I'm Mad as Tartarus And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore!

The crowd waited anxiously outside Twilight's castle. She was about to read her official speech to celebrate the fifth anniversary of her transformation into a princess. A hushed silence fell over the assembled ponies as Twilight stepped out onto the small stage

"Hello everypony," said Twilight, smiling warmly. Her five friends were visible at the front of the crowd, alongside Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Shining Armour. "During my time as Princess of Friendship, I've been given many new and exciting responsibilities! Ponies and other species from all over Equestria- and beyond- have come to me asking to help solve friendship problems! Every school in Equestria asks me to oversee troublesome foals! And interviewers!" A tone of anger shot through her voice. "So many interviewers, all asking the same sodding questions over and over!"

A gasp rose from the crowd. The other Princesses' mouths hung open. Spike fainted.

"Always, ponies come to me about their problems! Never thinking I might have something else to do, or somepony else's problems! Or that it's my only day off! Some of them haven't even tried to sort things out myself, and they never needed me in the first place! Everypony's complaining about the smallest of problems! And I'm sick of it! It's like everything going crazy, so we don't try to sort things out anymore! We withdraw from problems while moaning that the problem doesn't seem to ever get solved! And you get frustrated and go home and ask to be left alone!" By now Twilight was angrily screaming at the crowd, who could only mindlessly stare back.

"Twilight!" Spike ran onto the stage, having recovered from his shock. "You're going crazy!"

"SHUT UP, SPIKE!" Twilight yelled. Spike whimpered and backed away. Twilight turned back to the audience. "I'm not going to leave you alone! I'm mad! I'm sick of the protests and riots and complaints, I hate it all! I don't know what problems to solve first, and I don't instantly know how to solve them, like you expect me to! All I know is I'm mad! I'm mad as Tartarus and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

The shocked silence was broken by a single applause from Celestia.

"So I'm going to be a satirical radio host," announced Twilight.

The applause stopped.
