Out of the Bubble

Stay with me, students.” Princess Celestia turned back to the single-file line of Unicorns following her down the wooden steps. They whispered to one another excitedly, pointing toward the ocean shore. As they made their way to the beach, Celestia could feel their curiosity mounting with each hoofstep. Ambrosia Breeze skipped up to the front. “Princess, where are we going? What are we doing?” Her green eyes were wide with anticipation. She craned her neck, scanning the area, and whispered. “Is it school-related?”

“Oh yes. It’s a surprise lesson, Ambrosia,” Princess Celestia said with a wink. By now, she was used to the constant nervous questioning from the students. They always wanted to know what value they were going to get out of each class. It was like teaching a big group of Twilight Sparkles all at once. “It’s going to be quite amusing and informative, I assure you.” Celestia’s long mane whipped in the ocean breeze. Her cheeks were a rosy pink in the golden sunlight.

“Okay!” Ambrosia bounced back to Flora, and the two little ponies exchanged a look, then squealed. The rest of the class followed the pair, clopping their hooves against the wooden staircase that led down to the sand. Up on the street level of the Monacolt promenade, ponies started to spill out of the hotels and cafés to gather and watch. They whispered and pointed to the foreign royal, wondering what sort of show they might catch a glimpse of. They hadn’t seen the students of the Monacolt Magic Academy out on a field trip in a very long time.

“All right, class,” Princess Celestia announced, pacing around the group. Her hoofcuffs sunk down into the warm, dry sand. “Your assignment for today is to run, play, and jump. Look at the tide pools. Study the clouds above. Take in everything, and then we’ll all share with one another at the end of the day. Got it?” Celestia looked at their blank faces. “Basically, just have fun in the sun.”

“Uhh.” Lemon Square raised his hoof. “Princess?”

“Yes, Lemon Square?” Celestia trotted over to the yellow colt. “You have a question?”

“Is it true?” Lemon Square pointed to the sun, burning bright and high in the sky, squinting as if he hadn’t seen it in a very long while.

“Is what true?”

“The sun! That you have the power to raise the sun? I did some research and—”

“Yeah, of course she can! She’s an Alicorn, Lemon,” Ambrosia cut in, and rolled her eyes. “Everypony knows Alicorns are the most powerful ponies, like ever. Ever. They’re super-duper rare, and you can only become one if you perform some amazing magical feat. There haven’t been many except Mi Amore Cadenza, Twilight Sparkle, and—”

“So can we become Alicorns if we study harder?” shouted Sandy Shore from the back of the group. “Will you please make us Alicorns?!”

“I don’t think I’d want to be an Alicorn,” Flora said in her tiny voice. “Seems like too much, you know?” Sandy Shore nodded.

“I have an even better question.
