>Celestia arose at the same time as always this fine morning, basking in the warm embrace of her blankets for a minute longer.
>Sometimes, she felt like being lazy, but she knew she'd have to get up.
>Tossing the covers off and then remaking her bed, Celestia hummed happily as she prepared for the day.
>First thing was first, she had to freshen up.
>The sun princess made her way to the bathroom to undergo her normal routine.
>An hour later, she emerged from the bathroom as pristine as she always appeared.
>What was next?
>Raising the sun, of course!
>The princess trotted through the hallways of her castle, humming a tune she had heard the other day.
>Getting to the outer balcony of the castle, she took a look out at the city of Canterlot to see if something unique was happening.
>From what she could see in the dark of her sister's night, flowers looked to be in bloom all across the city.
>An indicator of spring's presence.
>Satisfied with what she saw, the princess took to the air to begin her sun-raising ritual.
>Wings out.
>Eyes closed.
>Horn lit.
>As she felt the force of her sister's moon leaving and her sun approaching, she also began to feel a third source of stimulation.
>A tickle in her nose.
>She tried her hardest to fight the urge to sneeze, as she was still moving the cosmic bodies.
>It must have been the pollen from the flowers.
>Spring also came with allergies, she knew.
>Her nose felt as though it were on fire as she tried moving the sun and moon for just a little longer.
>"Ah..."
>She was fighting a losing battle.
>"AH..."
>The moon had left, and the sun was just about over the horizon.
>"AHCHOO!"
>The force of her sneeze caused the sun, which was still in her magical grip, to go zipping across the sky.
>The day had skipped numerous hours just from the outburst, and the sky looked like it was ready to become dusk again.
>"Oops," the princess said with a blush and a sheepish chuckle.
>She brought the sun back to its required position, then lowered herself gently down on the balcony.
>She was certain she'd hear her subjects question the odd shift in the sky today.
>She definitely needed to get some allergy relievers.
