Princess Cadence was staring out her window down at her empire, and all of the crystal ponies going through their daily lives. She watched every little thing her subjects did. She watched as little foals ran around the streets playing games, and shouting at friends. She watched as mares went to the spa, quilt shops, jewelery stores, all sorts of girly stores and buildings. The stallions went to typical stallion places, hunting stores, strip clubs, and just about everywhere their wives weren't going. Why the Crystal Empire had strip clubs and hunting stores was unknown, it's illegal to hunt anything, plus most every pony is naked anyways, so why pay for strippers? Cadence stared and stared, watched and watched. She wondered if any of the ponies below her felt the same way as her. After a couple minutes, she heard someone knock, then the door opened up and a white stallion in guard's armor walked in.
"Good morning Princess Cadence. I just came in to check on you." he said.
"Morning Shining." she responded.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not Shining, I'm the new guard, Steel Blade."
"No, I'm sorry, it's just, you're exactly like him in almost every way." She wasn't lying. The only difference was the cutie mark, Steel had a sword in place of Shining's shield.
"It's ok, so, how are you doing?"
"Good, just bored."
"Why are you bored Cadence?"
"It's just, my life is so predictable. I live in a castle with hundreds of rooms, some of which haven't been opened in thousands of years, I rule a kingdom with countless subjects, I have a husband who will never do what you expect he will, and I can't even have fun with my magic. I can't troll people like Celestia over there." She pointed at a white alicorn who was torturing random ponies by switching their body parts around, she wasn't completely evil, so she fixed them after a few minutes.
"Who said you can't use your magic in impish ways?"
Cadence looked at Steel. "You're right, nobody says I can't, so why won't I? Oh, but I don't think that 'impish' is strong enough of a word."
"Devious?" Cadence shook her head. "Devilish?" Cadence shook her head again. "Holy shit this is pretty evil." Cadence nodded and grinned evilly then left the room.
"What have I done?" Steel Blade was confused on what to do now. He just hoped nothing too bad would happen.
