Chapter 90: Chapter 153: A Royal Problem
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHello everypony, this is your sexy Sun Goddess. All of you have been very good, you've paid your taxes, there haven't been any negative editorials about me and to top things off, the ponies in Manehattan held a special celebration honoring me even though they didn't have to! Because of this, I have a very special surprise for you. I have decided to give you my synopsis of StormLuna's new favorite episode. "A Royal Problem."
Another day has arrived in Ponyville and I can't see what is going on in Twilight's castle so I do the typical invisibility and teleport spell to check on things. What is this, the map is calling Starlight Glimmer to Canterlot? I didn't think this was possible, I thought a pony had to have a throne for her ass to light up and have a replica of her mark fly over some place on it. I can tell Twilight is upset that Starlight will be doing this one solo. Obviously whatever is going on requires that Starlight have complete and absolute focus. I can't help but wonder, what if it is the exam Trixie has been asking me to give Starlight? You all know, that exam that can only be given in my sleeping chambers? Well I better get home because Starlight will be heading up to Canterlot soon.
Luckily I was able to get back up here before Starlight arrived and I must say, I never expected to see her alone before me before nor did I expect her to bow to me. I always thought that if we were in this situation she'd brag about how she had yellow cake for lunch and had two of my other lovelies locked up out in that town. Ok, enough about that, my sister has arrived and she seems to be in a less than stellar mood. Perhaps she just had a bad night or Applejack didn't have her morning fritters ready for her.
I don't know what kind of freaky magic Twilight is using but she is doing it to take the form of one of those annoying music things to check on Starlight. I thought Twilight knew that she is not to meddle in these map missions. I'm pretty sure that if Starlight meddled she would be all pissy and do Faust knows what. Well Starlight is talking with Twilight and oh boy, Twilight might have an epic freak out because Luna and I aren't exactly getting along. I hope she does because she is always so much more fun when she does that.
I swear, Starlight must be very perceptive. My sister and I said there was nothing wrong but unfortunately, she can tell there is. With any luck she won't ask what it is about or try to go into any detail. I have plans down in Ponyville later today and I really can't be late or a certain sexy pegasus will be devastated.
One thing very few ponies know about me is that I like to fix breakfast not just for my sister and I, but any guests I have so I fixed Starlight some pancakes. I will say I am shocked. For a pony with as checkered of a past as she has, she certainly was grateful and thanked me. What a shame my sister isn't like that. Well she's been kind of a bitch like this every morning here lately so what can I really do. Maybe if I have fritters imported from Sweet Apple Acres that will put her in a better mood.
Now this is really starting to bother me, Starlight went back to her room to seek counsel from music box Twilight. Hmmm.....I just thought of something, my Twily looks rather sexy in that outfit so maybe I should make her wear it next time she comes to see me but she will lose that ugly bun! Ok, back to the show. So Twilight wants to know what she is going to do. I'm not sure what it is but knowing Starlight, it will likely be something nopony else would have the guts to do.
Now it looks like Starlight is talking with my sister while she hangs lavender in the castle hallways. Oh my goodness, what a hard job! I wish I had it that easy but oh no, I'm stuck dealing with moronic delegates, cutting ribbons, opening stores and fundraisers for bratty little foals when I would rather be eating yellow cake with lavender icing and white sprinkles.
Well it looks like Starlight has figured us out and is telling her oh so sexy music box that she thinks we are hurting the other's feelings and not knowing it. No that is not the case. Luna is just being a bitch and doesn't know how stressful my job really is. Hell this is starting to remind me of the time she brought that possum into the castle and irritated my FORMER scheduling advisor for a day. I say former because I had to banish him to the moon for flirting with Twilight once.
Ok, enough about that bastard, back to the show. Well Starlight continues her talk with Twilight and she's going to do what? She is going to confront us over this? I don't think so Starlight, you may have more guts than Twilight and her friends combined but remember, I still OWN you. If you try that, I'm warming up the Twicane. Nopony confronts me and gets away with it! Remember what happened to Nightmare Moon Starlie?
Another night came and went and as badly as I wanted to drag Starlight up to my sleeping chambers and have some fun, I resisted. Given that she was up here on official business, I figured that if I did that it may screw up whatever nonsense she has come up here for. Of course in the morning I fixed her and my bitchy, ungrateful sister pancakes again. Naturally Starlight flattered me and told me how great I am while my sister just gave me an unappreciative grumble. I don't know what I'm going to do, this is getting old, very old.
Well this is something different, Starlight is bringing up why she was sent up here to both of us. Oh boy, she just had the audacity to confront both of us! So we are the ones having the friendship problem? I call bullshit on that, we are sisters and sisters have fights, just ask Pinkie and her grumpy sister Limestone. After all, Limestone told Pinkie she was an annoying bitch at Maud's graduation when the animators weren't looking.
Ok, I'm going to be honest. I NEVER imagined that anypony other than Luna would confront me over anything and I can only imagine what is running through her mind. I have a feeling she is wanting to banish a meddlesome unicorn to the sun right now but we shall see. Hey Twilight's map sent her up here so forget punishing Starlight, Twilight will face my wrath instead and a creation of Discord shall join me!
Oh joy, now Luna is claiming she has it so hard. She thinks all I do is smile and be adored by everypony. Actually that is Twilight's job, to smile, wave and be adored. Look Luna, I have real jobs while all you do is visit ponies in their dreams, scare off manticores and don't think I don't know about you prowling around Sweet Apple Acres hunting for fritters.
Oh great, it is that comic book all over again, minus Tiberius and Kibitz. Here she thinks she can do my job, again. If I didn't think she'd fuck everything up royally I'd let her do it. What the fuck has just happened, I have Luna's cutie mark and she has mine? What kind of dark magic is behind this. Oh joy, Starlight has a guilty grin on her face. I knew she had strange powers but not only can she steal cutie marks but she can swap them too? Especially the marks of the two most powerful ponies in existence? You know, I'm thinking maybe I better not try to punish her. I think negotiating with her will work much better.
Now for something just dandy, this freaky spell of hers lasts for 24 hours and she did it so we will have to do the other's duties? Fair enough, Luna can put up with the shit I have to put up with and I can sleep all day and then go visit ponies in their dreams and whatever else it is Luna does during the night. This is going to be a piece of cake! Speaking of cake, I think I'll pay Fluttershy a visit tonight and have some yellow cake and I may as well grab Rarity so I'll have some frosting.
****************************************************************************************************************
Hi, Starlight Glimmer here. Since Celestia has decided to go back to bed, despite sleeping all night long, I have been given the job to bring the events of my day with Luna to you. Luna would give you the synopsis but she is in way too bad of a mood to do it so I hope I don't disappoint you.
Before I start my day with Luna I decide to tell Twilight I switched their cutie marks. I thought she would be impressed that I can do things she could never dream of but she was upset that I swapped their marks! I don't mean to brag but you know something, my magic truly is superior to hers, there is no way she could steal cutie marks or swap them! If it weren't for the Elements, she wouldn't be anything to write home about. Ok, enough bragging about how superior my magic is, the time to help Luna through her day has arrived.
The first thing I do is go over Celestia's list with her and I must say, Celestia is right when she brings up that old comic. What a shame Tiberius wasn't here, I'm sure I could have fun playing with him while Luna took care of everything on this list. Get this, she thinks this list will be easy. Personally I think I'd rather put in a hard day's work at the rock farm than deal with everything on there but we'll see how easy it is for her!
Well the day wound up not going so easy for her and thanks to the fact that her cheeks hurt from smiling so much, the foals at the local school failed to raise enough money to go on a field trip. To make matters worse, Luna did terrible with her afternoon schedule because she was obsessed over failing at that school event. Ok, I'll admit that town hall with those mayors was boring as hell and if I had any glass jars with me, I would have stole their cutie marks just to shut them up but oh well, I can't go back. Well technically I could but we all know that time travel isn't the answer for everything.
Finally Luna made it through the day and so did I. Simply accompanying Luna through Celestia's schedule was exhausting so I have no room to criticize her less than stellar performance today. Now she has decided to turn in for the night and thank goodness Celestia is back. Her schedule is exhausting and now I can get some sleep too!
****************************************************************************************************************
Well I'm back and unfortunately, because she is so tired I don't get the luxury Luna had. This really pisses me off that she had Starlight there to keep her company and I have to do this all alone. Wait a minute, why am I complaining? Not having anypony around will make this a whole lot easier!
Alright, let's get started. You know, I forgot how easy raising the moon is! Perhaps this whole swapped cutie mark thing won't be so bad after all. Luna can deal with all the assholes I have to put up with, she can handle the heavier celestial object and I can simply put up with the most important pony of them all, ME!
Ok, I'll admit, talking to myself is weird but it still beats dealing with delegates that think I owe them the world. Alright, its time to deal with ponies' dreams. Ok, Colgate is torturing some idiot with a cavity, Daring Do is getting chased by Ahuizotl's pets, Flurry Heart is overthrowing her parents, Fluttershy is dreaming about screwing Rarity....hmmm, I should join that one, it looks fun! Oh wait, I have to do this Luna's way and Luna doesn't jump into dreams and make her fantasies come true. Wait, Starlight is having an odd dream. Hee, hee, my pancakes are talking to her and now she's falling into lavender. Too bad it wasn't lavender icing and I would join her.
Oh boy, Starlight needs me so I guess I get to see what doing this is like for Luna. Well I get there and Starlight finally admits that she screwed up. Damn straight she did and yes Starlie, you have driven us even further apart. She thinks my job is so damn easy and WHAT? Shit, Nightmare Moon is back.
This is just dandy, not only is she back but this is Starlight's nightmare and I don't have much power in the dream world so I can only hope for the best. Here I thought having her back was bad enough but now MY evil counterpart has arrived, Daybreaker. Yes I am saying that I will never turn into her but deep down I'll admit, sometimes I do wish I could transform into a more powerful, even bitchier version of me. I do know one thing, Daybreaker would probably kill Twilight instead of make love to her. Hell she might kill me and you know what they say about dying in your dream, you really....wait, this is Starlight's dream, not mine so I'm good.
Now Starlight is saying that she shouldn't have gone on this mission but I have more pressing matters, dealing with TWO evil ponies that STARLIGHT conjured up! Suddenly I realize something, I need Luna if I'm going to succeed here and apparently she's having her own horrid dream involving a bunch of sad fillies. I don't know if Luna can do this or not but I'll do my best. I quickly leapt into her dream and pulled her into Starlight's. Wow, this is sweet! I didn't know I'd have these kind of powers. Ok, now to get her to help me defeat two evil ponies who want to kill us.
What? Since she's Sunbutt now she has no power in the realm of sleep? She can't even help me with this now? Shit, I suppose this is all up to me......wait a minute, something ain't right. We have left the dream-scape and are now in the throne room. I hope this suddenly isn't real because if it is, Equestria is doomed.
I can't believe this, Luna and I finally get one another. Her job is hard, harder than hell. I don't know how she fights these perils in the dark, here I am terrified of Daybreaker and Luna has to face things like this all the time? How does she do it?
Finally I mustered up the magic of Luna's within me and I was able to defeat Daybreaker and chase Nightmare Moon off. Now things have returned to normal and Starlight, despite you thinking you screwed up by going with your gut, you did exactly what needed to be done. Nopony else would have had the balls to confront BOTH OF US like that and it was by you doing this that we saw the error of our ways.
Finally, Starlight wakes up but somehow we are where we were when I defeated Daybreaker. I don't know if her dream escaped into the waking world or what, but I'm thinking Luna needs to keep a close eye on Starlight's dreams. I don't think Equestria could handle her nightmares coming to life but for the moment, I am so thankful she pulled what she did as my sister and I are close again and we know how hard the other's job is.
Now for what is scary, the part that took place in the throne room WAS REAL. I can't help but wonder if Luna could have been able to keep Starlight's nightmare confined to the dreamscape. One thing I do know is that her job is difficult and the other thing I know, NEVER EAT HER PANCAKES! They are terrible!
Now the two of us admitted to Starlight that the map was right in sending her because nopony would have been so bold. Nopony else would have even confronted us the way she did much less swap our cutie marks. Of course nopony else would even have that ability but you know what I mean, right.
Finally, 24 hours have passed and our cutie marks are returned to normal and Starlight's cutie mark glows and you know what that means? It means she has accomplished her mission and I am extremely impressed. Nopony else has ever had to do one of these missions alone, nopony has had to fix a friendship problem involving the two most powerful ponies in existence and nopony has been as bold as her. *sighs* While I hate to do this, despite her being very hot, I have decided that a pony who will take as extreme risks as her should not be the property of anypony. I have decided to release her from my harem. I know Trixie will be happy because now those two can have their intimate moments to themselves.
Now for something that displeases me, oh wait, I'm starting to sound like Luna. Let's just say that Twilight suddenly shows up and I can't help but wonder, was she spying? Well she couldn't have been during the dreamscape sequence because she wasn't in the nightmare. I personally hope Starlight emphasizes how she swapped our marks and got us to see that we do need one another. Twilight may be an Alicorn princess but I do think Starlight has the stronger magic, and the stronger personality.
In closing, don't worry I dipped into the treasury to make that field trip happen, I dispelled the fears over the timberwolves and Twilight was very impressed by what Starlight did. Oh, and I had an empty schedule so I had some fun with Twilight and even better, Starlight got it all on video. Sorry you serfs, it won't be for sale nor will it be mass produced. It will solely be for my enjoyment, well I might let Starlight and Trixie borrow it from time to time as well if they wish.
