Princess Celestia is due to arrive in Ponyville in a few hours. Nothing is ready. The town is being invaded by a swarm of parasprites. Pinkie Pie has gone completely loco-in-the-coco and is rushing around Ponyville collecting random musical instruments.

However Berry Punch and Golden Harvest have another problem to worry about. They have to redo their banner.

I love the banner jokes. I also love the idea that Twilight is earning reward points at Quills and Sofas.

If I wasn't on my phone, I'd add some links.

“Quick! I need a harmonica, a trombone, a banjo, an accordion, and some maracas. And a copy of 'Teach yourself to play the harmonica, trombone, banjo, accordion, and maracas in twenty-four hours'.”

This is one of the greatest Pinkie Pie lines ever. :rainbowlaugh:

Isn't it true? All of the typos only become visible after the document is published...

That was wonderful.

It is amazing how those things always show up after you turn it in...

I giggled.

Oh man, I was just thinking about this story the other day! So glad to see it here.

Another option, which has the added bonus of venting frustration by ripping things, is to tear off the "Celest" so that the banner just says "Welcome Princess." That way if Luna or Cadence makes a surprise visit, or a pony in Ponyville randomly turns into an alicorn, they'll be right there with the perfect welcoming sign.

In any case, glad to see this up on Fimfiction, even if it did take me a week to read it. Couldn't fit it into my schedule. :twilightsheepish: Quite amusing, especially Pinkie.

Monospace font? On FiMFic? How is this achieved?

This was an amusing little story, but nothing special, I thought.
Then I reached the end, and laughed so damn hard. :rainbowlaugh:

:twilightsmile: = grammar nazi.

Twilight isn't very nice but that is not surprising since this is season one Twilight and stories like this show us how much she has improved. It's also nice to read a story form the perspective of a few background ponies.

This was a lot of fun. :pinkiehappy: Nice characterisation of early-vintage Twilight, too.

Next thing Twilight knew was waking up with a hoof imprint on her face.

Nice story.

according to the mlp wikis season 1 allusions page, its a reference to a banner saying "heroine kills" from a musical called "the commitments
