Celestia and Anon: Twilight

>Your trip back from Neighpon was uneventful
>The negotiations went very well with the Great President
>You credit it to the day off you had
>You and Celestia were raring to go after that intimate moment you had
>You got back to Canterlot around sundown, greeted Luna, who was full of questions about Neighpon and the negotiations
>Celestia took up the reigns of answering her gauntlet of questions, allowing you to retire for the night
>You warped back into your room via the teleport rune, and threw down your suitcase and sighed, plopping down on the bed
>The one thing you loved about coming back to Canterlot was this bed
>It was so damn comfy
>You took off your clothes, down to your underwear, and slid between the sheets, falling asleep

>The next day, you got up with the rising of the sun
>You sat up, yawning a bit and going to the bathroom
>One shit and one shower later, you slip on some clothes and your hat, ready to seize the day
>Featherduster knocks on your door, and you bid her to enter
>She places your meal of banana nut bread, coffee with cream and eggs over easy on the table, as well as a scroll
>You thank her and sit down, unrolling the parchment
>Two train one way tickets fall out, almost landing in your coffee
>You save them from their caffeine jacuzzi and look at the note
>It's a letter from Celestia saying that she has arranged for you to stay at the Sleepy Stables in Ponyville for a week, and that you are to depart after breakfast
>You sigh, rolling it back up and pocketing your tickets, and tackle your meal
>You were used to moving around a lot, and you were glads that this time it would be for pleasure, and not for business
>You finish your meal with relative haste and move on to packing your bag
>Out go the dirty clothes, in go a fresh set
>Just enough for a week, thankfully
>You decide to wear your Luna hat to Ponyville, just to mix things up
>You finish packing and brush your teeth, and head out to the train station

>The Canterlot Landing is a nexus of activity, ponies boarding and leaving trains constantly
>The scent of steam and smoke is heavy in the air
>The sounds of families meeting and friends visiting is heard all around
>You find your train, give the conductor your tickets, and take your seat
>Celestia sprung on these tickets, getting you the luxury car, seeing as you would scarcely fit in the seats anywhere else
>Even the booth you are sitting in is kind of cramped
>Seats are pretty comfy though, so you don't mind
>Time passes and more ponies enter the train, but none of them sit in the luxury cart
>They all look like Pegasai and Earth Ponies
>They probably were just visiting Canterlot, and couldn't afford the luxury seat
>Some of them had their fillies with them, and they stopped to stare at you
>You turned to say hello, but they quickly ran off when you spoke
>Kids will be kids, you supposed
>Soon all the ponies bound for Ponyville were on, and with a shout of 'All aboard!' The train started to move
>You closed your eyes as the train left the station, hoping to catch a snooze during the ride


>Much like your trip back from Neighpon, the train ride was without incident
>You awoke when the trail was slowing down, rolling your neck out a bit and looking out the window
>Ponyville was much different than Canterlot, that was for sure
>Smaller houses, simpler designs, and probably simpler ponies
>You chuckled inwardly as you stood and moved to depart from the train
>The landing in Ponyville was much smaller than in Canterlot, but you managed and you were soon on your way into Ponyville proper
>You got some odd looks because of your attire, but your hat blocked out most of them
>You were thankful for your hat, since it blocked out other ponies judging eyes and acted as a funnel of sorts
>You were never quite used to being outside, what with so much sound and color and activity
>The hat muffled some of that energy into a manageable amount, and you were thankful for that
>You became lost in your own thoughts for a while before realizing something
>You had no idea where the Hotel was

>You didn't panic, though, and decided to talk to one of the locals
>Thankfully, you wouldn't have to speak in a foreign language in order communicate with them
>You came upon two mares, a unicorn with a minty turqouise coat and white hair, and an Earth Pony with an offwhite coat and hair that was purple and blue
>They were chatting about something to do with candy, but they both stopped when you approached them.
>You smiled and tried to remain amiclbe
'Hello. My name is-'
>You were cut off by a fangirl squeal from the unicorn and a sigh from the Earth pony
>She wasted no time, jumpping from her seat and standing on her hind legs, reaching out with her front hooves to shake your hand vigoursly
>'HimynamesLyraandthisiBonBonandyoumustbeBigHatandohmygoshI'veheardsomuchaboutyou-'
>She's speaking at 100 words per second, but you are able to process it all thanks to your magic mind
>Lyra has an odd fixation with humans, it seems, much to Bon-Bons chargin, and has been following your exploits and political carrer
>Seems you have a fan
>You indulge her fantasies about hands and scratch her behind her ears, and she melts like putty in your hands
>Her eyes roll back in her head, and she passes out, causing you to jump a bit
'Oh. Oh dear. I'm terribly sorry. . .'
>Bon-Bon sighs. 'It's fine. She's always wanted this. . .I'm sure she's happy, if not comatose.'
'Indeed. Ah, but yes. I'm a bit new in town. Could you point me in the direction of Sleepy Stables?'
>She tells you how to get there, and you thank her
>You ask if she needs any help with Lyra, but she says no, she's hoisted Lyra on her back and carried her home more times then she cares to count
>You nod and resume your journey

>You arrive at the Sleepy Stables motel, and get the key to your room
>The rooms are a bit small, smell faintly of hay, have bathrooms with toilets that hardly work, and the matress is a bit stiff
>There's no desk, and only a small dresser, and a handful of books on a nightstand near the bed
>There's a lightbulb hanging above your bed with a pull cord, and it sways constantly
>You sigh, setting your bag down and plopping on the bed
>It's not that great, but you are content
>You can finally do as you wish with no worry of sudden changes in schedule
>No need to learn the local customs or language of this town
>No interruptions to your writing or reading-
>You feel a rustling in your hat
>Curiously, you take it off and flip it over
>Suddenly Pinkie Pie's head pops out

>You almost drop it in shock, but instead sigh with a smile
'You are quite good at that.'
>You recall she appeared in your hat. . .somehow. . .during your first meeting at The Gilded Leaf
>She gigglesnorts at the compliment. 'Thanks! I'm good at surprising people!' She says with that bubbly personality. 'I heard from somep0ny you were new in town. You know what I do to new ponies in town, riiiiiiight~?'
'Indeed. But I just arrived, and I'm tired, and have yet to unpack.'
>'But a party will be sure to perk you right up! There'll be snacks and cake and punch and pie and. . .'
'Pinkie.'
>'I'll invite all my friends and they'll all love to see you again after so long and. . .'
'Pinkie.'
>You say a bit more forcibly this time
>'And I'm sure Rarity would love to ask about Canterlot fashion and-'
>You poke her nose, and it makes a honking noise
>You have to try your hardest to keep a straight face
'Pinkie. You remember Crankie Doodle?'
>She nods
'And you remember that sometimes, you should give your friends some space?'
>She nods again
'So give me some time to unpack and get my bearings, and I will be at full partying capacity. Organize it for about. . .oh, six in the evening?'
>She smiles and nods vigorously. 'You promise you'll show up?'
'If I am lying, may Celestia burn the flesh from my bones.'
>There seems to be a pause, and then she giggles. 'I'll see you at Sugercube Corner! Can't miss it!'
>She ducks back into your hat, and disappears without a word
>You sigh and smile, your mood brightened by Pinkie's attitude
>You begin to process of unpacking everything, the idea of going to the party giving you renewed energy


>You spend the rest of the day wandering around Ponyville, getting to know the locals and the inns and outs
>You met three young fillies who sought their cutie marks, and you gave them some words of wisdom
>You met a gray Pegasus who was a mite clumsy and had strange eyes, and you gave her company and words of compassion
>You met a large unicorn colt who ran the local doughnut parlor, and shared words of gossip with one another
>Eventually, the sun began to set, and the clocktower showed it was getting close to the time of the party
>You made your way over to the bakery where Pinkie said she worked, and saw that it was dark inside
>You were curious, but you figured it was a surprise
>You opened the door, and, suddenly, lights and confetti and all sorts of streamers.
>"SURPRISE!"
>You smiled and say all the ponies in the room
>The main six were there, as well as some of the ones you met during the day
'Oh, this is so wonderful. Thank you, all of you.'
>Pinkie Pie giggled. 'Yooooooou're welcome!' She said. 'Speaking of, there's some ponies you haven't met yet! Let me introduce them to you!'
>You weren't sure how she knew that, but you didn't question it
>Pinkie will be Pinkie, you supposed

>The party was in full swing after the introductions
>You were battered with questions from Rarity and Twilight, about fashion and Celestia, respectively
>Applejack and Rainbow Dash wanted to know about the apple market and the Wonderbolts
>Fluttershy was quiet, speaking only when addressed, and often only with a 'meep'
>All your life you had been answering questions
>You mention, halfheartedly, you've probably got a series of question marks on your butt right now
>This got some laughs from everyone
>The party was rather mild; no blasting music, no hard alchohol
>Pinkie Pie seemed to be enjoying herself, mentioning she didn't often party mild, and she liked partying wild
>But she knew you were a mild sort of person, and tailored the party accordingly
>You couldn't help but give her a hug for being so considerate
>And with her oddly stretchy limbs, she pulled all of her friends into a grouphug
>You felt a warmness in your heart, not unlike the warmth you feel when embracing Celestia
>Feelsincandescentman.jpg


>The party eventually peters out, all the ponies pleasantly full on sweets and treats, and had their fill of punch and company
>You all part ways for the night, making arrangements to spend time with them throughout the week
>This would culminate on a farewell party on the final day before your train left
>You headed back to your hotel room, and disrobed
>You took a shower in the cramped bathroom, dried off with the towels that were strangely soft
>You went to bed with your hat on the pillow next to you, drifting off into sleep
>For once, your dreams were filled with merriment and mirth

>The next week was hectic, as usual
>But instead of being a bad kind of hectic, it was a good kind
>Instead of being forced to see strangers for business, you saw friends for recreation
>You thought it ironic that you had sought to escape schedules, and yet you were bound to one
>This one was somewhat flexible, and much more enjoyable, however
>When the time came to depart Ponyville and head to Canterlot, there was an air of sadness in in the town
>Not a soul seemed to be around as you headed to the train platform
>And curiously, there was a large tent near it as well
>You decided to peek in, and were aghast at what you saw
>It was your farewell party, all organized inside this tent
>Everyone was there, and the sheer magnetite of the party made your first one seem so boring
>They seemed to want to make a lasting impression on you
>The train pulled in as the refreshments started to fade, and the mood turned somber again
>All the ponies, Pinkie Pie especially, were sad to see you go
>Poor Pinkie Pie was crying waterfalls of tears
>You assured them you would visit again, and they all brightened up at that fact
>As you boarded the train, the town crowded around the tracks and the platform, waving goodbye and saying how they would miss you
>You would have to take these vacations more often, that's for sure!
>The train departed, and you stared out the window, seeing the scenery of Ponyville fade into Canterlot
>It was evening when you arrived, and you were tired
>You made your way back to your suite, happy to be home
>You went over and lit the oil lamp, turning to your bed
>And saw Celestia there, sitting down and looking at you with a coy expression

>You sigh, setting you bag down and cracking your knuckles
'My work is never over, is it?'
>'OH, this is hardly work. Come now, I've missed you so much.' She says, adopting a puppydog look and feigning tears
>You sigh and make your way over to the bed, straddling her and sitting down on body, just behind the wings
>They unfurled before you as you took your position, and you began to massage them tenderly, pulling out the loose feathers as you did
>She quivered under you, trying to keep her regal air about her, and failing miserably
>The two of you casually talked as you massaged her, about the events that happened in Ponyville and Canterlot
>She teased you, asking what you learned about friendship, and you told her that you are not Twilight
>She changed the color of your hat to Twilight's color scheme, and you sighed, mimicking Twilight's voice to the best of your ability and giving a bogus friendship report
>She took a stern tone with you, saying that you shouldn't take your studies so lightly, especially when they have allowed you and your friends to save Equestria as a whole twice
>She then adds that if you continue to disappoint her, she'll send you to the mooooooooooooon!
>Laughs were had all around
>You mention you would like to return some day, and she agreed to have you take these vacations more often, for the health of your body and soul


>When she was satisfied with your work, she asked you to get off and you did, laying down on your bed
>You sighed as you closed your eyes, hearing Celestia move off the silk sheets
>You heard the sound of her horn glowing with magic as she removed your hat, and tucked you under the sheets of the bed
'I could have done that myself, you know.'
>You say, with the faintest hint of indignity
>She smiles and leans in, kissing your cheek
>'I figure you have earned a reward for being so skilled with your hands, Anonymous.' She said softly
'Being with you is reward enough. Well, maybe that and 500 bits. . .'
>She giggled as she turned to leave, bidding you a good night and reminding you that your duties resumed tomorrow
>You closed your eyes and slept peacefully, ready to tackle what may come
>You had friends in high places and low places, and they all loved you in that special sort of friendly way
>Your heart was warm, your body was mended, and your soul was soothed
>You would be ready for anything
>Or so you thought
>But for now, rest, and with it came beautiful, wonderful dreams
