I like cats and ponies cuz they are fluffy! Come and talk if you want, I won't bite.
It all started with a simple question. A simple, innocent question. Who could have guessed that it would lead to uncovering one of the deepest, darkest secrets in Equestria? Certainly not Pinkie, who must now face the ramifications of her curiosity, due to a question better left unanswered.
Why do we only speak Equestrian?

Very nice.
It would be funny if Starswirld called Celestia and Luna Spör and Blerb.
Some things would happen, that's for sure

Sequel: "That time Canterlot was destroyed and rebuild"
...The most worrying thing here is that Celestia keeps fuzzy fun time hoof cuffs that match the Mane Six's colors just lying around.
8591620 Ah, but they didn't rebuild it, and that is why there's a ruined castle in the middle of the forest.
This was a nice read. :)
...... this was........ wat...... what was this?
8592031
Maybe it's my craziness manifesting itself as words. 
I don't know.

8592010
Aah, I see.

No but for real had this been a real conspiracy cover up story? This'd be a good one.
"Why do we all speak Equestrian?"
"Nopony tried to build a Tower of Babel here, so Pony God had no need to smite us."
"Ohhhhhhhh! That makes sense!"
Actually, Breezies DID speak their own language. Only Seabreeze could speak 'Equish' competently, and he learned it from ponies.

And I think the reason for that is because Fluttershy converse with them normally, since she can understand them just fine. Well spotted. 
Dang, that's right! I forgot that's how it went.
8592217 I am a terror when it comes to details.
You should have seen the treatise I did during one discussion on why the Eagles could not have safely taken the One Ring to Orodruin in Mordor.
And then Mattpatt made the same points on his Filmtheory series last week! Of course, he also went into the Silmarillion and the REALLY deep lore of Middle Earth, while I just stuck arguments I could construct from the novels most people would be familiar with.
It was okay.
Author's note really helped me to understand a lot.
👍

Best author's notes I have ever written.

I think I didn't spot that because I remember them more from this:
I will admit, I was a little worried when I saw that Horror tag, but I am definitely glad I took the time to read this story. It was a lot of fun, portraying the cheerful and irreverent Celestia that we all like to see. Good show.

Every time I thought I had it figured out where this story was going to go, it swerved the other way.

Wonder what would happen if dash asked. You know she couldn't keep her nose out of it after seeing Pinkie in that state.

A second chapter was in the plannings, but we deemed it too naughty for any mortal to comprehend and not suffer some naughtiness related side effect, so it is not happening in the near future.
8595355
What do you mean by... “we”?
8598445
Technically it was just me who decided that, but anyway. 
Me and another person?
8599154
So, Who is the other... “person”?
8599854
I'll let you puzzle that one out for yourself.
8599154
Yes. Yes, you did. I almost said something, but decided to let the joke ride.
8599854
He has multiple personalities, obviously.
8599960
*Starts puzzling*
8600205
Ah! Okay.
8599154
May I talk to Other TrixterCat?
8600376
You are allowed to try. Results are not guaranteed.
8600393
Hello? Other Trixter? Are you there?
...
...
*Takes deep breath*
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!?!?!?

I think he does.
8600420
Hmm...
Hello???
...
HeLlO?¿?
...
HELLO!?!?
...
ARE YOU THERE OTHER TRIXTER!?!?
...
*Pulls out megaphone*
OTHER TRIXTER! THIS IS THE PUH-LICE! WE HATH YOU SURROUNDED!!!

HOW
DARE
HE!?
Technically, the Hippogryphs DID leave. They hid underwater. They claim it's because of the Storm King, but we can pretend Celestia did it. She was just desperate enough in the movie to ask the others to find them, even if it meant having those ridiculous names back. I can imagine Princess Skystar totally giving Celestia a silly name and thinking it's awesome.
8724441
Heh, that could work.
Actually, it makes a LOT of sense in the context of the movie.
1. The Hippogryphs lived above surface and only hid underwater when the Storm King came.
2. They lived on an island across the sea from Badlands, which is consistent with them leaving said badlands by sail.
3. Celestia told to find Hippogryphs when she realized that Storm King took over all of Equestria and its surroundings. Why did she even think that Hippogryphs weren't attacked yet, hm? Maybe because she knew that they sailed far enough off the continent that no one heard of them lately, thus Storm King probably didn't even know about them?
4. Why nopony heard of them lately, by the way? There was some info on them in a book out in the badlands, but nowhere in Equestria. Touchy subject, maybe?
5. And why "Go south beyond the Badlands!" was the most precise directions Celestia managed to give? Maybe she was short on time. Or maybe she didn't even know anything more?
6. Celestia was telling Luna where to search for Hippogryphs, meaning she didn't know. Which means that they probably moved some time after the Nightmare Moon incident...
7. The Queen of Hippogryphs wasn't too eager to save ponies, was she? I wonder why...
All in all, I think you've busted Hasbro's conspiracy!!!

Death?? Destruction?? Untold amounts of pain?? *horrified gasp*
*deadpan*Oh...*eyes widen* Wait...the TICKLE?!
Nooooo!!! Not that!!!! Anything but that!!!! Pinkie Pie, I am so sorry for the torture you are about to endure!!!
This was the most hilarious tale ever!!! Lol! Loved every second...including the moment I was positive Celestia was going to blast her tto the moon or some horrible thing like that.
But seriously? The tickle??
That's just major level cruel, dude. Major level cruel.

This was just plumb funny.
Zecora spoke a different language. So did the breezies.
Also in this context, it would probably be better to use “everycreature” instead of “everypony.” Just an observation.
Besides those nitpicks, this was a really cool story!
Oh, dear. Don't you know it's possible to die from laughing due to fatigue and the strain on your body?
Was Twilight scared to answer Pinkie because Celestia silenced her as well?
11329671
Who knows... Twilight does have an inquisitive mind, and she does like to read all sorts of old books and scrolls.
But it would be very Celestia like to do that to Twilight too~
11330116
Yeah Celestia is probably just looking for any excuse!
