You can't go around impersonating ponies!”

Star incredulously waved her off. “Pff… like, WHAT-ever. Ain’t ya ever heard of free speech?”

yeah freedom of speech doesn't cover identity theft, in the case of royalty that's treason to the crown and impersonating a royal, not too mention the situation she just put twilight in, she better hope twilight enjoys herself or else she is looking at having grandkids in prison.

What would Twilight do to Shining Star and that whole establishment afterwards?

7462123 Equestria seems to be an Enlightened Monarchy, with a heavier amount of focus apparently being on the well being and equality of the subjects than on the princesses themzelves. The princesses seem to serve the ponies, not vice versa.

IRL, Monarchy and Free Speech have never been mutual exclusives besides the most extreme examples.

I'm sincerely hoping there's a hefty amount of ass-kicking at the end of this story. This is just .... aaaargh, Star's attitude pisses me off immensely, especially when the Mare she is impersonating has asked nicely for her to stop, and kept on coming up with stupid reasons why she shouldn't.

That said, can't wait for the freak-out in the next chapter when the horn-dogs realize they've got the REAL Princess before them.
