Unforeseen Consequences - Back to the future

>The little Celestia fidgeted with her mane and giggled ”I-I still can’t believe t-that I’m in front of a real prince, b-but you know… my sister and I have always, ALWAYS dreamed of becoming princesses, b-but” she sighed and gently hit her head “What am I saying? You already knew that… mmm”
“Heh, it’s not like it’s an impossible dream, at least not for someone as great as you”
>”Y-You think I-I’m great…” The little filly tapped her chin and then gasped in excitement “Oh! I bet you don’t know this! Luna and I have like, the most useful and important cutie marks! Or well…” she smiled you awkwardly “T-That’s what Starswirl always tell us, mmm… do you know who Starswirl the bearded is?”
>She then hit her head again and angrily muttered to herself before you could say anything “Dumb, dumb, dumb! Of course, you know Starswirl and his hairy nose! You have a lot of books written by him!”
>You gently held her hooves and placed them on the ground
“Celestia, please, I know that time travel can be confusing…”
>No, you didn’t, only talentless hacks devoted themselves to study a dead-end field like time travel.
“But that’s no reason to hurt your beautiful face in such way”
>The little Celestia looked you right in the eye, then at her hooves that you were still holding, then back at you, and blushed “O-Okay…”
“Now, what do you say if I introduce you to my friend? Hey, Philomena, would you be so kind to come here and say hi?”
>After flying for a bit, Philomena elegantly descended and landed on top of the little Celestia’s head. After that, she let out a little happy screech.
>”Oh, I’m sorry Philomena, but I can’t understand you…” The little Celestia turned to you, eyes half closed “But I’m sure Prince Anon can… he can do anything…”
>What she just said or rather, the smooth way that she pronounced those words… there was something about it that you found deeply disturbing…

“H-Hey, could you not call me Prince Anon, please? We’re among friends here, and trust me, despite my title, I’m not really that fond of formalities.”
>”Awwww! But I like to call you Prince Anon, it sounds cute…. and I like cute things” The little Celestia happily giggled as she leaned a little close to you… maybe too close
>You took a step back, and at first, you looked at the little Celestia with caution… could she be…? Nah, you were probably overthinking her behavior, yeah there was no chance in Tartarus that she could be thinking THAT.
>So you regained your composure and replied back to the little Celestia with a princely tone.
“Well, I did drop the miss like you asked me to, didn’t I? It is only fair that you drop the prince title too”
>”Alright…” The little Celestia dropped her head, but then eyed you with the same look of before “You can call me “Miss” whenever you want” she giggled “I think that I actually like it now, it’s cute, and as I said…” she got closer to you again “I like cute things…”
>… Okay, where the heck was Moon Dancer?!
>You took a step back and nervously looked at Philomena
“H-Hey Philomena, you w-were saying that you wanted to be friends with Celestia, right?”
>The little Celestia clapped her hooves as she turned to the phoenix “Really?! Because, lemme tell you, I would simply love to be your friend! Phoenixes are so great!”
>”Mhm! And they are supposed to bring good fortune too” The little Luna said as she flew to Celestia. Then, she gently patted Philomena’s head “Hello there Miss Phoenix, excuse me for my rudeness but I have to say that your feathers are really pretty, oh! Are you a friend of Mr. Goggles Colt? Would you like to be my friend too?”

>”Lunaaa!” The little Celestia groaned “What kind of dumb nickname is that?! His name is Prince Anon! You should be more respectful, you know? Like, he’s a real prince and a ruler of a kingdom. So you gotta call him for his real name, understand?”
>”Oh! But I already know his name” The little Luna looked back at Wind Rider who was happily waving at her “Mr. Wind Rider told me everything, it is just that I like to call him by that name more.” She then turned to you and looked you with kind eyes “Do you mind if I keep call you Mr. Goggles Colt?”
>That smile man! No matter the form that Luna may take, no matter the age that she might have, the truth is that you are not strong enough to break that smile.
“Well Miss Luna, if you prefer to call me that way, who am I to stop you? After all, we are friends now, right?”
>The little Luna nodded “Thank you, Mr. Goggles Colt, you are as kind as Windy Ride told me. Oh! And speaking of that cute manticore, he told me that he feels tired and needs to rest for a little bit, so he was a little nervous to tell you directly, but considering how nice you are, I am sure that you won’t mind a bit.”
>What?! That furball is calling quits already?! That guy… that frickin’ guy. No, no… you can’t get angry, not in front of them, that would ruin your whole plan…
“Yeah… I understand, and you are right Miss Luna, I am not angry…”
>You glared at the manticore who just shrugged before returning to the forest.
“Not. At. All… Wind Rider is not exactly what you would call young, in fact, I think that he’s older than the castle itself, so it is logical that my furry friend would need to rest after having a little fun… at least Philomena is still here.”
>Philomena let out another happy screech as she rubbed her face against Little Celestia, which would have been fine if the little filly didn’t ask a very disturbing question “So, Philomena… what can you tell me about your cute friend over there?”

>Great Scott! You really overdid it! Y-your mother has the hots for you… oh heavens, this is like a living nightmare! You had to change the subject and pronto!
>That old manticore might have left you to your own luck, but you still had Philomena, and you were sure that together, you would be able to pull this through before those very tardy mares arrived.
>Philomena stared at the little Celestia, rubbed her cheek against hers and then let out another screech before flying away…
>”Well, that was… unexpected” The little Celestia tapped her chin “Did I say something bad? Because I don’t think I did. I just asked her about the cute prince.”
>Of course, you said something bad! That’s the reason why Philomena left! And you don’t blame her, this was getting too weird!
>Heck, if you could, you would run away from this too! Aaaaaah! Why was this happening?!
>The little Luna tilted her head and addressed her sister with a calm voice ”I am afraid that I won’t be able to translate what Miss Phoenix said because I am only familiar with the language of the creatures that lives in the dark forests and phoenixes live in the golden ones.”
>”Awww, shucks!” The little Celestia dropped her head before turning to you with a sly grin “But that doesn’t matter because I still have my prince with me… and he’s gonna tell me everything about him, riiiiight?”
>You looked nervously at the little filly, you took a step back and gulped.
“I have a better idea! Why don’t we stop talking about me? Trust me, I’m a very boring fellow, I mean, my hobbies are chess, physics, and math, there is nothing exciting about that boring stuff.”

>The little Celestia tilted her head back and gasped “Are you kidding?! That’s my favorite stuff too! I love, love, loooove chess! And I spent all my time reading every book that I can find! Oh, oh, oh! And this is doubly amazing because since we’re in the future, there has to be like, toooons of equations and magic spells that have been invented that I don’t know yet!”
>”And yooouuu!” The little Celestia booped your nose with her hoof “Are going to teach me all of it, right my prince?”
>”Oh? So we have traveled to the future?” The little Luna tapped her chin “I admit that this is a very interesting revelation, but… it does make sense considering that I have never heard of a kingdom called Equestria before.”
>With a gentle shrug, the little Luna turned to her sister with a worried face “Say, Celie, do you think that my tricks will work in this time period? Because considering our situation, I think that they might be a little old for the ponies of the future”
>The little Celestia snickered and waved her hoof ”Pffft! Of course, they will there ain’t anypony who can NOT get scared by your illusions! And even if they don’t, that’s nooo problem for us ‘cause we will just make new ones! There’s nopony that we can’t trick”
>”Hmm, you are indeed correct.” The little Luna did some stretches and looked at the door “I think that it will be better if I start scouting this castle though. I will need to know the layout of this place if I want to really scare anypony”
>”Mhm!” The little Celestia was completely pumped up by the idea “You go and do that and when you are over, you can tell me what tricks do you want us to play on what ponies, meanwhile…” The filly rushed towards you and nuzzled her head under your chin “I will stay with my prince, gotta learn every spell that I can if I want to be royalty like him”
>You felt cold sweat running down your face. Every attempt that you made to gently push the little Celestia away was met with more nuzzles and hugs

>And everything would have crumbled if it wasn’t for those voices that suddenly were heard from the other side of the study’s door.
>”And I’m telling you Moon Dancer, there’s no way that a spell like that could even exist. Magic like what you mentioned could only be cast by somepony like Discord or… eugh… Eris.” That was Twilight’s voice! Oh, praise the heavens, you were saved!
>”Twilight is right, I never saw something like what you mention when I stole that time traveling spell… err… you know, when I was actually evil…” And Starlight was with them! Was that a good thing or a bad thing?
>”I’m telling you that they got turned into fillies! Just open that door and see it for yourself!” Moon Dancer! … what in Equestria took her so long?! Was she trying to shave her eyebrows?!
>The door opened, revealing the hottest purple princess that has ever lived, Twilight Sparkle “Alright, alright, I just opened the door, see?”
>She had her eyes closed and had a smug smirk “As you can notice, there are no alicorn fillies in here. What you saw was a byproduct of the explosion the spell caused. Magical residues were broken down and adopted a gas form, making you and the prince to… to… oh, sweet Celestia…”
>When Twilight opened her eyes, her pupils shrunk and her jaw started to tremble. The purple princess was frozen in place as she frantically looked at the two fillies.
>”I…I… wha…” She couldn’t even form cohesive words, Twilight’s fear was clearly visible and only became more evident when her legs were started shaking like jelly.
>Starlight raised an eyebrow and quickly entered the room ”T-Twilight? What’s wrong? I thought you said that…” but when she saw the two fillies, well, she became paralyzed too.
>Moon Dancer entered the room with a triumphant look on her face, readjusted her glasses and placed her hoof on you “So, I guess that we can already discard the hallucinations hypothesis, huh?”
>… Man, you really should have asked someone else for help.
