An Orderly Transfer of Power

Appendix: The Lasting Legacy of the Second Reign

APPENDIX: The Lasting Legacy of the Second Reign, and the Rise of the Triumverate

By request of several historians I have included the following documents from the period immediately following the Second Reign of Princess Twilight Sparkle as sole ruler of Equestria. Although the main collection of documents covers sufficient of the reign itself for ponies to understand the mechanisms behind its rise and fall, it has been pointed out by several that the collection presents the appearance of being incomplete. For those ponies, this supplement has been provided.

And for Discord, who keeps messing with these precious records of history, I can only say, "Bleem miserable venchit! Bleem forever mestinglish asunder frapt."

Dear Moondancer,

Four days! I can't believe I slept four days!! And I'm still drowsy!

Thank you for sending me the transcript of the debate with Princess Celestia. I'm sorry to say I don't remember a word of it. In fact, I don't remember anything at all from the last three weeks, except that I might have drafted a law that mandates banishment to Tartarus for any pony who damages a library book.

But I've read Princess Celestia's letter, and she's right. I wasn't prepared for the responsibility I took on when I overthrew her. I shouldn't have tried to shoulder the whole burden of government myself. I trusted my friends to help at first, but I thought that, once the emergency was past, it was the princess's job to do everything herself. I see now that I was wrong, and I'm very grateful to Celestia for giving me the chance to learn that lesson.

Mr. Week has asked me to tell him how I constructed Fort Libris, but I honestly don't remember. Since you helped dismantle it, you'd know more about it than I do.

Anyway, thank you for helping me during my short reign, and for helping keep me from doing anything worse than I did. I hope your time as Copyist to the Crown helps you on your resume!

Have to go now- I'm having tea with my new neighbor, Mr. Harvey Notanowlbear. He seems like a nice, friendly person! I'd almost swear I'd met him before somewhere. Maybe he just has that kind of beak.

Your dear friend,
Twilight Sparkle

Twilight,

Enclosed find a letter I found near the throne while we were cleaning up the last of Fort Libris. (The moat spell was a problem.)

You really, really need to read this.

In the past two days Mr. Working Week has received sixty-three applications for rebellion. Parliament won't repeal the law, since twenty-two of the applications come from MPs or lords. I could just declare it so, but that would anger the ponies, and more than half of the applicants would just come on with whatever forces they have.

What are your terms of surrender?

Your chagrined and contrite teacher,

I am pleased to report that all but four of the application for rebellion have been withdrawn. I have scheduled two of the rebellions already, though Mr. Sombra's and Mrs. Chrysalis's present puzzlers for scheduling.

The first scheduled rebellion is Princess Luna's, for three weeks from tomorrow.

Your most humble servant,
Working Week

Don't worry. With Celestia and I sharing the burdens of ruling, the remaining rebellions should be no problem!

Bring it on, Luna!

From: Celestia, Royal Palace, Canterlot

Actually, if you'll check the fine print of Amendment C to the 1008 Take A Break Darn It Act, you'll notice that the vacation entitlement is retroactive. Leaving aside the seven weeks of your recent solo rule, that gives me 3,993 weeks of vacation time due, and by law I am required to take a minimum of two weeks of it immediately.

This is my two-weeks-in-advance notice that I am taking six months' accumulated vacation time. In case of emergency I can be found gleaming the tube at Muleokai.

Surf's up!

Celestia

From: Twilight Sparkle, Friendship Castle, Ponyville

Well... shoot.

Author's Note:

And that really IS all for this story!

Remember, don't take this bit of randomness too seriously.

And sorry, but as much as Celestia deserves some comeuppance, she's had over a thousand more years' experience at this sort of thing than Twilight.

Comments

[Kris Overstreet]

8024245 Yeah, if this were in any way a serious story, I'd agree with you. But someone, I forget who, once said that all comedy has a little sadism involved in it. Or to quote Mel Brooks: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

I wouldn't write Celestia this way in a more serious story, but my point here was to be as silly as possible with the concept of Twilight overthrowing Celestia. (And now, with the appendix, Twilight does it twice.)

[Georg]

Hm, counting days makes Luna's mandatory vacation upcoming too, but since a challenger withdrawing from the rebellion can appoint an equal as her/his alternate, I really expect Princess Luna to appoint Princess (wait for it) Twilight, thus leaving Twilight facing off against Twilight.

"Have at thee!" declared Princess Twilight Sparkle at the top of her lungs. There was a brief pause as she trudged over to the other end of the field, turned around, and responded.

"If that's the way you want it, I shall ensure your defeat!" Then Twilight trudged back across the field of battle for her next line.

"Dear?" said Night Light, looking a little worried while sitting next to his wife in the Distinguished Guests section. "I really don't recall this kind of behavior in any of my relatives."

[Kris Overstreet]

8024326 Luna had a thousand years Time Out on the moon, and thus legally not in office. So she's only racked up vacation time for the previous few years. I was tempted to have her join Celestia anyway, but I decided it weakened the ending joke too much.

[Seether00]

Does Cadence get a vacation? She must have been too busy with the baby to bother with all this.

[FanOfMostEverything]

I read the Sunday funnies on the radio for those children who can't get the newspaper, so Sunday is out.

I immediately like this guy.

Truly, Twilight's revenge was swift and terrible. And like most quickly executed plans, not thought out entirely. Thank you again for what may be the most perfect usurping Purplesmart possible.

[Kris Overstreet]

8024367 The real Fiorello LaGuardia actually did that during the Great Depression. It's part of what made him one of New York City's greatest mayors (and one of the most ruthless and effective politicians in the history of anything).

[Sunny]

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to pull one over on Sun Horse.

And since Sun Horse is the one who makes it morning, good luck pulling that off.

[Neoarcad]

This is perhaps the best story I've read off the front page in... ages. Top hole.

That revenge. Banishing Celestia would be easy. Make her ADMIT DEFEAT? You need guts to do that. Bravo Twily, bravo!

[nobody dreamer]

Yeah, the student hasn't quite surpassed the teacher yet at the trolling. Those other rebellions though. I wish we could have seen Sunset's rebellion. And too bad the CMC already have their Cutie Marks (wonder what a government overthrow Cutie Mark would look like). Actually, its funny to think that Celestia is still outdoing Twilight at the bureaucratic game, considering books are usually Twilight's thing, but that's an extra thousand years of experience for you.

If the random tag wasn't there, I'd find Trollestia more annoying, but as the focus here is more on Twilight's freakout (Remember Fort Libris!), I don't mind so much. And most of the other cast is somewhat sane, unlike some other random fics where one sane person is annoyed by how insane everything else is. Now if anypony threatened the Royal Cake Repository, then I'd expect Celestia to get serious.

So does anypony actually know what the law reform contains? Can anypony actually make it all the way through or could Twilight just keep sneaking extra things in toward the end like Old Man Henderson's back story to win arguments?

There's a lot that can happen in six months. So many laws that could impact so many things... We know Equestria's premier desert competition is in Canterlot. Why not make it Ponyville instead?

I'm sorry, but what bullshit! Celestia risked the Mane Six's lives, got Twilight's wing broken and baited her into taking over Equestria. She then practically drove Twilight insane (she knew this is how Twilight would manage things and don't tell me she didn't have something to do with all the monster attacks). Then she comes back when Twilight's public reputation is ruined, pulls the Doctor Who ploy and takes power back. Leaving Twilight hated by the populace and mentally ruinded. And why? Because she didn't want to do a budget...

Fuck you Celestia!

I am amazed that Twilight is still associating at all with Celestia. If I were her I would have recinded my royal title and got a job as Ponyvilles librarian and respond to all of Celestia's letters with

Fuck off!
TS

FI get this was meant to be a comedy story but I can't help but feel terrible for Twilight. She was used, she was abused, and Celestia doesn't deserve her friendship or service.

[Kris Overstreet]

8028706 True. This simply would not have worked as a serious story, nor as a story that didn't focus on fanon interpretations of the two main characters (Trollestia and OCD Sparkle).

[Kris Overstreet]

8028706 Also, I didn't make it clear in the story, but the populace don't hate her, as such. They feel sorry for her.

Come to think of it, that's worse.

[meerkat8472]

8028761 Well yes it is worse but are you sure they don't hate her. They unanimously voted against her at the debate? But whether or not it's dislike or pity, the fact is that nopony is going to be happy with her ruling ever again. And again I will say this, all because Celestia didn't want to do a budget.... Sorry but this story just makes me angry.

[Kris Overstreet]

8028768 I wrote it, so I'm sure, but I didn't put the detail into the story (except to mention the graffiti), so you, the readers, can't really know it. And I wouldn't jam it in now, because it would klunk.

But there's no problem with you being angry on Twilight's behalf. I freely admit that Celestia's conduct was pretty shoddy to her.

As for nopony ever being happy with Twilight ruling ever again? Consider how many ponies, how quickly, she got lined up to challenge Celestia? Granted certain of them would have challenged Celestia anyway, but there were a lot of ponies who could have told Twilight to go get bucked, and yet they didn't.

[meerkat8472]

8028789 This is true I suppose. The part that gets me is how Twilight can even be forgiving enough to work with her in a triarchy at all.

[Kris Overstreet]

8028864 The Power of Friendship.

And the fact that, at the time, Twilight thought it was a win condition.

[Pinklestia]

8028706

Celestia is very very lucky Twilight didn't go Darkside, sealed every other fucking alicorn away then brought a thousand years of terror.

Because Twilight Sparkle, she was the most powerful unicorn Celestia had ever seen and that was BEFORE she became an alicorn!

We are talking about a mare who went nuts just because she couldn't write a friendship report!

Really Celestia only plot armor prevented you from having the WORST ENDING EVER, AND THEN EXPLODING TWICE!

[meerkat8472]

8028943 Agreed.

[Fistfire]

This has to be one of the cleverest fics out there. Well thought out and funny rainbowlaugh::

You get a like, a fav and a

[book_burner]

8029326 Naaaah, this was perfect Trollestia . I love how even the social reform implemented at the end involving vacation time means she gets to fuck off and take a break.

A good story where both sides of the argument had valid points. Kudos. Better luck next time Twilight!
