"I can't do it!"
Trixie had been trying for hours to even start to understand the spell, but to no avail. It was just ridiculous! She was even starting to believe the pony who created it just wrote a bunch of random words and number on a page and called it magic. "This is ridiculous! Nopony can learn this spell!" she complained.
Luna rolled her eyes. "Twilight Sparkle did it." she said.
Trixie glared. "Sparkle..." she muttered menacingly.
A knock was heard on the door. "Come in!" Luna called. The door swung open, revealing her sister and Twilight.
"Hello Princess, we just came to check up on you and your new... student." Twilight greeted. She cast a suspicious glance at Trixie, who returned the favour.
"Sparkle..." the mare muttered again, confusing Twilight.
"Luna, you did not tell me you would be getting somepony else to learn the spell." Celestia stated. "I don't think outsourcing is a very good idea."
"You're not my real mother! You can't tell me what to do!"
Twilight scratched the back of her head. "She's not your mother at all. Right?" she said, unsure. "Hey, who are your parents, anyway?"
Celestia looked at her student. "That's a question you don't ask, Twilight. For that, you go to the dungeon." Two guards trotted up to Twilight and grabbed her, dragging her along.
"What?! Why?! Please, no!" she screamed.
"Trixie, you can be my new protege." Celestia said, smiling at Trixie. Trixie raised her hoof into the air.
"Yes!"
Luna growled and glared at Celestia. "Hey! She's my student! You can't have her!" she said. Celestia just rolled her eyes.
"I can do whatever I want, I'm a princess."
"So am I!"
"Hmm..." Celestia hummed. "It seems we are at an impasse. This problem must be dealt with appropriately."

Celestia and Luna stood back to back, holding flintlock pistols, Luna in her magic, and Celestia in her mouth. Trixie was standing off to the side, overseeing the duel.
"Remember," she said, " ten paces, turn, and fire. Whoever lives gets me as their student."
The two princesses nodded. "Begin!" Trixie called out, prompting the princesses to move. One step, two steps, three steps. A nervous sweat was breaking out on all three of the ponies present. Four steps, five steps, six steps. The outcome of this duel would decide the fate of Equestria.
Seven steps...
Eight steps...
Nine steps...
Bam!
"They're dead! They're both dead!" Trixie cried, watching the bodies of the two Alicorns drop. However, they didn't stay dead. The two princesses got up, brushing the dirt off their coats.
"What, you thought we were dead? Alicorns can't die, silly. We settle all our arguments like this."
Trixie stared, wide-eyed, before shrugging. Everypony started dancing and everyone in the world had a giant party.

Berry Punch groggily opened her eyes. "That was the weirdest dream I have ever had..." she muttered. She glanced at the empty bottle of wine in her hoof, and threw it across the room.
"I really need to stop drinking before bed."

AUTHOR'S NOTE-
Well, that's it. That's the end. It was all a dream. Now, before you all shout 'But Clueless! You can't end it like that!' you need to remember: I started writing this as a joke, and never intended for it to get so popular. This was the ending I had planned fro the start. I even had the duel scene planned out a week before I started writing the story.
Okay, now, if you feel like it, you can thumbs down this story or un-favourite it or whatever it is you feel like doing.
This is clearly a prank and/or meta plot device.
Best. Ending. Ever! You sir, get all my moustaches: !
I cant tell if this is a troll chapter or the actual ending.....
EDIT: Oh nevermind the story still saying it is incomplete
So it's all a dream?

Makes sense to me.
I always hated that cop-out.
...
And yet here, it's strangely fitting.
And like that you lost me,
Hilarious concept though would be worth another look at.
Silly people, expecting such a nonserious story to have a serious ending.
Why so serious?

Strangely fitting, indeed.
1752666>>1752511
pones r srs bzns dudez, srs bsns.
That must have been some potent wine.
lol I knew something was weird here
Poor Twi, though. Ten millon years dungeon.
She used her magic to throw the bottle, right?
*headdesk*
Normally I loathe cop-out endings like this, but here all i could think was "Yeah that sounds about right."
Unfavorite? Downvote?
Naw, I'll wear this like a batch of honor:
It was the right thing to do at the time and just because it was stupid in the end doesn't change a thing!
1752666
I wasn't expecting it to have a serious ending. At the very least I wanted a proper ending, where at least some of the plot actually gets resolved. This does absolutely nothing for me.
...I'm just going to take my favorite off this and head for the exit.
EDIT: You can keep the upvote, though.
Luna rolled her eyes. "Twilight Sparkle did it." she said.
You think that would give her inspiration to try even harder.
" This was the ending I had planned fro the start."
I've changed my endings depending on how the story evolved from how I start up.
I rate this story mildly retarded.
1818443 You rated it less retarded than I did.

Hahaha I know, it's the perfect ending for the whole shebang.
1826575
Glad some of you agree!
1752567
I didn't even think to check! Hold on I'll be right back....
....Awwww, it's marked as complete, why did you get my hopes up like that
My response at the ending:
.........
I lol'd.

I've never actually heard that saying. You learn something new every day.
We've all been Super mario Bros 2'd. I was about to question how celestia servived the gun shot even if she wasn't an alicorn anymore, but it was a dream, so F it.
Hey, Clueless, something just occurred to me.
THIS STORY IS FLIPPIN' EPIC, BRO!
I am not worthy of this Genius!

You'll change your mind once you reach the ending. Everyone else did.

Well, that depends, did you make Spike an alicorn? If you did, Then you will have earned all of my respect, no matter how stupid the plot is (and no, i haven't read it yet, I just like the idea.)
2040071
Spike is an Alicorn. I'm glad I could have earned your respect. Check out my other work!
2040075
I will at some point. Probably something shorter than this so I can read it through.

Oh, read Chill Spider! Everybody loves Chill Spider.
>everyone int he world had a giant party

Fixed.
Wait, when did Celestia regain her Alicornhood? Or are we just gonna sweep it under the rug as a product of the dream breaking down because Berry's waking up?
...I think I'm overthinking this.
