"...four, almost there, feeling more and more alert now..." "Five, fully awake, feeling refreshed and fully aware as you emerge out of trance." >Celestia yawns and stretches her arms wide >"Hhhhh... Master, did you hypnotize me again?" "I sure did. How are you feeling, Celestia?" >"Goooood..." >She shudders in pleasure >"Why did you stop? Put me back under." "It's morning, Celestia. I had to wake you for day court." >She whines. "No, I don't wanna. Put me back under." >After weeks of training and mindless obedience, her mannerisms have evidently regressed "You have to, Celestia. The ponies need their princess." >She flops to the ground. "But I need youuuuu~" *sigh* "Alright, Celestia, look into my eyes. *Focused sun*." >Her eyes lightly glaze over. "I listen and obey." "Very good. Celestia, you love being like this, don't you?" >"Yes, Masterrrr." "But what do you think would happen if the ponies saw you like this?" >"N-nnngh..." "They wouldn't like it very much, would they?" >"N-no, Master..." "That's right. We can... convince them to accept this, but it will take time. For now, I need you to be patient." >"Patience..." "That's right. Our little secret." >"Secret..." "Can you do that for me, Celestia? One more normal day court, just like yesterday." >"B-but-" "Shhh. What do good girls do?" >The words escape like clockwork. "Good girls obey their Masters." "Good girl. Now, are you ready for day court?" >"Yes, Master..." "Very good girl. Out of trance now." *snap* >She only has a moment to adjust before you give another trigger "*Solar strings*." >Immediately, her body freezes limply in place, ready for commands "Chin up, confident. Good. Smile. Good. Legs straight. Good. Feel your voice becoming wiser, more mature again. Good." >You pick up the crown on her bed and place it over her head "Remember what it means to be a princess, Celestia. Let your memories of a thousand years wash over you again. Ready? Nod." >She nods. "Release." The command to end all current triggers. >Her body is hers again. She stretches some more, then brings a hoof near her face, observing >"You know, it feels odd. Half my mind wants to go back to ten minutes ago and the other half feels right at home now. I can't tell which half feels more familiar." >It looks like she's back to normal. Nice. "It almost feels odd seeing you like this when I know you're still com-plete-ly o-be-dient." >You give her a sly grin >She grins back. "Don't I get a reward for being such a... good girl?" "How about this? Every time you feel the need to regress, and you resist the urge, feel a tingle of pleasure shoot through you. Just enough to feel good but not enough for anypony else to notice. And yes, that's a command." >"How mischievous. It will be done..." she winks. "Master." >And she's off and out the door, with the rest of the palace none the wiser
