The Diary Of Twilight Sparkle
Chapter 26: The Best Night Ever
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDear diary,
Today was the night of the Grand Galloping Gala, everypony was exited, even Spike with his cute little tuxedo on. I was studying a new spell at the time which was used to get us to the Gala. I took an apple and transformed it into a carriage, I took a few mice and transformed them into horses, unfortunately, the horses ran away because of Rarity's can scratching them. I hate that cat. Sometimes I think it needs to be put to sleep. It's an angry cat and has caused commotion between me and my friends, not as much as Spike though, maybe we should put him down instead. We didn't know what to do. Until, Rarity used her special charm to persuade a few ponies to pull our carriage instead.
Not long after, we washed and dried our manes and rushed off to the carriage, with Spike and the two ponies pulling, we would be there in no time at all. While we were in the carriage, we got dressed into our dresses that Rarity made us a few weeks back.
We finally arrived at the Gala. I couldn't believe we were there, it was going to be the best night ever. The one thing I wanted to do was spend my time with the Princess, to talk about what I learned at Ponyville ever since she sent me to live there. Talking about magic and friendship. What better thing could there be. Other ponies wanted to do there own thing, so we rushed of to our own areas to do so. I rushed off to find Princess Celestia, and what luck, she wanted to do the same thing as I did, talk! She wanted me by her side the whole time. Brilliant!
Everything was going as well as inspected, until the Gala got crowded and everypony wanted to meet Princess Celestia. I don't blame them, not everypony has the privilege of being her faithful student like me.
Later on, it seemed to get worse and worse. It was getting more crowded by the minute, to crowded if you ask me. It wasn't at all what I had hoped to do this night. But I had been waiting a long time for this once in a lifetime moment to happen and I wasn't going to let it get away from me. If it could be the best night ever on it's own, then I'd make it the best night ever myself. I decided that it shouldn't be just the Princess who interacts with ponies, I should do it to so I wasn't an outcast. I became someone noticeable with Princess Celestia for once. I don't know what it is, the ponies, or Princess Celestia. The ponies want to meet the Princess. Or does she just set this whole Gala up and invite ponies so she can make sure she's still loved. Princess Celestia can be a greedy bitch sometimes and it's not often I say that about one of my favourite ponies to see.
After all of the meetings with the ponies of Canterlot, me and Princess Celestia decided to go to the throne room, which was made into a party room for the Gala for one night. We entered and discovered that the whole place was destroyed. I thought nothing could get worse, but I was wrong. Fluttershy came in screaming because the animals wouldn't love her. Everypony ran. I didn't know why they ran or what they were afraid of, the animals or the mentally insane Fluttershy. Princess Celestia told us to run. Probably the best thing she'd said to me all night. Run from this nightmare.
Me and my friends ran to the donut shop where Spike was hanging out. He asked how the best night ever was. We explained what happened and Spike was right, it was the worst night ever. I just hoped that Princess Celestia wasn't mad at us for destroying the throne room. Speaking of the devil, she walked in happy for some reason. She said it was the best Galloping Gala ever! I didn't understand until she explained. She said the Gala was always awful. (Then why put it on if it was so bad.) And she wanted us to lighten it up a bit, which we did, a lot.
I learned that friends can make bad situations funny and chaotic, which is what we did tonight. It was the best night ever after all. Kind of a twist. Instead of it being Spike being a turd and messing things up, it was my friends foe once. I hope that doesn't stick. Although Ponyville can be boring sometimes. Sometimes I think we need somepony to create a bit of chaos to make the town not as boring and a bit entertaining.
