The Diary of Celestia

The Diary of Celestia

Dear Diary        Today Thunderhoof stopped by again. I told her that I sent the money to Smart Cookie and she seemed very worried that I had only sent four ponies to carry around that many bits across Equestria. She offered to get a proper team together and meet with them to help carry it but I was quick to remind her that it had to be done as discreetly as possible. She seemed annoyed but eventually she understood I was right.        During Thunderhoof’s visit what I was not expecting was a visit from a certain Princess Platinum. The guard who had to tell me that she was here requesting an audience was rather scared, the poor thing.        I put on my most gracious and confident looking face as I walked into my throne room to see her. When I walked it she looked furious. I sat down at my throne and greeted her as kindly as I could, only to have her completely undermine my authority.        She was absolutely enraged after “All I had done” I would have the gaul to sit in my own throne in her presence. She demanded to know what I was making Clover the Clever do. Apparently Clover the Clever decided to ignore one of Princess Platinum’s orders to do something for me. She knows it was me because when she asked Clover the Clever immediately told her that my authority resides over all others.        I sat there for a good thirty or so minutes as I listened to Platinum rant on and on that I was overstepping my boundaries and among other things. Finally with a wave of my hoof she silenced. I stood up and told her she needed to calm herself. I also told her it would not happen again and that I would never try and forsake the unicorns authority.        Rant after rant began about how it should not have happened in the first place. Eventually she ran out of things to complain about and she left. I made sure to make her think she really accomplished something by coming here though by offering one of my guard to help her with things as Clover the Clever finishes what I need her to.        The only thing that worries me now is that Princess Platinum might start getting suspicious, and who knows if Smart Cookie is going to be able to stay away from Chancellor Puddinghead for long. I am sure she is getting bothered by her absence.

Then again. I am sure Smart Cookie was able to get somepony to keep her distracted. She is a simple pony. -Celestia
