A New Beginning
DIR By: Princess Cadance
Date: July 17, 2015, 1:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
A pink alicorn approached the large double escorted by two
crystal pony guards.
“It’s been awhile since I had free time to spare.” She
whispered to herself ruffling her wings
Cadance was excited though. She finally had enough time to spend
in Canterlot visiting her aunt Celestia and her friends in
Ponyville for fun rather than business. After a few knocks by
the guards, the doors flew open as the princess strolled in with
open wings.
“Princess Celestia, how have you been?” She lightly galloped to
the front of the princess of the sun's throne and bowed.

Princess Celestia was sitting on her throne, wearily going
through a large stack of scrolls. The ruler’s eyes were tired,
and she stifled a yawn as she unfurled yet another document that
needed going over. It sometimes seemed like her work was never
done, but Celestia would never complain.
However, when the doors opened and Cadence entered, Celestia’s
face lit up and she quickly put down the scroll she was reading.
“Princess Cadence!” she said in greeting, getting up and making
her way down to where her niece was. “I have been wonderful,”
Celestia told her. “And how do you fare this fine day? To what
do I owe this pleasure?"

Today has been great!" Cadance stood up straight and tucked her
wings back in. "Well, my schedule has cleared up and I though
I'd come to Canterlot to spend some time with you and Princess
Luna. We never really have quality time to spend together.
Always meetings or other official events." She leaned in to
embrace Celestia.

“Excellent, excellent,” Celestia said. She smiled widely at
Cadance’s news. “That’s wonderful!” She accepted Cadance’s
embrace and hugged her tightly. “Spending time with my favorite
niece is exactly what I need. How long will you be here?"

"For a couple of weeks. Shining Armor promised he'd take good
care of the Crystal Empire and that he would let me know if
there were any issues or emergencies." She let out a deep
breath. Hugging her aunt gave her the most warming and most
comfortable feeling she had felt in a long time. Especially
after all of the stress she has been through in the past months.
"I can't say that I'm not nervous, but I need to learn to trust
him a bit with that kind of stuff." She put her smile back on.
"I also want to eventually visit Twilight and her friends again.
They're always very welcoming."

“I’m sure he will. Shining Armor is very capable,” Celestia
reassured Cadence, finally releasing her. “Indeed they are. It
warms my heart to see how close my most faithful student has
grown to her friends.” She chuckled lightly, a warm and musical
sound. “I wish I could visit them more often myself, but…” Her
eyes strayed to the pile of scrolls, still waiting by Celestia’s
throne. She looked back at Cadence and smiled. “However, those
can wait. Tell me, you must be tired after the trip, do you need
to rest?” She motioned to a set of doors leading off the throne
room. “The castle has plenty of spare beds."

“A room would be lovely, but the trip was actually very quick…
I’m not tired at all, unless you want to get some of your work
done.” The princess glanced over at her papers. Her eyes shifted
to a window that gave a magnificent view of the city. “Canterlot
sure is beautiful.” She walked over to it.
“Today feels like the beginning of something special. It’s rare
that I get vacation time. I just don’t know what to even do with
it. I want to take advantage of every second."

“It can wait,” Celestia said simply. “You are more important.”
She followed Cadance to the window. The sun hung high in the
perfectly cloudless, azure sky, a fiery sentinel looking over
the city. It’s rays caught the gilded rooftops and spires,
making them look like molten gold and warming the cobblestone
streets. Ponies went about their business, faint shouts echoing
from the market district as merchants advertised their wares. It
was a scene that Celestia saw every day, yet she never tired of
the stunning view. “It is,” she agreed.
“As for being special…” Perhaps it was the arrival of Cadance,
or just the feeling a beautiful day brings, but there was
something in the air, an anticipation… “I know what you mean.”
She draped one feathery wing over her niece and looked out over
the city. Celestia let out a long breath that she suddenly felt
she had been holding all day, and she slowly relaxed. “Well, I
don’t know about you, but I’m taking advantage of this one,” she
said with a smile.

Cadance leaned into Celestia a bit after the wing gesture. She
was tired of acting all official in front of crowds and guests.
Finally, some family time. "We should get started on our day of
fun! What should we do first?" She asked with anticipation. "I
know I have been here before, but every time its either a
meeting or a wedding."

Celestia hummed thoughtfully at Cadance’s question. “I do know
of a rather wonderful donut shop in the heart of Canterlot,” she
suggested. “Or, the royal gardeners have done an exquisite job
with the gardens this year, if you’d like to see. And of course,
we can always just go and mingle among my little ponies, or go
see the Market.” She smiled at Cadance. “It is up to you. Hold
on a moment… Day Planner!” She called out, and the doors opened
to reveal a frazzled looking stallion, who approached Celestia
and bowed. “Yes, Your Highness?” “Cancel everything I have on
the schedule today,” she told him. She looked at Cadance. “I’m
spending the day with family.”
Day Planner nodded and left, the doors swinging shut behind him.
“There,” Celestia said. “Now I’m ready,” she held up her wing by
her face and leaned in towards Cadence, as if she was about to
tell her a secret. “Thank goodness you’ve come,” she said in a
lowered voice. “I had precisely fourteen meetings today, and
thanks to you, I just got out of them,” she said with a
surprisingly mischievous grin. She tucked her wing back by her
side. “So, what would you like to do?"
