Celestia knows Sunset and her friends are often at the center of "happenings" around Canterlot High. So when she overhears Sunset talking to her friends on a cell phone, she can't help but listen in. Maybe she'll learn something about what they're doing.

Or maybe she'll be completely lost about what they're doing.

Maybe get three wine bottles, just to be on the safe side.

Alongside this being a nice one-shot, there is SO much potential for so much more from this world and/or whatever was going on.

This was great. Loved how we got the perspective of some sort of EqG event from someone on the sidelines. It's gotta suck living in their world :rainbowlaugh:

Keep up the amazing work, mate!

Love the bit about Bon Bon.

…Another bottle. Definitely another bottle.

Celestia made a mental note to call her insurance agent to check on her levels of home, car and life insurance -- for the fifth time since the beginning of the semester.

Make it four, one for Luna when she inevitably rants about it.

I love stories that show an outsider's perspective on all these magical shenanigans. Very well done.

Seriously though, where the heck are the cops when any of this stuff goes down? Does that world just not have cops?

Perhaps stock up in the event whatever Sunset and friends get into does involve the school.

Top shelf!

Dogchipping...

New word of the year!

--Spade

This was ingenious from start to finish. Magnificent job.

Ok, who fed Angel the alien carrot.

I mean, of course it deserved it, but, wouldnt it have been better to put Angel on the invading fleets mothership in orbit first? :pinkiecrazy:

I think the store needs to put a certain track on the PA system, might even get some sales out of it.

I propose Whisky In The Jar. :trollestia:

Brilliant work in getting a full story's worth of humor out of half a conversation. Thank you for it.

We've seen one in a music video, so they're at least semi-canon.

Oh sweet Celestia now I am so tempted to scratch out a one-shot about poor Sweetie Drops and her terrible undercover assignment. And of course poor Cookie Pusher would get involved somehow. . . .

Sunset should really know situational awareness

Oh please don't let it be just a one shot. There is a lot of potential here by switching characters and situations around. Poor Celestia will need more booze.

Glorious. Simply glorious.

Lovely concept for a one-shot!

The world almost certainly has cops, one of them almost certainly being Twilight Sparkle's older brother. I suspect the local cops have become sufficiently used to the local Twilight that she has a lot of leeway by now. They might even be relieved she has friends and has settled down some.

I agree, this could be the basis for a series of shots about people overhearing many fun shenanigans.

More voices. Giving students extra credit for divulging personal information was probably two dozen kinds of illegal, Celestia reminded herself.

why is she contemplating this?

Can we have a sequel that is the actual phone call. I want to hear this entire conversation.

This was great. :rainbowlaugh: I didn't expect the mention of Bon-Bon near the end, but that just made it even funnier. Great work all around!

Fluttershy rolled a Natural 1 on her animal check?

Is this a praise of the story or a suggestion for Celestia's next alcoholic selection?

Well, first off, this was in the Recommended Section of another story I was reading. The small blurb sounded interesting enough that I decided to check it out. I can pleasantly say that I am not disappointed with what I read.

Second off:

A screech emanated from the phone; Sunset yelped and nearly dropped it. It sounded like a rabid dog being fed through a malfunctioning woodchipper, even at this distance.

Do I even REALLY want to know what this actually sounds like? Cause the mental imagery alone makes me want to say this:

“Because I’m not paying for the whole pile of shredded cow flesh,” yelled Sunset, gesticulating wildly, “and it’s not my fault Angel got turned into a ravening monster! More than he already was, I mean.” Her voice dropped to almost a whisper. “ Don’t tell Fluttershy I said that. ”

so true:ajsmug::pinkiesmile::rainbowlaugh::raritystarry::twilightblush:

wow, did not expect that second part. :pinkiegasp:

A screech emanated from the phone; Sunset yelped and nearly dropped it. It sounded like a rabid dog being fed through a malfunctioning woodchipper, even at this distance. As a hyperventilating Sunset put the phone back to her ear, Celestia paused in her step.

😰 That can't be good.

…Another bottle. Definitely another bottle.

best to let the wine distract you Celestia after what you heard from Sunset.
