My Little Ani

"Princess?" Called the smiling blond boy into the dream space.

As time had passed, Anakin had grown extremely close to the Solar Princess of Equestria, treating her as being somewhere between a teacher and a mother. As they grew close, she taught him about the means which he used to connect to her: magic. She hadn't been aware of it's connective potential, but she was aware of many other things. She taught him to levitate, and to focus on many things at the same time. She taught him conjuration, and the shifting of one object to another. She even taught him how to change people and ponies, a little, temporarily. However, there was one thing that was even more important. She was there for him when he was upset, and had the strength of heart to reassure him in a way that meant something to him.

"Good evening, Anakin," came the majestic voice of Princess Celestia, as her presence eradicated the shadows about her.

"So, do I get to meet Twilight tonight?"

Not long after Twilight Sparkle had become the Princess' personal protege at the castle, Anakin had heard of her. At first he was a bit jealous, but then he realized that not only did he have Princess Celestia all to himself pretty much every night, Twilight was just a beginner. Even if she was a quick study, he could work hard, and keep his lead on her. Not only that, but maybe, just maybe, Celestia was right: He and Twilight would be very good friends.

"I have the spell up," Celestia responded. "Twilight? Are you there?"

"She's there," said Anakin, who's abilities to sense people, and not just communicate with them, had grown.

"Hi," said an adorable little creature that came up to Anakin's waist.

Anakin just beamed at her, enraptured by her cuteness. He dropped to his knees, and held out his arms for her, and she, enraptured by curiousity, walked up and began to nuzzle him.

"Hi, Twilight! I'm Anakin! We're gonna be best friends!"
