//------------------------------// // The Attempts // Story: The Secret Diary of Princess Celestia // by The Isapie //------------------------------// Entry 6 Dear Diary, Mummy and Daddy are really, really busy. There was an assassination attempt, something or other. If it weren't for Mister Chives, Lulu, Triton and I would probably have died. Some bad ponies came to the castle, pretending to be visitors from another pony civilization. They asked to see our chambers, and then one of them wanted to go to the loo, so daddy took him there, and then one of the earth ponies turned into a unicorn and blasted mummy with a spell! She got frozed. If that makes sense. Then, the bad ponies turned on Lulu, Triton and I. We were playing Box Kingdom and the Sea Monster. Triton made a very good Sea Monster. One of the bad ponies charged his horn and was about to blast me when Mister Chives kinda attacked him. He's so brave and so nice. He got hurt pretty bad, but Mummy says he'll be fine. When Mister Chives attacked the bad ponies, Daddy heard him and locked the other pony in the bathroom. Then he came and locked the other bad ponies up too. Good thing he did. Mister Chives probably would have died too. He had some really bad spells put on him. He's in the infirmary now. I wrote him a thank you card and a get well soon card. I really hope he can get better soon so he can make us flour bombs for Box Kingdom. He's always the best at making flour bombs. His don't fall apart when you throw them, but the moment they hit anything, all you see is a cloud of white. Mummy and Daddy made Mister Chives a Knight of the highest rank for saving Triton, Lulu, Mummy and I, and for protecting the royals at the cost of a lot of really, really serious injuries. I gotta go make another get-well-soon card for Mister Chives! Or is that Sir Chives now? Bye! Tia Solar Entry 7 Dear Diary, I ran into Triton today, delivering cookies to everyone in the castle. Chef made a new batch of chocolate chip cookies, all buttery and hot. I ate three before Chef turned around to scold me for eating them. I asked Chef if I could send them to all the castle staff and everyone else, and she said if I could do it before the chips solidified, then I could. Anyways, Triton was reading a book when I bumped into him- something about an underwater society called Atlantis that once belonged to his daddy, but was now free. I spilled some of the cookies, but then he apologized and helped me pick them up. For once, I am very grateful that the castle staff swab the deck every hour. And if there's a party or something, they sweep it every fifteen minutes and swab it every half an hour. So, I delivered the rest of the cookies to them- and Triton helped me! By the time we got to the staff, the chocolate chips were almost solidified, so I cast a quick spell on them so that they'd melt again. So technically, I did deliver all the cookies before the chips hardened. Tomorrow's a new day for me, Diary. Mummy's hired a new tutor for me, to teach me a new language called "New Equuish." Our current language is Standard Equuish, but a lot of ponies speak New Equuish, and Mummy says that if I want to rule Equestria someday, I need to know how to speak to all my ponies. I'm going to sleep now. Mummy will yell at me if I stay up any longer. Love, Tia Solar
