Expiry: Never

  1. 1.
    >You are Anon.
  2. 2.
    >Princess Celestia - or as you know her, Mom - is fixing your tie.
  3. 3.
    >”Anon, hold -- still!”
  4. 4.
    >You’re squirming, naturally. Celestia never gave in when it came to these things.
  5. 5.
    “Mom, quit it. I don’t even wanna go to this stupid thing.”
  6. 6.
    >”Nope. Don’t want to hear it kiddo. You’re going whether you like it or not.”
  7. 7.
    >You give her a dirty look (after she turns her back, of course).
  8. 8.
    >”Do that again and I’ll bring you with me to my next conference,” she says.
  9. 9.
    >You revert your expression immediately. If there was anything that could make you behave, it was a threat to sit through hours of one of Equestria’s “peace conferences.”
  10. 10.
    >”So...have you thought about taking anypony to the Gala?”
  11. 11.
    >You look up to see her smirking.
  12. 12.
    “I’m not doing that, Mom. Besides, nobody wants to go with a monkey anyway.”
  13. 13.
    >Her smirk fades into a look of concern.
  14. 14.
    >”Anon, don’t you ever say that...you know it’s not true.”
  15. 15.
    >You escape from her grasp once she finishes your tie.
  16. 16.
    “Yeah, well...I still don’t want to go to this stupid thing.”
  17. 17.
    >Celestia smiles warmly.
  18. 18.
    >”You’ll survive, kiddo.”
  19. 19.
    >She starts for the door, but seems to remember something halfway.
  20. 20.
    >”Oh - and Twilight Sparkle is coming,” Celestia adds cheekily. You might want to dress extra well for this one!”
  21. 21.
    >You groan. Twilight Spergle has been trying (and failing) to court you since you met last month.
  22. 22.
    >Celestia seems to think you and her little protege are a good pair, but you want nothing to do with it.
  23. 23.
    >Doesn’t seem to stop her though.
  24. 24.
    >Celestia laughs and leaves the room. You are alone with your thoughts.
  25. 25.
    >You’ve been to one of these Galas once before, just sitting by Celestia and doing nothing.
  26. 26.
    >You imagine the same for this night as well.
  27. 27.
    >You won’t bail on this though.
  28. 28.
    >Celestia’s been good to you ever since you came to Equestria as a kid.
  29. 29.
    >Even raised you herself, basically. Became your new mom.
  30. 30.
    >You don’t remember much about your old life.
  31. 31.
    >Just that you didn’t have someone like that before.
  32. 32.
    >Your mom wasn’t around before, and your dad would only seem to yell at you and say words that were frowned upon here.
  33. 33.
    >...and hit you.
  34. 34.
    >You can still remember Celestia’s face when she first saw those bruises on your arm.
  35. 35.
    >Regardless, she’s been good to you and you owe her big time.
  36. 36.
    >Even if it means talking to her socially inept student.
  37. 37.
    >
  38. 38.
    >This punch is awful. It’s just shy of being water.
  39. 39.
    >You swallow it disdainfully and set your cup down to your right.
  40. 40.
    >To your left is, like last time, Celestia.
  41. 41.
    >”Thanks for coming with me, Anon,” she said, turning to you. “I know you don’t find these things to be very entertaining.”
  42. 42.
    “Mm. It’s no problem.”
  43. 43.
    >”Truth be told, I don’t like them very much either. But they seem to be very popular, so on they go.”
  44. 44.
    >You smile.
  45. 45.
    “Have you had this punch?”
  46. 46.
    >”Oh, it’s awful, isn’t it?”
  47. 47.
    >Your smile morphs into a grin.
  48. 48.
    “Actually, I’m a huge fan.”
  49. 49.
    >Celestia’s face scrunches up, embarrassed, but she seems to catch on almost immediately.
  50. 50.
    >She laughs.
  51. 51.
    >”I don’t know why they didn’t just use the same recipe as last year. That one was quite good!”
  52. 52.
    >”...well - better, anyway.”
  53. 53.
    >You nod.
  54. 54.
    >A purple pony trots up to meet you and Celestia.
  55. 55.
    >”Hi princess!”
  56. 56.
    >She turns to you and blushes.
  57. 57.
    >”Hi Anon…”
  58. 58.
    >It’s Twilight Sparkle.
  59. 59.
    >Celestia smiles at her.
  60. 60.
    >”Good evening, Twilight. I trust that you and your friends are well?”
  61. 61.
    >You give her a polite wave.
  62. 62.
    >”Oh yes, they’re doing alright...doing well…”
  63. 63.
    >She turns to you almost mechanically.
  64. 64.
    >”So...uh...Anon…while we’re here...I was wondering if you wanted to...um...get some punch?”
  65. 65.
    >Celestia gives you a look that seems to say Indulge her, please.
  66. 66.
    >You hold back an eye roll and crack your neck.
  67. 67.
    >”Sure...it’ll be good to stretch my legs.”
  68. 68.
    >Twilight squees and tilts her head (kind of cutely, you admit).
  69. 69.
    >You gesture for her to lead the way and follow her to the snack table.
  70. 70.
    >
  71. 71.
    >”So…”
  72. 72.
    >You avert your attention from the slew of treats in front of you and face Twilight.
  73. 73.
    >Her face is buried in a book.
  74. 74.
    >”Do you like music? What kind of music do you like?”
  75. 75.
    >You try to be polite here.
  76. 76.
    “I guess...a bunch of different things. What about you?”
  77. 77.
    >She looks up for a split-second.
  78. 78.
    >”Me too.”
  79. 79.
    >Twilight shoots her head back into her book.
  80. 80.
    >”So, how is having Celestia as a Mom?” she tries, but immediately blushes and shakes her head.
  81. 81.
    >”No, that’s too…”
  82. 82.
    >She looks up to face you.
  83. 83.
    >”One sec!”
  84. 84.
    >Twilight is pouring through her book nervously.
  85. 85.
    >”C’mon...c’mon...let’s see…” she starts.
  86. 86.
    >You gracefully snatch the book from her hooves.
  87. 87.
    “Twilight,” you say. “Let’s just talk. You don’t need a book to talk to me.”
  88. 88.
    >She scrunches up.
  89. 89.
    >”But all my talking points are in there! How am I going to woo - I mean, get to know you - if I don’t plan it out accordingly?”
  90. 90.
    “Well, you’re just going to have to figure it out.”
  91. 91.
    >Twilight scratches her mane with a hoof.
  92. 92.
    >”I don’t know...we stayed up all night writing this down…”
  93. 93.
    >You’re a bit confused now.
  94. 94.
    “We?”
  95. 95.
    >Twilight blushes. “My friends and I.”
  96. 96.
    >Out of the corner of your eye, you see a group of mares hiding behind a table, watching you and purple pone chat it up.
  97. 97.
    >One of them notices you looking, and they all duck down to avoid being seen.
  98. 98.
    >You smirk.
  99. 99.
    “Good to see the elements of harmony are hard at work keeping us safe.”
  100. 100.
    >Twilight’s as red as a turnip.
  101. 101.
    >You can’t help but laugh at that.
  102. 102.
    “I’m just kidding, you know.”
  103. 103.
    >Twilight brightens up a bit.
  104. 104.
    >”Yeah...it’s just a little...embarrassing.”
  105. 105.
    >She goes red again.
  106. 106.
    >You don’t know why, but this mare’s not as irksome tonight.
  107. 107.
    >You laugh again.
  108. 108.
    “Besides, my mom trusts you a lot. You’re probably not too bad.”
  109. 109.
    >You expect steam to start bursting from her ears.
  110. 110.
    >”She - the princess said that about me?..”
  111. 111.
    “C’mon,” you say. “Wanna walk around the garden?”
  112. 112.
    >Twilight smiles.
  113. 113.
    >”O-Okay! Sounds...fun.”
  114. 114.
    >You return a smile and stroll with her outside.
