Bonus- the Notes
“What is the origin of the sun and moon, respectively?!” yelled a frustrated Luna, standing before her sister, who sat glumly at a borrowed academy desk, enlarged to fit her.
“Pass.” Said the tired Day Princess glumly.
“What three sources of magic are available to conventional ponies, and what are their differences?” The lunar diarch was swiftly losing patience.
“Pass.”
“From where do Griffons originally hail?!”she hollered at her.
Again, another bored sounding “Pass.”
“No!” exclaimed Luna, having had enough of her sisters’ attitude. “Thou canst not simply ‘pass’ every question presented to thee!” she fell to her haunches in exasperation. “Tia, how is it possible that thou hath run the greatest nation in the free world WITH NO INFORMATIVE RETENTION AT ALL?!!”
“Easy.” Replied the elder sister, seeming quite proud of the coming answer. “All I have to do is raise the sun and moon, smile and look pretty, and delegate like a sonuvabitch. You’d be surprised what you can get away with passing off, looking as hot as me.”
“Okay, sister, here’s the million bit question.” Luna growled moodily. “How dids’t thou teach Twilight Sparkle, easily the most fastidious mare in the free world, anything at all?”
“Meh,” Celestia shrugged it off, “I always had the book right there in my mane the whole time. I swear, I could fit an entire pony in there.” Luna merely groaned in resignation. A few moments of silence passed before Celestia said “So, I hear Spike thinks you’re hot? Wonder how he’d react to m-E!!” Luna tackled her sister, forcing her back into the seat she had somehow migrated away from, and tying her to it. “Luna!” she exclaimed in indignation. “What do you think you’re doing?!”
“We shall make an honest mare of thee yet, sister.” Luna smiled a big evil smile at her, making the elder sister very nervous indeed. “We shall sit here, and we shall review in full the proper way to organize a flow chart.”
Celestia felt her milky white coat go just a tad paler. She gathered what bluster she could to say “I can send you right back to the moon, you know!”
Luna flicked her tail derisively. “Fine.” She said smugly. “But thou shalt have perfect study habits before we go.” Celestia groaned and flopped her head to the face of the desk.
