//------------------------------// // Week 6 Hiatus Special: ENN Report Potential Libel // Story: Unpleasant Correspondence // by StormLuna //------------------------------// Report by Equestria News Network Not that long ago, a letter was written by a pony who at one time was an Element Bearer going into great detail about things that our beloved Princess Celestia has done over the centuries and while none of us here at ENN believe a word of it but we have contacted Princess Celestia and will now air our interview with our beloved monarch "Princess Celestia, recently a very libelous letter against you has surfaced in every single newspaper in Equestria. From what we understand it was written by a former Element Bearer and former marefriend of Princess Twilight Sparkle. In it, she mentions a great deal of things that portray you in a negative light. What is your take on her letter?" "Well I am going to admit, I am not thrilled that a pony that I know personally would pull such a thing. Yes her and I are on bad terms but for her to make such unsubstantiated claims is horrible, not to mention it is an act of treason." "Princess, one thing I am sure that many ponies may wonder is whether or not any of this is true. Are any of her claims actually true?" "Regarding my activities with my students, I am going to admit I have engaged in sexual activities with my female students once they have matured. Now many may think that I force them to do so but I do not. Every single sexual encounter with my students over the centuries has been completely consensual." "Princess, I know many, many ponies have read this and it will not be long until everypony in Equestria will know about your activities with your students. Is there anything you can reassure parents to let them know that sending their fillies to your school will not harm them any?" "My message to the parents would be that I never have nor would I ever force your daughter to engage in sexual activities prior to her maturing nor would I ever force myself upon her. If a student does not wish to engage in such activities with me, she will not be required to do so. And before anypony asks, the sexual activities are not extra credit. The students who do not want to engage in anything with me will never be at a disadvantage." "Regarding the students, how many or what percentage of them do you engage in sexual activities with?" "Over the past thousand years that I have operated the school, a grand total of twenty have been intimate with me, only twenty. I have had thousands of students over the past millennia so I would say that a mere twenty is a very low number. I have read the letter and it makes it sound like I force every single one of them into my bedroom." "Moving on, the letter accuses you of raising your students to be lesbians. As we know, a majority of the mares in Equestria are lesbians and unicorns have by far the highest percentage of lesbians, sitting at 95%. Do you raise them to be lesbians and discourage relationships with stallions or is the accusation in this letter a lie?" "The statistics you have are correct regarding the percentage of lesbians in the unicorn population so the chances of a heterosexual or even bi-sexual mare winding up in my school are extremely small. Unicorns that are either straight or bi-sexual generally aren't born with the innate ability to perform magic at a sufficient level to enter my school. It is the lesbians who are born naturally talented so this accusation is nothing short of libel." "Another thing this letter brought up was that your female students often engage in sexual activities with one another once they mature. Is this true, do they do that?" "What my students do during their off-time is their business. I have my suspicions that they do and I am pretty sure the accusations are right about where they do it but if it aids them in their studies and lessens their stress, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it." "Seriously princess, you see nothing wrong with it at all?" "Why should I? It is not like they are going out, writing libelous letters and having them printed all over Equestria, right? Nor are they going out, trying to start rebellions and suggesting an idiotic republic like the author of the letter is either." "Well no, they're not. Now another thing that I noticed is that in the letter, the author called four specific ponies out. What do you think about this? Are you upset that they were called out by name?" "Actually yes I am but I have a feeling that the author of this letter may be facing libel charges from at least one of those that was listed, and that is if the author is lucky." *gives a smile* "With any luck, the author will be approached by the four that were called out and be punished in a just way." "Now about the accusations that you and Princess Twilight still engage in sexual activities despite her having been ascended. Is that true?" "That right there is an outright lie. Despite Twilight and I having had a rather turbulent past, we have something that is closer to a mother/daughter relationship so that is not true." *glares into camera* "Now that right there is enough reason to charge the author with libel and I shall do so. I am also hoping that Princess Twilight and any other pony this author has defamed will file a complaint over this." "Regarding Twilight and Cadence, the author claims that it was you who raised Twilight in a way that caused her to do what she did with Cadence, despite her being her sister-in-law, what is your response to this?" "Hey, I don't control what Twilight does all the time and I am certainly not responsible for her urges. I am going to admit, I know this author personally and I have a feeling I know why she wrote this libelous and treasonous letter." "Princess Celestia, the author of this stated that you would have sex with any random mare and that she was one of them. Was it consensual or did you force yourself on her? Did you two have any sort of falling out that may have led to her doing this?" "For starters, it was consensual. I did not force herself on her and regarding the falling out, she is just upset because I will not force Princess Twilight to release a drug offender from her dungeon. It is Twilight's job to handle criminals in Ponyville and the author is simply upset Twilight is doing her job." "The author also brought up you blowing off her reporting instances where Twilight tried to basically rape her. Is this true? Did she ever report such things to you and did you simply blow them off? Did you simply tell her to put out for Twilight so she would stop complaining?" "That right there is a blatant lie. I would NEVER allow one of my subjects to have to go through such things. Yes Twilight is a princess and is like a daughter to me but I would never allow her or anypony else to get away with such things. These are false accusations solely because Fluttershy is upset that I will not order that she release prisoners that she is close to." "In the end the author states that you need to be deposed and that Equestria should be a republic since elected officials would never engage in the activities that she claims you do." *becomes angry* "I have read it" *begins to scowl* "and Fluttershy, you are going to wish that you never mentioned that "R" word in Equestria. The last part of your letter is not only an act of treason, but you are also trying to encourage a rebellion and that will not be tolerated." *becomes nervous* "So Princess, what sort of action will you be taking against Fluttershy for this?" "Well for the libel, I am thinking a few months in the dungeon will suffice but for the treasonous ideas of deposing me and even thinking about a republic, death is the only punishment that will suffice." "But Princess, she is a hero of Equestria! She was an Element......" "Treason is treason and I have decided to deem her a threat to national security and the only way to handle that kind of pony is death." *begins to laugh* "And I am issuing an executive order for all news outlets to come and air my burning her alive in the West Castle Courtyard LIVE! It is my belief that if everypony sees what happens to traitors, they will know to never even THINK about trying to start a rebellion, overthrow me and they certainly will learn that NOPONY better ever even think that a republic would be better." *speaks louder* "Remember what happened to the earth pony government back in the day Flutters? Remember how their republic failed and their government collapsed? That is what republics are, nothing but failures." "Well Princess we have ran out of time but thank you for your time and we are glad to know that you aren't this horrible pony that this Fluttershy is claiming you are. You have a good day." "You as well." Well Equestria, what is your take? Do you believe that Princess Celestia is hiding anything or do you think that this Fluttershy is nothing more than a troublemaker trying to cause a rebellion, a troublemaker that is engaging in an act of treason? Personally I think this Fluttershy is nothing more than a troublemaker who is trying to defame our beloved Princess and drag her name through the mud.
