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..."

Subjects? She was royalty? Wow... though...

"N-No... well, it's... kind of a long story." Sakura admitted. "Right now, it's everyone's home. Well, not this little area, that's to say..."

Oh, now she's gotten herself confused, uttering a jumbled "Fwee..." in confusion.

"Everypony's home?" Celestia asked, surprised. "But how can..." Celestia stopped, noticing the creature being overwhelmed. "Here's an idea - how about we make it easier. Why don't we start at the beginning - my name is Princess Celestia. What is your name, little one?"

Okay, that's a good place to start - names.

"I'm Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto. I just arrived in this place not too long ago." she said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sakura," Celestia said, smiling cheerfully. "Can you tell me how you arrived here?"

"I... wish I knew. One moment I was at my home, the next... I woke up in this pod and..." Sakura began before realizing.

"...I ended up meeting another horse like you. A pony, actually."

[sunlightsister]

"That is how I awoke as well," Celestia said, encouraging. "Oh, did you? Perhaps they are one of my subjects."

Which would mean Celestia would have another goal, one to be performed before any possible attempt at returning to Equestria - to find her subject, ensure their safety, and make sure that they return to Equestria with her.

"They might have been... she was white with a purple mane and she had a horn, like a unicorn. And she talked." Sakura said.

Well, there was also the other one who was interested in her tree-making magic, but, that's a different story.

Now wasn't that a description that matched one of Twilight's friends? Celestia would have to meet this pony to be sure though. After all, Equestria was home to many ponies - Rarity wasn't necessarily the only one that matched that description. "She may indeed be one of my subjects. Thank you for telling me of her - I will have to see if can meet this young pony."
