My Little Pony: Reversed Roles

A white Unicorn filly was playing with her sister who was a dark blue pegasus. The Pegasus was known as Luna and the Unicorn was known as Celestia. Never once did the fact that the two were born of separate Pony Races ever bother them. Rather, they managed to find a way to play with each other that allowed their two separate species to mix. These two ponies lived in Canterlot, and lived amongst high society. And despite most of high society being Unicorns, because of Celestia's way of helping Luna fit in despite her sister being a Pegasus, has changed public view on that front.

However, this would be the last full week the two sisters would get to play with one another.

"I'm really going to miss our games sis." Celestia said. "And as much as I don't like to see you go, I know you can't keep being around a city with no flight school." She added.

"It's fine sis. I had a feeling this day would come. But I'll make sure to write every day if I can." Luna said to her sister with a smile.

"Yeah. That sounds good." Celestia said back.

"You just make sure to ace your entrance exam into Princess Twilight's School for Gifted Unicorns alright?" Luna asked.

"Princess Twilight..." Celestia said, voice barely above a whisper.

While there was the High Court; a group of five ponies who were elected by the general populace; there was also the sole ruler of Equestria: Princess Twilight Sparkle. From what Celestia and Luna know, years before they were born the three tribes of ponies once hated each other's guts so much, it brought forth the beings known as The Wendigos. However, when the three tribes finally settled their differences, it vanquished the Wendigos from the land and Equestria was established. It was after this when Princess Twilight Sparkle first appeared. It was said she defeated a malevolent spirit of chaos known as Discord who set about to ruin the newly formed Equestria but then Princess Twilight struck him down and imprisoned him. After this, the ponies looked to her for guidance. Not wanting to distance herself from her new subjects, the first thing the Princess did was ask the ponies to elect five ponies to best represent them. This when the High Court was first formed. While Princess Twilight would rule the lands and help guide her people, the High Court would be the ones to make sure that the position of power that Twilight was in was not misused. As such, the High Court was seen as a way to balance the way the new country would be run.

So far, every decision Princess Twilight has run through the High Court is one that benifits many ponies as possible. Such as the creation of the flight school Luna will be going to that will help pegasus fly better. Or the school that helps Earth Ponies better connect with the ground itself as they too have their own tribal magic. There's even the school Twilight runs out of canterlot that was created to help young unicorns who showcase magic beyond the scope of normalcy learn to better control and grow their powers.

That last one was the one Luna just mentioned: Princess Twilight's School for Gifted Unicorns. It's a prestige school that only a handful of unicorns every year get to attend.

"I know you'll ace the entrance exam, sis. I believe in you." Luna said.

"Luna? Are you ready to go?" The mother of the two sisters called out.

"I'll be right there mom." Luna said back. "...Just promise me we'll see each other again okay?" She asked.

"It's a promise." Celestia said. Luna smiled and flew off.

"I do hope you two will be able to fulfill your promise." Celestia's father said before he put a saddle bag on his daughter. "I'd hate for you two to ever be split up forever." He added.

"I know dad. Trust me, I know." Celestia said. She and her father soon went to Princess Twillight's Castle which was also the home to Princess Twilight's School for Gifted Unicorns.

Celestia was in awe. Everything here was like out of a dream. She and her father soon arrived at the front desk where a blue mare greeted them.

"Hello. My name is Trixe Lunamoon. I'm the one checking everypony in for the entrance exam. Please state your child's name so I can look it up." The Blue Mare said.

"It's Celestia." Celestia's Father said.

"Celestia...Celestia...Celestia..." Trixie said. "...Hmm...sorry, I don't see her name on the list." She said.

"But...but that can't be right..." Celestia said. "Here...I have the letter from the school." She added, handing over the letter which did have the official seal of approval from the High Court on it.

"...Hmm...this does look legit." Trixie said. Suddenly a big purple dragon with green scales came in.

"Hey Trixie, Twilight has an updated list of attendees that was supposed to be given to you yesterday morning but the staff forgot to send it to you." The Dragon said before handing Trixie a slightly bigger list then the one she had.

"Figures. Knowing her highness, she's already taken care of giving the person who was supposed to take care of that a verbal lashing." Trixie said. "Oh well...I can't fault Twilight for just doing her job." She said.

"Err...pardon me..." Celestia said. "But you both talk like your friends with Princess Twilight or something..." She added.

"That's because we are." Trixie said.

"Oh..." Celestia simply stated.

"Oh hey, and what do you know? The updated list DOES have your name on it Celestia. So I guess since your the first one here, you can go right ahead." Trixie said.

"Thanks Miss Lunamoon." Celestia said, smiling and went off with her father.

"...I just have the strangest feeling about that filly..." Trixie said.

"Me too." The Dragon said and went off after Celestia and her father.

Celestia and her father were soon in a very large testing area.

"Whoa...this place is awesome." Celestia said.

"Hmm? You don't look all that gifted to me." One of the judges noted.

"You haven't seen what I can do yet!" Celestia commented.

"Perhaps, but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't even get in." The same judge said. "Bring in the Pheonix Egg." He said before a red egg with a flame design on it was brought in.

"Wait...what are you doing?!" The Dragon exclaimed.

"Please. If she's really gifted she can hatch this thing easy." The same judge kept saying.

"You do realize that if you fail one more gifted unicorn with this stupid egg that no one has been able to hatch yet, your going to be fired." The Dragon exclaimed.

"So? If she can't hatch it, she doesn't deserve to be here." The same judge said.

"Blueblood, this is your final warning: Use a different test or else." The Dragon said, looking angerily at the judge who kept this act up.

"I just have to hatch the egg right?" Celestia asked.

"Um...come again?" The Dragon asked.

"The egg...I just have to hatch it right?" Celestia asked.

"No pony has been able to hatch it." The Dragon said.

"Dragon, what's your name?" Celestia asked.

"It's Spike." The Dragon said.

"Well Mister Spike, my sister and I have a saying..." Celestia turned her attention to the Phoenix Egg. "...There's a first time for everything." She added before she started unleashing her magic as much as she could on the Egg.

"Wait, what are you doing?!" Spike exclaimed. Celestia said nothing, her focus solely on the egg in front of her. She would not fail this test. Not on her life.

...An hour passed, and Celestia was wearing out from pouring so much magic onto a single target.

"Damn...that's one...tough egg...to crack..." Celestia said, winded.

"This is aburd! Everyone knows Pheonix Eggs are incredibly resistant to magic! And what's more, there's no way a child could ever hope to hatch one let alone a unicorn! Only an Alicorn could ever hope to hatch a Pheonix Egg. What kind of school are you running here?!" Celestia's Father said.

Suddenly there was a loud BOOM! sound before a magical rainbow scattered and Suddenly Celestia found her magic working overtime before it hatched the egg, turned the judges and her father into various objects. Only Spike seemed to be spared from her magic's wrath. Suddenly however, Celestia passed out, spent. But then everything besides the hatching of the egg was undone.

"Twilight, thank god your here!" Spike said.

"Sorry I was running late. Moondancer wanted to chat about her upcoming birthday party. As a member of the High Court, I decided that her party would be held here at the castle. Plus, she is a very close friend of mine." Princess Twilight said, as she entered the room.

"P-Princess Twilight..." Celestia said as she came too.

"At ease, young Celestia." Princess Twilight said. Suddenly a young hatchling Pheonix soon circled over Celestia.

"I...I did it?" Celestia asked.

"Yes. You did. However, while you may be getting off the hook considering your magic went out of your control, another unicorn is not going to be so lucky" Princess Twilight said before Blueblood was envoloped in her magic. Soon five more ponies entered the room. Amongst them were two unicorns, a pegasus, and an Earth Pony. One of unicorns Celestia knew as Starlight Glimmer but the others she had no knowledge of. She only knew of Starlight Glimmer as Starlight Glimmer is known for creating Our Town which formed during Discord's time as a way for ponies to protect one another in a village.

"Gee, no wonder no pony voted you in my place huh Blueblood?" The other unicorn said.

"You...you just got lucky!" Blueblood said as he was brought forth the princess and the High Concil.

"I highly doubt that, Blueblood. We of the High Council thought that revoking your royal status that you had as result of you being Princess Twilight Sparkle's Second Cousin Twice Removed was enough of a warning to you, Blueblood." Starlight Glimmer said.

"Yet despite that, time and time again, we have had many failures in the entrance exam as of late ever since you've been appointed judge. Princess Twilight's School for Gifted Unicorns can't keep itself afloat if year after year, no one is able to get in." The Pegasus said.

"As such, all Princess Twilight has to do now is give the word, and it's off to Tartarus for you until you've decided to shape up." The Earth Pony said.

"! No! Anything but that! Anything but Tartarus!" Blueblood said.

"Tartarus is going a bit too far. So, I'll give you one last chance: I want you...to run away. Run away from Equestria and never return." Princess Twilight said.

"Wh-what?!" Blueblood said.

"If the high concil will agree, I hearby exile you from Equestria, ex-prince Blueblood." Princess Twilight said. "Of course, if you don't like that, there is still the option of Tartarus. Take your pick." Princess Twilight said.

"! I'll leave. I promise I'll leave! I'll leave and never return! Honest!" Blueblood said.

"Don't make me regret this." Princess Twilight said and let Blueblood go who left the building without a second thought.

"Um...Princess?" Celestia's father spoke up. "What was...that about?" He asked.

"Me doing my job. Moondancer, given the circumstances, would you mind taking over as the third judge for the rest of the applicants this year?" Princess Twilight said to the unicorn Celestia didn't recognize.

"Of course Twilight. It'd be my pleasure." Moondancer said.

"So...does this mean I'm in the school?" Celestia said, finally able to get up.

"Yes. But there's something else you should be aware of." Princess Twilight said, and pointed to Celestia's Flank. The unicorn gasped when she saw what was there.

"MY CUTIE MARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE MY CUTIE MARK!" Celestia said.

"Indeed you do." Princess Twilight said.
