Bureaucracy

Cadance and Shining smiled nervously, a crowd of crystal ponies bowing in front of them.

“What are they doing?” Cadance whispered to her husband.

Glancing her way, he yelled to the crowd. “Uhh… Why are you all bowing?”

A pony in the front, a green mare, looked up before quickly bowing again. “You saved our kingdom and our lives! We are now your humble servants!”

Shining and Cadance looked to each other, each as confused as the other.

“I’m sorry, I don’t really follow.” She said to the gathering.

“It’s Crystal Kingdom law!” A brown stallion, still face down, yelled, “We all owe you life debts now that you’ve saved us!”

“But, Spike saved you!” Shining said, exasperated.

“…Who?”

“The green and purple dragon?”

They all blinked before laughing and cheering, getting up and leaping for joy.

“What a relief! The next law says Dragons are excluded from life debts!”
