I'm not fat, Lulu!




There are those moments in time where you just feel sorry for whatever was going to happen next to that poor pony who had just happened to say or do the wrong thing; one of those times was now, and while you might have wanted to see what would happen to said pony, sometimes, it's just much, much better for your health to leave the scene quickly, as every pony except two quickly got the concept of. Guards quietly ushered out servants and a few aristocrats, and all glanced fearfully back at the only two ponies that were soon going to be left in the room; Princess Celestia and Luna. Nopony wanted to get caught in the crossfire, so the dining hall was evacuated quite abruptly, leaving only the two together. Neither princess noticed this, and if they did, they didn't acknowledge it. 

Celestia frowned as she glared at Luna, who was on the opposite side of the table that they were sitting at, and she wilted underneath the tremendous weight of Celestia's eyes; this was one grave she dug that was too far for her to climb up out of. Being sisters, they, of course, liked to tease one another, that was just natural. Sometimes, teasing goes a little too far, and one of them got mad; that too, was natural, and they would often make it up to one another with subtle little gifts and hugs. This time, though, Luna went too far; she told her sister to eat the one thing that she wouldn't ever eat, and that made Celestia, very, very angry.

"What did you just tell me to eat, Lulu?"

"I-It was something that slipped my mind! I won't do the s-same mistake again! W-We...I promise not to say it again!"

"Well, I do believe that I didn't hear you correctly the first time, Lulu, so say it again."

With no response from her fearful sister, Celestia growled, and got up from her chair, clearly ticked off; she leaned in slightly, and spoke softly, a sign that things were only about to get worse for Luna if she didn't comply.

"Say it. Again." Still not wanting to respond to her sister, she attempted to change the topic of discussion, even though it wasn't likely to succeed. Still, it was worth a shot.

"...Tia...H-have you noticed how beautiful the s-sun is toda-."

"OUT WITH IT LULU!"

"BANANAS! I TOLD YOU TO EAT A BANANA, SISTER!"

A silence reigned over the table as both alicorns stared at each other, one in fear, and the other in anger; both knew that this wouldn't end well, but Luna nevertheless tried to find a way to vent her sister's anger; it was either that, or endure one of Celestia's punishments, and Celestia was very, very through in her punishments.

"N-Now Celestia...It's just a yellow fru-"

She cut off as her sister somehow strode across the entire length of the dining table in a few seconds to stuff a hoof in her mouth and looked around wildly; fortunately, or unfortunately, in Luna's case, there were no other ponies around. Giving a sigh of relief, Celestia popped her hoof out from an indignant Luna's mouth, and spoke up quietly.

"That 'thing' is not a 'fruit' Luna, and I don't want you to even refer to 'it' as such! 'It' is an abomination on this land-"

"Oh, so bananas are yet those...'Things' you call 'apples' are?!"

"That's different! Apples are actually good for you!"

"If you're going to argue that, so are bananas!"

"They are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are-"

"NO."

Celestia waved an apple core up in front of Luna's face, and as a result from that course of action, Luna fainted; Celestia placed the apple down, and turned around to look at her plate. This plate was scrubbed clean of all other foods, except for one, and it seemed like it was staring back at her. Oh, how she hated that so called food item that dared call itself a 'fruit', with its unnatural yellow color, the few black spots scattered across its surface in an obvious show of how corrupted it was, and the dastardly way it was shaped all led to the conclusion that it was nothing less than pure, 'edible' evil. It seemed to glare right back at her, and she returned the favor by glaring right back at it with the intensity of a thousand suns.

Said action caused the banana to melt...And the plate, and part of the table as well. Celestia realized she was putting her stare on a little too thickly once she realized that she could smell the tell tale sign of wood burning, specifically, the table. Panicking, she stopped glaring at the spot where the banana once was to douse the burning table, grumbling as she saw the results from conjuring water to prevent the table from becoming anything more than a hunk of firewood; thankfully, her sister wasn't harmed by the fire, as she was slumped over on the other side.

That was when another smell hit her; a smell that was worse than anything her nose ever had the 'grace' to smell before...

That smell was of an overly fried, crispy, burnt banana, and unfortunately for Celestia, there was no gas mask for her nearby to escape the nauseating stench; she began to feel woozy, and her brain slowly started to shut itself down.

She, too, fainted, alongside Luna. Ponies from then after that event learned to never mention bananas in front of Celestia, should they incur her wrath for all things yellow and curvy that dared called itself a fruit; there was even a group of ponies formed afterwards to abolish bananas completely, or at the very least, remove their standing as 'fruit' and replace it with 'evil inedible spawn of Tirek', and the group almost got funded by Celestia until Luna stopped her and complained about the status of apples; the two groups are currently locked in a stalemate without any true backing from each princess.
