Gosling was no stranger to hustle, and he did that now so he could meet with Purple Party. No doubt, there was a lot to do and very little time to do it, because that was the natural order of things. Beans and Toast followed along behind him, keeping up with his fleet pace with no trouble at all on their part.
“Cor, that Prince Blueblood is a tosser,” Toast muttered while her hooves clattered against the marble tile floor. “What a right git.”
Unable to help himself, Gosling began to chortle. The twins belonged here in this place, and in time, he could see them becoming part of the family. The great big dysfunctional family that lived within this cuckoo’s nest known as Canterlot Castle. As the trio went in one direction, plenty of ponies were going in the other direction, and some of the passing guards saluted.
“I understand that you have a lot more royalty back home,” Gosling said to the twins, making an attempt to be conversational. “With no alicorns, there are only tribal monarchs.”
“Right,” was Beans’ soft reply. “All we do is bicker though, there is nothing but fighting and nothing ever gets done. None of the various royal families ever agree on anything and more and more they are relying on parliment to run the country.”
“Parliament is no better.” Toast’s voice was firm to the point of being a bit abrasive. “The earth pony parliament doesn’t want to talk to the pegasus pony parliament because they feel the pegasus ponies have been a bit to lax with the weather, and the pegasus ponies feel that the earth ponies are a bit too lazy and aren’t farming like they used to. Meanwhile, the unicorn parliament has turned our markets into an anarcho-capitalist nightmare and I fear we’re heading to our own Mister Mariner incident back home on the isles.”
“Yeah.” Beans’ head bobbed up and down as he walked beside his sister. “You royals know how to get things done, which is why we want to stay here and become citizens.”
“You mean you don’t want to go home and fix everything that is wrong?” Gosling asked.
Toast snorted. “That’s an impossible task. I want results from my hard work. I’d rather stay here and work with royals that actually get things done. Prince Blueblood, he might be a tosser, but he’s a hard working tosser, and I’d be just as proud to be his assistant and I am proud to be yours.”
Thinking of everything that had been said, Gosling didn’t know how to respond.
This is why we have immigrants and immigration. People (or in this case) ponies leave their homeland in hopes of finding a better life in another country.
Too bad the US has taken such a xenophobic attitude since the end of WWII.
Honestly i don't know how the fuck Britain still stands after all the shit that country has been through.
And the US- 4506737 yeah, that.
Looks like it will be an interesting chapter. Of course it probably helps that Celestia has been there helping guide things.
I can understand their desire to stay in Equestria; when your only option to fix the government is to kill every mother fucker and start again from scratch, there's not much to be done.
