This choice: Being the ruler allows her to be a glutton, say otherwise and its to the moon! • Go Back...Chapter #4Realization and Dinner by: TheWeird   Celestia gazed at the feast before her with a simple and cheeky little smile on her face. Her crown and regalia were somewhere in her room, thrown to the side as if she didn't care, which she no longer did. For a powerful realization had struck her right as she sat down for supper. She could pinpoint the exact moment it happened, too. It was just as a servant asked the all important question that set of what Celestia considered to be a wonderful life in her mind.
"Will you have soup or salad, Princess?"
And her eyes went wide when the thought finally occurred to her. Why had she never realized it before? She blamed it on the fact she had to plan for her sisters return from being stuck on her moon, but that time had passed. At last, she could see the amazing truth before her.
She was a princess.
Well, of course she was a princess, it was her title. But it suddenly hit her what that actually meant. She could ultimately do whatever she wanted, within reason, and nopony could stop her.
"All of it," Celestia replied.
The servant blinked. "All of it?" she asked.
"All of it?" Celestia's sister, Luna, asked from next to her.
"All of it," Celestia confirmed. "Except for whatever Luna wants. Just bring we the whole lot of it."
"Just a bowl of soup, thank you," Luna had said tentatively, to which the servant bowed and walked away.
"Splendid," Celestia said. "I'm so hungry I could eat the moon."
Luna narrowed her eyes. "Why the sudden hunger, dear sister? You always get salad."
Celestia chuckled gently. "Well, is there a problem if I eat more?"
Luna raised a brow.
Celestia secretly shivered in anticipation. For the longest time she and deprived herself of tasty treat and glorious meals in an attempt to keep her image. But what did that honestly matter? Even if she became a blob, she'd still be the one who raised the sun and she'd still have all the power. Ponies would still have to listen to her.
The consumption of the massive pot of broccoli soup and a massive salad bowl topped with the fancy dressing she usually save for special led to her, politely of course, asking for more food. That led to the spread in front of her. Crammed until just about spilling, the table was filled with a ten course meal that would make a normal pony full just from looking at it.
Or it was, until Celestia had a snack.
Luna's mouth hung open as she watched the last of the pasta be slurped into Celestia's mouth. Celestia patted her brand new paunch and gave a dainty burp. Luna wasn't sure if she was impressed of mortified. "Celestia... you do realize you just ate enough to feed a small family for a couple of days, do you not?"
"Isn't it grand?" Celestia nodded. "It feels wonderful to indulge oneself. Oh, I'm sorry, did you want some?"
"No I do not. Honestly, this is not normal behavior for you. What has gotten into you?"
"Besides that wonderful garlic bread?" Celestia asked as she stared sadly at the empty bowl she had been lifting with her magic. "I guess I just realized today that it doesn't really matter. I mean, really, who's going to stop me?"
The servants cleared the dishes and replaced them just as quickly with many different flavors of ice cream. Celestia magically lifted a spoon and licked her lips. "Ooh, at long last. Triple chocolate fudge brownie, you shall be mine." She dug in and smiled as she smeared cool brown sludge on her pristine coat.
Luna sighed. "I'm worried is all. You look like you've already put on about twenty pounds."
Celestia liked the bowling until it sparkled and grabbed another. "Again I ask; what does it matter? we're immortal goddesses. A few extra pounds certainly isn't going to hurt me." Or maybe a few hundred, she thought. She didn't particularly care how much she gained as long as she got have more of this raspberry truffle flavor.
Luna looked contemplative for a moment.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
