"Hey Twilight. Hey Princess Luna. Crazy party!" Spike strolled up to the Princesses carrying a large fan.
"SPIKEY!" Twilight yelled!
"Where are you doing? I mean, going?"
"We're going to play a trick on somepony REEEEAAALY important. Where ya going with the fan?"
"Oh, Rarity wanted her fan so I went to go get it for her."
"Aw, Spike. You are so sweet!"
"Yeah I know."
"Welp, we're off to Canterlot. Bye!" Twilight and Luna whizzed through the air bumping into each other. Spike continued back to the barn.
At the barn Spike has just returned from Rarity's home. He soon went to work fanning the already well-pampered pony. Rainbow Dash and Applejack came back into the barn as well. The two ponies were smiling and speaking softly to each other.
"Yoohoo! Ladies!" Rarity waved to them from across the room. Rainbow Dash and Applejack walked over to her and Spike.
"Girls, if I may speak so candidly, I am truly, ever so happy for the both of you." Rarity said as the two blushed a bright apple red.
"And if you girls are looking for a third wheel for a little Ménage à trois, I would be more than happy to offer my hoof in that."
"A what?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Oh don't be so modest, Dashie! I mean I have always thought about a wayward escapade in romantic embraces with Applejack but after watching her with you, I certainly wouldn't mind giving you a try."
Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at each other and blushed. They were embarrassed that somepony watched their romp and play. To lighten the mood Applejack nudged Rainbow Dash. Rainbow smiled and returned the gesture.
"Oooh you two are just adorable. Well, do think about it, dears."
Soon Fluttershy came in rolling Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie still had issues walking. They stopped at the refreshments table. The rest of the party guests came over to join them.
"Hey Fluttershy. Hey Pinkie Pie," Applejack greeted. "Where have y'all been at all this time?"
"Oh just hangin' around town," Fluttershy replied as she poured the last two cups of punch for herself and Pinkie Pie.
"No we weren't, Flutter Butters," Pinkie corrected. "We fell asleep outside. Which was weird because that's a weird place to sleep, except if you're camping. But we weren't. Fluttershy was singing at the moon. Then I scared her and it was a hoot! I fell backwards laughing and then I forget the rest."
"Oh yeah," Fluttershy added. "I totally forgot. I totally passed out after she scared me, girls. It was scary. I think I fainted."
"Hey where's Twilight?" Rainbow asked.
"Princess Luna is not here either," Rarity said.
"Oh they went to Canterlot," Spike shared.
"Canterlot? Whatever for?"
"Idunno…" Spike continued fanning Rarity. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Well what do we do now?" Rainbow Dash said as she began to hover.
"We're out of Spike's delicious punch." Pinkie Pie said. "And two of our party goers are missing. It is my duty as Ponyville's Party Pony to make sure each party member is accounted for and beaming smiles all party long. I suggest we take this party on the road to Canterlot and find our friends!"
Everypony cheered at Pinkie Pie's arousing decree.
"Onward party ponies," Pinkie said as she pointed out the door and then dropping to the floor. Fluttershy quickly started rolling her. The ponies traveled to the Train Station to catch the late train to Canterlot.
Meanwhile, the two Princess where approaching Canterlot. They clumsily floated down to the perch of Luna's tower of their castle. Twilight soon began sneaking out of Princess Luna Chambers and crept through the corridors.
"Twilight-" Luna said.
"Shhhh, we gotta be quiet!"
"Okay," Luna whispered, humoring her. "But you are aware that I live here, right?"
Twilight stopped and realized just how ridiculous she appeared. "Oops. I knew that. Wow what's the matter with me?"
"Don't worry about it," Luna said. "Let us just get to my sister's chambers."
The two princesses reached the chambers of Celestia. Two guards stood posted by her door. Twilight stopped at the sight of them but Luna continued to progress.
"Hello boys," she greeted.
"Princess Luna. Princess Purple Smart," the left guard alerted.
"That's Princess Twilight Sparkle, ya dingus," the right guard corrected. "Excuse him, your majesties. He is a new recruit."
"Well, this won't do," Luna scorned. "You have embarrassed Princess Twilight Sparkle and disgraced our presence. I demand that this be rectified immediately. Where is your commanding officer?"
"Please, your majesty. We both already have two strikes. One more strike and we would be demoted to bathroom duty," the right guard pleaded.
"It was my fault, entirely, your majesty," the left guard interrupted. "I am still learning. Please punish me and spare my fellow guard."
The two guards bowed to Luna not daring to look up at her. Luna took this time to wink at Twilight who smiled and chuckled.
"You caught me in a gracious mood. I will pardon this transgression if you agree to help us with a little prank."
The too guards looked at each other in confusion.
"I need you two to guard my chambers until further notice. If anyone asks, inform them that you were ordered to do so by me. Do you understand what I'm asking of you?"
"Yes, your highness," the two saluted. They both started to Luna's chambers. Princess Celestia's door was now unguarded.
Princess Luna began to hover slowly into her sister's room. Twilight followed suit. Princess Celestia was asleep in her bed. Luna and Twilight hovered over her.
"So how are we gonna do this?" Twilight whispered.
"I don't know," Luna whispered back. "This is your idea, after all."
Twilight then thought of an idea and whispered it into her ear. Luna began to control Twilight's body. She positioned her carefully in front on Princess Celestia's muzzle. Twilight then quietly counted to her self.
"3-2-1... HEY! KISS MY BUTT!"
Celestia woke up, surprised but enraged. The castle began to shake as Princess Celestia started to hover. She became engulfed in a bright light and her mane burned a fiery reddish orange.
"What's happening?" Twilight said.
"Surprise!" Luna shouted. "Gotcha!"
"What?"
"This is an enchantment spell for protection placed on our crowns. If an intruder creeps into our room while we're asleep it will use our power to attack them until they are vanquished or until we gain control. Celestia is a deep sleeper so if I were you, I would run."
Luna vanished leaving Twilight alone with the enraged Sun Princess. Twilight quickly flew from her chambers. She was still dizzy but was able to fly through the corridors without crashing into anything. She successfully made it to the main foyer where she can leave the castle but crashed into unsuspecting guests. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Spike were entering the castle just as Twilight was about to escape.
"What in tarnation?" Applejack said getting up. "Twilight? What's all the ruckus fer?"
"I think it might have something to do with that," Spike said pointing behind Applejack.
Princess Celestia caught up with Twilight and the others. Pinkie Pie shrieked at the sight of the powerful alicorn. She grabbed the canteen Twilight still had with her and threw it at Celestia. Celestia quickly sliced a wave of energy at the canteen, splitting it open. The little bit of punch that was left in there splashed on Celestia's face. She quickly regained consciousness.
"Wha- What's happening? What is the meaning of this?" Princess Celestia queried. She tasted the punch that was dripping from her face. "Oh my goodness."
Princess Luna reappeared in the foyer as well. She noticed she reappeared facing away from them. She laughed and turned around facing the other ponies.
"Salutations, sister sun," Luna said bowing to her and laughing. The others began to laugh as well, even Twilight.
"It looks like all of you are affected."
"Affected? What do you mean?" Twilight questioned. "Wait. Before that, I want to apologize for that prank. It was an effort to learn dark magic from Princess Luna. I wanted to do something bad so that I could learn it. But I know now I shouldn't use the ones I care about to get something I want."
"I need to apologize as well." Luna added. "It is true. I was telling her of how to become a dark magic user. But in order to do that she would need to tap into her dark side. She pulled the prank on me and thought doing it to you might be good enough. Me knowing about our crown magic, I deliberately decided not tell her of that as revenge for pranking me. I was wrong for doing that to both of you. Revenge is something that grants no true rewards and putting friends at risk for it is not right."
"Well I'm glad to hear what you've learned and I forgive you, both," Celestia started. "But I need to let you know that all of you are under a spell."
"A spell?" Fluttershy repeated.
"Princess Celestia, sweetie," Rarity swayed. "I beg your pardon. I'm absolutely fine. Surely, you're imagining things."
"Rarity," Applejack hushed as she took off her hat. "But she does have point, yer majesty. We're peachier than peach on the beach."
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash butted. "We're a beach on the peach."
"Dude," Pinkie Pie said still laying on the floor. "I'm so fucking wasted!"
"Everyone, listen," Princess Celestia said. "This isn't exactly a normal spell. It really isn't a spell at all. You've all have consumed alcohol. You're drunk. Taken by the spirits as some would call it."
The ponies all looked at each other in confusion.
"I do not understand," Luna said. "I would've known of a spell like this."
"Well, like I've said this isn't a spell, Celestia replied. "I can taste the Crystal bowl enchantment. This is the only way you can hide the bitter taste and odor of alcohol. I have eliminated every means of it being made or distributed in Equestria because-"
"Because you were an alcoholic!" said a mysterious but familiar voice. Once said, Celestia blushed beet red.
"S-SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!" Celestia bellowed.
A hovering bottle appeared and began pouring onto ground a multicolored liquid. The liquid formed into Discord.
