Princess Celestia has been keeping a dark secret from her subjects for a very long time.

It's not an easy truth to tell, but if anyone can accept her after learning it, it will surely be her most faithful student.

Celestia trips.

The Moon rises slowly, taking its time as it brings its silver light to the night of Equestria.
But the Sun rises quickly.
Why? Nobody but the Princesses know. Some say it's because Celestia's been raising the Sun for thousands of years. Some say that it's because she has amazing magical power.
However, none hit upon the real reason.
The Sun rises quickly simply because Celestia is not a morning pony.

Celestia and the yak prince have a conversation during Pinkie's party. Turns out that the yaks' visit was not all it appeared to be...

In the wake of Pinkie Pie's fabulous party, Princess Celestia lets Twilight in on an imperative secret about yaks.

They're jerks.

Celestia has had plenty of interesting drunken moments. That night with the mule, the time she woke up on pirate ship in the middle of the sea, and who could forget the time she woke up with a pair of wings, a horn, and a fancy tiara. Oh, and a hangover the size of the sun.

Warning: Drunken Silliness and plenty of foul mouthing

So me and Fuzzyfurvert were having a conversation about how it would be funny if we made a fic with a slightly similar idea to Conker's Bad Fur Day. It extended to Celestia being an earth pony who had one too many to drink. So you can blame him for this silliness.

The princesses decide to have lunch together at the Canterlot Palace. As they enjoy their glorious feast they laugh, chat and generally have a good time.

Until… they come to a shocking realization.

They’re eating meat.

Chain O'Command is just your average guard, having an average work day. Soon, he will start his next shift where he'll be guarding Princess Celestia's throne room.

Unfortunately, there's something important he forgot to bring, something a guard like him should never forget. Ever.

Princess Celestia is certainly not a swan. Nopony would say that, not at all.
