You'll Be Back

by Jade Ring

Ten Years Later

AT LONG LAST...
Canterlot Officially Joins the U.N.

Tens of thousands cheered as Princess Celestia finally raised the flag of Canterlot City in the Plaza of Unity, joining the flags of thirty seven other nations. After thirty five years of holding out, Canterlot's joining of the United Nations marks the official end, in the hearts and minds of many, of the terrible conflict that gave rise to the United States of Equestria.

"This is a moment long in the making." A glowing President Spike told the press at a conference after the flag-raising ceremony. "As someone who has known Princess Celestia since my earliest days, it is personally heart-warming to see her join the rest of us in this new age of peace and prosperity."

"This is only the first step in healing old wounds." Princess Celestia herself admitted in her own press conference, her sister beaming at her side. "The next, as I understand it, will be welcoming an ambassador to Canterlot. I have already made the request that it be my old student Twilight Sparkle. She and I have much to catch up on."

Twilight Sparkle could not be reached for comment as she is currently in the midst of planning her next presidential campaign.

Yes, I totally see Twilight never giving up on her dream of the top spot.

XD FUCKING WIN

[psvitafanboy222]

Oh... I guess my comment on the last chapter doesn't really work anymore...

[Brony Soprano]

7238368 Once she wants something...

Perhaps she and Celestia could have a chat about giving up on long-held delusions?

[Iron Comet]

7240295 Perhaps, or Twilight running for President with Celestia as VP.

[Brony Soprano]

7240381 That would be interesting to see. Celestia suddenly finds herself back in government, though not like before, and she's second fiddle to her beloved former student.

[Iron Comet]

7240401 or even more fun, Twilight gets a single term and is replaced by her sister Luna! Could you imagine Celestia having to play second fiddle to her younger sister?

[Brony Soprano]

7240569 Both would irritate her, but she would at least have her closest friends back.

Most of all I just want to figure out who would most likely parallel Hamilton himself in this crossover. But this was a great piece of writing! Celestia at first seemed a bit comically out of character to try and fit the role of King George, but by the end of it I feel like I kind of got it? Incredibly old and incredibly set in her ways, all that. Loved it, 10/10

7397336 Glad you enjoyed it.

As to parallels, if AJ = Washington and Twilight = Adams, then I suppose... Sunset or Starlight?

[ArtieStroke]

I am 100000% here for Sunset "I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot" Shimmer with Starlight "Everybody's Favorite Fighting Former Villain" Glimmer.

Reformed villains- we get the job done!

[Jade Ring]

7400422 I was envisioning Rarity as Lafayette, but that works so much better.

[ArtieStroke]

Ahh, but you see- Rarity fits the role of Hercules Mulligan, and on multiple levels: skilled tailor, easily fits into British/Canterlot society, excellent at acquiring information/secrets in a sometimes investigative way, etc

So I read this story, and enjoyed it very much. It made me chuckle, both with the allusions to the source material, the references to the real world, and the way MLP tied these ideas together.

And then I sat here thinking... and I did a thing. That thing may have been coming up with my casting of Hamilton using MLP characters.

Alexander Hamilton - Rainbow Dash Aaron Burr - Lightning Dust
John Laurens - Gilda Marquis de Lafayette - Spike
Hercules Mulligan - Rarity George Washington - Applejack
Angelica Schuyler- Sunset Shimmer Eliza Schuyler- Fluttershy
Peggy Schuyler- Pinkie Pie Thomas Jefferson - Twilight Sparkle
James Madison - Starlight Glimmer Maria Reynolds - Suri Polomare
Philip Hamilton - Scootaloo Samuel Seabury- Prince Blueblood
King George - Discord Charles Lee - Trixie Lulamoon

I may have a problem. Or I may have just been bored.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[Sarehh]

I WILL SEND A FULLY ARMED BATTALION

TO REMIND YOU OF MY LOVE

DA DA DA DA DA

[Zaphireflies]

God freaking Henry Clay! So good at those Compromises, but never stood a chance at President, did she.

[Cheese Legs]

You should make another chapter that takes place in 100-200 years later.

[PresentPerfect]

Part 3 made me laugh, so you get an upvote, but only just. <.<

[DashMaster]

7484934
YES, YES, YES, AND YES! 10/10 PERFECT!

Alexander Hamilton - Rainbow Dash
Eliza Schuyler- Fluttershy

At least Celestia has a happier ending then King George, who went mad and was stripped of his power.

"What? 200 years later and I still haven't won a single term as President!?"

"It's no big deal, Twilight."

"No big deal!? At this point, I'm the most experienced candidate, and I'm still losing in the poles!"

"Ah, about that..."

"Don't tell me Luna is running again..."

"Aha! You thought it was Luna, but is was I, Celestia!"

"Oh, thank Faust! Maybe I'll have a shot this time!"

"That... wasn't the response I was expecting..."
