>You eyed Celestia oddly, her regal demeanor lowered for once.
>She held her covers up at neck level, giving you a sad look.
>Or she was just trying to look cute enough that you'd forget what you just saw.
>But you wouldn't.
>Because it was cuter then what she was doing now.
>Try all she might, the memory wouldn't fade.
>Her eyes, wide with a mix of embarrassment and anxiety, were all that you had to gauge how she felt.
>Neither of you spoke.
>Truly, were this to get out, well...
>Not much would happen, probably.
>Maybe.
>Ponies wouldn't be too judgmental over this, would they?
>Nah, they were doing cute things like this all the time.
>Celestia wouldn't be any different to them.
"...so, you gonna keep hiding your teddy bear under there or what?"
>"I don't have a teddy bear."
>Such a blatant lie could only come from someone as guilty as her.
"Come on, we both saw it."
>"No you-er-we didn't."
>She's really stuck on this, isn't she?
>You come around to the side of the bed, Celestia's eyes never leaving you.
>With a quick lunge, you reach inside the covers, much to the chagrin of the startled sun princess.
>You're in and out before she can do anything, the prized possession in your hands.
>A small, brown teddy bear with black buttons for eyes.
>Very plain looking, but cozy and soft to the touch.
>She stares at you for a moment, likely trying to come up with another lie in the face of undeniable proof of her "crime".
>Then, she sighed.
>"Yes, Anonymous, I sleep with a teddy bear."
"This is embarrassing because...?"
>"Because I'm a princess! How odd would my subjects find it to learn that their princess sleeps with a teddy?"
"...probably not odd in the slightest."
>"But I'm too old to be doing this!"
"Says who?"
>"Me! Pony society!"
>Was she being serious right now?
>This seemed to be right up ponies' ally.
"Really? What if I told a guard right n-"
>"DON'T."
>She realized how loud she was, her ears drooping backwards as she frowned.
>"I-I mean, Anonymous. Please. It would mean a lot to me if you kept this a secret."
>While this was a rather ridiculous thing for a pony to be embarrassed about in your opinion, you couldn't say no to a lady.
>Especially an all powerful pony princess lady.
"Alright, this is between you and me."
>Her frown turned upside down.
>"Thank you, Anonymous."
>The teddy bear is magically removed from your grip, returned to its loving owner, who hugs it firmly upon its return.
"So what's his name?"
>"Sir Snuggles. I've had him since I was a little filly."
"It's in pretty good condition for being that old."
>"I...may have learned a bit of sewing and stitching techniques to fix him up."
>No wonder.
>Silence permeates the room as Celestia rubs her face against Sir Snuggles, hugging the bear lovingly.
>You take a look around Celestia's bedroom.
>That's when a realization hits you.
"What am I even doing in here?"
