//------------------------------// // FoME's Alicorns, Inc. (Ashfur's "Put that crown back where it came from") // Story: Never the Final Word (Vol. 2) // by FanOfMostEverything //------------------------------// It said something about the past several years that nopony even blinked when the rulers of the nation teleported into Ponyville Square, a suspiciously sticky fluid working its way down their ethereal manes.

Twilight still looked one step away from bursting into flames. Again. After Luna jabbed Celestia's ribs, the largest alicorn added, "Luna means a musical." The rage leaked out of Twilight, only to be replaced with flat disbelief. "Really."

"'Put That Crown Back Where It Came From, or So Help Me.'" Twilight stared at them. They stared back, smiling wide enough that their cheeks hurt. Pinkie bounced between them like a tumbleweed in a Mild West standoff. "Seems legit!"
