Twilight was in a cell her wings were bound to her side there was a ring around her horn keeping her from using magic. The door to the cell opened. Her former mentor Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, her parents, her brother, her sister and law, and the other bearers of the elements of harmony all walked in.

“Twilight we need to talk.” Celestia said in an upset tone.

“Why Twilight, why would you abuse Spike.” Shining Armor spoke.

“I couldn’t allow him to ruin my reputation. I am a princess.” Twilight spoke.

“You know abusing him gave you a pretty darn bad reputation.” Applejack said in disappointment. 

“You do realize that child labor is illegal.” Luna said in disgust at the former princess.

“I needed him to help me make sure that my house was clean for the nobles.” Twilight interjected.

“Twilight just because you were a princess doesn't give you the right to treat an eleven year old like a servant when it is illegal by law for a child to work until they are at least sixteen.” Princess Celestia added on.

“Actually servants are given better treatment than what you did to Spike.” Princess Cadance pointed out.

“Princesses need assistance to help with matters regarding Equestria.” Twilight stated.

“Yes but they have to be hired and paid for that work and it can’t be damn kids.” Rainbow Dash said agitated.

“Not to mention the fact that you stopped homeschooling Spike it is illegal in Equestria for a child to not get an education.” Fluttershy pointed out.

“Who cares if that traitor gets an education.” Twilight said bitterly.

Everypony gasped at that  “Everybody cares you jerk.” Pinkie Pie said.

“You do realize that any princess that abuses their power can be stripped of that power.” Princess Celestia spoke.

“Since you have not only broken several laws including child mental and phsyical abuse, illegal child labor, as well as denying a child a right to an education. But also have caused tension between Equestria and the dragons of Draconta you have given us no choice but to strip you of you’re title as princess of Equestria.” Princess Celestia decreed.

“I figured as much.” Twilight said.

“It’s what we have to do unfortunately.” Princess Celestia said.

“We are leaving now and you will be staying here for the next twenty years for your crimes.” Princess Celestia said. The close friends and family then left the alicorn to rot in her cell for her term.
