//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Celestia Dimwit // by GrimWolf //------------------------------// Celestia spent an hour rewriting rules in the throne room before her stomach rumbled. The princess then stopped writing and imagined a big white cake with strawberries on top. She licked her lips and exited the room. “I love cake, like everyone.” The mare princess stated as she went to the kitchen. The place was empty as she had ordered Raven to dismiss everyone earlier that night. Since she didn’t found any cake, the princess decided to make one. The pots, spoons and other kitchen utensils started to fly all over the place making a huge mess. After removing the bucket, Raven headed to the throne room, but heard the commotion in the kitchen. As she tried to enter the kitchen a magic paper appeared before her and she read it. “Rule # 123: all ponies in the castle must wear a spaghetti wig when entering the kitchen. Signs, Celestia.” The unicorn aide read. “But where would I find a Spaghetti wig?” Then without warning, a pound of cooked spaghetti materialized over Raven. The unicorn looked up and it fell over the head. After this, the magic paper vanished and she was able to enter the kitchen and found the princess using her magic while she giggled. “Princess! Please you are drooling!!” Raven stated immediately. Celestia continued gathering ingredients for the cake as she acted extremely silly. “This cake needs apples and oranges and bananas and ... trains. Trains? I like trains!! Choo Choo.” Raven tried to get Celestia’s attention. She ran toward the princess calling her name, but all the sudden, another magic paper appeared before her. She read the paper while peaking at the alicorn. “Rule # 39: Princess Celestia can’t be disturbed while playing, singing, eating or being busy; or else! Signed, Celestia.” Raven, tired of being stopped by Celestia’s decrees, goes around it. She approached the princess and observed her cooking. It looked more than a loony mixture of ingredients. Worried for the princess, she tried to make her react. “Princess don’t you think a daisy and rose salad in a lettuce bed would be more appropriate and healthy?” Raven interrupts Celestia. Without interrupting her ingredient mixing, the horn of Celestia started to glow. About 4 ounces of pink bubblegum appeared inside Raven’s mouth. Raven’s mouth could barely handle that amount of bubblegum so she paused as she tried to expel all the chewing gum from her mouth. “No, besides if daisy and rose are in bed where would lettuce sleep?” Celestia answered to the busy pony. Raven chewed desperate and soon noticed something wrong. The gum was sticky. She had gum between her teeth, the roof of her mouth, tongue and even lips and she couldn’t get rid of it. Her mouth was glued shut. Raven muffled desperate, but Celestia continued singing Pinkie Pie’s song, Cupcakes as she ignored her. “Hay bacon strips, hay bacon…” Then Celestia stopped and turned to the window. “Look raven I'm going to make magic.... puff now it's winter in the middle of the summer.” As the Alicorn princess said, it started snowing. Raven gulped worried even more. Then she noticed her coat changed to light pink color as another magic paper appeared informing: ‘Rule # 292: Everyone at the palace must wear pink in winter. Signed, Me!’ Raven noticed Celestia turned her own white fur into light pink, and then looked at the princess’ face showing a Dim-witted expression in all the extension of the term. The unicorn aide, smiled with her jaws fused in magic gum and slowly walked away from Celestia. She realized the princess was out of control and she couldn’t help Celestia by her own. Celestia turned to Raven and she stopped walking away. The princess galloped joyful toward Raven as the royal assistant hid her fear. Then Celestia gave raven a warm hug and exclaimed. “You are my best friend.” The oven dinged and Celestia ran back to open the door. A mix of half baked dough and fruits popped out the oven. The princess admired her creation and then turned to Raven. “Wanna bite?” The princess asked proudly. But there was no answer. Raven had already left the kitchen taking advantage of the princess distraction. Celestia didn’t care and simply shrugged, turned around and gave a big bite to her creation exclaiming “Yummy!” Raven rushed through the corridors of the palace around the bedrooms. She finally stopped at the end of the aisle before a huge dark door and opened it. She peeked inside and found a dark mare looking at herself through a mirror. “What is the meaning of this?!” The Mare exclaimed. It was Luna, she was disconcerted of the reason her attire had changed to pink. Aside she was floating a magic paper with the Rule # 292 written on it. Celestia’s sister noticed Raven and turned to her. “Raven! Are you responsible for this atrocity?” Luna asked with an intimidating tone. Raven muttered for a moment. Her mouth was still sealed with the magic gum. She then picked up a dark color lipstick with her magic horn and wrote on Luna’s Mirror: ‘CELESTIA’ The two Mares ran back through the castle corridors to the kitchen and found just a huge mess and foot splashed everywhere including the roof. Then another magic paper appeared before Luna and a bucket of spaghetti fell over her head. The paper had the Rule # 123 on it. “I command to end this insanity!” Luna exclaimed furious and then turned to Raven. “Where is my sister?” “Mphhh! Mph Mmmmhh!” Raven mumbled pointing toward the throne room. Both entered the throne room and found Celestia making a snow horse. The windows where opened and the floor near the windows was covered with snow. Celestia used her magic to create the head of the snow horse it resembled Derpy Hooves. Luna took a step forward and proclaimed while her horn glowed. “This has Discord written all over. I will stop the madness. I command you to change back to normal!” The room darkened and black clouds formed over Luna. A magic ray hit Celestia and engulfed her for a few seconds. The pink princess remained static for a moment. “Want to come out and play with me?” Celestia said in the same naïve tone. “My Magic didn’t work!” Luna proclaimed as soon as she saw Celestia dumb smile. Using her magic, Celestia casted a spell on her sister. Luna’s legs changed to rounded table legs and a crystal coat covered Luna’s horn. Immediately, the younger princess lost balance and fell down. Luna tried to stand up but she couldn’t even bend her legs. Every time she tried to stand up, a wooden sound clacked was emitted as soon as she touched the floor. She tried also to break the spell, but the crystal coat on her magic horn had nullified her magic. Unable to stand up, Luna turned to Raven and ordered her. “Run Raven and bring Twilight.” Raven escaped as fastest as she could. Celestia noticed this and turned to the escapee as she reached the door out. Fearing, Celestia could use her magic again, Luna used one of her pegged legs and hit Celestia below the knee. Celestia shouted in pain and turned to her trapped sister. “You broke Rule # 39 twice. You need time out.” Celestia stated as her horn glowed again. To be continued…
