"Well shucks, after all that screamin', you must be feelin' a little hoarse!"
Rarity smacked Applejack. "Never let me catch you saying that ever again," she threatened. "Just because almost everything in the world is a pun doesn't mean you have to stoop so low."
"Yes, m'am..."
"Twilight, what happened to you?" Celestia asked, wide-eyed.The look on Twilight's face mirrored the one on her princess's.
"What happened to me? What happened to you?"
Celestia frowned. "Your spell did this, but that's easy to understand. What happened to your horn?"
Twilight gulped. She was hoping to avoid having this conversation. Casting a spell that made your own horn disappear? It was incredibly embarrassing. "Well, I, er..." she sighed. "It disappeared when I cast the spell..."
"Hey, I think we have more important things to talk about right now!" said Rainbow Dash. "Like how we're going to turn everypony back to normal! I don't know about all of you, but for me, this is so not cool!"
Celestia nodded. "Right, right..." she said. "So far, Luna seems like our best bet at fixing everything." Everypony turned to look at Luna.
"Well, um, I do not know if I can perform the spell to turn everypony back..." she stated, a nervous sweat appearing on her forehead.
"Well, I'm sure you can learn it, Luna." Celestia encouraged. "You're fairly good at magic. You'll pick it up in no time."
Luna was about to open her mouth to respond, but stopped herself. This was the perfect opportunity to spend more time with her sister! A smile appeared on her face as she hatched her diabolical plan.
"There is one condition."
Everypony in the room looked at Luna in shock. "Luna, you're one of the Princesses of Equestria! There can be no conditions, this is your duty!" Celestia exclaimed.
"I said, there is one condition."
Celestia turned and addressed Twilight and her friends. "Can you please leave me with my sister? I would like to speak with her in private." she said.
Twilight nodded and left the room, her friends following. "Luna, this is your duty! You can't put a condition on it!" she shouted as soon as the doors were closed. "Do you have any idea how important this is? We can't even lower the sun until we fix everything!"
Luna rolled her eyes. "There's no need to worry so much, Celestia. Nopony has even noticed that the sun hasn't moved, and it's already been a day!"
She walked up to her sister. Celestia glared. "What is this condition of yours, sister?" she asked. Luna opened her mouth to reply, but Celestia interrupted. "If you say anything pertaining to eternal night, I swear to me I'll banish you again."
"I was going to say that I want you to spend more time with me," said Luna.
"I spend plenty of time with you!" said Celestia.
"No, you don't!" said Luna, "Whenever I ask to spend time with you you always say you're too busy, that running a kingdom is hard work!"
"It is hard work! I don't have time to waste!"
"Oh, so spending time with your sister is a waste?"
"I never said that!"
So the two immortal goddesses continued to fight like little schoolfillies.

Rarity wandered throughout the halls of Canterlot castle. They weren't needed to solve the problem at hoof, so she and her friends had decided to visit the sights in Canterlot. Pinkie and Rainbow went to visit Donut Joe's, Fluttershy went to see all the animals in the garden, and Applejack went out searching for the nearest farm. Rarity wondered how long it would take, seeing as there were no farms in Canterlot.
Rarity stopped to eye a tapestry hanging on the wall. It depicted a white unicorn slaying a massive dragon with nothing but his bare hooves.
"I see you've noticed the tapestry of my great grandfather" a voice behind her said.
Rarity turned to discover the identity of the voice. A white-coated Alicorn with a flowing blonde mane was standing behind her, a smug look on his face. The look on his face shouted "I'm better than you and I know it."
Blueblood.
Rarity frowned. "Your great grandfather?" she asked, feigning polite conversation. It was obvious the Prince didn't recognize her, and she didn't want to bring up his rudeness at the gala just yet.
Blueblood nodded. "Well, my great-great-great grandfather, actually. Hundreds of years ago, he slayed a mighty dragon that threatened to destroy Canterlot single-hoofed. After witnessing his act of bravery, the Princess gave him the title of Prince, and our family has been noble ever since."
Rarity doubted that had actually happened, and made a mental note to ask the princess about it later. "Was he a brave knight and a gentlepony?" she asked.
"Why, of course. The Blueblood family was famous for being brave yet kind," he answered.
"I wonder what happened to that" Rarity said.
"What? The Bluebloods are-"
Blueblood's sentence was cut off by a hoof connecting with his face. "You are the exact opposite of a gentlepony!" Rarity said. "You're lucky a hoof to the face is all you get!"
Rarity walked away, leaving a confused and hurting Blueblood behind her.
This hoof is getting a lot of action today.
The little bit at the end really doesn't pertain to the story, I just though that Rarity needed a chance to get some revenge on Blueblood. I hate that guy.
I might kill him off. That would stay comedy, right? It is Blueblood we're talking about.
Blueblood should have been made an earth pony as well -- just because.
1682478
You can do one of three things with Blueblood - redeem him, prank him, or kill him.
I vote kill him.
1682478 Killing anypony seems just too harsh. Blueblood is a jerk, but he probably had some sort of reason like Babs Seed. A hoof in the face is good enough for me.
1682557
Possibly a hoof in other uncomfortable places.
Besides, Blueblood's a jerk because he thinks him being a prince makes him above everyone else.
1682478
Nope. If you kill off a character because they were a jerk that's not really comedic.
So many people have trouble telling the different between "Jerk" and "Evil" in fiction. Being an asshole does not mean you deserve to die.
1682611
What if he's a mega-asshole?
Like, a super mega-asshole.
Because he is.
He's the King of Assholes.
Prince Asshole.
Prince Assblood.
I like that one. Prince Assblood.
1682478
i hate blueblood too but i don't think killing him would fit the theme of the story. if anything i bet all the ponies he's been a jerk to would prob want to use their new powers to make his life miserable. servants especially would have a great shot now.
1682662
Ooh, I like that. In a few more chapters I'll have a Blueblood intermission, and I might use that 'servant revenge' idea.
Also, next chapter features CMC. Yesterday's episode was awesome.
1682625
Doesn't matter. A jerkass will only ever be a jerkass. He hasn't actually done anything deserving of death. Oh sure, slap him around a little, humiliate him thoroughly, but he doesn't deserve to die.
1682686
You'e right. He gets to live...
For now. There are many other stories I could write that involve him being put to death...
1682698
Also, it's kind of funny how many people have missed the scene where Rarity was baptizing the ship(in that Fancy Pants episode) and Prince Blueblood is standing right next to her.
Pretty obvious that they made up at some point offscreen.
images.wikia.com/mlp/images/archive/7/7e/20111204213234!Prince_blueblood_and_rarity.PNG
Yeah, that happened.
1682676 They could beat him into a coma, which is the closest to death you can get.
1682768
No, the closest I could get to death is death. You people don't tell me what to do.
I DO WHAT I WANT.
1682789
I'm sure you're capable of going further.
Now, keel heem.
1682789
This might just be me, but I find the idea of Alicornism making Blueblood super nice would actually be funnier then just killing him. The way I reason it, the prince developed a massive inferiority/resentment complex growing up as a unicorn when everyone else is an Alicorn. But now that his mommy issues are resolved, he's a prancing embodiment of niceness.
Just my two cents though.
1682842 Are you a wizard?
1682548i vote exile to Badlands
This hoof is getting a lot of action today
BOWCHICKA BOW WOW

1682958
Not sure if likes or dislikes story...?
1682478 No. Blueblood acted like a douche, but there are always reasons behind how people act. He's probably gay. That's how I make women go away. Ship him with someone. I love Blueblood shipping.
1682997
I just think he thinks he's better then everypony else because he's a prince. That's how I justify it.
In my upcoming story about the flying magic Timberwolves, he's gonna get eaten.
Rarit's pimp hoof needs to stay strong!
1683013 .... Seriously though? Tell you what, make Silver Spoon shove broken glass into Diamond Tiara's crotch, Discord can be chained for all eternity for the crime of chocolate rain, Chrysalis can go to prison and watch the changelings starve, Luna needs redemption for her crimes, Sombra... I've got nothing, fuck Sombra. Seriously, I hate it when people hurt Blueblood just because he's a dick. They're the same people who use 'love and tolerate' to insult non-bronies and rebut criticism.
1683064
LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING BLUEBLOOD DIES IN THIS STORY.
1683087 Okay. I'll go kick a puppy. See you later!
1682842
i doubt blueblood was surrounded by many alicorns seeings as there's only 3. plus i don't think celestia herself gave birth to blueblood and aunt is just an easier way to call celestia without having to say great a million times.
1683210
They aren't even related.
Honorary aunt.
1683214
there we go.
1682478
Tsk tsk, killing Blueblood would be to good for the scoundrel. Nay, we would much rather be prithy to his everlasting torment.
1682478
Nah - he's a jerk, he's not evil. You'd have to get him to cross that line before you could justify killing him. And why do that? As a jerk, he's prime material for the position of Butt Monkey. As an Alicorn, congratulations - you just created the perfect Iron Butt Monkey. Have fun.
1682478
If you do kill him off, it has to be in a comedy/ironic/slapstick/absurd manner.
1682753
Or, they sucked it up and worked together even though they absolutely hated each other, and went their separate ways directly after the event.
______________
Rarity is breaking the fourth wall!?

1682478
Kill him, but do it in a funny way like slipping on a banana peel and breaking his neck.
1682789 GOD IT WAS ONLY A SUGGESTION.
1682676
He should fall for another alicorn of equal beauty, have the spell die while they're in bed, and wake up next to your choice of Gonk.
If you ask me Blueblood is a total fool [Like the saying goes [He who know not and knows not he know not is a fool shun him
I approve of this silliness.
1682478 I never found him to be that much of a villain. Mostly because I don't give a shit.
1682531
He should be poor. He should have lice. He should have nobody to love him.
Just thinking everyone else's thoughts. You know it needs to happen.
EqD rejected my story. But that's okay, they say it was because of grammar issues. They didn't comment on whether or not the story was good or not, but oh well. Maybe one day I'll re-submit after fixing some grammar problems. Anybody else here get rejected by them?
1690562
My story was rejected by them, too.
They didn't even read it, though.
It was just because of one little rule that makes no sense to me.
The rule is, "It can't be a story with a brony in Equestria, but there can be a human in Equestria."
.... What's the point of this rule, exactly?
1682964
It's not that I didn't like it, it just... didn't know what to expect.
1683214
Blueblood and Celestia are related (distantly and indirectly), per Lauren Faust on DeviantArt. Luna and Celestia have no children or siblings, but Faust says he's descended from their mother's side of the family.
1691056
I can understand that rule. I, for one, dislike brony in Equestria stories as they are usually extensions of the author.
1692650
Really? I didn't know that. I'll keep that in mind.
1682753 Yeah, because Blueblood and Rarity would absolutely refuse to be seen together even if it would boost their social status... ~_~ Turn on your political brain for JUST a second...
Rarity was the most popular pony at the time, yes? Ergo, you host an event, you want her to be there, and to be the guest of honor, because then YOU look good for having invited her, and she in return has basically acknowledged your status as well for agreeing to go/come. Rarity was only seeking to keep her status as the most popular pony, same as Blueblood. They likely didn't talk much, or, if they did, Rarity pretended to be cultured with him to prevent her status from going down.
In short, your theory doesn't have much to stand on without us getting to see more. With what little we've seen, we can logically conclude that it was a mutual acceptance, though to what extent we cannot infer without further data.
"Well shucks, after all that screamin', you must be feelin'...
*shades*
...a little hoarse!"
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH
1682997 Oh, dear. That put an idea in my head... Blueblood is gay and falls in love with Big Mac. Big Mac, however, is not gay. That would be hilarious. Someone should write that.
I never thought I'd see the day in which I would suggest an M/M shipfic.
I don't know about all of you, but for me, this is so not cool!"
Don't care for being a goddess eh?
"Well, um, I do not know if I can perform the spell to turn everypony back...", she stated, a nervous sweat appearing on her forehead.
If there is a back, how are they supposed to tell what species each individual pony was BEFORE?
Luna rolled her eyes. "There's no need to worry so much, Celestia. Nopony has even noticed that the sun hasn't moved, and it's already been a day!"
And how long before that begins to cause the same kind of damage everlasting night would have but on the opposite end of the scale? (See the Twilight Zone episode "Midnight Sun")
Rarity doubted that had actually happened, and made a mental note to ask the princess about it later.
Why? Because Blueblood is a jerk?
Wow. I know Blueblood is a spoiled jerk, but seriously, isn't Rarity being petty for bringing this up so long after the fact? And the fact they acted civil to each other in Sweet and Elite for all appearances. And if Blueblood DOESN'T recognize her, then he just sees it as the world being unfair to him.
