Discussing Matters Over Dinner.
Luna winced as the door clicked behind her, she gave a weak smile as Celestia looked at her with disappointment. She pouted and sat down, when she was comfortable she spoke, "Have you been waiting long dear sister?"
Luna started to sweat, it was the third time she's been late to dinner this week and the 15th time this month! Celestia was going to banish her to the moon! Or worse, make her miss desser-
"Nah not thaaaaat long really...!" Celestia slurred trying her best to seem normal, "Sis? You alright?" Luna asked staring at her sister with a creased eyebrow and a concerned look on her face.
"I dunno... I just.." Celestia started, only to be interrupted by a hiccup which had escaped her mouth mid-sentence, "I went ta Ponyville and..." another hiccup came out before she could continue, after a brief moment she started again, "That Berrypunch... She's got the good stuff ya know?"
Luna gasped, "Sister why were you visiting Ponyville and- did you say Berrypunch?!" "Yup!" "The alcohol salesmare?! Sis..."
She sighed, "You're drunk, are you not?" Celestia smiled, "I wouldn't say thaaaaat...." Luna massaged her temples, "Fine. You need rest! The sooner we finish our meals the sooner you go to bed."
She called over one of the royal chefs and whispered in their ear, the chef nodded excitedly and hurried off to the kitchen. She glanced at her drunk sister, 'This is going to be a long night..' She thought trying to smile.
Luna was very relieved when the Entree arrived, Everfree Salad! She levitated some Rainbow sauce in front of her carefully reading the label. It read: Rainbow Sauce: Extremely hot! Only use small amounts! She twisted the cap and tipped the bottle over the salad, one drop, two drops, three drops. She mixed the sauce around and took a bite, perfect!
Celestia grabbed the bottle off Luna, "Gimmeh!" She ordered, "Tia, it's very hot, don't put too much in!"
"Kk.." Said Celestia as she tipped the bottle over her salad, "It's broken!" Celestia complained, "Nothing is coming out!" Her curiosity shifted to anger as the Princess slammed the bottle's bottom quite hard, "Tia I think..." Luna started, "Shut up, I got this!" Then Celestia pounded the poor bottle with all her might!
Blam!
Rainbow sauce covered Celestia and her salad, "I was going to say that, the cap was still on..." Luna sighed, "I'll get a towel and-" "No!" Celestia shouted pushing Luna back into her seat, "I'll lick it off!" "Sis, don't!" "I will!!!!" "Nononono!"
Celestia stuck her tongue out at Luna and ate all of her salad in one big gulp, she then licked down the table and used her tongue (somehow) as a washing cloth for her face.
"Lunaaaaa!" "Yes?"
"HOT"
Luna smiled and used her magic to separate the Rainbow sauce from her own salad then tipped some into Celestia's empty bowl, "Ok, there you go, wash the flavour down with that."
Celestia finished the salad quite quickly and frowned, "What's up with ya and those stallions?!"
"Stallions?!"
"Don't play innocent with meh! I know your like... Going bam bam with em!"
"Bam bam?" Luna half asked half exclaimed,
"Yea! You even had a child!"
"Sis, I haven't had child, 'gone bam bam' if you will or seen any stallions lately!"
"Then explain Blueblood!"
"Blueblood?"
"Yea!"
Luna took a deep breath, "Who is Blueblood?"
"A unicorn claiming to be my nephew! How didn't ya know that?!"
"Never heard of him. He must be lying."
"Yea I'll ring up Molestia she'll punish him..."
"Molestia? Is that an imaginary friend?"
"I dunno! Shut up!"
"Whatever...?"
Luna beckoned the same chef from before and yet again whispered in their ear, much to the chef's delight. Luna sighed, the main course was next.

"Cloud cheese, bananas and Green pea pie, with fully alcoholic apple cide-" Luna nudged the waiter and gave him a stern look, "I mean with Carrot Top Tea!" The waiter levitated the Cider away and replaced it with tea, making Luna nod in an approving way.
Luna gently cut open the pie and took a slice out, she then dipped it in the cheese a had a taste, "Mhmmm!" She mumbled enjoying the sensational flavour that only a royal chef could create. She swallowed after a while and started to speak, "That's great! What do you think Celestia?" She said starting to peal a banana, "Celestia?"
"Mhmhnnhg!" The princess exclaimed with her mouth stuffed with a green mixture, "Don't talk with your mouth full Celestia!" Luna pouted almost throwing up at the princess's horrible manners. "Blah blah blah!" Said Celestia going out of her way to force Luna to see the revolting mixture inside her mouth.
"Yuck." Exclaimed Luna after she took a bite of her banana. "Just eat your food."
Celestia swallowed hard then burped.
'It's like dinning with a two year old!' Luna thought as she took another bite of her banana, "Hey!" Luna shouted as Celestia stole away her pie before engulfing it. "Ha! You lose!" Celestia teased sticking her tongue out.
She then sat with her arms crossed hiccuping every now and then. Luna enjoyed the silence and poured some tea, she took a grateful sip. Finally she could enjoy her- pie... She looked at Celestia's plate. Her pie was still there. Well what was left of it anyway. She pointed to the window, "Look! Twilight!"
It worked the mare was so drunk she spent a couple of minutes scanning the window trying to find Twilight. At last she realised Twilight wasn't there, "Hey! That's not Twilight! That's a window!" Celestia grumbled, "Where did my pie go?!"
"I don't know." Luna giggled, "Maybe that guard took it." She said pointing at a pegasus in full uniform guarding the door.
To make a long story short: it took seventeen guards to get Celestia off the poor guy.
"My apologies sir," Luna smiled trying to get the guard to forgive Celestia for what she had done, "It won't happen again, I promise." The guard winced, "I sure it was an accident." 'This dinner was an accident' thought Luna as she helped the guard get into the hospital cart, "Get well soon!" She called after him as he was dragged away.
"Ouch!" Celestia shouted, "My hair!" Luna dragged Celestia by her hair outside the dining room. "Listen, we were extremely lucky that stallion was good-hearted! If he wasn't you would be all over the papers: "Our Ruler, Is She A Hero Or A Monster?" Your little fight would be everywhere! Now please make it through the rest of the meal, without breaking anymore laws." Celestia pouted, "Fine! Lemme have some more of the good stuff Berrypunch got me first though!" "No!" Luna said, "Come on. We have other things to discuss."
When they had both found their seats Luna pulled out a clipboard and read off it, "Someponies want Equestria to be a democracy, hmmm.... What do you say?" "I say they can take their democracy and shove it up their-" "Moving on, there's a food shortage, any ideas?" "Ask the griffon kingdom for help." Luna nodded that was a very good answer, "Ok, the Equestria games is coming up, should performance enhancers stay illegal?" "Naaah"
Luna rolled her eyes and wrote down:
•No democracy
•Ask griffons for help on food shortage
•Performance enhancers stay illegal
She handed the clipboard to one of the guards and asked them to run it up to Celestia's office. She'll see it when she's sober again.
The chef came over and asked if they wanted dessert. Luna nodded and asked for it to be a surprise as long as there was no alcohol in it, the chef agreed and hurried off to the kitchen.
'Thank the moon dinner is over soon.' Luna thought gratefully.
Discussing Matters Over Dinner.
The bowls clacked against the table as the waiters sat them down.
"Apple crumble with fresh cream!" The waiter declared before hurrying off to join the other chefs in washing up.
"Mmmm! This will be nice!" Luna said as she levitated her spoon, with a gentle flick the dessert was in her mouth. It was very good. The best even! Her eyes wandered over to Celestia who was sleeping?
"Tia?" Luna said nudging her sister, "Out cold."
She levitated her sister onto her back and stumbled out of the room, "Luna? I feel bad.." "Shshh, I'm getting you to bed. Your just tired."
The light of the moon shined onto Luna as she crept down the hallway that led to a large staircase. Luna concentrated, in a matter of seconds she had teleported Celestia and herself up the staircase.
At the top was a door which she nudged open, the room was very warm.
She found Celestia's bed and placed her on top of it. She then covered Celestia up with her blankets.
"Goodnight Celestia."
"Mhmmm... Goodnight...." Celestia mumbled before drifting into a deep sleep.
