Morning in Equestria

by Rosepixie

A series of very short stories about characters from the My Little Pony universe in the morning. There is very little plot, but it is safe to assume that the stories all take place on the same morning, so small connections may become evident. I have no current plans to expand any of these into longer stories, but may continue to add more of them over time.

6. Twilight Sparkle

Princess Twilight Sparkle woke up in her crystal bedroom in her shiny new crystal tree castle. She hadn't fully adjusted to actually being an alicorn princess yet when she suddenly had more to get used to! Now she had her very own castle complete with guards and thrones and everything.

Twilight glanced over towards Spike's little bed and was surprised to find it empty. Usually the little dragon was still asleep when she got up. She wondered where he was as she stretched out her wings (they still got stiff when she slept).

She opened her bedroom door and sighed. On either side stood two stiff guards staring stoically straight ahead. Twilight was not used to being guarded all the time yet. She was still borrowing guards from Canterlot and the Crystal Empire, but Celestia had been encouraging her to form her own company of guards. Several of the ones currently working for her had made it clear that they would be happy to stay on a more permanent basis when her guard company was created. Twilight was grateful, but it still felt too intimidating to her.

As she headed towards the dining room, she turned her mind to more pleasant matters - her project for the day. Rainbow Dash had come up with the idea of forming a Daring Do Fan Club and today was the first meeting. Twilight had already made a checklist of all the things that they should talk about at the meeting.

With her checklist before her, Twilight sat down to nibble at some daisies and do the first thing on her to-do list for the day - double-check the checklist!
