With Mom and Dad downstairs and heavily occupied greeting and playing host to an array of important foreign dignitaries, and doing general grownup political things, it had come down to Celestia to give her foal sister a bath. The water was run, and just warm enough to be pleasant. It was a very large tub, completely filled with bubbles and floating toys of all shapes and sizes. Little Luna sat in the middle of all of it, amusing herself with a plastic boat.
"Vroom! Vroom!" Luna laughed, skidding the boat across the bubbles.
"Luna, boat's don't go vroom vroom," Celestia said gently. "Especially not sailboats."
"Dis one does!" Luna said. "So there."
Celestia sighed, and dumped another bucket of warm water over the foal's head. "Alright, you're all clean, it's gonna be time to put the toys and bubbles away," she said.
"Five more minutes!"
"No, not five more minutes," Celestia said. "You've been in the tub for an hour. It's time to get out." She reached into the bottom of the basin, and pulled the stopper from the drain, while the water level slowly began to lower.
"Alright now, you have until the water goes down. Be out of the tub before then, or you'll be sucked down the drain and nopony will ever see you ever again." Celestia smiled a bit, figuring that would get her out of the tub, and left the room temporarily to go get a towel.
Luna didn't believe it, at least she didn't want to believe it. She lowered her gaze onto the sinking surface of the water, and all seemed well at first. until before her eyes, as the water approached the bottom of the tub, a little whirling tornado appeared, making violent sucking sounds as it took the water down with it.
The filly screamed in terror, and bolted out of the tub, flinging bubbles and water everywhere.
Downstairs, their mother frowned a bit at the noise, but focused on her husband, who was in the middle of winning over the dignitaries with amusing anecdotes about Japanese golfers.
With a violent banshee like shriek, without any warning whatsoever, little Luna, completely naked, blazed through the middle of the scene with bubbles in her hair and fear in her eyes.
"I DON'T WANNA GET SUCKED DOWN!" She screamed, disappearing around the corner.
Mom turned bright red, and their father had completely frozen.
Celestia was framed at the top of the stairs, a towel levitating nearby. She was equally horrified, peering down at her foal sibling running wet and naked around the downstairs.
Their mother rose with fire in her eyes and silently moved towards the stairs, and Celestia dropped the towel and raced for her bedroom. The dignitaries eventually let out a sputtering of awkward laughter, and the father relaxed a bit, though the girls were still going to get grounded forever later on. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
Hilarious :D
Oh gods, too perfect!
I can just see that, it's so perfect!
Japanese Golfers.... I KNOW I have heard that somewhere before, but where?
Tai is a jerk
4575365 What the DEVIL have you done... you've just ruined the punchline of my Japanese golfer joke, boy!
While Tia was upstairs making no noise and pretending she doesn't exist.

Oh ye gods.... It's just come flooding back like an inadvisable midnight pizza upon waking up in the morning after a particularly heavy night. Book 2 wasn't it?
Theirs is a clothing optional society, they do not normally wear clothes. Being naked is normal in their world. The only time anyone wears clothes is at a fancy get together or in a formal setting. Which makes them being embarrassed by a filly's nudity all the more funny.
KBO.
4575661 The Equestria we know is ... a helluva lot can change over the course of time ...
4575780 So... when Celestia and Luna took power, Celestia decreed, "We shall all get nude and stay that way... unless we have somewhere classy to go."?
4575840 Not so much that as taboos gradually fading over the course of centuries.
4575840 I don't know. The Grand Galloping Gala was pretty classy and I'm pretty sure Princess Celestia showed up naked for that.
4576853 So did all the stallions, they only wore hats and collars with ties. But I suppose male fashion is not as popular as female fashion. The tyrannical gynarchy is always trying to repress the stallion.
Well that was close. Luna almost got sucked down that drain like that kind of thing happens all the time...Very cute little update.
How did I accidentally start a debate about the history ofpolitical nakedness? O.O
<3 Woona.
4680495 Actually I since I do all my editing myself, there are a lot of mistakes I miss. Neko has been a tremendous help and I value every one of his corrections, almost all of which are fixed immediately and I would never catch them without him.
Think about that before you call someone out whom you know nothing about on a story that isn't even yours.
I remember believing that I would get sucked down the drain Thanks mom
This was totally my brother when he was really little. He saw Rabbit get sucked down the drain in a Winnie the Pooh cartoon, and became terrified of the drain for a few years hence.
While questioning the validity of being 'naked' for a race that typically doesn't wear clothes, this is still pretty amusing. However, this does make me wonder just how tremendously small that castle must be.
Naked?!? Aren't they always naked?
Nooooo! Not the drain!
