Glab, President of the Democratic Order Of Planets (DOOP), escorted her peer around the legislative hall.  She turned and remarked, "Princess Celestia, in just a few minutes we will begin the ceremony to officially induct your planet into the DOOP."

Princess Celestia smiled, "I am in no hurry Madame President.  In fact, I find that I am quite enjoying myself.  There are so many species here that I have never seen before."  Gazing at the masses, she asked quite surprised, "Are those creatures made of yarn?"

"Yes, they come from Nylar IV."

"How very interesting."

A brash and imposing figure strode up to the couple.  President Glab said, "Princess Celestia, let me introduce Twenty-Five Star General Zapp Brannigan."

Zapp Brannigan reached out and kissed the offered hoof of Princess Celestia.  "It is an honor to meet you," he said.  "And might I add, you are looking quite horny for someone of your age."

Five minutes later....

Zapp Brannigan laid bloody and broken upon the floor.  Princess Celestia turned to President Glab, "Equestria formally declares war on the DOOP."





The staff of Planet Express lounged around the room watching TV.

Morbo appeared on the screen.  "...We have breaking news from DOOP headquarters, where a major diplomatic incident has occurred.  Princess Celestia, leader of Equestria, has beaten up Zapp Brannigan, who had this to say...."

On the television Zapp Brannigan, with a black eye and right arm in a sling, stood behind a podium.  "It must have been a misunderstanding on her part.  I meant what I said in the sexiest way possible."

The screen returned to Morbo.  "Equestria has declared war on the DOOP.  But it remains to be seen how a nation with no standing army and only a corps of incompetent royal guards could hope to defeat the galactic might of DOOP...."





Two Days Later....

Inside the devastated DOOP headquarters, dignitaries from across the galaxy gathered for the historic moment.  President Glab signed the paperwork and said, "DOOP has officially surrendered and will submit to becoming conquered territories of Equestria."
