An instantly regretted bet with Luna leads to Celestia doing one of the most ill-advised things it's possible for anypony to ever do, ever.

Gotta wonder what would happen if Helia actually encountered her soon after...
7710167 My idea was that Helia would be one of Celestia's many, many names, which she keeps for Sunday best.
Seems legit.
This accurately describes call centers. Good on her banning the horrible TALKBOX
Iambic pentameter isn't the way Luna talks. Iambic pentameter is used to describe the way Shakespeare wrote his plays to always have a certain rhythm and have a certain number of syllables. The word you are looking for is archaic
Needs to be capitalized.
Should be function
Other than that, I absolutely loved it. Especially the ending. I literally burst into laughter when I finished reading it

My dear old chap, do you then think that I,
A man who reads that same playwright for fun,
Knows not the meaning of those certain words?
The simple fact of the matter is that I
Have always wanted Luna to so speak,
And being now an author simply must
Enforce that odd requirement on the princess.
7710377 Hubert loved to hear people shouting. This he considered not only healthful, but might, if taken to its illogical conclusion, just do away with the hated Telephones.
7710316 Can't argue with that. And would by no means try to.
Good luck destroying Dr. Hooves' one

This is where I'd call out that this is 11 syllables, but having learned the ways of Shakespeare myself I know all too well he sometimes didn't even follow his own rules. So in that sense I find this delightfully spot-on. The last line is 12 though and that's unacceptable.
7711195 The trick is to pronounce the 'quire' in requirement as one syllable, which happens when you're as posh as what I am anyway. Then the line just has what's called a 'feminine ending' - it goes up again at the end.

7711210 fair enough. I know when I've been bested. And for defeating me in verbal combat, I shall follow you, even unto the lord of bones.
7711232 Ding dong! Ta very much! I see you like stories that build upon Equestria's mythos. Fortunate indeed, that I have in the planning stages a little tale about the very first unicorns.
I thought it was just me and my southern drawl that makes everyone on the phone sound like this.
I feel better now.
7711315 I'm pretty well-spoken (modesty), and I'm dashed if I can understand a single word the 'phone-people are saying.
7711271 I look forward to it
I've read that Bell wouldn't keep a phone in his house. I also remember a poem (by Ogden Nash?) that started
Once there was an elephant
That tried to use the telephant
No, I mean an elephone
That tried to use a telephone....
7713098 That definitely sounds like Agden Nosh to me.
This is one of the funniest things I've read in a while. I love the mental image of te princesses being frustrated with mundane things
You wrote Luna and celestial interactions exactly as I see hem going in my head haha
7726659 Thank'ee kindly! Your use of 'mundane' is appropriate - it's linked to the French 'monde' and means literally 'of the world', that is to say, the Earth. Hardly surprising, then, for ponies who concern themselves with the Sun and Moon to be a little confused by such things!
i've always wondered about that too...
7713098 It's actually written by someone else. Laura Elizabeth Richards, to be specific.
It's one of the few poems I cared enough to memorize.
7812666 I know all sorts of poems!
i do hope the professor grew some stones to say no to the princess
This was a good story...some parts of it made me sad though.
7983210 Might I ask which parts?
7983777
Celestia's poor customer service experience and telling Crater Mash to destroy all of the phones...I know these elements are essential for the story to exist! But I still can't help but feel sorry for Celestia and Crater Mash.
7984474 At least it's somepony else suffering! I think it was Mel Brooks who said, when asked what was the difference between tragedy and comedy, "Tragedy is: I stub my toe. Comedy is: you fall down a manhole and die."
It could've been worse.....It could've been a telegraph!!!!!
