Suddenly, Princess Celestia! [Open]

[sunlightsister]

Celestia had lived a long life, but the past few days were the strangest she had ever experienced. She had awoken from a pod in a strange chamber, only to find herself whisked away to a strange maze soon after.

This maze had had her most concerned - as Princess of all Equestria, she had duties and responsibilities, after all. She could only hope that her sister Luna was managing on her own, and do her best to escape this maze and return to her beloved subjects.

Escape came unexpectedly though, when Celestia found herself suddenly dropped from the mess hall ceiling, where she landed on top of one of the tables with a thud, her hooves sending plates and trays and cutlery flying in all directions. Have a rather elegant pony - or perhaps a horse? - with a long horn on her forehead, graceful wings adorning her back, and a mane and tail that was a multicolour and gravity-defying sight standing on your table, diners, looking rather bewildered.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I hope I didn't ruin your meal," she said, with a chuckle. Then she looked around at her surroundings, her expression turning concerned. "Now this doesn't look at all like Equestria..."

Pinkie Pie was fully content to stuff her face with the slop. Food was food, and even though a pie would have tasted better, she was starving. Her face was already covered in food when Princess Celestia dropped from the sky, so having more splattered on her didn't phase her at all. Neither did, you know, having Princess Celestia suddenly fall from the sky.

"Oh! Princess Celestia! I should've known you were here since you were at the donut shop, too!"

Celestia peered down. Ah, just as Applejack had said - another one of her prized pupil's friends! "Yes, I was at the shop. Their donuts were most delicious, don't you think?" she said, smiling. "And how are you, Pinkie Pie?"

Having also heard of the war, and the destruction of Equestria, Celestia knew that checking up on her subjects was even more vitally important. Pinkie Pie seemed cheerful enough, but it couldn't hurt to be certain that the ordeal hadn't traumatised the poor pony too much.

"Well, I thought they tasted kinda grody, like the slimy stuff everybody was sleeping in back in that big cave!" Pinkie rambled in between scarfing more food down. "Oh, I was kinda bored at first, because Applejack said it's going to take us a long time to find the Home and tell them to give back Equestria, but now I'm working on getting to know everypony on the ship, so I have PLENTY of work to do! I don't know ANYPONY here, and speaking of which, there aren't even that many ponies, and lots and lots of those human things that don't even have tails! How weird is that?"

"That is an admirable goal, Pinkie Pie," Celestia said, laughing. "I am sure you will make many wonderful friends amongst the creatures of this ship. But you do know a few ponies - after all, your friends Applejack and Rarity are here, as am I."

"Oh, I'm not gonna forget about you! I just have to make friends with everypony else, too, and that way we can ALL be friends!" To Pinkie, this was the most brilliant of brilliant plans. "There's gonna be SO many parties, just thinking about it makes me all giggly!"

[sunlightsister]

Celestia laughed again. "I know you won't, Pinkie Pie. And I think a few parties will be good for us. Things won't be easy here, and we'll all need something to help keep our spirits up."
