What Happens In A Throne Room

It was just starting to become noon in the luxurious capital city of Canterlot. The market was bustling with various consumers, the street shops were lively, and E3 was being held at the Canterlot Community Facility. However, none of this mattered. No, what really mattered was what was going on in the Royal Castle. The citizens were of no concern for the ponies who worked or lived within the Royal Castle because the Royal Castle was the only place in Canterlot where peace and quiet could be found. It was the only place in Canterlot where somepony could study in the large library.

But of course, that's what the citizens of Canterlot believed.

The royal throne room had gotten quite the upgrades since Twilight Sparkle had been magically mutated into an alicorn. The throne room had to get expansions, so taking down a couple of walls and windows in order to make the room larger was a priority. That had been accomplished in a weeks time, and now each princess of Canterlot had her own throne. Princess Celestia's was her usual golden throne with red cushions. Princess Luna's was a dark silver, with night sky blue cushions. Princess Twilight's was a beautiful amethyst throne, carved in such a way to represent a complex stack of books that together looked like a throne. Her cushion was also a rather large book.

"More paperwork from the market, your Highness." A royal guard said as he brought Princess Celestia a stack of forms and legal contracts from stands in the market.

Princess Celestia told the guard thank you and took the papers to her desk. She then quickly looked all the forms over, examining each one like a lawyer. She quickly noticed all of the forms were for ponies who wanted to set up fruit stands in the market. "As if we didn't need more fruit stands." Celestia muttered to herself as she levitated her magical Nyan Cat.gif stamp and an ink bowl to her desk. This stamp was her indication that she didn't give a fuck about the document, and when it was returned to the applicant they would have to deal with the bitterness of this pastry kitten. "This is gonna be a real piece of piss, you bloody fruit shop owners!" Celestia shouted as she rapidly stamped and stacked the forms.

Meanwhile, Princess Luna was flipping through channels on her magically created portal that allowed her to open up a portal anywhere in Equestria and see what's going on. "Oooh! Blitzball!" Luna announced gleefully as she stared into the portal. It was a blitzball tournament in Zanarkand, and her beautiful night shined over the stadium with its shimmering darkness. The star player of the Zanarkand Abes, Tidus, was about to score a goal when the crowd started screaming. The next thing Luna saw was darkness. Complete darkness.

"Erectin' a Book Fort!" Twilight yelled as she wore her usual psycho princess look. She quickly ran to Canterlot's private library and levitated as many books as she could get. All of them were on all kinds of magic, and she wanted to create the most magical book fort ever. After getting roughly two thousand books, she took out a wrench and started building her book fort around her throne. "Build a book fort, LIKE A PRINCESS!" Twilight shouted. When she was finally done she took a moment to examine her work. "I built that."

Luna had gotten off her throne to speak with her sister. "Sister, thou should do something about Zanarkand! I want to watch my blitzball!" Luna asked her sister in a hurried voice.

"No worries, Mate!" Princess Celestia spat out as she turned around. "I have somepony covering all of that with this giant protective summoned beast. It'll be fine."

Celestia then saw her student's massive book fort. "Piss!" She said in a stallion-toned voice. She then took out a glass jar containing a yellow substance. "Jarate!" She said as she threw the jar of piss at Twilight's book fort.

"Now I've seen everything!" Twilight grunted. "Erectin' a Book-a-pult!" She screamed, quickly swinging her wrench at a few books, which magically turned into a catapult that launched books. When she was finished, she also started making a guard for her book fort. She felt that Celestia was going to strike again, or maybe Luna, or even that spy, Rarity!

Luna wanted to know what Twilight's book fort was all about, so she trotted right over to the entrance. As soon as she approached, a funny little robot made out of books came right to her.

"Hello, and welcome to Princess Twilight's book fort. I am CL4P-TP, but you can call me by my locally designated name 'Claptrap'." The robot said. Luna was not impressed. She was actually quite annoyed with the little robot.

"NOPE!" Luna said with a sure tone in her voice. Her neck also extended as she said it, which made the robot feel disturbed and he instantly exploded, books and burning papers flying everywhere.

"Come on in, you're missing the fun!" Twilight said in a fillyish voice. Luna thought this was creepy, but she proceeded in anyway. To her surprise, the inside of Twilight's book fort looked mostly like a workshop. She had her Smarty-Pants doll tied up in a book chair and strapped to a couple of fireworks.

"All around the Discord statue, the filly chased the butterfly. The filly thought all was fun till-" Twilight stopped momentarily to jump onto a trigger, which made the fireworks go off. Twilight's doll was completely destroyed in the explosion. "POP! Goes the butterfly!" She finished with a wicked smile towards Luna.

Meanwhile, outside all the commotion, two guards stood side by side. Suddenly, one started flying around the other, making engine sounds with his mouth. The one guard standing still was not amused, and just stared at the other. Suddenly, the flying one crashed and slid on the ground, making a landing sound with his mouth.

"Stop with the Space-Pony thing." The annoyed guard said.

"Are you saying you want to file a complain with Star Command?" The moronic one spat out toward his fellow guard.

"Oh oh, okay, so you wanna do it the hard way, huh?"

"Don't even think about it, Cowpony."

"Oh yeah, tough guy?" He reached up toward the other guard's helmet and tore it off of him. To his surprise, the stupid one started making suffocating sounds like he ran out of air.

"How dare you open a space pony's helmet on an uncharted planet! My eyeballs could have been sucked from their sockets!" The stupid one said as he grabbed his helmet and put it back on.

"You actually think you're the space pony? Hey guys, look! It's the real space pony!" The annoyed one started laughing hysterically as he pointed at the stupid guard.

"You're mocking me, aren't you?"

"Oh no, no no no no- Hey, look! An alien!"

"What?! Where?!" The stupid one turned around just to get back-stabbed by his buddy.

Back at Twilight's book fort, Luna and Twilight started catapulting books at Celestia. This continued for the whole day. All until the three Princesses had to go to sleep.
