"I must admit," Luna said, wringing out her mane, "that did not entirely proceed as expected."

Celestia picked a piece of pondweed off her head and shook some water out of her wings.  "True.  We're no closer to learning which one of us Twilight is secretly in love with."

"We did, however, learn that she cares sufficiently to ensure our safety before departing."

Celestia nodded solemnly.  "And that when she panics, she gets very good at lateral thinking."

Luna nodded.  "That was quite a feat of magic."  She stepped carefully up the muddy riverbank to the park, and examined the scorch marks in the grass where Twilight had been standing before her flustered departure. 

A smile flitted past Celestia's lips.  "She is the princess of it."  The smile fell away from her muzzle as she looked toward the Canterlot Lower Business District, and she let out a long sigh.  "Public relations, however ..."

"They have insurance.  They will most likely take a bigger profit on their merchandise than if they had sold it.  If any still complain, simply tell them that complacency does the soul no favors."  

Celestia did laugh, then.  "That advice is very you, sister."

"Thank you, I think."  Luna touched a wet hoof to her sister's shoulder.  "Shall I contact the weather team to re-divert the river back to its proper course?"

"No," Celestia said.  "The least we can do is fix that ourselves."
