Celestia returns to the Castle and talks to a guardsmare after spending some meaningful bonding time with her sister. But, as the guardspony soon learns, the word “bonding” has an entirely different meaning when dealing with Alicorns…

Critique appreciated.

EDIT 2022: Someone did a reading. I got nervous about the best way to word a blog post and/or put it in the long description. Doing so now.

Her exile has left Princess Luna with certain urges. She asks her big sister for advice, but Celestia is deep in a crossword puzzle.

Celestia makes sure to surround herself with the most competent staff
in all of Equestria, but when they go too far in her service, she takes
things into her own hooves.

Yes, by now the joke has been done to death... But I was one of the first to make the joke, and here it is in textual form! Twilight Sparkle reads the 'Twilight' series!

Princess Celestia has forgotten something. Something important.

But what the hell is it?

Comments contain spoilers.

Luna has always known the tale of Hearth's Warming Eve, considering she was alive when the events transpired, but can she become accustomed to the modern day traditions that now revolve around the holiday?

A relatively normal day is disrupted when Luna learns that Orcus, the Demon Prince of Undeath, has escaped from Tartarus and is making his bid for conquest, starting with Ponyville. More horrifying though... is that fact that only she seems to care. Time is of the essence, and no one, Celestia included, seems worried about the impending disaster. Will Luna be able to rally the army, shake the citizens of Canterlot from their strange apathy, and save the day?

No. No she will not.

Everypony in this town is crazy.

One year after her return to Equestria, Princess Luna prepares to take her place in the world.

Celestia had always wondered if there had been another way to deal with Nightmare Moon besides banishment. When Twilight freed Luna from her curse, Celestia had her answer. Since then, she has had researchers working on her apology to Luna: a way to make sure that such an event can never happen again.

A few days ago, they completed their research. Today, she unveils her plan to blow up the moon.

Inspired by a Mr Show skit.

Pillows is a janitor working at the castle in Canterlot. Basically, his life sucks. The only thing he can look forward to is his Saturday lessons with "Silent Chuck". Both princesses are mean to him, his apartment is the worst, and the pony he loves is an exact opposite of him. He can only hope for the best after each grueling day of his life.
