Zecora raised an eyebrow at that before looking back into the book of rules that Applebloom had given her before getting her out here to ref the game. As some one with no stake in the game she was perfect to judge it according to Applebloom. Honestly Zecora thought it might have more to do with the fact they couldn't find the black and white shirt the ref usually wore. Zecora looked in the book again, then up at the field that was mostly on fire with a cackling Sunset in the middle of it preventing Braeburn's team from advancing to the goal. Also in the middle of the field denying shot after shot was a massive orange furred Witch-wolf simply smacking the ball away. The final member of the team was a orange furred blur of green fire as Scootaloo darted around the field with turns and crimes against physics that would have made Twilight cry if she was here. The filly was completely unbothered by Sunset's pyromania and had scored the majority of the goals for her team. Not to say the game was one sided, as Braeburn had chosen to be the coach, much as Rainbow Dash had done. His actual team was a Buffalo massive enough that all it had to do was sit in front of the goal to block it. Little Strong Heart, who as her role as a shaman counted as the unicorn for the team though she was just as quick and agile as Scootaloo. And a changeling who while no where near as quick and agile as Scootaloo, was shifting forms fast enough into odd shapes and was just as good at defense as Witch-Jack. Sunset's lighting the field on fire was the latest strategy to limit the other team. Little Strong Heart was already calling a storm to put it out. The score was after ten minutes 8 to 8 and despite being the ref she had no idea how any of those scores had even happened. Zecora closed the book with a sigh. “Ah've given it anotha look, and there's nothing about fiah in tha book!” Zecora stated, restarting the game. [ Canterlot Castle.] It was cute really, Celestia thought to herself. That they thought this would work. Across from her sat Luna sipping her coffee, clearly having missed the news. Luna was also still using the mug that read 'Best Princess' with the sun crossed out on it and a crescent moon hastily drawn on the side. Celestia would get that mug back one day. Probably in time for coco season. Mysteriously, all her main chefs had called out sick today and the backups had to be called in. She shook her head filling her cup with tea before taking a drink of it. Like she couldn't see Twilight's plan to mess with her food. Still what better way to deal with a trap then to spring it. In truth if she hadn't been looking for it she still might have missed it, and she had no idea how she could have missed this. “Le arf?” Rahs asked Luna. He was currently dressed like a fancy waiter with a massive curled mustache on his face. Luna didn't even look up from the provided menu. “We shall have the fettuccini with broccoli and spinach.” Luna offered as Rahs jotted it down before walking over to Celestia with a wide grin on his face. “Le Bark?” he asked casually and Celestia simply rolled her eyes. “I'll have the tall stack of pancakes with maple syrup, whip cream and strawberries.” Celestia offered staring dead on at Rahs who wrote it down as well before bowing and padding off to the kitchen. Celestia sighed taking another sip of tea before refilling her cup. Honestly this was amateurish. Like she would eat anything that lot provided. She had gone through a few more cups by the time the food showed up. Her platter carried by Rahs, with Spike also in a tux, and a even more ridiculous mustache, presenting Luna's food. Twilight stood at the door to the kitchens in a chiefs hat and a full Fu Manchu mustache and beard. Celestia sighed as Luna gathered her fork, her own magic stopping her sister from taking a bite. “Seriously Twilight, do you expect cheap costumes and Prench accents to fool us?” Celestia huffed shaking her head as Luna blinked and actually looked at the trio by the door her eyes widening. ”I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.” Celestia huffed and teleported both meals directly to the dump dropping the now empty plates in the kitchen sink for good measure all while still staring down the Sparkles. The trio looked at each other then back to her and only seemed to grin wider. Celestia frowned at that. That was a worrying reaction. “Why are you smiling?” Luna questioned before taking a drink of her coffee, pausing before spitting it out and coughing before looking into her mug with a frown. “What deviltry is this?” “Please Princess, do you think we would reveal our hoof if it wasn't already too late?” Spike smirked wider. “We've been here since late last night and made your coffee and tea too.” Twilight grinned. "Quite a nasty little potion in there just coming into effect." “Pity you threw out the antidote in a fit of paranoia. Just as planned.” “A a small dose it should only last a few days, but you two have been chugging.....Peace out!” Twilight offered before her horn flared and the trio vanished in a pop of teleportation. Luna was screaming as Celestia tasted her tea again. The flavor was not the calming mint of earlier. Celestia spit it out as quickly as Luna did, the pair of them looked at each other and rushed into the kitchen, tearing open fresh packages and obvious unsullied items trying them all with the same result. Everything tasted like black licorice. “That mare wants a war.” Celestia snarled spitting out the remains of a twinkie, the cream filling ruined. “She is getting one." “It was your idea to use Jam Golems!!” Luna wailed spitting out a hoof full of chocolate coffee beans, now the flavor of rancid death “We surrendered after they defiled my moon why are we still suffering!!”
