"Howdy, it's Applejack. Sorry I missed your call, leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!"

Why isn't Applejack answering her phone?

And why is her inbox so full?

A short story told through voicemails.

That day…everything changed. Princess Twilight Sparkle became our Queen. I’ve heard rumors she’s been having trouble holding onto power. But it’s not from a resistance or an outside threat.
It's from her friends.

Rarity looked down at the logs on her desk. Sure enough, everypony had taken care of their pets, exercised, and gone to sleep at the right time. But she knew some of them were lying. At first, Twilight's idea of monitoring everypony's lives seemed like a good one. Now, Rarity wasn't so sure.
Twilight was still hurting. She wasn't seeing clearly what she was doing to Equestria.

Inspired by the song 'Hail to the Queen' by navybrony.
