Celestia was bored. The endless droning from the delegate from Fillydelphia had been going on for almost a full hour by now. It was some insignificant argument to settle a dispute with Manehattan over trade tariffs again. Celestia swore these happened at least every decade and it always settled the same way, by the tariff being modified by a few cents. She was besides herself with boredom, she'd done this charade for the better part of a thousand years.

"...and that is why the Fillydelphia docks charge two bits per one hundred pounds of raw materials that comes into our harbors. The fact that Manehattan only charges one bit per hundred pounds is positively absurd! They're taking all of our commerce coming in from Griffonia!" The Fillydelphia delegate exclaimed.

"I'm sorry but if you're charging double our tariff to be greedy then maybe Fillydelphia doesn't even deserve the commerce in the first place! I mean good grief you're supposed to be the heartland of Equestrian industry. You should have the cheapest price seeing as you make the most bits from industry alone! Are you all so daft that you can't budget right? Manehattan would never be..." The argument became heated again as the Manehattan delegate fired back. It was going to be a long day.

Celestia sighed inwardly and decided to day dream. This wasn't uncommon for the centuries old mare. She already knew where this was headed, in a few hours the delegates would reach a compromise and then she would just make the paperwork official. She didn't really need to pay much attention. Thus, she went into her mind and thought of a happier place. A place where it was just her in her room, her tea, her slice of cake and... her Twilight Sparkle.

A small smile crept on the princess' face. Oh how she imagined being close to Twilight Sparkle. Feeling the weight and warmth of her body pressed against hers. The feeling of her soft wings intertwined with hers. The intoxicating smell of her former student's lavender hair. It was magical. In her dream they laid together and had tea. They talked about whatever was current. The conversation would be intersected by sweet nothings and a kiss here and there. Seeing the lavender mare blush and turn away, then Celestia would use her hoof to turn her head and kiss her passionately. It was everything she ever wanted. The kiss would deepen and soon their tongues would start battling for conquest of each other's mouths. Celestia would turn over on her back and pull Twilight on top of her. Twilight would straddle her and keep kissing her. Celestia would use her hoof to massage Twilight's wings in the spots she just knew her former student loved. Twilight would moan into the kiss and then-.

A burst of green fire snapped Celestia out of her dream. A small piece of parchment materialized in front of her and dropped to the ground. The delegates, startled by the letter, stopped arguing and merely watched. She took a second to compose herself and her regality was back at full force. Something she had perfected to a science over more than a millennium of ruling. 'Speak of the king of Zaire and he shall appear.' She thought to herself. She used her magic to bring the letter to her and began to read it.

'Dear Princess Celestia.

Wow, it's been a while since I started a letter like that. No Spike don't write that down! (Hehehe -S) Anyways. I know you're busy right now. Actually, you're probably in day court judging by the time, but I need to talk to you. Not right now. Well, actually, yes right now but you don't have to come right now. I just... I need some advice on matters pertaining to uh well... love? I know maybe I should talk to princess Cadence about this but it just feels more cathartic to ask you about it. I mean you've been alive for well over a thousand years and I just think you might have the experience and wisdom I need. If you can come, please do so at your earliest convenience. Thank you princess Celestia.

-Your faithful ~~stu~~ friend, Twilight Sparkle.

Celestia couldn't help but chuckle softly and a warm smile presented itself on her muzzle as she read. Her heart skipped a beat when she read over why Twilight wanted to talk to her. 'A matter of love? Could it be...?" She let her thoughts wander for a moment. She imagined the scenario. She'd arrive at Twilight's castle, they would greet each other, sit down, have some tea and then Twilight would be here adorable awkward self. She'd sit down next to Celestia and ask about how to court a mare. She'd drop hints about how it was Celestia whom she wanted to court. Then Twilight would scoot closer and closer. Then finally, she drape her wing over Celestia and confess her feelings for her. Ahhh it was magical.

"Uh, Princess Celestia?" For the first time in what she figured was a century, Celestia felt embarrassed. She was definitely caught daydreaming this time. The delegate, the one from Manehattan, that spoke up looked at his princess with concern. "Are you alright?" The mere notion that the princess could be anything but a regal bureaucrat was a forgone concept for these delegates. Celestia composed herself, again, in only a second.

"Day court is adjourned. We shall resume tomorrow at our regular time. For now, the delegation will return to their quarters and I shall attend my other duties." She declared to the room, although at the moment only the two delegates and a few guards were there. With a curt nod of respect to both delegates, Celestia left without another word.

The two delegates looked at each other and blinked. "So uh... Drinks on me at our usual spot?" Asked the one from Fillydelphia. The one from Manehattan smiled and nodded.

"Hell yeah!"

Twilight Sparkle was stressed. Although not a foreign concept for the young Alicorn, the source of the stress was indeed foreign. Twilight, for all twenty or so years of her life, had never had to face such a thing as romance. In all her magic studies when she was a filly, she seldom had the time to have a social life, much less a romantic one. She knew what love, romance and dating entailed, who didn't, but it was the intricacies of it that boggled her mind. She was one hell of an awkward mare and she knew it. How was she suppose to even approach this, much less deal with it.

"Twilight you've been pacing so much you've worn a groove on the floor." Spike said with a deadpan tone. Indeed, beneath Twilight's hooves was a moat-like groove she had created around the friendship table. "Actually kinda impressive considering the floor is crystal."

"Spike what am I going to do?! I don't know how to deal with this. This is the first time something like this has happened to me and I'm clueless!" Twilight exclaimed, resuming her pace.

"Calm down Twilight. You've faced monsters that could destroy Equestria and ponies with magical power matching that of yours that did destroy Equestria." Twilight cocked her head at Spike. "Well I mean technically she did, that timeline was real. You just fixed it." He said and shrugged his shoulders. Twilight kept pacing. "You haven't let it get to you but you're gunna let this get to you?"

Twilight sighed and stopped pacing. "Spike I'm not even sure if I want this which is what scares me the most. I've never really thought about having a special somepony. I never really had the time. And now that the opportunity has presented itself, it scares me because I don't even know if I want it. And then if I do want it, I have no idea how to get what I want." She said and laid down into the groove. She put her hooves over her face.

"Twilight there's not much you have to do. I mean like you said, the opportunity presented herself to you." Spike said, walking over to Twilight and soothingly caressed her mane. "You just have to go with the flow. Let her court you." Spike smiled when Twilight peeked from under her hooves.

"But what if I mess it up Spike? I mean I might have already!" She suddenly jumped from her self imposed heap and gasped. "I didn't think about that but I just left her there with a 'I'll get back to you on that'. What kind of answer is that?!" She exclaimed as she held Spike in front of her with both hooves.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Silently giving thanks to whatever deity there was, Spike got out of Twilight's grip and went to answer the door. When he opened it, a deity greeted him.

"Hello Spike! It's wonderful to see you." Princess Celestia said and leaned down to give the young drake a hug.

"Thank you, princess Celestia." Spike said returning the hug.

Hearing the words of her former mentor, Twilight was brought out of her stupor. "Princess? Why are you here?" She asked as she came closer to the door. "Well I know why but why so soon? Don't you have day court?" Twilight smiled sheepishly.

"Oh Twilight when I got your letter I just had to come over. Day court was slow anyways and well I want to be here for you for this unique problem." Celestia explained with a happy genuine smile on her face as she walked in. The two princesses and dragon walked side by side towards a place they could talk.

"Oh that's very... kind of you." Twilight said, an inkling of nervousness and worry in her tone. "Are you sure you weren't too busy? I would hate to have interrupted you." She asked, a bit worried of her possible transgressions. Both princesses sat down and Spike went off to the kitchen to prepare tea.

"Oh nonsense Twilight. You're a very dear friend to me and I feel... flattered that you sought my advice on this topic." Celestia said with a smile and just the barest hint of a blush.

Twilight relaxed slightly and she smiled. Celestia was at her rescue. She knew she could always count on the millennia old Alicorn. Even if she wasn't her mentor anymore, she definitely was one of her closest friends. It felt good to have somepony to rely on.

"Thank you princess. I really do appreciate you coming here." Twilight smiled and gave Celestia a quick hug of gratitude. Celestia relished the moment that Twilight made contact with her body. She could feel the softness of her fur and just barely feel the soft feathers of her wings. It was over far too quickly for Celestia but she made no show of that feeling.

"Well I guess I should start with what I'm dealing with..." Twilight trailed off. A moment later, Spike showed up with a tray of tea and snacks. He place them on the table, bowed and said goodbye to the princesses then left them to talk. "Ever since I was a little filly, I've never had much time for a social life, much less time for romance. As you know, I was studying a lot. So as you can imagine, I'm woefully inexperienced with the subject of romance, love and dating..." Twilight said, a blush of embarrassment flushed her face. She took a teacup in her magic and drank some of the hot liquid.

Celestia could explode right now. She watched the adorable young Alicorn fidget slightly as she talked. It was so precious to her and she wanted nothing more than to reach over and kiss Twilight's lips then tell her it was all right. That she loved her too. Inwardly, she was ready to give in at the slightest hint of her affection being returned.

"Princess have you ever had someone have a crush on you? Or have you yourself ever had a crush on someone?" Twilight asked tentatively but eager to hear an answer.

"More than a few times to both those questions, Twilight..." Celestia said with a knowing smile, she ever so discreetly scooted closer to Twilight. "Many ponies have fancied me and tried to court me. Only a few I have wanted in return." Celestia leaned in to Twilight's ear and let out a heavy breath. "And only a very special few have actually courted me." She leaned back and smiled. If Twilight didn't know better, or rather maybe because she didn't know, she would have noticed that Celestia's smile was a bit suggestive.

"Wow... I'm sure they were very special ponies to have been with you princess." Twilight said in wonderment. She still regarded Celestia as an almost divine being, and for such a divine being to have chosen a pony, those ponies had to have been special.

"They certainly were, Twilight." Celestia almost jumped at the opportunity that seemingly presented itself to her, but she kept her cool. "It's been such a long time now since I had a special somepony." Celestia took a small pause and made it obvious she was looking right at Twilight's eyes. "I'm waiting for the special pony that can steal my heart next." A soft smile followed Celestia's words. Inwardly, she was begging whatever deity was above her for Twilight to take the chance.

Twilight smiled softly and turned away from Celestia. For a second, Celestia cursed the sky but she rescinded the curse when she heard Twilight's words. "Princess... How do you... how do you court a pony... or rather a mare?" It was slow and the words balanced themselves on shaky platforms, but every word was deliberate.

Celestia could explode, again. "Well my little pony, courting has changed a lot throughout the years. But the basic concepts remain relatively the same." Celestia's smile threatened to spill the joy she maintained within. "You have to compliment her like telling her that she looks absolutely beautiful right now." Celestia said and leaned in close to Twilight. She almost went for the kiss and it took all one thousand years plus of will to refrain from kissing Twilight. "You have to take her out on dates, like say the Canterlot gardens?" Celestia waited to see if Twilight would get the hint, however Twilight did not. That was okay, Celestia's patience knew no bounds. "You have to trust her and be honest with her. Communication is key in a healthy relationship as well. Always tell her how you feel even if it's negative emotions." Celestia explained, the fillyhood smile never leaving her lips. "And you have to cherish, care for and support her unconditionally. Always be there for her. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Twilight listened intently and made a mental note of everything the princess said. After going over it in her head, she nodded slowly. "I think so princess... It sounds very daunting to me and quite scary to be honest but if that's how a relationship and love is supposed to be... I think I do want it." Twilight said with a smile, her worry slowly seeping away through said smile.

"I'm so happy you think so, Twilight." Celestia's smile did not waver, however she clearly had to push the young Alicorn just a bit. "May I ask why has the subject of romance come up?" The blush that flushed the young Alicorn's cheeks was all that Celestia needed to see.

"Well you see princess... I..." Twilight paused. Celestia almost jumped and said yes. "I was asked out by a mare..." Twilight finished feeling embarrassed.

"Yes! Twilight of cour-! Wait what?!" Celestia's smile finally fell. Time froze in her mind. The joy she had felt left a vacuum of emotions and all the negative ones were about to vie for power.

"Earlier today, I was visiting my friend, Nova Bloom. I met her a few months ago and she's a magic prodigy like I was and we hit it off. So today we were going to spend time together. She invited me to her house, made lunch for us and then we went on a walk to the park and then during the walk she began to say how she felt when she was around me. And how comfortable she felt with me. And how attractive I was to her and how she wanted to start a romantic relationship with me." Twilight explained, her explanation barely better than a word jumble. "And I panicked and said I'd get back to her with an answer and then I came here and Spike said I should write to you and now we're here!" Again, Twilight rambled.

In Celestia's head, anger had won the war. It had won with relentless fury, whose intensity was only matched by the sun itself. Nova Bloom. The name echoed within her own mind and she cemented it into her psyche. She needed to remember it for later. She was going to make sure this was nipped in the bud.

"I see." Celestia's expression was completely neutral. Almost emotionless, it was the experienced expression of a seasoned diplomat whom did not let emotions betray her. "Well Twilight that's quite the predicament that you've found yourself in. If this mare actually likes you, she will try to reach out again. In the meantime, I suggest you bide your time. See if she's actually interested in you." Celestia got up, her tea and snack forgotten. "Remember my little pony, she could be after that regalia upon your head. The consort of a princess does receive several social advantages." Celestia said with a small smile then turned and walked away.

"Princess?" Twilight asked tentatively. While she was not astute to the intricacies of romance, she could tell when a pony changed their demeanor.

"It's something to think about, Twilight. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of." Celestia said, not bothering to turn back to Twilight. "Now I must return to Canterlot, duty calls and such." She opened the door of Twilight's castle with her magic. "Oh and if she does come by and you do start a romantic relationship with this mare, I would love to meet her." With one last smile and a small wave, Celestia leapt into the sky and soared away.

Twilight watched as Celestia ascended to the sky with speed. She wondered what had happened. How come Celestia's demeanor had changed so dramatically? Why had she given her a warning about Nova Bloom? It was boggling her. A new set of worries started to set in and Twilight Sparkle was once again stressed.

Author's Note

So there we are! The first chapter of my first official story on FimFiction. I was loosely inspired by looking up Yandere stories on here and finding one about Celestia. The idea of a Yandere Celestia is very interesting to me because I believe it's a concept that has a lot of malleability, something you can play around with and have fun. That's what I intend to do with this story, have fun. I can only hope you guys have fun reading it. Of course, if you don't like TwiLestia or Yandere Celestia, feel free to stop reading, because it only goes downhill from here!
