One day, you will all come to my funeral just to make sure that I stay dead, but today is not that day | https://ko-fi.com/chillybook

It's not often that Celestia gets to spend any time with her sister, what with most of the younger sister's time devoted to some mysterious quest known as League. When they do get some time together, it's normally over a Friday evening meal. It's one of the highlights of Celestia's week.

Due to Luna's table manners, it is also a major low point.

That was entertaining.

It'd be easier to read if you space your paragraphs. Otherwise it was a thoroughly amusing read.

Also, I write the Trottingham way. I am glad to know it still bugs some people.

6325369 Can you reiterate what you mean by that? You're not the first person to tell me to space my paragraphs, buy I don't really know what they mean. Space them how?

Right, compare the following:

“Hello, Luna. How are you?” asked Celestia with a smile.
“We are doing well enough, dear sister,” said Luna. “The League has been more strenuous on Our hooves than usual, and We are grateful to enjoy a meal with Our beloved sister.” Celestia smiled brightly at her sister, who, for as long as she could remember, was apparently allergic. As soon as Celestia showed off those pearly whites of her’s, Luna grimaced in slight discomfort.
“Do you have a schedule planned for tomorrow?” asked Celestia.
“Aye. We have the early hours of the day to Ourselves, and We shall play more League,” said Luna. “Then, We will honour Our inadvertent agreement and join you in aiding Princess Sparkle organize her flashcards.” Celestia couldn’t help but snicker.
“She needs two gods to help her organize flashcards?” asked Celestia. “Even though she’s a half-god herself?”
“It would appear that Princess Sparkle has a large quantity of cards,” said Luna matter-of-factly. “Ms. Pinkamena Pie described it as a ‘metric butt-ton’, though We are skeptical of how accurate of a measurement that is.”
“You are aware that you just said the word ‘butt’, aren’t you?”
“Ms. Pinkamena was very insistent that We use that exact phrase, should it ever come up,” said Luna. “But, enough of Us. What of your schedule, sister?”

If you were to space the paragraphs, it'd read like this:

6325443 Ah, I get it. Whatever makes it easiest to enjoy my work.

I will remedy the issue as soon as possible.

Obviously Twilight is that boring.

“Stop spelling honor with a ‘u’! That’s not how we spell it here!” shouted Celestia nonsensically. “We live in Equestria. If you want to use extra ‘u’s, then go to Trottingham!”

YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!!
It's pronounced cuhll-er not cuh-lure! On-er not On-ewr! Arm-er not (etc etc I could keep going). Yes, not everything is pronounced the way it's spelled, but those damn u's are just UNNECESSARY. And for crying out loud, biscuits are the fluffy things you put jelly on. Cookies are what you dip in milk. I'll concede that fries might constitute a "chipped" potato, but you will never get me to call a bag of Lays crisps. "Water closet" is a childish euphemism and you need to grow up! I could keep ranting but Pandora called and said she shut the box. :twilightangry2:

7072203 I'm a bit of an anglophile, so I tend to side with the Brits on most everything. Especially the whole "chips" thing. Sorry I unlocked this box of... whatever you might call that :twilightblush:

7072523 If that were a band, I'd be preordering their album right now

This deserves to be featured.

7147421 I dunno about all that. This story is pretty stupid.

7147422 There's nothing wrong with stupidity, it's just another aspect of comedy like tragedy and pain. :derpytongue2: Besides if stupidity were really so bad Discord, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash wouldn't have as many fans as they do and Weird Al would be out of work. :pinkiehappy: :ajsmug:
