Twilight was quite nervous. This was going to be the first Council of Equestrias Princesses since she ascended. And she called for it. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. Maybe she could call it off...

“Twilight are you alright?” The kind voice of her teacher asked.

Twilights head snapped up from the table she was staring at to see Celestia sitting across from her. Also Luna and Cadance. Ponyfeathers, too late.

“What? Who me? Fine! I’m fine!” She smiled a bit too broadly.

“Are you sure? We, uh, I thought for sure you were trying to bore holes in the table with your eyes.” Luna added to what appeared to be becoming an impromptu therapy session.

“It’s nothing aunty Luna, Twilight’s always been that way whenever she’s overthinking.” Cadance chirped happily in.

Twilight tried her best to ignore the analyzing of her character and pull herself together.

Deep breaths, Calm down, You can do this.

“So Twilight, why did you call us all for a Council?” Celestia smiled sweetly trying to help.

“Well, it was just a silly thought really...”

“Now now Twilight, don’t sell your ideas short, especially before you even give us a chance to think it over.”

Twilight smiled, of course it will be okay, it’s just an idea, an idea I wanted to share, to see what they all thought about it. She was now calm, She could do this.

“I was looking over my calendar, working a schedule together, when it occurred to me. Well we have the Summer Sun Celebration, and by extension, many ponies associate summer with you Princess.” Twilight took note of the bemused look on Celestias face. Still can’ get used to calling her just Celestia. “So I thought since there are four of us, maybe we could each be assosiated with our own seasons. I thought maybe Fall for me because it’s kind of the twilight of the year, Winter for Luna since it’s a time of rest, and Cadance Spring since it’s a time of, um... romance.”

There was a pause. It quickly stretched into uncomfortable territory. The other three princesses shared looks between themselves.

“Wait, I get stuck with winter? When nopony wants to go outside at night? If anything I should get fall because that is when they hold Nightmare Night.” Luna protested.
“Well Luna, maybe we could move Nightmare Night into winter.” Celestia reasoned.

“Nopony wants to go out in costume on a freezing night! And what of the Skimpy costumers? They would freeze! As would the Barrel of Bobbing Apples!”

“I could take winter” Cadance replied, “Most couples get romantic on those cold winter days, when they have cuddle up all close together with nothing else to do...” Cadance was shaken out of her fantasy by the looks of the others. “Um.. also Hearts and Hooves day is so close to winter, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to move it a few weeks sooner.”

“So it’s settled! Luna shall have fall, Cadance winter and twilight can have spring.” Celestia declared.

Twilights brain had shut down. This was just a little bit TOTALLY NOT what she had in mind. Maybe a new holiday, perhaps lined up with the winter solstice and the equinoxes. Not this.

“Um.. actually princess I..”

“I want Summer!” Luna declared. “It has the warmest nights and is therefore the superior time for stargazing and therefore should be mine.”

Celestia stared down at Luna with narrowing eyes. “The summer, Dear Sister, belongs to me. It has my holiday after all.”

Luna would not back down however. “Well we’ll just move it, we’ve already established that we can move holidays around, so you can take fall.”

“But ‘The Fall Sun Celebration’ just doesn’t work as well, and it loses the alliteration!”

“It loses the alliteration with celebration! It’s a C not an S!”

“It’s the sound that counts!”

“Then take spring! That has an S.”

“I want SUMMER!” Celestia roared out, not with the Royal Canterlot Voice, but pure rage as she lunged at her sister.

Twilight sat there staring in horror at the rather immature fighting, neither side using magic or tactics other than those that just seemed to make the other angrier. She heard once from Rainbow that the Griffons called it a ‘cat fight’. Looking over at Cadance for help, twilights hopes fell upon seeing that Cadance seemed to be deep in fantasy.

“Ohh! Shining! You bad colt! You deserve to be punished for that...” She tittered to herself, eyes glazed over.

Twilights mind suddenly lurched into gear. Obviously there was something exil at work here! Some dark and twisted magic, or some Zoodoo curse,maybe it was just the last straw and Celestia snapped, or even... THE TEA! Of Course! They must have all been drugged! She had to act fast before it took a hold of her too!

Thinking quickly, twilight compressed the evil beverage into a singularity, along with the unfortunate antique tea pot, and flung it at the sun with all her telekinetic might. She then proceeded to summon water from deep within the bowels of the mountain that fed the waterfalls, in the desperate hope that it would help snap them all into focus.

There was a series of startled yelps that barely registered with her. Now all she had to do was teleport the entire medical wing of the library to her so she could start searching for potential antidotes...

“TWILIGHT!” Celestia called out to her panicking student for the fifth time, now using the RCV to its fullest effect. Right next to her ear.

“What!? NO! No time! Have to start researching a possible cure!”

“Twilight. There’s no need. We were just playing with you!” Luna reassured her.

“I’m sorry twilight, we took it to far I suppose. It’s just that you gave us the perfect material for a prank, we couldn’t resist.” Celestia added with a concerned voice.

“So... So you’re not becoming a Tyrant Sun Queen, that I pushed over the edge? Or the second emergence of Nightmare Moon?”

The subdued guilty smiles of Celestia and Luna met her questions.

“Hey what about me?! I could have been becoming evil too! The Lusty Seductress Cadenza!”

There was a beat as the three other princesses all looked at Cadance.

And then they all started laughing.

“That’s a terrible villain name!” Celestia cried out.

“Oh! Oh my goodness! Tia couldn’t you just imagine!”

“Maybe I could give you a hoof with that name Cadance?” Twilight finally broke out laughing, all the nervousness, tension and adrenaline catching up to her as she lost herself to laughing at the ridiculous situation she found herself in.

Finally, as the laughter died down, Celestia sat up and tried to rebuild her regal appearance.

“Twilight, as far as topics of discussion go for Council, that wasn’t bad. But I think we’re not going to implement it. As much as we played things up, I do believe that in a few centuries time, it might work out to be divisive and a source of resentment and anger. Either among ourselves, our subjects or both. And the fact is, well, we don’t personally control each season separately do we? We each have our own domains, and we should stick to them.”

This was good, this was exactly what twilight had wanted. A discussion with definitive action taken.

“As for the Summer Sun Celebration.. the truth is I’ve been toning it down for the past few centuries to separate myself from it. In days past it was worship of me plain and simple. But I’m a princess, not a goddess, no matter how much power I have and I decided I wasn’t going to put such false hope in ponies hearts anymore.”

“Besides it inflated her ego terribly and she’d become a pain in the flank for weeks.” Luna added.

“Right, well then!” Celestia coughed into her hoof, trying to stop luna from continuing down that path, dark embarrassing secrets lay down that way... “So next order of business! How Twilight shall make amends for destroying my favorite teapot. Any suggestions?”
