Girls Night Out

Luna leaned back after swallowing her last bite. “I think I won,” she burped looking at her empty plate and glass.

“Cheater, I have soup! You had an actual plate, obviously, you would win!” said Celestia lifting her bowl to her lips. She polished it off and laid down on the pillows, her tail wrapped around her hind legs.

“Yeah, well you had magic. So it was fair. After this, I want to go to that parkway Alister and Parish were talking about.” Luna said with a smile. That smile faded quickly as she noticed something. Celestia followed her line of sight to spot their waiter and a rather small orange unicorn walking towards them.

When they arrived the waiter murmured something to the smaller unicorn before looking up at the two mares. The small unicorn spoke first. “Hello ladies, this is my restaurant and it has come to my attention that you have no bits with you, so may I ask. How do you plan to pay for the meal you’ve just eaten?”

Celestia and Luna both sat straight and smiled at him. Celestia started, “I’m sorry, sir. We have no money with us.”

“Than I can not allow you to leave.” He turned to the waiter, “Please contact the royal guard, these two mares will be visiting Luna tonight.”

Luna couldn’t help but laugh. The manager turned and stared at her, “And why is this funny? You’re about to be an indentured servant around here. Of course, you could always just stay in a prison cell for the next year or two. So how is this funny?”

Celestia joined Luna’s laughed and fell back across the pillows, “I can’t…” she took a deep breath, “I’m sorry, but I just- I can’t breath!” She exclaimed, taking the attention of the entire restaurant.

The manager began turning dark red with anger. “How dare you insult me in my own establishment!”

The waiter returned with two purple armored pegasus guards. The manager smiled and looked at the guards, “These two hooligans came in here and ate knowing they had no way to pay for this meal.”

The guards nodded and stepped towards the table. “The two of you are under arrest. We will be taking you to speak with Princess Luna.”

Luna laughed even harder. “Yeah, good luck with that!” she said, stifling her laughter. She chuckled again. “Look, how about you just go speak with the Princesses tomorrow afternoon. They will gladly reimburse you for this meal.”

“I’m sorry, but I can not let you leave my establishment without paying what you owe.” He closed his eyes and shook his head. He nodded to the guards and they stepped forward ready to fight if the had to.

“Please come with us peacefully. We don’t want to hurt either of you,” said one of the guard.

Luna stood and stepped forward. “You-”

The guard stepped forward and cut her off, “Do you know your rights? Do. Not. Speak.”

“Listen here, young colt, I know who you are and I will not tolerate this from you right now.” She looked to the other guard who had stepped over to stand next to the other guard. “You are both knights of the Lunar Princess, Respect her and stand down now.”

Luna turned and nodded to Celestia. Both the guards laughed, “You speak as if you were Luna herself. Well, I’m sorry to tell you little filly. You’ve just won yourself a beating before we drag you to the castle.”

Both the guards stepped forward, one of them with their wings open while the other reared up on his hind legs. Celestia quickly gripped the table with her magic and flipped it sideways, using it as a wall between Luna and the guards. “You are all behaving like children! Just speak with the princesses tomorrow. They will cover all damages and debts for this incident. Trust me.”

“Stop talking out your ass and give me my money!” he roared.
