"Shouldn't I have a say in this?" Twilight asked.

"You did, it was considered but I've decided to go with this option instead." Celestia responded

"Upon my ascension you stated we were equals." stated Twilight.

"I did and we are equals" Celestia said affirming what she had previously publicly proclaimed.

"So how could you just blatantly overrule me?" Twilight accused.

"I did not just overrule you. I did consider you're ideas but I went with mine." Celestia said trying to calm Twilight down.

"Why then? Is Equestria not a land of equality. I thought you wanted less power not more!" retorted Twilight.

"I allow my little ponies to mostly govern themselves except in the gravest emergencies in which mine and Luna's power still supersede all others." Celestia replied calmly reminding Twilight of the standing practice.

"Luna is more you're equal than me. Was elevating me for nothing?" questioned Twilight.

"No! Your elevation grants you the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges that Luna and I have." answered Celestia.

"Could you please stop arguing already!" a third voice cut in. "This is not hard, we're on vacation and looking for dinner not which nation to not anger." growled Spike, the small dragon looking very annoyed at the antics of his family. "We're here to relax not draw attention."

The alicorns looked sheepish at being chastised by the dragon. "Right. Sorry." Both turned to face the dragon, "Right either we compromise" Twilight began. "Or we allow you to chose." finished Celestia.

"I'll choose" Spike answered, "I have a place in mind." as he began walking with the alicorns behind him.
