Royalty can't have ''fun"
Cadance's Point Of View
I gulped as the cyan colored Pegasus neared towards the ground like a missile. Her multicolored mane becoming a blur just like her body, and her wings stuck out looking ready to carry her back up. The sky around her was cloudless and blue. Making it tricky to see her, doubled with the fact she was about to break the sound barrier.
Then came the boom. A ringing sound of an explosion rocked through the air. Followed by it was an array of light colored by the colors of a rainbow. The Sonic-Rainboom truly was.... beautiful. Like a rare five-leaf clover colored yellow. But, it would be more entertaining to try to attempt the move.
Rainbow Dash hovered over to the balcony where I was standing and started to talk, "Well Princess. What did you think?"
"A very beautiful performance, Miss Dash. But, how do you do it?" I asked with a nervous face.
"Practice, and just having the guts to fly downward. It feels really good when I break the sound barrier, I get this huge surge of energy and get faster and faster. Then I fly back upwards before I hit the ground," she explained.
"Theoretically, could an alicorn of my size do this move?"
"Sure. An alicorn would probably do it better, and move faster too."
"Really?!" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Yup. But, you aren't going to try this are you?"
"Of course not. I'm a princess and we don't get to do cool things."
"That stinks. I wanted to challenge you to a race. But looks like I can't," she yawned," I think i'm gonna take a nap. Later, Princess Cadence."
Rainbow Dash fluttered off of the balcony and rested on a nearby moving cloud. She nestled down and closed her eyes. Passing out on the spot.
I groaned unhappily and walked back inside of the castle. After making my way down some stairs I found myself in the throne room. I rested on the uncomfortable seat, and pouted down at the ground.
I really want to race against Rainbow Dash. Or maybe even try to out perform her by making an even stronger and larger Sonic Rainboom. I need to feel the wind moving against my mane and coat. The taste of excitement pumping through my blood like a harmless posion, powering me to move beyond the speed of sound. I need to go outside and fly. And dive down. I need to break the sound barrier.
My body needs the adrenaline. I want the adrenaline. I'm an adrenaline head.
"Sweetie what's wrong?" I heard my husband, Shining Armor, ask as he walked into the room.
Shining Armor approached me, and used his magic to levitate his helmet off. He had a smile on his face.
I replied, "Just a little.... bored."
"Really? You're bored? But you just saw a Sonic Rainboom a minute ago. Did you hate it?"
"I loved it. But I want to preform one too."
He raised an eyebrow, "But, you're a princess. You can't do anything fun. It's a taboo for royalty to enjoy their life."
"That's such a stupid rule. Who came up with it anyway?"
He placed a hoof on his chin and thought, "Last I checked it was King Sombra who made this law, and Princess Celestia signed the bill, making it a law affecting every royal in Equstria. "
"Why would Tia approve such a stupid decision?"
"She had a bad day. Prince Blue Blood kept slacking off and playing croquet instead of feeding the orphans. The law was to make sure he always did his work. Also, the reason Sombra even asked for such a law was to make his rule over the empire much more miserable for him, increasing his dark magic," he said with a dull tone.
My left eye twitched. I then said, "H-how does that work?"
"It's magic. It's as random and unpredictable as the lottery. Anyway, I better go back to my post. See you at dinner, sweetie," he waved. He blew me a kiss as he left the throne room.
I stared out the stain-glass window to my left. Just clear skies. Tons of space for me to glide around. My heart skipped a beat as I saw a bird fly by the window. I took a deep breath.
Rainbow Dash's Point Of View
"Hey. Rainbow Dash. Wake up," a voice whispered in my ear.
My eyes fluttered open. Princess Cadance hovered in front of me with a somewhat creepy smile on her face.
"What? Wait. I thought princesses can't have fun. Isn't this illegal?" I asked worried.
She used her horn to lift me off of my cloud, and opened my wings for me. I started to flap them by myself though.
"That's ok. I'm royalty. I am the law," she replied.
I raised an eyebrow.
"How about a race? From the castle to the edge of the empire," she asked while pointing a hoof to the end of the empire where the snow is visible.
Excited by this challenge. I nodded, and made my face show determination.
The race soon started when the pink alicorn took off without any warning. She was over a yard away from by the time I went after her. Cadence wasn't very fast, but she had a good head start.
I took off right after. Easily catching up the larger pony. She flew beside me with a grin on her face and both of her eyes were glued open. It seemed as if she was being taken over by something. Maybe she wanted to win really badly.
I ignored her, and focused on the race. I shifted my view forward; there was nothing ahed but air. Far away was the edge of the empire, where it lead to the snow filled area.
It seemed like it was going to be an easy victory for me. However, Cadance had sped up, and slammed into the right side of my body. I was knocked back a bit and quickly Cadance was already meters away.
With a shake of my body, I flapped my blue colored wings harder, and picked up more speed. I neared the princess and flapped my wings faster and faster. Soon I was flying right beside her.
She glared at me, and then slammed into the side of my body again. And once again I was knocked away, letting her get ahed of me. I tired to pull myself together but then something interesting happened.
There was the loud sound of a ringing boom. The sound I make whenever I preform the Sonic Rainboom. But instead of an array of rainbows filling the air. There was a wave of pink light blasting around me that blew me back.
Shaking my head and staying in the air. I realized that the princess had preformed her own version of the Sonic Rainboom.
"This isn't real......... she cheated. Hey! Crystal butt! You cheated! Get back here!" I shouted while flying after her.
Cadance's Point Of View
My eyes shot open. I felt a sharp pain in all of my hooves. I quickly realized what happened. I was in a full body cast. I lay uncomfortable on my bed.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and my husband came in followed by Rainbow Dash.
"Well well well. Look who deiced to wake up. Cheater," Rainbow Dash insulted.
"Sweetie. Why did you break the law and go racing? " my husband asked, ignoring the insult just thrown at me.
I replied, "I needed to have some fun. It's so boring just sitting in my throne doing nothing but vetoing bills."
"Well don't have fun ever again," he said harshly. He then walked out of the room, sticking his tongue at me right before he was out of reach.
I turned to face Rainbow Dash. I smiled sheepishly. She crossed her arms.
"Umm I want to know how this happened," I asked curiously.
She sighed,"Duh. Your husband had a shield spell up. And guess who crashed into it."
"Oh ok. And, i'm sorry I tackled you. Twice."
"It's ok. We were playing by street rules. So I don't care," she explained with a shrug.
I smiled in relief
"There's something you need to know," Rainbow Dash interrupted. "I saw your husband buying some stuff at the store when he heard that you broke the rules on fun."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Whoopee cushions, feathers, pies, rubber chickens, and a cannon. I think he's going to prank you."
I gulped.

Wait a minute isn't shining armor royalty now? Doesn't he have to follow the rules too?
Reign.
5527406 Uhhh thanks. Though that is the point.
It's magic. It's as random as the wether.
I think you meant weather, also...you do remember that it's the pegasi's job to CONTROL THE WEATHER?
I just don't even.
Why would they follow a law made by a tyrant they overthrew, especially one that they defeated through fun and high spirits? This plothole makes it pointless for something such as fun to be illegal for royalty. Now if you said Celestia made it up after a particularily horrid day dealing with other royalty... well this would be a totally different story
And as far as I know, Cadance has more authority than her husband, with him being a consort of hers, not a prince.
5527763 Wethers are unpredictable.
Wether- castrated sheep
I know that's not what he meant.
Is this supposed to be a parody or something?
5527928 Hm, Today I learned...
5527288 reagan angruy
head-cannon? Cadence has a skull-mounted artillery piece now?
5528121 Not angry, just pointing out a typo.
5528122 Uhh no. A head cannon is something you think belongs in the show's continuity.
Like: "My head cannon is that Twilight has OCD"
Unless you know what it is. And are just trolling me.
5528310 Thanks for pointing that out rage pants. (I kid I kid)
5528670
Canon is a type of dogma. Church canon says...
Cannon is a piece of artillery. The warship has five 106mm cannons.
So now that Cadance has broken the rules, I guess Shining Armor's gonna break it, too. This should be interesting....
Also, your story has a ton of errors that needs fixing, including spelling and commas. Here are the mistakes I found:
I took off afterwards, easily catching up to the larger pony. She flew beside me with a grin on her face and with both of her eyes wide open. She didn't even look at me.
I ignored her face and focused on the race. I turned my head forwards; there was nothing in front of me but air. (You seem to be having trouble placing commas where it isn't necessary or vice versa.)
Again, I was knocked away, allowing her to get ahead of me. I tried to pull myself together, but then, something interesting happened.
...filling the air, there was a wave of pink light blasting in front of me...
I laid uncomfortably on my bed. (Don't shift tenses. "Lay" is a present tense.)
"Well, well, well. Look who decided to wake up, cheater,"
This part sounds awkward. I suggest changing it to this:
"Then don't have fun ever again," he said harshly. "You just hurt yourself after trying to have 'fun' out there." He walked out of the room with a frown on his face.
5528792 Thanks for pointing out the typos and errors.
(cont'd from previous post)
I smiled sheepishly.
"Um, I want to know how this happened," I asked curiously.
"You crashed into the shield spell your husband had up. How else do you think he found out?" (Changing the quote completely is not necessary. It's just my suggestion, though.)
I smiled in relief.
"There's something you need to know," said Rainbow Dash. "I saw your husband buying some stuff at the store when he heard that you broke the rules on royalty." (This is just my version of how the story should come to an end, with Cadance being the first royalty to break the rules, causing other royalties to join in the fun. Since you're writing the series, however, you should decide with whatever quote best fits the ending scene.)
"Whoopee cushions, feathers, pies, rubber chickens, and a cannon. I think he's going to try and pull a prank on you."
That's all of the errors I found. With that said, good luck on your future works.
Let's see. We have:
- Misspelled character name (it's Cadance; but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one, as a LOT of people misspell her name)
- Ignorance of the difference between cannon and canon
- Misspelled "chronicles" in the story description
- Title has severe capitalization failure (unless that's intentional, which is permissible on a case-by-case basis)
Yyyyyeah not touching this.
5529588 Uhhh ok? You didn't have to say you wouldn't read it. Just, don't read it.
5529608 This was me pointing out that if you want people to read your story, you need to at least proofread the title and description.
5529652 Oh. Well I feel stupid
.
Anyway I fixed it now. So thank you, Mr.Moth. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5c/TT_killer_moth.jpg
5529588
Which is what I pointed out...
5530964 To be fair he was out right specific. I just thought you were poking fun at the word "head-canon".
5536561
I fail to see how you could draw that conclusion.
5536610 .............was that sarcasm?
5536751
No?

iambrony.steeph.tp-radio.de/mlp/gif/152386__UNOPT__safe_animated_princess-cadance_shining-armor_jackass.gif
5537616 Ptfft.
5537787 Yeah, I think I win the comment section.
I shifted my view forward; there was nothing ahed but air.
mispelled, its ahead.
5538603 thanks for pointing that out.
Nicely written, short, light-hearted story with two perspectives.
Interesting take. I may try it one day.
Possible errors to correct:
1. Followed by it was an array of light colored by the colors of a rainbow.
2. Use of the words "preform" and "ahed". There are more than one instance. Perhaps you meant "perform" and "ahead"?
3. "Why would Tia approve such a stupid decision?" - forgot to press TAB?
4. "Well well well. Look who deiced to wake up. Cheater," Rainbow Dash insulted.
