Meeting-It was the final selection for the royal guard and Princess Celestia was required to make an appearance to deliver the final verdict of who makes it into the guard and who is sent packing home. There she meets the young, determined, and somewhat cocky Rainbow Dash, fully convinced she’s got this test in the bag. Her many years of flight school, camp, and endless years of training brought her to this point, ready to perform her many skills in front of an audience of her royals and trainers. She was a shoo-in for the spot on Celestia’s guard, wowing the judges and royals with her almost showy, yet effective, flight battle skills, earning herself the spot of Celestia’s right-hoof personal guard. Unlike what others may think, Celestia likes to interact with her guards as they keep her company through mindless paperwork, meetings, and royal appearances, those on her personal guard get a glimpse into her personal life outside of her royal appearance and Rainbow Dash fell hard. Celestia found herself extremely comfortable with Rainbow Dash, often seeking her out alone for those sleepless nights staying up signing endless paperwork, often falling asleep together on top of endless scrolls and broken quills. Celestia always found Rainbow’s flustered face adorable as she apologized profusely for falling asleep on the job, especially once she found herself waking up underneath the warmth of Celestia’s wing wrapped around her. It was during one of these endless apologies before Celestia “shut her up” with a gentle kiss telling her it was okay.
