Ever since her father’s departure into the cosmos just a few short years ago, Princess Harmony had matured a lot, both in body and in mind.
Many ponies complimented the young princess on what a beautiful young filly she was and how she was getting to be as graceful as her mother.
Despite this, Harmony’s true passion was not on her appearance, but on her studies, and on her little sister.
The birth of the younger princess had brought a ray of hope across the kingdom. Yes King Starry Knight’s departure had sealed up the horrors that plagued them, but it couldn’t last forever.
The tiny princess however, did possess magic that could last forever and though the sun’s light was altered and the sky changed, Harmony’s sister could brighten the sky and bring forth the light that the sun once held as though it was the simplest of magics to her.
Even as a newborn she had held the power of the sun’s light.
The little princess had even been born with her cutie mark showing her ability was there right from the start.
However the queen did have to help the infant princess bring out her magic with her own magic at that age.
Since the younger princess was to be the guardian of the sky as well as the bringer of the sun’s true light, the queen had named her Celestia.
And Harmony simply adored her.
Harmony smiled at the memories of first meeting Celestia as she wrote notes while reading from a rather advanced book
But she couldn’t help but hear a rather annoyed whine echo through the library.
“Oh little sister whatever is the matter?” Harmony questioned a much tinier filly with a pale coat
“The palace tutors left hours and hours ago big sister, why we still here when both our lessons are over?” Harmony couldn’t help but giggle at her precious little sister. She was such a child, despite her responsibilities and connection to the cosmos.
“Homework is best done in a quiet library, and I’m pretty sure you had your own homework to do.” Harmony smiled as she looked over to a teal coloured flutter pony “Peach Blossom, I doubt my sister has finished her homework already, do you know where it is?”
The flutter pony smiled as she pointed towards a nearby table with a few papers on it “Young Princess Celestia has not even started her homework yet.” This comment made Harmony raise an eyebrow at her sister.
“Is that true little sister?” Harmony said in mock irritation.
Princess Celestia just frowned “We have all week to do our homework big sister, and our tutors only JUST left. Why can’t we go now with Peach Blossom? You said we were going to see Flutterbye Village later today.”
Harmony smiled as she got up and walked closer to her sister “I thought you said the tutors left hours and hours ago”
Celestia pouted “Well it feels like it, and it’s boring here big sister”
Harmony sighed, trying to mask her giggling at Celestia’s childishness “Now, now. That’s not sending a very good example as a princess, little sister. Princesses must always be diligent” Harmony smiled as she levitated a quill and one of Celestia’s papers of her “And at least start their homework before they take a royal visit to Flutterbye Villiage”
Celestia looked at Harmony “So I only need to answer one question and we can go?”
Harmony nodded as Celestia took the paper with her own magic “That’s right little sister”
As soon as those words were spoken, Princess Celestia dashed over to the table that had her papers on it to write with her quill.
Peach Blossom was definitely impressed at Princess Harmony’s way of dealing with Celestia, and getting her to start her homework. “My, my. I thought I would never see the day when young Princess Celestia did even the tiniest bit of her homework on the first day”
Harmony giggled “It’s because she knows it doesn’t take long. My sister is still very young so her homework is not that complicated”
Peach Blossom nodded “Indeed your highness, although she does pout sometimes , I can never understand how you can always resolve things without conflict”
Harmony just looked to her flank where her cutie mark had appeared about a year ago “My talent is keeping things serene after all.”
Peach Blossom smiled “Of course your highness, however I am still quite impressed, especially since an alicorn’s talent is usually most noticeable in their magic. However I was simply referring to the way you can influence others with peace even without your spell.”
Harmony giggled again as her sister trotted to her side “I remember you telling me a few years ago that not all magic needs to be physically cast, Peach Blossom”
“So are we leaving now, big sister?” Celestia interrupted, almost jumping up and down in excitement. Harmony smiled, she could understand her sister’s impatience. Flutterbye Village had the most beautiful gardens in the country, and this was Celestia’s first time seeing it.
Harmony looked to her desk and began levitating a few of the books she had stacked there. “Yes little sister, however we may have to wait in the carriage for a while, the guards may not be expecting us yet.” She grinned as she found the book she wanted “And remember, this is another lesson for you” She showed her little sister the book titled ‘A Guide to the World of Flowers’
Celestia just nodded “Yup, I know it’s a lesson, but I really like flowers” She nuzzled up against Harmony “And I know you will tell me all about the flowers we are going to see while we wait”

Harmony nuzzled her sister back “Of course, and Peach Blossom will too. After all, Flutterbye Village is the home of the flutter ponies.”

Flutterbye village wasn’t really all that far from the royal city and so it did not take long at all for the princesses to arrive by carriage, especially since the speedy fieries pulled it.
Harmony turned to her sister “Now remember, behave yourself and stay by my side.” Celestia nodded with a smile as Peach Blossom helped her out of the carriage
“Yes big sister, I promise” the younger princess chirped as she tried to see all she could while staying in one place.
“Hmm, it appears that the instructor for young Princess Celestia’s lessons has already arrived” Peach Blossom said as she pointed to another royal carriage close by where the fiery guard has stopped.
Harmony looked to Celestia as she exited their carriage “Well lets find him then little sister.”
Celestia nodded “Yep! I bet he’s in the prettiest garden, because that’s where I’d like to be”
Peach Blossom fluttered above the young princesses “Not so fast your highnesses, you must first have your presence announced to the citizens of Flutterbye Village.”
Both princesses looked to their flying nursemaid “Aww come on Peach Blossom. I wanna see more of the flowers first” Celestia whined
“Yes Peach Blossom, can’t we play around for just a while?” Harmony added
Peach Blossom frowned “Young princesses, you simply cannot just wander into a village without having yourselves announced first, even if the citizens were already told of your visit beforehand”
Peach Blossom then started a long lecture to Harmony about how she should already know all this already. Harmony sighed, as much as she loved Peach Blossom as a nursemaid, the flutter pony did tend to talk too much sometimes.
But after Harmony’s lecture, Peach Blossom laughed “But I can understand your eagerness to explore the gardens here. Flutterbye Village is one of the most beautiful places in the country after all, and it does have a habit of making ponies just want to relax or play”
Harmony giggled “Indeed, it does.”
Peach Blossom smiled “So is everyone all ready to go to the town hall then?”
Both princesses nodded “The sooner we get announced, the sooner we can see the prettiest flowers” Celestia chirped
Peach Blossom nodded as she looked to the guards who had stayed silent. Harmony could never understand how guards always did that, regardless of the discussions that went on around them.
The flutter pony flew up to the fiery guards “The princesses and I are ready to be escorted to the town hall, good sirs. Please take care of us”
Celestia smiled “I wonder if they have flowers in the town hall”
Harmony laughed, her little sister was such a kid.

Author's Note

Lil Celestia. Cuteness.

Peach Blossom is based off of g1 Peach Blossom, a flutter pony.
In the show, she was very intellectual and used complicated words, however she was also very polite.
I can think of no other flutter pony to look after two little princesses.

Well that and there were only six before the show ended and one never got any lines!
