggled to find her words as she looked back and forth between Luna and the unicorn standing next to her.

"My name's Aura Glow, your highness," Aura answered with a warm smile. "It's an honor to be in your presence." Aura bowed respectfully.

"Please, call me Luna," the princess said warmly as she raised a hand to the unicorn. Luna stepped to the side as she gestured inside. "Please, come in."

"Oh, I shouldn't intrude," Aura protested.

"Nonsense," Luna countered. "Any friend of Puellam's is welcomed in our home."

"Well, if you insist," Aura agreed as she walked with Puellam, followed Luna inside the castle.

"So, when did you meed my little Puellam?" Luna asked as she walked with them.

"Oh, not too long," Aura answered as she thought it best not to mention how a group of the unicorns tried to jump her this afternoon. "To be honest, we only met today."

"Really?" Luna asked with a smile. "My little Puellam, the shy thing she is, brings home a friend she only just met?" Puellam blushed as she felt the excitement coming from her second mother.

"Mo- uh... Luna," Puellam studdered. "She, uh..." Puellam scratched the back of her head. Luna looked at Puellam as her smile faded.

"Did something happen, sweetie?" Luna asked. Aura watched Luna's body language with intent. The Princess of the Night seemed to be treating this changeling more than just a niece.

"Well," Puellam began. "A group of unicorns tried to jump me today," Puellam explained. Luna stopped short to look Puellam in the eye.

"What?!" Luna asked in a horrified tone. "They didn't hurt you, did they?! Who were they?!"

"If I may," Aura interjected. Luna looked at Aura with concern. "I found Puellam being surrounded by these guys at school. I knew whatever they were up to wasn't good, so I stepped in before anything happened." Luna watched Aura intently as she told the story. "I wouldn't feel right if I didn't at least escort her home after that, so here we are." Luna seemed to relax as she stood upright.

"In that case, my sister and I owe you a debt," Luna said warmly as a smile formed on her lips.

"Oh, it was nothing, really," Aura protested.

"No," Luna countered. "Your kind gesture means more than you realize." Luna continued guiding the two through the castle halls. "After the changelings were reformed, my sister was eager to take part in building relations with our two nations by adopting our little Puellam here. My sister will be more than thrilled to know you went out of your way to help her daughter out of the goodness of your heart." Luna stopped to look at Aura. "That is the reason you stepped in, is it? Not that you were looking to get into good graces with my sister and me?"

"Oh, no," Aura said as she raised her hands in the air defensively. "As honored as I am to be in the castle, I couldn't just stand by and watch as those bullies surrounded her."

"She's telling the truth, mo- uh, Luna," Puellam added. Luna accepted this with a smile as Aura looked at Puellam with a raised eyebrow.

"Then, you are more than welcome to visit any time," Luna offered with a warm smile.

"Thank you," Aura smiled.

"Now, how about some food?" Luna offered. "You two must be hungry after a long day at school."

~~)oOo(~~

"I'm home," Celestia called as she walked into her bedroom to find Luna napping on the bed while Puellam was sitting at the table with Aura. Aura and Puellam looked at Celestia in slight surprise at her sudden entrance before Puellam smiled at her mother.

"Hi, mom!" Puellam offered happily.

"Oh, did I miss something?" Celestia asked as she walked up with a smile.

"Mom, this is Aura Glow," Puellam introduced with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess," Aura offered as she got up from her seat to bow politely.

"Aura," Celestia said with a smile. "How's your transfiguration coming?"

"I'm still struggling with that," Aura replied.

"You're doing better than you were last year," Celestia complimented.

"That's kind of you to say," Aura replied. "But, I'm still no good at it."

"Speaking of which," Celestia said as she looked at Puellam. "I hope you've been working on your studies while I was gone."

"Actually, Aura's been helping me with that," Puellam answered, earning a proud smile from her mother.

"That's wonderful!" Celestia declared. "So, you're going to tutor my daughter?" Celestia asked.

"I'm happy to help in any way I can," Aura replied with a smile.

"What about your own studies?" Celestia asked as she pulled up a seat to sit with them.

"I make sure to get my homework done quickly, so I have time for other things," Aura answered. Celestia smiled.

"Well, I'm glad my little girl has found a friend to help her get on track," Celestia observed as she patted Puellam's head, earning a purr from the young changeling.

"Wow!" Aura cried out. "Changelings purr?"

"Sometimes," Puellam answered softly. Celestia opened her mouth to say something before the sound of the clock tower filled the room.

"Oh, is it that time already?" Aura asked as she looked out the window. "My parents are gonna kill me!" Aura began packing her things as Puellam sensed dread coming from the unicorn.

"I'd be happy to let your family know you're here," Celestia offered.

"Thanks," Aura began, "but I better get home. I'm really not supposed to be out late." Aura placed the bag strap over her shoulder. "It's been a pleasure, your highness," Aura said with a warm smile.

"I'll escort you out," Celestia offered as she got to her feet.

"Thank you," Aura replied. "See you next week, Puellam."

"By, Aura," Puellam replied.

"I'll be back, love," Celestia said as she guided their guest out of the room.

When the two were out of the room, Puellam turned in her seat to look out the window. She spent the next few minutes thinking about Aura Glow before she heard the waking groans of her second mother.

Puellam turned to find Luna stretching on the bed as she gave a great yawn. Puellam admired the night princess's naked blue body with a smile before Luna relaxed from her stretching. "Hey, kiddo," Luna offered as she looked around to find they were the only ones in the room. "How long was I out?"

"A few hours," Puellam answered. Luna patted the bed next to her, getting the young changeling to get up from her seat and walk over to the bed.

"I take it, Aura left?" Luna asked as Puellam sat next to her.

"Mommy just escorted her out." Puellam leaned against her second mother's shoulder, who draped a wing over her shoulders as she kissed Puellam's forehead.

"You like Aura, don't you?" Puellam blinked as she looked at Luna, who only smiled warmly. "Cherish your friends, Puellam. I can speak through experience how wonderful friends can be."

Puellam leaned against Luna as she continued to think about that unicorn. The colors of her coat, the curves of her body, her long and silky hair. While Puellam could not help but admire Aura's figure, that was not the only reason she found the unicorn fascinating. Aura was the first pony, outside of her new mothers', who treated her with kindness and respect. Such a thing came as a rarity to the young changeling. A rarity she did not want to fade away into a memory.

The door swung open, making the two look at Celestia walking in with a warm smile on her face. "Aura is such a wonderful unicorn," Celestia observed as she walked up to the bed while smiling at her sister and daughter. "So, is my daughter in a relationship now?" Celestia asked as she sat on the other side of Puellam.

"Mom!" Puellam protested with a blush that made her scales red instead of white. Celestia and Luna giggled before they leaned in and kissed each other on the lips.
