One week has passed since the royal wedding. Flare was sleeping in his trailer, but then his alarm went off. Flare turned off his alarm and jumped outta bed.

"Good monring, fishies!" Flare said to his fish. "Are you brahs ready for a brand new day?"

Yoyo gets up, and he's all excited. So is Darrel and Pearl. Rainbow, Dorthey, and Piddles continue sleeping.

"C'mon Rainbow, Dorthey, and Piddles! Rise and shine sleeping beauties! Lion face." Flare said to the fish. Flare turns on the fish tank light. Piddles gets up and sees his reflection on the other side of the tank and starts following it.

"LOL Piddles! That's your reflection! Remember? LOL remember Piddles?" teased Flare.

Rainbow and Dorthey continue laying down. Dorthey puts rocks on her head.

"You hungry?" asked Flare.

Then Rainbow and Dorthey got up, but slowly. Flare fed his fish.

"There we go! A healthy fish, is a happy face fish! Right? Right guys? Right? Right fish? Right? Right? Right fish? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" teased Flare.

Flare then jumps into his closet (really) and looks through his collection of vests. They were all blue.

"Hmm... which vest should I put on today?" Flare asked himself. All the vests looked the same, but Flare spend five minutes looking through them to see which one he'd pick to wear for the day.

Then Flare finally picks one. "Oh this one!" he said. "This is the same vest I wore since the first time I came to Ponyville! How do I know that? Because there's Fluttershy's hoofprint on it. The first time she hugged me!" Flare puts it on. Then he slips into his shoes which he had a hard time figuring out which one was left and which one was right. Then he had a hard time trying to tie his shoe laces. Then he picked out some jeans and had a hard time fitting in them.

"Oh, wait. I don't wear jeans anymore." Flare said to himself. Then he took off his jeans, he went brush his teeth, then he turned on his shower.

"Oh wait!" Flare said to himself giving himself a facehoof. "What was I thinking? Why bother getting dressed when I'm about to take a shower? ROFL! Flare you are so silly! Silly willy! For Wizard of Hope's sake." Then Flare took off his vest and shoes, went into the shower, washed himself, got out, then put a towel around his waist. Then he brushed his teeth again, then blew dry his hair. Then he went to make himself some breakfast.

"Hmm... what am I in the mood for today?" he asked himself. "Cereal? Eggs? Toast? Bacon? Oh wait, I can't have bacon. I'm a pony remember? LOL remember Flare? Pony's don't eat meat." Then Flare looked at his fish. "What do you guys think? Darrel? Yoyo? Pearl? You guys know what I should have?"

The fish just look at eachother. Darrel shrugs at Flare shaking his head. Yoyo shows Flare a picture of cereal.

"Good idea, Yoyo!" said Flare. "But what kind of cereal? Cocoa Puffs? Cherry O's? Fruit Loops? Trix? Lucky Charms?"

Yoyo holds up a sign that shows Cherry O's.

"Good idea, Yoyo!" said Flare. Then he runs into the kitchen to get his cereal. Yoyo smiles at the other fish. "But what kind of milk should I use?" Flare asked. Then Yoyo gives himself a facefin.

Then a little while later, Flare was ready to go. So he took his briefcase and said bye to the fish, turned on his securtiy lockdown, and walked out the door.

Darrel swam up to in front of the tank and saw that Flare left.

"Alright, all clear!" said Darrel. Then all the fish uncovered their water-proof electronic devices, the juice bar, and everything else that Flare doesn't know of in the tank.

"Woo! Now I can go back to bed." said Rainbow.

"I'm right behind you, Rainbow!" said Dorthey.

"Why do you always follow me around?" asked Rainbow.

"I wanna be just like you, Rainbow!" said Dorthey.

"That's nice. How about being a little more like Piddles? Nice and quiet?" asked Rainbow.

"C'mon, Rainbow! Don't be like that! We have lots of partying to do!" said Darrel pushing him up.

"Hmm! You guys gotta eat more! You'd be in a good mood more oftain if you guys ate more!" said Yoyo, looking for food in the bottom of the tank.

"You get outta here, this is my tank!" Piddles said to his reflection. "Flare is gonna be confused if you continue... STOP MIMICING MY EVERY MOVE!"

"Aw c'mon, Piddles. Leave the poor fish alone. He's just having fun." said Yoyo

"Having fun, like you stuffing your face, Yoyo?" asked Piddles.

"But I'm still hungry, dude!" said Yoyo.

"How you doing, boys?" asked Pearl.

"Ah, Pearl! Great! You're up! Yeah!" said Darrel as he blushed.

Pearl giggled and said, "You're such a sweetie, Darrel!" Darrel blushed some more and floated to the top.

"Alright! Who's up for a game of fishjack?" asked Dorthey. "Place your bets!"

Meanwhile, Flare was walking to his shop with his eyes closed. Then he heard trumpits and a carrage came down from the sky. The carrage was holding Princess Luna with a protection suit on.

"Your majesty!" said Flare bowing his head down at Luna.

Luna jumps off her carrage in front of Flare. "Rise, Flare Gun!" said Luna.

"What are you doing here? I thought you only come out at night?" asked Flare.

"My sister Celestia is out sick today." said Luna.

"Oh, is she okay?" asked Flare.

"She's fine, just has the Pegaflu. The doctor said she'll be fine in two days." said Luna.

"Alright, but that doesn't explain why you're here. Come to see your ol buddy, Flare? Winkey face." asked Flare.

"Well yeah, kinda. And also, I have to take over Equestria for my sister while she's out sick." said Luna.

"Really? That's great! Now you finally can get the respect you deserve! Happy face!" said Flare.

"Yeah. That's... that's fantastic." said Luna with a worried look on her face.

"Why so sad face?" asked Flare.

"It's just... it's daytime, and I only take over Equestria during the night. But I don't know anything about taking care of Equestria in the daytime." said Luna.

"It's pretty easy! Didn't Helestia give you the ropes?" asked Flare.

"It's Celestia. And no. She was never sick before. She's a princess. We have no idea how thou has happened!" said Luna.

"Well, anything is possible. This is your chance to shine! This is your chance to get out of the darkness, and into the light!" said Flare.

"You think ponies would listen to thy? Some ponies are still afraid, thy will return as Nightmare Moon." said Luna.

"You're a princess, sister!" said Flare. "Ponies would have to listen to you. Don't they know that you've changed?"

"No." said Luna.

"Just do what you think Hellestia does when she rules the kingdom!" said Flare.

Then Luna finds Featherweight and Pipsqueak running around and playing. Luna walks over to them. "NO RUNNING IN THE TOWN SQUARE!" Luna screamed at them. Featherweight and Pipsqueak held eachother close in fear with tears on their eyes.

"NO, Luna!" said Flare. "Royal Canterlot voice, F-T-W. But there's no such rule as no running in the town square."

"There was a thousand years ago." said Luna.

"Well welcome to the future, your highness! Everything's changed now." said Flare. Then Flare went to Pipsqueak and Featherweight. "There, there! She didn't know what she was talking about. Now go on back to playing. Have a great day, brahs!"

Featherweight ran away, then Pipsqueak smiled. "You're still my favorite princess!" said Pipsqueak, then he blew her a kiss. "Bye!" Then he ran off with Featherweight.

Luna blushed.

Flare giggled. "Luna and Pipsqueak sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Flare teased.

Luna gave Flare a look. "THOU DARES TO TEASE THE PRINCESS OF EQUESTRIA?" Luna screamed.

Flare was startled as Luna screamed in his face, then he smiled. "ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE, F-T-W! But not other ponies are gonna think that. You need to tone down a bit. This isn't Nightmare Night. This is an avarage ordinary day. Stuff is different."

Luna felt bad. "Thy apologize sincerely." said Luna. "Your great and powerful Princess Luna needs some help. Will thou train me to being more of a daytime princess?"

Flare smiled really wide. "AWWWW YEAH!" Flare shouted and jumped. "I know just what to do! Meet me at the Ponyville ball park at 12:30 this noon, and I'll show you how to be a fair, and EPIC PRINCESS! PRAISE THE WIZARDS!"

"Okay, but what is thy gonna be doing, until that time." asked Luna.

"Just make sure everypony is following the law, make sure nopony gets hurt, and maybe you can drop by my shop later. But for now, I have to go to work! Kay thanks bye!" said Flare, then he ran off.

Luna looked at Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo jumping rope. "HEY! THOU MUST STOP JUMPING! THOU WILL FALL AND HURT THOUSELF! GIVE ME THIS DANGEROUS WEAPON!" Luna screamed. The crusaders got scared and handed over the rope. Then they ran away crying.

"And so once again, fillies were saved! Thanks to Princess Luna!" cried Luna, then did an evil laugh while lightning struck in the background. Luna stopped laughing and found Rainbow Dash on the storm cloud. Rainbow Dash started to laugh.

"THOU MUST GET OFF THAT CLOUD! THAT IS A DANGEROUS WEAPON!" ordered Luna.

"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about?" asked Rainbow Dash mischieviously.

Luna got really angry. "THOU MUST GET OFF THAT CLOUD AT ONCE!" Luna screamed real loud at her. Rainbow Dash got scared, kicked the cloud away, and flew away.

"A safe town, is a happy town!" said Luna.

12:30 came, and Luna was at the ball park waiting for Flare. Flare came up to Luna with a sweater, a whistle, and a clipboard.

"Hey, hey, hey! It's Princess Luna! Stay outta my shed! ROFL!" said Flare.

"Ooooookay." said Luna. "So you gonna help thou Princess out in the quest for learning how to control day?"

"Well I know nothing of controlling the day." said Flare. "But I know how to help you be a better princess! Are you ready to learn the basics of being the best princess ever?"

"Thy am ready!" said Luna.

"Praise the Wizards!" cried Flare. Then he takes out his clipboard and a pencil. "Ooooookay! So, the first thing you need to do is controlling your attitude!"

"There is nothing wrong with thy attitude!" said Luna.

"Hey, Princess?" said Flare. "I stole five bucks from your purse! Lion face."

"WHAT?" cried Luna. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU DARE STEAL FROM CANTERLOT ROYALITY?" storm clouds started flocking the sky and lightning struck as Luna screamed.

Flare shook his head no, and wrote on his clipboard.

Some time went by, and Flare was about to give Luna another lesson.

"Alrighty then. Your next lesson is knowing how to settle things with another pony without discipline." said Flare. "Now I know you're a leader, but you must be fair."

Pinkie Pie pops out. "FAIR? I LOVE THE FAIR!" cried Pinkie Pie hoping around.

Flare giggles. "Who else but Pinkie Pie?" said Flare, then he started singing. "She's Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie, you'll never really know what she's gonna do next. She's Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie..."

"Let's-let's-let's-let's let's be friends!" sang Pinkie PIe.

"That doesn't really rhyme." said Flare.

"Songs don't have to rhyme to be fun! PARTY! "cried Pinkie.

"Who else, but Pinkie Pie?" said Flare. "She's Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie..."

"Party-party cannon!" said Pinkie, then she takes out her party cannon and shoots ribbons all over Luna.

"YOU DARE SHOOT AT THOU PRINCESS?" shouted Luna.

Pinkie gave an embarrassing smile and ran away with her cannon.

"For WIzard of Hope's sake, Luna!" said Flare. "You really have to work on your attitude, dudet! You're scaring ponies!"

"Thy am doing my royal duties as princess! Rule with an iron hoof!" cried Luna.

"Oh yeah? Well I don't see an iron hoof. Lion face." teased Flare. "Ruling Equestria, doesn't just mean you get to order ponies around just like that! You need to be fair. Otherwise everypony is gonna rebel against you." Flare starts talking in a squeaky voice. "And that's a no-no! You wouldn't want anypony to rebel on you, would you Luna?"

"No." said Luna.

"Then let's be serious now! Serious face!" said Flare in his normal voice. "Let's do this!"

"YEAH!" cried Luna. Then Flare and Luna high-hoofed.

"YEAH!" cried the steroids pony from the Hurricane Fluttershy episode.

Meanwhile back at Flare's place; Darrel, Dorthey, Yoyo, Piddles, and Pearl were playing fishjack. Darrel places an Ace on the table along with a king.

"21, I win!" cried Darrel.

"No way!" said Dorthey. "You totally cheated!"

"No. There's an ace here, and a king here. It's totally 21!" said Darrel.

"No way." said Dorthey. "I checked the cards and I did not see a king and an ace when I gave them to you."

"HA HA!" cried Darrel. "You looked at the cards, you just admitted you cheated!"

Dorthey got mad and threw her cards. "I quit!"

"No fish likes a sore loser, Dorthey!" Darrel teased and laughed.

Yoyo was sitting there stuffing his face with fish food.

"Slow down on the food, Yoyo! You're gonna get fat if you keep that up!" said Pearl.

"I'm hungry!" said Yoyo.

"But we just had breakfast five hours ago! You were eating ever since!" said Pearl.

"I'm a big eater, what can you expect from a Yoyo Loach, sister?" asked Yoyo.

"You know what, I'm bored right now!" said Piddles.

"What do you want to do, Piddles?" asked Pearl.

"Well Dorthey had a spaz attack, Darrel went to go bother Rainbow again..." said Piddles, and then he looked at his reflection on the glass. "AND YOU! This is my tank! Why don't you get outta here! And stop mimicing all I do!"

"Yeah, go get 'em tiger!" said Yoyo.

Piddles swims to his reflection and head-butts it. The whole tank shakes.

"Whoa! Nice one, dude!" said Yoyo.

"I don't think I did that." said Piddles. Then the tank shook again.

"Oh great, it's storming out there! The thunders are so big that the tank is shaking!" said Piddles.

Meanwhile outside, Flare and Luna were standing outside his trailer, and Berry Punch laying on the ground very scared covering her head.

"...AND IF THOU EVER SNEEZES ON THE ROYAL PRINCESS AGAIN, I WILL..." Luna threatened her.

"LUNA STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW!" cried Flare "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"

"...I WILL BANISH YOU INTO THE EVERFREE FOREST FOR ALL..." Luna continued.

Flare took Luna's hoof and took her into Flare's trailer, and Luna followed, but was still yelling at Berry Punch. Flare took Luna into his bedroom and went to the fish tank and made Luna stare at them. Then Luna started to calm down.

"Uhhhh... who is this?" asked Piddles.

"Looks like she likes us!" cried Yoyo. "Hey Darrel come out here! You gotta see Flare's friend!"

Darrel came swimming out and sees her. "Oooh! She's pretty!" he said as Darrel started swimming to her, swimming back in fourth in front of the tank really fast.

"Wow! You have beautiful fish, Flare Gun!" said Luna.

"It never fails!" said Flare. "It calms ponies down, and let's them speak normal, instead of the royal canterlot voice."

"Wait, did you just say I talked normal?" asked Luna.

"You're doing it right now, sister! Did you forget about the royal canterlot voice?" asked Flare.

"Well, then!" said Luna, and she started to smile. "I guess all I needed was your fish's help to calm me down!"

"You can never stay angry face when you just look at cute little Darrel swimming to you along with Yoyo, and Piddles swimming to his reflection." said Flare.

"Wow! Your fish are like magic!" said Luna.

"But it's not magic, Luna. These fish are all natural, no magic included!" said Flare. "That's who they are! So if you ever get angry, just look at something relaxing to help calm you down, like my fish for example!"

"You know what, Flare? I'm ready to continue our lesson!" said Luna.

"So am I! Let's go!" cried Flare. "Nothing will stand in our way!"

Then they both went to the Ponyville Cafe and ordered lunch. "Except for lunch." said Flare.

After lunch, they went to the Town Square, where it was full of ponies.

"Ready, Luna?" asked Flare.

"Ready!" said Luna.

"Are you really ready?" asked Flare.

"Yes, I am really ready!" said Luna.

"Are you really REALLY ready?" asked Flare.

"Yes, Flare." said Luna with an annoyed look.

"Are you really, REALLY, REALLY read..." asked Flare.

"YES THY AM READY..." yelled Luna.

"The fish, Luna! Use the fish! The fish is in you! Winkey face." said Flare.

"Right. The fish. Sorry." said Luna with a squee.

Red Engineer walked by drinking some soda, then he trips and falls, and his soda gets spilled on Luna.

"Whoa, nelly!" cried Engineer. Then he gave an embarressing smile and lifted his hat. "Heh! Sorry 'bout that, your highness!"

Luna started getting very angry and started steaming. But then she stopped and thought. "The fish, Luna. Use the fish!" said Flare in an echo voice. "Use the fish! The fish is with you! Remember the fish! LOL remember the fish, Luna." Luna looks at Flare and it is revealed that he was talking to Luna through a red solo cup, which was making his voice echo which made Luna think that she was just thinking of Flare talking.

"Not to worry, young colt!" said Luna with a smile. Then she gives Engineer a hoof up. "It's only soda. It'll come off."

"Oh that soda doesn't come off. It's stained there forever." said Engineer.

Luna was shocked and gave a very surprised look on her face.

"Nah, ah'm just messin with ya, partner!" said Engineer. Then he started to walk away. "Howdy, Flare!"

"Sup brah?" Flare greeted. Then he turned to Luna. "Luna, you did great! You kept your cool! You just thought about the fish! You did it!"

"Great! The fun has been doubled!" cried Luna.

"And Luna's heart grew three sizes that day!" said Flare.

Then Flare gave Luna some more lessons on how to treat other ponies fairly, and let them know what they're doing wrong, and how to keep Ponyville in shape, like making sure ponies don't litter, don't steal, etc. Luna even helped save fillies from a burning building, Flare and Luna gave eachother a high hoof after that. They both stop by Flare's place that night after they were done.

"You did great today, Luna!" cried Flare.

"Thanks! I guess I'm ready to take on a dayjob!" said Luna.

"Don't quit it though! Winkey face." said Flare. Then they both laughed.

"Well, I must say Flare! You taught me alot today!" said Luna.

"Wow! A princess that learned about friendship! You should write to your sister! LOL!" said Flare.

Flare's door opens, and Celestia comes out.

"Not to worry!" said Celestia. "I'm right here!"

"Sister?" cried Luna. "But... but how?"

"SURPRISE!" cried Flare. "You've passed the test!"

"Huh? What test?" asked Luna.

"The test for you to be able to run Equestria in the daytime!" said Flare.

"So you gave me a test, to see if I can run Equestria?" asked Luna.

"I didn't. Your sister did." said Flare.

"Yes, sister." said Celestia. "I pretended to be sick, so in case something happens to me..."

"Which won't, because she's a princess, and nothing bad will happen to her. And how can a princess like her be sick? She's a goddess!" said Flare.

"If something happened to me, somepony would have to run Equestria when I'm not around. And you did a great job, sister!" said Celestia.

"Wow, really?" asked Luna with a big smile.

"Really, really!" said Flare.

"Wow!" said Luna. "And I must say, ruling the day is hard work though, but in case I have to do it, I'd be ready!"

"Not yet!" said Celestia.

"What do you mean?" asked Luna.

"You only passed the socialize test." said Celestia. "You may be a good princess out in the streets, but there's lots of paper work, attending to events, answer letters..."

Luna leaned to Flare while Celestia was still going on and whispered to him. "Yes, maybe it's best I stick to the night shift." Flare giggled.

"... and don't forget about raising the sun. It's not like raising the moon, Luna." said Celestia.

"Alright, sister. I get it." said Luna. "But it sounds like really hard work!"

"Oh it is!" said Celestia. "And guess who had to do that for thousands of years? And you gone for a thousand years didn't help at all." Celestia giggled. Celestia turned to Flare. "Thank you, Flare Gun! Your idea of tests really helps!"

"I do it all the time, your highness!" said Flare. "And I will do it again, when the right moment comes! For Wizard of Feeling's sake!"

"Hm hm!" said Celestia nodding. "C'mon sister, let's go home."

"Wait." said Luna. "Flare? May I see your fish again?"

"By all means!" said Flare. Then Luna runs in, along with Celestia and Flare and they go to the fish tank.

"Oh look, another friend of Flare's!" said Darrel swimming to the tank. "Hi friend of Flare's!"

"They can't hear you, dude." said Dorthey.

"Got any food? I'm hungry!" said Yoyo.

Piddles was swimming to the front of the tank too, and sees his reflection. "Get out of the way!" Piddles yelled at it. "I can't see them!"

"Wow! Flare sure has lots of friends!" said Pearl. "Wouldn't you agree, Rainbow?"

"Yeah, whatever. Where's dinner?" asked Rainbow. Then Darrel went under Rainbow and boosted him up. "Darrel! I'm up! Why are you still doing that?"

"I dunno, I like doing that!" said Darrel.

"Such happy fish!" Flare said to the Princesses.
