New Batteries for Celestia

by Thunder Song


Queen in the Royal Horse-pital!

Celestia was in hospital, and Luna had the palace to herself, as Cadence was on a trip with Shining Armour to Canterlot.

Clip Clop Clip Clop! The news pony was here. Luna walked to the door and picked up the newspaper and read:

QUEEN IN THE ROYAL HORSE-PITAL!
By Ink Heart, Celebrity Correspondent for the Pony Times.

‘Really?’ thought Luna. Ink Heart’s humour was terrible. She continued reading:

The Queen of the Sun, Queen Celestia, is in hospital after a kitchen coffee catastrophe! She got her hair caught in the fan, broke two coffee machines and finally, she hit her hoof on her horn! Princess Luna, once the terrible Nightmare Moon, showed her kindness by waking up Celestia after she fainted with the espresso Celestia originally desired.

Luna scowled when she read the sentence about Nightmare Moon. Would the Pony Times ever let her forget her past? She scanned the front page for anything interesting. A small box labelled:

FAUST TO COME BACK SUNDAY, CONFIRMS SPOKESPONY!

caught her eye. She squinted at the miniature box and read:

A spokespony for Miss Lauren Faust also known as Great Quill is coming home this Sunday (Tomorrow)! Ponies will be delighted, including Queen Celestia of the Sun who needs a new ethereal wind for her mane.

Luna beamed. Now Celestia would have her mane ‘fixed’, and Twilight and Cadence could get ethereal winds for their manes!
