A horse is a horse, of course, of course


DELETED FINALE.


THIS IS NOT CANON. I considered it, but I thought it was too strange. Although I'm starting to rethink the canon ending... 


Mr Ed wasn't talking. Wasn't listening to Big Macintosh. And he didn't like it, at all.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Nothing.

Big Macintosh was weighing up his options to loosen Mr Ed's lips, when Applejack and the rest turned up.

"Big Macintosh! He stole an apple right off the tree!" Applejack called out.

"Well that tears it..."

Big Macintosh walked right up to Mr Ed, eyed him like a hawk, and promptly headbutted him on the forehead.

Instead of blood, there was nothing. He didn't move at all. Big Macintosh was even dazed by the hardness of Mr Ed's forehead. Instead of injuring him, his forehead cracked. It literally cracked.

"What in tarnation...?" Said Applejack. Various gasps and whispers emanated from the crowd.

Suddenly, even more cracks appeared, spreading down his face and neck. Pretty soon he was covered entirely in cracks. Then, he shattered. Like a priceless vase, he shattered into several horsey brown pieces.

Standing in his place, was none other than Princess Celestia!

Everypony was shocked, to say the least. There was a distinct sound of jaws hitting the dirt as Celestia shook her mane free from the last of Mr Ed's remains.

Twilight was the first to speak up.

"P-princess Ce-Celestia?"

"So, how did I do?" Celestia said wryly.

"What?"

"I said, how did I do, Luna?"

"Impressive. I must admit, I would have never thought of such an elaborate prank..." Said a ghostly voice, seemingly from nowhere.

Suddenly, Luna appeared in a puff of blue-black smoke. Some ponies shrieked when they saw the royal reunion in full swing.

"Celly, I never thought you had it in you."

"Maybe that will teach you not to underestimate me. Now do it."

"Not here. That was never part of the bet."

"Very well. But you aren't backing out of this. The look on your face will be priceless..."

"Wait, Princess Celestia? What is going on here?" Twilight interjected.

"I suppose some explaining is in order."

Celestia turned towards the sun for a moment, contemplating her recent deeds done.

"It all began a few weeks ago, during Nightmare Night."

Luna allowed herself a sly grin. She knew exactly where this was going.

(On that note, I have no idea where this is going. What do you guys think?)
