- //REMEMBER WHEN I JOKED ABOUT OPC 4 NOT COMING OUT FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS?
- //I AM SO FUNNY.
- //I'm putting this up for two reasons:
- //1. I am not dead.
- //2. I'm hoping this will motivate me to finish this goddamn story and continue writing AiE.
- //This has been the culmination of work since I started writing this thing in September.
- //Yeah.
- //September.
- //Posting WiPs has usually been a boost to make me want to finish them, so here goes nothing.
- //I'll try to update this regularly.
- //Although my words probably don't hold weight anymore.

- >Celestia is the worst parent ever.
- >This is the conclusion you have come to.
- >You’re pretty sure she’s considering buying a dog leash to use on you.
- >The bitch.
- >Wait no, that’d be you now.
- >Haha, loser.
- >Laughing at yourself does nothing to lighten your mood, however, and in fact, makes you feel worse.
- >This last week has been like something out of one of Luna’s nightmares.
- >Celestia has been nonstop on your case about every little thing.
- >If she doesn't know where you are every single second of the day then you can expect to be hearing about it later.
- >Every encounter with her skips right to the part where she starts fucking with you.
- >It feels like you’re under house arrest.
- >There is no other place in the castle where you can get some decent privacy except your room.
- >Now would be an opportune time for an angsty teen phase, but alas, you aren’t that big a faggot.
- >You were in a stranglehold, driven up against a wall, being jabbed in the side... and it felt awful.
- >So, you were left with the one act of defiance you could think of: breaking curfew.
- >Of course, you have to do it just right.
- >Celestia’s telescope gives her an unfair advantage over you.
- >However, it was basically ineffective if you could escape it’s field of view.
- >Needless to say, Celestia was none too happy about that.
- >This was clear as the double doors closed behind you, leaving you in a familiar scene: standing before Celestia at the top of the stairs, her eyes looking down upon you.
- “Save your breath, mother.”
- >You begin to ascend up the stairs in a way that hopefully appears normal, Celestia’s eyes watching you all the while.
- >When you reach the top, you hardly manage to not return her gaze as you pass her by.
- “I’m not in the mood.”
- >No more than a step later, your collar is clenched, dragging you backwards with the pull of your mother’s magic.
- >She brings you back around and lifts you up in front of her, meeting you at eye level.
- Taking the time to annunciate her words, she ignores your previous statements.
- >“Where have you been?”
- “Out.”
- >And the standoff hath begun.
- >The two of you glare at each other, both seeing the other as the one at fault.
- >Celestia’s constant watch over your life has blown itself out of proportion and now her she attempts to keep you in her control.
- >And your… rebelliousness.
- >She started it though, and you were just playing along with her game in your own way.
- >Looking her right in the face, you see the scowl present on it.
- >But looking deeper in her eyes, you don’t think there could be even a hint of hatred.
- >Only disappointment and frustration.
- >You know what she’s going to see in your eyes though.
- >Anger.
- >At least, that’s what you hope she sees...
- >”Okay. Let’s try this one more time.”
- >Celestia slows her speech down, trying to hide the earlier annoyance.
- >It still comes through though.
- >”Anonymous. Where have you been?”
- >You close your eyes.
- “Out.”
- >The once present magical grip keeping you aloft lets go, and you drop down to the floor.
- >You stuck the landing at least.
- >In an attempt to hold your ground, you look back up at Celestia.
- >Celestia let’s go a sigh she probably didn’t want to let go of.
- >”Anonymous, I don’t understand why you must be so difficult with me.”
- >Yeah, sure she doesn’t, not a single clue.
- >Actually, maybe she really is that fucking dense.
- >That would account for so much.
