Twilight Sparkle and Celestia are seeing one another.

They both want it - happiness, to share in their moments, trials and tribulations, all of it, no matter the changes that come.

Now they just have to tell the parents. It should be simple enough.

But a lot of things are simple at first.

My extra special, somewhat belated thanks go to friends Tired Old Man and Vylon for much editing, and additional thanks to Tired Old Man for penning the wonderful title description above. You guys are great, you really are.

Everything was supposed to be fine. Princess Celestia had given Twilight Sparkle her final test, and anticipated that by its completion, Twilight would join the ranks of the illustrious Alicorns. She was going to be a princess, and would learn the ways of royalty.

And yet, even the best laid plans can be ruined by even the slightest change.

Pre-Season 4.

Princess Twilight has been ruling Equestria for ten years and going strong. During the tax season, she gets an unexpected, but very welcome visitor.

Celestia receives a letter from Twilight, the first in a long time.

A letter about the Cutie Mark Crusaders and how Twilight has changed since her arrival in Ponyville.

It makes a seemingly solitary Celestia think...
