Kid Anon and Fluttermom Part 45

>You sit down, and just watch her anjoy the pancakes. Still no words. What should you ask? Will she take the questions the wrong way? hrnn..
>She suddenly looks up at you "Anon, have you been to Sugarcube Corner before?"
>what?! What kind of....WHAT?!
>you take a moment to recover from your slight surprise at such a casual question. You clear your throat. "ahrm..oh yeah, I have. It's pretty great, and the stuff there is..." just thinking about it almost makes you drool. You began to wish Fluttershy would bring home more cakes and sweets now.
>Celestia can't help but smile from your reaction "I can tell by your reaction that you really enjoy the sweets there. I can't lie, it is one of the best places to satisfy my sweet tooth. Shame it's so far away from Canterlot."
>you chuckle, that didn't seem very princessy to have a sweet tooth. "Well, you can place orders right? I mean, I can't imagine them denying you a delivery...given your a princess and all.."
>Celestia nods "Indeed, I place orders all the time. But...it still takes time to arrive at the castle. And you wouldn't believe all the inspections that have to be made for them. I remember one time I ordered a "Royal" eclaire. By the time it reached my plate, it had grown a sickly looking crown....and I think one of my inspectors took a bite out of it."
>oy geez,...what's the point of being able to afford all the sweets you want if you can't even eat them "B-but your the princess right? Why can't you just get it right when it arrives?"
>Celestia sighs "That's exactly the problem, I got very sick once after eating cake and there was a call for stricter inspection policies. Sometimes, my subjects tend to overreact."
>very sick? hrnn...maybe the calls for it were justified. "Well, it seems like somepony was trying to off you. Maybe I wouldn't make inspections THAT extreme...but eheh..kicking the bucket because I ate a poisoned cake kind of stinks."
>Celestia shook her head "The cake wasn't poisoned Anon"

>"It wasn't? Then how did you get sick?" You were confused..very confused
>Celestia finds your reaction amusing and smiles "Well..these things tend to happen when you eat a whole cake a little too quickly. Nopony else was going to touch it, insisting it was for my stomach only. And I suppose I overindulged and everypony panicked when I was in bed for the rest of the day."
>you felt like falling over. Holy crap. Fluttershy would have railed you if you ever did something like that. "ok...so..they thought the cake poisoned you?"
>Celestia nodded
>"Why didn't you tell them that it didn't then?" that seemed the logical way to fix this mess.
>Celestia sighed "Well...they didn't believe I'd eat a whole cake by myself so quickly...despite the fact they were so insistent on me having it to myself."
>you frown, to be pulled around by obligations..to lose out on the sweet moist deliciousness of cakes...the yummy flavor of candy....IT WAS A TRUE TRAGEDY OF THE TIMES! "I'm...very sorry Princess.."
>Celestia giggled "Don't be Anon., you needn't worry"
>"why not?" you ask
>Celestia leans in close and whispers "Because at this point I secretly get my deliveries myself and leave a dirty plate in the package. Then I drop it off at the palace doors. It drives my inspectors nuts trying to figure out why I keep ordering dirty plates"
>holy ....woah..THAT'S AWESOME! you let out an audible laugh "That's hahaha, that's just..hahahaha Princess Celestia..t-that's the greatest hehe...thing i've ever heard."
>Celestia only chuckled with you "Well it is funny. I just hope at one point they all realize they overreacted and I can change the law back without any backlash. I never really want to cause any actual sadness or anger to my subjects...but my inspectors could use a lesson once in a while."
>you look at her smugly "you mean like "don't mess with the Princess and her snacktime?" "
>Celestia nodded "Yes, exactly like that"


>you felt comfortable with her. She seemed almost like a bigger sister than a princess. You already took a liking to her faster than any other pony you've met...well..except for maybe the exception of Pinkie..she's just fun. "ok ok, my turn to ask a question."
>Celestia nods as she resumes eating the pancake stack "alright"
>"actually" you start to realize perhaps the question you are about to ask might be a little sensitive, you want to ask directly about Luna and the Nightmare moon incident...but perhaps that's a bad idea. "would you mind if I asked a question you and your sister...I mean..how she's like compared to you?" You at least wanted to know what she was like at the moment.
>Celestia gave you a warm smile "hmmm, I don't think I need to answer that question."
>that's a curious answer "why not?"
>"Well, it'd be rude if I just compared myself to my sister in anyway. We are both very different ponies...and besides..I could arrange it in such a way that you could draw your own conclusions. I'm sure she'd love to prod inside your head at least once."
>you smile, suddenly your uniqueness was making you feel like a celebrity if it could draw such nice prin....wait a second "What do you mean prod inside my head?!"
>Celestia giggled, she found you absolutely delightful and humorous "Calm down Anon, my sister is a dreamwalker.She could visit you in your own dreams if she likes. I'm just stating that'd she'd probably be intrigued on what a human dreams of."

>your eye twitches...you've dreamt either scary nightmares or coming close to kissing po...oh man, you remember the dream where you struck down "Queen" Celestia.
>You chuckle nervously as you begin to sweat "o-o-oh nah. I'd rather just meet her while I'm awake. It'd be a lot more real..you know..sometimes you just forget dreams sometimes..hehe."
>Celestia noted your reaction and smirked slyly. She started to figure you must have had dreams of things you'd not want anyone to know about "Are you sure? I could even ask her to see you tonight. I could only imagine the honor you'd feel meeting two princesses in one day Anon."
>you get really nervous, really fast "N-no, that's alright. I'm good. Don't need need all that excitement..hehe, Meeting you for now, is enough honor for a guy right now..hehe..Mom always says too much excitement could be bad for you. haha"
>Celestia leans closer "You sure?"
>you nod furiously "Y-yup!"
>Celestia let out a fake sigh "ohhhh well, I'm sure it would have been a very interesting experience"
>haha....ha..it sure would have been.
>"Anon, if I may speak seriously with you for a moment." Celestia suddenly sounded serious, but still regal and comforting.
>hearing the tone, you immediately snap to attention and calm down. "yes? Princess Celestia?"
>"Do you like it here in Equestria?" Celestia asked
>you nod "Yeah, it's.." you couldn't find the words, so you gave a single word description "home..to me"
>Celestia nods "Do you not ever wonder about the home you left behind?"
>you nod slowly "sometimes...but I can't remember a lot of it for some reason. I can't remember my own parents, or if I had any siblings...sometimes it's odd. I feel Like I've grown up once...but..the deeper I think about it, the less I remember of it."
>Again, Celestia nods "I see, tell me. What if you did remember? your home, your family. Would you ever go back?"

>you started to feel uncomfortable, this shift in questioning.You didn't like it. "I don't...I..I don't think so. If my...old mom never came looking for me..then she probably didn't care for me. Fluttershy is my mom now, and she loves me..I'd never leave her...ever!"
>"I see...what if it was a matter of her not looking for you? But instead, that she can't find you? what then?" Celestia asks
>You didn't like these questions, you were beginning to feel sick to your stomach suddenly. You never considered that. "...I don't want to answer that..."
>You couldn't answer that question, something was suddenly telling you it may have been impossible for her to look for you. even if you never ended up in Equestria. You started to tear up, your eyes becoming watery.
> Celestia could see you becoming emotional, she expected it. She had no idea what you were,She has lived a long time, and knows almost everything Starswirl himself knew. And you were not something he's ever mentioned. But she also understood you were a child, and had your emotional limits. She now understood your memories were fractured to a point you had no idea of your old life, and pondered if attempting to fix them would only bring you misery and regret. Especially if the truth was that you weren't even from this world, she had no idea how she'd send you back to a place she's never heard of if it came to that. And then there was Fluttershy... "Alright..may I ask you one more question?""
>you look down, frightened on what it might be. Suddenly becoming fearful that it could be leading up to you being "banished"... "..I said..I don't want to answer"
>Celestia frowned, in fact she made a pouty face "But I only wanted to ask for a glass of milk."
>"I-I said I..what?" you look at her, your face damp from silent crying. You tried to hide it the best you can and not bawl like a little baby.

>Celestia continued frowning "Oh, it's just after eating your delicious pancakes that I've become parched. I hope it's no trouble."
>she asks you those questions...and then asks for milk? that wasn't funny. You stay silent, and give her a stare almost seemingly crafted from Fluttershy's. "...."
>Celestia looks into your eyes, she can see you were upset with her "Anon, please don't be upset. I just wanted to understand where you stood. I've gotten letters...your mother seems much happier with you around. I just wanted to make sure you had the same sentiments...if not, I wanted you to know I could do what I can to help you go back if you wished.It would have been the least I could do for making her so happy."
>?
>you didn't know she was sending letters...letters about you...being happy with you. You were curious, you sniffed, and wiped away your tears. "C-could I see one?"
>Celestia nodded ""of course"
>Celestia's horn glowed as a letter popped into existence infront of you, floating before you.
>You began to read it.
>its contents revealed Fluttershy's deepest thoughts about you. It revealed to you how much she deeply cared for you. That having a son, even if she didn't birth you, was something she'd never trade for anything else. How proud she was of you. But also detailed was a few negative things. Some were silly, how she wished and hoped you'd never do anything dangerous, that she wishes that you hopefully soon will want to go to school, fears of being influenced by negative influences. and there was a few heartwarming mentions. Such as hoping you stay her little Anon forever, always being young. But understanding nobody stays young forever, and that she hopes you pick the path you are most happy with. the last detail however...
>"Please don't make him cry when you question him, he's very sensitive"
>you tear up again "....geez mom...come on..I'm not a baby.." you can't help but smile though.

>You look at Celestia, who gives you a waming smile "Then it goes without saying..that you are happy as things are now?"
>you nod "m-mmhmm"
>you do your best to get a grip as Celestia has the letter poof away. Fluttershy really did love you, and only wanted the best for you. You felt better than ever now, knowing you had a breakfast setup just for her. You sniffed, and again wiped away your tears.
>You were Fluttershy's son. No one elses. And you would do your best for her. It was a resolve you had, only strengthened by this moment.
