Twilight stared in horror at the pages before her. “Daring Do and the Lost Treasure of Igrofnkovhghprm” was far from being as good as Rainbow Dash had led her to believe. But how could she politely tell her friend how she felt? She’s seen clopographic movies with a better story.
“Twi, you’ve been really quiet for a few minutes. Is there something wrong?” the cyan pegasus frowned. She’d never written anything before, but she was proud of her work. She was certain that Twilight would find it great too.
“So what do you think?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well...it’s...Oh! You know who would love to see this?”
“Who?”
“Princess Luna! She’s recently started reading the Daring Do series herself!”
“Wow, cool! I bet she’ll love it!”
“Spike, take a letter.” The baby dragon groggily rose from his bed, grabbing quill and parchment. “Dear Princess Luna, I know how much you’re enjoying the Daring Do series, and my friend Rainbow Dash has written her first fanfic based on the series! Enclosed is a copy of her story. We are both eagerly awaiting your response. Your loyal subject, Twilight Sparkle.”
“It’s not often that you send letters to Princess Luna.” Spike said as he was handed the pages of Rainbow Dash’s fanfic. He took a deep breath, and the flames engulfed the letter and the story, disappearing out the window with a puff of green flame.
A few hours had passed since the letter was sent. Twilight was starting to worry about Luna. Her mental state was still a bit fractured from her imprisonment, but she had improved so much. Twilight hoped she didn’t cause Luna to lose progress on recovering.
Then again, she had also sent the letter during the daytime. She wasn’t entirely certain how the princesses handled their duties. When she was still being taught by Celestia, the goddess of the sun often seemed tired due to handling both transitions. Maybe Luna was only awake at night. If that was the case, she should be waking up around now. The sun’s almost set.
Storm clouds started to form over Ponyville. “What the? There isn’t supposed to be a storm in Ponyville for another week!” Rainbow Dash looked upwards, towards a descending shadow.
“Princess Luna! You’ve come to visit us personally! Did you re-” Twilight Sparkle was cut off by the commanding voice.
“SILENCE, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!”
“Princess, we talked about this. You don’t need to use the Royal Canterlot Voice anymore.”
“NAY, FOR THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DECREE FROM YOUR PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!”
A wide grin appeared on Rainbow Dash’s face. “Twilight, she must have liked it so much that she wants everypony to read it!”
“CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE! BY ORDER OF THE ROYAL COURT OF CANTERLOT, THE PEGASUS KNOWN AS RAINBOW DASH SHALL NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO PEN NARRATIVES OF ANY FORM! THAT IS ALL!”
As the form of Luna disappeared into the rising moon, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle stood there, their mouths agape.
“Did...Did she just...?” the pegasus was too stunned to finish her sentence.
“I think...she just...You know what? Let’s forget this whole thing ever happened. Except the part where you’re not allowed to write stories anymore. You should probably remember that part.”
