Celestia sat in her private screening room, the lights already dimmed in preparation for the show to start.  She leaned back in her plush chair and looked over at Cadance, where the younger princess was tapping her horn to her drink.

“Re-chilling it again?”  Celestia lifted her own cup and checked the ice content.  Most of the cubes still remained.  “Where is everyone?  The premiere is in less than five minutes.”

Cadance took a test sip of her drink and smiled when she found it to her liking.  She relaxed in her own seat and shrugged.  “I’m not sure, honestly.  Luna said she and Twilight had something planned for dinner for all of us while we watched it.  I assume they’ll be here soon.”

The words had barely left her mouth when the door opened and long trolley topped with a chromed serving lid entered.  The trolley was being pushed by Luna herself and she quickly parked it in front of all of their chairs.  Luna glanced up at the clock and grinned, lifting the covered serving tray off the trolley and onto a low table.  “Huzzah!  Beat the clock!”

“Only just.”  Celestia pointed out.  “Where is Twilight?  The show is about to start, and you know she’ll want to tell us about all the mistakes and bloopers as they happen.”

“Or how the animators managed to draw her ponysona’s ass bigger by half a pixel or something.”  Cadance offered with a giggle.

“Ladies,”  Luna cautioned, “let us not throw stones.  She’s an alicorn now, just as we are, and a more plump posterior comes with the power.”  She slapped a palm hard against her hip.  “None of us can fault her, or those that create representations of Twilight, for displaying that.  Besides, it’s one of my favorite qualities she possesses.”

“Can we please stop talking about my butt like I’m not here?”

The three Princesses all looked at the serving dish, only two of them doing so in surprise.  Luna chuckled and lifted the lid, revealing one Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, ‘children’s’ TV star and the luckiest mare alive, naked and covered in an assortment of sushi.  She was surrounded by all the trimmings, dipping sauces, fresh ginger, wasabi and three color-coded sets of chopsticks.

Luna set the lid aside and took her seat, the overhead lights dimming further and the huge projection on the opposite wall came life.  “Twilight’s Special Premiere Surprise Dinner is served!  Grab your chopsticks and dig in.”

Cadance blinked, but she was the first to take the offered sticks and pluck a piece of nigiri from Twilight’s belly.  “So...what’s this all about?”

“You know how stressed I get when a new season starts.  I needed something to help me relax.”

“And the breathing exercise I taught you wasn’t enough?”  Cadance dipped her sushi into a small bowl of soy sauce.  “If I wasn’t so tickled over this—and getting free food out of it—I might be upset about that.”

“Oh stop, Cady.”  Celestia took up her white chopsticks and some sashimi off of Twilight’s thigh.  “Twilight was obviously under a lot of stress making sure everything went right.”  She nodded to Twilight.  “Isn’t that right?”

“Well...yeah.  Now that it’s out for the world to see, I can finally kick back and relax some.”  She glanced at the TV where her pony-self was just setting down in the hot-air balloon during the opening sequence.  “Plus, you’ve been here without me for the last six months while I did voice overs and promos and all the meet and greets with the show’s fans.  I wanted to show you all that I missed you all very much during that time.”

“That is quite admirable of you, Twilight”  Luna leaned over the prone Princess.  “Thinking of our feelings...our cravings...first, rather than basking in your rightly deserved fame.”  She pinched a roll that sat on top of Twilight’s proud chest, causing Twilight to squirm.

Celestia giggled and took another piece of sashimi from Twilight’s body.  “So what happens when the show is over and we’re out of food?”

“I get a bath.”

Celestia chuckled again.  “Only if the three of us are invited.”

Luna nodded.  “It HAS been a long six months without you.”

“And we’re always hungry again, an hour after eating sushi.”  Cadance added with a leer, uncovering more of the Princess while a tale of ponies and ideologies played out on the screen.
