Put the cart before the horse, mix things up, and look at them in a different way.

Starlight Glimmer finally achieves her lifelong dream of being a homeowner, and she buys a house near the Friendship School. But Uncle Ponyville wants his fair share, and Starlight's property taxes are raised by 5,000 Pony Dollars a year. To top it off, Starlight has stopped taking her anti-evil medications.

After Starlight realizes that she won't be able to pay, she goes on a magical rampage. Now she'll track down whatever government officials are responsible for the tax, and she'll do everything within her power to persuade them to reverse it. What's within Starlight's power? A lot.

LOL. I wonder how Starlight has enough food for five years though.

The story wasn't really inspired by real-life events. I just wanted to give Starlight a reason to go on a rampage across Equestria.

Discord and Celestia worked out a plan for Starlight to go to "prison". He'll probably just zap down to Ponyville, get some food, and bring it up to Starlight.

What the heck

That's a crack fic for ya. :eeyup:

I get why they call these crack fics. You smoked way too much, bud.

Only 5000? Starlight doesn’t own real estate

She had that shack in "Our Town".

She also wore a pair of sunglasses and a black trench coat like Neo from the Matrix.

How that staple got in her eye then?

Her new house is nicer than that old one. I think she feels more of a sense of achievement and pride since she purchased it instead of having a bunch of basically enslaved ponies build it for her. She didn't really own that home, the ponies who built it for her did.

Ask for the staple, it hit her right on her eyebrow and then deflected into her eye. So it didn't hit the glasses to start with.

Well, I believe it was one of first buildings (if not first) in the village, so she built it mostly herself with some help. Actually, taking into account how capable unmarked ponies are, I imagine more funny picture: Starlight doing every single necessary job that requires any qualification for everyone herself by night. Sleep deprivation would explain her being so snippy :rainbowlaugh:

Oh, Starlight, you wacky pony!

Shame White Hope didn't get to keep his police car.

Hilarious! I mean really laugh-out-loud hilarious! I needed a little levity.
