bathtubs can never be trusted

   Celestia slumped through the castle, head drooping down as her ears pinned down to her head. She slowly made her way through the main hall, shuffling up the ruby red carpet. "Maybe its when I said it can't get any worse. I jinxed it." she thought to herself.

As she shuffled pass the guards, she noticed that a few showed their displeasure and wordiness towards their highness. Celestia didn't even bother to say hi, being so down in the dumps. Soon, she arrived at her bathroom. Opening the regal-looking wooden door, she filled the tub with warm water.

  Bath time.

  Not forgetting Discord's soap suds, she took out the bottle. Knowing that Discord did something to it, she look closely at the label, not wanting to be caught of guard. Celestia sighed and peered at the bottle.

"Warning... Soap comes out in different... colours... at random?" Celestia smiled. "Maybe it will turn me rainbow colour."

Grabbing a towel and heading for the bathroom, she removed her crown and all her jewelry, bracelets, and shoes with her magic. Maybe a song would cheer her up.

  "Im walking on sunshine!" Celestia hummed in a cheery tone,"walking on sun-aaahhh!" Screamed a terrified Celestia now flipped over on her back with a shower curtain sprawled across her. She looked up to see a... very familiar guard...

  "Iron...Iron Shield? What are you doing in here at this time of night? I thought I gave you the day off!" Celestia half-yelled at him, demanding him to explain himself.

  "Uhh well... umm you see I can explain! You know... er... have you ever heard of a... um... snipe?" Iron asked, shaking and stuttering.

  "A snipe, huh?"

  "Yes... umm... yeah, yeah! A snipe there very dangerous creature, skilled in being... sneaky and... uh... it's tall, has feathers and stuff." He gave her a look and she knew immediately that he was lying but, she didn't say a thing.

  "Oh! A snipe. Who hasn't heard of those, right?" Celestia gave him a smirk, believable and trained from all those years of negotiation and meetings.

  "Yeah well as I was leaving I uh... saw one! yes I saw a nasty one big teeth and everything so I decided to stay and... investigate." He lied straight through his teeth.

  Celestia smiled. "Actually, I got a snipe from the minister of buffalo kingdom." Iron's eyes widened as his face turned pale. Celestia turned and grabbed some air with her magic, solidifying it into a moving figure. She levitated it out as the air trashed around in her magic. "Did you know, that they feast on..."

  "... the ponies blood?"

  Iron turned and wailed as he ran out with his tail between his legs. Celestia sighed and giggled to herself as she closed the door, locking it tightly. Grabbing a robe and a towel, she went to the mirror and started pulling out special shampoos and conditioners.

Looking at the tub that was now full, she took the bath suds and poured them in. The bright white bathtub immediately turned into a explosion of rainbow pellets. Pleased with the warmth of the tub she stuck one hoof in, testing the pleasant temperature.

She sighed as she lowered herself into the bath, enjoying the scent. Soon her eyes closed as she drifted off into dreamland.

  ---+==/(?)==+---

  "Ugh... oh where am I?" Celestia asked as she fell back into consciousness from a dreamless sleep. Droplets of rain water fell on her as she scanned her surroundings. She looked up around her and saw a street, tall buildings around her stretching miles higher than anything in Canterlot. There were lamp posts everywhere and what looked like metal carriages resting on the black street.

A noise brought Celestia to her senses as she turned to look at a creature that walked on two legs. "A monkey!" Was what she thought first, before seeing the weapon in the creature's hand. Judging by the shape and size of the being, she concluded that it was male.

The man walked and stumbled, Celestia's magic and wing's useless after testing it out. In the midst of panic, she saw a large green foul-smelling bucket, and jumped behind it to hide.

   Celestia used the newspaper to keep warm and covered from the rain but, it didn't work to well. She sat there scared out of her mind, also known as, terrified. She heard hundreds of different things pass her, and every time that happened she held her breath and prayed to sweet faust that nothing would find her.

  She could't think of anything besides Luna her sad face when she said the she didn't care to her. Celestia never thought it was even physically possible for things to get worse but, as always, it did. She layer there, tearing up all alone, probably not even in her world any more, just somewhere in the multiverse with no magic and flying. Even if she could, there were monstrous things everywhere she looked.

  Now Celestia was just trying to figure out who did this. She had suspicions of Iron Shield, but he was a pegasus and only unicorns of high magic levee can't cast dimensional spells like this one. She was hoping this was a different dimension and not some apocalyptic future the place was polluted. Disgusting trash on every corner from what she could see. It scared her very much.

Questions swarmed through her mind like ants. What was she gonna do? Where was she? And who sent her here? All the princess now had was more and more questions as time went on.

A name suddenly pops up into her mind.

"Discord."

CLANK

  She quietly held her breath and tears began to form as she saw a man in a coat with pants. He was... crying. He began to speak, and strangely, Celestia could understand him. "AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR HER!" He screamed out with rage. "She just leaves without saying anything! How much of an idiot does she think I am!?" He continued to babble on about a girl who left him for something. He smashed a bottle of what looked like alcohol on the ground, shattering it into a million pieces.

  She watched him curl up in the rain and cry, eventually falling asleep out of exhaustion. Celestia was freezing, but he was probably gonna die here. She hated to do it, but she walked over and wrapped the newspaper around him and snuggled up to him. "Bad idea, but hopefully after tonight he'll survive."
