by Brian Jacko

Chapter 12: Princess Celestia Cracks Down on the Corruption

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The next morning the girls heard rapping at the front door. They had all overslept and had no idea what time it was. Twilight Sparkle came downstairs followed by Rarity and Spike. Twilight stepped past all of the other ponies who were sitting up and yawning while rubbing their eyes with their two front hooves. Twilight Sparkle opened the door and was shocked to find Princess Celestia standing before her.

"Hello, Twilight Sparkle," Princess Celestia said.

The rest of the girls came over and they bowed before the Princess.

Twilight Sparkle picked her head up and asked, "Princess Celestia! What are you doing here? Don't you have to be at a royal meeting today?"

"I am having Princess Luna cover my royal meeting. I have something far more urgent to learn about and take care of, and I need Rarity's help."

"What can I possibly help you with Princess Celstia?" Rarity asked.

"I woke up this morning and read your letter. I am so happy that God has brought you back to Himself, but I need to know more about this place that you had worked at. Where is this place located?"

"It's located in the city of Manehatten on Clop Avenue," Rarity said. "Sapphire Shores, the pony of pop, runs the place. It's right next to a place called Planned Ponyhood."

"I'm afraid I do not know Manehatten very well. Would you girls like to come with me and show me?" The Princess asked.

"Sure," Rarity said. "I can lead the way."

"Can I come too?" Spike asked. "I never get to go out too much anymore."

Twilight smiled and said, "Sure. Hop on my back, Spike."

Spike did so and the Princess led the ponies into a large chariot that was big enough for everypony to fit inside. There were many royal guards at their sides. There was also a few other chariots with many more of the Princess's royal guards.

Rarity explained to the Pegasus ponies the fastest route to get to the club, and they took off to the skies. Rarity also told Princess Celestia about everything that had happened and how she thinks she got pregnant.

When they landed in front of the building, Princess Celestia got out of the chariot with the other girls. Her guards stood at attention. Princess Celestia scowled when she saw this place. "Guards, go inside and evacuate the building. I want you to find Sapphire Shores and bring her to me."

The guards saluted and quickly went inside. They evacuated the building and Sapphire Shores came out with two royal guards leading her way.

"What are you doing, Princess Celestia? This is my hard work and successful business that you are ruining!" Sapphire Shores said.

"You're hard work and business is nothing but sinful and vile practices that hurts ponies relationships with God and with each other. Rarity worked for you for quite awhile and we believe that somepony had drugged her up. She is now pregnant because of the kinds of creeps that are attracted to this place. I am shutting your business down for good! You can either apologize for what you have done, or you can be banished to the Everfree forest."

Sapphire Shores couldn't believe that she would be shutting down her business that she worked so hard for. She was not a very humble pony and she was filled with so much pride that she could not admit that she had done any wrong. "I refuse to apologize, because what I'm doing is fine, and I had permission from the hire ups in the city to build this strip club, even if it does go against your decree. You can go buck yourself, Princess Celesta!" Sapphire Shores said as she shook her front hoof angrily in the air at her.

"Have it your way," Princess Celestia said as she channeled the magic through her horn and blasted Sapphire Shores to the Everfree forest. Princess Celestia turned back to the girls and said, "It seems like ruling over Equestria can be quite difficult, and ponies are finding ways to break my decrees. I'm going to have to do some personal investigating and find out who these hire ups in the city counsel are, allowing such terrible practices to be allowed. I will now make this building a church. What was once used for sin, will now be used for His glory." Princess Celestia noticed the abortion clinic right next door called Planned Ponyhood, and ordered her guards to evacuate the building as well. When the building had been cleared, Princess Celestia became angry as she thought of the horrific murders of the young and completely defenseless, innocent little foals that went on inside of that building on a daily basis. She casted a spell onto the building. Cracks began to form in the walls, and the building tumbled to the ground in a heap of dust. A great gust of wind blew by and took the dust away. Princess Celestia looked back at Twilight and said, "Will you help investigate the corruption that is going on, Twilight Sparkle?"

"Absolutely Princess!" Twilight said. "I'll even have my trusted side kick, Spike, the detective, help me out. Right, Spike? Uh, Spike?" Twilight looked around and found Spike over by a dumpster near an alley. He had found a Play Pony magazine with Rarity on the front cover that happened to be laying around near the dumpster. Twilight Sparkle teleported him back to the group of ponies and used her magic to engulf the magazine in flames.

Spike watched in horror as the burnt pieces from the magazine that he was holding in his claws, wafted away in the breeze. "But, I was just getting to the part where Rarity was about to..." Spike couldn't finish his sentence because Twilight had cut him off.

"No, Spike! Do not become of this world! The Bible says, for the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world."

"But, I was just..." Spike got cut off again.

"It doesn't matter, Spike. I can't let my precious baby dragon become corrupted by such vile things, even if you liked what you saw. It's the desire of the flesh that we need to keep ourselves safe from."

"Thank you, for your help, girls. I only wish I knew about what was going on sooner. Come on, and let me take you all back to Twilight Sparkle's library. I have to hurry and check on Princess Luna and make sure she is doing well," Princess Celestia said.

The ponies all trotted back into the chariot and headed back home.

Twilight Sparkle waved good bye from her doorstep as the Princess flew through the skies, back to her palace in Canterlot.

The ponies walked inside and began to ponder about what they would like for lunch. "Who wants pizza?" Twilight asked.

Each pony raised their front hoof in the air and said, "I do!"

Twilight Sparkle gave Spike a quill and a scroll to take down her order. "Spike take this down please. We'd like an order of three large organic whole wheat pizzas with extra cheese and organic grass," Twilight said.

"And a half pie with extra organic Gala Apples! They are my favorite!" Applejack said.

"And one half of a pie topped with organic Gala apples," Twilight said.

Spike jotted all of that down and used his magical dragon fire breath and sent it to the pizza shop near by.

Twilight Sparkle went over to her book shelf and clapped her front hooves together in delight that Spike had organized all of her Bible translations in proper order. "I got my new Bible book covers for the E.S.V. version, which just so happens to be my most favorite translation," Twilight said with a great big smile. Twilight took out seven E.S.V. Bibles and sat them down around in a circle. She brought out seven large pillows and placed one by each Bible. "Let's have a little study. I want to focus on lessons about love and redemption in the Bible today!"

The rest of the girls sat down and began reading scriptures that Twilight would pick out.

Within an hour, there was a knock at the door, and the girls got their pizzas. Applejack had to be rationed because nopony had such a voracious appetite like the farm pony. As they enjoyed their pizza's and read their Bibles, they heard another knock at the door.

"Who could that be?" Twilight asked. Spike walked over to the door and opened it.

None of the girls knew who she was except for Rarity.

"Candy Wrap!" Rarity cried out. "How did you know where to find me?" Do come in and have some pizza!"

Candy Wrap stepped inside and said, "I heard that Princess Cellestia found out about our strip club and shut it down. Now I don't have a job. I've been asking around town where I could find you. I went to your shop and your little sister, Sweetie Belle, told me that you were probably here. I didn't want to lose contact with you because you were a lot of fun at the club and we had some good parties." Candy Wrap perked up when she saw the cyan colored Pegasus pony and said, "What's your name, sweetie? You're really hot! Would you like to come back to my place and I can give you a little tongue therapy down south?"

"Uh, my name is Rainbow Dash, and I don't swing that way. I'm also dating a stallion named Soarin', and I love him very much," Rainbow said.

"Why don't you bring him along too and we can double the fun on him? I'm sure he'd enjoy that," Candy Wrap said.

"No," Rainbow Dash said. "He wouldn't be interested and we are both Christians, so there would be no way that option would even be considered.

"Whatever," Candy Wrap said. "It's your loss, not mine. Candy Wrap looked around and noticed each pony had a book open in front of them. "What is that you girls are reading here?"

"We're having a Bible study right now," Twilight said. "I can get you an extra Bible and a cushion for you if you'd like to sit down and read with us."

Candy Wrap began to laugh and said, "You girls seriously read the Bible? Wow! What a bunch of losers! I didn't know you were involved in a group where you sit around and circle clop over the Bible all day, Rarity. I thought you were way cooler than that. I'm a free thinker and I'm way too open minded to base my entire life off of a single book. I guess I'll find some other ponies to hang out with. Later losers." Candy Wrap turned and left Twilight's library. She slammed the door behind her.

"I don't understand how she could want to sleep with the same sex let alone with multiple partners. That's so unnatural and repulsive," Rainbow said. "Why would she choose to be that way?"

Twilight sighed and said, "Some may choose to be that way, or some may have had a traumatic experience in their youth where they were molested or raped and got very confused sexually. However, there is much scientific evidence that shows that some ponies are attracted to the same sex from birth."

"But how could God make a pony gay or lesbian when homosexuality is an abomination to Him? That one Bible verse comes to my mind, don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality," Rainbow said.

"God didn't make her that way, Rainbow," Twilight said. You see, when Adam and Eve sinned against God in the garden of Eden, sin corrupted everything, including our genetics. Our genetic make up is not perfect and that's why we have so many problems. Even the bushes that once had no thorns, grew thorns because of that very first sin. Sin affected everything in our world, including our genetics. Having homosexual desires doesn't grant you a one way ticket to Hell, Rainbow. However, practicing homosexuality is terribly dangerous and sinful, but there is always hope and repentance for all sins except for the sin of unbelief. Remember Rainbow, gay and lesbian sexual practices aren't the only sexual sins out there, and we shouldn't single out homosexuality over any other sexual sins. If something may feel so unnatural and repulsive to us, then we need to remind ourselves that we have done things that are unnatural and repulsive to God as well, yet He still cares for us, just like He cares for ponies like Candy Wrap. Let's not fall victim to judging somepony else just because they may sin differently than us."

"I just don't understand how she can be so harsh and hateful," Rarity said. "She needs to understand that God loves her just like He loves us. How could she not want to hear the Word of the Lord?"

Applejack began to turn some pages in her Bible and said, "Everpony please turn to my favorite parable in the Bible. Please turn to Matthew chapter thirteen. I love this story so much because it has to do with farmin' and it's so true!"

Rarity and the rest of the ponies turned the pages and began reading the story.

That same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. Then He told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they had withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop-a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear."

The disciples came to Him and asked, "Why do you speak to us in parables?"

He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of Heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables:

"Though seeing, They do not see;

Though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

In them, is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

"You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's hearts have become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and hear what you hear, but did not hear it.

"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the Word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the Word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the Word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the Word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

"Think about which situation refers to Candy Wrap. As you can see the Devil has control over her and it's best that we humble ourselves and pray for her even if she has said terrible things to us. Many ponies out there would react in similar ways also. She ain't the only one out there," Applejack said. "Ponies will either chose to follow the real God, or they will decide for themselves and make up their own rules about what is supposed to be right or wrong over what the true God has said. It's terrible. Can we all say a prayer for her?"

The rest of the girls agreed and they all said a special prayer for Candy Wrap, so that her eyes might be opened to the truth and that she may repent of her sins.
