Twilight Finally Writes Back...

Celestia giggled to herself as she dipped her quill inside an ink pot to dab it onto the page of her journal. Her eyes skimmed through her message from Sunset Shimmer, snickering at every word. She smiled, glad that she's getting along with her again. She plotted her quill on the page and started words on it.

Oh, you're such a card again, Sunny! And I do missed these type of conversations between each other.

Sunset smiled as her eyes skimmed at her mentor's message. She clicked her pen and started jotting down words on a fresh new page in her journal. Leaning onto the table, she rested her arm as her hand was skimming through the page.

I know, right? I can't believe I turned my back on you. You have a sense of humour now and I totally missed that actually beginning to happen. I'm definitely not sad about that!

Celestia frowned, reading on her piece on the page in her journal. Twilight had allowed her to keep it now that Sunset Shimmer has reformed and they have a lot of catching up to do. Twilight understood. Celestia and Sunset had agreed with her, they have missed talking with each other.

Don't be sad, my faithful student. It was not your fault to begin with, it was I. I was the one who was a hypocrite and forced you to make some friends when I didn't have any myself.

You were the only friend I ever had, before Twilight, of course.

Sunset smiled a bit, standing up straight in her seat until someone had entered through the door but hadn't caught her attention. Sunset's eyes were goggling on the page until the person screamed inside her ears.

''WAKE UP!!!''

Sunset let out a loud scream in agony as she fell to the ground. She shook her head as she began rubbing it. She sent a death glare at the person who had screamed inside her hears. She was snickering in delight.

''Ugh!'' Sunset mumbled. ''Pinkie? What the hay?!''

Pinkie giggled. ''Sorry! I just had to because you weren't paying attention to the real life and instead paying attention to your little journal!'' Pinkie chimed down. ''Hey, come to think of it, you have always been on that thing recently. You and Princess Twilight dating or what?'' She smirked at her which had made Sunset blush.

Sunset sighed in frustration. ''No, I'm not talking to Princess Twilight and we are not dating! I'm just talking to Princess Celestia.''

''But how? Didn't you say Princess Celestia had given her journal to Princess Twilight?''

''Yes, she did, but Twilight had given it back to her so she could message me for whatever shit and then we decided to talk more. I can't believe I missed out on her getting a sense of humour! I think it was the pony Pinkie Pie who gave her it.''

''Duh!'' Pinkie exclaimed, rolling her eyes. ''Of course she did! Any Pinkie fool has a sense of humour!''

Sunset rolled her eyes. ''Of course.''

Her eyes started to get laid back on the journal and decided to pick up her pen again to start on the page to reply to her mentor. Pinkie didn't bother leaving and instead stayed with her friend as she peered over her friend's shoulder to see what they were talking about.

Oh, don't be so modest, princess! We all know it was MY fault into becoming evil. You would always be there for me whenever I was going through tough times like my parents dying...anyways, I have disobeyed you and didn't listen to you when you asked me to make some friends...

I did try to but it had looked like no pony wanted to be my friend for whatever fucking reason. Probably because I was always into books and a teacher's pet? Antisocial?

Celestia shook her head, but laughed. She picked up her quill again, dabbing it into the ink pot and jotting down words on a fresh new page in her journal.

I love you, Sunset.

A glimmer of hope twinkled inside Sunset's eyes which Pinkie could obviously see. Pinkie giggled, smirking at her as she knew what Sunset was inferring this message.

Me too, Princess Celestia, me too.

Celestia turned around to see a dark blue alicorn standing in the doorway, throwing her head back into laughter. Celestia narrowed her eyes as she approached her.

''What's so funny?''

''Sorry, sorry,'' Luna taunted as she tried to calm herself down. ''But you have been messaging her for how long? You don't even write to Twilight for so many hours.'' She looked at the clock on the wall. ''I think you are suffering through an illness called 'obsession', Tia.''

''Obsession?!'' Celestia repeated, panicking as sweat dripped off from her forehead. ''What obsession?!''

''You like her, Tia, admit it. I thought you liked Twilight, but I guess I was wrong.''

Celestia groaned. ''Puh-lease, Luna! Just because I have spent hours messaging one of my students doesn't mean I'm obsessed and have a crush on her!''

Luna raised an eyebrow, but shook her head. She trotted back out the door and entered inside her lounging room. Celestia got back to her journal and picked up a quill to reply back to her old student.

You know? I'm sort of craving for cake at the moment.

Once Sunset and Pinkie had read the message, they both drifted into hysterical laughter. Sunset clicked the top of her pen and started jotting down words on the page to reply, again.

You are still obsessed with cake, huh?

Also, I have one question: am I still your student?

Celestia placed a hoof to her chest, pretending to look offended at her comment. She lowered her eyes to read her other message. She thought about it for a moment.

I am not obsessed with cake, young lady!

I'm not sure. Do you still want to be my student?

Sunset's eyes goggled, squealing in excitement. Pinkie giggled as her friend picked up her pen again and started hastily on a brand new page.

Sure you're not.

Are you kidding? I would still love to, Princess Celestia!

Celestia rolled her eyes playfully as she chortled and picked up her quill to start back in her journal.

Oh, and please, you don't need to call me that anymore. Call me by Celestia now.

Sunset smiled. So modest, she thought to herself.

I think I should call you: Tia.

Celestia narrowed her eyes on the page, groaning in annoyance. Her sister had probably taught her student to say that. Celestia rolled her eyes, writing back with her quill on the page.

Oh, please, not with that nickname! I'm guessing Luna had taught you that, huh?

Sunset chuckled, back with her pen on the page.

Nope. I just took out ''Tia'' from your name :)

Celestia laughed, almost tripping over the ink pot had she not use her magic to levitate it away from falling. She sighed of relief, hearing a knock coming from her door. She rolled her eyes, knowing who it would be. She never bothered to turn around and instead just used her magic to open the door.

Luna came into the room alongside with a guard. She sheepishly tittered. ''Uh, Tia? Mind tellin' this guard to stop following me around all the time? It's getting pretty annoying.''

Celestia rolled her eyes. ''Is that why you interfered on my conversation?''

''Fine then,'' Luna mumbled. ''I'll just banish this guard to the moon then.''

''What?'' the guard uttered.

A pink alicorn peeked from the side of the door with a cheerful and got everyponies attention. ''Hi! I just finished casting a love spell on a guard, Aunt Tia, and-oh.''

Luna sent a glare. ''What?!''

Cadence gulped. ''C-Celestia...t-told me to.''

''What?'' Celestia exclaimed, getting taken aback by this. ''Why, I never!''

''Well, it's only because you're the only alicorn without a love interest so I just had to!''

Luna narrowed her eyes. ''What about my sister?''

''Oh, her? She's got my sister-in-law and Sunset.''

''What?'' Celestia spoke in a more louder tone.

Luna snickered, but rolled her eyes afterwards, whereas Celestia had given her a death stare in response. Luna sheepishly chortled, exiting out of her sister's lounging room again alongside with Cadence and the guard following behind her with hearts circulating above his head. Cadence bit her lip, undoing the spell and waving the hearts away from his head.

Celestia slouched her face onto her table but got up as she didn't hear a buzz as a sign for a message from her journal. She hopped off from her seat and trotted towards her door to exit out of it and join dinner with her sister (probably Cadence too).

However, Sunset Shimmer was waiting for a response from her mentor but distracted herself by talking with her friend Pinkie Pie as she was accompanying her whilst she was writing to her mentor in her journal.

Pinkie laughed. ''And then Applejack was like 'I don't love Rarity at all!'''

Sunset snickered, glancing back at her page to see if she had gotten a reply from her yet. She sighed in response as she had gotten her answer. Pinkie raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth to say something but got interrupted as Sunset said something first.

''So,'' said Sunset, ''you and Rainbow Dash thinking about going out with each other?''

Pinkie blushed, but it couldn't see through her pink coat. She replied with, ''N-No. W-What about y-you and Flash?''

Sunset grumbled. ''For the last time, there is nothing between Flash and I!''

Pinkie smirked, as she batted her eyelashes flirtatiously towards her friend. Sunset sighed in defeat.

''Alright. Fine, you've caught me.''

Pinkie gasped. ''What?! So you do, again? When? How? TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!''

She startled Sunset by gripping onto her by the shoulders.

''I can't.''

Pinkie's ears drooped down. ''Why not?''

''Because I don't know,'' Sunset simply replied as she rolled her eyes. She walked towards the door and exited out of the place, leaving Pinkie gasp as realisation had struck her.

During the royal sisters' dinner, a violet alicorn with a purple dragon were wearing black costumes and had secretly snuck into Canterlot and entered inside Celestia's lounging room. Once they made themselves inside, they had scattered around the place and spotted Celestia's journal laying opened on her desk.

Spike glanced at Twilight -- whose lips curled into a grin. Twilight trotted towards it and levitated it in front of her as she flipped through the pages. Spike's eyebrow raised, peering over to look inside the journal as well.

''Shouldn't you not be intruding on somepony else's privacy, Twi?''

Twilight huffed. ''Privacy? What privacy? It's not like they have secretly talked about something that we weren't meant to hear behind our backs.''

Spike rolled his eyes. ''Yeah, but--''

Twilight ignored him as she continued to flick through the pages until she found an empty page where the conversation had ended. She relaxed her tongue outside as she got out a quill from her mane.

''Huh,'' Spike uttered. ''I thought Pinkie's mane was the only one that is sentient.''

''It is,'' Twilight replied. ''But she may or may not have showed me how to stuff useful things inside my mane for emergencies even if it's not sentient like hers.''

Twilight's eyes then remained focused on the page in the journal and started placing the quill onto the page. She began skimming along the page as she wrote words on it.

Hi, Sunset. How are you?

She did not bother to write her name and instead tried to impersonate her own mentor to talk to Sunset about something -- although, she knew deep inside of her that this was a wrong thing to do.

Hey, Celestia. I'm good. Also, where were you?

Twilight raised an eyebrow -- what did she mean by that? Did Celestia leave her on read? Because as she looked on the other page, Sunset was the last one to say something -- she was about to write words on the page to reply but turned towards Spike since she knew he is like a fortune teller and guesses everything.

Spike rolled his eyes, getting the quill from her purple presence of magic and started writing words on the page. Twilight peered over to see what he was going to write on the page.

I was just having dinner with my sister. Anyways, what are you doing, my--

Spike stopped, flipping the other pages to see what Celestia calls her. He had spotted 'my faithful student' and 'Sunny' but had chose the latter in this message.

--faithful student.

Sunset picked up her pen again and dropped her phone on the table.

Oh, I was just messaging my friend Twilight as she is on a date with Timber Spruce. Uh, that is the Twilight from my world, hahaha...

Spike nodded in understanding. Twilight flinched an eyebrow and snatched the book from his hands. Spike narrowed his eyes at her, folding his arms against his chest. Twilight sheepishly gave out an apologetic smile before glancing at the page again with a quill.

What about Flash Sentry? Also, Sunset, may I ask you a question?

Sunset flinched. ''Yeah, I forgot about pony Twilight and Flash...''

Oh, this Twilight is different and doesn't see him that way but just a friend. And sure, go ahead.

Twilight thought hard to ask a question for Sunset to answer. She only hoped she had planned this all out. This was probably the last time they will speak to each other since the journal is back to Celestia's property again, so she tried to come up with a suitable question.

Uh...how do you feel towards Princess Twilight Sparkle?

Sunset raised an eyebrow. Why would she be asking me that? She thought to herself, before plotting the pen back on the page again to jot down her reply.

Why are you asking me this, Princess Celestia? She's our friend so what do you mean by that?

Twilight bit her lip, glancing back at Spike who was having an angered look on his adorable little face. Twilight had found this even more adorable but snapped out of her trance. Twilight sighed, writing on the page again.

I don't know. Tell me something that you don't want to say to Twilight face-to-face. Don't worry - I won't tell her.

Sunset was growing suspicious out of this but shook it off and started writing to reply on the page.

Uh, I guess I find it intimidating that Twilight is so seen as perfect and gets all the glory. Like it's not equal between her friends or I. None of us have alicorn wings (or horns, judging if you're a pegasus or an earth pony) even though she's not the only one learning about friendship and destroying villains of Equestria. I just find it annoying how she gets all the-

Twilight paused, glancing at her dragon companion before the lights flickered open and they both were met by an angry Celestia standing at the doorway. Spike gulped, nudging the violet alicorn forward. Twilight glared at him before turning back to her mentor with a sheepish chuckle.

''Princess Twilight Sparkle,'' said Celestia, ''how dare you intrude on our privacy?!''

Tense began on Twilight's face which made Spike nudge her again and send her an 'I told you so!' look.
