Prompt: Celestia is sick, now who's gonna rule Equestria while she recovers?


Title: The Ponyville Auditions!

“ATTENTION CITIZENS OF EQUESTRIA!” Luna spoke in the royal Canterlot voice. “OUR BELOVD SISTER AND YOUR PRINCESS, CELESTIA, HAD FALLEN ILL.”
“The horror, the horror!”
“AS SUCH, WE SHALL BE HOSTING AUDITIONS FOR THE NEW CO-RULER OF EQUESTRIA, UNTILL OUR SISTER IS FIT TO RESUME HER DUTIES! SHOULD ANYPONY BE INTERESTED, COME TO THE LIBRARY IN PONYVILLE! P.S no main characters allowed.”
“Aw come on!” Rainbow Dash lamented.
And so with Celestia’s faithful student Twilight Sparkle by her side, Princess Luna began hosting the very first Alicorn Auditions!
They did not go well!
*****
“Ok so Ms. Vinyl Scratch, why should you be chosen for the job?” Twilight inquired.
“Well I am a well respected DJ who promises to give everypony the night they deserve!” There was the sound of a single pair of hooves clapping outside.
“We would like for you to repeat the following phrase.” Luna said. “Hello my faithful subjects.” What resulted was several dozen bits worth of damage to the library’s book shelves. “Next!”
*****
“Now Derpy, if chosen what will you do to help the ponies of Equestria?”
“Muffins?” the pegasus responded.
Twilight and Luna both just looked at each-other for a moment. “We’ll be sure to stay in touch, Next!”
*****
“So Cloud Chaser, why should you be considered for the job?”
“If elected, I promise to eliminate all storm clouds!” She responded proudly.
Luna buried her head in her hooves. “But then we’ll have no rain.” Twilight said.
“Don’t worry, we don't need rain that much!”
“Next!”
*****
“Hello, my name is Doctor Whooves, and-“
“Next!”
“But-“
“NEXT!”
*****
“So Colgate, please repeat this sentence. Hello my faithful student.”
“Hello my faithful student, how about a checkup?”
Luna shook her head in shame. “Well she’s no Charlie Sheen, but I see some potential on her.”
Sighing Luna turned back to Colgate. “We thank you for your time. Next!”
*****
“Ok Bonbon, show us what you got.”
Suddenly the door burst open and Lyra ran inside. “It’s all a conspiracy! Humans are behind everything! I tell you this time I’m right!” She continued to scream as two guards escorted her out.
“Can we trouble you for a reschedule?” Luna asked. Bonbon gave a quick nod and then headed after her friend. 	
“Who’s next Twilight?”
“We still have half the population of Ponyville, plus all the ponies in the other towns. The next one should be in soon.”
“Wait!” Luna screamed. She reached down under their desk and pulled up a large mug of cider. Quickly she downed it and then turned to Twilight. “Ok, now we may proceed.”
