Warning: The following story is currently unedited and contains dark humor, an odd set up for a practical joke among immortal Princesses, whom one of them will no doubt go crazy, random things before she thinks she "kicks the bucket."
It just might be the most ingenious prank that Princess Luna has ever conceived. A simple one at that. All she had to do was to bribe her sister's most trusted doctor to tell her that she's dying. With only about a week left, Celestia then decides that she will spend her last eight days doing the crazy, immature, random and funniest things that she could think of while preparing for her own funeral.
Who says that when Celestia gets laid with a random royal guard/stallion orgy she winds up pregnant as a result when the joke ends?
Luna is so dead.

Oh I so see consequences at the end of this
After reading I don't think Luna will end up on the moon nor will she suffer in Tartarus. Celestia will figure out something more severe. 😂
Oh I am so reading this. I even came close to doing this idea myself. If you need crazy ideas for what happens can we suggest?
Luna. You're going to the sun for this.
This is beyond a prank. This is cruelty.
This isn't a prank, this is blatant cruelty at its worst. I hope that this backfires on Luna horrendously. If it does I have ZERO sympathy for her. Poor Celestia.

Oh justice will be served, but I don't want to ruin the punchline just yet.
a small part of me feels the doctor clued Celestia in on Luna's thing and that she's just going along with it
Ye gods, that's a fucked up 'joke.'
Really curious where you're going with this and just what Celestia's reactions will be... but it does seem like more something Discord at his dickiest and least concerned with consequences would dream up, not the Princess of Guilt Complexes Luna.
I love you Luna, but that's a step a little too far. You should enjoy you last days as well.... cause when Celestia finds out, Oh Celestia, there'll be trouble

Now what did I say? Justice will be done.

fixed and thanks.
I disagree with all the people saying this prank is terrible. Celestia has the worst life I could imagine for an immortal being. Head of state and always under scrutiny. She needs to live a little without fear of consequence.
A bucket list made because of a prank?
*grins in evilly stupid*
Proceed.
9240169 Well, that's what *I* might do... After all, it's become a habit.
This is fcked up! I love it!
Intriguing!
This is so effed up by Luna, but then again, she's rarely entirely sane. And to be honest, 'life worth living' revelation might do a lot of good to Celestia in a long run, and the rest of Equestria with her.
I really like the premise. It'd be good for Celestia to get out there and start living - consume an entire buffet, take a turn at an improv club, meet a special somepony, apologize to all those she's wronged, spill her deepest secrets. It was a good read. However, the story could use some editing and the first chapter felt rushed. But still coming back for the next chapter.

Is the punchline going to be that Celestia will actually turn out to have actual disease that would kill her when those 8 days are up?
Either that or Luna turns out to actually have something
THIS CAN ONLY END WELL
The doctor can wave his license goodbye though, not only did he lie to the head of state but he broke doctor patient confidentiality. the only place a doctor can actually get away with that BS is Scrubs.
I think Luna should say "I will take full responsibility" instead I will be "full responsible".
Other than that, a little bit more detail on their faces to indicate what the reader should should picture in their mind.
Otherwise, a good start.
This story is in and of itself an excellent idea, and it's simple premise has me giggling like an enamored teenager who's anticipating a date with their childhood crush. But, there are MULTIPLE grammatical errors, and typos. I'm not going to point them out because I don't care enough, and I'm too lazy, but I thought you should know. Can't wait for chapters to come!
9242498 That's the way these things tend to go
I agree Celestia does have the worst life, as an immortal myself I can sympathize that unless you do something with it, it's not life. however luna, your fucked
The moral of the story is always the same:
If you live as if you never die, you die while you have never lived.
This is an interesting start for the story. I'll be following this and I can't WAIT to see what Celestia does.

Me too!

more likely celestia is, and maybe luna with her 10 to one on the last day she does something legitmatly suicidal figuring 'eh ima die in a few hours anyway, whats the harm in cuting it a little short'
she wouldnt be the first who had done such a thing maybe literaly send herself to the sun, just to see how it feels to be one with the stellar mass she has sheperdad for so long.
This should be interesting
That was beautiful....Banana Coffin.....BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Carbonated urine, eh Discord? Spicy.
hmm, you a fan of christopher titus?
9245349
Why yes. Yes I am.
9245351
cardboard boxes huh? heh heh
At least Celestia has calmed down.
Welp, you weren't kidding with the info you gave me on this, this is going to be interesting... *begins stroking beard* and might not end well...
for some reason as I read the begining of this chapter, this popped into my head...
Okay then... haven't heard that one before...

A banana coffin. ... Okay then. ..
I had half wondered if perhaps Celestia had already figured out from the start that this is a prank from Luna and would start deliberately playing it up for all its worth in order to troll her but the fact that this is from her perspective means that probably isn't the case. Oh well, this will still be funny though.
I can see to possible endings to this story. Celestia finds out it's a prank ahead of time, and actually fakes her death to get back at Luna, or Luna ironically contracts the same brain cancer the doctor claimed Celestia had.
I'm getting a Peter Capaldi regeneration speech vibe from this.
oh,dear,Could I translate and respost this article
