Friendship is Magic: Part 1

"So then... so then I said," Celestia stuttered, her eyes glazed over.

"Yeah, what'd ya say?" Granny Smith asked pouring herself another mug of cider.

"I said, well I said."

The hilarious punchline to the princess's story was interrupted by a stream of smoke entering the room and turning into a scroll before falling to the floor in front of the duo. Celestia let out an un-princess like hiccup then proceeded to open and read the scroll. As she scanned the paper, her eyes narrowed, and she rolled her eyes.

"Has it really been one-thousand years already? Oh well, better respond in a very vague and secretive way."

Celestia managed to scribble some words onto parchment while keeping it legible. Spike wan't the brightest of dragons.

"Where is the Summer Sun Celebration this year?" Celestia asked.

"Ponyville ah think,"

Celestia waived a hoof dismissively as she chugged down another mug, "No, no, that can't be it. Why in Equestria would I have it there?"

"Ah'm pretty sure it's in Ponyville."

"Eh, sure why not."

Celestia finished her letter and sent it back to Spike with her magic.

"Well, this has been fun, but duty calls." Granny saluted to Celestia before she teleported Granny Smith back to Sweet Apple Acres.

She kept the rest of the cider though.

You always keep the cider.


Pinkie went running down the streets of Ponyville like a bat out of Tartarus. She zipped past ponies faster that you could say 'cupcake'. She just met a new pony, and that means it's party time! But there is no time!

She started to slow down when she was near the center of town and scanned the shops looking for one in particular. Pinkie burst through the doors of that one particular shop she was looking for. It had clocks lining the walls, but Pinkie just walked right on up to the stallion behind the counter.

Pinkie looked him right in the eye, "Doctor, I need to borrow your TARDIS."


Celestia was backstage, waiting for her grand entrance. She was putting on a little extra make-up, especially under her eyes.

"Ponyville, why did I pick Ponyville? I must have been drunk," Celestia argued with herself, "yeah, I was drunk."

She finished preparing herself just in time for an erie fog to appear behind her. That fog then materialized into a tall dark alicorn.

"Well, well, well, Celestia, we meet again," Nightmare Moon said.

"Luna, please, stop this childish behavior."

"LUNA IS GON- are you drunk?"

Celestia started to sweat and look around the room nervously, "Maybe... but enough of this- FREEZE RAY!"

A magical beam shot out of Celestia's horn, but Nightmare Moon was able to dodge it.

"Celestia, I would have thought that by now you would have learned not to say a spell before you cast it. It gives your opponent time to dodge."

A darker beam of magic shot out of Nightmare Moon's horn and nailed Celestia square in the muzzle.

"BANISHMENT SPELL!!!" Nightmare Moon sung.
