Chapter 5
Time to Change Strategies
World Destroyed: 4 Times





Princess Celestia closed her eyes and slowly shook her head. She was preparing to send her sister back to Twilight's bedroom when Luna placed a hoof on her shoulder to stop her.

"Hm?" Celestia asked. She looked at Luna and raised an eyebrow at the look of mischief on her sister's face.

"Let's send the pink one this time," Luna suggested.

Celestia stared at her sister open-mouthed. Of course: send in the pink one when the one pony who was probably the world's only hope had just failed four times in a row. Surely that would solve the problem. It's not like literally everything depended on the choices they were making at this very moment.

Her thoughts must have shown on her face, because Luna resorted to trying to reason with her.

"Come now," Luna said. "What is the worst that could possibly happen? Oh, that's right, dear sister, the world could be destroyed." Celestia frowned at her, but she kept at it. "It has already happened four times. What harm could a fifth time do us? We'll just watch her fail spectacularly and then reset time like we've been doing."

Celestia let a long sigh out through her nose and looked down at the world below. She had a feeling they were in for a long night as it was. She stood still for a moment longer just to allow for more tension, then turned back to Luna.

"Fine," she said, smiling.
