Dear Princess Celestia,
How do you do it? I can't handle this whole 'court' thing at all! All these ponies are coming in asking for totally illogical things! Like for instance, Carrot Top wanted me to declare every Thursday 'National Carrot Day', where everyone would be forced to eat carrots for dinner. Or how Snips and Snails thought I should ban school so they wouldn't have to take a test.
I'm seriously at the end of my rope here. Any advice?
Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle.
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
Why not try asking your friends for help? You are the Council of Friendship, after all.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I did try asking them for help, only they all made it worse! Would you believe that Rarity actually agreed with Amethyst Star that it should be mandatory for ponies to wear gemstones every day? Not only did I have to turn Amethyst down, but I also had to argue with Rarity for half an hour about why I turned her down.
Or how about when Pinkie thought that the Crusaders' request for bits so they could buy proper skydiving equipment was a great idea? There are so many possible results of that scheme and none of them are good!
So asking my friends for help is out. Any more advice?
Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle.
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
You think you have it bad? I have to listen to snobbish nobles drone on and on about how I should lower their taxes and raise taxes for commoners because they're 'of noble blood' and 'so much better than the common pony'. At least your subjects will take no for an answer.
They also insist upon lecturing me about how I should choose their spoiled filly or colt for my next student, or how I should grant them funds to construct a new private country club or something of that nature. Honestly, I envy your position.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have an idea.
Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle.
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
Do go on.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I, Princess Twilight Sparkle, do hereby propose to adjourn the Friendship Court and Solar Court on this day of Saturday, and all such Saturdays forth. Do you agree with this motion?
Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle.
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
I hereby approve this motion. Court is adjourned.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia.
