Chapter 5: The Order
Monday.
She lets out a groan as she punches in a number of orders to Amazon. She’s been so busy these last few days, she’s a millionaire already… and has hardly been in Equestria for two weeks!
Of course, Princess Celestia is planning on stopping by today. She heard from somepony who heard from their brother who heard from the Guard who heard from his brother who heard from the Manehattan City Council that heard from… She’s not sure from there, but the information is indisputable. If only because she asked the local Princess.
Ten minutes after her door is closed, she hears a distinctive crash just outside- then her door shudders. She steps towards it, preparing her magic for a fight as she pops the latch.
Discord falls in, and promptly hits the floor with a crash, struggling with something she can’t see. She blinks, relaxing her magic. “Oh hey. How’d it go?”
“Well,” he mumbles. “The breeze is nice, and the waterfall looks excellent coming off the banister, but, uh…”
“Having some trouble with the Newtons?”
“Why, yes. Is there a way to, um… stop them, perhaps?”
“Um… We can try returning them. Just a sec.” She flips her laptop open once again, navigates to Amazon. A couple clicks and a quick search later, she’s located the order. “Right then. Returning the Newtons… Reason?”
He glances at her screen from the floor. “Uh, don’t want it anymore?”
“That works,” she states, selecting the reason code and punching next.
A couple screens later, Discord stands up. “Whew! Now, I’ve got some ideas for next time.”
“Ahh… Um, there’s a refund of thirty-six thousand bits, so-”
“Nah, go ahead and keep it. What else have you got?”
“Uh… Anything. Like, literally anything, apparently.” She smiles at him. “Personally, I’m rather curious what Princess Celestia plans on buying.”
“Oh? Hmm… I think I’ll wait on my next order, then.”
“Wha-? Huh… Um, ‘Due to the size of your order, we are not able to offer our normal two-day shipping speed. The fastest we can get your order to you is Thursday afternoon, in three days’ time.” She looks up at Princess Celestia. “First time I’ve seen that, I’ll admit.”
“Uh… ‘Unfortunately, this is a unique item. We cannot ship more than one because only one exists in the universe.” She looks up at Princess Luna. “Well, we can’t get a dozen of those, but there’s probably something similar that we can…”
“Wha-? Oh, this again… No, wait. ‘Due to the size of your order, we are not able to offer our normal two-day shipping speed. The fastest we can get your order to you is Friday afternoon, in four days’ time.” She looks up at Luna. “Are you completely sure you want to order that?”
Thursday. Celestia’s order arrives.
Golden Locks is in Canterlot to witness it.
Three Helicarrier-sized cargo planes, loaded full of stuff. Most of it goes into storage; even Celestia is surprised to learn that, thanks to the quantities she’d ordered an entire one of those planes was stuffed chock full of confectionary delights.
Friday. Luna’s order arrives.

Sorry, this story has been stonewalled at this point for four months... and we're prettymuch past the part where I can have any real comedy left. Even this feels a little stunted, after Twilight's... so I left Luna's (clearly excessive) order to mystery.

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US!!

I'm sorry, I really wish I had more to offer. I know I enjoyed writing it as well.
Wow. They actually broke the 2-day limit. Scary.

FYI: On car tires, it's Prime 3-day shipping. Still showed up in two, though... (Yes, real-world experience.)
What was Luna's order? I am too scared to find out, but I am really curious......

This is a very good question. There's a few hints when she's placing it... but I don't think I ever even conceptualized it.
I wanna know what Best Princess ordered!!
I'm on the fence between
(A) a ton of console games with respective consoles as well as a big screen tv
-OR-
(B) a ton of VR games with appropriate VR gear and the rest of any needed items to be able to use all of it.
I'm a big fan of Gamer Luna if it wasn't obvious
