//------------------------------// // The other only chapter // Story: Fire and Fury // by Ignimbrite //------------------------------// It was a few days later, and Celestia and Luna were out in the gardens enjoying a nice walk. It was a fine, sunny day, the kind of day in which absolutely nothing could go wrong. Naturally, any day in which nothing could go wrong is automatically the perfect day for things to go wrong, and it was at this moment that this day decided to prove itself exactly that. A faint hissing came in from around the two Princesses. As it grew louder, diabolical laughter joined it. Flames crept in from the bushes, moving like snakes and traveling over the tops so as not to actually set the bushes themselves on fire. The flames converged just in front of the two sisters and swirled into a ball of fire as the laughter continually increased in volume. "Mua ha ha ha ha ha hack agh..."- cough cough- "smoke inhalation... ahem... "MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" The fireball dissipated, revealing a hovering, burning, Princess Twilight Sparkle. "BEHOLD... THE BURNING DAWN!!! "HENCEFORTH, THE SUNRISE SHALL LAST FOREVER!!!!! "MUA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!" The two sisters looked up at the young alicorn with wide eyes and pinprick pupils. It was then that a bright flash came from the bushes. A giggling voice followed. "You got it?" "Yeah, yeah, hold on a sec," somepony rasped, "it's almost developed..." Five seconds later, the raspy voice burst out laughing. The giggling voice soon followed. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie rolled out of the bushes, Rainbow clutching an instant camera and Pinkie holding a fresh photo of the Princesses' horrified expressions. Twilight, meanwhile, had turned purple again and was hovering over them. "Let me see." With that, she dropped to the ground, shrieking with laughter herself. "What is the meaning of this?" Rainbow looked up at the Princesses. "Well... Pinkie and I might have had this idea for a prank when we saw Twilight's other form..." "And we might have convinced her to join in on it..." Pinkie added. "And you two might have lost the bet." Twilight held out a hoof. Rainbow and Pinkie both hoofed her a couple bits. "Totally worth it." Celestia and Luna looked at each other. Back in their chambers, the two sisters reconsidered their plan to officially have Twilight succeed them. The country was stable enough, after all. The plan could wait at least a couple years.
