Letters from an Irritated Princess

Bonus: Burnt Notice

From the desk of Princess Celestia.

Dear Spike,

Please tell Twilight to stay away from the dragon migration grounds. You don't know what happened the last time she visited sacred dragon grounds, and it's better you don't know until you're older. Just kindly pass along this warning to her, and if she still doesn't heed it, I'll give her a VERY personal lecture on how not to act around adult dragons.

Also, if Fluttershy is present, pass along the reminder that she's the town dragon watch, so I expect her to do her best today in regards to keeping Ponyville safe. If Granny's barn burns down again, I'll get an essay from her griping about dragonfire for half a day, so please please please make sure she does her job. I have enough on my plate today as is making sure Luna doesn't shout at the dragons.

She is a big fan of dragons. Too big, actually. Her "HELLO" greetings are so booming they screw up the dragon's flight path and send them crashing to the ground, and wouldn't you know that that causes problems for them? Big, diplomatic problems resulting from an interrupted migration thanks to my sister's big mouth?

When that happened, the dragons crashed into the ground deep enough to dig a ravine so wide we had to build bridges over it to reestablish a trade path in the south. Dubbed by our people as the Dragon's Trench, the dragons received a grim reminder of what happened that day.

I'm praying she doesn't remember today is the day of the migration, and I've been distracting her with just about anything I can think of this afternoon. Doing each other's make-up, playing games, the like. So long as she doesn't know, everything will be fi--

GAH! Luna, how long were you there?

No, of course today isn't the day of the migration! You just heard things wrong!

Luna, don't go out that balcony. Don't you do it! There's nothing to see--

Ponyfeathers!

Oh my goodness. Dragons cause so much unintentional destruction. Silly Luna and her big mouth. Thanks for the great read!

[Dapper Guy]

Release your Thu'um Luna.

Thump. Thump. Thumpthumpthumpthumpthump.

... thump.

(Please note: "thump" is the sound the dragons make over a distance roughly equal to that between Ponyville and Canterlot. It would be immensely louder the closer to the impact zone you are.)

[user123]

Damn, her fus ro dah is strong.

[Anquietas]

Luna is Dovahkiin!

[117dragon]

Sounds like Luna knows Dragonrend.

[BlueYoshi]

Uh-oh. This may not end well.

[cosmofur]

So THAT what was in the letter that the dragons threw into the lava.

Somehow I think it good that Twilight didn't get to read it.

[MythrilMoth]

Could be worse.

Luna could've found out you can get any wish granted if you collect seven dragon balls...

[Voldine]

5741372 Bad moth. BAD. No encouraging the harvest of molten mountain oysters for something as trivial as wishing. How will the rainbow factory get enough fresh dragon testicles to grind for raw materials if you go around wasting seven at a time on wishes?

It's bad enough that Celestia gets a tithe of four a year to give her coat that perfect slight pink tint.

"Sister! Look at what I'm holding!"

"...Is that a dragon's--"

"Yes! And it's a my Magic Eight Ball! Watch! Ahem... Will my sister find true love?"

*violent shaking, sloshing sounds*

"Huuurk--I need a bathroom."

"It said, 'Ask again later!'"

Celestia take the wheel, lawdy lawd.

I sense an AoT reference....

As Spike gave the question a good think, he saw Twilight prepare to activate the dozen or so wards that the room had been surrounded in, most of which were apparently of her own design from what she told him. Although, the Pinkie Pie ward she came up with a few days ago seemed a bit much.

“Still don’t see why you made a whole new spell to keep out one pony,” he mumbled, voicing his doubts.

The shrug Twilight gave made the dragon hold onto the pony tighter, which seemed to put a smile on her face. “Well I’m not even sure that would do it. It’s why I made her give a Pinkie Promise.”

Dang it Luna!

[Halfmoon]

Luna is shouting at dragons making them crash to the ground.
Sounds like dragonrend to me.

[Cobalt Shock]

Luna is Dragonborn.
I believe in Dragonspeech, "Fus roh dah" is the traditional Dragonborn greeting.

[Emperor]

Luna continues to be Best Princess, it seems.

[Garrus01]

5741467 What about a plasma TV?

[irish_moon]

the dragons received a grim reminder of what happened that day.

Wait. Did you do a thing? Or should I stop reading and go to sleep?

[Lancerlot]

May the Diamond Dogs never attempt to enslave Princess Luna. She knows how Rarity got away, and can whine using Royal Canterlot Voice.
"They look like chunky salsa now, don't they?"
