Telekinesis Part 14

>"Unfortunately, I have my duties to attend to."
>Celestia drops her head solemnly.
>You think briefly, then fish a bit out of your pouch.
>You use your thumbnails to scratch a new design on it.
"Hello. I am the sovereign country of Anonymous."
>She seems confused.
"Since the rarer something is, the more valuable is, if I have something that there's only one of, it has infinite value."
>"I suppose that makes sense."
"I would like to trade you your entire country for my entire economy."
>You hold out your coin.
>She accepts it, seemingly in a trance.
"Thank you."
>And that's how you became the king of all of Equestria.
>Can't say you feel much different.
>Wait, if you're the king, and the princesses aren't related to you, that means they aren't princesses.
>That'd just be weird.
"For my first act as king, I'm adopting you and your sister as my daughters."
>Celestia blinks a lot, then recoils suddenly.
>"Wait, what?"
"I'm the king. You traded your entire kingdom for a bit, so now I own it. The owner of a kingdom is a king, therefore I'm the king."
>She starts to hyperventilate and mumble to herself.
>You drape your arm over her shoulders.
"It's fine. Everything is fine."
>"No it isn't! how am I going to explain that I sold ALL OF EQUESTRIA FOR A SINGLE BIT!?"
"You wont."
>"What?"
"You're still the princess. Just don't mention that I'm the king. Nopony's going to ask."
>She calms down a lot, and hugs you.
>It's very comfortable. Ponies are warm.
>"So I don't have any duties any more?"
"Sure, why not. I'm sure they'll sort themselves out on their own."
>And that's how you fixed everything for everyone ever.
>You extricate yourself from the hug, and dust yourself off.
>You still have nothing to do.
"So, what now?"
>She taps her chin in thought.
>"I... don't know. I had my entire week planned out, but now, nothing."
"That's why I'm here, isn't it? To break the shackles of monotony and allow entertainment to roam free."
>You glance out a nearby window.
"Let's make something better!"
>You grab Celestia by the hoof an leap out the window.
>It shatters, and you pass through.
>You hold Celestia closely, so when you combat roll she doesn't get hurt.
>Springing from your roll into the air, you look for a hotel or somesuch.
>Locating some sort of fancy apartment complex, you pull Celestia's wings out, and start to glide towards it.
>You didn't get enough air to glide more than half way there, so as you approach the ground you swing Celestia out from under you, and make her piggyback you.
>Touching down, you sprint at top speed in a straight line towards the complex.
>You slide under, hop over, sidestep and plow through all the ponies in your way.
>They can't catch you, you're going too fast.
>Seeing an opportunity, you jump at a wall in an alleyway.
>Then, you kick off and flip, facing another wall.
>And again, and again.
>Performing a three point landing on one of the roofs, you don't stop moving.
>You charge straight towards your goal, and spring off the building.
>Swinging Celestia off your back again, you deploy her wings, and glide the rest of the way to the apartment complex.
>Straight into a top storey window.
>You pull the air brakes as soon as you clear the window.
>That's the left ear, in case you were wondering.
>At any rate, Celestia completely stops in mid air inside one of the apartments.
>You calmly dismount, and tug Celestia's ear again.
>She falls to the floor, and you pick her up and put her into piggyback position again.
>You sweep up the shards of glass off the floor, and toss them out the window.
>It's time to fix an apartment complex.
>You burst out the door into the corridor.
>There's a staircase at one end, and you sprint towards it.
>You leap into the staircase, and bounce off the wall.
>From there it's easy sailing to the bottom floor, hitting every step on the way.
>You make sure Celestia doesn't get hit. She wouldn't like that.
>Once you get there, you flip into a standing position.
>The pony at the front desk is kind of freaking out.
"By order of the king, I'm renovating this place!"
>Now, what does this place really need?
>Hmmm.
>That staircase has to go, it's far too unsafe.
>You go up to the second floor, and tear the exit from the staircase off.
>Then, you slot it in place downstairs.
>There! Now, instead of having a dangeous staircase there, it just leads into the second floor!
>But there's more floors than that.
>You exit the building, and climb up the air to the third floor, and open a window.
>You climb in and enter the corridor, then head to the staircase.
>Tear the exit off, stop being in the staircase
>And start being at the end of the second floor.
>You slot the exit in at the end of the corridor.
>Now the corridor is twice as long, and goes through both the second and third floors.
>Beautiful.
>You do the same thing for the rest of the floors.
>This takes a few minutes.
>The only problem now is that it's kind of hard to get to the top floor from the start.
>You go to the end of the corridor, and trace a door on it with your fingertip.
>Then, you tear the other side your new door off.
>Lunging back to the start, you slap your side of the door on a wall.
>Now the corridor is a massive loop.
>If you go too far one way, you end up where you started.
>That's enough for now. You'll make all the rooms beach front property later.
>You exit the building, and start climbing it.
>Once you get to the top, you take Celestia off your shoulders, and get ready to deploy wings.
>Take a run up, leap off and flick out Celestia's wings.
>You glide over Canterlot.
>It's still lit by the orbs of sunlight you made, and the sun is going down.
>It looks nice, but it's too plain for a city of magic atop a floating island.
>Being king, you're sure you can fix that.
>But, that comes later. You've done enough work for today.
>You glide your Celestia all the way back to the castle, and land without a hitch.
>You dismount, and walk into the castle like you own the place.
>Because you do.
>The guards seem to notice this, and don't bother you.
>You mindlessly amble through the castle, Celestia following you, until you decide that owning a building doesn't necessarily mean that you know where everything in it is.
"Do you have a room or something I could sleep in?"
>"I was hoping you'd ask that sometime."
>She smiles, and leads you to a room on pretty much the opposite side of the castle.
>It's very close to Celestia's room, and Luna's too, for that matter.
>She swings the door open, and you take in the view.
>Opulent is a decent descriptor for it.
>And there's a bed!
>You leap onto it, and start walking in circles on it before flopping down to sleep.
>Just before you fall asleep, you hear Celestia speak.
>"There's just one thing..."
"Yes? What?"
>"Twilight put in her letters that you had an unhealthy obsession with telekinesis."
"Pfft. Yeah, right. What does Twilight know?"
>And you go straight to sleep.
