The Royal Prank

Flash Sentry’s heart was still pounding as he slipped the package into his pocket. He had told himself to leave it under Celestia’s bed. As he slowly flew up the building, he knew that he was running out of time.

She was still sleeping as he climbed in. Quietly, he slipped the package under the bed and jumped out of the window after setting the timer on the bomb. The yellow pegasus flew across the horizon, just as the Canterlot Castles exploded.

Twilight Sparkle groaned as she sat up and walked away from her bed. Two nights of endless conferences, interviews, questions, and worst of all, Luna, and her infinite speeches about her concern for her own sister. I know that their bond was close, she thought to herself, but she doesn’t have to remind me every living second of my life!

She felt a slight shudder as she remembered looking at the bizarre sight at the castle two days ago. Covered in rainbow paint, sprinkles, and frosting, Celestia looked like an alicorn rainbow dash, an alicorn who had been stuck in a state of shock for two days now since the party bomb exploded when she dragged it out of her bed.

Being a Party bomb that was set off, Pinkie Pie was naturally suspected, but the Cakes quickly provided a solid alibi that she had spent all evening looking after the baby cakes at the time of the explosion.

The Royal Guards, including her brother, had checked the chaos left by bomb to no anvil, the only piece of evidence being a yellow feather found outside of the castle, which was still being identified by the Royal Science Academy, leaving them no choice but to take Pinkie in for questioning.

Twilight knew that her brother told her to stay put and not interfere, but after seeing Celestia in such an embarrassing situation and innocent Pinkie Pie arrested, she knew that something had to be done. Suddenly, Twilight thought of an idea. It was the most amazing and dumbest idea ever, but it just might work.

Soaring out of her window, she flew over to Rainbow Dash’s home and knocked on the door. The rainbow pegasus opened the door lazily, yawning and stretching her wings. Before she could groggily greet Twilight and close the door, since it was only 7am, she soon found herself being pushed out of the window by Twilight while hearing her scream: “We’re going to Canterlot!!!”
