The One Who Would Do Anything For Love

"B.B.B.F.F!" Twilight exclaimed, "Li'l sis'!" Shining Armour replied "It's been so long since I've seen you, Twily!"

"I missed you Shining." Twilight said, "Where's Cadence?" She asked, "Oh", Shining Armour sighed, "She's sick with poison joke. Her wings have shrunk, her horn doesn't work and on top of that her cutie mark is now a-" he paused and then whispered something in Twilight's ear. "Oh, no!" Twilight gasped, "I thought our poison joke infections were bad!" A wave of agreement went through the small crowd behind her. "How did she get the infection?" Twilight asked. "Zecora came for an audience with the princesses and brought some tea with her. Apparently she accidentally took poison joke instead!"

"Did you say 'princesses?"

"Yeah, Celestia and Luna were there too." Shining Armour stifled a laugh, "Luna has taken over Celestia's duties. All of them but raising the sun."

"How is Celestia? Can I see her?"

"Not if you don't want nightmares!" Shining Armour shuddered, "Challenge accepted!" Rainbow Dash piped up, "Challenge? I'm in!" Applejack replied. "Her room's over there", Shining Armour pointed with his hoof to a large crystal door with two pegasi standing guard, "I won't stop you", the two ponies, one flying and one running took to the door and went in only to immediately and simultaneously leave with their backs against the door. "She's a princess", Rarity said "she can't look that bad!" She too walked into the princess' room but reacted just like the others. "Can we see Luna?" Twilight asked sounding exasperated. "Thankfully, Luna seems to have had the mildest effects. Just a shrinking and a slight lisp."

"Thank Celestia." Twilight sighed.
