"Another day, another royal court, with the same issues, and practically the same ponies. It's all so... boring," I thought to myself. I would have thought more, but I was interrupted...

"Would that be pleasing to you, your highness?" asked a gray pegasus.

"Oh, what was he trying to do?" I put on my thinking smile for him. "Oh, I remember! Plans for a weather factory in Cloudsdale."

"Yes," I said, "that would be pleasing. You may proceed with your plans."

"Oh, thank you, your highness," he said, barely containing his excitement as he left.

I prepared for more boredom.

"Sister?" I heard instead.

"Yes, Luna? Is there something you need?"

"Well, yes. I wanted to make a formal request for this. You see, I want... I want a throne."

"Oh..." I stumbled out. "Sorry, but I suddenly need to use the loo.”
