//------------------------------// // Prank War day 1 // Story: Foal Adventures. // by Super-Stallion //------------------------------// It was mid day in Canterlot as Celestia sat down for her lunch brake from the day’s hard task, and this day had been one of the worst, first her shampoo had been switched with Luna’s, turning her hair into the night sky, which at first gave her a shock but with a quick spell her mane was back to normal. Celestia then went to breakfast and it didn’t take much to figure out who was behind the little prank but smiled as she looked at her beloved little sister. After breakfast she went to her throne for the day court and as she entered the nobles stood up and bowed before her as she made her way to the throne, as regal and as magnificent as always she turned to her court and bid them to take their seats so they could start the day’s business as she sat down and let a fart, or rather what could be miss construed as a fart, as she used her magic she levitated a whoopee cushion in front of her and only rolled her eyes and smiled. The day went on like this, as Celestia found the little pranks pulled where harmless if not pathetic and each time just thought it was Luna trying to rekindle the fun they used to have when they were foals. ‘I’ll have to make a little more time this evening for Luna, she must miss the time we used to spend together.’ Celestia thought, as she finished her lunch and was about to leave when two maids walked in caring a large sheet cake, with a night filled sky as the theme, and a letter on the top. “What is all this?” “It was Princess Luna your majesty she requested that we make this cake for you, to try and boost your spirits she said you might be feeling a little down around this time.” one of the maids said, as she bowed before Celestia. “Well thank you.” with that Celestia sat back down noticing a letter in the center of the cake. “You may go.” with that the maids left and Celestia sat back down and levitated the letter in front of her and opened it up. “To my beloved sister; I know today has been rather hard, and I know that we are older and should hold our selves with more dignity and that my pranks have been childish, but I wish to tell you that I only wished to try and get back that feeling we used to share when we where foals. I know I’m not the best sister in the world, and I know that I haven’t been the best princess, but I just so badly wish that you might see it in your heart to forgive me for my past miss deeds and allow me the chance to make you proud of me once more. Love your silly little sister Luna.” Celestia read the note and a tear started to run down her face as she folded it carefully and set it aside. ‘Oh Luna, I’ve always been proud of you.’ Celestia thought to her self as well as making a mental note that she was most certainly be trying to spend more time with Luna. Then she noticed it, in the center of the cake, it had been covered by the letter, in the middle of the night sky field was a lone white icing rose. One of Celestia’s favorite flowers, and as she looked at it, it almost seem to be taunting her, as she tried to make since of why Luna would put such a thing in the center of the cake, but as she thought back to the letter she smiled then quickly looked around, noting that no one else was in the room she leaned in close and sniffed the flower. The aroma was lovely Luna had gone the extra step to add artificial scent to this one little piece. “She did go through all this effort one little taste couldn’t hurt.” Celestia said, as she levitated the little icing flower off the cake and put it in her mouth. Oh the reaction she got from it, it was so surprising, so unexpected, and she never dreamed that such a thing could ever be. She also never dreamed the cake she was leaning over would snap shut like a book encasing her entire head in it. “Oh course she knows this means war.” That evening at supper Luna smiled as she nursed Nightmare Moon and watched as Sly happily lapped as a bowl of milk. “You know I do wonder if you get more milk in your mouth then on your face.” Luna said, as she looked at Sly who stopped for a moment only to lick his lips wag his tail and go in for more milk. Luna only smiled as she looked at Celestia who nursing Blueblood. “Tell me Sister how was your day?” “Very surprising.” “Did you enjoy some cake today?” Luna asked, with a smirk getting Celestia to scowl slightly. “Yes I did, and I wish to thank you for such a nice treat.” “Thank nothing of it sister.” “Oh but I insist, Tomorrow I believe we should start trying to give each other little gifts.” “Then tomorrow we shall.” “But only for 1 week, we do not wish to have our subjects’ thing any less of us.” “Of course.” a few moments later Nightmare Moon and Sly sat in their crib looking at the stars when Sly looked at Nightmare Moon and nudged her slightly. “Big sis.” “Yes wittwe broder?” “I’m confused by what mommy and other big pony talked about at supper.” “They’re going to have a prank war starting tomorrow.” “Oh, what’s a pwank?” “A joke you play on some pony.” “Oh, will they be funny?” “Maybe.” with that Sly laid down and curled up close to Nightmare Moon who smiled and laid down as she draped one of her wings over him to keep him warm. “Sweet dream wittwe brother.” Nightmare Moon said as she nuzzled Sly a few times before yawning and drifting off to dream land. It was 00:01 in the morning when the first prank was pulled; Luna was walking down the hall heading for Nightmare Moon and Sly’s room when she walked past a long thin cane. “Strange I don’t recall seeing this before.” Luna said, as she approached the cane and noticed a sign on it. “Property of Princess Celestia Do not touch or face the penalty of the six.” Luna read out and then scoffed at the sign as she rolled her eyes. “Oh sister it has been ages since we’ve had our prank wars but tell me this is not the best you can do.” with that Luna knocked the cane over and continued on her path to Nightmare Moon and Sly’s room when she heard a swishing sound followed by what seemed to been a thousand little needles sticking her at the same time in the flank as she jumped and yelped in pain she turned around to find no pony behind her, again the swish and again the sensation to her flank, she yelped again and glared behind her only to find once again nothing there, as the swishing sound came again she spun around in just enough time to be struck in the head by the cane sending her backwards screaming in pain as she covered her face. As she got up to run she was pursued by the enchanted item still trying to swing as her flank only missing as she was just out of reach. ’I’ll get you for this Celestia.’ Luna thought to herself as she ran into her room and slammed the door behind her. ’Oh am I going to get you for this one.’ “Discord!” “Yes my lady?” “I have an idea for a prank, but I’m going to need your help.” “Oh do dish.” Discord appeared on Luna’s bed dressed in a nightgown with his hair up in curls. “Well here is what I have in mind.” as Luna started to explain her plan, a smile slowly crossed his face. The following morning Celestia woke up and was on her hoofs knowing that Luna would most likely try something after her prank on her that morning, but as breakfast came and went with no trouble, and her morning bath was as calming as always, and as Luna retired for the day Celestia smiled. ‘Perhaps it’ll be a calm day after all.’ As Celestia walked into the throne room for the start of the day court she couldn’t help but feel as is something was different, but as she looked around she didn’t really seem to notice anything but for some reason she knew that something was different about her court. As she took the throne she sat down and smiled. “Let us begin.” Celestia said, as she smiled at her court but was then bombarded with a storm of cream pies thrown at her from every member of her court, leaving Celestia shocked and speechless as she looked at her court. It was then that she noticed it; all the ponies attending the court where wearing glasses, and then she thought back to an article she had skimmed over during breakfast, Pie Discord day. As Celestia levitated one of the pairs of glasses to her followed by a mirror she looked at her self in the mirror with the glasses and could see what had just transpired, before her wasn’t a pie covered version of her self but of Discord. It was then that she started to hear gasp and whispers starting to emerge from her court as she levitated the glasses of her face and then looked at the members of her court now in shock to find out that they had just assaulted her. “It’s alright my subjects, it seems your glasses have all been tampered with, everything is forgiven. But if you will excuse me I’ll need to freshen up a bit.” Celestia walked to her private bath chambers and washed her self clean of any remaining pie splattered on her. As she started to head back she smiled as she heard giggling coming from the foal play room and decided she would stick her head in to see how everything was going, but as she walked in she found two foals and a fox sitting behind little catapults with pies. “FIRE!” Nightmare Moon yelled getting the three to fire their catapults and hit Celestia in the face among other areas, as she cleaned her face with her magic she noticed that all three had glasses on. “Weload and fire again.” “I don’t think so little ones.” Celestia said, as she used her magic and removed their glasses getting Blueblood to gasp and Sly to look at her confused, while Nightmare Moon fell backwards laughing at the sight. “Yes, yes laugh it up I’m not angry seems Luna has pulled a pretty good prank on me today.” Celestia explained as she walked over to a small wash room and started to clean her face while Sly looked at the glasses now laying of the floor. “Alright your 3 I don’t want any trouble today.” “Yes mommy.” Blueblood said, as Celestia nuzzled him and then Sly who rolled over and laughed as she tickled his tummy, but as she tried to get close to nightmare moon the little filly moved away from her. ‘Oh dear sweet little moon wont you ever let me show you that I care?’ Celestia question as she looked at Nightmare Moon then turned and left, once she did she was greeted by Kit standing at the door, and the two started to walk down the hall together. Back in the play room Sly carried a pair of glasses to Nightmare moon and set them down hopping she could answer his question. “Big sister?” Sly tapped Nightmare Moon several times getting her to turn and smile at him. “I’m confused.” “What are you confused about.” “Why aunty Celestia look normal in your glasses and not in the ones me and cousin Blueblood was wearing?” with that Nightmare Moon blushed slightly as she laughed and then hugged Sly. “Oh the spell must have worn off, come on let’s play.” the three little ones started to play while else where in the castle Celestia had just finished explaining things to Kit. “Alright so you sent that summons for me because Luna seems to have gotten so much better at pranks since the last time you two had a prank war.” “Yes and I was hopping you might be able to help me with a few pranks here and there just to even the playing field a little.” “Sorry I’m not getting involved unless one of the little ones are in danger of getting hurt, I’d just prefer to watch the train wreck not be on the train so to speak.” with that Celestia seemed slightly defeated, by this news, as it took a lot for her to admit that she might need help in the prank war, in the old days she would just turn to his trusted friends star swirled just as Luna would turn to one of her few friends to help. “Come now Celestia you already have a pretty good prankster for a friend.” “I would ask Philomena but she is kind of involved now a days.” with that Kit nodded and then smiled slightly. “Just tell her Discord is on Luna’s side.” with that Celestia’s head snapped to Kit’s direction in shock. “Are you serious, my sister has enrolled Discord as a companion in this war?” “LEMON MERINGUE!!” Discord swung from a painting dressed like Rufio from Hook smashed a pie in Celestia’s face and then absorbed into a stain glass window on the other side of the hall. Kit looked at Celestia and took a taste of the pie that was now dripping from her face. “Not bad.” Celestia’s head snapped to Kit’s direction, as she glared at him with a look that could melt a hole through solid stone, getting Kit to stop tasting the remains of the pie on her face. “I mean who was that masked fool.” Kit pointed at the window and looked away from the currently very angry Celestia. “He wasn’t wearing a mask, and you know who it was, now I’m going to ask you again, will you aid me in this time of war?” “No I think I’m good.” Kit kept his back turned on Celestia, but he could still feel the stare on his back. “Look at me Kit.” “No I’m good just admiring the pretty window.” “Kit give me one good reason you’re not going to help me.” “If I took away a chance for Philomena to get Discord back she would never forgive me.” Celestia didn’t respond at first and all Kit heard was the sound of her hoof steps walking away. “Oh thank the multi-verse.” Kit said as he let out the breath he didn’t know he was holding then looked at the window. “Coconut cream Discord, isn’t that just a little played out.” Discord’s head emerged in the window as he looked at Kit with a smile.
