8: Princess Celestia's Day Off

"Tia! Discord is being annoying!"

"Well, if she hadn't insulted my face I wouldn't be bugging her, now would I?"

"Celestia, make them stop fighting!"

"Celestia! Sombra is being annoying as well!"

"He ruined my plans! And just when I thought my dreams would become reality! Drat."

"What were your plans? Eternal Light? Ha! Been there, done that." Luna's voice echoed.

"Sh-Shut up, Luna. If there was Eternal Light, then ponies would never be cold! And I'd be a Goddess in their eyes!"

"You already are."

"Please, just let me have this."

"Okay, okay, you whiny foals. Why can't you be quiet?!" Celestia kicked down the kitchen door. "Can I have just one day of peace? One?!"

"Oh, but my dear Celestia, we are being quite fancy here," Discord commented after changing the chairs into fancy ones, and putting every pony in a monocle, top hat, and mustache.

"You wanna go to the moon?"

"Why-I-mean-but-I am going to be quiet now." Discord stuttered.

Celestia looked to the other ponies in the room; they had their heads on the table, looking up at her, frightened. Celestia then walked out of the room and to the Royal Spa; it was her day off after all.

"Luna's in charge!" Celestia called.

"Huzzah! Now, every pony listens to me, or I send you to the sun! Ha!" Luna cackled.

"Hold me, Nightmare, I'm scared!" Discord jumped into Nightmare's hooves, which she immediately dropped him on his bum.

"Don't touch me." Nightmare growled.

"Well then," Luna interuppted.

"I can see this'll turn out horribly. I think I'm going to go do my paperwork for today, Princess." Chrysalis spat.

Sombra, Discord, Nightmare, and Solly all looked at one another.

"I am going to go with Chrysalis, see if she needs any help, and maybe I'll do my paperwork too..." Sombra said before galloping after Chrysalis.

"I think we should make a Solar Eclipse!" Nighty said, waving her fore hooves frantically.

"No, one is not scheduled until next month." Princess Luna stated regally.

"What-but-and-then-and-but-what?!" Nighty yelled.

"I am the acting 'Queen' of this Kingdom for the day, so I shall follow the royal rules. And I will also enforce them. Let's see, list of Royal Duties to do today..." Luna stated flatly, examining a scroll. "Solar Flare, be a dear and make me some tea?"

Solar Flare growled but went and made some tea, making it extra hot. "Now throw it in Discord's face, please."

Solar Flare happily threw the liquid right into the draconeequs' eyes. He recoiled in pain and let out screams, only to be muffled by Nightmare Moon. She petted his mane and cooed in his ear.

"Shhh, it's okay. We'll take good care of you, Discord," Nighty said, staring off into space and giving a crazy smile, terrifying the poor creature.

"I feel so violated. I'm going to go to my room to... sulk for a few hours," Discord said, teleporting to his room. He sat in a giant orange chair, chaos scattered throughout the space, and his neck was bent over, as he looked like a fish hook upside down. He let out a sigh as he sipped his tea from the cup without gravity's consent.

"Okay, Nighty, Solly, we are going to show Celestia that we are mature Goddesses. Think you can handle to be good for three hours?" Luna asked in all seriousness.

Nighty and Solly sighed in unison and asked, "What are you going to make us do?"

Luna brought her hooves together and smiled devilishly. "Nothing humiliating."

[Twenty Minutes Later]

"How in Equestria is this not humiliating?!" Nightmare yelled to Luna.

"Just do it!" Luna yelled back from the audience of the darkened theater.

Nightmare Moon walked out from stage left in a frilly pink dress, spouting, "Oh, Solly, my Solly, where art thou, my Solly?" She spoke without meaning and mechanically, making Luna's brow furrow.

"Cut!" Discord said, appearing in a director's uniform. "Listen, Luna, baby, I'll get everything played out just the way you want."

"Get your paw off of me and you have a deal, sir." Luna spoke, deadpanning.

Discord disappeared and reappeared above the stage, magical strings attached to sticks. He magically tied them to Nighty and Solly, and in his best acting voice he yelled, "Solar Flare and Nightmare Moon in: Romeo and Juliet!"

Nightmare walked out, dressed in a gorgeous dark blue dress, her hair done up in braids. He winked down at her and she smiled her best smile, before saying in her most eloquent voice: "Oh, Solar Flare, my Solar Flare, where art thou, my Solar Flare?" Discord added a fore hoof to her forehead for affect.

"Why, my Princess of the Night, I am here! Solar Flare, Princess of Light is here!" Solar Flare yelled, rushing in stage right.

"Cut!" Luna yelled, holding her stomach as she laughed. "Ohoho, that was rich!"

"I do like this new gown, thank you, Discord, dear." Nightmare stated, flashing her dress around.

"I want one too! I have to have a look for when I become Queen of Lights Berg." Flare said, an identical dress in red appearing on her body. She made a squee noise and she and Nightmare bounced off to play in the Royal Gardens.

"Discord~!" Luna sing-song-ed.

"No." He responded.

"Oh Discord~!" She replied.

"Celestia, please, no, Luna." Discord face palmed.

"Discord likes Nightmare! Discord likes Nightmare!" Luna danced around the Chaotic God chanting the same thing over and over, laughing.

"I'm going to my room for some pleasant chaos." Discord pouted, teleporting away.

Luna jumped to her hooves and trotted to the throne room, smiling happily.

[Four and a Half Hours Later]

"Ah, nice and fresh. I hope they- Oh Luna, they did." Celestia face-hoofed.

Discord let chaos reign throughout the halls, Nightmare flooding some and Flare burning many blank scrolls just for fun, and in the middle Luna sat, staring at a piece of paper, ear and eye twitching. Chrysalis and Sombra looked to Celestia and sighed.

Celestia forced the Chaos out of the castle, repairing everything it had destroyed, and sending Discord to his room for Fifteen Minutes of No Discord. She emptied the halls of water and let the few scrolls burn, then sent Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare to their rooms like they were fillies. They took advantage of Luna's weakness, but her big sister ruled with an iron hoof, but kind heart. Most of the time. Chrysalis and Sombra chatted as they trotted back to the Dungeon, talking about getting things like crystals and an empire.

Celestia ignored them and continued to the throne room where Luna sat, crying and reading the paper over and over again. Celestia peeked over her shoulder and read the scroll.

'We want Sun Butt back, not Moon Butt!' It read.

"Sister, am I really that bad of a leader?" Luna asked, looking up at her big sister.

"No, Luna, you are a great leader," She stated, brushing her mane with her hoof. "In fact, the asshole who wrote this is going to the sun for a night."

"Who wrote it?" Luna asked, then face hoofed. "Damn you, Discord!"

Celestia suppressed a giggle and shot a bolt of magic down the halls, the yellow bolt springing from window to window, from glass to glass, eventually hitting Discord slap on the face. He cried as he was sent to the sun, yelling:

"I will be back, Sun Butt! And I'll get my revenge!" With that, and the shaking of a claw, Luna and Celestia went to bed.
