Twilight Gets a Puppy

Epilogue
[Earlier that day]
Princess Celestia, co ruler of Equestria, Goddess of the Sun, known by what few enemies she had left around as The Solar Flare, let out a small sigh and sat back in her throne regarding her Day Court, ignoring the faint squelch her thrones cushion made as she moved.
The throne room was filled with about a two foot of water, enough to lap lightly against the top stair of her raised dais. It had a faintly musty and muddy odor as if it was from a pond. She herself was soaked to the bone and had a large fish, that resembled some sort of koi perhaps, impaled upon her horn still flopping about wildly with it's tail slapping the top of her head.
A number of her petitioners were still seated on the wooden benches that rested in the court, remaining much as they had been before the message spell arrived. It was as if they expected court to continue shortly. A few bored noble foals had turned one of the benches into a makeshift canoe and were paddling it around the room.
A few other petitioners were looking on with interest at the goings on of the rest of the court. Fancy Pants was standing in the water drenched along side his wife Fluer de lis who looked far less amused at having her dress and mane ruined by the water, but given she was splashing Fancy every time he looked away and pretending to remain upset about her mane when he looked at her to throw off suspicion, spoke volumes about her true amusement.
Prince Blueblood was standing on the other side of the aisle watching the foals paddle past him with a bit of envy, though he remained stoic in his stance as if expecting this all to be cleared up in a moment or two so the court could continue, though Celestia doubted he would have any issues if she called it short. Some annoying appearances needed to be kept up.
The real entertainment came from some of the other petitioners. Curio Duster, from the Canterlot Museum, for instance was trying his best to remove a particularly insistent group of minnows out of his pant leg and was doing a rather entertaining attempt at a line dance routine while doing so.
Jet Set, a random if annoying noble, was currently running around the room screaming and being chased by a pair of Guards who were hot on the tail of a ornery snapping turtle who was latched onto the noble stallion's tail.
Midnight Star, a reporter for some gossip magazine or another, was currently screaming about, 'having seen enough Japony theater to know where this was going', while she was fighting off a particularly large squid which had grappled her and two other Guards who were trying to save the mare.
Diamond Hope, a noble heiress, was currently clinging to one of the pillars in the room trying to keep above the water and the plethora of frogs that had started swimming under her, likely attracted by the multitude of feathery scales in her current dress, which to Celestia looked much like little beetles or butterflies.
Princess Celestia let out a small sigh as the main doors were opened finally and the flood of water rushed out into the Royal hallways knocking over the Guards who had tried to get in. It also pulled out out a number of other ponies and fish, as well as the three foals on the bench who let out shouts of joy as their canoe turned into a log flume and raced down the hall on a wave of water, with their parents and some more Guards rushing after to try and catch them.
Celestia spared a glance over to her assistant Flowery Text who had somehow managed to avoid getting soaked at all, though she was also hovering a bit off of the ground behind the throne.
“Flowery.”
“Yes Princess?”
“Is Luna asleep?”
“Yes Princess.”
“Have any of the statues in the Gardens moved?”
“Not that any one is aware of Princess.”
“ I see. Schedule some time free for me later in the week, I would like to visit Ponyville, my student specifically.”
“Of course Princess.”Flowery jotted down the note on her clipboard. “Should I inform the treasury that they will be needing an increase in their disaster funding again?”
Flowery looked over at the small slightly crooked grin on the Princess's face before sighing.
“That will be a yes then.”
Welp. Twilight is fked
Yeeeeeeeessssss join the prank side!
As is true with a lot of things, the best pranks are the ones that happen by accident.
well they doom

She is bring Philomena next time isn't she.
SEE!! This is why I need to go to Saddle Arabia immediately!
I'm cool though.
Okay, THESE kids I LIKE!
And it looks like I'm not necessarily the only one.
Water Park rides are FAR SUPERIOR to any other kinds!
HILARIOUS CHAPTER and waiting for more
This was glorious! (Funnily, on my first read-through, I didn't catch that it was foals in the pew-canoe, which led to a different mental image.) Well done on the variety of specific, individual, events going on in that scene; it truly added to the sense of chaos.
Okay, that was just AMAZING!! <3
This made me laugh harder than it should.
This was fun to read
*specifically (not specificity)
Lol nice
This entire chapter is amazing. Every paragraph a barrel of laughs.
Welp good thing no insurance companies are involved.. instant disclaimer and deniability time since it was caused by a princess no disaster took place sorry about your luck
HehehehehehhahahahahahaHAhahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I had such a wide grin of laughter and amusement by the end of this.
The Fish on Celestia’s Horn was really set me off laughing, the squid bit was even funnier.
8897129 Well considering how the scrolls arrive a fish on her horn isn't a surprise. Probably more or a surprise more didn't end up there.
I wonder if anyone got a picture of the throne room during this...
Caught up, disturbed my roommate at least several times while binge-reading with my laughter, and that's one amazing place to stop.
We're going to need a bigger box, express mail services, and fake IDs and mustaches.

8898212
Yes some one got the pony name pun.
8898259
I personally find Neighpon to be the superior pun to Japony.
Had to be tentacles. Huh?
Another overall fun chapter, slow start,but the end was awesome, as well as some great running gags throughout. Anyway, notes.
"You can't just ask some pony why they are white" Ummm...wha? How, how does that matter at all to them?
Emo Mac...... I must learn more about this phase.
Okay, love the addition of the trap, great idea Spike.
How generous of you Spike, offering to take all those gems you added for them all to eat they don't want to eat.
PLEASE let that trap still be there when Babs Seed comes around!
Smart pigs, knowing to avoid those four. Poor poor Dolly, she never looked at noodles the same again.
Tugging taffy out of their fur and eating it...... at once.. OOOOWWWWW!!! and EWWWWWW!!!!!!
"You set fire to the pond." GO SPIKE!
Plan Delta Sigma..... freaking love the running joke!
Also, Wet Mane Celestia? ALL THE YES!
3-D Scrabble. I actually remember that being a real game, kind of. Basic scrabble game, but you could put your letters over top of other ones to change them if needed.
Twi getting mailed around town..... I just... I.. seriously I love this joke!
Sure, Equus is doomed.... but it'll be the second most funnest apocalypse ever! (The funnest is if Pinkie Pie ever becomes an Alicorn.)
So.. odd quirk I noted, Sweetiebelle rather then Sweetie Belle. Granted, I prefer that to the ones that cram in "Rarity Belle" like it's some type of family name despite this never being a convention and outright being impossible to be one for most ponies, with only a few explicit exceptions that are all Earth Ponies.
Yeah... yeah... Spike is a natural Roadie, I can't fault that logic.
Ship her to Big Mac..... yes please! Just for his reaction!
"Yer not using power tools are you?" Still one of the best lines of the first season, so glad it stayed in.
Rahs? What are you doing feeling out that tree? (Part 3)
Yeah, Rahs.... you can't say no to Fluttershy. And, as above, first few chapters were fun but, just, alright. Fun, solid, but mostly just recapping the same thing with a few new jokes. Watching Rahs deal with the Talent show... that knocked it over the top and I LOVED IT! Trully, the worst fate of a true thespian.
Wow.... that DT and SS bit... I can fully believe that would happen.
Spike being prepared like a true Roadie.
Headbanging Fluttershy the Metal expert...... I like it.
Of course Fluttershy liked an act with bunnies.
Derpy broke the grammar! Go Derp! (Part 4)
Also, wow, you managed to make Derpy slowly back away with no idea what is going on. Good job Twilight. Oh sorry, I mean "Nightpain the Totally Not a Pony!"
And the joke ends on a freaking awesome note. Just, again, I freaking loved the whole running gag here.
Seriously story..... Neighpon works so much better and sounds a lot less forced the Japony
Log Flume? HELL YES!
How you know Trollestia is not to be fucked with, they have emergency disaster relief funds ready for the collateral damage of her pranks.
So yeah, fun, all around solid arc. First bits were just, good, and nice additions to the show, latter half was hilarious.
Heh. Random nobles paddling in a makeshift canoe, and fleur de lis splashing fancy pants had my lolling.
“I know who you are. I know where you live.
I will look for you.
I WILL find you...
and then...
i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/356/743/e68.png
I will prank you.”
Yep...definitely no place for them to run.
They’re floofed.

They are so hugging floofed it ain't even funny.
9508196
Then why am I laughing?
I had this thought of Celestia sending all the water back through dragon fire. Poor Spike. This was side splitting hilarious. They're soo borked.
This chapter alone could be standing on its own and earning thousands of likes
this is how I imagine Celestia's smile at the end

I love this bit.
Make your bets, because this prank for prank will be glorious
What is the limit of Spike message flame? He sure has a impressive set of lungs to get that all at once send to Celestia.
If Spike could send that mutch at once, why not send Villains straight to Tarterus. Having a major Villain suckered like that would be quite hilarious.
