Equestrian Politics
Chapter 28: Duet
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"LUNA! Get your ass out here now! They've been waiting LONG ENOUGH for at least something and that's exactly what we're gonna do!" Celestia yelled out to Luna in the darkness, the former only being revealed by a small center light in the otherwise black room. She was wearing a casual white dress with her tiara… a standard look for her.
"Yes, I said we'd agree to something different aside from the mail… but I don't want to do this!" Luna called back from nowhere.
"Damn, even after all that rehab you still have some splinters left over from that stick in your ass, huh?" Celestia replied mockingly.
"Shut up! Just because I'm more comfortable doesn't mean I constantly enjoy putting myself out there, thank you very much!" Luna replied, still defiant.
"Luna! They're waiting! And this is non-negotiable… so you're getting out here you skinny, whore, small titted, blue-haired shitgiggle…"
"ALRIGHT I'm here, are you quite finished?" Luna asked in an annoyed manner, another center light catching her entrance and lighting her up.
"No, actually… you're also… ummm…" Celestia thought for a moment. "What's that word we learned from Trottingham?"
"Minge."
"Right! You're a fucking minge," Celestia finished with a smug smile. Luna rolled her eyes.
"Right… let's just get this over with," Luna stated plainly. The two sisters then looked forward and summoned a microphone each with their hand. At a cue, some softer music began to play.
"This is dedicated to Luna's and my relationship as sisters!" Celestia added with excitement and began swaying. Luna rolled her eyes once before it all began:
**(A/N: Bold=Celestia, Normal=Luna )**
"Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall."
"Like the seashore clings to the sea."
The two began to slowly walk side by side.
"Like you'll never get rid of your shadow-w…
Luna, you'll never get rid of me!"
Luna smiled a bit and loosened up a tad.
"Let all the others fight and fuss."
Both: "Whatever happens… we've got us!"
Celestia started to walk towards the back while Luna took the lead.
"Me…"
"We're closer than pages that stick in a brook."
"… and my shadow…"
"We're closer than ripples that play in a brook."
"… strolling down the avenue…"
"Wherever you find her you'll find me just look…"
"Closer than Tia's ass is to reaching planetary mass…"
Luna waggled her eyebrows jokingly and retreated to the back while Celestia took the front.
"Me…"
"We're closer than smog when it clings to L.P."
"… and my… shadow…"
"We're closer than Luna is to Seafire's meat."
They both stood side by side again.
Both: "Not a soul can bust this team in two…
We stick together like glue!"
They planted their backs against each other in the exact same pose for effect.
"And when it's sleeping time…"
"That's when we ri-ise…"
"We start to swing!"
"Swing to the ski-ies…"
"Our clocks don't chime…"
"What a surprise…"
Both: "They ring…"
They both smiled at each other.
"… a-ding-ding Happy New Year!"
Luna took the backup again.
"Me…"
"And now to repeat what I said at the start…"
"And my shadow…"
"They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart."
Both: "We're in this to-ge-ther, so…"
The two linked arms and performed symmetric movements.
Both: "Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar!"
"We'll make all the late-spots, and then a few more!"
"But wind up at Ponyville, right after Canterlot…
… life is gonna be whee-wow-whee!"
"It's gonna be a party!"
Both: "For my…!"
"Shadow, and me-e-e…!"
The music stopped and Luna visibly relaxed, still somewhat smiling.
"Say Luna…?" Celestia began to ask.
"What is it, Tia?"
"Could you do me a favor?"
"The hell do you want now?"
"Would you mind taking it… one more time?"
"From the top?!"
"No! From the ending!" Celestia replied with a sly look. Luna returned it.
"Wonderful!"
The music started up once more.
Both: "And while we are swingin' to mention a few,"
"We'll drop in at Cloudsdale, Trottingham too,"
"But wind up at Ponyville, whatever we do,"
"Life is gonna be whee-wow-whee!"
"Wow!"
Both: "For myy…"
"… shadow, and me!"
The music took its final turn and it ended. The two smiled at each other and gave a light curtsy.
"Luna…?" Celestia asked, prepared to ask her another favor.
"Oh, fuck yourself, Tia," Luna replied jokingly, walking away from view flipping her the bird.
"Alright," Celestia acknowledged with a chuckle before she too, walked off and the lights turned off.
A/N: That was Frank Sinatra's (featuring Sammy Davis Jr.) Me and My Shadow. Some lyrics were changed to fit the situation.
Thanks for bearing with me all this damn time! School has been an asshole, but I'm getting some more free time very soon. See you all in about twelve hours :D
